***Hey! Sorry about that last chapter title. Hehe, whoops! Anyway, I
hope you enjoy this next Chapter! Just in case you are wondering, I switch
characters per chapter.***
I came here two years ago. After me, my friend Seth came, and then there was this other girl named Karin. Actually, how it all went, was that I came first, two years ago as I said. Then, Karin arrived, three months after I got here, only I didn't meet her until two weeks ago. There's a story to that, but I'll let it come later. Anyway, one year after that, Seth, my best friend arrived here.
Here is Middle Earth. I'm not quite sure why they call it Middle Earth. Are there other earths as well? Well, that's not really important. What is important is that somehow, me, Seth, and Karin all got to Middle Earth from the regular planet Earth somehow. We aren't really sure how, actually. Oh, and I thought you should know this little bit of information too: even though the three of us all got to Middle Earth at different times, we all left the earth as you know it at the same time. Weird, huh? Yeah, I thought so too.
What this means is that there could be more of us out there. By us, I mean "travelers." That's what we call ourselves. Yeah I know, not to creative, but we don't really care. Here, let me give you some background on us Travelers.
First up is Karin; ladies first. Karin is female and sixteen years old. She's five foot one, and was born in India. She has dark skin and black eyes and black hair that' s always kept short. She say's she doesn't want it "in the way". She moved to the USA when she was five. Karin is easily the smartest one of the group, even though she is the youngest. I swear, the girl does calculus problems for FUN. If there ever comes a need for battle, which with the way things are going, there will be, I'm sure Karin will be in charge, or at least involved with battle plans. She's also learning to use a bow and arrow, and carries two swords for fighting. That's another thing about Karin; she's not afraid to kill. In fact, I'd say she rather enjoys it. She always wants to train and mock fight. Seth and I often decline her invitations to train with her though. This has started to frustrate her, and she often declares that we are "total wimps". Sometimes, she mentions a friend she had back on our old Earth. A girl named Rhia, who she says would have fought us. Seth and I haven't told Karin that we knew a girl named Rhia too, and actually from the same area that she came from. I don't want to mention her, and Seth just keeps his mouth shut. I'll probably talk more about her later. Anyway, back to Karin, she has a green power. She is able to bring up a shield of green power from within herself to protect herself from anything coming her way. The only way to get through the shield is to use your own power and hope it's stronger than hers, or just keep whacking away at it. Usually though, you have to resort to using your own power. Karin can also through the shield anywhere she wants, which proves to be quite handy. If ever anyone is in a position where they need help, she can form the shield around them, or, she can simply send the shield flying at an enemy and hit him with it, sending him flying.
Next is Seth. I have been friends with Seth since I was nine. Seth used to be older than me, but no longer. This was accomplished by me getting to Middle Earth before he did. I used to be eight months younger than Seth, but now, since I came to Middle Earth a year and a half before he did, yet we all left regular Earth at the same time, I am about one year older than him. Oh, Seth is eighteen. Another thing about Seth is that he used to be a drug addict. I swear, this must have been a tough way to quit; he simply had to because there are no drugs here for him to use! Seth fights mainly with his body, though he also has learned to wield a sword. Really though, Seth is a great fighter, better than Karin. He's probably the best fighter I've ever seen. He also has a shield too, but it's not that strong. His strength is physical fighting. The color of Seth's shield is bright red, but it doesn't really last long, and he usually only uses it to knock people off balance, he can't even knock them over with it, unless they really aren't expecting it. Oh, and for all you girls out there, Seth is 5'9 with blond hair and green eyes. Very muscular too, but he has quite the temper and isn't to understanding, so even though he has the looks, I wouldn't call him your ideal man.
