Luna: "..."
Rachael: "Do you need help?"
Luna: "Nah-" *She sniffed and pretended to be cool, taking a large step forward.* "Wha-?!"
Destiny: "Yeup?!" *She quickly hopped off Luna's shoulder.*
Karol: "Loonarh?!" *He squealed in fright.*
Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She let go of Karol's hand and jumped forward, punching upwards in an arch-like manner.*
*A rock pillar suddenly shot out of the cliff and caught Luna, as she stepped off the cliff instead of on the aura path.*
Rachael: "Phew..."
Luna: *She gasped in terror, placing all fours of the pillar Rachael created.* "I-I fucking missed?"
Rachael: "It doesn't make you any weaker to ask for help." *She spoke in a mature manner and walked over to the ledge, dropping to her knees.*
Destiny: "Yeu..." *She meowed, as if she was concerned.*
Rachael: *She tapped Luna's shoulder which caught her attention.* "And watch your language." *She pulled Luna back up onto the land and stood up straight.*
Karol: (She's amazing.. She whon't let anyfing bad happen to me.)
Luna: "My eyes.." *She observed the aura path, only seeing two faint lines from her sketch-like vision.* "I don't think I should cross this path by myself, aye."
Rachael: "Alright, you two."
Destiny: "Yeup." *She hopped back onto Luna's shoulder.*
Rachael: "You three, let's go." *She looked down the aura path, noticing the party clutter at the silver tornado.* "They're already there."
Luna: "Glad to see you got my back, aye." *She hissed at Destiny, causing her to purr in a sorrowful-like manner.*
Twortz: *She looked up, listening to the swirling motion the Silver Triplets made.* "What happens next?"
Trevour: *He took several steps closer to the Silver Triplets, alerting Lezard.* "Wow-"
Lezard: "Be careful, tinamotto!"
Twortz: (Tinamotto?)
Trevour: "W-What is it, sir?"
Lezard: "They've been cases of the wind blowing the Silver Triplets the wrong way, effectively slicing travellers off the path."
Trevour: "Roger!" *He spoke in understanding, carefully shuffling back.*
Nathan: (The highly condensed Astragons around them create an invisible blade-)
Lezard: "It's Lezard Esteed, allow me to enter!" *His voice caused the wind to noticeably change direction.*
Twortz: "Who are you talking to-?"
Nathan: *He watched the Silver Triplets move on their own accord, revealing a door sized entrance.* "It's just a stone wall?"
Lezard: "It's similar to Surpreon, if anyone's been there." *He giggled and stepped through the stone wall, causing it to ripple like water around him.*
Twortz: *He discreetly grunted with widening eyes.* (He walked through a solid wall?!)
Rachael: "Did he just-?" *She spoke in shock, as she stopped behind Twortz with Karol, Luna and Destiny.*
Twortz: "Indeed." *She prematurely answered Rachael's question, knowing what it would be.*
Nathan: *He placed one hand on the sword and adjusted it, ensuring it was in its sheathe correctly.* "It'll be busy in there, so don't make a fuss." *He mumbled and took a deep breath, before walking into the stone wall.*
Trevour: "Alright, I'll see you all on the other side, heh heh." *He chuckled and hobbled forward, causing the sounds of his rattling armour to fade with his image.*
Twortz: "We might finally get answers."
Luna: "'Bout findin' a way home?"
Rachael: "That's exactly right."
Luna: "Kool." *She spoke with growing hope, causing Destiny to purr in happiness.*
Karol: "So, you're from their werld tooh?"
Luna: "Obvi."
Twortz: "Enough chitchat." *She waddled forward and stepped through the solid wall, causing the rest of the party to follow.*
Rachael: (Here goes nothing-) *She nervously thought to herself and stepped forward, watching a bright light flash in her face.*
Chapter 8: Silver Wind Island
Rachael: *She stepped forward, blinking in disorientation.* "Are we-?" *She suddenly heard the lively sounds of a peaceful busy city.* (Sounds.. All around me-)
Lezard: "Welcome to-" *He faced the perplexed party and spread his arms with a widening smile.* "Silver Wind Island."
Trevour: *He looked down and stared at a dark brown stone ground with a contrasting colour.* "Is this a path or a road?"
Lezard: "Or perhaps a path acting as a road? Bwarharh."
