Chapter Six
Cave Of Dreams
Enrique looked worriedly at Bryan as they started to leave the hotel the necromancer had gotten over his fit the following day and the sun was now just popping up over head of course, the team had grumbled about getting up so early but one look from Kai shut everyone up. Kevin jumped the last few steps that led out from the hotel and hit the dirt below and sighed while rubbing his eyes he was so tired and it showed with the dark lines under his eyes. In truth he looked like he would flop over and start snoring at any moment.
The rest weren't any better off as they all lacked sleep even Johnny didn't even try to make any odd cackling noises or even attempted at teasing Kai about his messed up hair since there were no combs considering they were booted out of the hotel since they didn't have enough money to stay any longer. Tala moaned as they crossed the exact same path as they had done before and turned to face Kai who was leading them as it seemed in a circle. Clearing his throat he yawned before he said anything to assure he wouldn't mess up what he would say in mid sentence.
"Kai do you know where were going?" he asked scratching his flaming red hair eyeing the merchants in the area that seemed to give him the creeps "I don't like this place much..." he added as an after thought as many of the demons and people alike eyed him weirdly which gave him the shivers. The blue haired mage grunted something that wasn't understandable as he stopped dead in his tracks his gaze sweeping the area focusing on the same man that had mouthed him off earlier on the bench, was in a tree hanging upside down waving at them cheerfully.
Approaching the tree the group gave half of their attention giving the bandanna wearer the impression he was surrounded by mindless zombies and still being his cheerful self "so you've decided to actually go to the Cave of Dreams?" he looked at all there faces and his cheerful smile widened even more till it looked like his face would crack "okay here is the key" he handed over the key to Kai who was very hesitant in taking it and glared at the stranger. Before anyone could even attempt at saying another word, Johnny came forward and started screaming his bloody head off to release anger or just to be tough no one knew but Johnny himself.
"Look man we don't even know who the hell you are you haven't even said anything to us about well anything!" the group behind him all sighed and glanced at anything else as the red mages voice was constantly a headache to the rest "you forget Johnny" Kevin said scratching his hair while he rubbed his pointed ears with the other hand "he said his name was Jazz honestly with memory like yours I'm surprised you're actually a mage at all" even through his sleepy state the elf still seemed to be wise and let out a chuckle at his own small joke before shoving the fiery red haired teenager aside.
"You say there is a parchment inside this Cave of Dreams and yet you say nothing more than that.how do we know we can truly trust your information?" the midget of the group asked while giving Jazz a wary look as it was in his blood to not trust anything unless you know it was trustworthy he learned the hard way with humans not to long ago. Even since then his kind has still not made piece and were drove to the forests because of it, which has now been there home for generations. The demon merely glanced at the wise elf with understanding eyes he knew the elf clan and how they reacted to any other race especially the humans it was almost like him with humans or any other demons that disrespected him, of course several seemed to do that lately even going as far as to insult his heritage.
The bandanna wearing man curled his hand into a fist securing the key tightly; the long cord that had originally been whole was now snapped in half causing the key to slip off the end leaving the black cord completely separate to it. "Well fine then don't trust my words but even I would at least want you to have a good idea of what is to come .not that I have been in there or anything" the demons eyes swerved to the left for a few seconds thinking swiftly of what to say and how to put it in simple dialect for the rather dense group before him. "This is the only key that will open the gates but beware of monsters and as for the parchment well." he frowned scratching his chin in thought while the others looked eager for information except for the more mature ones such as Kai, Kevin and Bryan.
"Their have been rumors that the cave has been sealed off from others for so long that it has its own protector or guardian you could even call it, so I suggest you be on your guard" after those few final words the key was thrusted towards Tala hitting him in the forehead much to his displeasure as it was made out of some sort of animal, since it certainly felt like a bone of some sort, which just added to the eerie thought of what was to come. Cringing just by the feel of it in his hands Tala quickly stuffed it into his pocket, the smooth surface of the bone key not only gave him the shivers whenever he touched it, but also gave him a discomforted feeling of despair that seemed to come from it. Trying to de-concern himself of the item he realized that he was the only one that was still standing where Jazz had just been telling them all about what to expect from the cave or rather there next destination.
