Okay... chapter 3 is up. Sorry for the long delay since FanFiction.net was having an overhaul and it was our exams and now that I failed it all (really!!), I can go back to writing. By the way, he's right. Prose for does seem to be better. Also, I fast forwarded a bit the labyrinth combat scenes since i'm not that good at combat parts.
Some sucidal tendencies on the part of Rue. Please R&R that section!! ^_^
-----------------------------------------
A lone carriage stops in front of West Zyldavia castle. Out steps the group, hoping to meet with the King and find a way to revive their lost beloved. As they enter the castle, they are barred by heavily armored soldiers, telling them to go leave immediately. Confronted with such, their hope of a way of salvation dimmed. It would be rekindled when the Chancellor arrives and urges them in to meet the king.
"Princess Maya!! We have benn expecting you!! Please enter and meet His Magesty."
With new hope, they enter the magnificent Castle, almost as good as East Heaven Kingdom. Upon arrival, trumpets and choirs erupt in unison to greet the visiting Monarch, who then begins to converse with the King.
"Lord Farzon, it is good to see you well! We are grateful for letting us into your prescence."
"Please, off with the formalities. It is us who should be grateful for your visit. So, my queen, why have you come to our small kingdom?"
"You know doubt know about the secret library underneath your castle?"
"The Library of Ezethiel? It is blocked by a large metal door from our side, and from a note we found, it can only be unlocked from the other side. But in order to do that, one must go into the labyrinth, which has claimed many a soldier that we have sent in in an attempt to open it."
A sense of worry overcomes the group. They worry to each other if they can even make it inside, or if they'll even survive. As they discuss other possible options, Rue steps up to speak.
"My lord... we lost something very dear to us. We have travelled around the planet, searching any for any possible clue, no matter how vague it is, in an attempt to at leats find hope to get her back. We've battled so long so hard just to find a way. She saved my life many times, and it's time for me to repay it."
"I see..... I admire your courage. Okay, I let you through..... tommorow. Sleep well tonight and prepare for it. You still have one night to think about it. Good night."
He leaves the throne room. The chancellor leads them to the royal guest suites where they may rest for their trip tommorow. Of course, the boys in one and the girls in another. Inside, the boys talk about their good fortune. Klaus started the conversation.
"What good fortune to be able to enter the great library at short notice! Who knows what lost knowledge we might gain."
"I don't know..." retorted Prima. "The King said they already sent so many warriors, yet none even made it back? Heck, we might even end up like them! Well.... what do you think Rue?"
"......"
"Rue??"
"........You guys stay here. I'll be the one to enter tomorrow."
"WHAT!?!?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY" They both said.
"Look... that place is a virtual deathtrap. If someones gonna get killed, at least it's just one of us. Besides......"
******** Rue's Mind ********
Death.... it deals such sweet sorrow. Ever since then I just wanted to die. Ever since I felt my life lost all it's meaning, all it's happiness. Ever since I felt afraid to love again. Ever since.... I would have just killed myself. Love.... it deals both pain and respite. I.... didn't wanna love again. I didn't want to go through all that sorrow and anger. I hated myself and everything that I was. I lost yet another who was more important to me than myself. I felt that the pain infinitely crushes the joy. I believed that... if I died, I could see her in the afterlife, and maybe find comfort from the tragedy that was my life. But.... She... even through all the physical and emotional pain, she never succumbed to wanting of a quick end. She wanted life, to live it, to enjoy it, to love it. What would she think if I lost all hope and died today??
******** Reality ********
Losing the will to talk, Rue went to bed. Klaus and Prima, knowing what he feels and that he needs rest for tommorow, go to bed as well.
******** The next day ********
It was time. Rue, packing his Arc Edge, some food and some medicine, approaches the door accompanied by royal soldiers. He bothered not to wake up his freinds, knowing they'd be worried if he entered alone. As the light of the castle begins to illuminate the insides of the labyrinth, Rue steps inside to fight again.
******** Inside the Labyrinth ********
About an hour and a few dozen monsters into the labyrinth, Rue sees an open room filled with maybe around hundreds of charred bodies and skeletons. The stench annoyed him, and tries to go forward.
"Damn... What the hell did this??"
A few rooms later, he sees some monsters who suddenly charge him. Rue jumps up and cuts the first monster in 2. He lunges forward and thrusts the Arc into 2 more. As the bodies collapse, ground begins to shake like an earthquake. He advances into the great room, and sees a great giant creature, with 4 horns, nasty rotten teeth, huge claws and breathes fire (Author: OKOK!! that was a generic boss creature). Seeing this, Rue dives to the side as the creature smashes its fist to the Ground where Rue stood and maniacally shoots fire around. Looking to the side, Rue sees the door to the castle and the door to the library.
"Crap.... outta my way!!"
He looks on top of the monster and sees a large crystal on it's head, much like his.
"I see. I just need to find a way up there. Wait.... got it. But I just have one try."
He stands motionless, waiting for the monster to strike. With all it's force, the monster strikes the gound, sending dust and debris flying. As the dust settles, nothing remains where Rue stood but just soil. The monster wonders what the hell happened. Then, looking at his hand, he sees Rue clinging to it. Rue then lunges his entire body and weapon at the crystal.
"Take this you bastard!!!"
Striking the crystal with all his might, it shatters. The monster makes a huge howl, enough to shake the moon and even rattles the castle. In a fury, it collapses, and slowly disintigrates.
".....Sorry, but I have to do this."
Rue then slowly lifts off the the bar that blocks the door. Opening it, Claire suddenly comes out of nowhere, hugging him. After that... she slaps him in the kisser.
"You Fool!!! Why did you go on there all alone!?!?! You could have been killed."
"I...uhh....ummm.....errr...."
"Well.... nevermind. Your safe, and that's all that matters. But don't ever do that again." She smiles.
Rue smiles back, and coming back to his senses, he motions the others to follow him. The soldiers then break the lock of the library, and the group, full of enthusiasm, enters.
-------------------------------
Okay! It's done!! R&R okay!!! Now all I need is to find out if I'm gonna repeat High 3 or not.
BTW, i personally feel my chapter one is the best.