*Groups of people walked up and down the large road-like path, causing Destiny to meow in an overwhelmed manner.*
Luna: "I know, girl. Too many people, aye." *She grunted on her breath, brushing her fingers through Destiny's fur.*
Rachael: *She looked up, noticing wooden and metallic bridges connecting one side of the upper level to the other.* "There's an upper level?"
Twortz: "There's another down here?" *She looked to the far left and stared at a set of stairs which led down to another enormous level of the city.*
Trevour: "It could be very easy to get lost in here, heh heh."
Karol: "This is just as bersy as my citee."
Rachael: "Busy."
Karol: "Bursy."
*Several ladies holding old-fashioned umbrellas bumped into Luna, causing her to frown in annoyance.*
Luna: "Watch it-" *She glared at the women, causing them to giggle in disgust.*
Destiny: "Hrrrrkst." *She hissed at the women for support.*
Nathan: "..." *He discreetly smirked at Luna, as if he respected the way she stuck up for herself.*
Lezard: "There're three levels of the city-" *He stepped to each side and observed different parts of the city, allowing the party to recognise them.*
Twortz: "Explain?"
Lezard: "The lower level is the industrial side of the city. It has workshops, marts, crafting workshops and the like."
Twortz: (Fascinating. I wonder what their trade market looks like.)
Trevour: *He looked past Lezard, noticing several booths containing fruit and loaves of bread.* "This level looks like the food markets-"
Nathan: *His stomach rumbled, causing him to look away.* (Now, I just gotta go to the castle and get some answers for Luna.)
Rachael: "And up there?" *She pointed up, watching people walk across the bridges.*
Lezard: "If memory serves me right, it should be the entertainment section."
Karol: "Like what?"
Lezard: "Nothing a youngster like you should have to worry about."
Karol: "B-But I'ma man."
Nathan: "Hmph." *He chuckled at Karol and started to walk down, staring at a large castle in the distance.*
Karol: "Neh?" *He looked confused, watching Nathan walk away.*
Rachael: "What's down there?"
Luna: *She looked down the road-like path with magnified vision, noticing the castle.* "It's a castle?"
Trevour: "And that must be the royal castle, home to Grey the fourth."
Lezard: "Bingo!"
Twortz: "This part of the city almost feels like another town."
Rachael: "Yeah." *She walked down the road-like path and glanced to each side, watching people sell foreign appearing foods to the citizens.*
Nathan: *His stomach growled again.* (Once I know she's safe, I'll do some quests in The Guild's Tavern and score myself a feast.)
Lezard: *He looked at Trevour and handed him several gold pebbles.* "Be a chubby muffin and collect us some crunchables?"
Trevour: "What, sir?"
Lezard: "You know, some yum-yums?" *He rubbed his belly as he titled his head to the closest food stand.*
Trevour: "Roger! Understood." *He unintentionally spoke in a military-like manner and tightened his grip around the pebbles, proudly walking towards the food stand.*
*Two men in racer-like tights caught Rachael's attention, as they power walked towards her.*
Rachael: *She watched the men closely avoid the nearby people and passed Rachael, allowing her to notice their excitement.*
Rachael: *She watched the men power walk past her, allowing her to notice their excitement.* (Is there a marathon coming up-?)
Man A: "The Agoura Marbles starts tomorrow."
Man B: "I'm very excited."
Man A: "I'm even more excited, now that we have an actual chance of winning."
Man B: "Na, that Rostical User always wins."
Man A: *He smirked, closely avoiding the passing citizens.* "The one with the water affinity that can manipulate the water in the blood?"
Man B: "Ye."
Man A: "Unfortunately, that person was killed by an accidental Scoldrant attack."
Man B: "R-Really?" *He gasped in disbelief, as he walked out of Rachael's sight.*
Rachael: "Lezard-"
Lezard: "Yes, my grillicious meat patty?"
Luna: "Pssht, wat the-?!" *She hissed in disgust.*
Twortz: "You either get used to it, or it doesn't bother you anymore." *She spoke on her breath, discreetly glancing at Lezard.*
Rachael: "What is the.. Agoura Marbles?"
Nathan: "The Agoura Marbles, it's one of the most famous sports across the two continents."
