The only characters I own in this story is Fangor, Green Lightning, and their dark sides (will appear in part 3). Thoughts will be in italics. The words of the sages will be in bold print. Sorry if I get the accents for Bunny and Anthonie wrong. This story is about the bonds of friendship and how it can influence even the strongest warrior to act selflessly to save that person from death. The story starts in Knothole and is done from Fangor's POV (point of view) throughout most of the story. It is probably going to be the best work I have done so far, so please review. And I must warn you: This story contains HEAVY violence. I will be listing the main characters' respective ages and birthdays at the beginning of each chapter (if any of their ages have changed) and possibly a quote from the 8 Kintushian sages or Fangor. Sonic and friends are liscensed to Sega. Please read and review! Even bad reviews are good! And sorry if I mispelled anything. I am having to use a computer that does not have Microsoft Word due to the fact that the only monitor that worked on the previous computer decided to die on us.
Previously on Guardian of the Forest... well nothing major actually happened. Just Fangor singing ( or was it really him singing, and not something else acting through him? The possibilities...) and having a nightmare for once in his LONG life (don't worry, you will eventually find out just how long he has lived. Just be patient.)
And now on to the story! Read & Review!
Chapter 2: Green Lightning's past
note: since there is not a major change in age for this chapter, character ages are not going to be listed for this chapter.
The next day...
NOVEMBER 31
Fangor's POV
I had the nightmare sequence again last night... so horrible... so tradgic... so... painful. I wanted to escape it, but no matter how hard I tried, it just kept coming. Over and over again, it happened. Each time, it was more intense than the last. I thought it would never end... Such pain is not meant for any normal being... but I was not normal. I was beyond normal. After what seemed like years (it was actually only about 9 hours) I finally woke up with my fur soaked in sweat and tears with the covers all tangled in a pile on the bed. I sat up, looked around, and was horrified at what I saw: water, 4 feet deep, covering the entire floor. Just great... I go to sleep just fine, and, overnight, my bed becomes an island... perfect. I decided to go open the door, but quickly changed my mind when I put my leg in the water and quickly yanked it back out. (it was around 10 degrees outside that night... so it makes sense that the water would be cold) I decided to wait for someone to come to assist me, so I took a good look around the room. Apparently, someone had browsed through my technological advances: Volume 1 book during the past year, because technology and communications had advanced quite a bit from when I had gone into the coma: telephones, t.v., and, to my horror, video cameras/camcorders. Lord only knows what Shadow would do with a camcorder... I shuddered at the thought and dismissed it as utter nonsense. I lied back down on my bed with a sigh. Guess I will have to wait for someone to open the door...
After what seemed like hours (it was only 1 hour, but seemed longer because I was bored with nothing to do) The door finally opened, releasing God only knows how many gallons of tears and sweat out the door. Sonic, Amy, Sally and Shadow walked in drenched in tears and sweat (umm... ouch?) and looking quite surprised at the flood that had just hit them. " I'm guessing it got worse?" Said Sonic, shivering from the cold flood that had hit them as they walked in. "Dunno, Sonic. I was in a Coma for the past year..." I just then got an urge to do some exploring outside of the Forest, at Mystic Ruins... " Sally? This might sound odd coming from me, but would you mind if I went to Mystic Ruins today?" She looked puzzled at why I would ask to go to such an unpopulated and unknown place (no history to who had lived there was ever found) such as that. " Why would you want to go there? There is no recorded history of anyone ever living there... But if you feel you must go, then go ahead. Just be careful. It should be listed on your map... To the north-west of Knothole. We haven't been there in a while, so we have no idea how much it has changed. If it gets dangerous, run back here." " I will Princess Sally. Bye everyone! See you later!" And with that I took my cloak and left my house for mystic ruins. Now, I would describe the journey, but it was uneventful, thus making describing the path from Knothole to Mystic Ruins (which really WAS ruins) pointless.
