Luna: *She noticed Nathan's awkward posture.* "I'll make get him more comfortable."
Trevour: "I'll get the firewood."
Champion: "And I'll light the fire." *She smiled and clicked her finger, causing a flame to swirl in the air.*
Luna: (Wow..) *She stared at the sketch-like flames in amazement, as if it was the first time seeing it.*
?????: "Yeup!"
Luna: "Wow, I can understand-" *She whispered to herself in amazement.* "Ah, she says there's a lot of dead firewood that way-" *She pointed behind her, causing Trevour to change his direction.*
Trevour: "Much appreciated, heh heh."
Luna: *She slowly walked towards Nathan, as she was guided by the Scoldrant's sight.* "And everyone was worried about me, aye-"
Champion: *She watched Luna move Nathan's arms, making him more comfortable.* "It was like destiny that you two met."
Luna: (He is heavy-) "You think?"
Champion: *She nodded her head.* "Not many people are blessed to Soul Link with a Scoldrant while not having the blood."
Luna: "Aha, yea."
?????: "Yeup."
Champion: "Isn't-..." *She stared at the Scoldrant with a blank look on her face.* "What is her name?"
Luna: "Aye?"
?????: "Yew, yeup." *She purred, causing Luna to look surprised.*
Champion: "What did she say? I wouldn't be surprised if it sounded tribal-like-"
Luna: "She doesn't have one-"
Champion: "Oh my."
Luna: "Well... Would you like a name?"
?????: "Yeu?"
Luna: "Better than callin' you furball, aye?"
?????: "Yeup!" *She purred in agreement, causing Luna to chuckle.*
Champion: "Oh my, what will you name her?"
Luna: "Well... When you think about it, it kinda was destiny, aye."
Champion: *She smiled with her eyes closed, nodding her head.* "If you didn't find an attachment with the Scoldrant, if you didn't get struck by Rostical, turning you blind... Meeting up now, I wouldn't know what else to call it."
Luna: "Then, I'd like ya to meet Destiny." *She smirked and looked at the Scoldrant with anticipation, as if she was waiting for her response.*
Destiny: "Yeup!" *She hopped on Luna's shoulder, showing her enthusiasm to her new name.*
Champion: "Well?"
Luna: "Aha. She likes it."
Champion: "Oh my, that's splendid-"
Trevour: *He hobbled out from the trees, dragging a large sack of sand over his shoulder.* "How is he, everyone?"
Champion: *She looked down, noticing Nathan sleeping in a comfortable position.* "He's no longer making sounds of pain."
Trevour: "That's good to hear, miss."
Luna: "Wat's with that on your shoulder?"
Trevour: "Heh heh, very funny-"
Luna: "Umm, wat?"
Trevour: (Oh, she can see now-) "Instead of taking multiple trips, I figured I could grab all the firewood with a sand-made sack."
Champion: "What an excellent idea of making use of your Rostical."
Luna: "Wouldn't that take a lot of Astragongs to hold sand together?"
Champion: "That's right."
Trevour: "Yeah, heh heh." *He spoke with a struggle and dropped the sack on the ground, causing it to burst into sand.*
Luna: *She watched the sand grain on to the ground, revealing a large stack of thick wood.* "Kool."
Trevour: "This would've been much easier if we had one of those RPG bags."
Luna: "They're those bags that can store things limitless, aye?"
Champion: "You're right again, Luna."
Luna: "I always am." *She sniffed and pretended to be cool.*
Trevour: "Even if he wakes up, it would be wise to wait it out tonight."
Luna: *She looked up, watching sketch-like images of the tree branches sway in the wind.* "Fairo."
Champion: "FLAME BOLT" *She gently pushed forward, shooting off a small ball of flames into the wood.*
Trevour: *He watched the fire intensify, causing him to shuffle closer towards it.* "I like the fire."
Luna: "I don't."
Champion: "How come?" *She hobbled closer to the fire and sat down.*
Luna: "It's easier to get warmer than to get colder."
Trevour: (Keeping a consistent hold of the sand really puffed me out-) *He wiped his sweat and collapsed onto his back.*
Champion: "Will we have to worry about Tara again?"
Trevour: "We will. But not for now."
Luna: "So that crazy bitch will be after us again?"
Trevour: "I'm afraid so, madam."
Champion: (Oh my...)
Destiny: "Yeu..." *She meowed with lowering morale.*
Luna: "Oh, by the way, this is Destiny. Destiny, this is Trevor."
Trevour: "Trev-our."
Luna: "Wateva."
Destiny: "Yeup."
Trevour: (Heh heh, what a prankster.) *He smiled, looking at Destiny.* "Destiny was it?"
Destiny: "Yeup."
Trevour: "That's a majestic name, heh heh." *He chuckled with a smile.* "It's a sincere pleasure to meet you."
Destiny: "Yeup!"
Trevour: "I also wanted to thank you with the firewood. It was in the exact direction Luna led me to."
Destiny: "Yeup." *She purred in appreciation.*
Luna: "Oi, where's my thanks?"
Trevour: "And thank you to you too, madam."
Luna: "Damn right, Rusty."
