Xakinera- Thanks, Gone is one of my favourite songs too. Chapter 2 was quite good, wasn't it? I'm 13, so thanks for the encouragement! This chapter is kind of boring, but I need to get it in here. It would make things a lot easier to understand about Trogola.
Btvsfifi- thanks, Flowertot! Appreciate it! Oh and thanks for the mention on your story! Love ya!
Strayphoenix- yeah, I know it took me a while to update this time, so sorry. Anyway, short reviews are better than no reviews, so thank you!
Vanilla Ice Cream Rocks!!!- DEAD doesn't really fit in with this story, sorry! Maybe another one that I am writing, so keep your eyes open!
Sorry it took so long to update! It was school holidays so I was busy everyday, and I didn't have time to write it up! Sorry! I'll give you a bit of feedback so you will remember what happened. And seeing how no one gave me any suggestions for a song, this chapter won't be a song chapter. Just a normal chapter, Okay, and Trogola is 16!
Chapter 4: Trogola's past.
She flew up and lifted the rock underneath Caleb. He stumbled backwards so she let out a beam of green light and hit him in the stomach, making him shoot backwards. He landed on the floor with a thud. He opened his eyes, lying on the floor. That's it. Cornelia's gone.
Trogola stared in awe at the black-haired guardian and the way she fought. Although, it wasn't really much of a fight- Caleb still refused to fight Cornelia. He was dying; everyone in the room knew it. As Cornelia was finally about to take Caleb out once and for all, Trogola flinched and made her stop.
"Cornelia, stop! I- I need some time with him, then feel free to do what you want. OK?" Cornelia looked back, her now jet black eyes shining with pure pain and hatred behind a mass of black hair. She was confused and looked back at Caleb, who was on the floor breathing heavily, staring at her. Although, he couldn't for long, he couldn't look at the thing that had taken over his angel. If he had to choose between her being evil or dead, he would choose dead. She smirked and put her arm to the guards as if to say 'bring the guardians with me.' They obeyed her command and dragged the other girls out of the room.
Trogola walked over to Caleb and bent down so they could make eye contact with each other. Caleb laughed as he spat out some blood.
"Wow, she sure seems willing to do what you say. It's not just her looks and powers that you changed, you changed her personality as well," Caleb looked Trogola up and down, "And her taste in boys!" Caleb managed to sit up, but it was painful. Trogola looked at him sadly. "Caleb, I didn't do anything to your 'precious' Cornelia. Nerissa did, I just tagged along. I swear I didn't know what was going to happen." Trogola pleaded as if he was trying to get his older brother to not tell anyone about something wrong he had done. Caleb looked at him with a confused expression in his eyes. "So, where did you come from, then? What's your story? How'd nerissa find you?" Caleb interrogated.
"So many questions, Caleb. Now I know which side you get your habit to not stop talking. From your mother!" Trogola smirked and stood up. Caleb stood up to, but he was still in pain. "What do you think you know about my mother?"
"Oh, quite a lot, like she's Nerissa, and that, for 12 years, I was led to believe that you were my brother." Trogola smiled at Caleb, who was clutching his stomach in pain, and looking seriously confused. Trogola hinted for Caleb to sit down, so he did.
"So, you want to know about my life? Well, OK. It all started when I was born. I wasn't planned, you see, so my real parents didn't want me. I was left outside to die. I don't know where exactly I was born, but I remember I was in a… purple forest. When I was about 4, I decided to venture around. Just roaming outside, finding out about life. It was then that Nerissa found me. Back then, I think she had just been relieved of her duties as guardian…"
(Flashback)
… Nerissa was walking through the Zamballan forest, mumbling to herself, which was her usual behaviour after something bad, had happened. In this case, however, two bad things had happened. First, she was sacked from her job as a guardian. "Stupid Oracle. Thinks I was misusing magic. Just because I used the Heart to give me a child rather than it being born… ugh. That little thing I called Caleb in disguise as the Mage. Julian will never know that the Mage was Caleb's mother, well, I am his mother. I discussed it with Julian. I don't want him. I want a… an abnormal child. One that can use its powers to help me fight for evil, and destroy the guardians! And seeing how I'm in Zamballa, I suppose I should start with Kadma!"
