Previously, on My Silver Story~
"Angel's one of the members of the Order of the Stone?!" Petra cried out, looking at the picture. "But that can't be possible, we just found her today!"
-Nothing is what it seems-
Lydia the Acrobat, whose flexibly and strength inspired both fear and awe in all. Said to have disappeared shortly after the Ender Dragon was defeated, 15 years ago. No one knows where she is.
'15 years ago, the exact age of Angel.' Lilly frown, 'Could it be that she left because of her pregnancy?' She flew off of Jesse's shoulder and began looking for anything that shouts evidence. 'I need to look into this more carefully.'
-But-
Um...I don't know how to start this.
Should I introduce myself? So... My name is Angelina, but most people call me Angel.
Kim give this to me as a Christmas present.
Like literally, he threw it at my face and told me to write in it.
I swear, that boy is too much sometimes.
Well, I guess this thing is useful. I'd probably fill this with doodles or maybe little notes and stuff.
...I'm talking to a book.
Angelina~.
-No truth be hidden forever-
Jesse blinked, before opening the paper and began reading it out-loud, "'My dearest friend, I have great news. I found a nice home and met the love of my life. His name is Luis. I miss all of you, but the pressure between everyone was too much for me. But I will always love you all. Anyways, I've married and give birth to a girl a few months ago, and she's been an absolute angel. She has silver eyes and blonde hair like me, but she's energetic, selfless, and stubborn, just like her father. You should of seen her when we tried to dress her up for a wedding. I have to feed her her favorite food in the end. Her name...is..." Jesse faltered a bit, her eyes widening as her friends gather around her, before slowing picking it back up, "Angelina Amari Pham. I hope to see you again, Ivor. Love, Lydia.'"
-Not even the most hidden ones-
"Awesome!" Jesse shouted, handing the Amulet to Petra before she, Olivia and Rueben began making their way to the stairs, when a noise cut through the air.
Lukas look over to the giant hole, "Uh, guys?" They all looked towards the hole, their eyes widening. In front of the sun, far in the distance, was the Wither Storm.
"Please hurry."
~Will Angel and Axel find Magnus in time? Or will the world will be destroyed?
Find out next time on My Silver Story~
BoomTown
"We're almost there! Don't worry!" Gabriel shouted to an unconscious Angel in his arms. It was noted that Angel was a few shades paler and if you roll up her sleeve, the mark was an inch longer. He finally reached the temple and started banging on the door.
"Who does there?" A voice came up from above, and he look up to see Lukas looking at them with a bow in hand. His eyes light up, "Gabriel! Angel!" He popped out of sight, and the door opened, the blond standing in it with a big grin on his face, "It's fantastic to see you!" When Gabriel didn't smile, Lukas's eyes trailed to the girl in the warrior's arms, his grin fading, "What happened?"
"Is Jesse here?" Gabriel asked, ignoring the blond's question.
"Um.. she and Olivia went off to get Ellegaard. Why?"
Gabriel shook his head. He'll tell everyone once they arrived. "It's nothing." He said. "Angelina got bitten by a cave spider. Is there any milk?"
Lukas nodded and ran off, coming back with a bucket of milk, "Here."
Gabriel took it and dump the contents into Angel's mouth. Immediately, her skin went a few shades darker, but she was still very pale. Her eyes fluttered open, and she groan, making Gabriel put her down, only to be literally lifted off the ground immediately after.
"You're okay!" Axel yelled happily.
Angel let out a whine of protest. "Axel, I appreciate the hugs, but ribs..." She eked out.
"Oh, sorry," And then he dropped her. Literally, he let go of her and dropped her a full feet back to the floor. Luckily, despite her Wither Sickness, she managed to land on her feet due to her reflexes (and being a part-time superhero), but she did stumbled a bit. (Remember, Angel is short. Axel is two feet taller and lifted her off a feet off the ground XD)
Angel patted herself down, before Lukas reach out and pull the much shorter girl into a gentle hug. (Lukas is 5 inches taller) "Still, it's good to see that you're okay."
Angel let out a shaky laugh, before pulling herself away, "Where's Jesse?" She asked, "And where's Olivia?"
"They went off to get Ellegaard." Lukas replied, "And Axel here really wants to get Magnus."