"I want to comb my hair."
"Johnny.shut up before I make you." Kai grumbled as they left the outskirts of the town and headed south east toward the proclaimed Cave of Dreams unaware of the very one that sent them there, following them silently from up above them. ----------
Not to far north a lone figure walked along the rocky now turned sandy path surrounded by long grassy fields on either side, stopping briefly he lowered himself to the ground and frowned at the area as he drew the map that had formed in his head on the sandy path. The elders of his village to the east had told him to go and experience the outside world and find out the cause of the unbalance in the far west and the disturbance that they had foreseen the nights ago when reading the constellations and the alignment of the planets. He had decided to leave early in the morning in order to get a head start he knew whoever made the disturbance had to have great power and the only one known with great magic was.
His eyes narrowed as he even dared to think of who the one behind the disruption could have been and possibly is, yet the more he thought of it the more probable it sounded. Lifting himself back up he closed his eye and rubbed his forehead the one thing that actually separated him from the other villagers was the sign on his forehead. Though it was small yet painfully obvious it was a sign a birthmark even telling of his connection to the sacred spirits that keep the world in balance but it also told of his heritage, of the Shican tribe that were gifted with the powers to summon the very spirits that protected the world.
Growling slightly he continued onwards shaking away a few of the bugs that had manage to crawl over his boots, and with a slight frown once again on his face he kept his eyes on the ground and trekked North hoping to reach Surunci the town where he was originally born in. Step after step was taken his footsteps were only brief and soon were swept off the very trail by the wind, for the occasion he was going to he wore a brief battle outfit long robes in a dark black shaded color with an outline of silver, underneath he wore a long white shirt, navy blue pants, complete with a sandy brown boots.
Robert grunted as his dark purple hood became entangled by a branch and quickly turned around snapping it in half with his bare hands, now it seemed everything wanted to slow down his progress nature itself must hate him as well. It wasn't long till he started hearing things "hey there cutey" was one among several things he started to hear, no doubt from females and by the sounds of it pretty young. But he knew the voices there were only two annoying people he knew with vocal cords that sounded like squeaky toys in the whole world or what he had seen of it so far. But being a patient member of the royal family he ignored them at first. "Come back to Boris-sama." was most likely the last straw, he couldn't take it anymore.
It was almost painful to remember the two brats oh yes he remembered them very well. **********
"Uncle I have to do what?"
Robert began to complain as soon as he received word that he had to look after two children slightly younger than him but not by much. Of course at the time he wasn't very patient nor the friendliest child of the bunch in the Shican tribe but he was disputably the most responsible at the time and seemed perfect for the job. "You will look after my Grand daughters," the other purple haired man had said his tone of voice seemed to make it an order regardless of what Robert said he couldn't change the older mans way and thus received the job. He was also offered a small pay for babysitting them while the adults (Voltaire, Boris, and several elders) went out of town to excavate a sudden new guardian that appeared in the tomb of the sacred beasts.
Thinking nothing of the two little girls he thought them harmless, that was probably his first mistake.. one of many as he was soon to find out they were nasty little devil children spawns from hell itself. One had long pink hair and cat like eyes her sharp teeth, combined her looks gave off an eerie feeling while the other with almost carrot colored hair and brainy glasses that just wanted to make him laugh, though it did give off a feeling of her IQ was more than average. Something he should have been forewarned of. As soon as the adults hiked away he was left with them at first it seemed easy enough with a few simple tasks of getting them amused somehow and off his back. This proved to be much harder than expected as the cat like one Mariah seemed to literally cling to his leg the whole time therefore he had to actually drag her everywhere he went. Emily was a nuisance she tore everything apart everything.that was not his.
It started with his room which was left intact amazingly although when staying with his uncle his room was naturally almost always neat but Boris's room was another story Mariah detached herself from Robert and went over to the sacred scrolls that kept several pieces of information about each sacred spirit and the new ones that were being discovered. The pink child had torn them all up it got worse when Emily somehow lit a match and burned all of his uncles books that were carefully wrote in everyday.