Karol: *He nodded his head.* "Several dancers participated in the gaimes."
Rachael: (Even Karol has heard of it-) "Could you tell me more about it please?"
Nathan: "It's a race."
Twortz: (How boring..)
Luna: "I'm pretty keen."
Rachael: "Those guys said there's a game tomorrow."
Nathan: "It wouldn't hurt to ask while we're there."
Lezard: "I'll cheer my besties on!" *He jumped up, pretending her was a cheerleader.*
Trevour: "Heh heh, I'd do my best to support my friends too." *He walked up to the party with a smile, holding ten kebab-like sticks in between each of his fingers.*
Karol: "Yhummie!"
Luna: *Her stomach growled.* "Wicked! Guess you ain't a complete loser after all." *She smirked and picked two kebabs.*
Trevour: "I could be your loser."
Luna: "Umm, no." *She purposely chomped on the kebab like a pig, causing Trevour to pull an awkward disgusted face.*
Nathan: "Much appreciated, bro."
Lezard: "Bro? Ooo! Could I be your bro too?!"
Nathan: "..." *He pinched a meat chunk with his teeth and slid it off the stick while staring at Lezard with an emotionless face.*
Lezard: "Okies, rain check on that, bwarharh."
Nathan: "...-"
Luna: "Oi, more about this race, aye!"
Destiny: "Reurp-" *She meowed in agreement, as she nibbled on the spare kebab in Luna's hand.*
Trevour: "It has to be more than a race-"
Twortz: *She chewed on her kebab, focusing her attention on to Trevour.* "Why do you say it like that?"
Trevour: *He handed the last kebab to Karol and leant back up, causing his armour to rattle.* "There have been times where even captain classed warriors were hired to attend the games."
Rachael: "Why?"
Trevour: "I'm not entirely sure, madam. Maybe for security?" *He shrugged his shoulders and walked down the road-like path with the party.*
Nathan: "From experience, some captains were hired for security, and the others for the match confrontations."
Rachael: "Confrontations?"
Nathan: "More like obstacles."
Lezard: *He heard the sounds of flapping material, drawing his attention to several flags which were stationed on the castle.* "Contestants are permitted to use Remenistal on other players-"
Nathan: "The last two to reach the end, fight. I like that part, it reminds me of Battling Oxident."
Twortz: "What do you get as the reward?"
Lezard: "Not that I hope you'll be entering-" *He looked up and down, as if he was judging Twortz's physique.*
Twortz: "Excuse me-?"
Lezard: "But it's a Purifying Oxident." *He purposely ignored Twortz, answering Rachael's question with a smile.*
Twortz: (Pathetically immature.)
Rachael: "What's that?"
Luna: "It obvi purifies somethin'." *She spoke with her mouth full.*
Trevour: "I'm not entirely sure what its properties are."
Lezard: "The Rosterology artefact is said to boosts one's Neurons and Astragons, also increasing longevity."
Rachael: "Totally cool. I want one." *She formed a fist, as if she was determined to win.*
Nathan: *He stopped and stood on grass, staring at the different coloured flags.* "We're here."
Luna: "Wat's on the flags? I can't see them properly."
Lezard: "They're the Remenistal glyphs of wind and water."
Rachael: "Why?"
Lezard: "I'm not too sure. It might have something to do with the royal bloodline?"
Twortz: "It is refreshing that you haven't described the area in a while-"
Lezard: *He quickly observed the castle and its surroundings.* "The delicious stone walls of the magnificent castle were slightly grey, eww, and so were large wooden pedestals, which circled around the exterior."
Trevour: "Heh heh." (What a very distinctive personality.)
Nathan: *He walked across the grass, making his way to the castle's large front doors.* "Huh?" *He stopped and noticed there was no handle on the door, causing him to touch it in confusion.*
Karol: "What's rr-wong?"
Nathan: "What's wrong, boy? I can't open the door-"
Lezard: "Here we go-" *He raised the pearl, causing the door to ripple like water.* "Now it's open."
Twortz: (The same pearl he used to access the transparent bridge.)
Nathan: *He touched the door, noticing his hand go through it.* "It's safe-" *He mumbled in a deep voice and stepped forward, entering the castle.*
Trevour: *He stepped to the side, waving his hand towards the door.* "Ladies and gentlemen."
