1. Chapter 1

hello! this is my first fanfic so here we go.

disclaimer:I own nothing but some clothes, a kindle, and a phone.

Gregor's POV

yet another day. It's anguish enough to have to sit around at a job without the added fact of knowing that down below you there is a world that you fit into. add having the love of your life in it but not allowed to like you and being forced to get married makes it anguish. gregor hardly focuses on his job anymore. he just can't. he wants to go down there but won't risk getting his heart broken. again. it would never mend from the last time.

after working late into the night, he trudged home through the rain that had relentlessly coming down all afternoon. he was exhausted and flopped into bed instead of doing his normal exercise regimen. he stripped off his soaking wet clothes and fell asleep immediately.

the next morning he had off and was taking a run when he saw an all to familiar stone. he resigned to have a look at the waterway after standing there for a minute looking like a idiot to passerby. making sure no one was looking, he quickly slipped off the cover and slid into the tunnel.

as he started walking to the waterway, he realized that his echolation had improved. even though he would normally fall asleep quickly, he would workout in the dark, and echolation made it easy.

lost in thought, he didn't notice the giant rat in front of him until he crashed into it. "well, if it isn't our favorite overlander." ripred said. "now come along. It seems just my luck to find you here. Regalia is in need of the great warrior again." he finished, voice dripping with sarcasm. getting up, he replied with a "nice to see you to, ripred." before ripred turned and started walking torwards the waterway. gregor caught up to him and asked "Well, why would they need the warrior now?" he inqiured, matching pace with the rat. "I thought they were at peace." "I'm sure my bond can flatter you when we get there." ripred replied, once again exercising his sarcasm.

finally reaching the waterway, they hopped on the two bats that had been waiting for them and headed off torwards regalia.

well, I know that it was short but I wanted to just get this published. I hope you have the time to review because I could really use them. I honestly don't know what I am doing so I want some opinions.