However one thing he remembered was getting in deep shit once his uncle came home.the devils made it seem like they were angels and he was the cause of the mess. From then on he hated them, even hated them enough to loathe them and swore he would get his revenge someday. **********
He couldn't help but shudder at the memory he was beaten severely for disobeying his uncles order, the scar on his back was proof of it. By now he had zoned out so much he didn't hear the voices nor did he pay much attention to what he was muttering until he became acutely aware he was summoning a sacred spirit and soon the ground before him began to quake as the sky darkened. The winds picked up as a circle shape appeared in front of Robert and exploded just as fast as it appeared sending bits of molten rock everywhere except near the summoner.
A giant bird covered in the brightest flames let out a shrill phoenix call as it spread it's wings to there full extent looking intimidating to all that would dare to oppose it. The summoner was no fool not by any means he knew he was being followed but he didn't know where although his language in the phoenix tongue wasn't that bad he could easily misinterpret it a word just by getting a note wrong. Although he had no musical talent he had a special gift that no one else in his village or tribe was granted, the ability to speak several languages just by listening to it for a small amount of time he could learn any language.
This of course was kept from everyone //Dranzer!// the fiery phoenix turned it's head to the purple haired teenager as it heard its native tongue being spoken, among humans it was considered impossible to imitate a phoenix call but Robert had no problem in doing so. //Burn the fields, everything in this area has to be burned!// the large creature made a shrill sound and spread it's wings making nearby trees erupt into flames but just to be safe Robert moved behind the sacred beast as to not be in the line of fire.
Before he could say anything else to the phoenix everything around him burst into flames as the ground seemed to open up and spit out molten lava taking out most of the plant life in just seconds as it melted and snapped off into the fire. Blinking once, then a second time the flames seemed to have disappeared but the damage of the attack remained as a scorching wasteland all the crops and greenery had completely demolished into pieces of dirt and piles of rubbish and dead wildlife that he could care less for.
"Ow..like oh my god who turned up the heat!"
"Like no kidding!"
Robert glared at the two as they appeared and like he had thought earlier he was indeed being followed and by the very two brats that he remembered and wanted revenge on, looks like he was going to get it after all. Though he could probably wipe them out in no time flat he didn't even know what they studied under, for all he knew they could be summoner's or worse, he cringed at the thought of something worse then annoying squabbling girls and made a mental note to buy a forgetful potion sometime to rid his memory of them. Stroking Dranzers feathers he glared at the two sticking his staff in the ground while rolling his eyes, the two never stopped talking in truth, it was beginning to get on his nerves too.
It wasn't until the third voice butted in did Robert actually began to prepare himself for the worst "now girls you should show some respect to my nephew." the man wore a black hat with pieces of white cloth hanging down either side, a long black coat was worn with gold outlining, he wore baggy black pants and wore a pair of white gloves, underneath his hat his purple hair although partially hidden was indeed there. Now if there was anybody in the whole world Robert held a powerful grudge against it was the man he could hardly call uncle the man didn't act like it and couldn't even take on the roll of it. 'But why is he here though?' Robert stepped back slightly two against one was pretty simple to overcome but with such an expert in warlock magic backing up the other two he doubted his chance of winning even with strong spirits on his side.
"What are you doing here Boris?" ----------
"Enrique if I have to listen to one more STUPID song I swear I'm going to." Kai let his threat hang as he stormed off leading the group deeper into the caves, the rest followed sighing unhappily all except the blond fairy that was enjoying annoying everyone he possibly could his favorite victim/ target , Kai. "Aw but you like my songs don't you?" Enrique hovered above Kai and landed on the pale blue haired teenager head and started to sing to the full potential his lungs could reach "It's the song that never ends It just goes on and on my friends Some people started singing it Not knowing what it was And they're gonna keep on singing it forever just because It's the song that never ends It just goes on and on my friends..." due to the loudness and enclosed space it echoed seemingly just doing that to tick Kai off as the ice mage clenched his fist.
Although they were tired and cranky from their lack of sleep the most calm team member seemed to be the worst off though his temper was something else, since one can only handle so much.
