Chapter 2

Welcome to my second chapter of The Seventh Eliatrope, I'm glad that people are liking this story. The first draft of chapter two accidentally got erased when I was making edits but I think this one is better, anyway I'm going to respond to reviews before the chapter begins. Also I will be revealing who Orion's adopted mother is as well! Well, I mean technically he is technically her son cause of her Wakfu, oh forget it you came here for a story. But first, reviews!

mjt014: I'm glad you like my story so far and I hope that it keeps inspiring you, hopefully you guessed right on who his mother is. Hope you enjoy the story!

Glavie165: I will, don't worry. Enjoy the chapter!

m,tarnina: First I would like to thank you for your review and PM's. It will help me in the future when I write chapter for this and my other stories. Secondly I hope you enjoy this story!

kyrogue23: Thank you, I hope you continue to enjoy this story. Also don't worry I'm about to say who his mother is, hopefully you actually thought it was her, any way I hope you enjoy this chapter!

elias41: Thank you, and that is exactly what will happen, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Guest: demon: I'm glad I have answered your prayers, I hope you continue to like my story, enjoy the chapter!

Now for the big reveal, Orion's mother is (drum role), The Goddess Eniripsa herself! While never actually appearing in the show, she was introduced in one of the games related to Wakfu, I can't remember the name of the game but it does reveal a few of the gods and goddesses. I made her Orion's mother because Orion was the Eliatrope healer and who better to teach him then a healing goddess? Well, aside from his actual mother, oh god I just thought of what would happen if they met. It would be equally terrifying and awesome. (I can already hear the screaming)

Let my know if you guessed right, now on with the story!

PLEASE READ: From what I heard Wakfu season 3 might be release on Netflix on April 1, 2018, if it's a joke I'm gonna be very unhappy.

5/28/18 Update: I was not happy, I had to wait 5 more days, but I fixed a few sections in this chapter by making things more detailed than before. I know I said I probably wouldn't do it but I figured since I do it with my other stories why not do it here. But don't expect every chapter to get an update, I won't do it all the time.


Orion pov

"Come on, where are you?" I ask, settling myself on the top of a large tree. There's forest all around, the trees look like so much broccoli from up here, but no sign of the zaap portal anywhere, not a gap in this green, no matter how much I strain my eyes. But I know it's around here somewhere. It's been a couple of days since I left Bonta for Oma Island, and I'm already lost. Gods and Goddesses. If only I could cast my portals further than line of sight, maybe one day. Well, won't gain anything sitting here, brooding, so I open one to the ground, once there I dust myself off.

Let's see, the zaap Portal is supposed to be down the left path after the tree that looks like a gabbowl ball. I look around for the strange tree but I can't see one that stands out to me. Well, seems like I have to guess the path for now. What's the worst that could happen?

I take a single step forward and a loud *CLICK* resonated through the area, I look down and see that I stepped on some type of wire that ran across the ground, I follow the wire as it goes up a tree till it stops at-oh gods giant log! I duck just in time to avoid a large log covered in spikes, once it flies by I sit up and look around in shock. "Why would someone need this!? Someone could get seriously hurt!"

I stand back up and take a single step before I hear another clicking noise, this time large spikes shot out of the ground. Suffice to say if I had been anywhere else I would be skewered with spikes right now. Once the spikes disappear I take a step back, only to HEAR ANOTHER CLICK! This time several large boxes rose from the ground, my heart nearly stopped when I saw them open and reveal more spears than I could count all aimed at me.

"If I ever find who made all these, I swear I'm going to kick their-" The boxes seemed to shift before several spears shot towards me, I raise my hand and create a portal but instead of a portal a black shield with a white swirl pattern on it appeared in front of me. I looked at the shield before the spears collide with the shield causing it to slam into my face, "OW!" I hold my face in pain, "What the-" I saw several more spear shoot at me so I role under them and grab the shield and hold it in front of me, the spears bounced off harmlessly but the force was pushing me back.

Once the onslaught of weapons lessens I run as fast as I could away from the large boxes, I had to get away from these things, thankfully I spot the edge of the forest.

