Here we go! CHAPTER THREE! Oh yeah, I need to say something humorous, revealing, or annoying right now…. I got nothing. TIME TO READ!
Thwap! Bang! POW! Krsssssssssssshhunk! The duo of Oichi and Omega are training hard to take Ignis.
"Hey Omega!" said Oichi while hitting yet another bulls eye down by the archery range.
"YEAH?" Shouts Omega while slicing up an army of moving dummies effortlessly.
"I was just wondering," Oichi is saying, walking closer to Omega, nailing targets as she does so, "I've been traveling a lot, and I noticed that the other kingdoms have huge armies, right? So, why does Aurora have no soldiers except for you and me?"
"Well," Omega starts, finishing off the last of the dummies, "Aurora has always had an interest in balancing out its power, but we can't do that with any random warrior. It's against the laws of the Aurora to accept random, untrained warriors. The warriors here must have a certain aura, or be very skilled to enter Aurora. If not, they will be immediately expelled from the kingdom. The only way we can accept those other warriors is if we defeat another kingdom."
"Speaking of defeat," Oichi says, poking fun at their previous encounter with Ignis as she does so, "how much time before we launch our attack?"
"That depends how fast the servants can load up the Rapidash," Omega speaking with a grin, "or Zebstrika, if you prefer." The two laugh, and go to get their belongings together.
About an hour later, they set off, Oichi on Rapidash, Omega on Zebstrika. They pass through a small stretch of woods, through the meadow, and finally come to the river, dividing Aurora from Ignis. The two hesitate, knowing that they could be attacked the moment they cross the bridge. Finally, they cross, and continue on. Soon, there is a drastic scenery change, as the fields begin to spark and burn all around, and volcanoes sprout up like weeds.
They eventually find the edge of Ignis' village, and watch the peaceful day. Small fruit stands and little kids playing with a ball. As soon as the duo is spotted, the villagers immediately run into their homes, and you could hear the harmony of locks and shutting windows. After a mile or so of that, the tip of a gleaming red and gold palace could be seen on the horizon. The two were very confused as to why they hadn't been attacked yet, to the point where it actually bothered them. However, they continued their approach, cautiously as ever. Eevee was restless on Omega's shoulder, and Jigglypuff nestled itself deep into Oichi's arms.
Finally, they heard it. As loud as thunder, you could hear what sounded like a conch signal. In an instant, the two were under a sea of flaming arrows.