"Tala you better hope that fairy has more than one life." Tala inwardly gulped as Enrique continued to annoy Kai as they continued deeper into the cave, the tunnels themselves narrowed every once in awhile sometimes coming to a dead end if they took a wrong turn. Course Johnny would throw a fit at how the other way was the right way like he said it was but this only made everyone else sigh even Bryan was beginning to doubt how he could had gotten caught up with a group of ignorant and arrogant people.
"Okay Johnny" Kai snapped as the cave tunnel split up once again into four different paths all looking remarkably the same although he was sure only one would lead them to whatever area they had to go to get the so called treasure that Jazz had spoke off. "Well straight of course!" Kevin smacked his head it was the fourth.fifth time they had gone the same way hell he bet his weapons and clothes that they were just getting lost as they went on but did that stop Tala and the rest? No.
Tala kept his head down as he listened to the others jabber it was his way of thinking a sign to others he didn't want to be bothered. So far no one had noticed his quiet demeanor except an equally silent Bryan that would shoot him odd looks as the rest passed the times with a trivia game. The necromancer paused and studied the hybrids face searching for any signs of frustration or deep thinking, seeing nothing he decided to start a conversation since walking and watching a never ending cave wall was pretty boring to him.and none of the others save for maybe Kevin seemed to be very intelligent.
"What are you thinking about?"
The cursed teen looked at Bryan briefly before returning his gaze to the floor he was honestly thinking of nothing but what his home would be like now his friends, his parents and how they would be if they were even alive since tornado season had begun not too long ago since he had left. "Nothing much." he responded sullenly for all he knew his home could be completely gone from a freak accident like with him and the warlock, Boris "hn." 'So much for a conversation' Bryan sighed and stopped in his path as he noticed movement in the ground and quickly ceased Tala's movement by grabbing his wrist and pulling him back away from whatever was in front of them.
The midget of the group most likely noticed it before anyone else since his sensitive hearing had started to pick up something underground that had followed them ever since they went in the cave something had instantly kept a close watch on them as they traveled through. "It's the thing that's been following us ever since we started to enter this stupid cave!" Kevin shouted a bit too loudly as the self-described 'thing' sprouted out of the ground flailing it's bone arms left and right before gazing at the intruders.
"Oh my gosh" Enrique didn't need to be told twice as Kai gaped, what they were looking at was supposedly and extinct animal not even magic could bring a boneless dragon back from the dead since it was already dead from the start. It was said to be a hell spawn from Lukawna the god of death on Calanis. The dragon was quite small and was considered a baby back some thousand years ago when they were more common the face was almost sickening to look at as was the body and the ripped and torn wings even the ground seemed to die as it stepped closer to the awed group.
"That's a Volcune." Bryan said making a disgusted face as the smell made its presence known the smell of death from other things that have died in or by the creature. "A Volcune?" Tala looked to the others for information as Kai sighed and waved his arms in his face before plugging his nose "a Volcune were common about a thousand years ago they were used by ancient dragon riders and dragoons but now you would hardly ever see them.they are said to be very unfriendly to any living being" the ice mage backed up a bit the smell becoming a bit unbearable.
"And dangerous." the fairy added wondering why it was in the cave anyway.
The hot headed member rolled his eyes hearing more stuff about the creature that was half his height that could be destroyed by his boot or by his superior magic "what are you guys talking about its freaking harmless geez it's a baby dragon!" the pyro shouted back at the cautious group that were now.quite far away none of them daring to even touch it. While Johnny prepared to prove them wrong the group were now quite unsure at how to get rid of the creature since nothing was ever printed about the Volcune's since they were extinct long ago, only there name and description was ever recovered from ancient findings.
"See watch this!" the fire mage bent down until he was face to face with the creature and nearly passed out from the smell but stubbornly he held his breath and reached out his hand and patted the watery, smooth, yet rough skull head not even paying attention to the warning growl emitted from it's throat. "See it's harmless!" he turned his head to the group and stuck out his tongue finishing that sentence before a chomping sound was heard as his face went from happy to pained in seconds as the dragon chomped onto his hand.
"ITAI!"