"And we can go now!" Axel said excitedly, jumping up and down, "Come on, Angel!"
"I don't think that's a good ide-" Gabriel was interrupted when Angel rushed away to the stairs.
Angel rush up the stairs to see Petra sitting down, staring at the Amulet. Axel, Gabriel, and Lukas followed behind her as Petra turn around. She brighten up and and smiled, "Angel! Gabriel! You're alive!" Petra shouted in joy, running over to hug Angel, who yelped.
"I just woke up and you guys tackle me with hugs?" Angel joked weakly. "At least give me time to process it."
Petra let out a little laugh of her own as she hand the Amulet to Angel, before squinting her eyes on the blonde, "Hey, Angel, are you okay? You're really pale.."
"Oh, I'm fine," Angel said dismissively, putting away the Amulet, "What I'm worried about is you guys. Are you guys okay?"
"I'm fine!" Petra spread out her arms, grinning ear to ear, "No broken arms, legs, or any injuries. Wish I could say the same for you."
"Petra, am I correct?" Gabriel asked, stepping up. When the redhead nodded, he continued, "Why do you have the Amulet with you? I thought I give the Amulet to Jesse."
"Ah, L-" Angel stepped on Petra's foot. "-Olivia found something that could track the rest of the Order. So they left it here."
Gabriel raised his eyebrow when Angel stepped on Petra's foot, but shrugged and went over to the map. Angel pull Petra away from Gabriel and give her a stern look, "Didn't Lilly told you NOT to tell anyone about the Miraculous's history?!"
Petra sheepishly snatched the back of her neck, "Sorry, I forgot."
Angel roll her eyes and remove her hands from Petra's shoulders, "Apology accepted." She said, "Just don't slip up next time. It's very important that the Miraculous remain a secret. Not even the greatest heroes can know."
Petra nodded, seeing the seriousness in the situation, "Got it."
Angel let a smile form on her lips, before Axel pop up behind her. "Come on, Angel! Let's go get Magnus!" Axel said, grabbing the blonde by the arm and literally dragged her outside.
"Wait, she isn't in a good-" Gabriel begin to protest. But it was too late. They already gone outside, "-condition." He finished with a deadpanned tone. Petra and Lukas shared a look. What was that about?
Axel threw his arms in the air as they zoom away in the minecarts, "Woooooo-hooooo!" Angel, who was sitting in front of him, look over at him. Seeing her look, Axel said, "Aw, come on, Angel. You're not even having a little fun?" He threw his arms in the air again and yelled, "I mean, I am!"
"Okay, Axel." Angel said. "I know you're having fun and all but what the heck is going on? Why did you drag me to get Magnus instead of Petra or Lukas?"
"I just thought it'll be easier to get Magnus with you with me." Axel said as he put his arms down, grinning, "We actually found out there are two other members of the Order..."
"And...?"
"One of them is Ivor." Angel blinked in surprise as Axel continue, "And your mother is the other." Angel's mouth dropped as she stare at Axel for a few moments. Axel waited for her reaction, raising half of his unibrow when Angel sat there like a statue. "Um, Angel? Are you oka-"
"WHAT!?"
"Okay!" Jesse said as she and Rueben reached the top of the hill, turning around to look at Olivia and Ellegaard, "Just a little farther!"
Ellegaard climbed to the top and saw that the entrance was slightly improved. "Well. That's certainly impressive. Wow."
The all jumped down and ran towards the temple, stopping at the entrance. And then a creeper walk towards them.
"Gah!" Jesse cried out, before it got killed with six arrows and dropping dead in a white cloud of smoke, "Whoa!"
"Who does there?" Lukas demanded from the top of the entrance, "Jesse? Is that you?" He blinked, looking at Jesse with disbelief.
"Lukas, did yo build all of this?" Jesse asked, her eyes practically glowing.
"Well, yeah. I figured I would try and fortify the place, y'know?"
Jesse look up at him with a shy smile, "Awesome!"
Lukas turn slightly red, "I-I-I, um, I'm so glad you're back!"
"And we brought Ellegaard!"
"Fantastic!" Lukas shouted happily, doing a little dance, which made Jesse laugh. He pop out of sight, and opened the door as the others made their way towards him, grinning from ear to ear, "You guys are never going to believe who showed up while you were gone."