Upon arrival I felt a consciousness surfacing within the body I was in... a consciousness alike, yet different from my own. I wandered into the center of the ruins and was immediately engulfed in a white light, then I was no longer in the ruins, but looking in the second floor window of a grand castle, into the room of the King & Queen it looked like. I looked myself over and noticed I was back in my Kintushian body, without the 'rings of binding' on my wrists and ankles. I walked through the window, ducking to avoid hitting my head on it, then I glanced around the room, stopping when I saw the bed in the center with what seemed to be the queen giving birth. I leaned against the wall waiting for something to happen. A few minutes later, and an older male fox walked in, followed by a hedgehog in a nurse's garments. The nurse walked over to the bed along with the king, and within minutes the child was born. "At last! We have an heir my King! Whatever shall we name him?" stated the queen after much labored breathing. the nurse spoke up: " Well, how about Green? It makes sense because of his fur color..." The King held the child up, and I got a good look at it. Remarkably, it looked like a smaller version of my Kitsune form... same fur color and pattern... only without the shirt, shorts, and shoes. Was this a coincidence? Or was there some significance to this in this vision? The King spoke, " Hmm... Green... Lightning... has a slight ring to it doesn't it, my queen?" "Green Lightning it is, then! Now that we finally have a child to pass on the inheritance to, we no longer need to worry about what will happen to the kingdom when we pass on. Come, let us rest. You are free to go, nurse. You have done your duties." " Yes my queen. As you have said, I will do." With that the nurse walked out of the room leaving the King and Queen alone with the child.
A few seconds later, the vision shifted, seaming to pass forward a few years. It was now showing the inside of a school classroom, much different than Knothole. I looked around the classroom, and in the back-right corner, furthest from the teacher's desk was Green Lightning, only different. He was wearing what seemed to be a solid gold mage's robe, different from the red, blue, white, black, green, or any other color in the room. Unlike the others, this had magical runes all over it, and, like in my kitsune form, a picture of a shield over a tree. He also wore a solid-gold crown on his head, that he seemed to be trying to take off every 10 minutes or so. I walked over to him and saw he was carefully drawing excact duplicates of the runes for the chain-lightning spell that I had used to save my life more than once in my past. Just then the teacher spoke up, " Alright, class, who can recite for me the prophecy of the order emeralds, which are in Mystic Castle?" Everyone in the class except for Green Lightning, who was still concentrating on perfecting the shape of the runes, groaned. " Alright then, I will choose who recites it then." She turned around to what seemed to be a blank chalkboard, wrote a few runes on it, then stepped back. The runes then rearranged themselves to form a name. " Ah! Very well. Green Lightning? Recite the prophecy of the order emeralds." Green Lightning looked up from his work with what seemed like a mountainous effort, his eyes half-closed, stood up and folded his hands. " Two pasts, one a warrior who has lost two peices of himself in war, the other a pacifist mage that carries the weight of a kingdom. Both will be reborn before they are united. Both will seperate before they join with the power of the order. At the time of the joining of the two heroes with the order, a spell cast, a life changed, the heroes return to the order, save the forest that one has sworn his life to protect, and then one, once two, becomes four." The rest of the class laughed at him after this, seeming to think it funny that he memorized every detail of the prophecy.
He sat down, looking slightly embarrased, mostly because the rest of the class was finding this amusing. He returned to perfecting runes he had been drawing. " Marvelous! Simply marvelous! See, class? With this much dedication to your studies, you might be able to surpass even the headmaster of our school!" The rest of the class looked at him as if to say " You are dead meat." The teacher noticed this and gave all of them a death glare. " Do not threaten the prince! One of these days, he is going to fight back, and all of you will rue the day you raised a hand against him!" Green Lightning lowered his head a little at hearing this. Just great... now they are going to beat me up even more... ugh to be rid of this burden... thou art noble, teacher, but thou hast alot to learn about bullies. About 10 minutes later, the class got up to leave. " Remember, class! Study the prophecy! I will ask another student to recite the ENTIRE prophecy tommorrow, and every day after that until every student can recite it on command. You may leave now children." Green Lightning picked up his scrolls, ink wells, pens, spellbook, and put them all in his bag. He headed for the door and I followed, walking straight through all of the other students. He turned the corner, and about halfway down the new corridor, he ran into what seemed to be a gang of black-robed mages. Behind him came several other black-robed mages. They all surrounded him, closing in on him from all sides. I moved around to where I could see his expression, and he looked terrified. " Well hello, "bookworm" are you ready for your beating?" Came a threat from what seemed to be the leader. It was a male echidna about his age, and he was cracking his knuckles. The rest of the gang followed suit with smirks on their faces. After that, the vision went black, and then shifted to what seemed to be the hospital wing of the school of Mystics. I looked up and down the hospital beds in what seemed to be an intensive care room, and saw, much to my horror, next to the nurse's desk, Green lightning. He looked in pretty bad shape. His right arm was in a sling, he had bandages around his head, stomache, and legs, he had a black eye, a nose bleed, a bloody lip, and, written on a sheet of paper at the end of his hospital bed, were the words:
Victim of the Black Robe gang.
