Part Two:
The Island Mystic made a strange prophecy, and published it in a book with many of his other predictions. The book became a bestseller, not because of the accuracy of the predictions, but because of the outlandish nature of them, and their incredible ability to not come true. The prophecy was mostly forgotten. Now, let us jump forward ten years, to a group of normal Neopians having a normal day, when something very not-so-normal is about to change their lives...
Present day...
"Come on, Luna, we're gonna miss the ferry to Meridell!" ChibiMartian yelled at his sister as they ran toward the harbor.
"What do you care, Chibi!" Lunamercurie shot back. "You're a Uni, you can fly!"
"Yeah..." began Chibi, ""But we already paid for our classes. If one of us doesn't show up, that will be a waste of a Codestone!"
ChibiMartian looked back at his sister, a younger blue Kougra. She was already physically stronger and many times he had to fight jealousy against Lunamercurie in that respect; he had dreams of becoming a great fighter as a Defender of Neopia someday.
Lunamercurie quickened her steps to catch up with her red Uni brother. If they didn't catch the ferry to Meridell, they'd miss the next ferry to Mystery Island, where they were taking classes at the Mystery Island Training School. Her brother was training in hopes of becoming a great Defender of Neopia, and while she hadn't decided yet whether she had the same destiny, she certainly wanted to be able to defend herself should she need it.
The two of them caught the ferry just in time, catching it just as it was about to leave. They would have missed it, but Luna had to take a giant leap with her Kougra paws to get on deck, and Chibi had to fly to get on. They paid the proper amount of neopoints to the ferryman, and stood on deck, watching the view.
A couple of hours later, the two of them got off the ferry at Meridell. Meridell had once been a great Kingdom. Now all that was left was ruins, a sort of museum, a few hangouts, and a port -- although there were stories of some kind of time portal, where some Neopians had even vanished through. Chibi and Luna looked around the shops and attractions for about thirty minutes while they waited on the departure time for the ferry to Mystery Island to arrive. When it was time, they got on, and an hour later they were on Mystery Island.
"Hello ChibiMartian, Lunamercurie," the Nimmo Training Master said, checking his notes. "Last time, ChibiMartian was at level 3, and Lunamercurie was at level 2. Chibi had the ability of Smoke Screen, and Luna of Healing herself. Anything to update?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," Chibi said, "I've recently been given the ability of 'Fiery Roar' by a Fire Faerie."
"And I was given the protective Bubble ability by a Water Faerie, and I've been increased to level 3 by the Coltzan Shrine," Luna added.
"Congratulations to both of you," the wise Nimmo responded, updating his notes, "Now, let us begin."
For two hours, Luna and Chibi both trained diligently on defense. Finally, it was time to go.
Back in Meridell, they were waiting on the ferry back to Neopia Central, where they lived, to arrive. They looked at some more of the attractions. When it was time, they got on the ferry back to Neopia Central.
Coming up next: Trouble on the ferry, and a fierce Battledome fight! Who will win?
