Russ Time

In the distance I could hear the sound of birds tweeting, I could feel a gentle breeze passing over my body along with the sensation of warm sun beams hitting me.

I felt different; the weight of my clothes was not same as they were when I was in Cry's apartment… what did we do? There was a light… lots of shaking… Mystery woman…jumping in a light with…. RED

Bolting off the ground I began to claw at my chest as my eyes search around me for Red.

"Ugh…r-red…Red…RED WHERE ARE YOU?" Stumbling around as I picked myself up off the ground I notice that my simple grey t-shirt and blue jeans I was wearing was gone and it place was some weir fantasy type clothing.

My t-shirt became blood red long sleeve kung fu style shirt mix with a Middle Ages tunic, it was long enough to cover my crotch area. Hem of the top was made out of a golden yellow fabric, which was present around the bottom of the shirt, the collar, and the arm sleeves. It shines just like gold would in sunlight.

Around the tunic was a pure white slash that was wrapped neatly around my waist. Around my shoulders was a long ruby red cloak with a hood, it was hem with white trim and what looked like strange ancient language symbols.

My normal old blue jeans were replaces with long blood red skirt style trousers. Just like the top they too was hem in gold. My new black and green VANS sneakers was gone and in their place was a pair of brown leather scandal that wrapped all around my ankle.

Lifting up the ends of my cloak revealed two odd items at my feet. First of the items are a long white marble staff with a golden bird claw coming out at the top with a blood red diamond resting inside the talons. Next was the second item; it was a large thick book made out of the same material with golden edge trims that design in a way to look like birds flying around on the cover on the book there was red strange marking.

"What the hell?"

"Russ…" Letting going of the tail end of the cloak I stared around at the environment around me. I was in some type of forest with a stone path leading up to what I think is a mountain.

"Red!" I called out to the feminine voice

"Behind you…"

Twisting around I saw my red headed girlfriend but she was dressed different than what she was wearing when we were at Cry's place. What she was wearing was give her the look of pure badass and beautiful.

Her long red hair had double in length and was now up in a high ponytail. Her pair of clear frame glasses now with a pair of black leather goggles with a silver frame around them. She was wearing what appear to be crop top made out of leather with the blood red ruffle hems. It was showing off a lot of mid-rife. (I'm not complaining) The long sleeves wear long enough to hide her knuckles and the openings of the sleeves was wide made out of some type of dark grey chiffon lace material.

Her sweat pants wear now a pair of black tight shorts with a long ankle length skirt with two slit on the sides. The skirt was giving her legs the effect that they looked like they could on for miles. The pairing of simple converse she had was gone and a pair of black leather flat scandal.

Around her waist was a leather blade hoister that had a pair of sais within it. The handle of the sais was made out of a black star diopside entwined with silver design to be a pair of bats screeching into the distance. On her thighs there was two twin draggers able to hidden away by her skirt. The draggers was design just like the sais but other than silver being use to make the bat design it was made out of gold.

"Wow look at you Red" Picking up the two objects by my feet. I tuck away the book under my left arm.

"Did you see yourself?" Red made her way over to me.

"Yea um Red where the hell are we?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing I remember is dragged you through the portal then nothing."

"Same here but hey where did you go?"

"Well we land here together I wanted to see if I can find the others." Red replied as she looks around the area we are in. "But as I was leaving you started screaming for me"

"Oh sorry got worried," I said as I rub the back of my neck.

"Come on we need to find the other"

Walking to Red's side I grab hold of her hand. "Ready, Dreaded Red?"

Red gave out a short laugh before walking a head "Ready, Russ Money"

Scott Time

"Damn it Snake this is all your fault GET ME OUT OF THIS TREE"

Tugging away at the branches that had snag on to my clothes had me hanging here in a fifty feet tall tree. The asshole below me was doing nothing to help me out. Why the hell was I stuck with this shitting snake?

I wouldn't be stuck if my clothes were not so loose and wide. All my clothes have change into some sort of monk clothing. I was now wearing a black koromo that had red marking circling around the sleeves of the robe. There was golden yellow kesa wrapped around my person.

