The Rostical Guild - Sceldrant's Comet

  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-"
