Another chapter..and no D**N REVIEWS!!! REVIEW!!!! XD
Chapter 7-Arrival in Sisdain
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(Donny had just woken up from a long night's sleep. He yawned, and saw Roy and Monica were missing, probably out hunting. Arcturius was meditating, so he took no notice of him. But Max was still sleeping, peacefully, and smiling a little. Too bad it was time that Max was awakened, because even Donny had slept in..)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(Roy and Monica were walking leisurely around the woods. Roy had told Monica that they weren't going hunting, because they would probably reach Sisdain by nightfall anyhow. Roy then sat down, and beckoned Monica to be seated as well.)
-Roy: Now, at least none of the others may hear us.
-Monica: Why did we go this deep anyway?
-Roy: I have to tell you something, Monica.
-Monica: What do you want to tell me?
-Roy: The Summoning of the Phoenix shall be too dangerous. You must not be here when it occurs.
-Monica: But what about Max?!? I want to stay with him until the end!
-Roy: Monica, he may be the Chosen One for the Phoenix, but he is still but a boy, and not one of royal blood. You know the law of our town, that a princess of the Feraldur Castle may only marry one outside of their family, and with royal blood. Maximilian may be the former, but he does not possess the blood, nor strength of the latter.
-Monica: He was responsible for Griffin's downfall! He might as well be of royal blood for that act alone!
-Roy: His actions don't make him royal, Monica you know that.
-Monica: But then you're suggesting that I take a man that was born royal by mere chance! Why can't I marry whom I choose to?
-Roy: Because that is the law, Monica, learn to accept it. Max is merely a boy, he doesn't deserve your love.
-Monica: He's nobler than you can imagine! He saved the entire world and did not accept any rewards! What do you think of that?!? He could have been the ruler of the world, but he chose not to be! And you tell me that he doesn't deserve my love! He deserves it more than anyone does or anyone ever will!
-Roy: It does not matter. His quest will bring you to your end, I'll warrant. I will give you until the night after we arrive at Pier Narc, and then we will leave for the future. And that is final.
-Monica: (Sigh)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(Donny stood over Max, and knelt down, and yelled this in his ear: )
-Donny: OH, MAXIE, MAXIE, MAXIE, GET UP IF YOU WANT YER BREAKFAST!!!! XD
(Max groaned, and rolled over. Donny then got a pail of water from the river, and dumped it on Max's head. The results were immediate.)
-Max: Arrg! Donny, what was that for, I'm freezing!
-Donny: I yelled in your ear and ya didn't wake up, and I didn't know what else to do!
-Max: Fair enough.
(Monica and Roy then walked from the bushes. Donny was surprised they came back empty-handed.)
-Donny: Why didn't you get anything for breakfast? I'm sure we'd all like something to eat to start the day!
-Roy: We've still got some fruit for everyone, and if we want to get to Sisdain by nightfall we can't have much time to rest.
-Max: That's okay. We'll have some berries and be off. We'd better get there as soon as we can.
-Donny: Oh, fine..
(They all ate some berries and walked off into the woods.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
-Arcturius: So, what is at this Sisdain, anyhow?
-Max: Well, it was the first city I restored. If these people remember that, we should expect a warm welcome.
(They had been walking for several hours now. The sun was beginning to set, and the trees were starting to thin, giving way to the horizon..)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(It was night. They could barely see in the hills, where there were now but a few trees left, but Max and Monica knew they were almost there.)
-Donny: Guys, we really should make camp. It's night, and I really need to get some rest.
-Max: Donny, we'll be there before you know it. I happen to know, these hills begin just before we reach the city. We should arrive at any minute.
-Monica: Yeah, Max made the city real close to these hills. I think the city was stuck here for a landmark, right?
-Max: Yeah, that's about right. Glad I didn't make it close to mountains, otherwise we would have to make camp!
-Roy: Yeah, that was pretty clever..
(They soon saw the city gates, surrounded by wooden walls, on the moon- dappled plains. There were houses within the walls as they saw from a bird's eye view.)
-Max: Wow..
-Monica: Sure has grown since we last saw it!
-Roy: So, that's Sisdain. Nice town.
-Arcturius: Looks great!
-Donny: Hard to believe Max started this place..
(They walked down to the city gates, where the light from the sentry towers poured on to their backs.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(They stood at the wooden gate to the city. There were two windows, one for smaller folks, and one for taller ones. When they originally made the city, they stood at the former, but now they had grown, and everyone stood just at the latter. Max knocked on the door, and an old, grumpy man showed his face through.)
-Old Man: What do you want?
-Max: I'm Maximilian, and these are my friends. We need a place to stay for the night.
-Old Man: Maximilian? THE Maximilian?
(Max held up his necklace, and the Old Man recognized it easily. He then smiled warmly.)
-Old Man: Oh yes! You're the one who restored this place aren't you? I am so sorry for my rudeness sir, it's just that I'm supposed to guard this gate day in, day out. I hear there are some queer folk around these days.
-Max: That's all right, then. You're doing your job pretty well! ^^
(They walked into the city.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(The city was still paved with dirt yet, and the houses were made of wood, but the people lived happily nonetheless. They saw a bard singing to a young lady sitting in a chair, and people drinking whiskey on their front step, and generally having a good time. They soon came to an Inn that was unfamiliar to them.)
-Max: This is odd..I didn't make this place.
-Monica: Yeah, it looks pretty new.
-Arcturius: Rather odd..
(Max looked at the sign.)
-Max: "Old George's Inn". Looks pretty new.
-Donny: Old George? That was a tavern owner back in Palm Brinks! His tavern was grungy, though, and the folks that went to his place were mainly thieves, pirates, assassins, the like.
-Max: Regardless, we need a place to stay for the night, and this looks like a pretty convenient place. Everyone for it, say "Aye!"
-Monica: Aye!
-Roy: Aye!
-Donny: I guess....
-Arcturius: I don't know..
-Max: If we've hot something to defend ourselves, we should be just fine with whatever fiends may be there.
-Arcturius: Aye, then.
(They all walked inside.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I'm ending it here, sorry if it was a bit short, and a pretty evil cliffhanger, but not to worry, The Plot hole shall continue!
The Plot Hole
-By Mosobot64
(Max had ran back to Cedric and Monica, telling them what happened.)
-Cedric: So, Mosobot fell down a Plot Hole, and now we've got to save her?
-Max: Yup.
-Cedric: We're fictional characters, not a SWAT Team!
-Max: Yeah, but Stone of the Phoenix is a half-way decent fic, you know!
-Monica: Okay, I'll give you that onel, but think about it. It's not like Souls of Time, and it's not that revolutionary.
-Max: It's almost as good as Souls of Time though! And it'll become more interesting!
-Monica: Yeah, as soon as it becomes outdated...
-Cedric: Screw it, Mosobot's an okay author, let's save her.
-Max: Ride Pod?
-Cedric: Check.
(They run off to save Mosobot!)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
-Max: I'm getting sick of the Author's note's after both the main and side story! It's screwed!
It'll be standard format. And anyway, it's fairly original.
-Max: You're just doing that to make the chapters longer and you know it- (Gets a sock stuffed in his face)
