Chapter 6
Unknown location
The fires tore the mighty planet. The ground quaked open with tremendous force. Starmen appeared everywhere and began a ruthless assault. The planet was under siege by the forces of Giygas.
Paula watched the destruction of paradise. Frightened adults and children ran from the terrifying forces. Buildings crumbled, towns were leveled and cities annihilated.
Paula couldn't believe the devastation. In only a few minutes a once healthy planet had been torn down to a lifeless rock. But the destruction was only a memory. For Paula now sat on the aftermath.
A lifeless hunk of rock flying in space.
"Was this once the fate of Earth?" She asked herself. Had this once been the fate that awaited Earth. The fate that had been prevented by Paula and her friends. What had happened to the others?
Before she had been wisped to this world Ness had been laying unconscious on her couch. Somehow touched by the power of a rebuilt Mani Mani Statue.
Paula knew that staying here would not do her any good. She continued towards the far off city. She continued to the unknown.
Dalaam
The Master felt a deep sorrow within his heart. Prince Poo's heart had been infected with a deep darkness. Even now it was coursing through his veins. Slowly corrupting his soul.
The Master walked back to the Prince's room.
"I must leave for a while. Take care of the Prince." He said.
"Where are you going?" One of the servants asked.
"I can only save that the Prince's life depends on it. Perhaps the entire world." The Master returned to the throne room. The last known location of the Mani Mani Statue was at Jackie's Café in Fourside.
The Master began to quickly whirl around in the room. Then he suddenly disappeared.
Fourside
The night was rather frightening here. The Master felt another deep chill as he looked at the night sky. He quickly ran north to Jackie's Café. The Master was relieved to see the Café was still open.
When he walked inside the bartender gave him a slight nod. He walked over to the bar.
"Do you remember what happened to the statue that used to be hiding in your storeroom?" The Master asked.
"Yeah. Some guy bought it a few days ago. Couldn't tell what he looked like though. He kept his head covered with that weird blue cape. Gathered the shards and took out here pretty quick. Why do ya ask?" The bartender said.
"That statue is important to me. Do you have any idea where the buyer was from?"
"Guy had kinda of a northern accent. Similar to my cousin's. He's from Twoson. Perhaps he from around there."
"Thank you very much." The Master left some money on the counter and walked out. He only hoped he could get to Twoson in time.
Twoson
Ness's head ached. Once again he had woken up from the nightmare of Magicant. He quickly recognized he was in Paula's house thanks to her parents standing over him.
"Where's Paula?" Ness asked. Paula's parents shook their heads. Suddenly the door slammed open. A brilliant flash of lightning revealed a hooded stranger holding a paintbrush.
"BLUE!" The stranger called in a familiar voice.
What mysteries will Paula discover on her mysterious world? Will the Master recover the Statue? And who is the Paintbrush wielding stranger. Find out next time in The Seed of Giygas Chapter 7!
