CHAPTER 4-RANDOM STUFF
We spent another week in Dun Aria, (which was enough time for it to be fixed), having fun and relaxing from the events of the festival. To be nice, I spent a lot of time with Cy to compensate for me not being around her for a while. So we stayed together pretty much the entire week until the day I got ready to leave. On the day I left, Cyaia and I wake up early to see the sun rise and after it does, we just stand there for a while. Later as Brandon and I were about to leave, we were stopped by Matt.
“Where ya goin’?” Matt asks
“Somewhere,” I say
“Where?” Matt asks
“Nowhere,” Brandon replies
“If you’re going nowhere then I’m tagging along with you,” Matt says
“Whatever,” Brandon and I say in unison
So we all go out into the middle of nowhere for no reason at all.
“Why are we here?” Matt asks
“How should I know?” I reply
“Let’s go to Aquaisis, I know some people there that can help us,” Matt suggests
“Fine,” Brandon says
So now we’re actually on a road to the northeast in order to reach Aquaisis. After about a week we were bored.
“Are we there yet?” I ask
“No,” Matt replies
“Are we there yet?” I continue
“No,” Matt says irritated
“Are we there yet?” I continue
“No! So quit asking,” Matt says angrily
“Are we there yet?” Brandon asks
“Both of you just shut up!” Matt shouts
We keep walking until Brandon sees a huge dust cloud in the distance. The three of us just stand there as the dust cloud gets bigger as it comes to us.
“Help me!!!” says a male-sounding blur
“Get back here!!!” A girl riding a wavecycle shouts
“Hey! What’s going on?” I ask the girl
The girl stops and dismounts her wavecycle.
“Did you say something?” the girl asks
“I said, what are you doing?” I state
“As you can see, I’m chasing that werewolf,” the girl says
“Why?” Brandon asks
“Because I’m in love with him you idiot,” the girl answers, “now if you’ll excuse me, I have to catch him.”
“One last question,” I say
“Hurry,” the girl says impatiently
“Does he love you?” I ask
“Of course he does,” the girl says confidently
“If he loves you, then why is he running?” Brandon asks
The girl just sits there with a dumb look on her face as a cold breeze blows by.
“My name is Heather and the werewolf I’m chasing is named Kevin,” Heather says before driving away
“Okay, weird,” Brandon says
“The point of that was?” Matt asks
“No clue at all,” I reply
So we keep walking when Kevin comes out of nowhere.
“Hide me!!” Kevin says
“Why?” Matt asks
“I’m tired of running from Heather,” Kevin says
“What do you mean?” Brandon asks
“Hide now, questions later,” Kevin sys distressed
Brandon uses his ninjitsu to disguise Kevin as a tree as we see Heather coming back.
“Have you seen Kevin?” Heather asks
“Keep looking,” Matt says
Heather looks at us suspiciously before dismounting her wavecycle, and then she says,
“I think you’re lying to me, so I’m staying with you guys.”
“I don’t really care if you do,” I say
“WHAT!!!” Brandon and Matt shout
“If she wants to follow us she can, but she better be able to defend herself,” I say
Heather goes and leans on the Kevin tree. She seems disturbed by the tree and punches it, which turns into Kevin.
“There you are,” Heather says happily
“Why did you let her find me?” Kevin gasps
Then Kevin faints and we have to make camp. We do absolutely nothing until he wakes up, and then stuff happens.
“You’re up,” Heather says
“It’s you!” Kevin shouts
“Hilo,” I say
“WTF is hilo?” Matt asks
“Hilo, its like hello,” I explain
“Shut up Anthony,” Brandon says
“You said you would hide me!” Kevin complains
“I did hide you,” Brandon says “but you weren’t very good at hiding.”