I jumped out of the tree line as several spears fly past me, I looked behind me as several more shot towards my head, I raised the shield and deflected the spears just in time. Unfortunately I lost my balance and started to roll down the hill, everything around me was a blur as I rolled down the hill, I was panicking a bit but I knew I had to find a way to stop. Think think think what could I do, then it hits me, or more specifically I land on it, the shield. As I role I move the shield over my chest and thankfully manage to land on it. I rode the shield, once I managed to get the shield underneath my feet, like a sled down the grassy hill. Thankfully I can see the one thing I've been looking for since I left Bonta, the zaap portal at the bottom of the hill, "Sweet." I said as I slid down the hill.

I pull a tear-shaped crystal from my bag and toss it into the empty stone ring, a bit disappointed no one else was able to see that shot, like I'd seen my mother do before. Blue light surges, fills the frame with ethereal blue. I sure hope it's a soft landing!


I slid out the other side of the zaap portal, but unfortunately there was a rock right as I exited causing the shield to send me flying into the air. I flew through the air for about five seconds before I tried to summon my own portal but nothing happened. "Great." I smash into the ground face first, "Ow." I say, my voice muffled by the dirt. I pulled myself up "Wait." I look at the ground, "What happened to the-?" *THUD* I slam into the ground again with a loud thud after something hit the back of my head. "Ow, ow, ow, what hit me? Gods and goddesses, that hurts." I stood back up, legs wobbling somewhat, I look down at what hit me to find my shield. Not the smartest idea in my life, riding it like a sled ugh. Let's sit down in the cool grass for a moment while I look this shield over, "What is this thing made of?"

I pick up the shield, "Okay, how the heck do I get rid of you?" I say to myself, I try to focus on the shield disappearing and trying to cut off the wakfu I was sending to it. Thankfully it disappeared and I felt my wakfu surge through my body again, what a rush, I held my right hand out and a black portal appears. "Alright I can use portals again, but I kinda liked that shield." Maybe I could try and summon it again once I get a map? I turn away from the zaap portal and look around, there were green hills as far as the eye could see, clouds were low enough that if I wanted to I could touch them if I was closer, and a bright blue sky to finish. It certainly was peaceful, hope it stays like this for a while. I look over and see Kelba market not to far away, I couldn't help but smile that I finally made it here. There were several merchant stands in front of a small hill with large dead tree on top of it. I walk down the small hill towards the market, once there I start to look around for a map of the world. Several of the vendors actually had maps but they weren't gonna be any useful to me.

"Do you have anything smaller?" I ask the first merchant.

"Sorry kid that's all I got."

"Do you have anything more up to date?" I ask the second merchant.

"If you don't want it then scram kid!" He replied rudely.

"Do you have anything larger?" I ask the third merchant.

"Sorry, but that's the only one I have." She replies apologetically.

After going to all the vendors I was starting to worry that I was gonna have to go back to Bonta to get a good map. There is one option left however, if I'm lucky I can remember the way to Kabroks shop, mom took me there whenever we need to get some rare ingredients.

Turning away from the market and towards the path to Kabrok's, I hear a blood-curdling screech and look over my shoulder to see a huge black cloud speeding at me. No, it's a bird! It's flipping enormous! And it's laughing, a deep, throaty laugh that carries through the air. "The Black Crow!" a vendor shouts. I watch, stunned, as the small figure on the bird's back draws a sword, almost as large as he is, to cut a groove through the ground (and several stalls), never even stopping.

Really? The Black Crow, what kind of a name is that? Crows are already black so that name just sounds, oh what's the word again, redundant I think. I watched as the Black Crow flew towards the market, he swung the massive sword made of a black metal again. He flew through the market dragging the blade on the ground and slicing through more of the shops, "What the heck is his problem?" I ask before using a portal to get near one of the destroyed shops. The Black Crow turned and seemed to be coming back towards the market, I toss my bag to the ground before I ran to the center of the market after the Black Crow slices the ground open a second time.

"Hahaha, I'm really starting to enjoy things around here!" Someone said happily, turning, I see a iop. No surprise here.

"Take cover!" A cra in a black outfit holds out a gloved hand. "I'll deal with this crazy bird."

"Take cover? You're joking! Hey, Black Crow! Come fight!" The enormous bird lands on a large branch on the dead tree, folding its wings, which are seriously weird, more like plumes of thick black smoke than bits of anything living, and I slide closer to the iop and the cra.

