Stone of the Phoenix

Fourth chapter! Let's see, I finished chap 2, finished chap 3, and now I'm working on this. I need a life. -_-
Chapter 4-To the Outside World, Maximilian
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(They finally reached the Ancient Door. Max looked on it's inscriptions curiously.)
-Max: I wonder what this means.
-Monica: It's in Atlantean! The same people who made the magical jems, which they called the Atlamillas, made it!
-Max: Can you read it?
-Monica: I can make one sentence out: "Whomever enters this tomb shall not leave alive."
-Max: Doesn't matter. I've got the key, and I need to find that inscription!
(Max placed the key into the door, and turned the heavy handle. The lines and runes began to glow white, and the door creaked open. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(The room inside was a wash of white and blue, the marble floor, and the great glass tubes shaping the water into a pattern that was crystalline, and yet still liquid.)
-Max: Whoa..
-Monica: This place is beautiful.
-Donny: Never seen anything like it.
(In the centre of the room was a pedestal made of white stone. Max walked up to it, and he saw a hand symbol with lines carved in all around it. He placed his hand on the inscription, and the lines glowed white, as lines throughout the room started glowing, making the water a shining heavenly, crystalline white.)
-Monica: I don't believe it.
(Then, the sides of the pedestal drew themselves down, like the petals of a flower, and in the centre of it was a stone inscription, written in English.)
-Max: My mother must have been allied with the Atlanteans somehow. I'll read this.
"If my son should ever be brought to this place, then he should know that I have left this place for a realm beyond: The Shadow Realm. Legend has it that the spirits of three God Monsters reside within three of the Seven Atlamillas. I am going to him the Red Atlamilla, the Stone of the Phoenix, for it contains within the spirit of the Phoenix, God of Ra. Once it is summoned, the Phoenix will destroy another monster, named-"
Unfortunately, it stops there.
-Monica: The Shadow Realm. The Realm where Demons lie. Why would she go to that forsaken place?
-Max: I don't know, but I do know that the only way to find out is to go to the Outside World. I can find the way.
-Monica: And we'll have to find out more about that legend!
(They ran through the Sewers, heading for the Outside World.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(They were walking in a tunnel. There was a light at the end of it.)
-Max: This is it! This leads to the Outside World!
(Soon they reached the end of the tunnel. They saw a huge train station, and golden lamps lit the place. Max looked on proudly.)
-Max: This is it, guys. Welcome to Black Stone Railroad!
-Monica: (Obviously not impressed) The light at the end on the tunnel.is a train.
-Donny: (Giggles)
-Max: (Folds his arms) Well, if you're not excited, don't blame me!
-Monica: Sorry, but compared to that church, this place is LAME!!!
-Max: (Shugs) Fair enough.
(They walked alongside the track to the nearest city they could reach.Sisdain.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(They were now in the Rainbow Butterfly Wood. It was a beautiful place. The birds were chirping, and the Sakura petals floated down to caress their faces. It was like this place was resting..peacefully.)
==Note: Sakura are Japanese blossoms. Assuming you don't know that.)
-Donny: Hard to believe such nasty creatures plagued this place.
-Max: Griffin had corrupted many of the normally peaceful creatures last time we were here. After his death, everything must have returned to their former beauty.
-Monica: Yeah. It's like this place always was like this at heart, that it's tranquility had never been forgotten, it just had to be persuaded out.
(They soon saw the cottage they had seen last time. But this time there was a road attached to it, and it looked a great deal nicer.)
-Max: Strange.it didn't look this elaborate when we were last here.
-Monica: Aye. It looks like they found something rich.
-Max: Got grape juice?
-Monica: Lots of it.
-Donny: (Sweatdrop) What are you guys talking about?
-Max: In this cottage there should be some furbits. They're adorable; in our eyes they are only about the size of children.
-Donny: Great, but what's with the Grape juice?
-Max: What else? They love it.
-Donny: (Scratches his head) Oh.
(They came up to the door, and Monica knocks on it. A rather irritated voice came from the other side.)
-Voice: Go away! We don't want any visitors, well-wishers, or obscure relations!
-Max: And what about very old friends?
(The door opened to reveal an old man, that was a little shorter than Max. He shook Max warmly by the hand, and told him this: )
-Man: Oh, my dear Maximilian! It's been so long since you were last here! Please, come in, come in!
(They walked in, and Monica bumped her head on the frame.)
-Monica: OW!! Man, that's sad, I've grown so much since I was last here..
-Max: (Sweatdrop) Heh, heh.^_^
-Man: So, what brings you here Maximilian? I'm the only one here presently.
-Max: Nothing much, Gildaroh, but we need a place to stay, if that wouldn't be too much trouble.
-Gildaroh: No sir! That's fine by me!
-Monica: And we also brought some Grape juice, as a little present.
(Monica handed him the bottle of Grape juice she had. The old Furbit gave a squeal of delight, and Donny shook his head, saying this: )
-Donny: That's sad. What a Grape juice addict.
-Gildaroh: Speaking of which, who is this boy you have brought with you, Max?
-Donny: Donny, thank you very much-
-Max: (Interrupts) I hope he isn't too much trouble, he never got a chance to learn manners, but he's a fine kid.
-Gildaroh: Very well. We shall find lodging for him as well.
-Max: What do you mean? We're just planning to sleep here!