As Jesse entered the building, she spotted Gabriel leaning against the wall, grinning weakly.
"Gabriel!" Jesse exclaimed happily, running over to him.
"Hello everyone." The warrior said, smiling. "It is.. good to see you."
"He showed up not too long before you guys." Lukas said, closing the door.
Gabriel turn to Ellegaard, "Ellegaard. My old friend." He said, before pulling her into a hug.
Ellegaard chuckled, "Boy are you a sight for sore eyes. Maybe with you here we actually stand a chance against whatever this thing is."
"How I've missed your optimistic spirit." Gabriel smiled. Then he turn to Jesse, "And it's especially good to see you, Jesse. I feared that you might be the last face I ever saw."
"It's such a relief to see you." Jesse told him, "I'm glad you're okay."
Gabriel smiled slightly, "If Petra hadn't pull me out of the Wither Storm's clutches... Well let's just not think about that." He turn around and started walking away, the rest following, "I came here to the Temple, hoping against hope to find the other survivors. It makes me glad that, even in these terrible times, this Temple can stand as a stronghold. A symbol."
"What about Angel?" Jesse asked, feeling horror replace her happiness, "Did she make it too?"
"She went off with Axel a while ago." Gabriel replied, sighing, "She's fine."
"Angel?" Ellegaard raised an eyebrow, "As in, Angelina?"
"Yes...?"
"Oh Gabriel." She chuckled, "Haven't you heard from Lydia's letters? This 'Angel', is Lydia's daughter."
Gabriel stared at her for a few moments, his jaw practically hitting the ground. "WHAT?!"
"Calm down, calm down." Axel said, patting her back, "We were surprised too."
Angel stared at him with wide silver eyes, "My mother... is one of the members of the ORDER OF THE STONE?!"
Axel winced and rub his ear, before looking at the blonde, "...yes."
"Okay. Okay." Angel said nervously, leaning back in the minecart while rubbing her arm. Luckily, Axel didn't notice, "This is obviously a dream. A very realistic dream. Oh g- Notch, someone pinch me." Axel complied. "OW! Not literally!"
Axel lean back and cackled as Angel smacked him playfully. Once they calmed down, Angel sat there and think. Should she tell Axel about her Wither Sickness? Or should she not? Nah. She doesn't need another person to worry about her. That's when Axel's eyes widen and pointed ahead of them, "Uh, DUDE?"
Blinking, she turn around, only to see a very angry Ghast ahead of them. She groan, "Oh, sugar honey ice tea." The Ghast shot a fireball at them, and Angel, acting out of pure instinct, pull out her sword and swing her sword like a baseball bat, smacking the fireball away and killing the Ghast.
Sighing, she put away her sword and turn around to see Axel looking at her with a grin, "You were awesome, Angel!"
"I just smack a fireball away with my sword." Angel said dryly, although she was smiling.
Axel just waved it off, "Yeah, but with that Ghast... this is, like, the perfect warmup for when we get to Boom Town!"
Angel's smile faded into a confused look, "Boom Town?"
"Yeah! Boom Town!" They shot past a sigh with rainbow letters that said, '!BoOmtoWn!'
Angel twisted around to stare at the sign, "Whoever wrote that sign has unusual grammar. Must... fix..." She jokingly reached for it, making Axel let out a bark of laughter. The blonde girl grin at him, but it looked a bit weak thanks to her Wither Sickness.
Angel stepped out of the portal, only to fall due to lack of ground. "Whoa!" She yelped. Luckily, she managed to land on her feet, only to stumble a second later. She turn around and saw that the Nether portal was being used as the O for the giant sign that read 'BoOmTowN'. Axel walked out and nearly landed on top of Angel, who slide out of the way just in time. "You okay, Axel?" She asked, holding out a hand for him.
"I'm fine," was his muffed answer, before he took her hand and pull himself up. The two turn around and ran forward to take shelter beside a destroyed building.
"Be careful, okay? One wrong step..." With that, they began making their way to the corner, only for Angel's foot to step on a tripwire and triggered TNT below them. "...crap," was all Angel could say, before grabbing Axel and jumping out of the way of the explosion. She quickly grab Axel and ran as more explosions started going off. She kept running until a griefer ran towards her with a block of TNT above his head.
