Cynical World

Chapter Three

What Happen Last Time:

"Potter finally lost his mind, that will do the world some good." Draco commented.

"Yeah, I hear it too. "Spike said in some sort of a whisper. "What does it sound like though...?"

"People, a town, village or city. Must be near by." Nina said. She looked at Ron and Elaine. "Yes that probably means food." The two broke out into a smile.

They were all going to yell out in happiness but Hermione silence them. "We mustn't create a disturbance, they might think that we are a threat." Her eyes widen. "Everyone! Quiet! I hear foot steps!" at that everyone stopped and listen. They sound of foots stepping on the earth's ground became louder, as if it was coming towards them.

The footsteps stopped but a new voice spoke. "Who are you all?"

O x O x O x O

The group of lost school kids turned around and saw a boy about six years old with black hair dressed up in clothing that looked like a cross Star Wars and Children of The Dune (like the clothing in the Sci Fi channel version). He carried a basket of laundry in his arms.

Harry was the first to speak. "Excuse me. Can you please tell us were we are?"

The boy stepped back. "You are not from the world?" he whispered and dropped his basket of clothing and ran.

"Hey! Came back here!" Spike called out to the boy can chased after him. Not wanting to be separated everyone ran after Spike.

But Harry, the only one who heard the boy wondered what he meant as he ran after Spike. 'Not from this world? What does he mean by that?' he thought as he ran with the others after the American boy. 'Could it be that Toni was right?'

Spike chased after the kid, and the others chased after Spike. But the running stopped when the others caught up with Spike who was just standing at the end of a hill.

"Spike did you get him? What happen?" Elaine asked as both she and Ron walked up to him. Ron stopped and gasped. "What's wrong...?" Elaine began but stopped midway when she saw what both Spike and Ron saw. "Oh my God..."

By then everyone else caught up with the three and what ever they saw was finally in view. "Sweet Jesus..." murmured Nina as she saw what lay in front of them. Right before them was a large stonewalls that seemed to be circling a city, as if protecting it from all sides. There was a gate made out of wood that seemed to be as tall as the trees, or even taller. There were odd markings bordering the gate.

"No use in calling out to God... he doesn't exist in this world." Hermione muttered to herself as she saw the city.

CLANG!

The gates to the city were opening; the sound caused everyone to jump. In the gateway stood five guards. "Come with us." One of them ordered in a loud voice. The group reluctantly obliged. Soon they entered in the city. It looked like a Stone Age utopia, like Egypt or another Middle Eastern metropolis.

Its streets would be normally filled with people, trading, buying, talking, or children playing, but everyone stayed to the sides, watching the outsiders walk pass them.

"What in God's name is going on?" Draco whispered to Toni, who just stayed silent. Finally the guards stopped. It now seemed as if they were in the middle of the city, and in the middle of the city stood a grand palace and temple.

At the top of the many steps stood a woman, about in her late forties, and five more guards behind her.

"Your Highness." One guard greeted, bowed and then stepped aside of the group. The 'Queen' nodded and descended down the steps until she was right in front of Harry and All.

"Greetings." She said in a strong stern voice. "Welcome to the capital of the grand country of Raia. I am Rui-Rin the 24th and the Head Priestess and Leader of all Raiains."

"Raia?" Harry said in a questionable tone. "Are we-?"

Rui-Rin cut him off. "No, you are not in your in your own world. You are here in the Planet of Etraa."

"Why are we here?" Toni asked. It was the first time she spoke since they have entered the city.

The priestess smiled. "What are your names?" she asked.

Toni narrowed her eyes at the 'Leader' or the Raiaians. "I asked first."

"I'm older then you and my rank is higher, you must answer first." The older woman countered.

"Toni Night." She said, as she knew that the old woman was right.

"Harry Potter."

"Spike Ruth."

"Ron Weasley."

"Nina Winder."

"Hermione Granger."

"Elaine Becker."

"Draco Malfoy." He reluctantly said.

The older woman smiled. "Now, to answer all of your questions, please follow me to the palace." She turned around and walked back up the stairs. They followed after seeing one of the guards reach for his sword when they didn't follow her.

"You will be shown your rooms. Dinner will be brought up later on tonight." Rui-Rin told then before she left for her own room in the palace.

The kids followed the guards and were escorted to their rooms. All girls in one room; all boys in another.

The rooms they were to stay at were like Egyptian bedrooms of the time of Cleopatra. Marble floors, silk and fine clothe everywhere, a balcony for each room, full bathrooms, four beds, and all the works.

Once upon entering the bedroom, Ron went to sleep on one of the beds, Draco went to the bathroom. Spike just lay in bed, but Harry went out to the balcony to think. He thought about what Rui-Rin told them.

"Great, not only do I have to save the world back home but this one too... at least I'm not the only one that has to here." He murmured to himself as he lean against the balcony. He closed his eyes and thought back to what happen only a couple of moments ago.

Flashback

They made their way into what Rui-Rin called The Chamber of Hope. It is a circular room with a blue fire burning in the center of it; there were many more of those odd marks and signs all over the walls, floor and ceiling. Surrounding The Chamber of Hope are shelves built into the walls, and those shelves held scrolls. About 820 scrolls to be exact. All were legends, old epics, laws, or stories of the past, but most importantly, prophecies.

