Legends of the Terralands
Episode 3
For a hot sunny day, I never expected to have knowledge of this before in my life! A few days after Julio visited, I found another wandering traveler. The traveler was a light blue humanoid fox, they had an adorable face that made you want to cuddle it, a red sweater and a pair of jeans to look stylish. The fox's name was Cyan Kitsune, he's traveled most of the Terralands and has had experience in trading special goods with other survivors. I talked to him about "vlash morp cadium", the adorable fox facepalmed and chuckled. "That's a warp command, you can travel to other people and other places with things like these. That Julio guy must have gone to the stadium for competitions."
My brain could be summed up as a clear sky without a cloud in sight. I simply couldn't understand this special magic. Cyan wanted me to try it out, but I complained about my home's safety. So the little fox walked over to my bed and told me to try "slash set home" right where he was standing. When I said it, nothing happened. He told me I can warp back to that spot whenever I wanted, no matter what the case was. This meant I can poof back to the safety of my home whenever I wanted. Cyan suggested I came with him to the "Battle Arena", he thought I would be capable of battling the other survivors that were looking for fun.
Me and Cyan warped to the Arenas. From the hallways of the entrance to the arena itself, I felt intimidated by people with axes, bottles of chemicals, and swords sharper than mine. Before the arena is a machine that won't let us in by an iron gate. Cyan told me that I had to register my name before entering. I simply told them my name: Sapheros Lucidus. The gate opened and some fanfares blared out to the empty audience stands. Out of nowhere, a voice shouted, "A duel between Sapheros Lucidus and Cyan Kitsune has begun!" I had to fight my only good friend!? Cyan glared at me with a serious look, took a deep breath, and drew out his bow.
In panic, I started dodging the bows, only to get cut in my hip. Then, Cyan drew out his sword, it was shining with a mix of colors that I have never seen before. Cyan dashed towards me, trying to slice me with his sword. I rolled to the right and pulled out my silver sword. I couldn't tell if this was fun to not, but I revolted. "So you wanna fight fox boy? Bring it!"
Cyan threw out his sword to slash me, I dodged and tried to counterattack, but he defended himself with his sword. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle, it was full of chemicals that looked threatening and was seeping with misfortune.
Cyan was about to throw the bottle at me, I had no choice but to take it. The bottle broke, but it didn't touch me at all. It hit the floor, but then, I began to feel ill, the effects of the bottle were filled with poison. I started coughing and got weaker, my knees trembled before my enemy, and I almost fainted trying to get back up.
Cyan drew out his sword, he was going to finish me. I didn't know what to do, I was disappointed that I was going to die by my own friend, well, I didn't know if I could call him a friend. But Cyan simply poked me with his sword, and the round ended. I was still alive and the poison went away. Turns out I instantly healed and managed to walk out without a scave. Cyan told me that arenas are perfectly safe, you can leave not hurt, and you get wonderful prizes for home. Cyan won 20 gold bars for beating me, I felt jealous, but relieved that I was still alive.
I warped back home and had Cyan warp through "slash warpto" which I accepted. At that time, night came, and monsters scattered on the plains. Me and Cyan drew our swords and got busy taking out those monsters, stabbing the deformed, damaging the undead with healing chemicals, and taking out aviators with the bow and arrows. But a little later Cyan had to leave, so he handed me an object called the "PM". It is a device that can let me contact him wherever he is. He gave his farewells and warped away. While I was laying in bed, I wondered how life changing these events are, knowing that there is so much more to do than surviving!
Maybe… Tomorrow could be different...
