Isiah: What up? Isiah and Tom here.
Tom: What's up everyone!
Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Ending Nightmare. Now last chapter, Mateo confronted Nightmare and her goons on her airship.
Tom: And it ended with Shuriki magically throwing him far from the airship.
Isiah: Now the question is, where exactly did Shuriki throw him at?
Tom: Well we sure won't find the answer in the author's note. Heh heh. Let's move on.
Isiah: Right. Let's go.
Tom: And hopefully not post the wrong chapter or a different story.
Isiah: Oh, true.
"Where am I," Mateo asked himself as he got up from a rocky path. He dusted himself off and looked around to find trees surrounding the sides of the pathway.
"Elena? Elena," Mateo called out but no one answered. It looked like there wasn't a single soul in sight as well. He then let out a stressful sigh and began walking the pathway.
As he was walking, he had many thoughts in his head. Starting with the whole thing with Duke Cristobal's death. Shuriki and Nightmare played me and Elena for fools, he thought to himself. They knew Avalor would be the first to respond to a Nueva Vista death. Then they thought they could get a easy target on us when we arrived over to the scene.
Ten minutes of walking past before Mateo saw sight of a huge rocky mountain. With it was the continuing of the pathway he was on and a sign pointing towards the way up the mountain. He sighed at this and said, "Maybe I'll get a view of where I'm at if I go up this path."
Going up the Mountain
About halfway up the mountain, Mateo began seeing sights of dead demons laying in the pathway. He gave out a confused look saying, "Funny, I don't remember killing these guys."
Just when he was about to keep walking, Mateo heard a crazy laugh and quickly turned around with his tamborita in hand. He saw a man with a tamborita climbing up the mountain as well.
"That's because you didn't kill him fella. I did," the man said.
"Who are you," Mateo asked.
"A demon fighting wizard like yourself. The name's Fox," he revealed his name.
"Okay...Fox."
"So what brings you away from the Wizard Islands," Fox asked.
"Wait. The Wizard Islands," Mateo said curiously.
"You mean to tell me you haven't heard of the beautiful wizard Islands," Fox asked.
"Nope. Can't say that I have," Mateo said.
"Well mister, up this mountain lies the mysterious Wizard Islands. Made by wizards, for wizards," Fox explained rising up Mateo's curiouscity more. "Why don't you go up there and check it out."
Mateo thought for a moment before speaking up. "I'm actually suppose to be finding someone, but maybe I'll have a look."
Mateo finally reached the top of the mountain moments later and found a small elevator surrounded by more dead demon bodies. He looked at them for a moment but decided not to question them and step in the elevator. As soon as the doors closed slowly in front of him, the elevator started pushing Mateo up away from the top of the mountain.
In Nightmare's Spirit World
Nightmare was in her magic chamber regaining her dark magic when a demonized Shuriki kindly interrupted her.
"Demon Carla has been fully revived Nightmare," she admitted before letting Carla and Victor enter the room. Nightmare just looked before letting out a smile saying, "Good. One less thing off my chest."
Shuriki nodded before turning over to Victor. "Have you checked this spirit world's core heat tempature Victor?"
"Of course I have. Unfortunately it's not that good," Victor said. "It dropped a good 650 degrees while we were in Nueva Vista."
"What?! That's impossible," Nightmare walked over to one of the windows and looked outside. "Goddamn that wizard boy. I should've killed him while he was still wounded during our first encounter."
"He has caused quite the ruckus during his encounters with Darkness as well," Victor pointed out.
"Indeed he has," Nightmare walked over to her demonized servants. "And to be honest, I've about had it with him."
Shuriki stepped up to Nightmare and asked, "However shall we fix this Nightmare?"
"How do you think I want you to fix it?! Get some of the our soldiers and destroy him," Nightmare demanded.
Victor and Shuriki nodded before heading out the door but Carla had an idea in her mind. "What if we were to...say...make a good use out of him for your spirit world's core instead of killing him," she spoke up.
Her words ran through Nightmare's head quickly and told Shuriki and Victor to come back. She then turned over to Carla and said, "I'm listening."
Unexpected Confrontation
Elena, Gabe, and Naomi were in one of the islands looking for Mateo when they suddenly saw something land in front of them. Gabe quickly looked over to see it was a dead demon of Nightmare's.
"He's close," Gabe nodded at the demon.
"Here we come Mateo," Elena rushed over to the direction the demon came from. They scattered though the woods for a moment before finding an adult woman fighting a horde of Nightmare's demons before getting overpowered. Elena, Gabe, and Naomi quickly came to the woman's aid and helped her fight off the horde before turning to the woman and immediately knowing who it was.
"Mrs. Ash Delgado," Elena said with a look of seriousness.
"Princess Elena," Ash greeted back getting up slowly.
"What are you doing out here," Naomi asked taking a step forward and Elena kindly stopping her.
"Getting my ass ambushed by these demon creeps," Ash said. "What about you guys? What's a pair of friends like you three doing out here?"
"Pretty much the same, except we're getting jumped by their leader," Elena answered.
Ash let out a gasp and asked, "That damned Nightmare wants you guys dead too?"
"You know Nightmare," Elena asked as shocked as she was.
"Come with me, and I'll explain everything," Ash said walking the opposite way of Elena and her friends with them following her.
To be continued...
Tom: I'm actually curious on what Ash has to say about Nightmare.
Isiah: So am I dude. We hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Before we get to more of this story, I wanna do a random fun story since we haven't done one in a while. So be on the lookout for that.
Tom: On that note, please don't forget to leave a nice review. No hateful or rude comments please. As always, we love you guys. Thanks for tuning in and supporting us everyday. See y'all later. Holla at your boys! Yeah!
Isiah: As always, until next time.