Rui-Rin took a seat on a throne that was on the opposite end of the entrance. "Welcome, to the Chamber of Hope." She said very casually. "To answer you question...uh..."

Toni glared at her. "Toni."

Rui-Rin smiled evilly. "That right, Toni. You question, 'why are you here?' You eight are brought to here, Raia, from your home world to save our country from invading country called Tunrucu, in their language it means 'black hope'. They already have taken over our neightborhing country. If they succeed taking over us, our planet to will fall into darkness for hundreds and hundreds of years."

"Why us then?" Draco asked, not believing what she told them.

"I don't know." The 'queen' said simply. "But my guess it that you eight are special compared to your people, or that by coming here you will receive some power that no one else in both you world and mine can obtain."

Elaine's eyes looked as if she was going to cry. "How long will we stay here?" She asked. Her voice sounded so small.

"Until the war is fought and finish." Rui-Rin replied. "I guess." Ron was about to ask another question but Rui-Rin seemed annoyed. "No more questions! Just listen to this and then you may be taken to your sleeping chambers."

She picked up a certain scroll that was lying beside her throne. She opened it and read, "Children with the blood of ancient magic running through their veins will come from their home to ours. Clouds of dark hope will soon be upon us, no one can save Raia from it. Only the yuna (love), rangu (courage), vimuku (hope), kara (light), riiya (friendship), ruta (knowledge), jiva (reliability), and niru (sincerity) of thy saviors will shine a light on clouds of lost hope."

She then rolled it up and placed it back besides her. "I want you to think about that tonight. I will see you tomorrow and discuss about your journey. Get a good night sleep and a full meal, it may three days before you will reach a town or village that will provide you with a bed and a good meal."

She then stood up and walked passed them before turning around. "You will be shown your rooms. Dinner will be brought up later on tonight." Rui-Rin told them before she left for her own room in the palace.

Harry let out a stressful sigh. As usual, the lives of innocents are on his shoulders. 'Why do I have to save the lives of people I don't even know and I can't save the lives of people I care for?' he asked himself as he thought back to his Godfather.

"Hey, Harry?" the raven-haired boy turned around to see Ron, who just woken up. "Food is here... going to eat?"

Harry nodded and followed Ron back into the room where Spike and Draco were already sitting on the table with plates and bowls of food waiting to be eaten.

"This fruit is good!" Elaine exclaimed as she took another huge bite out of the strange pink and blue fruit in her hands. "Try some, Toni!" she said shoving the fruit into Toni's face.

Toni scrunched up her face in disgust as she saw the juice (which was brown) of the pink and blue fruit flow out of the fruit and make a mess of Elaine's hand. "No thanks. I'm okay..." she told her as she gently pushed her friends hand away from her.

Hermione laughed at Toni's face and then continued to eat her fish. "Mmm... very good, love the texture and the taste..." she commented as she ate. Hermione looked up from her plate. "Nina? Are you going to eat?"

Nina was looking out the window from her bed. She snapped out of her thoughts when Hermione asked her a question. "Hm? Oh, yeah..." she got up and walked up to the table where everyone else was sitting. She picked up a fruit that looked like a banana, peeled it, and took a bite. "Taste like a peach..." she commented as she took a seat between Toni and Hermione, Elaine in front of her on the square table. Nina sat down Indian style on the chair.

"You were wondering if we would make it out alive? Weren't you, Nina?" Toni asked staring down at her plate that was half empty. Hermione and Elaine stopped eating and looked at the two other girls.

"Yeah, I kinda was..." Nina whispered. She tugged on her worn out blue jeans. Her fingers played with the fray edges.

(A/N: everyone is still wearing the same clothes they were in the first chapter)

Elaine then spoke up. "Don't worry, Nina. We will make it out okay, all of us!" she fixed her thick-framed glasses and gave the three girls thumb up signs.

Hermione smiled at Elaine, enjoying her optimistic view of life. Toni rolled her eyes and got up muttering about having to wash her hands and headed for the bathroom. You can hear her chunky black boots walk along the floors.

"Toni always looks at the dark side of everything... as if she looks for no hope." Elaine whispered to Hermione. The sixth year prefect looked at Nina to see if Elaine was right about Toni. Nina nodded and said, "Nothing new about her... she has always been like that ever since we meet her back in first year." Hermione nodded understandingly.

"Well, I'm full." Hermione said as she starched her arms. "I'm going to sleep. Night, everyone." She walked over to her bed, lie down, and fell asleep. Toni came out of the bathroom and walked straight over to the balcony. Elaine stayed at the table still eating as Nina told her that she was going to go and take a walk.

But before she left she turned to Elaine. "Get a good night sleep. I have a feeling tomorrow might be a long one."

A/N: well, now I hope that this answers SOME of your burning questions! But after reading this, I bet you even have more... oh well, you just have to keep reading. One of my friends said that I write really good when it comes to character's with dark past or some physiological trauma, most of my stories have characters like that... so I guess that this story is no exception.

I'm thinking about a couple of chapters later I will do this thing and it will do with all eight of their fears or past. Like their still traveling and it starts to rain and they stumble upon a old castle so they stay there. And that night that they stay there, they will each confront their fears or past separately. Yeah, I'll have so much fun!

Well, please review, NO FLAMES! And if you want a pairing (NO slash and NO fem-slash) then please tell in your review! So... REVIEW! That means even the silent readers! if you are reading then REVIEW! Please!
