Chapter 1
"Whaaa!! Oof! Ow,... man! I hate it when that happens!" As the portal closes behind her, a tall girl gets up from the ground and glares at the diminishing circle. "Stupid portal. I hate it when they just dump you on the ground. Ah, oh well. At least I'm here in one piece." muttering "Wherever here is..." She looks at her watch, long strands of her almost silvery, light-blonde hair falling in her face. "sigh... Aw, well. Let's just find an inhabited area...town...and get some supplies." she talks to herself a lot She picks up her backpack, double-checks everything on her is in place, and heads off on a promising path.
An hour later, she wandered into a town, exhausted from hiking up a small mountain when the road was blocked from a mudslide. She headed towards an inn, feeling uncomfortable under the stares from the townsfolk. She went into the inn and stood nervously by the counter as the front-desk-man, who was fairly young, looked her over to see if she seemed like a trouble-maker.
She seems ok, he thought looking her up and down, quite outlandish, but... man, she's got a killer bod! yes, young men of whatever-this-world-is think just like many of the young guys here. He stared at her "outlandish" clothes: a long, long-sleeved tunic that seemed to change colors as he looked at it, a pair of long bell-bottom-like flare pants the color of soft sand found on holy beaches with lots of pockets, with a belt made of some kind of metal that shone in the dim light, a large multicolored backpack bulging with unknown contents, a pair of extremely dark sunglasses so he can't see her eyes, ...Strange, he wondered, Wonder why she doesn't want anyone to see her eyes?... ;super-long silvery light-blonde and other shades of blonde (including strange darker, almost colored parts) highlighted hair wrapped in the same sort of color-changing material as her shirt, steel-toed and -soled shoes with rainbow colored diamond-shapes on the sides, and a fingerless glove on her right hand and a fingered glove on her left, both going up to her elbows at least.
"So," he asked, "how may I help you?"
"Well, I would like to rent a room for a while...What currency do you use?"
That surprised him. "Uh...kunts. Why do you ask?" 1 kunt about $3.25
"Ok..." She dug around in one of her pockets for a while, then pulled a bulging bag that clinked. She reached her gloved left hand in and pulled out a pile of coins, dumping them onto the counter. "Will these be enough?"
His eyes bugled. He stared at her at what was almost awe. "How-how did you get this money?"
She frowned. "What do you mean? Isn't this the right money?"
"Yes, " he said guardedly, "but that's more money than I've ever seen in one place...except in the royal treasury."
She raised her eyebrow. "And when have you been in the royal treasury?"
He looked around nervously, obviously uncomfortable. Then he leaned toward her and said, "I'll tell you when we get to your room and you can tell me what your here for."
"Deal," she replied.
Later, in the empire suite, the boy was setting down her bags when he felt a strange, almost a... humming, or a buzzing, in the back of his mind. He turned around, wondering what the heck it was that was doing it-and saw the girl's hands glowing as she paced around the room. He backed up, beginning to panic. She noticed.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?" She stepped towards him, her hands still glowing. The buzzing in his head increased almost to a painful point.
"GAH!! STOP IT!!! THAT HURTS!!" he yelled at her, clutching his head and backing away.
"What-? Oh, " understanding dawned on her face. "Can you feel a sort of buzzing in your mind right now?" she asked him, the glowing on her hand slowly subsiding.
"Yes," he replied, wincing.
"Interesting, " she murmured to herself. "That means you can sense magic, especially when in use. Very interesting..."
"What is very interesting?" he asked, genuinely curious now.
"That you can sense magic."
"What?! I can do WHAT?!"
"Shh, calm down," she soothed him, sitting both of them down on the huge bed. "I think it's time to explain ourselves. I'll go first: My name is Britt, and I'm a traveler..."
"But not any traveler. . . " Britt said. " I am on a journey for three reasons. #1) I am look for the D. . ." But she got cut off by a big BOOM!
"What was that?" Britt exclaimed.
"The village square!" He pointed as they rushed out side.
"AGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!" Cried the villagers fleeing for their life. When he and Britt got to the commotion, they saw a two tailed grey wolf with white wings and two red gashes on its back and on its right cheek. Britt saw and realized who this was as soon as she saw the 6 sided ruby pendant and the way it didn't attack the army pummeling at the force-feild surrounding it.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" screamed Britt as she rushed forward to protect the strange wolf.
"Get out of the way, girl!" the wolf said with out using its mouth but everyone could hear it.
"IT CAN TALK! RETREATED BOYS!" cried the general, already fleeing for his life.
"WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!!" cried the wolf angrily but sad at the same time.
"Its okay," said Britt soothingly.
"Why did you try to protect me like that? Usually people think I am a Deamon and run away," said the wolf confused.
"Weeeellllll, one reason is that you weren't attacking them. Two, I noticed your pendant. And three, I know who you are." Britt said, grinning happily.
"How do you know who I am. . ." But she got cut off by a light that surrounded her and, the boy and Britt had to cover their eyes to protect them from the blinding light.
When they uncovered them the saw a tall, skinny girl with dark brown hair that was up into two barrettes that went to the middle of her thigh with two red lines on her right cheek and two black mark on her left cheek. She was wearing a long white cloak that came an inch before the ground and bandages that covered all or her arms and legs and her 6 sided ruby pendent dangling from around her neck. She had a regular black tank-top and a white shirt over it and dark blue Capri pants with a lot of pockets and had a pair of good running shoes on. And had a color changing backpack slung over one shoulder. Her eyes where a blood red. She stumbled forward on to her knees panting. Britt instinctively rushed up to help her while the boy just stood there in total shock of what just happened.
"I'm Serena," was all she could say before passing out.
" Hey, aren't you gonna help me?" Britt asked the boy.
"Yeah, right. Sorry," he said. "Oh, by the way my name is. "
"..Jakob. My name is Jakob."
Britt stuck out her hand. "Glad ta' meet cha, Jakob. Wanna travel the worlds with me?"
"Huh? 'worlds'? Plural? What do you mean?"
She laughed quietly to herself. "Don't worry, I'll explain later. Just yes, or no?"
"Uh...sure, why not. I've always wanted to get away from this dreary place anyway. But...what about...Serinie, was her name?"
"Serena. Hmm...urg, that reminds me! We need to get her to the hospital! Where is it?" With that, she easily picked up the unconscious Serena.
Its short there bel more!! R&R