Recovery procedure: 38 comeplete
Recovery time remaining: 3 days, 7 hours, 22 minutes
elapsed recovery time: 1 hour, 38 minutes
So, that was a gang that he ran into... I hope they get their just reward for such a foul crime. I thought to myself after reading this. Just then the king and queen arrived, the king with a very angry and non-hospitable look on his face, and the queen with a very worry-stricken look on hers. The nurse looked up from her desk and spoke to them, " Ah! King Lithander Lightning and Queen Elanor Storm! Thank goodness you arrived!" She said, obviously quite relieved that the king and queen had finally arrived to see their son. " What is it this time, hmm? The red Robe gang? Blue? White? Green? Or was it the black robe gang again?" He glanced down at the paper at the foot of the bed and the look he had on now made the other seem as though he was smiling then. "AUUUUUUUGHH! Why has an escort not been arranged for him?! Why does he not defend himself against these hooligans?! He is the most powerful mage to this date! He should be able to handle simple bullies! This is an outrage! I pay ten-thousand mobiums for his tuition, and this is what happens?! This is... this is... RRRRRAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!" He was seething with anger, no doubt. Just then the headmaster walked in ( imagine Dumbledore from Harry Potter as a hedgehog, and you have a pretty clear picture of how this headmaster looks) with a very calm look on his face. " The problem is neither the child, nor the school, Master Lightning, but rather, most of the students. They are jealous of his talents and his inheritence, so they take out their anger and frustation on him, thus," he said, indicating the bed where Green Lightning was just now opening his eyes, " He winds up like this. I must ask you, was there ever a pacifest in your family? Any at all?" " No sir. All of my family were powerful mages that seemed to attack anyone that gave them a dirty look. Quite the opposite of my son..." said the king.
Then the headmaster turned to the queen with the same question, speaking always in a low, calm voice. " Everyone on my father's side, Promethius, was as timid toward other people as... my... son... You don't think it is hereditary do you? Oh dear... is there anything that can be done about this?" Said the queen. The headmaster looked at Green Lightning, then back to the king and queen. " To answer your first question, yes, it is possible for it to skip a generation. To answer your second question... only time can tell. For the meantime, I reccommend he take private lessons, away from the other students. It will be better for his health than being in the main-stream. If need be, I will take this task. I believe I have a trick or two left that he has yet to learn. Is it your wish that he take private tutoring, or remain in the main-stream with the rest of the students?" The king and queen looked at their son, looked at each other, looked at the headmaster, and the king responded, " Do whatever is in your power to prevent this from happening again. We cannot have an heir if the heir is constantly bloody and broken. See to it that he learns what he needs to, and make sure this doesn't happen again... I shudder to think about what the uppper-classmen could do to him... best not to dwell on such things. Well, I leave him in your care, Promethius. See to it that he knows this when he awakens. I wish there was more that we could do, but there is nothing he can learn by staying within the castle." " Don't worry, Lithander and Elanor, I will teach him all I know and keep him away from the other students. You may leave now. Your son needs his rest." With that the king and queen left and the vision shifted once again, to a stormy day a few years later.
I was in what seemed to be the prince's room, seeing the prince staring out the window, still wearing his crown and robe, but now he had a ring on his finger, obviously a symbol of graduation. He was looking at the storm longingly, as though he wished he could fly towards the clouds that were sparking lightning, as though a war raged on within them. His ears were drooping and wet. A guard came in through the door, armed with only a metal staff. " My prince, the King wishes for you to see you in the grand hall. He says it's urgent. I shall escort you there." The guard seemed worried about something. The prince replied in a calm, seemingly uncaring tone: "Very well, Jenson, I shall go see my father. I do hope it's not too urgent." With that they left the room. I followed them. After a few minutes of walking down many corridors, stairs, through armories and barracks, we finally reached the grand hall where the king was waiting. The king looked up from his report with a worry-stricken look on his face. " The worst has come, I fear. Robotnik is planning an invasion upon our kingdom! We must act quickly! Come with your mother and I. We must prepare for his assault! Jenson? Prepare the main forces! They must not take the prince!" With that the prince and the king headed to the back of the great hall, opened a secret passage, and stepped through. I followed just before it closed.
They went down many twisting passages, with me close behind them. The whole way, the king looked over his shoulder as if expecting something to show up behind them. " Why are you so worried about Robotnik, father? Surely his army cannot stand up to our magic. Why do we flee?" The king either did not hear him, or did not wish to tell him the reason. They reached the end of the passage, opened a door, and at the back of the new room stood the queen. A look of relief swept across her face as soon as they had entered. I looked around and saw nine very familiar gems, 8 were small, and the last was very large. "Father, mother, why do we come to the chamber of order? Is this... no... this is the day I am to inherit the burden of guarding them, is it not?" The king silently nodded, the prince knelt onto one knee, bowed his head, and prepared to receive yet another burden. The king and queen recited : " Servers of the eight order, bring forth your light, your new guardian stands before you, on this chaotic night" a light breeze seemed to be whirling around the prince now, signaling that a ritual was in progress, " give him thy blessings, guard him well, and bring him back, when his life is fell." All of the emeralds, master order emerald included, went dim, then slid themselves into his bag, which he still kept on his back, even when it was not needed. " The emeralds have accepted you as their guardian. Guard them well, as the kings and queens of the past have."
