Chapter 7 ~ The Brightwall Reliquary
I had a change of plan, most people keep their fan fics close to the story line. I have decided to make mine different. Yes it will keep the promises made and whatnor, but how their journey progresses will be different.
All the ideas in this story were created by Myself or yes, I am using a typewriter.
Rowana woke up first, she saw a parcel next to her and Yenea, there was a letter on top.
"Hey, Yenea, I think Logan has replied" Rowana woke her up
" Um?" Yenea cracked open an eye, She sat up and yawned. "Let's open it after the reliquary quest"
"Good idea, let's go!" Rowana smiled, Yenea groaned. But followed her sister, Chicky and Jacob stayed with the parcel and letter, making sure no one would touch them.
"Your guild seal, that is the key to open the doors" Samuel told the girls, Yenea placed her seal in an indent in the door. They heard all sorts of clogs turning, Yenea withdrew her seal, and stepped back . They watched as the doors swung open.
"Ready?" Yenea asked
"Ready" Rowana nodded, the twins headed into the mysterious Reliquary.
Cool, look at these books! I bet no one has read these! " Rowana traced a finger over the dusty books.
"Yeah, I have an idea" Yenea said
"Uh? And what idea is that?" Rowana looked at her
"What if we make this Academy our base!" Yenea grinned
"Definitely, but we better ask Samuel first. " Rowana told her
"I know that" Yenea rolled her eyes. They continued walking through the reliquary, but stopped, they reached a ledge, a chamber was across a few hundred feet drop. A blue symbol floated in the air.
"What's that?" Rowana ask
'That is flit switch, you hit it with maleen weapons, such as your sword and hammer. ' the girls heard Jasper say.
" Er... This is the only one right? " Yenea said
"No, come to the sanctuary, I will show you." Jasper told them. The girls looked at each, both pulled out their seals and teleported to the sanctuary. "There are 3 types of flit switches, all are explained in here." Jasper tapped a page.
"Oh Jasper, can you find a way to allow us to show our seals, without holding them? "Rowana asked, Took their seals
" I will see what I can do" Jasper went off to a room with a coat hanger symbol.
"Let's read" The two girls sat next to each other and read about the 3 flit switches.
A little while later, Jasper came back in as the girls finished reading.
"Rowana, is this satisfactory?" Jasper passed her seal vack and she noticed it was now a pin.
"Yep" Rowana pinned it to the coller of her leather jacket.
"Yenea, how is this for you?" he handed Yenea a belt, which had her seal.
"Fine with me" she put it on, and fitted it in a diagonal way. "Yep, it is great, thanks Jasper!"
"You are welcome, princesses." Jasper bowed
"We should go, I don't know how long it will take to get the treasure" Rowana said
"Good luck" Jasper said, as the girls left the sanctuary.
" Yenea you can have this switch" Rowana smiled, Yenea rolled her eyes, she took her Hammer in her hands. Swinging it, the Hammer head smashed into the flit switch, in a sparkling shower of sparks, the switch vanished on impact, the ground trembled as a walk away slid into place. Rowana watched amazed
"That was pretty cool!" Yenea grinned, Rowana chuckled, they began up the walkway. Yenea placed her Hammer over her shoulder, she had a feeling she would need it.
They stopped just outside the chamber, Rowana seemed a little unsure.
"I'll go first" Yenea said, getting her Hammer ready, she slowly entered the chamber, nothing happened, until she got to the middle. Yenea turned to her sister. "Come on Rowana, everything is fine!" Rowana was about to follow but she froze as a skeleton rose behind Yenea.
"Yenea..." Rowana said, her voice shaken.
"What?" Yenea asked, confused look on her face.
"Er..." Rowana pointed behind her, Yenea turned as the skeleton rose its weapon to slice Yenea in half. Yenea was quicker to react, she brought the Hammer over her head and brought it down on the skeleton. It's skull shattering into dust, the rest of its bones scattered around her. When it vanished, two blue lights dove into the ground, two more skeletons rose up. Rowana drew her rifle and shot one in head, causing it to crumble, Yenea smashed the other. The two girls began fight of the skeletons.
