The Beginning…
The elfin Skylander heard the buzzing sound behind him as he ran. He knew that despite how quick he ran, he would not be able to escape them. He only wished that his best friend would get out of this alive… He and Sophia (Stealth Elf) had been sent to Stone Town to find Ozahkahn's Orb. The expedition had been going abnormally well for the duo up until the wasp's had found them. Once he and Sophia had been discovered, they were immediately overwhelmed.
"FlameSlinger!" a voice on his left called to him. FlameSlinger turned to see his best friend, Sophia, racing by his side.
"We're no match for them, we have to retreat!"
FlameSlinger knew that they were no match for the oversized bugs chasing them, but he still couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had failed his master. He turned to his friend and spoke up.
"We can't retreat now, we promised master Eon that we would find Ozahkahn's orb."
Sophia sighed, knowing better then to argue with her friend. She knew how disappointed he felt whenever he failed, and after the last mission he messed up, she knew he would do anything to redeem himself, even if he lost his life in the process.
The duo continued to run until Flameslinger stopped suddenly and confronted the wasps. Sophia, who was too caught up in running, did not notice her friend's absence until she had to stop to catch her breath. She turned and saw a wasp plunging towards her. Sophia raised her blade and hacked at the bug's throat the second it came in to her range.
Sophia turned looking for any sign of her friend, when all of a sudden she saw a swarm of wasps clumped in one area. Sophia charged toward the swarm knowing that her friend would be there. As Sophia neared the swarm, she saw lights rising and comets came crashing down on the bugs.
After the light dispersed, Sophia could see FlameSlinger covered in stingers. All around him were corpses of wasps, and standing by him was a she-elf Sophia had never seen before. Sophia sprinted over to where FlameSlinger was. She turned FlameSlinger towards her and gently shook him.
"FlameSlinger, wake up," Sophia whispered to him. FlameSlinger opened one of his eyes and muttered "Sophia…" before closing his eyes again. The stranger walked up to where FlameSlinger and Sophia were at. The stranger reached out to FlameSlinger and tore one of the stingers out of him.
The she-elf's ice cold eyes glared down at the stinger, as a drop of green liquid fell from it. "Just as I suspected" the stranger said "the stingers are poisoned." Sophia jolted her head toward the stranger when she heard that statement. Poison, her best friend was covered in poison stingers.
"He won't die will he?" Sophia blurted out before she could even think about what she was saying.
"The poison shouldn't kill him, but it could paralyze him for life and possibly blind him." The stranger responded still glancing at the stinger. She put the stinger in the pocket of her cloak before asking "Have you retrieved Ozahkahn's Orb?"
For some reason the question infuriated Sophia. A fellow SkyLander had been injured, and this stranger seemed to not care in the least. Sophia narrowed her eyes at the stranger before saying "no we couldn't retrieve it" The stranger glared at Sophia, but simply said "come on, we have to report to master Eon."
Sophia picked up Flameslinger and ran up to where the stranger was walking "who are you?" She asked. The stranger didn't look at Sophia when she answered. "My name is Hexsesia, but you will call me Hex." Sophia did not respond to Hex's arrogant tone; she simply concentrated on getting home, and getting her best friend to safety.
