Well, folks, here's my new project. I've been planning it out for a while, and finally started writing things down. I really hope this goes well, although I honestly don't know if it will.
I'm going to try to have at least two chapters ahead done before posting one, so don't expect any sort of posting schedule. And I don't have a beta reader, so just inform me of any mistakes you see, grammar, continuity, or other, and I'll fix them.
Sorry for the short chapter, I don't know how to lengthen the prologue.
Hobey-ho
EDIT 7-28-17 i am finally going through and editing this entire story for story errors! yay! idk how long itll take but here we go!
not much done here but i made the ending a bit more understandable so yeah
"Watch out!"
Bobby pulled Kasha with all his might, trying to get her out of the growing hole in the flume without dropping her. The tunnel was shaking, huge chunks of rock falling dangerously close all around them. The flume was collapsing, all because Mark and Courtney had used it to travel. Bobby knew Uncle Press had been right when he told them not to mix the territories; now the flume on Eelong was falling apart and the territory was about to be cut off from the rest of Halla because of them. Granted, if he had listened, then Saint Dane would've won his second territory, but what was Bobby supposed to do? Let the territory die?
With one last tug, he pulled the heavy klee up and out. At that same moment, a boulder larger than the others fell right where her head had been. Bobby felt something cold trickle down his spine. It felt as if the entire world just shifted- as if something that was supposed to have happened one way had suddenly changed into something completely different. The feeling suddenly overwhelmed Bobby, leaving him dizzy and confused.
The ground lurched, interrupting his musings and throwing him off balance. Under his feet, the rock began to split again. Just before he would have fallen in, he felt Kasha push him towards the flume. He turned back, only to have to dodge an incoming falling rock. Dust obscured his vision, and he started coughing to try and clear his lungs. He heard someone shout "Zadaa!" over the din, and faintly heard the musical notes start up behind him. The dust cleared somewhat, and he realized he was alone on one side of a growing crack in the ground. His friends, Gunny, Spader, Kasha, and Boon, were stranded on the other side.
"We're stuck here, mate! Go on without us!" Spader shouted. Bobby wanted to protest, but the notes behind him grew louder. He felt himself being tugged towards the flume, and knew it was too late.
"I activated the flume already, just go!" Gunny yelled.
Bobby couldn't leave them. If he did, they'd be stuck on Eelong forever. "I can't-" he started. The tunnel shook again, and he nearly lost his balance. He looked up just in time to watch another chunk of rock dislodge itself from the ceiling directly above him. As a cry caught in his throat, he looked back towards his friends. Their horrified faces were the last thing he saw.
With a sickening crack, Bobby's world went black.
