Ok, so I lied. I'm updating without five reviews. So shoot me. I'm sure your looking for an update, no? Yeah. Well, here is more of Bobby's story…
Four days had passed since Saint Azarus had visited Zadaa to tell Bobby Pendragon to meet him on the territory of Ibara after his friend Loor's funeral. Ever since the meeting with Azarus, Bobby had been wandering Zadaa. And something had been nagging at him since the day he got to Zadaa. How did Bokka show up? Hadn't he died on the battle for Zadaa all those years ago, when Loor and him had been good friends….even a little in love?
Yeah, that had happened. If he had been resurrected, then could he resurrect Loor?
"Bobby!" came a familiar voice. Bobby's heart skipped a beat at the familiarness.
"Loor?" he whipped around, but it wasn't her. It was Saangi, Loor's younger sister.
"Bobby! It's been a long time!" she said, happily.
"Yeah," he said. "Long time."
"What's the matter?" she asked, concerned.
"Loor," I replied. "I just can't believe that she's…..dead."
"Yeah, I'm still tryin to believe she's gone too. It's hard to believe. Hey, you wanna go walking with me, Pendragon?" she asked.
"To where?" he asked.
"It's a secret," Saangi said with a wink.
"Okay," Bobby agreed. "I'll go with you."
Bobby followed his friends sister through the town.
"Hey, Saangi?" he called, since the Batu girl was far ahead of him. She turned back in Bobby's direction.
"Yeah?" she said, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Do you still have my Batu clothes from when I last visited? I kinda wanna wear them to honor Loor at her funeral."
"Nope. Got rid of them as soon as you left." she said. "But I can get you some new ones if you like."
"Could you?" Bobby asked, catching up to his friend. He gave Saangi a good look over. He had never realized how much Saangi looked like her sister. Actually, the only difference now was the girls eyes. Saangi now looked exactly like Loor had before she died.
Loor…The thought of the girl appeared in his mind. A tear fell from Bobby's face.
"Bobby?" Saangi said. "It's Loor isn't it?" Bobby nodded. He wanted his friend back. He missed her too much…
Courtney…The thought of his other friend made him completely stop where he was. Bobby stared around Dark Zadaa for a moment or two, and reached around in his pockets trying to find what he was looking for. He pulled out a folded piece of white paper.
Bobby, it read in the beautiful handwriting of Courtney. I love you. Don't ever forget that. I will love you until the day I die. Love, Courtney.
Bobby had found this note after he and Spader had destroyed Saint Dane on Second Earth. That was the last he had ever talked to Courtney, and probably would be the last time unless….
"Meet with me on Ibara after your friend Loor's funeral."
Saint Azarus. He could surely help Bobby with everything. Soon, Courtney, Loor, and Mark would all be back in his life and it would all be because of Saint Azarus.
"Bobby," came the voice of Saangi. "It'll be okay. I'm sure Loor is happy now. Saint Dane is dead, so she has nothing to worry about, right?"
"Right," Bobby said. He felt like he needed to tell Saangi the truth. Right now, Saangi was his only friend. Everyone else had either not kept in touch, or betrayed him.
"Listen, Bobby," Saangi said. "I uh….kinda fell in love with you six years ago. Do you think that uh….you can love me back?"
"Yes," Bobby said, picking himself up off of the ground. "Yes I can." he leaned forward, and placed a small kiss on the young girls lips.
"Follow me!" Saangi said, excitedly. She ran off through the sand, and Bobby followed just as fast. After about an hour of running with Saangi at Bobby's side, they arrived at a place Bobby had been having nightmares about for the last six years:
The training Mooraj training camp.
"I'm sorry, Pendragon." she said. "I know you didn't exactly have the most fun here, but I kind of can feel Loor's presence here. The two of us used to come here a lot and train." The heat here was extremely intense, but after all those weeks….or months of training, Bobby was pretty much immune to it.
"Yeah," Bobby said. Saangi lead the way to the small hut they had stayed in all those years ago. Saangi stepped up to the door, and opened it with a loud CREEEAK! The Traveler and acolyte stepped inside, revealing the cramped beds. Bobby sat down on one of them and put his face in his hands.
"Bobby?" Saangi said with a puzzled expression on her face. She sat down next to him and placed her arm around his shoulders.
"She still hates me, Saangi." he said in a soft voice.
"Who hates you?"
"Loor," Bobby said. "She was pissed at me cause I cared about her too much to let her fight against Saint Dane in the final battle six years ago." Saangi began to laugh.
"She's over that by now, Pendragon! Didn't you read the letter she sent to you through the Traveler ring?"
"I read the note, but it was burned off at the end."
