Story (Krissy#7)

Allistar

There was so much to learn from this new world. They had some sort of fishing boat that allowed them to catch baby Krakens and they named it Oka-puse. Strange Allistar thought. He looked at his own metal framed watch on his hand. Around Four o'clock. It was getting late and the Wise guardian Faramond was beginning to become impatient.The four remaining heroes weren't there yet, and Allistar wondered if they had to be RESTRAINED? or FOUGHT? He was beginning to worry himself. What actually took that long to  bring them to this world. Pomegranate and Stormie were becoming restless and were led by the butler to the stables which just around the corner from the castle itself.
"Have you heard of spider man?" Icarus asked.
" So in your world, you eat baby Krakens, and HAVE SPIDER MEN?" Allistars eyes widened. "After the quest i must see your village"
Icarus sighed and pulled out his iPhone and started to play games.
"Whats that" Allistar stared with interest... it was a flat screen and he could move it with his touch... this could only mean one thing. "SORCERY!!!" he shouted as he tackled Icarus for his peculiar device.
"HEY I'M ONLY PLAYING ANGRY BIRDS" Icarus shouted trying to push the weight of a 23 year old man off him.
"That.. thing! IT IS SORCERY! A LOVE SPELL!! ENCHANTING YOU TO PLAY IT FOREVER" Allistar pointed it with a strong believer like facial expression.
"I thought you weren't rich enough" Kai said.
"No , i sorta found it."
"Or did it find you" said Allistar all mystical and witch like. It kinda looked a bit funny but you could see in his eyes he wasn't joking.
"Do you like hate mages or something"
"Of course, they are all corrupt"
"Not all of them i mean some are nice"
"SOME?"
"Yeah."
"Well i was once shot with an electric like prod from my maids finger" Allistar said defiantly.
"It was probably static"
"What is static..." asked Allistar. The things these people knew were so advanced.
"Oh my god.Medieval times sure was one of the most clueless time" Icarus sighed
"You Christian too?"
"No but ill teach you about evolution" Kai said. She looked rather eager to explain her knowledge.
"Evolution? Interesting, go on kiddo"
Kai began to teach Allistar about evolution, it seemed much more realistic than his Christianity belief. Except for one thing. We came to be from monkeys.
"So god changed us from monkeys?"
"No evolution did"
"How can evolution just do this"
"I'm not a scientist"
"Whats a scie-"
"Oh hell..."
After heaps of explaining from both Kai and Icarus, Allistar and Scarlette have learnt far more things. Things such as what a spider man is, what a scientist was, iPhone is a communication device and not sorcery,Evolution and one of Allistars favourites, baby Kraken were called Oka-puse.
Allistar was keen to tell them what he knew, but Icarus said he already read what medieval times people did at his school.
"You guys chop of peoples body parts in order to save them from fever" he said.
"Yes, in order to get rid of the devil" explained Allistar
"But the person dies"
"They die because the devil has already corrupted them and god decides to end their life"
"Remember what Kai taught you about evolution?" Icarus said.
"Yes but god is still a big part of me and you weren't there to see the Monkeys become us lad"
"I know but its a pretty good theory"
"Wha-"
"-and before you ask let me explain what a theory is"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was getting late, Icarus seemed rather tired and out of breath from explaining. The heroes were now in a sort of small living room with bean bags and cushions of all sizes.These were piled up in front of the little fire place.The living room had doors all around it that led to their rooms and bathrooms. Two rooms, each for four people. The butler had said who's bed was who's. The princess was rich and had each given them a king sized double bed to return to after an exhausting day of eating oka-puse and learning about each others life-styles and beliefs. Allistar was tired and he saw his sister had already changed into her new lace night dress and had fallen asleep to the bed on his left. He sat up in the soft mattress wondering what to do. Icarus was on the right and was reading with strange things in front of his eyes.
Allistar stared at the things that seemed to be made of glass in front of his eyes. Icarus must had sensed a question coming because he quickly replied.
"Their glasses, my people use them to read"
"A cure to blindness, facinating"
"Not a cure just something to assist"
"Lad , I've never learnt so much in my life."
"Goodnight Allistar" Icarus said in a rather tired voice.
"Jolly night lad"
 The lights went off. There was a small squeal as Allistar quickly re-lit his bedside candle to see what was happening. It had appeared Kai had a night mare and was being comforted by Icarus.
"Is she alright?" Allistar asked.
"I'm not sure, she wont tell me what its about, probably just missing her home"
Scarlette had walked over and sat on a side of Icarus's bed.
"Whats wrong?" Scarlette whispered.
Kai was murmuring something strange as she sat on Icarus's lap. Then she fell asleep overwhelmed by some sort of stress.
"Well we all better get some sleep, tomorrow were going to meet the rest of the heroes" Scarlette said. still rather concerned for Kai.Everyone went back to their beds to sleep, except for Kai who stayed next to Icarus for comfort. There was something about Kai's bed that wasn't right. Allistar was beginning to think a witch had cursed her bed but remembered not all strange events were because of sorcery. He went back to sleep hoping nothing was wrong.

