CH3 The Ancient of Wind
It's been about two weeks since we activated the beacon at Helios, but we were making good time. Right now we were making our way to the town of River Port. This is where we would find a boat to take us to the Tundrian islands. The main land is only a province of Tundria. The capital is on Avalanche Island; to get there we would have to go through a chain of smaller islands known as the Deep Freeze islands. In the best-case scenario we could get there in about a month, but the likely hood of that was pretty low. At the moment we were in the small mining town of Youswell.
"Thank you for letting us stay at your inn for free," said Julia.
"No problem, you guys saved my son from that rock slide," the innkeeper said.
"It was no problem those rocks were nothing," said Raiden.
"Thanks again and come back sometime," the innkeeper said.
"We'll try, but our travels may not permit it," I said.
"That was a nice place; I wish we could come back," Mina said.
"We just might, but for now we need to focus on getting to River Port and finding a boat," Kit replied.
"Kit is right; we need to get going," I said.
"It's about time we left; I was getting sick of this place anyway," huffed Kaine. (And they say I'm like Inu-yasha, talk about an attitude problem.)
"Can't you just enjoy yourself for once!" Snapped Julia.
"How can I when I can't use my powers!" He exclaimed indignantly.
"You know that it's for you're own good. It's like Kraden said…" I tried to calm him down.
"I don't care what that old codger said," Kaine replied rudely.
"Don't you ever disrespect my grandfather again!" Kit shouted. Then, Kaine just snapped and hit Kit clear across the face.
"Shut up," he shouted.
Mina's eyes started to glow red and before anyone could blink, she punched Kaine in the face and through two trees and pinned him by his neck to the third, where he was frantically trying to pry them open, oblivious to the blood dripping from his nose. "I'm sick and tired of your attitude and so is everyone else! That was over the line and if you ever do that again I won't hesitate to break your spine!" Mina spat angrily. (She could never kill anyone willingly.)
"KAINE THAT'S ENOUGH!" I hollered. Mina dropped Kaine and stood next to Julia, who looked like she was having a hard time not doing the same thing, but being the keeper of ice, she has the most control over her emotions. We spent the rest of the day in silence. We got to River Port by dark and found an inn for the night. The next day we set out early to find a boat, which didn't take long.
" Hello there, you don't look like you're from around here," said a good-looking man with black hair, blue eyes, and eagle wings wearing an expensive sailing outfit.
"That's right, we're traveling to the Tundrian capital. Could you, by any chance, take us there?"
-in the background-
"He is so hot!" Whispered Kit.
"I know, and he looks just like Daniel Radcliffe!" Julia whispered back. "Makes you wonder if there's a guy that looks like Tom Felton here."
"If there is, then he's mine! You know I just love boys with blonde hair and tight abs!" Exclaimed Kit quietly.
(Mina told me this later)
-end of background-
"That I can do, my name is Aveon, welcome aboard, but we will have to stop for supplies at Atmos Island, OK?" Aveon said.
"That's fine, so when can we leave?" I asked.
"Now if you want to," Aveon replied.
"Great, then let's go," I said.
"Oh, by the way, before we head off, I want to know your names," said Aveon. He pointed to each of the group in turn until he got to Mina and Julia. (Mind you, they both look like guys right now) "And you two gents are?"
-Julia's thoughts: Let me sock. Please let me sock him. Ohhhhhh, he is so hot! Wait, I can't be thinking that; he just called me a guy! Hotness! Sock him! Oh no, I'm going crazy!
-Mina's thoughts: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I can't believe he just called me a guy! If I'm a guy, that means Riku is gay! AAAAHH! THAT WOULD BE SO FREAKISH!
I could see Julia's and Mina's fuses were running short, but then they shared identical evil smirks and said in deep voices, unlike their own: "I'm Julia" and "I'm Mina."
"Those are kind of feminine names for a guy aren't they?" Questioned Aveon.
The girls burst out laughing and Julia said in between gasps for breath: "Well, they would be if we were guys."
"Oh, so you're cross-dressers," joked Aveon.
"Yes, and Riku is gay," said Mina, earning a glance from the person mentioned.
"No, wait, that's Kaine!" Exclaimed Julia, making smoke come out of Kaine's ears. This threw Julia and Mina into their own little bubble of girl squabble.
So we started on our way. It took us a while to get to the waters controlled by the Atmos Kingdom and not long after pirates attacked us. The battle was pretty short; the others had given me enough time to mount an attack of my own and after that we were the only things in the water besides the fish.
"You guys have some explaining to do," demanded Aveon.
"Yah, well, we're from another world and we're the legendary Ancients. Well, except Kit, that is," said Raiden.
"Well, I guess it's only fair if I tell you the truth about me as well. I'm also an Ancient, the controller of wind, and the adopted son of the King of Atmos. I first came here when I was five, but I've been going back and forth between worlds."
"AAAAHHHHHH! You're Daniel Radcliffe in the other world, aren't you?" Mina shouted as she pointed at Aveon. We all just stared at her like she was nuts.
"As a matter of fact, I am," Aveon replied.
Julia, who was next to Mina, and Mina looked at each other and went: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE'RE MEETING DANIEL RADCLIFFE!" Then, they blushed and everyone laughed.
When we reached the island the next day, we got a royal welcome and were lead straight to the palace. We met the king and Aveon's brother, Gale. He seemed to fancy Julia and got jealous whenever Aveon was around her and talking with her. (Aveon and Julia got along especially well and Mina told me later the Aveon was flirting with her- her being Julia)
We were all presented with gifts, but the ones everyone seemed to like the most was the custom-made weapons that the blacksmith gave each of us. I got a medieval version of Darth Maul's light saber, Kaine got a spear, Raiden got a giant hammer, Julia got a bow and arrow set, and Mina got two katanas and a dagger.
After a week we told the king that we had to leave after we lit the beacon here and that Aveon was coming with us. So we left, but when we got there Gale was waiting for us.
"And just where are you going brother dear," Gale said in a sadistic tone.
" We are going to light the beacon and then leave for Tundria," replied Aveon, a little on edge.
" Not anymore you're not! You don't deserve any honor you little fool! You always get everything you want, but not anymore!" Shouted Gale.
"Gale, don't do this," begged Aveon. Gale was on the attack and so we fought back. He wasn't that hard to bring down, but he did manage to get everyone's attention when he pinned Julia to the wall and tried to stick his tongue down her throat. That really pissed Aveon off because then he brought out his semi-god form and released his Judgment Hurricane. We lit the beacon and left after Mina incinerated the body.
Later that night on Aveon's boat, I went to check on Julia to make sure she was all right and overheard and conversation between Mina and Julia.
-Mina and Julia's conversation-
"He so likes you!" Exclaimed Mina.
"Yah right!" Was Julia's reply.
"No, seriously! And you like him too, don't you?" Inquired Mina.
"I do not!" Julia denied indignantly.
"Then, why are you blushing?" Asked Mina.
"Oh fine, I guess I do kinda like him, but if you tell anyone, I shall cause you extreme pain," joked Julia.
"I'd rather stick pins in my eyes!" Said Mina. (that's from High School Musical!)
-end of what I hear-
I left figuring all was well and knowing I had blackmail for Julia.