"Oh?" Saangi said, truly surprised at Bobby's answer. "That's strange. I remember it saying 'Bobby, I'm sorry for getting mad at you after the final battle. I'm not sure what will happen to me, with the quigs coming back and all, so I'll tell you this now. I love you. --Loor."
"She's not mad at me!" Bobby said, jumping up with joy. "Yes!" Saangi laughed.
"Glad I could make you feel better, Bobby!" Saangi said, a humongous smile on her face. Bobby found himself grinning. Saangi was so beautiful….he would love her forever. Bobby's Traveler ring suddenly began to twitch.
"Bobby, your ring!" Saangi said. Bobby quickly pulled the ring off his finger and threw it to the ground. The enchanting music began, and the ring became bigger and bigger. A humongous hole appeared, and something unusual fell out. "What is that?" Saangi asked. It looked to be a burst of flame. Bobby walked over to it cautiously and stared down at it. He confirmed that it was a flame-sheet from Ibara, and picked it up. The object burst into flames as soon as Bobby touched it, and his hand was engulfed in flames.
"Bobby!" Saangi cried, and jumped over, finding her hand inside the flame as well.
Bobby, came a voice. Meet me at the tower of Flames as soon as your friends funeral is over.
"Who was that from?" Saangi asked. The jig was up. Bobby had to tell Saangi about Saint Azarus. After all, he trusted her with his life.
"His name is Saint Azarus." Bobby began to explain. "After I got Loor's message, I decided to go visit her on Zadaa. When I got to the Second Earth flume, a man came out of the flume. His name was Saint Azarus. He claimed to be the reincarnation of Saint Dane. He told me if I met him on Ibara after Loor's funeral, he could help me bring Courtney back to life."
"Oh…" Saangi said. "So I'm guessing that means you'll be leaving here right after the funeral?"
"Yes," Bobby said sadly. "But I'm hoping that you would come with me. I don't want to go through this alone." A grin formed on Saangi's face.
"I'll go," she said. "I love you, Bobby. And if you trust this guy, then so do I." Bobby smiled.
"Thanks, Saangi. I love you too." They bent closer as if to kiss…
Hissss! A quig snake popped up from the ground.
"What the hell?" Bobby yelled. "The quigs here died out!" Bobby then rememberd the quigs on Second Earth, and stared at the snake. As Bobby had predicted, humongous spikes ran down the quig snake's back.
"Kill it, Bobby!" Saangi cried, jumping up on the bed. Bobby pulled the knife off of his belt and noticed a small crack.
"Damn it, a crack…dunno how well I'll kill it with this…" Bobby ran towards the snake, and stared at the yellow eyes. They looked…darker…stronger than before. He ran towards the quig…and it jumped up onto its arms and bit tightly. Bobby clenched his teeth and walked backwards.
"Get…the…hell….off…me!" he yelled angrily. Blood was appearing rapidly as the snake bit harder and harder into Bobby's arm.
"Bobby!" Saangi yelled.
"I'll…be okay," he grunted his reply quickly and passed his knife to his other hand. He grasped the knife tightly and lifted it up, which took a great effort because of the massive pain from the snake bite. Beads of sweat fell from Bobby's face as the quig snake bit harder and harder into Bobby's arm. The blood was falling rapidly, and Bobby continued to clench his teeth, tighter and tighter by the second. He finally managed to get the knife over his head, and he quickly swung it down with all the force he could muster up with the quig snake biting him. Bobby's knife landed directly in the head of the snake. Its eyes went crossed eyed, and purple blood fell from the cut, staining the blade of Bobby's knife.
The snake disappeared with a burst of smoke, and Bobby's arm was left bleeding from two extremely deep punctures from a quig.
"Bobby, are you okay?" Saangi asked.
"Yeah," he replied. "I'm fine, but….damn, that hurt!" Bobby managed to smile weakly at his girlfriend.
"We need to get you back into the town," she said. "C'mon. Can you walk?" Bobby tried to stand, and found that he could.
Bobby and Saangi walked out of the training camp.
"Here, lets make a bandage." she said, tearing off the right sleeve of Bobby's shirt. She wrapped the sleeve around the punctures and fasted it tightly to Bobby's arm. The blood, which was still leaking, instantly stained the shirt sleeve. "You should be fine until we get into town," Saangi said.
"Thanks, Saangi." Bobby said. He suddenly became extremely dizzy and the world began to spin. "Saangi, can we stop for a few minutes?" he asked.
"Sure," she said.
Bobby sat down on the ground, expecting the dizziness to disappear. Of course, it didn't.
What's happening to me?
Those were Bobby's last thoughts before his entire vision went pitch black.
There. 1757 words. Happy? You should be. Yeah, I've decided not to put how many reviews I want, cause that's just not cool. I would update this thing even if I got no reviews. So now, I'm going to take the time to give a shout out to the people that have reviewed for me.