When I first wake up in this position I was in I had on pair of waraji scandal but I been since then those have been throw at Snake along with a what looked like some sort of Buddhist staff with an ornamental head shape as a woman with wings there were seven noise making rings hanging on it each one was different from the other. One of a bat, one of a bird, one of a dragon, one of an angel, one of a cat and the last one is that of a man.

"Relax leaving you up there will help the others find us and then we can start this journey." Snake replied up to me as he just sat there under me.

I wasn't the only one to get a new makeover. Even if I hate the man Snake's new look was great on him. He now sported black skin tight muscle t-shirt that had a high collar. The shirt was design with off silver hem trim and two silver buttons that held a cloak around his neck. The dark grey cloak was only waist length and seems to be torn in a few places at the bottom. He was also wearing a pair of black pants that was tight around is thighs and become loose around the knee area and down. There was strange marking running along his pants legs in red. For footwear he was wearing a pair of combat boots that was buckle up by three red metallic buckles.

Strapped along his back was a black leather quiver with golden marking, the same one that was covering his pants' legs. There looked to be about twenty arrows in the quiver.

"How about you come up here and get me down. Before I decide to kill you!"

"Good Luck with that."

Cry's Eyes

There's barking not too far from where I am… My eyes they won't open, their like cement blocks in a lake.

Where am I…Let's see

I was home doing the live stream with the other and we were doing the Wind down hour with some callers…. someone called us then there was shaking and bright light…Scott yelling at Snake…close to normal night minus the shaking and lights. Damn my head hurts.

I needing to get my head together; I slowly open my eyes to the scene around me. I was greeted with the sight of overflow forest life. The bright sun light was peeking through the leaves of the trees above me. Lifting my left arm to cover my face; I was given quite a scared. My whole forearm was cover in this weird golden metal making it into a gauntlet of a sort. The marking in ruby red that was engrave in the metal. At my hand the metal was design to look like a dog's head in an open mouth attack. I allowed my eyes to travel up my gauntlet cover arm just to see golden veins going from the forearm to my shoulder. The view was cut off by a dark grey muscle shirt with a high tight white collar.

Shifting in a sitting position I stared at the new outfit I was given. My pants wear replace with black loose trouser that was tuck into a pair of dark grey greaves edge in golden yellow trim. I even had a pair of matching solerets on my feet. Around my shoulder is an off white knee length cloak that was click together by a golden shield knot pendant.

In the ground near me was a large sword piecing the into the earth's soil. The sword was a double sided blade; the metal use for the blade was strangely shade of white with the same ruby red marking engrave into it. Near the hilt of the blade was a circular cut out within it there was a floating red sphere spinels stone. The hilt of the sword was made out of gold and design to look like two demon hounds in the act of snarl. The handle of the blade was wrapped up in white and onyx black leather.

The sword and this new outfit are awesome.

Bark arf

"Excalibur…" I could hear in the distance my golden retriever barking at something. There was talking near him too.

"SNAKE YOU ASSHOLE"

'Huh Scott…'

"Relax Scott we have Excalibur that means Cry should be around here"

"But did you have to shot me out of the tree? And let me drop the whole way down?"

"You're still alive right?"

"…Dick"

'Do they always have to argue?'

Arf Arf

"Cry where you at?" I could hear Scott calling out to me on my right.

"…Over here!" I screamed out as I got on my feet. 'Ugh my head is still killing me.'

Placing my hands over my eyes I rub the palm of my hands of them; in hope that it would ease some of the pain. Hearing the bushes near me being push apart I knew both Snake and Scott have arrive to me locate.

"Whoa look what the portal dropped in. Look at you bud" Hearing Scott's comment I removed my hands from my eyes as I stared at the two completely make over friends of mine. Just like me that they too were dress up in fantasy style clothes.

"You're one to talk. Do you guys know where we are at?" I asked them just as Excalibur came charging to my side. My once adorable canine has transformed into a badass demon hound. He has triple in size from his average height from my hips. His muscle mass has span to the point he looked like a huge grizzly bear. I could see his red collar still clip around his neck but his usual dog tags have change into the same golden shield knot as my pendant.