"Need a hand, you two?" I offer with a smile, not paying attention to the Black Crows monologue, and the girl stares, while her partner merrily answers.

"Sure, Yugo, the more, the merrier." What did he call me?

"Oh, this isn't Yugo, iop-brain. He just looks like Yugo." The cra rolls her eyes and turns to me "We'd appreciate it, thanks."

"Alright then." We turn to look back at the Black Crow who started shooting what seemed to be crow eggs that hatched and turned into explosive birds mid flight. He shot at every shop in Kelba destroying the stands and everything in them.

"Come down here and fight you coward!" The Iop shouted at the laughing villain.

"Hey guys I'm here to help." I turn to the new voice and froze what I saw, he looked kinda like me. Only my outfit was darker colors and his shirt kinda looked like an apron, and I didn't have a rope around my waste or a large button near my neck. I also had longer hair.

We both looked at the other for a few moments, "How come you look like me?" We both asked at the same time but we are interrupted by the Black Crows laugh.

"We can figure this out later, right now we have to deal with him." I say to him and he nods and we both turn to look at the villain.

"He's quick but if we can attack together we might be able to hit him." Says my look alike. "Are you ready?" Yugo gets into a position that males is seem like he's about to run forwards. "Ready." He says in a serious tone.

I make a portal in each hand and focus on the Black Crow. "Ready." I reply.

"Ready" said the cra, an arrow of light appearing on her drawn bowstring.

"Ready." Said the iop who spun his sword before it grew and resembled a stone wall with magma going through the cracks.

The Black Crow raised his sword as he shot towards us.

"Three." Said my look alike as the Black Crow dragged the blade across the ground.

"Two." I said as I prepare to throw my portals.

"One." Said the Cra. We waited for the iop to say Zero but he never did, just before the Black Crow is about to hit us he dives to the right and smashes the last remaining shop in Kelba.

"The coward!" The iop said angrily, "He's flying away!"

"He's done what he came here to do." Said my look alike.

"I hate to be that guy, but did anyone really expect him to be able to count down from three?" I ask the others, the cra was about to respond but closed her mouth after a moment. "Just checking." I turn to look at my look alike, "Now that that guy is gone." I hold out my hand and smile, "Nice to meet you, I'm Orion."

He smiles and shakes my hand, "I'm Yugo, how come you look like me?"

I shrug, "Your guess is as good as mine, so what brings you to-" I look around at the destroyed shops, "-what use to be Kelba Market?"

"I'm looking for a world map to look for my real family."

"No way, that's what I'm doing, I'm looking for a map to find my family on Oma Island."

Yugo looked shocked, "But that's where I was told my family was."

I was taken back by this, "Did a really deep voice tell you while strange blue words entered your eyes?" I ask.

"Yeah, did that happen to you to?"

"Yeah."

"Well, Yugo, it looks like you found part of your family." Said the Cra.

Realization dawns on both of us before we both look at each other, we dressed the same, we kinda looked the same, and we were both going to the same island to find our real family. Both of us hold out our hands and create a portal only mine was black while his was a light blue, we both had the same magic, there is only one way to see if we are really related or not. "There is are a few ways to see if we really are related, but we can save that for later." I point to my hat and Yugo nods with a smile.

A few moments pass before I scratch the back of my head, "So what now?" I ask.

"You can meet my friends, then we can go find a map to Oma Island together, I can introduce you to Az and we can get to know each other better!" He said excitedly. "What do you say?" He ask with a smile.

"Sure thing brother." I reply with a smile of my own.

"Brother?" He asked confused.

"Well, yeah, since we don't know exactly how we're related I figured since we are kinda similar we might be brothers at least." I explain my logic to him.

"I never had a brother before."

"Mean either, but it sounds like it'll be fun!" I say excitedly. "And once we get a chance I can introduce you to my mom, you're gonna love her!" I can't wait for Yugo to meet mom, "She's gonna love you."

"And you can meet my dad, he's the coolest guy you'll ever meet." He said happily.

"Alright then, let's go meet your friends, I just need to grab something first." I walk over to my bag and put it over my shoulder again before I walk back over to Yugo, he quickly pulls me towards the group of people.

"Orion, these are my friends!" Yugo said happily motioning towards the group.

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Yugos brother Orion." I say with a smile.