“All you did was make me look like a tree,” Kevin says
“Right, I made you look like a tree, not act like one,” Brandon says
“There’s no point in even arguing with you,” Kevin says
“Damn straight,” Brandon states proudly
“Okay, well I’m-”
“Kevin, we know,” Matt says
“Duh, we all know that he’s Kevin, but who are you?” Heather asks
“Anthony,” I say
“Brandon,” Brandon says
“Matt,” Matt says
“Now with all the intros out of the way, why are you chasing Kevin?” Brandon asks
“Well,” Heather starts, “It was about ten years ago. Kevin and his family had just moved to my town. I liked him back then too, but it wasn’t as serious as it is now. Anyway, one day I was chasing Kevin and the sun went down. I had lost track of time and now both of us would get in trouble. When I finally did catch Kevin, I saw he was covered in blood. I tried to help him clean it, but he just snarled at me and ran away. When I told his parents, they didn’t seem surprised at all. They told me that Kevin had probably been attacked by the clan of werewolves that had been following them around the continent. So at that time I vowed to find Kevin no matter what the cost because of my love for him!”
“Now do you see why I was trying to get away?” Kevin asks
“Yep,” we say in unison
“Can I finish?” Heather asks
“Gomen,” I apologize
“Anyway, I searched for the next 81/2 years until I finally get word of Kevin. He had been so hard to find because he had changed his name. As a werewolf, Kevin somehow got the ability to control the wind, so I got a wavecycle to keep up with him. So I’ve been chasing him for the last year and a half all the way until now,” Heather finishes
“Dude, why are you running from her?” Brandon asks
“1: She’s crazy, and 2: I don’t know her,” Kevin answers
“What do you mean you don’t know me?!?” Heather shouts
“I DON’T KNOW YOU!!!!!!!” Kevin replies
“Why are you running from me?” Heather asks
“To tell the truth, I’m trying to do something and you’re getting in my way,” Kevin says
“As great as this conversation is, I’m bored so good night,” I say
“Wait,” Kevin says, “where are you going?”
“To Aquaisis,” I answer
“Then I’m coming too because I need to talk to the sages,” Kevin says
“Why are you going to Aquaisis?” Heather asks
“Brandon, fill them in,” I say
Brandon tells them the story as I sleep. Once again the dreams start. Nothing too serious, just the usual cannibalism, some stuff about Cy, nothing too weird. And then, he appeared. Twilight. He stood with his back to me, looking at the moon.
“Twilight, what is this?” I ask
“Ah, my pathetic host, how are you?” Twilight answers
“That’s not the answer I want,” I say, “now what do you want?”
“Nothing more than to talk,” Twilight replies
“About what?” I question
“Why about us of course,” Twilight replies slyly
“I don’t know what you mean, but I ain’t gay!” I shout
“Temper, temper, do you even know what I’m saying?” Twilight asks
“I just told you, I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!” I shout
“What I am referring to is that, even though we share the same body, it won’t be for long!” Twilight says evilly while materializing a sword
“What the hell!?” I say shocked
“Surprised?” Twilight asks, “you shouldn’t be. This is the part where you die!!!”
I was caught off guard as Twilight ran at me with great speed. I was weaponless, and it was hard to defend myself against Twilight’s attacks due to their swiftness and power. I was starting to give up and I was losing all hope, when I remembered all the promises I made to everyone, I realized that I couldn’t just give up yet. Just then, a bright light glowed in my right hand and Twilight’s sword appeared. As I looked at the blade, I expected it to be infused with darkness, yet the blade seemed to be strangely pure.
“What is this!?” Twilight shouts
“This is the power of light!” I say
In my left hand, the sword’s dark version forms.
“And this is the power of darkness!” I continue
As I stand with my blades, Twilight attacks again, and this time I go on offensive. As Twilight attacks me, I block his every swipe. As he starts fighting in anger, I throw him off and finish him with Twilight Wings. When the assault is done, Twilight can’t even move.
“As I have shown you, light and darkness can work together,” I say
“Your skills have become greater,” Twilight gasps, “I will allow you to retain control of this vessel a little longer, but to truly defeat me, you need to be much stronger.”
“Don’t worry about me, worry about yourself,” I say
“Don’t worry, I’ll still be here,” Twilight says, “just take this.”
Twilight throws me an egg and says,
“If you can master this beast, then maybe our final confrontation will be a little more interesting.”
“If it means you’ll die for good, then I’ll do anything!” I say
“Then our meeting is over for now,” Twilight says vanishing
As I wake up I wonder if all that stuff in my dream was reality or not. Then I look down and see the swords in my hands and the egg on my lap.
“That dream..... it seemed so real, but was it?” I ask
Later Matt and Brandon were bothering me about the egg.
