Chapter 13
Frog clung onto the ledge of a large mountain just after he was thrown out
of a gate. After a while he managed to climb up and looked around, he was
on a small island with a huge mountain in the centre. Frog grunted
something about the wrong place and the wrong time and started to climb
down. He didn't remember to ever see this island, not from Epoch. When he
finally got down he noticed a small hut at the beach. It was a humble
place, Frog noticed when he reached the fence, no more then two or three
people could live in it. It looked a little worn, probably damaged by the
ocean palace-disaster.
"Hello? Anybody home?" Frog said, and walked trough the small fence, before
the house there was a little garden filled with different kind of
vegetables and fruits. Frog could see strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes,
patatoes, beans and even a little apple-tree. The view was surprising, Frog
didn't think that the climate would allow any plants to grow.
"Who are you?" Some loud but friendly voice called from behind him. When
the knight turned around he nearly gasped for air. The man behind him was
huge. Of course, of his size everybody looked bigger, but this person would
stand at least head and shoulders above anybody else. "I'm sorry, I'm not
used to visitors here." The man continued, a grin playing on his rough
face. He had thick brown hair and yellow eyes, and a simple grey shirt and
trousers dressed his muscle-bound body, he didn't wear any shoes. "My name
is Nabul, and I live here." He said and walked towards the house, he turned
to Frog one more time. "Care to come in?" Nabul asked, Frog nodded. He had
many questions for this man, but first he had to get to the main-land and
find Schala.
"Sir Nabul?" He asked, while following him in the garden.
"If you want to know how to get to the main-land, there's a cave in the
mountain which connects the island with a place just below North cape. I
better come with you, the place is a real maze."
"If thou would do that I would be very pleased." Frog said.
"Good, I'm gonna warn my house-mate."
"Huh? Thou said thou didn't get much visitors?"
"I know, but this girl stranded a couple of weeks ago during that disaster,
I helped her taking care of her injuries and she lived with me ever since."
Nabul said and turned his attention to someone in the house. "Schala, some
green frog asks me to take him to the main-land, is that fine with you?"
He said, letting Frog almost fell over in surprise.
"Sure, be careful not to get lost." A familiar female voice called from out
of the hut.
"Lady Schala?!" Frog exclaimed, rushing towards the house. On a chair
inside sat Schala, looking just as always, her purple robes looked a little
tattered, but were still good enough to wear.
"Oh, it's you, I'm glad to see you again Frog." She said with a friendly
smile. "What brings you here?"
"Ehm I eh." Frog didn't know what to say, despite that he agreed to search
her, he never taught she would be alive after an event like that. "It is
about thine brother, Janus."
"Janus? He's alive?" Schala asked hopeful, Frog's serious face made her
face fell.
"He's alive, but there is much I hath to tell you." With that he started
the story about Magus, what he did in the middle-ages, their journeys
together, the legend about the entities and the fierce attack on Latoya.
After his tale both Nabul and Schala were silent. "Tis a sad story I
knoweth, but he needs thine help now more then ever."
"I understand, but we have a small problem. Well. not a problem, more a
announcement." Schala said, a pink colour appearing on her cheeks.
"And that is?" Frog asked, Nabul put his massive hands in Schala's fragile
shoulders.
"Let's just say that Schala and I grew quite fond of each other." He said,
Frog just looked at both of them. He then showed the most widest grin on
his face.
"Love is a beautiful thing. And I'm sure you two be'eth a lovely couple.
But there is no time for that. Thine brother was in grave danger when I
left."
"In that case we should hurry." Nabul said and prepared to leave. "Mind if
I come, I'm thrilled to meet your brother."
"In that case, let's go." Schala said, and walked outside. "How exactly did
you get here?"