"This is Az." Yugo said holding up a Tofu bird.

"Hey little guy." I say waving at the little tofu.

"Ruel Stroud." Said the Enutrof "A pleasure." I swear I heard him mumble something about another mouth to feed.

"Pleasures all mine, I think."

"I am sir Percedal of Sadlygrove, noble night and guardian of the Shushu." He said holding up his sword.

"I'm going to call you Dally." I say before I look at the demon sword, the large eye in the center looked back at me.

"You reek of nature and purity." The demon sword stated.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I'm Amalia Sheran Sharm, princess of the Sadida Kingdom."

I bow, "It is an honor to meet royalty."

"I've Evangelyne, the princesses personal guard, you better not try anything you got it!" She said narrowing her eyes at me, what did she mean by that?

"Yes mam, it's nice to meet you, you kinda remind me of my aunt, she's a Cra too." (Cra, I'm talking about the goddess Cra just so you all know.)

"Alright then, so now we need to find a map and we'll be on our way." Evangelyne said.

Yugo spotted one of the shopkeepers sitting where his shop use to be before we both walk over to him. "Sir, I'm sorry we weren't able to do anything to stop him from destroying your stall."

"Well, at least you tried, that's something." He said standing up.

"Are there any other merchants around here?" Ruel asked, "We're looking for a map of the world."

"Well, as much as it pains my to send business a competitors way, a little further south you'll find Kabrok's shop. He's a master in bric-a-brac."

"Does he ever get attacked?" Asked the princess.

"Not Kabrok, he's as rich as he is built his shop underground out of the Black Crows reach."

"Thank you for this valuable information good man!" Dally said. "And you can be sure that if we meet this Black Crow again he will not escape!"

"Really? No offense intended, there's not a lot you can do. No? Yes? No, I didn't think so." Said the man as he walked away.


We soon left Kelba Market and made our way to Kabrok's shop, while we walked we all talked about ourselves a bit. Ruel use to be a bounty hunter and Dally had been possessed by Rubilax when he first met Yugo. The Princess said she was guided by Sadida to Yugo to help him on his quest and Eva was just here to keep her safe. I told them that I fought off a group of Rouges to unlock my powers before the message told me to go to Oma Island.

"So Orion what do you like to do?" Yugo asked as we walked a bit slower than the others to talk.

"Well, I like making potions with mom, helping others, and cooking. Oh by the way under no circumstances should you ever let my mother cook anything whatsoever." I say looking him in the eyes.

"Is she really that bad?" He asked.

"The last time she cooked something she set fire to nearly half of Bonta, I still don't know how she did it, I looked away for a moment and half the cities on fire!"

"Wow."

"Yeah, anyway I also like helping out in the gabbowl arena with my mom, going hunting with my aunt, and seeing new places. What do you like?" I ask my new brother.

"Well, I like cooking as well, but I'm not good a baking bread, I like playing with my friends, and adventures!" He said excitedly.

"Well, we both like cooking, we can make portals, and we like adventures."

"Oh yeah, speaking of portals, why do you think are our portals different colors?" He asked making a small blue portal in his hand.

"No idea." I reply making a small black and grey portal in my hand as well. We moved the portals closer to each other, the portals touched for less than a second before the colors started to bleed into one another. We quickly pull them apart as they return to normal, "That was weird."

"Yeah."

Me and Yugo continued to talk about our lives till the familiar sight of Kabrok's shop came into view, at first glance it would look like an old abandon house but underneath was a massive shop with everything you can imagine in it. As we got closer more and more signs with images of all kinds started to appear, I forgot how much they like advertising.

"Say, have you seen this?" Yugo asked, "It looks like this Kabrok is very well known around here."

"You're right." Ruel answered. "He's everywhere."

We walked up to the door, "Finally we made it." Eva said

Not even a fraction of a second after she said those words Yugo latched onto the door and took a deep breath, "IS ANYONE THERE!?" He shouted at the door.

A moment passes before I hear Miranda speak over the intercom. "If you've come to spend a few Kamas, you are very welcome sirs." Yugo smiles and lets go of the door before a buzzer sounds and the door unlocks as Yugo runs inside, I run after him not hearing what the others were saying. Once inside the others were shocked at all the items that you could buy, I tuned them out while I looked around at all the new stuff they had since I was last here, which was about a week ago. I did however hear Ruel say something about the shops in Bonta being better.