Chapter Six
Cave Of Dreams
Enrique looked worriedly at Bryan as they started to leave the hotel the necromancer had gotten over his fit the following day and the sun was now just popping up over head of course, the team had grumbled about getting up so early but one look from Kai shut everyone up. Kevin jumped the last few steps that led out from the hotel and hit the dirt below and sighed while rubbing his eyes he was so tired and it showed with the dark lines under his eyes. In truth he looked like he would flop over and start snoring at any moment.
The rest weren't any better off as they all lacked sleep even Johnny didn't even try to make any odd cackling noises or even attempted at teasing Kai about his messed up hair since there were no combs considering they were booted out of the hotel since they didn't have enough money to stay any longer. Tala moaned as they crossed the exact same path as they had done before and turned to face Kai who was leading them as it seemed in a circle. Clearing his throat he yawned before he said anything to assure he wouldn't mess up what he would say in mid sentence.
"Kai do you know where were going?" he asked scratching his flaming red hair eyeing the merchants in the area that seemed to give him the creeps "I don't like this place much..." he added as an after thought as many of the demons and people alike eyed him weirdly which gave him the shivers. The blue haired mage grunted something that wasn't understandable as he stopped dead in his tracks his gaze sweeping the area focusing on the same man that had mouthed him off earlier on the bench, was in a tree hanging upside down waving at them cheerfully.
Approaching the tree the group gave half of their attention giving the bandanna wearer the impression he was surrounded by mindless zombies and still being his cheerful self "so you've decided to actually go to the Cave of Dreams?" he looked at all there faces and his cheerful smile widened even more till it looked like his face would crack "okay here is the key" he handed over the key to Kai who was very hesitant in taking it and glared at the stranger. Before anyone could even attempt at saying another word, Johnny came forward and started screaming his bloody head off to release anger or just to be tough no one knew but Johnny himself.
"Look man we don't even know who the hell you are you haven't even said anything to us about well anything!" the group behind him all sighed and glanced at anything else as the red mages voice was constantly a headache to the rest "you forget Johnny" Kevin said scratching his hair while he rubbed his pointed ears with the other hand "he said his name was Jazz honestly with memory like yours I'm surprised you're actually a mage at all" even through his sleepy state the elf still seemed to be wise and let out a chuckle at his own small joke before shoving the fiery red haired teenager aside.
"You say there is a parchment inside this Cave of Dreams and yet you say nothing more than that.how do we know we can truly trust your information?" the midget of the group asked while giving Jazz a wary look as it was in his blood to not trust anything unless you know it was trustworthy he learned the hard way with humans not to long ago. Even since then his kind has still not made piece and were drove to the forests because of it, which has now been there home for generations. The demon merely glanced at the wise elf with understanding eyes he knew the elf clan and how they reacted to any other race especially the humans it was almost like him with humans or any other demons that disrespected him, of course several seemed to do that lately even going as far as to insult his heritage.
The bandanna wearing man curled his hand into a fist securing the key tightly; the long cord that had originally been whole was now snapped in half causing the key to slip off the end leaving the black cord completely separate to it. "Well fine then don't trust my words but even I would at least want you to have a good idea of what is to come .not that I have been in there or anything" the demons eyes swerved to the left for a few seconds thinking swiftly of what to say and how to put it in simple dialect for the rather dense group before him. "This is the only key that will open the gates but beware of monsters and as for the parchment well." he frowned scratching his chin in thought while the others looked eager for information except for the more mature ones such as Kai, Kevin and Bryan.
"Their have been rumors that the cave has been sealed off from others for so long that it has its own protector or guardian you could even call it, so I suggest you be on your guard" after those few final words the key was thrusted towards Tala hitting him in the forehead much to his displeasure as it was made out of some sort of animal, since it certainly felt like a bone of some sort, which just added to the eerie thought of what was to come. Cringing just by the feel of it in his hands Tala quickly stuffed it into his pocket, the smooth surface of the bone key not only gave him the shivers whenever he touched it, but also gave him a discomforted feeling of despair that seemed to come from it. Trying to de-concern himself of the item he realized that he was the only one that was still standing where Jazz had just been telling them all about what to expect from the cave or rather there next destination.
