Last time of The Awakening...
Light and co. had just been asked to get rid of the monsters lurking in the ruins. Before they departed, Cooper had found a book having some basic spells in it. Aqua decided to teach Cooper some spells for the ruins trip. What will happen in the Ruins? Find out now!
Light had woken up a lot later than he usually does; Aqua was already up making some… sort of breakfast. Light yawned and turned over on his side, he was still a bit tired, he wanted to sleep a bit more- but was woken straight up when he saw that Lily was sleeping right next to him.
"GAHH! WHAT THE HECK LILLY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO SLEEP RIGHT NEXT TO ME!" Light yelled as he jumped out of his bed. That woke Lilly and Cooper straight up. As soon as she woke up, she gave a innocent smile.
"I'm sorry Light you just looked too cute when you're sleeping.." She got up and hugged Light, Light proceeding to blush.
"Can you forgive-"
"Puppy eyes won't work on me; never has, never will."
"Phooey!" She said, as she realised Light and began to pout. All three boy sighed.
"She's hopeless…" Cooper said.
"Guess you'll have to live with he liking you all the time.." Aqua said.
"Yea, I gues- HEY!" Light said.
After they all settled down, they ate breakfast; made by Aqua , which was Cooked melon, baked potatoes, and a cookie for each of them.
"Wow Aqua, I didn't know you were such great cook!" Cooper said, as he bit into a melon, and spat out the seeds.
"It's nothing to brag about, I've made better dishes back at the castle. Anyways, let's pack up our things and be on our way." They all nodded, finished the rest of the food, pack their things, and went to go find the guards. They left Lilly's house, went to go find the elder's hut, most likely the guards will be at her house, protecting they made their way through the village, several people stopped and shaked all of their hands saying: "Praise the gods fo brinigng you here… Please, will you b able to fix the Ruins? …" And many other things. Most of the children running stopped and stared at Light, Cooper, and Aqua; amazed at the weapons they were holding, and some of them even went up to them and asked to hold their weapons. After what had seemed like an hour for the hut, they found it, and as they predicted, the guards were guarding the gate. They went up to them, and held their spears in front of the opening.
"Stop where you- oh, it's you three, and Lilly. You all ready to enter the ruins?" The soldier asked. They all looked at each other, and then nodded.
"Very well. Let's go then." The soldier said, as the other one went behind them, and they walked off into the forest.
They had been walking for what had seemed like a half an hour, when suddenly, mist started to surround them. The soldier continued to walk without hesitation, and stopped at a fork in the path, each going the opposite direction. The soldier stopped for a moment to see which way they should go, then they continued down the right path. After a few minutes they came to another fork in the road, this time having three separate ways. Once again, the soldier paused for a moment, and then went down the middle pathway. After another half an hour of walking, the fog cleared out, and it became very bright. They came out of the woods, and came to sort of a plains. Except, it was covered in debris that was covered in moss. Light looked around at the different types of debris that covered the area around them. There were statues that half of it was on a pedestal, and the other on the ground in pieces, and covered in moss. Pieces of what looked like columns lay on the ground, as if it were hit with giant object. After walking through all the debris, they came to the ruins entrance, which was covered in mold and vines. But for what it was, it looked like a jungle temple entrance from vanilla minecraft.
"Alright you four, there's some sort of monster that has infested the ruins. We need you all to head in there and destroy who or whatever's inside of there. We'll be outside guarding the gates while you're in there. Alright? Then go on in!"
The soldier pushed them all in, and they all headed down the stairs. As they continued down the steps, it kept getting dimmer… And dimmer… Until it was almost impossible to see.
"Here, I got this, this will lighten this place up a bit!" Lilly said, as she grabbed something out of her inventory, and casted the spell:
"Holy Light!" Suddenly, a giant light engulfed them, and when he opened his eyes, it was entirely bright down in the ruins. Light then looked at Lilly to find her holding a white staff. The staff had a bright blue orb on the bottom, and the top had a bright pink crystal with two sides that looked like claws holding it in place.
"Whoa… is that your weapon Lilly?" Cooper asked.
"Yup! It's my white mage staff! I don't do offense, I help on the sidelines and help you that way! However, I do have a couple of spells that help in battle."
"Great, that will help us a lot in battle-"
"Whooooooo put ooooout ooour darknessss!?" A voice hissed, as Ligh saw five shadows turning a corner, all being spiders… that were unfamiliar to Light except one of them. The middle one, who seemed to be the leader, was a normal spider he'd seen in normal minecraft before. The other four seemed unfamiliar to him. The two behind them almost looked like centipedes, except 10x their normal size. One of them in the front right, it looked like a normal spider as well, except it was orange, and had giant pinches that looked like they could snap your body in half. The other on the left was the same, except it was green, and had some sort of tank filled with green slime on its back.
"Sssssoooo! Tressspassers! Trying to sssteal the sssssacred blade that destoooyed us looong agooo? Well, we woon't let yooou! Attack!" The normal spider raised one of it's legs signaling for them to attack. They all came charging at once, two of them on the floor, and the other three on the ceiling. Lilly stayed about 5 feet behind them, while Ligh, Cooper, and Aqua got up close and personal with them. The two centipede that were on the floor joined together, and made a wheel of sorts, and game charging at them. Aqua ran at them full on, while Cooper and Light dealt with the other three. Aqua raced toward them neither of them showing signs of slowing down. But at the very last second, Aqua jumped, and used his two blades to grab the sides of them, and throw them against the wall. They crashed right into the wall, dizzy for a couple seconds then, came charging at him separately.
"Aqua, here! Strengthen!" Lilly said, as Aqua suddenly glowed a fiery red. The two centipedes stopped for a moment, then came charging at him again, but this time, Aqua didn't move as they were drawing closer to him, suddenly, a bright spell circle appear around him, and his hair stood on edge.
"All of those who are willing to meet death shall feel my WRATH! MYSTIC WHIRLPOOL!" Suddenly, giant waves came crashing into the two centipedes, and kept them under water, Aqua then, suddenly dived into the water, and Light and Cooper could see the whole thing. The centipedes, were drowning underwater, and Aqua was closing in on them, looking like he was walking on water, and finally came to the centipedes, and hacked and slashed at both of them, being a pure blur as he did it as well. He stopped with both of his swords behind him, then snapped his fingers. Suddenly, both of the centipede exploded into a hundred pieces, and the water settled down. All of them, even the spiders were staring at Aqua in awe.
"What? Is there something in my teeth?"
"R-retreat! We must inform the Queen! They're coming to us!" The main spider screamed, as they all scampered away.
"Aqua… How did you"
"It's My Mystic Mark. It's a spell or move you can only use when you've reached your limit. As you continue to fight in battles, you can use them once you see a bright white mark on your hand. Then, and only then can you use it. Also, there are many Mystic Marks inside that you can learn. That was just one of mine, I have about three others that I can perform. Anyways, we should be on our way, we need to reach whoever this "Queen is before they do. Also, we need to be cautious when traveling through here, who know what kinds of soldiers or traps they have set here…" Aqua said, as he walked down the hallway the spiders went down, and the other three followed behind him, still stunned at what happened just then.
Who is the Queen? Will anybody be able to show their Mystic Mark? Find out next time on THE AWAKENING!
