Finally, after two thousand years, the next chapter comes! The chapter after this comes soon, so don't worry. I'm sorry if any of the next two chapters are short and/or boring. I'm trying to work on extending chapter lengths, and I promise the story gets interesting soon. :D
"Wha-what?" Adam stuttered. "I told you, we needed shelter."
"And he's also wondering if there was stuff to take, but I doubt he'd take stuff from you now that he knows this house is inhabited," Amy added. "I didn't want to, but he insisted."
Aaron glanced at Amelia, who shrugged. "They're good, I guess." she said.
"Now, why was a lady in your wall?" Adam questioned.
"It's my hiding place," Amelia said. "If there's an intruder, I hide in the wall. Who are you guys?"
Adam stepped forwards. "I'm Adam," he said, before gesturing towards Amy. "She is Amy. Why are you so suspicious? We did nothing wrong."
"Because the Legion of Light is rising. It's worrying," Aaron answered.
Amy was confused. "Why is it worrying? The Legion of Light is the team meant to save us from the monsters!" When she said this, though, Aaron sighed. Amelia stared at Amy as if she was crazy. Adam was silent.
After a moment of silence, Aaron finally spoke. "The Legion wants to get rid of darkness by destroying the Monster's Heart so there'll be nothing but good. I see where they're coming from, but they fail to see the problem," he said. "Without darkness, light cannot exist. What would happen to our world if there was neither darkness or light? That is a question I'd prefer to remain unanswered."
"So, basically, we shouldn't let the Legion of Light get their hands on the Monster's Heart," Amelia explained. "However, they recently found where the Heart could possibly be, and so we must act fast and make sure that it remains our of their reach."
It made sense, and yet, Amy couldn't believe her ears. The team she thought was legendary turned out to be delusional. The Heart, the thing that creates all monsters, should be protected. "Thank you for the information." Amy said, hoping to hide her shock.
"You're welcome," Aaron answered, starting to pace. "Now, we need to make sure that the Heart is safe, but the Rebellion has been defeated years ago. The members have scattered across the world, and now no one knows who belonged to the Rebellion. We'll need to build a new one, perhaps search for the old members."
Adam perked up. "We can help!" he exclaimed all of the sudden.
"What?" Amy turned to Adam. "We barely know them and you're trying to send us on a random mission?"
Unfortunately for Amy, Adam wasn't listening. "We all can go! Amy's actually pretty tough, Aaron already seems to know a bunch of stuff, I'm a good leader, and you, Amelia-" Adam awkwardly paused. "I... still don't know your redeeming qualities, but I'm sure you have them." he finally said.
"Amy is right." Aaron said. "Plus, it sounds a bit crazy to try rounding up all of the Rebellion."
Adam thought for a moment. "Random question: what do you guys want to accomplish?"
"Uhh, I would like to be a hero, and I know you do, too-" Amy said, before realizing what her friend was trying to do. "Don't try to convince them. They can just get others to help."
"Quiet, Amy." Adam whispered.
Aaron didn't speak, but Amelia quickly smiled. "I just want that Legion to stop what they're doing. As for Aaron-" Aaron nudged Amelia, trying to silence her, but she didn't listen. "-he just wants to be smart or something like that. I don't understand it that much."
Adam thought for a few seconds before speaking. "Amy, if we go on this adventure, we would be heroes. You know that, right? Amelia, if we go on this adventure, we'll stop the Legion from doing their thing if we succeed, and Aaron, you know this is an adventure that requires traveling, right? That means you get to learn more."
"I'm not convinced." Aaron said, crossing his arms. "You know, I am not a nitwit. I won't fall for that."
"I, for one, think it sounds fun." Amelia said.
Amy sighed. "Adam, I know you'll go on this adventure even without us, so I might as well come and make sure you don't fall into a zombie pit or something."
Amelia brightened. "So can I come?" she asked.
"Of course." Adam replied.
"I changed my mind!" Aaron yelled all of the sudden. "I'll come too." Amelia snickered at Aaron's reaction, but didn't say anything.
Adam smiled. "Great. We should leave tomorrow. Getting some sleep would help, though."
Aaron nodded. "Yes, sleep will be important. We can plan to leave tomorrow." he said.
"Agreed." the others said in unison.
(Timeskip)
Amy was an early bird. She was used to waking up and sitting there for at least an hour, with nothing to do. In fact, it was only after some tiring event that she slept later than Adam. Today, however, she woke up to find Aaron sitting up with a book in his hands. Gazing at the cover, Any could see the title: "What to Do When Subjected to a Quest All of the Sudden".
"What a... strange book you got there, Aaron." Amy commented.
Aaron looked up, but before he could say anything, Amelia mumbled, "He has an entire shelf of them, all of them written by himself." Amy jumped when she spoke, as she had assumed Amelia was still sleeping.
"Err, yes. I do, but you never know. Stuff like this happens more than you think, actually," Aaron said, looking a bit embarrassed.
"And Aaron never lies. Usually." Amelia muttered.
Amy turned her head to Amelia. "If you're awake, why don't you get up?" she asked.
"I like to lie in bed for a bit."
"The floor, you mean?"
"Yeah. We never actually use our own beds."
Amy wanted to ask why, but she didn't. There was no need to since she had already figured out at this point that Adam and she had walked straight into a house of weirdos.