"Well, thank you very much, it's always nice to hear that kind of thing." Miranda spoke up after walking in from behind a curtain. "Your words are hurtful mister adventurer, and very misleading as well. In my shop you will find riches that you will not see anywhere else."

"There are treasures here which I never dreamed existed." Ruel said walking up to her, "Forgive my lack of tack madame." He took her hand and looked like he was about to kiss it.

"KABROK!" She yelled causing Ruel to fall back and into a barrel.

Kabrok walked out looking as glum as ever, I watched from the side so they couldn't see me as Kabrok said his shops modo and Miranda brought out her pet Snoofle and explained how it is a test, the richer someone is the more the Snoofle loved them, the Snoofle shot towards the group before it found Ruel quite interesting, but then it froze and sniffed the air before it saw me and I waved at it. It shot at me like a lightning bolt and I catch it before it starts sniffing me and running around me like crazy, it's eyes turning into stars and it latched onto my arm. "Hey there little guy, did you miss me?"

"Orion!" Miranda said excitedly before looking slightly worried, "Did you order something for today?" She pulled out a large scroll and starts to look it over.

"No, just here with my new friends and brother for some shopping." I reply.

"Well, any friend of Orion is more than welcome to shop here." I looked back at the group, Ruel, the Princess, and Eva seemed surprised, "Wait, did you say brother?"

"Yup." I pull Yugo over, "This is Yugo and as of, I'm gonna say 10 minutes ago, I discovered that he we are related." I say with a smile.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Yugo, your brother, his mother, and aunt are some of our best customers, and just for that you all get a 10% discount." Miranda said happily and I lean over and whisper into my brothers ear.

"She almost never gives people a discount, let's hurry before she changes her mind." I let Yugo go as he and the Princess start asking about Tofu seeds and Sadida bags, thankfully Eva told them we need a map of the world. Turns out they had maps so we followed her to where it was kept, once Miranda had it we went to find Yugo and Kabrok who were in Kabrok's trophy room.

"I was a big collector when I was young." I heard Kabrok say as we walked into the room.

"Yes, and now your collecting days are over." Miranda said walking up to her husband.

"Oh yes." Ruel agreed, "I know exactly what you mean madame!" He said excitedly, as the Enutrof proverb says, collecting is great, but selling-"

"Is better." Finished Miranda before they both started to laugh. Miranda than pulled out the map she had, "Here is the map of the world that you asked for. It should appeal to one who appreciates beauty like you. It's exceptional." She rolled open the map only to reveal it was blank.

"No Miranda!" Kabrok said urgently. "Not the Grav'Mar'Av' map. It's priceless."

"Dear husband!" She said sounding angry and annoyed at the same time. "Everything has a price." She continued in a calmer tone of voice. "And let it never be said a traveler could not find what they needing our shop."

"But-" Kabrok said reaching for the map only for Miranda to move it out of his reach, "Its power."

"Its power!?" Eva said excitedly while the others were all looking at the map with wonder, I was also curious about the map now, what makes it so special?

"Come on have a look." Miranda said holding open the map for us all to see, only it was blank, nothing on it whatsoever.

Everyone looked at it confused before I spoke up. "Why's it blank?" I ask her wondering why she would try and sell us this.

"Oh my sweet, my all seeing, all knowing magnificent map of marvels, show me the beautiful land of Kelba please." As she said that a face appeared on the parchment, yeah, that's not creepy at all. But it got creepier when it started talking!

It laughed before replying, "Impossible to refuse such a polite request." The right before my eye I watched as the face disappeared and the land of Kelba appeared on the map in near perfect detail, land marks then appeared across the map as well.

"Fascinating." Eva said awestruck.

"It speaks." Dally said amazed.

"We gotta have it!" Yugo added.

"Impossible." Kabrok stated with his arms crossed, surprising everyone.

"Oh please, come on Kabrok." Miranda said rolling the map back up. "Kicking up so much fuss for a pitiful map is beneath you." She turned to look back at us, "Sir Ruel, I have a proposition for you and your friends." Oh this doesn't sound good. "You may have the map for free, if you rid us of the Black Crow."

Well, this was gonna be an interesting day to say the least.