Kai Tyrathem and Icarus Johnson

Kai rather enjoyed the octopus. It was something that she had often back at home. In fact, she had tasted almost every seafood dish in her own world. Granted the octopus was prepared and cooked rather differently than was she was used to, it was adequate. She ate all that was on her plate but she ate slowly, much unlike Icarus, Allistar and Scarlette. Her master had told her that it was unhealthy to each too much food and one must learn discipline to learn the techniques of the blade.

Icarus raised his eyebrows at Kai’s rather small appetite. He decided not to push her to eat but he wondered what she was thinking about. Trying to push his mind away from that subject, he turned back to Allistar. What on earth did this person know about? Coming from different times was difficult. Allistar probably didn’t know who Spiderman was or why people wore school uniforms. He sighed. He was feeling a little homesick – missing his friends, his own cooked meals (mostly consisting of instant noodles) and the suburban streets he had taken for granted. Then again… this place had adventure and that was something he needed dearly.

As they continued eating, more dishes were brought out and it seemed as though there was a never ending cascade of food. There was so much food piling up (although Allistar seemed to clear it at the same rate as it was being brought out) that the four almost didn’t notice two others entering the room.

Maylene Salavian and Tobias Richards

 

Maylene cleared her throat, attempting to get the attention of the Heroes at the table. She knew that their journey had been tiring and long but being the First Princess of Syania, it was her duty to look after them. Her father had already sent Kato to attend to them but she still felt that obligation. Tobi who stood next to her, winked in encouragement. She blushed. He banged his K’rik onto the dining table and yelled, “Oi. Listen to her highness when she wants to talk, alright you runts?”

Tobi grinned at Maylene but she looked less than pleased. “Ahem. Well, you Heroes probably don’t know this but I am Syania’s First Princess and it is my job to handle affairs such as this. My father is away on business trying to sort this catastrophe out and well, I am the one who’s left. I can see you’ve already met my little sister – the Second Syanian Princess.” she said, motioning to her sister who sat at the end of the dining table.

Tobi sighed. She was as formal as always. Couldn’t she loosen up a bit? It was bad for a teenager like her to be so uptight. “To get to the main topic, I’m guessing the Elders were as elusive as always when they tried to explain the situation to you, yes?” she asked them.

They nodded and she continued. “It would be redundant to tell you all the details but I have an obligation to tell you what is going on. A long story short – you will be fighting in a war for the sake of all the worlds that exist and all they contain. A powerful book was stolen and if the powers of this book are used for the powers of evil, everything would destruct and turn to nothing. This is not only a problem in Syania, but a problem everywhere. You and another four were chosen to fight. That is enough for now. I bid you farewell and I’ll leave you in the hands of my trusted friend and butler Auvray, as well as my younger sister, Monika.”

With that, Maylene quickly left the room.

Toby honestly didn’t know what to do with her. She used to be that carefree little girl and now she had turned into… an old uptight grandma. He wanted to help her but he didn’t know what to do. All he could do for now was watch over her and make sure she overstress. “Wait up May!” he called before also exiting.

Scarlette and Allistar

" A Butler" Scarlette gasped. How wonderful,it almost reminded her of home. She remembered the scattering of slaves around the castle , in their plain white clothes. She grabbed the bell off Allistar's hand and shook it. Immediately the butler came.
"Could i get lunch, I'm hungry"
"Indeed, please come this way"
As Scarlette followed him she realised Allistar, Kai and Icarus were following too. Clutching their stomachs like hungry beggars, except with nice clothes.

