The head of the Council of Elders went flying threw the portal on Eternia, and out the other end to where he could only assume was Earth, crashing on the same stone floor as on the other end of the portal, face first. With a groan, he pushed himself up with his arms and stood up. He turned around and saw the same type of stone circle that was in the other temple he was in a few seconds ago.
The white swirling mass within the circle was there to but flickering in and out. A few seconds later it finally flickered out taking with it the only source of light within the structure.
"Oh well, that can be easliy solved" and with that a ball of light formed in his hand.
He looked at the stone circle and thought to himself, "atleast Hiss won't get the Staff of Light, for now."
He looked around and saw that the room was exactly like the previse one he had been in a mintue ago. No writing, no torch holders, no statues. Just the stone circle in the center of the room behind him and a passage way leading out of the room infront of him.
"Well might as well see whats outside" he said to himself.
Once outside he turned around saw that there was no temple there, just an entrace built into the side of a steep, barren mountain. "I guess the people who built this side wanted to keep it a secret" he thought to himself.
He then turned back around and saw more barren mountains and desert and what appeared to be a town a few miles away. "Well" he thought, "atleast theres a town near by. Maybe I can walk down there and find out where I'm at, asuming this heat doesn't kill me first. Maybe I should wait until dark when it has cooled down out here." After that thought he heard a male voice cry out. "Hello" the voice yell, "are you lost?"
He turned around and saw the owner of the voice. It was a young man in his early twenties. He was about five feet, ten inches tall, and well built. He had dark brown hair, tanned skin, and was wearing a light gray shirt with short sleeves, blue pants, brown boots, glasses with very dark lenes, and a cream colored hat with a single bill sticking out in front tha had the letters A D I D A S writen on it.
Eldor yell out to the strangely dressed young man, "Yes I am."
The young man ran up to the older man and say how strangely he was dressed wearing what appeared to be a white monk's robe.
The younger man, pointing towards the entrance, asked the older man, "did you come from in there?"
Eldor having nothing to lose by telling the young man the truth said to him, "yes, I did."
The younger man looked at him wide eyed. "Are you from Eternia" he asked?
Now it was Eldor's turn to stare at him wide eyed. "Yes" he said, "have you gone inside there before?"
"Yes."
"And threw the portal inside there?"
"Yes."
They now stared at each other, wide eyed and bewildered. Fianally breaking the silence, Eldor spoke up to the young man and asked, "may I ask what is your name son?"
"My name is Gary Glenn sir" the young man answered.
Eldor now stared at him, shocked, and asked, "Are you related to Marleena Glenn?"
The young man named Gary, very surprised that the old man had asked that answered, "yes she is my aunt. Well she was my aunt but she died over twenty years in an accident while flying a new spaceship for NASA. Why did you ask that? Is she still alive?"
Eldor answered the young man, "yes she is Gary. Infact she is now the Queen of Eternos."
Gary looked at Eldor, stunned. He closed his eyes, took in a deep breath and said, "I should have known. The red hair, her name's Marleena, plus she's an alien. Ofcourse I never did hear what planet she was from." He then formed a small smile on his lips and snickered, "well my grandparents always thought they she would become a very important person." He then looked the the older man and asked, "so whats your name sir?"
"My name is Eldor" he answered.
"Eldor" he said, once again shocked, "Eldor! As in head of the Council of Elders, Eldor!"
"Yes, that would be me."
"I need to sit down" he said in shock. He then took a seat on nearby rock.
Eldor also took a seat on a nearby rock as well.
Looking at Eldor and asking in a dead pan voice, now that he has been all shocked out asked, "why are you here?"
"King Hiss chased me here."
Quickly looking at the entrance he asked with fear in his voice, "hes not coming here, is he?"
"Not now. Not since he destroyed the other end of the portal when he tried to kill me, but I assure you he will try to find a way here."
Gary turned back to Eldor and asked, "why is he trying to kill you?"
Eldor held out the object Hiss was hunting him for, "he wants this" he said, "the Staff of Light."
