Heyooooo! It's been awhile. So firstly I have hit some rocks on my other two stories. Firstly, 'I Need A Hero', My haunting in Connecticut story is umm well. Kind of dead.*Badum tss* My story line I had planned hit holes. I also saw the movie Silent Night 2012. Eric J. Burg was in that. First time I seen him act in four years. I was put off when his girlfriend in the movie sucked his character's dick. Yeah. That just killed it for me. XD Now the Hocus Pocus one. I fear like many other stories I have in store...they may end up copying other stories I have read on accident so I may delete that altogether until I come up with another idea. I still like my werewolf idea but hardly know where I was going with it. Most of it would remain the same except there would be sister rivalry. See? That's it. Same plot but with that main spoiler I gave so no go there. This...this is different. I have never read a story on this and my OC will change the outcome of things. I also plan on doing a Walking Dead one. Whether it's the show or the game...I don't know but this shall be my main focus. This will mostly be based off the gameboy advance version as that's how I was introduced to the series. I will take tid bits from the other games if I have to since I don't know where my copy of the game is so I will be watching videos and going off of my own memory. Perhaps I'll buy Silver Star Complete for my PS1. But this will generally go off the games and my own memory. I've played it four times but the last time I played was four years ago so I may forget somethings. Maybe even purposely skip some things but this will be a long series. More than likely. The game is relatively long. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy. I have much hope for this! Let's go!
'How long has it been since I've been on an adventure? More than eight years I believe. These visions of Althena and the dragons fly passed my eyes like a picture book. What do they mean? Will I one day get the chance to find out? I MUST find out.'
"Opal!"
I snap out of my thoughts and almost fall out of the tree I'm sitting in.
"Stop day dreaming and get down from that tree! We need to practice! It's bad enough Alex is late!"
I start rubbing my head and growl in the aqua haired girl's direction.
"Yes, mother dearest."
I hop down and dust off my brown knee length pants and put on my white vest over my hunter green shirt. I watch Luna practice her singing and get a sneaky idea. I hop into the water of the spring that surrounds the stone platform she stands on and wait for the perfect moment.
"Opal, I said to..." She begins looking around and stomps her foot angrily. "Opal, where in Althena's great planet have you gone to?"
"Right here, my dearest." I jump out of the water and bring as much water with me as possible. I only managed to sprinkle her but I don't think she ended up soaked.
"Oh my goodness! What were you thinking!? You're soaked! You know what? Go home and change. You're not dancing in trousers, you're dancing in a dress so grab a decent and dry one to practice in. While you're at it, go find Alex! I bet he's at that gravestone again."
"There's a lot of gravestone's out there, Luna. Could you be more specific!"
"Dyne's!" she shouts in an agitated manner.
"Ok. Ok. I'll go get him!"
I wrench some water out of my silver colored hair and grab my brown sandals by the tree.
"I'll be back in ten minutes. Try not to miss me."
She ignores me and continues singing. I leave the spring and an angry Luna behind me. I start jogging to the house in an attempt to dry my clothes faster. When I make it to the house I immediately drop my clothes and shoes at the door. I run to my dresser completely bare and quickly put on clothes. Now I could lock my doors so no one barges into my house. Fortunately, Burg caught wind of what I did last week to the last intruder to come in without knocking on my door. Poor Ramus still has a lump on his head.
I walk out the house in a simple, white, two finger strap, dress that goes down past my shins. I hang my wet clothes to dry on the line and start walking to Dyne's gravestone. When I make it there I find my childhood friend kneeling infront of a gravestone with a white, winged cat like character sitting on his shoulder.
I walk in as I hear the winged creature say, "Oh!, Alex, don't you have singing practice with Luna?" I choose now to pipe in. "Yes, he does my friend. She's already tiffed that he's late. I may have made it worse. I was sent to change and fetch this dreamer here." I then poke the brown haired fello in the head. "Ow!" He holds his head and playfully glares at me.
"Oh you poor baby. Imagine what Luna is gonna do to you." I smirk at him and watch him scoff. "She's just gonna chew me out. That's all." I sigh and walk towards the gravestone. "You guys are no fun." I start looking over the gravestone when I hear Nall speak.
