Alright... here they are! Sorry I haven't updated for awhile... I actually have been updating on RaymanZone, but haven't really gotten around to doing it here. Hope you guys like!
NOTE: A good chunk has been taken out of Chapter 2. It makes it drasticly shorter, but "adds" to the story if I take it out. Everything will make alot more sense that way. (-)
Chapter 3: Darkness Comes Surely
Where are they? Where could they be? The limbless being thought this as he searched through the glade for the two young fairies who had helped him the day before. His dream last night had really taken a toll on him and he needed to tell someone - anyone about it.
All the dwellings looked the same, so the being had to look through the windows of each one to find the fairies. He finally came upon Ly's dwelling. She was washing her face in the water provided.
"Ly? Ly could you -" the young fairy jumped out of surprise as she heard him say that.
"Oh, it's just you," she replied as she turned around around, rather startled.
"Can I come in?" he asked. She nodded her head and she led him to some padded furniture inside, by the window.
"Was there something you wanted to talk to mr about?" she asked.
The being was having second thoughts about telling her his dream. After all, he barely even knew her - how would she react? "Let's just say... well, I don't know if... I mean it was just a dream... and I-" the being wasn't sure if he wanted to tell her. It WAS just a dream.
Before he could say anything else, she replied, "It's about your past, isn't it?" The being reluctantly shook is head. She continued on, "I held my past inside myself for a long time, too. Everyday, I would think about it - twas all I could do just to focus on something else. It would torment me in my sleep. I couldn't live like that anymore - I would go crazy. I went to Betilla. I figured she could be trustworthy. After all, she was the one who found me as a young, starving, and homeless child and took me in her care. Once I told her my dark past, I felt so relieved. I didn't worry about it anymore. You should talk to her - I think you'd feel alot better."
"Well, alright," the being replied. "I'll think about it. But I-" he was interrupted by a dark figure at the door. It's yellow, glowing eyes were the only definable features. The rest of his body was hidden by hat and cape. Ly, frightened, started to create a defense orb in her hands to throw at the creature, but with a quick twist of the figure's hand, Ly's orb was diminished and her arms twisted in an unnatural way. She yelped in pain and fainted.
What kind of creature is this that can cause pain with a simple body movement? thought the limbless being. The dark figure snapped his fingers and a large scorpion like creature came into view behind him. The limbless being lost consciousness at the sight of it.