"I want to comb my hair."
"Johnny.shut up before I make you." Kai grumbled as they left the outskirts of the town and headed south east toward the proclaimed Cave of Dreams unaware of the very one that sent them there, following them silently from up above them. ----------
Not to far north a lone figure walked along the rocky now turned sandy path surrounded by long grassy fields on either side, stopping briefly he lowered himself to the ground and frowned at the area as he drew the map that had formed in his head on the sandy path. The elders of his village to the east had told him to go and experience the outside world and find out the cause of the unbalance in the far west and the disturbance that they had foreseen the nights ago when reading the constellations and the alignment of the planets. He had decided to leave early in the morning in order to get a head start he knew whoever made the disturbance had to have great power and the only one known with great magic was.
His eyes narrowed as he even dared to think of who the one behind the disruption could have been and possibly is, yet the more he thought of it the more probable it sounded. Lifting himself back up he closed his eye and rubbed his forehead the one thing that actually separated him from the other villagers was the sign on his forehead. Though it was small yet painfully obvious it was a sign a birthmark even telling of his connection to the sacred spirits that keep the world in balance but it also told of his heritage, of the Shican tribe that were gifted with the powers to summon the very spirits that protected the world.
Growling slightly he continued onwards shaking away a few of the bugs that had manage to crawl over his boots, and with a slight frown once again on his face he kept his eyes on the ground and trekked North hoping to reach Surunci the town where he was originally born in. Step after step was taken his footsteps were only brief and soon were swept off the very trail by the wind, for the occasion he was going to he wore a brief battle outfit long robes in a dark black shaded color with an outline of silver, underneath he wore a long white shirt, navy blue pants, complete with a sandy brown boots.
Robert grunted as his dark purple hood became entangled by a branch and quickly turned around snapping it in half with his bare hands, now it seemed everything wanted to slow down his progress nature itself must hate him as well. It wasn't long till he started hearing things "hey there cutey" was one among several things he started to hear, no doubt from females and by the sounds of it pretty young. But he knew the voices there were only two annoying people he knew with vocal cords that sounded like squeaky toys in the whole world or what he had seen of it so far. But being a patient member of the royal family he ignored them at first. "Come back to Boris-sama." was most likely the last straw, he couldn't take it anymore.
It was almost painful to remember the two brats oh yes he remembered them very well. **********
"Uncle I have to do what?"
Robert began to complain as soon as he received word that he had to look after two children slightly younger than him but not by much. Of course at the time he wasn't very patient nor the friendliest child of the bunch in the Shican tribe but he was disputably the most responsible at the time and seemed perfect for the job. "You will look after my Grand daughters," the other purple haired man had said his tone of voice seemed to make it an order regardless of what Robert said he couldn't change the older mans way and thus received the job. He was also offered a small pay for babysitting them while the adults (Voltaire, Boris, and several elders) went out of town to excavate a sudden new guardian that appeared in the tomb of the sacred beasts.
Thinking nothing of the two little girls he thought them harmless, that was probably his first mistake.. one of many as he was soon to find out they were nasty little devil children spawns from hell itself. One had long pink hair and cat like eyes her sharp teeth, combined her looks gave off an eerie feeling while the other with almost carrot colored hair and brainy glasses that just wanted to make him laugh, though it did give off a feeling of her IQ was more than average. Something he should have been forewarned of. As soon as the adults hiked away he was left with them at first it seemed easy enough with a few simple tasks of getting them amused somehow and off his back. This proved to be much harder than expected as the cat like one Mariah seemed to literally cling to his leg the whole time therefore he had to actually drag her everywhere he went. Emily was a nuisance she tore everything apart everything.that was not his.
It started with his room which was left intact amazingly although when staying with his uncle his room was naturally almost always neat but Boris's room was another story Mariah detached herself from Robert and went over to the sacred scrolls that kept several pieces of information about each sacred spirit and the new ones that were being discovered. The pink child had torn them all up it got worse when Emily somehow lit a match and burned all of his uncles books that were carefully wrote in everyday.