"I shouldn't have asked!" Schala yelled while the three of them climbed the mountain towards the time-gate. She clung onto Nabul's shoulders as if her life was depending on it (Which it did, actually) "I am so sorry I forgotteth to tell this." Frog said while he shot an apologising smile down the ledge. "Why are you talking in such a weird way?" Nabul asked while climbing up, carrying Schala with great ease. "I always talketh this way, dost it disturb you?" Frog asked. "No, not at all." Nabul said, this time he looked apologising. When they reached the top, Frog could see the time-gate shimmering beneath them. "Is that the thing?" Nabul asked. "Yes, we have to jump." Frog answered. "Do not worry, I hath done it before." "You sure about this? Cause when we fall, our guts will be splattered on the ground, not even to be removed by a steel-brush." "Er. Right, I thank thee for that information." Frog said hesitant. "We better jump now before the wind will bloweth us of this mountain." "Uh. Okay, hang on Schala." With that Frog jumped and pushed the remote and quickly pushed the button for 600 A.D. The gate opened and all he could do was hoping that Nabul would follow his lead.
"Wh..what the..?!" Nabul stuttered when they got out of the flashing bleu and suddenly were in a big forest. Schala got of his shoulders and also looked confused around her. "This is the forest in front of Guardia castle, the year 600." Frog explained. "Er. This still is weird, no matter how you explain it." "Thou arth absolutely right, but please, let us hurry." And so they did, when they reached the castle, especially Nabul got strange looks. When they reached the Knights' quarters Schala stared at her brother for a long time, she touched his hair carefully, as if afraid to wake him up. Silent tears streamed down her face. "Don't worry, he'll be alright." A voice came from behind, and Brian came down the stairs. "How would you know?" Nabul asked confused. Brian smiled mysteriously. "I have my ways of knowing things, Nabul" He said, leaving Nabul in even greater confusion. "You read minds?" Schala asked, pulling her attention away from her comatose brother. "That's an extremely rare gift. Did you spent long learning it?" "Uhm. I didn't learn it, I was born with it." "Oh." There was an uneasy silence after that. "So." Nabul said after a while. "When is he gonna wake up?" "He will soon, don't worry." Brian answered. "Right, mind if I go to the forest? I love forests and where I come from. you got the point." "That's alright Nabul, but I stay with my brother." "Sure, I understand, see ya." And with a swift kiss on Schala's fore-head he left.
It was cold and dark, feelings Magus was all to familiar with. But when he returned to the real world these feelings changed abruptly. He felt warm, and was laying on something soft and fuzzy. A bed, and someone was holding his hand. Someone female and young. No, it couldn't be. This was a dream, a sick, non-true dream. Made by his exhausted soul. But still. why not enjoy every bit of it? Magus opened his red eyes to look straight into two beautiful green ones. His sister smiled while he kept denying the wonderful truth. No, Schala wasn't here, he was dreaming, he had to dream, but then again. then it was the most real dream he ever had in his life. "Are you real?" He asked, carefully touching the soft skin. He didn't see how bony that hand was,, he didn't see Brian, snoozing in a chair next to him, he didn't even see the huge man behind Schala's back, smiling at him. He could only see that wonderful face, slowly nodding. "I'm real Janus." She said, carefully picking her brother up and hugging his thin body. "And I will stay with you this time." Magus didn't know what to say, years and years of guilt, loneliness and pain suddenly seemed to have vanished. He only could hold his sister tightly, tears flowing down his face. "Your real, I can't believe it. I missed you so much, I never want to let you go!" He whispered. And they didn't let go for each other for a very long time.