“Where’d you get the egg?” Brandon asks
“From a dream,” I reply flatly
“What’s in it?” Brandon continues
“I don’t know,” I say
“When’s it gonna hatch?” Brandon asks
“When can we eat it?” Matt asks
“We don’t eat it, we hatch it,” I say annoyed
“How do we do that?” Matt asks
“Hey if that’s a dragon egg, then you should cook it,” Kevin says
“Why?” I ask
“It’s the only way it’ll hatch,” Kevin says
So we stop and cook the egg. After about ten minutes, it starts hatching and a dragon comes out. It has a normal dragon head, with spikes going down it’s semi-long neck. He had an air streamed body, a tail that looked like a flexible blade, had floating claws and feet, and his wings were jet wings.
“What’s his name?” Matt says
“Flareis,” I answer
“What kind of name is Flareis?” Brandon asks
“It’s my name,” I say pulling out a kunai
“Good name, Flareis has a nice ring to it,” Brandon says
So we kept going until we were attacked by bandits. I didn’t feel like fighting, so I say,
“I’m out of this one. You guys handle this, I’m going to sleep.”
I walk over to a tree and go to sleep. When I finally get to sleep(3 seconds flat), I have a dream that the bandits are attacking everybody. Matt killed his guy with ninjitsu, Brandon got a shotgun from Matt and shot 2 guys while saying “Pump Action”. Heather was throwing tarots to freeze her guy and then she picked him off with dual pistols, while Kevin cuts himself and splatters his blood on his enemies. He said “Blood Needles” and his flecks of blood turned into razor-sharp needles that skewered his people to death. Apparently, I had my own adversaries trying to kill me as I slept, but a 15 foot dragon showed up. He was orange, with blood red eyes. He had powerful fore and hind legs ending with deadly sharp claws. His wings were like razor-edged bat wings, and his tail was made of force-flex metal. I recognized this dragon, it was Flareis! He had gone through a major growth spurt to protect me. Flareis created a flame circle, and traced it with his tail and then he stabbed the ground. When he stabbed the ground, flaming spikes impaled the remainder of the bandits, and with a flap of his wings, Flareis created a flaming aerial shockwave that cuts all of the bandits into flaming hunks of bloody flesh. I immediately awoke from my dream to find that it had come true. As I fully wake up, I noticed that Kevin and Flareis(now small) were eating the bandit’s corpses.
“What are you doing?” I ask
“Eating corpses,” Kevin says, “force of habit.”
“Can I join?” I ask
“Feel free,” Kevin says
So the 3 of us ate the corpses, while Heather stood looking disgusted.
“You’re a cannibal?!” Heather asks me
“No, I just don’t like seeing good food go to waste,” I answer
“But you just ate a human!” Heather complains
“Survival technique: don’t waste a possible meal,” I state
“Still, it’s really gross,” Heather says
“Deal with it,” I say
“Fine,” Heather says
After the 3 of us clean up, we continue to Aquaisis. Heather kept bothering Kevin, Matt and Brandon conversed about ninjitsu, and I slowly started taking a walking lead away from them because they were giving me a headache. I was feeling tired until I heard a voice in my head.
“Hello Anthony,” a strange voice greets
“Who’s there?” I say searching
“It’s me, Flareis,” Flareis answers
“Sugoi, I have a talking dragon!” I cheer
“Okay I’m happy for you too, but right now I have something important to talk to you about,” Flareis says
“OK, shoot,” I say
“Anthony, I am your Aurasen,” Flareis says
“Aurasen? Sounds like a guardian angel or something,” I asks
“Close,” Flareis says, “aurasens are more like guardian beast spirits. We are directly linked to our charge through body and spirit.”
“So you’re me, but not me at the same time?” I ask
“Pretty much,” Flareis replies, “I’m also meant to help you with a great task.”
“Twilight?” I ask
“Twilight,” Flareis answers
“OK, anything else I should know?” I ask
“Yes,” Flareis answers, “when I grow, you can turn me into weapons and armor.”
“Sugoi!” I shout, “so meeting adjourned?”