She carried on walking until she heard a little whine. When she wasn't hearing things, Nerissa walked towards the sound. There, she found a baby boy, about 3-4 years old. She smiled evilly, "Hmm… he will do for a minion. I will raise him to be bad. Let's see, no demon eyes, no sharp claws… but what if I create demonic features? I can create extra arms… if the Legend of the Guardians continues; I'll probably need at least five, and if they have any sidekicks, I'll give him six arms, well, four extra ones. That'll take care of most foes. Yes." she picked up the toddler as if he were one of her own children. "You are my child, and you will be called… Trogola"…
(End flashback)
"… and she raised me as if I was always her child. I don't know if the 'my parents didn't want me' story is the true reason as to why I was on my own, but it was the most feasible answer I'm gonna get. For the first 12 years, I was led to believe that Nerissa was my mother, and that you were my brother, Caleb. But a couple of days ago she told me the truth about where I came from, this place called Zamballa, I still don't know who my parents are, but I don't even think Nerissa knows for certain. I was so happy to have someone that cared for me, that I didn't know what lies were told and what the truth really was! I mean, she lied to me for 12 years, and even though she cared for me and took me in, she lied about who she was. Who I was! So since then, and since I started working undercover as a rebel, I started turning good. I started opening my eyes and seeing how I could make a difference! I swear to you, I never wanted any of this to happen!
There is a spell that will give Cornelia back to you, but it's risky. There's a chance that she, or one of us… could die for doing this." As Trogola said these last words, Caleb looked at him with fear in his eyes. Forget what I said earlier. I would much prefer her to be alive, here, with me. I don't want her dead! She can't die. Not again. I can't lose her again.
Trogola seemed to know what Caleb was thinking. "We won't lose her. You are going to get her back." He was talking to Caleb calmly as if he was his brother, or half-brother.
Cornelia was brought back inside the room, along with the other guardians. They were still tied up. Cornelia walked towards Caleb, but he was ready for her. She had an evil glint in her eye, and she was still carrying her smirk, but Caleb and Trogola were one step ahead. The two kinda-brothers had come up with a plan. Trogola had walked outside to 'give them some space' while he was actually finding the book that contained the spell. When he found it, he stood outside the room and recited the words of the spell. (The words will be in German- the translations will be at the end. It's actually a weird poem I made up.)
"Zurückgekommen zu mir, befehle ich dich,
Zurückgekommen zu mir, also kann ich dich speichern,
Ich kämpfe für dein Leben,
Ich kämpfe für deine Ehre,
Ich bin dein Held,
Dein Ritter in glänzender Rüstung,
ZURÜCKGEKOMMEN ZU MIR!"
A flash of white light filled the entire palace. The guardians shut their eyes tightly and Cornelia tried to escape it, but couldn't. Caleb saw it coming and hid, even though he didn't need to.
When everything went back to normal, the guardians looked at Cornelia, who seemed to be having a fit…
Next time:
What happened to Cornelia?
Will she live or die?
Will Nerissa be happy?
Is Trogola going to pay for his actions?
Quote of Next chapter:
'I might as well put you where you came from, YOUR GRAVE!'
Wow. Not as long as I thought it would be, but I didn't expect it to have as much detail as it did. Well, what did you think? Too long? Too short? Not satisfied with it? Flames allowed, but not ones like 'Go die, then try writing a story in the next life' that Btvsfifi got because that is bang out of order because she is a much better writer than me. Now, the translations:
Come back to me, I command you,
Come back to me, so I can save you,
I will fight for your life,
I will fight for your honour,
I will your hero,
Your knight in shining armour,
COME BACK TO ME!
OK, that's the poem I made up. Kind of lame, but I'm not very good at poems so you can tell me how rubbish it was. PLEASE REVIEW! I NEED THEM! I love the amount of reviews I've got already, so thank you everyone that has given me one. Bye! I'll try to update soon, I promise!
