Chapter 4-The Lady in the Light (Leon)
"Leon, the Expel Hope is loaded up on the boat and ready for departure to El. Are yo-" asked Jack. Jack was 17 years old and quite intelligent. The King of Lacour asked me if I would take him in and I accepted. He is really nice, but he is always trying to impress me. I told him to calm down but he feels he has to honor me somehow, but of course he knows of my amazing feat. Hehehe.
"Yes, yes. Now please let me be awhile," I told Jack. He walked away, closing the door behind him. I was finishing packing up a few things to take along. I decided to take a break and opened the window for some fresh air. I opened the window and leaned out on the windowsill. I couldn't help but smile. Everything was beautiful now that there was peace in Expel. Even if mom and dad aren't here, I know they have noticed what has happened.
"Leon, the boat will leave soon. Please come on!" Jack had come back to pester me.
"You are truly annoying!" I snapped, but then I laughed. I picked up my stuff and was on my way to Hilton.
**********
"Are you hungry Leon?" asked my assistant.
"No thanks, Jack. I'll tell you if I need anything," I told him. He then bowed and left.
I decided to go inspect the Expel Hope. I walked over to it and almost burst with pride. It was beautiful, if I do say so myself. It was made with titanium steel and within it was covered in crystalite so that the molecules of Heraldry that flowed through would be able to flow through more smoothly. At the tip of the gun, there is a ball of damascus. Amazingly, damascus raises the power of heraldry. Oh, it makes my eyes water...
"Leon! Look up!" Jack yelled.
"What?" I stared up and was amazed. A huge, green, ogre looking creature was flying towards the boat."What is that!?" As I finished the question, the ogre landed in front of me.
"If you hand over, or tell me the location of the Telesphere, I'll spare you're lives," growled the beast.
"What? Where did you even come from?" I asked in amazement.
"From some distant planet, human," it growled back.
"You traveled through space? How?" I asked. I was starting to see how idiotic this beast was.
It held out it's arm. "You see this ring of black metal? It is an air shield. I just turn it on and I am able to breathe even in space,"
"Hmm...well I'll be right back with the Telesphere. It is in the cabin." I told the beast. I then turned around and ran to the the cabin. When I got in I slammed the door shut and burst out laughing. What and idiot! Well I better be quick as to not disrupt it. I looked though my bag of things and pulled out my book of Heraldry.
**********
"Hmph, it took you long enough. Now hand it over human," the beast growled impatiently.
"Ok...," I said with a sly smile. I pulled out my book from behind and opened it to the page I had marked. I started to read the incantation.
"Huh...what's this?" it said. Its eyes were suddenly bulging.
"Extinction!" I yelled. The ogre's pupils disappeared and it fell over. I then fell to my knees.
"Leon! Are you alright?" Jack yelled as he ran towards me.
I tried to smile. "I'll be ok. I just haven't used magic that strong in quite some time. Took a bit out of me, but don't worry."
"W-well alright..."Jack replied in a worried tone. He then went to do something else to get his mind off things. I got up and walked to the ogre. After sometime of struggling, I got the air shield off its arm. I put it back in my bag in the cabin and decided to research it later.
**********
After much work, we were finally able to bring the Expel Hope to Eluria Tower. When the gate guards first saw us they were amazed. Then they finally were able to regain consciousness and report that the weapon had finally arrived. I put the others in charge and went off to the tower to look for everyone. I was walking towards the elevator section when I spotted big sister Rena eating a crepe. I ran towards here waving.
"Leon!" she practically yelled. "It's so good to see you!" She then embraced me in a tight hug. "How have you been?"
"It took some time getting over the fact that my parents were gone, but after that I was finally able to enjoy life again," I told her.
She smiled and said,"That's great, Leon. We should get the others together and have a little party."
"That will be nice. I have something to show all of you too," I told her.
"Really? What is it?" she asked.
"That'll have to wait til later, hehehe!" I said and then started to walk away.
"Aww come on!" I heard her yell after me, but I just smiled and walked to the elevators.
**********
Greetings had been exchanged and dinner had been eaten. We all then gathered in the conference room. When every one was sitting I decided to tell them about what had happened in on the ship.
"Hmm, what's a Telesphere?" pondered Chisato.
I scratched my head and replied,"Who knows? It could be some kind of technology that those beast use. Why it came to me, I have no idea."
"So what's the thing you said you were going to show us?" Rena piped up.
"Hmm...? Oh yes, let me find it...aha! Here it is," I pulled out the the black metal bracelet.
Celine looked at it in disgust."Ugh! What an ugly piece of jewelery."
"It's not used as decoration. It creates a sort of bubble around you. You can travel through space with this." I said.
"Wow, that's pretty amazing...," Claude said with an astonished looking face."Can I see it?"
As I was handing the bracelet to Claude, Ururun made a noise and then Ashton nodded in agreement. "Hey! I remember that I found something in my room yesterday," he said as he was getting up. He fiddled around in his pocket and then pulled out what seemed to be a metal disk of some sort. "I found it on the floor by the window. I guess someone threw in it or something."
I lifted the disk up. It was surprisingly light. "I don't think so. We're too high for someone to throw something this light through your window," I said. As I examined it more closely, I found a a small recess in the center. "Did you find anything else by it?" I asked.
"Nope. Just that. Why do you ask?" Ashton asked me.
"It seems that something goes in here in the middle," I said as i pointed out the recess.
"Now that you think of it," Celine said as she lifted her right wrist onto the table," I found this small red glowing ball in the garden yesterday. It was right under Ashton's window too, now that I think about it."
"Let me see it!" I yelled urgently that Celine almost fell back.
"Calm down darling!" she said and she took the ball out of a hole in her bracelet and handed it to me.
"Let's see what will happen...," I put the the ball in the middle of the disk then something strange started to happen. A light shot out of the ball and expanded to make a blue transparent cylinder in on top of the disk. Then something even stranger happened. A woman with very long hair ad in a fancy looking robe appeared. She was saying something but it was in a different language. I couldn't understand it.
"What is she saying?" asked the bewildered Chisato.
"Who knows," replied Claude," but she sure looks distressed."
And that was true, for the woman kept looking around and she seemed to be sweating. Then all of a sudden she disappeared and a huge map of space appeared. Everything zoomed into one planet. Its name was written in some other language too. The planet then disappeared and a picture of mountain appeared. There was an arrow that pointed to a strange rock formation at the foot of the mountain. The woman then came back and talked a bit before the whole transparent light disappeared.
We were all shocked.
"I never saw any technology like this on planet Nede," said Noel.
"This must be the teleshpere that ogre wanted...," I said as I was examining the disk.
"I know that planet...," said Claude staring blankly.
Everyone then looked at him and went, "Huh?"
"That planet is how I got to Expel and this whole adventure started. That is planet Milocinia..."
"Leon, the Expel Hope is loaded up on the boat and ready for departure to El. Are yo-" asked Jack. Jack was 17 years old and quite intelligent. The King of Lacour asked me if I would take him in and I accepted. He is really nice, but he is always trying to impress me.