Last, but not least, there's me. My name's Harris. I'm nineteen now. I mainly fight using a bow and arrow, but I have also learned a little bit of sword handling (complements of Karin of course) and hand to hand combat. Though really, I learned the hand to hand mostly back on Earth. I'm 5'8, brown hair and blue eyes. I don't really like having blue eyes, it gets me to much attention. What is with people and blue eyes? I'd much rather just be left alone. While I can defend myself, I am mainly a magic powerhouse. My shield color (yes, I have one too) is blue, and like Karin and Joe, I can either whack people with it (which is quite enjoyable, I must say) or I can merely use it as a shield. However, for some reason, I can also do a bit more. I can call fire, water, lightning and ice out of thin air and direct them at anything I want. I must say, I destroyed quite a few trees before I quite learned to control the fire and lightning, and Karin was just about ready to run me through when I flooded her room bye accident. Oh, and not only did I do it once, I did it twice. Whoops! Surprisingly, everything went well with ice. I didn't destroy anything. I over froze a couple things, and sometimes it barely created even the slightest icicle, but generally, ice went well. The elves here want to teach me to heal, but I'm not sure I can do it.
Here is Rivendell. Karin, Seth and I all showed up around Rivendell, the only thing was that Karin decided to go in the opposite direction of the city (though she didn't know she was doing so) and practically got herself killed by a cougar before she was found by a few Elf scouts. They then brought her to Rivendell where Elrond healed her. When she woke up, Seth and I were sent to talk to her, because the elves assumed she was from our world as she was wearing jeans (something they'd never seen before) and a tank top with some weird design on it. (I can't quite remember what it was.) As it turns out, and as you have heard from me already, Karin was indeed from Earth, and not only that, she was from Kansas and friends with a girl named Rhia.
Which of course brings me to her. (Rhia I mean.) All three of us knew her somehow. Karin was friends with her back when she still lived in Kansas, Seth and I met her at a camp in Kansas, and then I stayed in touch with her when she moved to Michigan (which Karin did also; stayed friends I mean). Then, the two of us lost contact with her, and never heard from her again. Apparently, so did everyone else in Kansas who Rhia had kept in contact with. Okay, so why should you care? I don't know. I guess, maybe 'cause it's me who's telling this story, and I happened to have fallen for her while at that summer camp, though I'm over it now. Haha, yeah, but another reason might be that I think she's the reason we're here. I mean, she's the only connection the three of us have. Seth and me believe she will show up here soon, if she isn't here already. Actually, right now, I'm heading to Karin's room right now to tell her about all of this. That I know Rhia, and that I think she may already be here, I mean.
Click, click, click. "Why are walkways always made of stone?" I wonder aloud.
"Because what would be the point of walking down them if they didn't make that annoying 'click' noise?" retorted Seth, getting up from a bench he was waiting for me on. "So. I don't really know this girl Karin that well yet." He continues. "Do you think she'll be angry at us for not telling her that we knew Rhia once and that we believe she's on this planet?"
"I hope not. Last time she got angry was when I flooded her room-"
"Twice."
"Yeah, twice. She seemed mad enough to run me through with those dang swords of hers."
"I know." He said, laughing at me. He seems to take great pleasure finding something to constantly bother me about. Usually, it's that I'm a fighting wimp, at least as far as he's concerned.
"Aww, knock it off." I say, shoving him. He shoves me back. An "Ooph" escapes me as I get shoved into a wall.
"Get ready magic boy, here I come!" he said jokingly as he started to charge me. Seth and I have never actually fought each other with the intent to harm yet.
"Ready and waiting." I reply. I concentrate and. I am rewarded!
"Hey!!! That's not fair!!!" Seth's feet are now frozen to the ground, a mess of ice surrounding them and holding them down.
"I thought you said you were coming?" I say, raising my eyebrows at him in mocking laughter.
"Ahhhhrrrggg! Let me go!" Seth lurched around, attempting, and failing, to pull his feet out of the ice that trapped him. SLAM! "OUCH!" He'd lost his balance with all that lurching around and fallen flat on his face.
"Hahahaha! You know. I can't just make it go away. It doesn't work like that. I'll either have to burn it off, or you'll just have to wait for it to melt." I said, acting like I didn't care, lifted my nose a little, and closed my eyes in a snotty way. I couldn't hold it for long though, and burst out laughing again.
***And so ends chapter two. How will Karin react to Harris and Seth? Will Rhia actually show up in Middle Earth? Wait and see! Give me your reviews please! Thank's so much!***