The girls stood alone, having had defeated all of the creatures.
"I hope there isn't any more..." Yenea sighed heavily. She cursed it, they had to fight more as they ventured deeper into the reliquary.
They finally entered a chamber where they didn't have skeletons launching at them banishing weapons.
"Jesus!" Rowana groaned "Who the fuck had the idea to give zombies swords and guns?"
"They are skeletons, Rowana." Yenea told her "But I second that"
"What's that over there?" The two girls looked a beam of light in the centre of the chamber , they approached it. Yenea was the first to see what it was.
"A magic Music box... Wait, didn't Mom have a magic music box? " Rowana ask
"Yeah, she did... I think this be the treasure Sabine wants us to get " Yenea said, Rowana nodded and picked it up, the light vanished and a white portal open
"Go into the light" They heard Theresa say. The did as they were told and went into the portal.
"Well done, you have completed one of the quests Sabine has given you. The guild seal showed what you are, reaching the music box shows what you can become." Theresa smiled
"Great, we can read Logan's letter now" Rowana said, Theresa stopped smiling.
"Yeah, if that is all" Yenea nodded, she looked at Theresa, who had vanished, a portal was there to take them home. Excitedly, the girls ran into the portal.
They appeared in front of a rather flustered Samuel.
"Oh, Princess's, thank goodness. Some one has stolen your parcel, they dropped the letter" He gave Yenea the letter " Your pets gave chase"
"Let's go Yenea! We need to get my books!" Rowana raced out of the Academy, Yenea was hot on her heals.
"Over there, by the gates!" Yenea pointed out a man who was holding Rowana's parcel, with Jacob biting his trousers, trying to pull him back. The man had his hand around Chicky's neck, who was clucking crazily.
"Hey!" Rowana raced to him "That's my parcel!"
"Yo... It isn't" The man said flustered, A guard went over. The man dropped Chicky, who ran over a watched from Yenea's side.
"Do you even know what the parcel is?" The guard said
"Books" Rowana and the man said
"What books?"
"Twilight, new moon, eclipse, breaking dawn and the short second life of bree tanner" Rowana told him. The guard opened part of the parcel, than passed it to Rowana. He took hold of the man's arm.
"You're coming with me." The guard dragged him off, Rowana and Yenea chuckled as they headed back to the Academy.
"You have got them, well done!" Samuel was pleased.
"Hey, Samuel, can the Academy be our base? " Yenea asked
"Of course" Samuel nodded, the girls high fived each other, them went into the room they had stay in previously. Yenea opened the letter and began to read.
'My beloved sisters,
I was over joyed after receiving your letter. You asked if I was a hero, unfortunately no. I share the hero blood yet any powers are dormant .
So, you have met the king of the mountain, I agree, Sabine is a strange man, but I have heard he is incredibly strong. He will be a good ally. I cannot blame you if you hate me for what I have done. I cannot tell you in fear you may become targeted... '
"Targeted? By what?" Rowana asked
"Let me finsh reading, we may find out." Yenea told her
'I wish you all the best in your quests, I know you will do well.
Things are hectic here at the castle, Reaver is causing problems. I think you will find Reaver an interesting figure, Mother knew him.
I can't wait to hear more about your adventures, and when you get home. I will tell you about the adventures I have had. I have something for both of you. Mother got them for you, for when you turn 18. On your birthday, please return to the castle. We can celebrate, Walter can come, so can your godfather, Major Swift. I can't wait to see you two again.
Lots of love
Logan. '
"We turn 18 in 2 months , don't we? " Rowana asked
"Yep, should we finsh the rest of the quests before writing to him again?" Yenea looked at her
"Yeah, cuz we need to find Walter..." Rowana began.
"After we have a rest, all that fighting has tired me out" Yenea told her, Rowana chuckled and agreed. Chicky and Jacob had already gone to sleep. The twins smiled at their pets and the girls began discussing their dear Godfather, Major swift.