Angel quickly hit the ground as the griefer leapt over her and exploded. Literally. Wincing a bit, Angel got up, only to see a griefer above her with an evil grin, holding an egg. Right when he threw it, Angel duck into a roll, a chick appearing on the ground.
Angel ran down an alley, coming to a stop when Axel appeared, "Whoa." He said, "Did you see that?" He look over the ruined city, where two griefers can be seen throwing TNT at each other. "Utter chaos, man!"
The blonde blinked and turn around, her eyes widening, "This is BoomTown?!" Angel exclaimed, gapping at the sight in front of her.
"Pretty sweet, huh?" Axel said, grinning.
"Ah ha, no."
"Well, this is BoomTown, in all it's glory!" Axel said, "It's like I've finally come home. These are my people."
Angel gave him a long look, "Axel, I don't think this place is a good place to live. This place is absolutely crazy!"
"You're being too small-minded, Angel. This is awesome!"
"Oh my Notch, Axel!" Angel groan, covering her face with her hands, "You'll think a poisonous potato was awesome if it had TNT strapped to it!"
Axel developed a thoughtful look on his face. "...well, can't deny that."
Angel remove her hands from her face and point at him accusingly, "Don't you dare do that. Don't you dare."
Axel just cackled as Angel roll her eyes and rubbed her arm. This time, Axel noticed, "Hey, is your arm okay?" He asked, raising half of his unibrow.
"I'm fine." She reassured him, "I just bump into a cave spider on the way to the temple."
Axel nodded, but he didn't look like he brought it. Angel's going to have to get another excuse. That's when she spot a banner of the Amulet. Narrowing her eyes, she pull out the Real-Amulet, with the green bar glowing brightly.
"Dude, it's freakin' glowing!" Axel exclaimed. Then he realized something, "Where'd you get that?"
"Petra give it to me before you drag me off." Angel said simply, turning to look at him.
Axel's eyes widen, "Um... Angel?"
Angel raise an eyebrow, "Yes...?"
"Your eyes are glowing."
"What."
"I mean it, your eyes are glowing. A bright green color too."
Angel's eyes went wide, "...Really?"
"I'm serious, they are glowing."
Angel took out her locket and opened it, looking into the small mirror inside. Indeed, her eyes were glowing a bright green color. "The hell?" She mumbled, looking at her reflection.
"I know." Axel agreed, "This is weird and awesome."
Angel gave him a look, before turning back to the Amulet. "Anyways, I think I saw the Amulet glowing when it was near Gabriel." She said as she point the Amulet to a certain direction, watching it glow brighter. She carefully move the Amulet around, watching as it glow brightly in certain directions.
"Maybe a little to the left?" Axel suggested. "No, the right. I mean your left. Right. I mean, your right. About left."
Angel sent him a withering glare, but he remain unwithered, so she dropped the glare. "Axel, you're stressing me out with that." She moved the Amulet towards a tall black tower with huge chunks taken out of it.
"Whoa!" Axel gasped from shock.
"Huh, looks like we found Magnus." Angel mused, but also gaining unwanted attention.
A girl with blue hair in pig tails, a pink shirt and a black mask over her eyes jumped down from one of the building and looked at them with a mischievous grin. "Hey there, new people."
Angel's expression immediately became more guarded and her shoulders straighten up, ready to run if it comes to that, "...and you are?"
"You, ah, you said you know where Magnus is?" The girl asked, ignoring Angel's question. "All the griefers here in Boom Town want to find Magnus, y'know."
Angel narrow her now glowing green eyes as she moved the Amulet into her back pocket, "Just leave us alone okay? It's none of your business."
"Hmmm. I'm afraid to say that you're just making me wonder even more what the heck is up with that thing."
"What's going on?" Another griefer appeared. And then another. "Nohr found some noobs with a thingy that can find Magnus." Another griefer responded as they all jumped down and walked towards the two.
"Angel..." Axel said in an anxious tone.
Nohr turned around and glare at the other griefers, "Bunch of scavengers! This drop is mine!"