Nathan: "Zzzz." *He snorted in his sleep, causing the champion to smile.*
Luna: (I dunno if it's 'cause I did somethin' with Destiny. But, I'm drained.) *She slowly lay on her back, causing Destiny to hop onto her stomach.*
Champion: (These captains are getting more and more dangerous by the minute.. An ability to not only absorb one's Neurons, but the Neurons out of Rostical too..)
*The champion recalled the time when Tara absorbed her flames and ice.*
Champion: (If only I was able to go back home.. I could tell everyone about the threat that lurks under the Consultant's authority.)
Chapter 6: The Ruins of Estel
Lezard: "As the party walked down an ancient-like road, they noticed two glowing pillars in the distance-" *He clapped his hands and giggled, glancing at Rachael and Twortz.*
Rachael: "That looks like a city." *She smiled with hope and looked at Lezard, waiting for his response.*
Lezard: "Indeedly-do, it is."
Twortz: *She waddled to each side, unintentionally dragging her feet.* (So hot, so weak... I feel sick.. I'm not used to walking this much! I need a car-)
Lezard: "How exciting, we're finally here, little monsters." *He giggled and swayed his bottom to each side.*
Rachael: *She smiled, walking with boosted morale.* "It's pretty quiet."
Twortz: "Hopefully your father can give us answers-"
Lezard: *He instantly noticed damaged ruins in the city's courtyard, causing him to hobble ahead of the girls.* "This can't be right.."
Rachael: "Lezard?" *She started to walk faster.*
Lezard: *He stepped into the courtyard and froze, glancing to each side in despair.* "I don't believe it."
Rachael: *She stopped next to Lezard and observed the area with him.* "What happened?"
Twortz: "You don't need me to tell you, that a great battle happened here once." *She staggered behind Rachael, having the opportunity to take deep relaxed breaths.*
Lezard: "This city once endured a great battle.." *He started to walk across the courtyard, talking in recollection.*
Twortz: *She heard the change of tone in footsteps, causing her to look down.* (Glass?)
Rachael: "It sounds interesting."
Lezard: "This used to be the city of Valhalla."
Rachael: "Valhalla?"
Twortz: "Like Norse mythology?"
Lezard: "Before the lands rose into the air, the city was then owned by their cousins-" *He walked up to a wall and touched a large glyph.* (Nothi
ng-)
Twortz: (In the air?) *She looked up and squinted her eyes, staring at the blue sky with distant white puffy clouds.*
Rachael: "Who were their cousins?"
Lezard: "The Elementalists."
Twortz: "..."
Lezard: *He started to walk towards castle-like ruin, causing Rachael and Twortz to follow.* "Some time later, this city was rebuilt by the amazing-"
Twortz: "How was this city rebuilt if I'm clearly looking at ruins?"
Lezard: "Exactly my current dilemma, Twortz."
Rachael: "It seems abandoned."
Lezard: *He touched a sigil-like glyph on the ruins.* (As I feared.. Nothing is responding.. Even to my Radiatons-)
Rachael: "So, besides the history, not that I understand any of it. What's your connection?"
Lezard: "One of the founders that helped build this city was my mother and father. It was later named, The Ruins of Estel."
Twortz: "So this city has different names?"
Lezard: "Glad you're keeping up."
Twortz: "..." *She frowned and watched Lezard walk further into the ruins.*
Lezard: "Dad?!" *He shouted out, glancing to each side.* "Father monster?!"
Rachael: "I don't like to assume, but looking at the damage to this city-"
Lezard: "Bwarharh, don't fret Razzypoo, my father can't be defeated so easily."
Rachael: (Lezard sounds very sure of himself.)
Twortz: "So, we spent all this time walking here, only to find ruins." *She placed her hands behind her back.*
Lezard: "Not everything I do revolves around you." *He spoke in a carefree manner, continuing to aimlessly glance around the city.*
?????: "People?"
*A little boy's voice caught Lezard, Twortz and Rachael's attention.*
Twortz: "Who the devil-?" *She waddled around and stared at a young boy in shock.*
Rachael: "Who are you?"
Lezard: "Wowza, what happened here, little monster-?"
Boy: "W-W-?" *He dropped a mouldy loaf of bread and staggered back, before suddenly running away.*
Rachael: "Wait!-"
Lezard: "We're not an enemy-" *He started to hobble after the boy.*
Twortz: *She took several steps forward and bent down, taking a deep breath.* "Stuff-, this-"
Rachael: *She hopped to the side, allowing her to glance at Twortz.* "Twortz?"
Twortz: "Go! He might know what happened!"
Rachael: *She nodded her head and started to run after Lezard and the boy.* (Now we're chasing a kid in a city full of ruin-)
Lezard: "Please wait. Have you seen a sensational man with a cone-shaped-?"
Rachael: *She easily caught up to Lezard, watching the boy run to a dead end.* "He can't move now-"
Boy: *He ran directly towards the dead end and started to sway his arms in a dancer-like manner, causing an aura made path to appear in front of him.* "L-Leave me alhone!"