"But I'm fine!" Magus said, being pushed back by Schala. "No you're not! When I came here you were skin and bones. And you still don't look any better." She answered in a strict tone. "I'm not a child anymore!" "But you're still my brother, and I'm not letting you out like that." "Hey, what's the fuzz about?" A female voice shouted and no one else but Aya peeked trough the door. She looked around and withdrew, probably talking to Frog. "I know the bleu-haired chick is Schala, but what's with the giant?" She asked, Frog answered. "His name is Nabul, and according to my sight, he and Schala are deeply befriended." A silence followed. "Whatever. Hey, where's the rest? We saved the world and we don't even throw a party? Well, we can start right away." She said merrily and pointed to a backpack she was wearing. "I'm already equipped." "Equipped?" Brian asked. "Yeah, equipped. You know, Music, booze, peanuts." She said, taking out a couple of CD's, some six-packs of beer and a huge bag of peanuts. "Not until Magus gets better." Brian said. "I don't think he's ready for alcohol yet." "Great, I have a sister and a father at the same day." Magus muttered, "And they both didn't notice I was one of the strongest wizards ever." "Aaah, poor little Maggy feels himself mistreated?" Aya said. "Don't push it." Magus threatened, sitting up. "You're glad I'm to weak to get out." "That's to bad, I was longing for a good fight. Those bugs infected me with the combat-virus." And Aya took on a defensive pose and pretended to punch an invisible opponent. "I can fight you." Nabul offered. But Aya immediately stopped fighting. "You?! No way! I don't want to lay next to Magus!" She said, Nabul and Schala laughed. "Well, I'm gonna get the rest and show you how we party in 2300!" "Gonna get the rest?" Nabul asked. "Yeah! I borrowed Epoch from Lucca! And don't think Magus saved this world all alone. Later!" And she disappeared again. "She's really.. Driven." Schala said. "That's another way to call it." Brian and Magus said simultaneously.
Three days later "Alright! *hiccup* Bring on the liquor!" Aya yelled when she emptied yet another can of beer at Leene square. "Sis, you already had 7 cans, I think it's better you stop now." Maya said, tugging at her bigger sister's arm. "Aaaaw, alright party-pooper." And heavily leaning against the bar, she stumbled away, singing. At the other end of the square, Schala, Nabul and Magus were talking. "So, we can live at my place. It's very peaceful ,quiet and I'll teach you the way trough the underground caves. So you can get to the last village." Nabul offered. "That's fine by me." Schala said. "What are you going to do, Janus?" "All I want now is to be with you, so I guess I'll live with you two." He answered. "If there's enough room that is." "Of course there is, brother." And he patted Magus on the back, whom had real trouble with keeping upright. "Or else I just build some extra room. With Schala, I'm already planning to. you know. enlarge our home." "You mean.?" "Well. yes." "Aw, how sweet. and how are you gonna call it?" Someone asked. "Aya?!" Both men exclaimed. "Yes *Burp* that's me, and? How are you gonna call it?" Aya asked again. "Sis. What did I tell you about asking personal questions when you're drunk?" Maya said, again tugging her arm. "*Hiccup* Don't. I'm sorry." "You have had enough fun, let's have some sleep." "Alright, bye." And the two sisters went of, Maya muttering something like 'acting her age'. After a lot of staring, Schala was the first one to talk. "So, if this party is over, we can go home. But what about your duty as an entity?" "Well, the first time, evil came to me. And I've still have one more thing to do." He said. "Kari, can I speak to you for a second?" And he walked away towards the twins, who were at the dance- corner. Kari tried to coax Crono into dancing, but a jealous Marle kept them apart. Pogapo didn't need a dance-partner, she amazed everybody with her agile and acrobatic movements. "Sure." She said, and she looked dreamily at the man of her dreams. "If you need a dance partner I'm right here." "You don't, you have to do." And the rest he whispered in her ear, her look went from dreamily to disgusted. "No way, not for a million dollars!" She said, but after a while of thinking she came up with something. "But if you would dance with me." Now it was Magus' turn to look disgusted. "The things I do for that amphibian." He mumbled, and agreed. Kari cheered and walked over to Frog, who was talking to Brian and Mari. "Hi Frog." She said carefully. "Hello Miss Kari." Frog said politely. "What's wrong sis?" Mari asked. "You're never interested in our conversations." "Well, If I do this, Magus will dance with me." Kari answered. "That's nice, what do you have to do?" "You'll see. Frog, come over here please." And she inched towards him, when they were a feet apart she grabbed him by his collar. "If I have to do this, I better do it good!" And she kissed him right on the lips. "What did you do that for?" Mari asked. But after that there was a bright flash of light and Frog was