"We don't know I woke up in a tree with Snake under me." Scott replied back to me as I pick up the heavy sword. "Dude why did Snake and you get the cool weapons and I'm stuck with the stick?"

Laughing at Scott's complaining stared all around us. I could tell we were on a slope ground surround by nothing but nature. Behind me I could see a stone path leading farther up the land.

"Have you guys seen Red, Russ or B-star?" I asked

"Nah you're the only one we have seen since getting here"

"What did we agree to?"

"Save the world and a little girl what else?"

"I remember that but I dragged you guys into it. Who knows how dangerous it's going to be?" These types of things don't happen in real life, it's just not impossible.

"Hey we wouldn't have come if we didn't think we would make it." To the left of us the bushes parted ways showing Red and Russ. They too have been given a new wardrobe change. "Beside why do you always get to have the fun?" Russ question as he swung his arm over my shoulder.

"It's good to see you guys came out alright. Especially you Red you look great"

"Watch it… So now we just need to find B-star."

"I been using Scott as a human alarm system I think he would have heard us by now." Snake answered

"There a pathway back where we came from I bet there a village or town that way. Just maybe he went there in search for us."

When we arrive to the pathway Russ was telling us about, we quickly made our way up the sloppily land with very little talk. We keep our voices down for the off chance that BattleStar could be calling out to us. It was hard to believe that we are just suddenly thrown into a something so unreal, unworldly, something that never should have ever happen. No matter how cool it is or an amazing opportunity this is I couldn't help but to think about all the bad possibilities that could happen to my friends and I. Video games and movies really did give out some good pointers on what to expect and what could be the finally outcome of these type of situation.

Getting closer to the end of the path we came upon five different archways. The first one we walked under was design to look like a phoenix with its wings spread wide. It looks to be made out of some type of light yellow marble stone.

The second archway was made out of pure black marble and design to look like a bat in mid swoop with its mouth wide open. The arch was its mouth and had large fangs piercing the ground. It's very much intimating. The third archway was a large dragon made out of olive green marble stone material. The dragon was constructed after a European dragon with its wings folded into its body.

The fourth was what appears to be a sapphire blue archway built to look like three headed tiger. The left tiger head and the right tiger head was position to make them look like they were in a mid open mouth strike. The middle head was just staring down at you with such intense eyes that for a moment I thought they were real.

The last and final archway was truly a sight to be seen. It was made out of pure white marble stone like all the other archways. But unlike the others this one was not design after an animal but after a heavenly creature; an angel. The arches were made out two angels leaning against each other with their wings open and pointing upwards. The angels' have long hair that appears to be flowing in the air.

The archways were something to behold.

Bark Bark

"What is it Excalibur?" I asked once we past under the angel archway. Excalibur sprinted off into the bushes lining the pathway. "Excalibur!"

Walking into the bushes we stumble upon a burnt up fallen tree. The tree trunk had to be close to ten to fifteen feet thick. The area around the tree has suffered the same faith. The creepiest part about the area there was hundreds of alchemist signs etch into every surface. Excalibur was sitting near the center panting his tongue out.

"Okay I think we have stumbled over to the twilight zone. Can we go now?" Scott asked as we venture farther into the forest.

"This is what you call Twilight Zone not anything else that happen to us." Russ pointed out

"Guys I think BattleStar was here." Red called out in the center of the area.

Walking to her she turn around to show us a simple star shape pendant. The pendant was made out of gold with the word 'Battle' engraves on the front.

"Not very creative" I said as I grabbed hold of the necklace. "Maybe he took off the same path we are"

"Let hurry up and get to him. Hopefully he Okays?" Russ spoke out while leading the way back to the stone pathway.

Not much later on the pathway did we start to hear the sound of people talking and the busy sounds of working village. Walking farther we begun to see the town; just like my dream this town or village was design to look like it was built in the seventeen hundreds. I felt like I was truly in a RPG, there was Traven, inn, marketplace, chapel and many other places. The town even had their own color scheme; orange and brown. The people had inhabit the town was just like any other fantasy RPG, there was a mix of humans and creatures. Some had the feature of felines, canines, and birds in a humanoid form. Some of the people were dress in armor, robes, simple peasants clothing.