The butler led them into a magnificent room with eight glistening chandeliers and a long wooden table that was finely cut and glazed. A short stubby little girl around the age of 9 greeted/screeched to them. She wasn't sure which, but the kid said something. It sounded a bit like a agitated parrot with a brain tumour.
"WEEELLLLLLLL-come HEEEEEEEEEEE-roes" the young girl screeched.
Kai and Icarus stared at each other covering their ears.
"Blimey, ain't she a screechy one" Allistar commented as they sat on the eight seated table. Kai and Icarus on one side, Allistar and Scarlette on the opposite side. The young girl sat on the short side of the long rectangular table and start screeching a few noises to the cooks. They came out with a huge bowl of... some sort of sea creature.
"Octopus?" Icarus said.
"MOTHER OF MARY ITS A KRACKEN'S BABY!" Allistars eyes widened in fear.
"No you silly, its an octopus" Icarus replied. "I keep forgetting we are all from different times"
"So you call this...Oka-puse" Allistar said uneasily.
Icarus started to laugh "Yeahs. What ever your comfortable with"

They began to eat this... Octopus. Especially Allistar who ate more then what he should have. He ended up being bloated, and he snapped one of the legs off the expensive dining room chairs he was sitting on.
"Ah well theyll just have to repair it" The butler sighed.
"Can i get more Oka-puse?" Allistar asked.

Kato Auvray

Kato fixed his gloves and withdrew a deep breath. The Council of Elders had relieved him from his duty of serving the princess. They had instead, assigned him to the new Heroes that had just arrived. There were only four Heroes so far, but he would be supervising all of them. To be honest, he was a little sad. He had known the princess all his life and they were close friends. But because of the theft of the third Tome, he knew he was at no place to complain.

Kato pushed open the glistening doors (which he had cleaned a little before the arrival of the Heroes) of one of the many reception rooms. The Heroes were quite young – two around his age and another two were much younger. The younger boy appeared to be smiling and he hoped they were getting along well. It would make his job much easier. The four seemed to be surprised by his sudden entrance and he gave them a warm smile.

“Good day Heroes. I am Auvray and I am your supervisor as well as your butler. It is a pleasure to be in your service.” Kato said, performing a little bow. He made sure to keep his emotions in check and to also have a kind smile on his face. To look hostile to the powerful Heroes would to be wishing for death. He noticed the youngest girl in the room seemed to be injured. What had happened while he was off bidding his farewells to his previous master? “Please allow me to help you madam.” he suggested, offering his arm. The girl turned away. He did not protest. Instead, he turned to the eldest of them all (a tall man who seemed to be a little older than him) and gave him a bell. “If you ever need me, please ring the bell. Please do not be worried that I won’t be able to hear you. Even if you’re in another world, I will come to you.” he said with a small smile. Exiting the room, he thought he did rather well.

Necrophyles - Evan Malice
                               
Evan stood in the centre of  his shadow like castle, reading a recent letter from his master. "What is this, master has commanded me to get rid of two children and young adults?" he stared. Evan had military experience, and he knew that his necromancers were to young to fight just yet, he needed some bombs to ignite the castle door before his necromancers to get in, and who better then the Carnevale' to assist him on this mission. But first, he'd have to target the Heroes weaknesses.

Story (Claire #4)

Kai Tyrathem and Icarus Johnson

Kai managed to drag her body back to Icarus before falling limply to the ground. Not only did his strings seem to control her, but they also seemed to drain her energy. What on earth was he? He smiled at her like an innocent teenage boy. He was definitely hiding an immense amount of power though. As he and the other male in the room started chatting, she realised that she hadn’t really had a chance to look at the others in the room. Icarus had light and tousled brown hair which seemed to stick out in every direction. His eyes were a bright crimson and his skin was quite pale. The man had dark hair and dark eyes. His hair stuck up in a weird way that reminded her of the chickens back at home. The girl also had dark hair, but her eyes were a blood red. They all looked different.

Icarus exchanged pleasantries and small talk with the other man in the room. It was true – he was quite good at sewing and knitting but he only did it because he wasn’t that rich. He lived on bare necessities but since his school required a uniform, he just copied it and made one himself. It wasn’t exactly a hobby for him or anything. “Anyway, I suppose we should introduce ourselves seeing as we’ll be together, I’m guessing, a lot often now.” he smiled.

“My name is Icarus Johnson. Pleased to meet you.”

Kai who had managed to crawl back over to him remained silent. He gave her a small nudge and an encouraging smile. He bent down. “C’mon Kai… listen… I’m sorry about doing that stuff to you before but it won’t benefit you if you fight.”

She turned her head away but muttered, “Kai.”

He sighed. It wasn’t much of an introduction but it was something. He guessed that she would be angry at him anyway.

Kai was angry at herself. She knew that she should be the one to apologise to Icarus since he was only trying to stop her for the sake of herself and yet she had gone on a killing rampage. If she wanted to get home, she would have to be polite and nice. At this point, those elderly men would hate her and would never let her get what she wanted. She gritted her teeth. She would try to be… friendly. “That is… I’m Kai Tyrathem, daughter of Lucian Tyrathem.”