"Look! Here comes Ramus!" I turn around to see a tired and somewhat portly teenage gasping as he runs up the hill. "Hmm, and I thought me chasing him with a rolling pin was enough of a workout." Ramus slows to stop and bends down with his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. Alex crouches down to his height and asks, "What is so important that you had to run hear, Ramus? Luna sent you too?"
Ramus brushes his hair through his brown bowl cut hair and adjust his round glasses. "Actually, I have yet to get Luna. You see there's a wizar from Vane here! My father wants the villagers to head over to the statue of Althena."
I look at Ramus as if he's crazy. "As much as I'd like to think you're joking, I doubt you'd run just to tell us a joke. What on earth is a wizard from Vane doing here?"
Ramus looks at me. "I have no idea but as I said before, father wants us all to head to the statue of AlthenA."
Nalls smiles and says, "Cool! Let's go, guys!"
"Wait, so any chance you guys know where Luna is?"
I nod with a smile on my face. "She's probabley still singing at the spring waiting for us to arrive."
"Let's go then! I want to see this wizard!", Nall says excitedly.
We hurry over to to the springs where we hear Luna's singing.
"Now, I feel kind of bad for making her wait again. Let's hurry, guys." I nod in agreement and speed up my step. As we get closer Alex pulls out his ocarina and plays along to Luna's song. As he finishes she stands and faces him. "Alex, you're late again. Were you at Dyne's graveston?"
"Yes,...yes he was." I come skipping in with Ramus and Nall behind me.
"I actually didn't bring Alex for practice, though. Supposedly, Ramus claims there is a wizard from Vane at the statue of Althena."
Her eyes widen in surprise. "What?"
"C'mon Luna! Let's go!" Alex grabs her hand and pulls her along with him. They run off laughing together completely forgetting we were here.
I look at Nall and Ramus and face palm. "They actually left us. Let's hurry up and cat-" I then get ditched by Nall.
"Hey guys wait up for me!"
I look at Ramus and start walking. "You gonna ditch me too?"
"I don't feel like running anymore today.
"Too bad!"
"What?"
I grab a peice of wood from a nearby yard and chase him with it all the way to the heart of Burg village.
When we make it there Ramus is still screaming and runs into the crowd.
"She's going to pummel me alive! Help me!"
"Who is going to hurt you, villager? I, Nash Rumack, shall save you!" The young teen quickly fixes his hair and readies himself to fight.
"She is!" he then points where I was previously standing. Little did Ramus know I climbed up on top of a house and was watching from a nearby roof.
"Oh dear me, you are confused for I see no one there."
"That's because I'm up here!"
"Get down from there you barbarian!"
I hop off from the roof and walk towards the statue.
"What on earth were you thinking jumping from there!"says Nash.
I look up at the roof then shrug. "It looked easy? Now pardon me, 'Mister Wizard' but I doubt you were here to exchange pleasantries with 'barbarians'."
He huffs than looks toward the other villagers. "I have heard this is the birthplace of Dragonmaster Dyne. So I thought there would be someone who knows of his adventures."
I raise my hand. "I am quite familiar with his adventures."
Nash ignores me and looks around at others. "Anyone?"
"Oh! My son is quite knowledgable when it comes to Dyne!"
"So I was right! Then he shall guide me!"
"Guide you? Guide you where?"
"To the White Dragon Shrine in the Weird Woods, of course! Where I may take the trial of the White Dragon and become a Dragonmaster! Were it not me an elite magic Guildsman like myself would never venture to such a place!"
I scoff at his reply.
"You have something to say, barbarian?"
"I'm simply not surprised that you are not here for our festival to praise Althena. To which, my dear Ramus, you owe me fifty gold."
"What? NOOO!" Ramus yells and hides his money pouch.
Nash laughs with his nose in the air. "Oh, you country bumkins. Anyway, I shall be waiting for you at the town entrance. Do not keep me waiting."
When Nash walks off the people start clearing to do their mundane tasks. A few gave me dirty looks to which I rolled my eyes. I then say somewhat loudly to no one in particular. "Sorry I can't be nice to those who disrespect my village and it's people by calling them countrybumkins and barbarians!" I then begin walking over to the group. "I swear people are too fast to bend their knee to one in supposed higher standing."
