Sceldrant's Comet

by Michael Rogers

  Twortz: "That's entirely up to you."

  Kath: *She turned around, watching eight captains flashstep in a line in front of her.* "Captains!"

  Captains: "Ma'am!" *They spoke at the same time in a military-like fashion.*

  Kath: "I'd like to welcome Twortz to the team!"

  Twortz: (Just as I planned.) *She smiled to herself and glanced at the captains.* "Where's PKMY?! She's not here?!" *She whispered to herself in disbelief.*

  Kath: "Number four."

  Sofia: *She stood up straight.* "Ma'am."

  Kath: "Go help our new number two clean herself up."

  Sofia: "Of course." *She smirked evil-like and stepped forward, flashstepping beside Twortz.*

  Twortz: "Who-?"

  Sofia: "Shh." *She grabbed Twortz and flashstepped.*

  ----------

  Keeper: *She glanced across the tavern, looking at the man in confusion.* "What's the problem?"

  Man: *He stood by the tavern's door, taking quick, excited breaths.* "One of the top four guilds have made it back from their S classed mission."

  Keeper: *She stopped cleaning a cup and looked at the man intrigued.* "Who? I'm not expecting one of the top four to be here now?"

  Man: "The Seraphic Sunders."

  Keeper: (Skyward and Hayward-?)

  Skyward: *He staggered into the tavern, covered in blood.* "I-It's strong!"

  Rachael: "Whoa-" *She hopped off the bench and ran up to Skyward.* "What happened?"

  Hayward: *She walked into the tavern, holding her blood covered arm.* "We were fighting an Astragon Projection."

  Rachael: "An Astragon Projection?"

  Lezard: *He bent down and spread his arms over Skyward, causing his wounds to slowly heal.* "Don't worry, I'll tell you later."

  Rachael: "Thanks."

  Keeper: "You two never had this trouble before? Did you let go of each other's hands?"

  Hayward: "No.. He knew Moonlight Reflection-"

  Skyward: "And he seemed to have no restrictions using it."

  Nathan: "What was the mission?"

  Hayward: "To eliminate the Astragon Projection that continues to haunt passing travellers near The Elemental Tower."

  Nathan: "Well-" *He stood up with an excited smile, causing the guild to slowly follow him.* "Everyone thinking what I'm thinking?"

  Lezard: "Muffins with cranberry sauce?"

  Luna: "Let's kick this Astragong Projector." *She smirked with a confident frown.*

  Trevour: "Astragon Projection, madam-"

  Luna: "Wateva."

  Destiny: "Yeup."

  Lezard: (Done.) *He stood up, causing Skyward to look shocked.*

  Skyward: (H-Healed?!)

  Rachael: "Alright!"

  Karol: "Don't worry, evewyone! The Rostical Guild has got this!" *He announced to everyone in the tavern, causing the different guilds to look at him.*

  Nathan: "Yeah!"

  Luna: "Aha, yea." *She grunted in agreement.*

  Destiny: "Yeup!"

  Rachael: *She smiled, forming a fist.* "The Elemental Tower, where's that?"

  Trevour: "This way." *He smiled and hobbled forward, causing his armour to rattle.*

  Keeper: *She watched the guild suddenly run out of the tavern, causing her to look confused.* (They better not die.. I actually like hearing some of their strange conversations.)

  ----------

  *Twortz and Sofia flashstepped into a large stone room with everything painted different shades of silver.*

  Sofia: "Here are your new clothes." *She nudged her head towards a rack of platinum coloured armour.*

  Twortz: *She took a deep breath and suddenly looked uncomfortable, gently touching her arm.* "What-?"

  Sofia: "The Rasticplash of being pulled into a flashstep. Get used to it."

  Twortz: "That is no way to speak to your superior."

  Sofia: "Hahehahe." *She laughed in a condescending-like manner.* "What a feat you pulled."

  Twortz: "She had it coming. Are you going to judge me?"

  Sofia: "Judge? No. I did the same thing."

  Twortz: "By joining the captains?"

  Sofia: "I was already a captain. I killed two others to gain my seat. One was Kieran and.. I can't seem to remember the other?" *She looked up, placing her finger on her lips in thought.*

  Twortz: *She shook her head, as if she didn't care.* "Where is PKMY?"

  Sofia: "Pee-Kay-Who?"

  Twortz: "She's a captain, short red hair."

  Sofia: "Oh! PKMY.. Yes, she recently ran away from the warriors."