*The boy squealed and started to run up the aura made path, causing it to slowly fade behind him.*
Lezard: *He quickly jumped up and missed the aura path as it faded out of his reach.* "Blast-"
Rachael: *She continued to sprint towards the boy.* "Rock Pillar." *She swayed her arm up, causing a small pillar of rock to erupt under her feet, blasting her up into the air.*
Boy: *He ran on top of a rock balcony and continued to run.* "Stahp!"
Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She landed on a rock wall and swayed her arms up, causing another eruption of rock to push her up onto the balcony.* (That was close-) "Stop!"
Boy: "How-?" *He glanced behind him in shock, as if he wasn't expecting Rachael to keep up.*
Rachael: "Lezard just wants to talk-"
Boy: *He started to skip, causing the surrounding area to respond to his movements.* (How is she keeping up!?)
Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She swayed her arms up, causing a small pillar of rock to shoot up in front of the boy.*
Boy: "Huh?" *He hit the rock pillar, causing him to stumble back with an emotionless face in shock.*
Rachael: *She slowed down to a slight jog.* "Are you-?"
Boy: "Whaaaa!" *He started to cry, causing Rachael to look shocked and confused.*
Rachael: "I-I... Didn't mean-"
Boy: "Weave me alhone!" *He cupped his nose and dropped to the ground, curling up into a ball.*
Rachael: "I didn't want to-"
?????: "Fufufu." *A woman chuckled behind Rachael, catching her attention.*
Rachael: "Who's-?" *She turned around, staring at a woman dressed in tight red and black leather.* "Hello?"
Woman: "Hello."
Rachael: "I'm Rachael, who are you?"
Woman: "I'm known as Synthoss."
Rachael: "What are you-?"
Boy: "She bad, bad!"
Rachael: *She glanced at the boy, causing her to cautiously move away from Synthoss.* "How can I help you?"
Synthoss: "I'm here for the child."
Rachael: "Why?"
Synthoss: "We're usually sent to double check villages after an annihilation."
Rachael: "Double check what?"
Synthoss: "Survivors, witnesses, etcetera. We are the people that keep order, that keep the Consultant's good image."
Rachael: "What has that got to do with this boy?"
Synthoss: "The child, he ran away like a pitiful coward, and allowed his friends and family to be captured."
Rachael: "If he doesn't want to go, you can't force him-"
Synthoss: "Judging by the clothes you're wearing-, fufufu. You must be new around here.. I don't ask, I tell."
Rachael: "Too bad. Where I'm from, you never have the right to tell anybody anything."
Synthoss: "Looks like we've run into a problem."
Boy: *He sniffed and looked up, shaking his head.* "Y-Yooh don't have to... Run, while you still can."
Rachael: *She raised her fists and stood in a battle-ready pose.* "If you never stick up for what you believe in, then you'll always get walked over-"
Synthoss: "Fufufu." *She suddenly leapt forward, landing in striking distance.*
Rachael: (She jumped towards me in one jump-)
Synthoss: "Tah!-" *She punched towards Rachael's face.*
Rachael: *She punched her arm down, blocking Synthoss' fist in a karate-like manner.* "Hah!" *She swayed to the side, punching towards Synthoss' jaw.*
Synthoss: "Terh!-" *She kicked off the wall to her side, dodging Rachael's punch.*
Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She punched to the side, causing a rock pillar to erupt up into Synthoss' leg.*
Synthoss: "Rostical?" *She stepped back and kicked the rock pillar, smashing it into pebbles.*
Rachael: (Whoa-)
Boy: (Remenistal? That didn't feel like Remenistal-?)
Synthoss: "Torh!" *She front flipped towards Rachael.*
Rachael: "Hehe-" *She jumped forward and slid on the ground, sweeping one foot to the side.*
Synthoss: *She front flipped in slow motion and stood on her hands, watching Rachael kick them.* "Tss-"
*Synthoss rolled to the side, causing Rachael to smirk in a victorious-like manner.*
Boy: (That girl is skilled-)
Synthoss: *She stood up and cracked her neck, placing one hand on a purple coloured whip on her thigh.*
Rachael: *She stood up straight and raised her fists, readying herself to fight.* "I've sparred with all sorts of weapons-"
Synthoss: *She quickly swayed her arm forward, causing the whip to slither past Rachael, smashing the balcony into the air.* "Fufufu."
Rachael: (A whip that explodes rock-?!) *She looked in front, watching Synthoss stare at her face to face.* "Wha-?"
Synthoss: *She suddenly kicked Rachael in the stomach, causing a loud bone to crack.* "Tarh!"
*Synthoss screamed in pain and stepped back, hopping on one foot.*
Rachael: *She looked shocked and touched her stomach, poking her finger into it.* "I didn't feel a thing-"
Boy: "Defence Up." *He
squealed in shock, focusing on a small blue sigil-like glyph underneath Rachael.*
Synthoss: *She glared at the boy, as if she was ready to hurt him.* "You dare use your art on me?!"
Rachael: *She had a flashback of Synthoss kicking her rock pillar into pebbles.* (That could've crushed my lungs if that hit me-)
Synthoss: *She faced the boy and snapped the whip in front, causing the boy to jump in fright.* "I'm impressed someone of your age is even able to connect their Astragons and Neurons together-"