However one thing he remembered was getting in deep shit once his uncle came home.the devils made it seem like they were angels and he was the cause of the mess. From then on he hated them, even hated them enough to loathe them and swore he would get his revenge someday. **********
He couldn't help but shudder at the memory he was beaten severely for disobeying his uncles order, the scar on his back was proof of it. By now he had zoned out so much he didn't hear the voices nor did he pay much attention to what he was muttering until he became acutely aware he was summoning a sacred spirit and soon the ground before him began to quake as the sky darkened. The winds picked up as a circle shape appeared in front of Robert and exploded just as fast as it appeared sending bits of molten rock everywhere except near the summoner.
A giant bird covered in the brightest flames let out a shrill phoenix call as it spread it's wings to there full extent looking intimidating to all that would dare to oppose it. The summoner was no fool not by any means he knew he was being followed but he didn't know where although his language in the phoenix tongue wasn't that bad he could easily misinterpret it a word just by getting a note wrong. Although he had no musical talent he had a special gift that no one else in his village or tribe was granted, the ability to speak several languages just by listening to it for a small amount of time he could learn any language.
This of course was kept from everyone //Dranzer!// the fiery phoenix turned it's head to the purple haired teenager as it heard its native tongue being spoken, among humans it was considered impossible to imitate a phoenix call but Robert had no problem in doing so. //Burn the fields, everything in this area has to be burned!// the large creature made a shrill sound and spread it's wings making nearby trees erupt into flames but just to be safe Robert moved behind the sacred beast as to not be in the line of fire.
Before he could say anything else to the phoenix everything around him burst into flames as the ground seemed to open up and spit out molten lava taking out most of the plant life in just seconds as it melted and snapped off into the fire. Blinking once, then a second time the flames seemed to have disappeared but the damage of the attack remained as a scorching wasteland all the crops and greenery had completely demolished into pieces of dirt and piles of rubbish and dead wildlife that he could care less for.
"Ow..like oh my god who turned up the heat!"
"Like no kidding!"
Robert glared at the two as they appeared and like he had thought earlier he was indeed being followed and by the very two brats that he remembered and wanted revenge on, looks like he was going to get it after all. Though he could probably wipe them out in no time flat he didn't even know what they studied under, for all he knew they could be summoner's or worse, he cringed at the thought of something worse then annoying squabbling girls and made a mental note to buy a forgetful potion sometime to rid his memory of them. Stroking Dranzers feathers he glared at the two sticking his staff in the ground while rolling his eyes, the two never stopped talking in truth, it was beginning to get on his nerves too.
It wasn't until the third voice butted in did Robert actually began to prepare himself for the worst "now girls you should show some respect to my nephew." the man wore a black hat with pieces of white cloth hanging down either side, a long black coat was worn with gold outlining, he wore baggy black pants and wore a pair of white gloves, underneath his hat his purple hair although partially hidden was indeed there. Now if there was anybody in the whole world Robert held a powerful grudge against it was the man he could hardly call uncle the man didn't act like it and couldn't even take on the roll of it. 'But why is he here though?' Robert stepped back slightly two against one was pretty simple to overcome but with such an expert in warlock magic backing up the other two he doubted his chance of winning even with strong spirits on his side.
"What are you doing here Boris?" ----------
"Enrique if I have to listen to one more STUPID song I swear I'm going to." Kai let his threat hang as he stormed off leading the group deeper into the caves, the rest followed sighing unhappily all except the blond fairy that was enjoying annoying everyone he possibly could his favorite victim/ target , Kai. "Aw but you like my songs don't you?" Enrique hovered above Kai and landed on the pale blue haired teenager head and started to sing to the full potential his lungs could reach "It's the song that never ends It just goes on and on my friends Some people started singing it Not knowing what it was And they're gonna keep on singing it forever just because It's the song that never ends It just goes on and on my friends..." due to the loudness and enclosed space it echoed seemingly just doing that to tick Kai off as the ice mage clenched his fist.
Although they were tired and cranky from their lack of sleep the most calm team member seemed to be the worst off though his temper was something else, since one can only handle so much.