“Hai,” Flareis says
So I get the others and we continue to Aquaisis. Later that day, we ran into a town and decided to stay there for the night. Heather bought us rooms at an inn and we had fun. Since there was nothing worth while to do, we just ran around until we got sleepy. The next day we set out and got nowhere. I couldn’t find Brandon, Matt was looking for a girlfriend, Heather was chasing Kevin again, and I had to spend all day getting them together so we could leave. By the time I had rounded all of them up, the sun was starting to set, and I was tired. I yelled at them to stop goofing off and we continued. We found a hot springs near dark, so we decided to camp there for the night. We all took a bath (with Matt and Brandon trying to get a peek at Heather), ate dinner, and went to bed. Once again, I was dreaming and it was of a beautiful woman. I was drawn to her as if by magic. She had long, flowing black hair. Her skin was light and smooth. Her body was the envy of all women, and the dream of all men. She radiated with a glow of superiority over all other women. I gazed in awe of her all night, only managing to ask two questions.
“What is your name?” I ask mystified
“May,” she answers
“Where can I find you?” I ask desperately
“I am in a castle, one day’s walk east from where you are now,” May answers, “if you truly wish to come, then I’ll be waiting.”
After May answered my questions, I woke up to the rising sun. I wondered if it was a dream or if she had really told me those things. There was only one way to find out: travel to the location of May’s castle. I don’t bother waking the others, I just run east looking for her castle. Like she said, it took one day for me to reach the castle but when I did I was overjoyed. May sent her servants to come get me and I gladly followed them to her. She was waiting in the banquet hall with a big feast spread over the table.
“I’ve been waiting,” May says
“So have I,” I reply, “I’ve been waiting to find a perfect woman like you.”
“Oh please, flattery will get you everywhere,” May says
“Please allow me to bask in your heavenly glow,” I say
“There’s time for that later, but for now rest and eat,” May says
Not wanting to anger my beauty, I did everything she said. I cleaned, cooked, washed, I did everything she told me and never once questioned why. Unknown to me was the knowledge that I had been possessed. My friends were coming to save me but they could figure out where I had gone, luckily they were able to follow Flareis.
Back to me now, I was tired from all the work but I didn’t complain. One night while I slept, some girl came to me in a dream. She wasn’t as beautiful as May, but she was still lovely to look at.
“Anthony,” the girl says
“Who are you?” I ask
“Is that any way to talk to your girlfriend?” she asks
“You’re not my girlfriend!” I say
“Anthony remember,” the girl says, “it’s me, Cyaia.”
“Cyaia?” I question
“You seriously forgot me!?” Cyaia asks
“I only know May,” I say
“Anthony! You must wake up, and if anything I say can’t wake you up then check your pocket,” Cyaia instructs
I look in my pocket and pull out dome kind of charm. I look at it really hard and all of my consciousness returns.
“Cy!” I shout hugging her
“You remembered,” Cyaia says
“What happened to me?” I ask
“May must have possessed you in your sleep,” Cyaia says
“Okay, then it’s time for me to end this game,” I say
“Just one more thing,” Cyaia says, “don’t forget me.”
“Promise,” I say waking up
I find my weapons and rush to May’s chambers where I hope to finish this. I bust through the door to find May sitting in a chair as if waiting for me.
“I’ve come to finish this May,” I declare
“Can you stop me?” May asks
Just as I pull out a hunting knife May is already in front of me and she knocks me back with a shockwave. Now I see how she became a general! She was mercilessly swift, her attacks almost too fast for me to block. Seeing I was no match, I shot off a fireball and jumped out a window. When I landed I pulled out the Twilight Blade and split it in two. Just as I do this May appears in front of me and I barely block her blast.
“Come, come, dear child, I would have thought that you were stronger than this,” May sneers
“It’s over!” I shout
Then I go into a furious combo and end up slashing at empty air due to May’s speed. I focus and sense May’s location, catching her in the face with the flat side of my dark blade. Then I use “Fire Sniper” to pin her down. Then I fuse the two blades together and cut off May’s head and burned her body. Then I burn down her castle just as the others arrive.
“Where were you?” Heather asks
“Long story,” I say, “let’s just go to Aquaisis.”
“Tell us,” Brandon says
“Nope!” I say as I run off
“Get back here!” Kevin shouts
So the guys chase me until I spill but that took a long time. Still, I can’t help but feel grateful to Cyaia.