-Gildaroh: Ah, but you do not need to! For not far from here lies the city of Furbitton, a young city inspired by the downfall of Griffin!
-Max: You made a whole city? How?
-Gildaroh: There was more of our race than merely seven. In fact, there are roughly one hundred of us, scattered in the wood. We got lots of Grape juice, and helped them to build an entire city within the wood for Furbits to dwell. Now, our race stays here among the trees, enjoying paradise.
-Max: I'd like to see Furbitton! It's great to know that your race is doing so much better!
-Gildaroh: Very well. I'll take you there.
(Gildroh lead them out of his house and on to the pathway that led to it.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
-Monica: So this is Furbitton..
(The city's buildings were supported with the branches of the ancient trees. The buildings were made with branches covered in leaves, and it looked like sticky sap kept them altogether. Fireflies danced throughout the city, lighting it up with their soft glow. And everything together made it look enchanted.)
-Gildaroh: We are very proud of it.
-Max: You have every right to be. It's beautiful.
-Donny: Man, this place is just nuts! I mean, come on, those fireflies are just gravy!
-Gildaroh: What's gravy?
-Monica: (Slaps her forehead)
(They walked up the ladder into the bazaar. There were furbits, young and old, selling Grape juice, some sort of butchered bird, and of course various seeds and walnuts.)
-Monica: Those birds look like they'd taste great once they're cooked.
-Gildaroh: Ah yes, Nucks. They're a delicacy, and we enjoy barbequing them.
-Max: (Rubs his stomach) Now you're just making me hungry!
-Donny: I know. A good Duck, or whatever they call them, would be great right about now.
-Gildaroh: Nucks. And yes, I'm getting rather hungry myself.
-Monica: We'd better hurry then. I heard men could have riots if they're deprived of a meal for to long.
-Max: (HUGE sweatdrop) ^^
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(After climbing their third ladder, and walking many planks that would be a nightmare to height-fearing patrons, they reached a particularly large house, with many people inside, singing and laughing merrily, as far as they could tell from the windows.)
-Gildaroh: Welcome to the Inn of the Twilight Sky. Here, you'll be able to enjoy a meal and a goodnight's sleep. And don't worry-we accept Gilda as well.
-Max: Aye, thank you, Gildaroh!
(They walked into the Inn, and saw many drunken furbits laughing merrily, but no drunken brawls, merely people that had forgotten all their troubles with so much alcohol. Max and Donny were feeling particularly famished, and the smell of roasting Nucks got even Monica in the mood for food.)
-Monica: How much Gilda did you bring, Max?
-Donny: I brought just 10 Gilda.
-Max: I brought 100. Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush.
-Monica: I brought 500. But I'd imagine 75 would be enough for us to sleep for the night, although I have no idea how much the food will cost.
(They walked up to the owner, who smiled warmly at them.)
-Owner: Greetings, good masters. Welcome to the Inn of the Twilight Sky.
-Max: How much would a night's stay be?
-Owner: 10 Gilda per room, 15 if you want a free meal.
-Monica: We'll take two rooms, with meals.
-Owner: Aye. That'll be 30 Gilda.
(Monica paid the owner, and they sat down at one of the tables.)
-Max: Wow, that was a lot cheaper than I thought.
-Monica: Remember, they used materials of abundance here. Spider webs, sap, and especially wood, are very easy to acquire here, and as a result, since everything built from those things, the Inns will be very cheap indeed.
-Donny: Well, that's pretty handy then, being small, smart, and living in a forest. Even we haven't come up with anything quite like this!
-Max: Yeah, it's quite the place.
(A waiter walked up, and held in his hand a large leaf platter, with smaller nuts with some sort of ale in them, and a large cooked duck-like animal, smelling delicious.)
-Waiter: Your meal, sirs?
-Monica: Thank you.
(The Waiter walked off, putting their plate on the table. They all took their share, and ate some. After they ate, they were all stuffed.)
-Monica: Man, I'm stuffed.
-Max: That sure is a big meal for an extra 5 Gilda.
-Donny: (Turns green) My supper doesn't agree with me.(Runs to the facilities)
(Max's eye lids soon began to grow heavy. He was feeling exhausted, and he was sure Monica felt the same.)
-Max: Monica, I'm tired. Let's go to bed.
-Monica: Aye.
(They walked off to their separate rooms. Interestingly enough, Max already saw Donny there, snoring. Max went into his own bed, and fell into a deep sleep..)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(He ran on the rocky ground, the rain streaked past him, for he had to go into the past. His father had sensed that his sister, Monica was headed to the Outside World, and that she was going to become a soldier in a war soon, because the Enemy God Monster was soon to be summoned. He wore a cape around his neck, red on the inside, but it clothed his back in white. He had fiery red hair, and a heavy sword in his hilt and a hammer at his back. He did not have one of the Seven, so therefore he had to go to the Tower of Time.)
(Once there, a guard stood there, and kneeled before his feet.)
-Guard: Sir Roy, the Tower of Time has awaited you.
-Roy: Very well.
(He walked in to the Tower, and at its peak were two huge, golden rings surrounding a circular stone floor with a pedestal in the centre. In the pedestal were two smaller rings, surrounding a large, yellow jewel, suspended in the air. Roy touched the globe, and the jewel started spinning, forming a glowing yellow web below and above it, and the huge outer rings started spinning, before he was engulfed in Time...)