  Twortz: "But, this couldn't have been more than two years ago!"

  Sofia: "Ya ha. Don't worry, we're trying to find her whereabouts."

  Twortz: (So, she's still out there?!) *She frowned in thought.* (I will kill you, PKMY.)

  ----------

  Madora: *She looked up and noticed two streams of white light blast out of a pool of aurora coloured lights in the sky.* "The people from Earth... The prophecy has just been set into motion."

  ?????: "Hoh?"

  Madora: *She hobbled to the side and smiled at a woman with long curly blonde hair.* "You are to accompany the man that holds the prophecy."

  ?????: "What am I to do once completing such a trivial objective?" *She looked at Madora with an emotionless face, speaking in a monotone.*

  Madora: "Terra, there is nothing trivial about prophecies."

  Terra: "I am now known as Teresa."

  Madora: "Oh deary, whatever you call yourself. You're still just a beautiful little girl in my eyes-"

  Teresa: "I do not see how this current conversation reflects the importance of such prophecies."

  Madora: "O-Oh-"

  Teresa: "Inform me of my duties and I shall be on my way."

  Madora: "Ensure Lance Lighten is not harmed."

  Teresa: "Hoh?"

  Madora: "This is a dangerous place to be in for an Outsider."

  Teresa: "I do not follow."

  Madora: "This man, he is not from this world."

  Teresa: ".. Inconceivable."

  Madora: "Like you, I don't have a reason to lie."

  Teresa: "..."

  Madora: "If he tells you this. Believe him, but don't make it a fuss."

  Teresa: "I see."

  Madora: "That is all I ask."

  Teresa: "Of course." *She stepped forward, readying herself to leave.* "What is his prophecy?"

  Madora: "Unfortunately, I cannot speak of it."

  Teresa: "Tcch. I understand."

  Madora: (Judging by the access point of those Aurorions-) "He is currently near The Frozen Backwater Village."

  Teresa: "That is all I needed to know." *She spoke with a disappearing image, leaving behind a swirl of grass.*

  Madora: (She's just as fast as her mother..) *She chuckled and slowly turned around, facing a door sized warp in the air.* "Without emotions, she doesn't question anything as far-fetched as another world."

  *Madora slowly hobbled into the warped air, causing her image to fade into nothing.*

  Madora: "The Unknown Territories, stopping the Consultant.. Best of luck, everyone."

  ----------

  Lance: *He woke up with a throbbing headache and blurred vision.* "A-Arh-" *He shook his head and blinked several times, causing his vision to return to normal.*

  *Lance found himself in a large circular dirt clearing, surrounded by thick trees.*

  Lance: *He leant up and looked around at the scenery.* "Where-?" *He noticed Ashton, who lay unconscious on the dirt ground.*

  *The thick trees drained the sunlight above, creating an eerie-like appearance.*

  Lance: *He hovered over Ashton and started to rock him back and forth.* "Hey-"

  Ashton: "..." *He moaned and remained motionless.*

  Lance: "H-Hey, Ashton, wake up." *He nervously slapped him on the cheek, as he tried to wake him up.* "Come on, wake up, Ash-"

  Ashton: *He slowly opened his eyes and appeared disoriented.* "Argh-"

  La
nce: *He leant back and sighed with relief.* "Phew, how ya feelin'?"

  Ashton: "My head hurts-" *He groaned and spoke softly.*

  *The dirt path was surrounded by thick trees, resulting in a linear-like trail.*

  Ashton: *He leant up and coughed.* "Where are we? In a park?"

  Lance: *He looked down the path and noticed it forked at the end.* "I don't know."

  Ashton: "How long have we been out for?" *He held his head and looked around with confusion.*

  Michael: "Good flaming gravy, you made it! Thank you very much for reading! Without you, our heroes wouldn't have the incentive to continue on with their adventure! I hope you continue on and join us on the next part of The Rostical Guild!"

  *Michael giggled and continued to type with a widening smile.*

  Michael: "If you thought this was a delicious adventure, or Neurons forbid, a poopy story, please give us a rating and review, it'll help others find our adventure! And.. Thank you again!"

  *Michael stopped typing and glanced at the screen, picturing looking at you, yes you! The reader.*

  Michael: "That was a delicious ending, right? Any questions, feel free to send me an email. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter! I find any feedback scrumptious and I will always reply back.

  Hope to hear from you, little silly sausage! And I-, no! We hope to see you on the next adventure!"
