Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: The same as everything else. Haven't you gotten the idea by now?
This.....this place used to be a beautiful city. Now, some kind of strange tower is all that there is. I have to fight back tears. How could this have happened? Ashton tries to hold me, but I have to push him away. This isn't the time. We have to stop all this. I hope he understands.
"Don't worry Celine. We are not far from ending this." Ashton says. Why is it then, I don't see it ending? We cautiously approach the building.
"INSERT IDENTIFICATION CARD" Huh? What was that? It didn't sound like a person's voice. Claude walks up to it and inserts a strange piece of material. "ACCESS GRANTED" What was that?
"Claude, where did you get that?" Dias asks. Claude turns to us.
"The shopkeeper in the colony had it." He responds. We enter the tower. And before we can take 2 steps, we are attacked. The monsters in here are tough. It takes a while before we are able to defeat them. We look around on this floor, and Leon suddenly runs up to a statue.
"This has a letter on it..." He says. We make note of it, and then head up the stairs. We look around on this floor. As I am checking out a side section, I find a nice looking bracelet. I use one of the spectacles to check it out. It doesn't seem dangerous....so I put it on. We head into another room.
"Ummm..guys?" What is it now Precis.... "Where did this diamond come from?" Huh? I look in the bag, and that is not the only thing we find. More blueberries, some other jewels, and some paralysis checks. How did all of this get here? This is strange. There are no shops here, so no one went on a sudden spree.
"Hey Celine, where did you get that bracelet?" Opera asks me. I point into the room where I found it. "Can I see it a moment?" I take it off and hand it to her. She inspects it a moment. Then she just shrugs.
"You have strange tastes." Rena says. I groan a bit. Ernest is looking at it now. Why would he be interested?
" 'Ye who wear this charm shall attract good fortune to thyself and thy friends'. Well, that may explain a bit." What?! Does it really say that on the bracelet? I thought it was just a jewel!
"Cool!!" Precis is happy about anything. Bowman is ready to leave now. We all head into the next room. There is some kind of tube thing. We go up into it. Somehow, we are brought up into another room. This is strange. There is some kind of statue here, but different from the others we saw coming up. Claude goes up to it. He presses a few things, then some kind of card comes out. Claude turns to us and just shrugs. We all head into another one of the tube things. But this time, we have to figure out where to go next. Somehow, we all vote on going left. Claude inserts the card we just got into a slot, and the pillars just disappear?! I have got to find out how they are doing that. It looks like the others want to know too. We go in and end up at a dead end.
"Well, this was a great move." Ashton comments. Something is wrong here.
"Why do I feel like I am being watched?" I ask. Dias has his sword out. I still think he is paranoid. Bowman looks ready to fight also. So why is it no one else..Ashton just pulled out his swords. It looks like just about everyone has a weapon ready.
//COME....IN........// What was that?!
"What?" Rena is confused also.
//THIS ....IS...CALNUS....SGN..CLAUDE...NNI...// Claude seems to be almost in shock!
"Claude?" Rena asks.
//PREPARE...EMERG....BEAM......10 SECONDS....//
"Damn!! Not now!!" Claude !? What is happening!?
"Claude!!" Rena cries.
"Are they trying an emergency beam-up?" Opera asks. I look at Opera and Ernest. They seem to know exactly what is happening. It must not be good if they are reacting like that. But.....what is beam-up?
"Stay back!!" Claude shouts. He runs to the center of the room. Then some kind of bright light shines from where he is and blinds us. When my vision clears..Claude is gone. Rena runs to where he had been standing.
"Claude.." I don't really know what to do now. What kind of magic was that?
**about an hour later**
"Rena.....he's gone." Opera says. We are all a bit grim. He's gone, just like that. I still can't believe it. I am leaning against Ashton. He is shocked also. Precis and Leon seem like they are lost. Bowman and Dias just stare where Claude was standing. Opera and Ernest are talking quietly about something.
"Rena..." Dias finally says. "We have to get going." Rena sighs, but doesn't move. Dias just shakes his head. Before anyone can do anything else, the bright light comes again. This time, Claude is standing there when it clears. Rena runs up to him.
"HOW COULD YOU RUN OFF LIKE THAT AND WORRY EVERYONE!?" she yells. I slap my forehead. I'm not sure if they love each other or hate each other. Claude just sweatdrops.
"Sorry.." he says. Rena is fuming.
"Don't give me that!" They both just stare a moment. Then Claude gets a look of urgency on his face.
"Quickly, we have to leave this area." Huh? That was rather sudden. But we do. After a moment, Rena and Claude come up as well. I wonder what they stopped for? We head through the other set of pillars, and up the tube again. When we enter the next room.....We find Shin. I am not happy to see him. No one else is either.
"Well, I never thought you would survive that fall." He says. Is he laughing at us?
"You're going down this time!" Claude shouts. We enter combat.
**Boss battle, like you don't know who wins**
That was a royal pain. But not as much as I expected it to be. We go on after Rena takes care of a few healing spells. We come up on a strange room. The place is huge. In the center....is that the Sorcery Globe? It seems to be hovering...
"HALT. DO NOT MOVE." Who is that?
"Why does that woman have a quadratic key?" another voice asks. Rena steps up.
"Who are you?!" she shouts. We can hear the sound of something being charged up. Claude jumps in front of Rena seconds before it would have hit her. He is hurt, but alive. Rena casts a few healing spells on him.
"Hold on Claude." She says.
"Powers of healing.....you must be Nedian!" another voice. How many of them are there?
"Ned.ian?" Rena says. We all look at each other. I for one don't understand.
"Why did you destroy this city?!" Bowman demands. Great, now they are laughing at us.
"These primitive beings are so quick to raise their voices." The second voice says.
"Not quiet." Yet another one. "The boy here is an Earthling." WHAT? What does that mean?
"Excuse me, we are on the outer fringe. How can an Earthling be here?"
"I have no answer for that."
"And look at this!! Tetragenes also!!" Now what are they talking about. I'm starting to get a headache. Claude steps up.
"What are you trying to do?!" he shouts. They start laughing again.
"There is no need for you to know. Besides, this planet will soon collide with Nede." What is he talking about?
"Are you trying to destroy this planet?!" Claude shouts. Someone in the back starts laughing.
"Boo-hoo. One planet is sacrificed. We only need it to get back to Nede. Then we can finalize our plans to take over the universe." I can't believe it.
"We won't let you!" Claude, Opera and Ernest say at the same time. I'm glad someone knows what is going on. I am completely in the dark.
"Oh well. Someone humor them." One of them steps up.
"YOU SEEM TO HAVE A DEATH WISH." He says. Another one comes up as well.
"I'll make it short and sweet." He says.
"Don't even bother. I am more than enough for these guys." Another one comes up where we can see him. He is huge! "I am Berle, one of the Ten Wise Men. You should feel honored to face me." Then he attacks!!
**survive 1 minute**
Wait, where is he going? We're not done with him yet! I throw another Eruption at him, but he blocks it.
"Sorry, but we can't wait anymore." They disappear. But, less than a second after.....I see a bright light behind my eyes...and I am falling again.
To be continued.....
I am not sure if I spelled the name of the ship right. I also am not sure on Opera and Ernest's race name. I can't find it around though.