Ramus joins the group and asks, "So what's the plan?"
Nall looks at Ramus and says, "Well this is Alex's big chance! He's always wanted to go on an adventure! The two of us are going of course!"
Luna butts in with a stern look. "Now hold on, even Alex hasn't been to the White Dragon Shrine! There's monsters and it's dangerous! We don't even have a map."
"I think I have a map of the Weird Woods!" Ramus chimes.
"And I sometimes go hunting in the Weird Woods so of course I'm tagging along." I say pulling out my hidden knife. I give a devious look in Ramus direction.
Nall finishes with, "AND we have that wizard guy that will be with us.
Luna looks at us like an angry mother. "You three are not helping."
I look at Luna with sincere eyes, "Luna, this is what Alex has been waiting for his whole life. It's the perfect chance. Plus, I myself feel I must do this."
"I can't stop you guys...so I'm coming along!"
"Great!...wait...how would you defend yourself? I mean that for all three of you."
Luna thinks quickly, "Ummm...I can use...a fry pan?"
"That surprisingly might work. We'll keep that idea open. The two of you...I hope you know how to use a blade."
Alex scratches his chin and blushes. "I know a little bit. I've been practicing for quite some time now."
"I'll have to test you guys. Anyway, you guys go get ready. Hit up the shop and get a dagger or short sword. Maybe one of each. Some potions would be great too." I start walking off.
"Where are you going?", Luna asks.
"Off to my house to get ready! Unlike you guys, I live alone!"
I walk to my house and see that my laundry is still wet. "Fantastic. I just HAD to got jump into the springs on a day like this." I look over to see a neighbor girl I often speak to out doing chores.
"Oi, Helen!"
"Oh! Hi, Opal!" she waves, "Some trouble you were giving that wizard, yes?"
"You know I don't go for the smuf types but anyway mind doing me a favor?"
"Sure thing! What can I do?"
"You see these clothes?" I point to the clothing rack. "I may not make it back home today so I don't want these sitting out over night. Mind holding on to them until I get back?"
"Oh! Sure thing, Opal! So, you excited for the festival?"
"Of course! I decided to do a new dance this year."
"What!? Really? You guys have been doing the same thing for years? Why change now?...Actually, I have to admit I'm excited that you have something new up your sleave."
"Yup, I can't spoil anything now but anyway I have to get ready so I'll talk to you later!"
"Goodluck on your journey!"
'I always like that woman. Her mom's a tart but that doesn't effect her. I should make them a pie for the festival.'
I walk inside my house and grab my rucksack. I pile in some potions, antidotes, and a change of clothes. 'Never know when I may decide to get another funny idea. I change out of my dress and put on my hunting wear. Basic clothing clad in black for hiding in the shadows.
'Hmm anything else that I need?' I look around and remember I may be out all night so I get some flint to light a fire.
'Never know if the cityboy may pass out and may not be able to light a fire himself.'
I grab final items I missed and head out to the village entrance. When I make it to the entrance I notice I'm the first to arrive. "Oh, great. I get to deal with you, city boy."
"Nice seeing you too, barbarian."
And that's chapter one folks! I had a good amount of fun writing this one! It all came so easily. I've never had such an easy time writing a story. I feel very confident. I hope it lasts. I've been working on this for twelve hours.(Procrastination and playing sims. xD) Really appreciate it if fans of the series let me know if they read this. I fear I may have made characters a bit OOC. I was watching the videos and the lines were so straight forward ther was hardly anything there so I had to add things. I may have made Luna seem like a bitch sooooo. If anything the OC is. I didn't give much description of the characters because I honstley skip that bit when I'm reading a story if it's too long. xD I'll add bit by bit through out the chapters. For the record, though. I'm willing to say the OC's hair color is silver. She also has pale white skin. I just started writing this today so I'm still coming up with how my character should look as it does matter on future chapters. Anyway I'm out. I'm getting sleepy. Hope we can actually finish this story! :) Oh and final thing. I used word pad to type this so I'll have to read over this again. I'm pretty sure I made typos. xD I always do. :(