changed from a frog to. "Wow! You're hot Frog!" Mari said, "Hey Sis, does that thing work for my boss to?" "Is your boss cursed by a warlock?" "No, he's just plain ugly. But why did you have to do it?" "Because the spell only could be altered by a kiss of a lightning using sorceress." Brian said, when he saw all the strange glares he explained; "Magus trusts me, and Frog to because we helped finding his sister and saving his soul." "Oh." The rest said, now the others were noticing Frog's transformation and they were all gathering around them. "Wow Frog, I didn't know you were this cute." Petra said. "Frog not yummy any more." Was Ayla's response. "Care to dance?" Lucca asked. And laughing and smiling, the group admired him a little longer. After a while, Petra reached for the stage and talked to the orchestra, after that she turned to the crowd. "Alright everyone, grab your partner and dance! We really showed those demons! I'm sure the legend will come true!" She yelled. "Speaking about legends, where's Till?" Maya, who just returned from the inn, asked. Everybody went silent. "He's at the square with the telepod." Brian said. "And he doesn't feel happy." Almost everybody made a move to the square, but Brian stopped them. "It's better if Maya goes, Till trusts you the most." Maya nodded, and went to the other square, there she found Till, looking at the closed gate, his knees to his face. "Hey Till," She said, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." The little boy softly said. "I just want to be alone." "But why? We won! I wasn't able to use my new powers, but the demons are gone for now!" "That isn't why I feel bad." "But why then? C'mon, tell me." Maya said, and settled next to Till, who immediately grabbed her shirt and started crying in her chest. "It isn't fair! All these people fighting for me. Magus nearly died to protect me, and I didn't do anything to help him. If I'm suppose to safe this world, then why didn't I do anything?" He continued to cry, after a while he again mumbled in Maya's chest. "I feel so useless, what if I don't save the world? What if I fail?" Maya hushed him. "It's okay Till, It's okay. You don't have to feel useless. You're only six, no one will expect from you to save the world now. Just give it a little time." "Thanks Maya." Till snivelled. "Alright then, let's party. Wanna dance with me?" "Sure." Till eventually said, smiling. And the two walked to the other square, hand in hand. When they arrived, Petra ordered the musicians to play the 'moonlight parade' song and jumped of the platform. Nearly everybody danced; Marle danced with Crono, Lucca danced with Glenn, a verrrry disgruntled looking Magus danced with a dreamy looking Kari, Nabul almost dragged Schala across the square, Maya danced with Till, Pogapo danced alone and even Brian danced with Mari. The strangest thing was, that nobody on the square had any serious worries, nobody taught of pain, of war, or of death. But what they didn't know was that someone was watching them who did think of those things, someone who was sitting in a high- backed chair, sipping at a glass of wine, looking at a wide screen (But it didn't have any wires or other technical support, it was just a window, looking out on the square.) "How sweet." The person said, watching the couples dance merrily. "To bad that will end one day." "But Sir," Some female voice from behind the person spoke. "If you're so sure we can win, why wait?" "Because." The person said. "Our Moloch troops have suffered from massive casualties, Latoya was to cocky and proud to think about our main goal." He chuckled. "And besides. what if they think that was all, what if they think they're safe? Then an assault would cause much more suffering. Don't you think? Don't worry, the future will be full of pain, bloodshed." The screen zoomed in on Brian, who had stopped dancing. "And a few. unpleasant surprises." And after that, an insane laughter raised into a sky, far away from the joyful party.
The End.
Well, that's it for part one. I want to make it into a trilogy. Kinda like The Omen, only then with a 'good guy'. BTW, I know the ending sucks but hey, everybody has a weak point. I don't know the title for the sequel, so keep an eye open for my nickname. Until then, bye!
"I shouldn't have asked!" Schala yelled while the three of them climbed the mountain towards the time-gate. She clung onto Nabul's shoulders as if her life was depending on it (Which it did, actually) "I am so sorry I forgotteth to tell this." Frog said while he shot an apologising smile down the ledge.

Don't worry, the future will be full of pain, bloodshed." The screen zoomed in on Brian, who had stopped dancing. "And a few. unpleasant surprises." And after that, an insane laughter raised into a sky, far away from the joyful party.
The End.
Well, that's it for part one. I want to make it into a trilogy. Kinda like The Omen, only then with a 'good guy'. BTW, I know the ending sucks but hey, everybody has a weak point. I don't know the title for the sequel, so keep an eye open for my nickname. Until then, bye!