Angel let out a long sigh, making everyone presented look at her, "So we're new to BoomTown. I bet you think we're scared by your skills and expect us to be doing whatever you want and say." She said in a light tone that was obviously dripping with sarcasm, "Nope. No thanks. We're in a hurry to get Magnus and because of that, I have one thing to say to you all." A pair of wings made of water appeared from her back, surprising the griefers and Axel. Angel grinned, lifting one hand and waving cheerfully, giving them a bright smile, "Au revoir! (Bye!)"
She grabbed ahold of Axel and flew away, ignoring the shouts from the griefers. She flew them over to the roof of a house that was farther away from the griefers and landed, gently dropping Axel as well. Axel, who was in shock the whole time, turn to her, his jaw practically hitting the ground, "I thought you said you couldn't use your abilities!"
"I can't attack them." Angel corrected as the wings disappeared. "But because I'm still bonded to my Miraculous, I can summon water wings."
"Awesome!"
Angel smiled a bit, forming a serious look, "Let's split up so it'll confuse them."
Axel nodded and grin, before running off to a different direction. Angel sighed a bit as she pull out a hoodie and put it on to cover her eyes, before summoning the water wings again and flew off to a spot where there were no rooftops anywhere nearby. She landed a moment later, rolling forward in a perfect parkour roll before running towards the black tower.
She didn't get much farther when Nohr suddenly popped out of a doorway near her. "Hey, know what the best time of the year is to visit BoomTown?"
Angel sent a deadpan glare at Nohr, "Lemme guess, winter?"
"Yup!" And Nohr flipped a lever. The sandstone beneath Angel gave away, and the girl yelped as she dropped into the deep hole, landing on her feet (again). "No way out of there, dingus!" Nohr cackled, pulling a ladder out of her pocket. Only to forget that Angel can fly and is now flying away. "Hey!"
Angel landed on a building and onto another ledge, before leaning against the wall and grabbing her arm, panting a bit, sweat running down her forehead. It seems using the wings drained her. A lot. Wiping away the beads of sweat from her forehead, Angel quickly continue running, only to see Axel a few blocks below her, "Axel! Magnus is somewhere in that building above us!" She panted, "He's gotta be close!"
"Then, quick! Toss me the Amulet!" He shouted, startling Angel. Axel made a frustrated noise and gestured his arms at the griefers, "You're surrounded by griefers and they're gonna tear you apart!"
Angel bit her lip, glancing at the griefers approaching them, before tossing the Amulet to Axel, "Just try not to get hurt." She said pleadingly as her eyes turn back to silver.
Axel gave her a lopsided grin, "Hey, don't worry about me. I got this. You just keep them distracted." And then Axel run off.
"At the top!"
"Yeah, that's where I saw 'em."
Angel quickly took off, before nearly tripping over a pile of eggs. Her frown turn into a grin and scoop up the eggs, "I love a good table-turning. Egg-cellent." She ran up some stairs as the griefers rushed after her, before hurling one of the eggs at the nearest griefer, which smacked him square in the chest and knocked him backwards to the other one, knocking the two of them off.
Angel kept throwing eggs at the griefers, knocking them all back before running up the next set of stairs, although the griefers were soon back on her tail again. Reaching the top of the stairs, she found a block of TNT. "Well, hel-lo, opportunity~" She sang excitedly upon finding the TNT, before picking it up and cluck it at the stairs, blowing the griefers off the stairs. Angel was going to be blown back a bit, but thanks to being Flutter, she managed to keep her footing. She went up to see the results of her TNT-tossing and winced, "Sorry!" She shouted, before summoning the wings again and fly towards the black tower while coughing a bit.
Upon reaching the tower, the wings disappeared, and she tumbled violently on the ground in front of a wide-eyed Axel, "Whoa! Angel, are you okay?" Axel asked as he help her up.
"Yeah." Angel reassured him, "I'm fine. The wings just take up a lot of energy." Axel frown a bit, but before he could ask, Angel interrupted him, "Do you have the Amulet?"
"Course, I totally rocked it." Axel told her proudly, pulling the Amulet out of his pocket.
Angel eyed the arrow in his knee, "...one sec." She crouched down and pull the arrow out of Axel's knee, making him let out a hiss of pain, before tossing it to the side, "I don't have a potion of healing, so you're going to have to walk on it for a while." She told him.
