Yes, I'm alive. I know it's been around half a year since my last update, and I'm sorry for that.
However, I've gotten my computer fixed, so I'll be updating more now. Come summer, I'll be updating
a LOT more unless plans change.
Also, my bro read what I have of this story, and suggested I cut down on POV changes. As for all
the different groups, they will be put condenced fairly soon.
Starting this chapter, I have the last group of OC's that the story will be following(yes, I do in fact
have a plan for all of these OC's!). However, I will probably need to make one or two more in the last
few chapters of the story(don't worry, I'm nowhere NEAR that point yet).
Now, I'm sure you're eager to read more, so here's the next, long awaited, chapter!
~(Chapter 49, with Kevin's group)~
The last of the giant frogs and aincient automatons in the area had quickly been demolished,
tied up, or blown up, and those that weren't looked like they had been put in a blender on the highest
available setting.
Then came the matter of introductions...
Kevin spoke first, "I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of people, but I don't recognise you."
"..." The newcomer in green remained silent.
"Well, I know this one!" Cyndle stated, hugging the girl who fell from the sky. It was quickly noted
that the two appeared exceedingly similar. "This is my twin, Haven."
"Ah." "I see." and "Oh." were said by Kevin, Zack, and Juliette in an incomprehensable jumble.
'Can't they hear me?' Zero asked. -It would appear they do not. Shall I speak for you?- 'That would probably help.'
"The one before you in green is called 'Zero'." Everyone, minus Kevin, jumped and looked around for the voice.
"Our translater is strapped to Zero's back." Kevin deadpanned.
Cyndle, Haven, Zack, and Juliette spent the rest of the day wondering how Kevin knew that.
~with Elesis' group~
The magic wall approached ominously, despite its refreshing blue/green color.
"It's in range. For me, at least." Said Raven.
"It has been for a while for me, but it'll be easier to hold back the closer it is to me. Plus, the move Elesis will use
is very close ranged. We'll have to slow it down if she's going to be able to help." Aisha.
"She's right. I just hope we can drive it back." Said Elesis, a bit worried.
"Well, either way, now's the time to start. Guardian Strike!"
"Right, Aging!"
Raven emitted some sort of aura for a moment before lifting his mechanical arm, firing a brown beam towards the wall while Aisha gathered a mass of dark energy, then firing it towards the wall. Aisha's prediction was accurate, and as the wall approached, Elesis finished focusing her energy.
"Vertical Sla-... wha...?" Elesis began as the wall suddenly disappeared.
"Good. Whoever cast that spell used a dispell in the last few minutes." Aisha explained.
"Oh.-insert annoyed emoticon here- Well, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THAT EARLIER?" Elesis screamed.
~Fourth OC group~(1)
Somewhere on Elia...
A girl of about fifteen, with a black braid reaching her mid back, light gray "T"-shirt, black skinny jeans,
and a shortsword on her left hip, snoozing in a tree was awakened by a thud.
"Whew. Paige, you need to stop running off on your own like this. The monsters around here would kill a
lone person without a second thought!" Said a small sumo wrestler dressed like a Scottish samurai with a tetsuba.(2)
"*yawn* Yeah, yeah. Whatever Aaron... Where's Lucaas?"
"Right here. Don't worry Aaron, I've been here the whole time. The only thing that could have happened is if she were to fall from the tree, and seeing as our friend here is a calm sleeper, I estimate a 05% chance of that happening. She wasn't in any danger to begin with." Said someone whose 4' 8" body betrayed his age. He wore yellow armor with blue streaks that was, well, there's no way to describe the armor.(3)
"Good. We can't let you run off and die. There are probably others like you here- don't you want to find them?" the one called "Aaron" said.
"*sigh* I suppose so. Alright, next stop, that big honkin' ominous looking castle!" Paige's companions sweatdropped.
"Are you sure? That doesn't sound like a good idea..." Aaron suggested.
"Probability states that there is a 99.99999% chance of going there being a bad idea." blanked Lucaas.
"Well then, I'll bet on the one in ten million chance of it being a good idea!" Paige stated, earning looks of
disbelief from her companions.
"Ayayeaye... don't say we didn't warn you." Aaron stated.
"I won't! How much you wanna bet?"
"If it turns out to be a good idea, then we will owe her 99.99999% of all that we have, that being only fifty coins from me. Seeing as 99.99999% falls short of 100%, I would give 49 of my coins. Should it turn out to have been a bad idea, and we survive, you would collectively owe us more than you have." Lucaas deadpanned.
"I don't gamble." stated Aaron.
"Okay, then it's my word against Lucaas'." 'Hm...' Paige thought, looking downwards, noticing her one possession aside from her sword and clothes. "I'll call your wager. You win, you get my necklace."
"Fair enough. Gold of that quality is not easy to find in this day and age. The bet is on." Lucaas agreed.
And so, this small group headed towards what we, being outside of the story, know to be Kaze'aze's castle, and,
as Lucaas put it, a "99.99999% chance" of certain doom.

I'll do that within the next week.
Yo. Good to hear from me after a seven month disapearance? Yeah, sorry about that. Anyways, don't be surprised if I don't update for a few weeks as I'll be busy as anything with homework.