When we made our way into the town things change quickly. From their social conversations of everyday pleasantness to harsh troubling silence, it was nerve wrecking. Everyone stopped what they were doing to just stare upon us.

"Okay so now what I don't think anyone will talk to else?"

"Do we really not fit in? We look just like them?"

Breaking away from the group I made my way over to a merchant who was selling jewelry of every size and shape. He was humanoid tiger dressed in a simple creamy orange peasant shirt with a pair of brown trousers that was held up by drawstring. "Excuse me good sir you won't have happened to see a curly hair fellow who may look a little confuse and cover burn scorches?"

"Really Cry that how you start things up?" Russ question while slapping his forehead

"What"

The large tiger merchant stared ruthless down at us from his six foot or seven foot frame.

"Hello can you speak?" Red asked as she came over to my side, she wasn't in the happiest moods at the moment. You could tell she was worry about BattleStar.

"I can speak girl but how dare you come into our town wearing the clothing of the highest honor of the Gealach Ghrian Riocht."

Staring down at clothes we were given I just realize how our clothes had the same color scheme; Red, Gold and Black.

"What is Gealach Ghrian Riocht?"

"Don't act like you don't know that kingdom was of holy descended, the people that inhabit that land were fierce powerful warriors, mages, and monks. They were all born with the power to control god like creatures. They protected all of the country for those nasty vile creatures from hell."

By now the surround area begun to get back to their daily lives but there was still people who would throw glance our way.

"We're really sorry about the Gealack Ghrian Riocht whatever but we need to find or friend and save some little girl of some sort." Red said as she steps closer to now nervous looking vendor. "So if you could kindly answer our question will leave your town in peace okay?" Her hand drifted down to one of the twin sai strap to her waist.

The guy flinches back a bit from Red demanding tone and the obvious threat she was throwing out there. "Aye I did see your friend he was taken to Lady Eleanor's house."

"What do you mean by taken?" I asked

"Lady Eleanor took him there." The merchant replied back shakily

"Where can we find this house?"

"Down road, make a right from the Bog Inn. It's near the Eastern Gate can't really miss it."

"Thank you let's go boys" Red said while continuing down the road. We all fell in line quickly

"Man is she rough?" I whisper to Russ

"Yep that's my Red" Russ was grinning like a love struck dope

"Russ…" Red sent an irk look over her shoulder to him.

"I'm shutting up"

Walking to the Eastern Gates the town begun to change for building all around to the home being separate by a nice size length of grassy plains and a few trees scatter about. The style of the houses changed as well, the homes were made with more stone and the roof was design with a hut style top.

The merchant was not telling a lie about knowing which house was Lady Eleanor's. The house itself was design just like the others around it but in the lawn there was a pathway made with planks of woods. Along the pathway there was at least six poles on each side. Entwine around the poles are ribbons of red, black and golden. The marking covering everyone's clothes was craved around the poles. Scattered around the yard are statues of dogs, cats, birds, bats, angels, and reptiles. Hanging around the house's walls are different sizes of wind chimes. They made such a soothing rhythm that eases most of my nerves. I could see the same effect happening to everyone else.

Walking to the front door I could make out sometime of some sort of alchemist symbol burned into it. Above the burned in symbol there was a golden Celtic knot design to look like the Triquetra that was a doorknocker.

When we were all by the door Snake lift up the knocker and slammed it down against the door three times. We stood there waiting some time before Snake knock on the door again but louder.

"Hello…Lady Eleanor" I called out

Still nothing. Russ pokes his head over to the nearby stain glass window.

Once again Snake lifted up the knocker-

"Knock on my door one more time and I'll change your gender status from male to female." A woman voice spoke out behind the before he could repeat the knocking.

Slowly he place the knocker back down as the door open

"Hello Gealach Laochra"

Gealach means Moon

Ghrian means Sun

Riocht means Kingdom

Laochra means Warrior

I hope you enjoy the second chapter see ya next time.