Axel waved it off dismissively, "It's fine, but thanks."
Angel gave him a thumbs up, before turning around and walk towards the door, "Magnus, here we come!"
Once they reached the door, the two looked at each other and shrugged, "Huh. Maybe it's, I don't know, locked or something? That's a thing people do to important doors, right?" Axel asked, unsure.
Angel roll her eyes, before walking up to the door and knocked on it. She'd just knocked on it the fourth time when the doors banged open, startling both of them. Axel grumbled a bit, "Fine. Knocking worked. For once."
Angel frown a bit. This was too easy. Way too easy. She's been through many akuma attacks, simply sneaking in always at least have booby traps, anything. She suddenly felt a nudge on her back, making her turn around, "You going?" Axel asked.
Angel only gave a simple nod and walk inside the tower. Okay, something's definitely wrong now. Because the minute they walked in, some trapdoors beneath them swung open, causing them to fall. Yup, always trust your instincts.
Axel and Angel's screams filled the air, before they landed rather painfully on the ground. The blonde hissed from pain and grabbed her arm, wincing a bit as she rolled up her sleeve to glance at her arm, before pulling it back down.
The two got up and tried get across the pathway when someone armor walked out, "You are completely surrounded by hundreds of hidden death traps. One step closer... and KABOOM!" The guy pulled a lever, and a sand block popped up to reveal a TNT black beneath.
Axel took a step black and Angel flinched and topple on the ground, nearly falling straight into the lava in surprise. Angel groan, before pulling herself back up and nearly met the eyes of the bald man's eyes behind the black mask.
"It's Magnus! We totally got caught by Magnus!" Axel said excitedly. But upon seeing the look Angel was giving him, he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "Er... I think we're going die now."
Magnus sneered at them,"Did you really think you could sneak up on me? Ha! You're two of the worst griefers I've ever met."
"It's because we're not really griefers." Angel said dryly.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, sure. Because let me tell you, that guy-" he point to Axel. "-he's got griefer written all over him."
Axel seemed touched by this, "Man, you don't know how much that means to me."
This caused Angel to give him a deadpan glare, before turning back to Magnus, "He's not a griefer. He might look that way, but I promise- He's harmless. Except maybe when it comes to his friends. Then he's dangerous." Axel sniggered at that.
Magnus simply give an amused smirk at that, "Riiight. So tell me something, 'Not Griefers.' How'd you find me? Who are you working for?" He asked, walking back to the levers. "You're working with someone?"
"Gabriel sent us." Angel replied (keep in mind, Angel still has the hoodie on. And that Axel still has the Amulet).
Magnus laughed at that, "Gabriel? You're seriously telling me you're buddy-buddy with Gabriel?"
"If you count running away from the Wither Storm for our lives then yes." Angel muttered sarcastically so that only Axel could hear. He smirked at that.
"You know how often people try and tell me that one? This is all sounding pretty weird, dudes." Magnus flipped a lever, and the TNT blocks shot out of the way before exploding, leaving the way clear. Angel tentatively approached him as Magnus pulled another lever and more TNT shot onto the path. "Who are you really? Why are you here?" He put his hand on another lever, but didn't pull it. Yet, anyway, "I want answers. Now."
"The world is being destroyed." Angel said quietly.
"You have me intrigued. Go on." And Magnus flip the lever, making the TNT launch and explode.
Angel slowly walked forward, making sure there were no more TNT. "There's a huge monster eating up the entire world. Nothing can stop it. Gabriel told us to reunite the Order. Magnus, you've gotta come us. You might be the only chance we have."
Magnus shake his head and flip another lever, making more TNT pop out. "Give me one reason why, for even a second, I should come with you." He told them, walking up to a ledge, "I am the ruler of this place. I keep the disorder!"
"BoomTown." Angel started, "this place you've built up and are known for... It's about to get destroyed. But if you come with us... We can still stop this."
Magnus turn away and looked down, "All this... stuff you've told me... you expect me to just take your word for it? Two strangers with wild stories. And nothing to say for it."
"Are you that paranoid? Do you really not trust anyone?" Angel asked slowly.
"It's how I've survived this long."