"Tala you better hope that fairy has more than one life." Tala inwardly gulped as Enrique continued to annoy Kai as they continued deeper into the cave, the tunnels themselves narrowed every once in awhile sometimes coming to a dead end if they took a wrong turn. Course Johnny would throw a fit at how the other way was the right way like he said it was but this only made everyone else sigh even Bryan was beginning to doubt how he could had gotten caught up with a group of ignorant and arrogant people.
"Okay Johnny" Kai snapped as the cave tunnel split up once again into four different paths all looking remarkably the same although he was sure only one would lead them to whatever area they had to go to get the so called treasure that Jazz had spoke off. "Well straight of course!" Kevin smacked his head it was the fourth.fifth time they had gone the same way hell he bet his weapons and clothes that they were just getting lost as they went on but did that stop Tala and the rest? No.
Tala kept his head down as he listened to the others jabber it was his way of thinking a sign to others he didn't want to be bothered. So far no one had noticed his quiet demeanor except an equally silent Bryan that would shoot him odd looks as the rest passed the times with a trivia game. The necromancer paused and studied the hybrids face searching for any signs of frustration or deep thinking, seeing nothing he decided to start a conversation since walking and watching a never ending cave wall was pretty boring to him.and none of the others save for maybe Kevin seemed to be very intelligent.
"What are you thinking about?"
The cursed teen looked at Bryan briefly before returning his gaze to the floor he was honestly thinking of nothing but what his home would be like now his friends, his parents and how they would be if they were even alive since tornado season had begun not too long ago since he had left. "Nothing much." he responded sullenly for all he knew his home could be completely gone from a freak accident like with him and the warlock, Boris "hn." 'So much for a conversation' Bryan sighed and stopped in his path as he noticed movement in the ground and quickly ceased Tala's movement by grabbing his wrist and pulling him back away from whatever was in front of them.
The midget of the group most likely noticed it before anyone else since his sensitive hearing had started to pick up something underground that had followed them ever since they went in the cave something had instantly kept a close watch on them as they traveled through. "It's the thing that's been following us ever since we started to enter this stupid cave!" Kevin shouted a bit too loudly as the self-described 'thing' sprouted out of the ground flailing it's bone arms left and right before gazing at the intruders.
"Oh my gosh" Enrique didn't need to be told twice as Kai gaped, what they were looking at was supposedly and extinct animal not even magic could bring a boneless dragon back from the dead since it was already dead from the start. It was said to be a hell spawn from Lukawna the god of death on Calanis. The dragon was quite small and was considered a baby back some thousand years ago when they were more common the face was almost sickening to look at as was the body and the ripped and torn wings even the ground seemed to die as it stepped closer to the awed group.
"That's a Volcune." Bryan said making a disgusted face as the smell made its presence known the smell of death from other things that have died in or by the creature. "A Volcune?" Tala looked to the others for information as Kai sighed and waved his arms in his face before plugging his nose "a Volcune were common about a thousand years ago they were used by ancient dragon riders and dragoons but now you would hardly ever see them.they are said to be very unfriendly to any living being" the ice mage backed up a bit the smell becoming a bit unbearable.
"And dangerous." the fairy added wondering why it was in the cave anyway.
The hot headed member rolled his eyes hearing more stuff about the creature that was half his height that could be destroyed by his boot or by his superior magic "what are you guys talking about its freaking harmless geez it's a baby dragon!" the pyro shouted back at the cautious group that were now.quite far away none of them daring to even touch it. While Johnny prepared to prove them wrong the group were now quite unsure at how to get rid of the creature since nothing was ever printed about the Volcune's since they were extinct long ago, only there name and description was ever recovered from ancient findings.
"See watch this!" the fire mage bent down until he was face to face with the creature and nearly passed out from the smell but stubbornly he held his breath and reached out his hand and patted the watery, smooth, yet rough skull head not even paying attention to the warning growl emitted from it's throat. "See it's harmless!" he turned his head to the group and stuck out his tongue finishing that sentence before a chomping sound was heard as his face went from happy to pained in seconds as the dragon chomped onto his hand.
"ITAI!"