Angel look up at Magnus, "That sounds lonely."
Magnus looked away in response, but didn't say anything.
At the moment, Axel spoke up, "Please trust us. If you don't trust me, trust Angel." With that, Axel took Angel's hood and slowly lifted it to show her eyes. "Because she's the daughter of your old friend."
Magnus's narrowed eyes widened and didn't do anything but pull a lever, making the TNT fly side ways and explode, leaving the way clear. Angel gently took off the hood and stare at Magnus, who stared back. There was a long silence where Magnus and Angel were staring at each other and Axel looking between the two of them.
Angel shallowed and quietly whispered, "Magnus?"
Suddenly, Magnus was across the floor and literally scooping Angel off her feet into a hug, the smaller female letting out a shriek of surprise, "Hey Tiny! Nice to see you!" He cheered, his grin practically splitting his face.
"Ribs..." Angel eked out.
"Oh, sorry," and he dropped her. Literally, he suddenly let go of her and dropped her a full eight inches back to the floor. Unfortunately, she wasn't expecting that and sprawl out onto the floor with a groan. She barely gotten up, when the rogue pull her up to her feet and started looking her over, "Wow... Lydia was right." Magnus said, surprised, "You're her exact replica!" He laughed and threw his arms in the air.
Angel smiled a bit nervously, before forming a serious look, "Mothers aside, we need your help. Are you in?"
Magnus was silent for a moment, before finally sighing, "You sold me the second I saw your eyes. I'm in." With that, Magnus removed his hands off of Angel's shoulders, "Oh, but we might have a little bit of a problem getting out of here."
"Why? You're Magnus." Axel said, puzzled, "You can just walk out of here."
"Hello!? I don't know if you've looked around this place, but it's kinda full of griefers!" Magnus told them.
"But... that's kinda awesome. Right?"
Magnus huffed and crossed his arms, "No! You've heard the whole 'Challenging the King for His Crown' thing, right? It's like their thing. So as long as I'm King, I can't leave this tower. Not as fun as you might think. I mean, hey, I do get to spit on their heads occasionally, so I guess that's something."
Angel sniggered at that, before suggesting, "Maybe choose a new king. Or, queen. Whatever. Then you can come with us."
Magnus shook his head, "That won't work, I've beaten them dozens of times, none of them are worthy - they'll see right through it. But you... you're the mysterious newcomer with the silver eyes and the daughter of one of the members of the Order of the Stone. By now. there's sure to be all sorts of rumors of how awesome you are. If you can beat me, then I'll be able to leave!"
Angel's face went completely blank for a moment, before a smile came over her face, "I guess that could work..." Then her smile wiped off, "Yeah. but assuming I won, wouldn't I be stuck here then?"
Magnus brush it off, "Nah, you're not as legendary as me. Should be easy enough to throw another fight or just give up the crown with way lower level griefers. The trick is, don't become a legend. But I highly don't that won't happen. You're Lydia's daughter, you have her skills according to her letters."
If he hadn't turn around, he would of seen the flash of hurt in Angel's eyes - he almost did. But he didn't. "Ohhh this is going to be good. I'm actually excited about this! But we gotta make sure it looks legit." He turn back around. "The Death Bowl has never seen the carnage we're about to create!"
"What's the Death Bowl?" Angel asked, going sickly pale.
To be Continued~
Next time, on My Silver Story~
Angel scanned the area with wide eyes, Axel did the same, but with an excited face. "This is the Death Bowl!" Magnus loudly announced.
Fear~
"So, Tiny. Welcome to the Death Bowl." Magnus said, turning to the blonde.
And Trust~
Angel's face went completely blank again, before answering, "Just follow my lead. And try to make this real."
Can't last forever~
Angel turned around and stared in horror at the sky, "No." She whispered, taking a step back, "No." She took another step back, "Not again!"
Not even-
"Holy, CRAP!" Magnus said, his eyes widening, "Is that your Wither Storm?!"
Hope~
Angel's eyes suddenly roll to the back of her head, and she collapsed on the ground.
A Girl-
Lilly crash into Angel, sobbing as the blonde gently hugged her back.
A Kwami-
"Nice to see you too, Lilly." Angel said, smiling a bit.