Right at that moment a very fat human came out of the corridor that they had headed down, sided by two hideous shadow creatures with the likeness of lizards, and behind him, what he reffered to as 'swat bots'. " How touching. A new burden just before joining my army of machines... It is ironic that you would wind up helping the person that invades your castle isn't it? MUAHAHAHA! If you resist, you will die. I suggest you take the robotosizing willingly. It will be over that much faster. Don't worry about your guards, they are all either dead, or on their way to being robotosized. Now do as I command! Bow like the lowly worms you are! Pathetic mages!" At this, wind once again began flowing around Green Lightning. I felt a great deal of power being used, but it wasn't coming from the emeralds. It was coming from... him. " You will not have the order emeralds, Robotnik! I shall do all within my power to stop you!" He released the energy he had been building up for the spell in the form of a chain lightning spell, instantly destroying the creatures of darkness but leaving the swatbots unaffected. Robotnik smirked. " The other mages' spells had the same useless result. You cannot harm my machines with your pathetic magic! Now, be a good boy and die quickly! Swat bots? Kill the prince and capture his parents." The swatbots leveled their blaster-arms to aim at Green Lightning. Immediately The queen opened a secret passage, shoved the prince in, telling him to escape, and closed the passage before he could object. Then the swatbots grabbed the king and queen and left the area. Robotnik was seething with rage. He pulled out a communicator from somewhere behind him. " Charge the egg cannon! The prince must not be allowed to escape! I will turn Mystifc Castle into 'Mystic Ruins' if I have to, but that prince must not live! As soon as I return, fire the cannon!" With that he turned around and headed down the corridor again.
Once again the vision shifted, this time to outside the castle. I saw Green Lightning running away from the castle. I turned around in time to see a light from the sky to hit the castle, then the castle was no more. I turned and followed Green Lightning. Once again, the vision shifted, this time to a forest, where Green lightning was casting aside his robe and crown, looking very relieved at losing such a burden. He ran forward away from the spot, seemingly leaving behind his previous life. Once again the vision shifted. (this is getting annoying isn't it?) This time he was entering a village that was inhabited by echidnas. He seemed quite nervous upon entering the village. An echidna that seemed to be a guard noticed him, signaled to others, and ran over to him, with spears at ready. "Halt! You will not go any further! State your business within the echidna tribe!" Green Lightning was scared stiff, but held his ground. " I am fleeing from a man named Robotnik, and am seeking shelter. I cannot return home, for he has destroyed it. I have been walking for days, searching for a village or other safe place that would have my presence. Will you please allow me to stay?" The guards looked him up and down, judgementally. One spotted the ring, signaled the others, and surrounded him. " You will come with us, or you will perish. Now MOVE!" They pressed their spears against his throat, forcing him towards a large staircase that had a powerful force at the top of it. I followed them.
As they neared it I saw three echidnas in a conversation. They noticed the people that were aproaching, and turned around to see them. A guard spoke as they approached. " Elder, Tikal, and Fist, we have found an intruder! What shall we do with him?" The elder came closer, looking Green Lightning over like one would look at an enemy. Finally, he spoke: " So, you thought you would come to steal the chaos emeralds didn't you? Well you thought wrong, you fool! And now you will face the consequences of tresspassing! You foolish Mystic! HAHAHAHAHHA!" Then the female echidna, Tikal, ran between her father and Green Lightning, arms outspread in defense. " Stop this madness, father! He is only a child! He has done you no harm! You don't even know if he is really after the chaos emeralds! There is no written record of a mystic ever leaving Mystic Kingdom without a robe! I fear something must have happened there---" " You're right, Tikal! Something has happened! They are planning to invade us! We must kill this one before he reports our position to the rest of his kind! guards!" The guards raised their spears above their heads, ready to strike Green Lightning. Green Lightning cowered down, ready to accept the blow. Just then the other male echidna, which odly enough looked like Knuckles from my time, ran forward and grabbed the spears. " Let us hear HIS side of the story before making a judgement, gramps! It is not fair to judge others before we get to know them. If you object, then I might just have to give you a taste of my shovel claw!" Tikal looked as relieved as the elder looked angry. " Fine, have it your way then! Guards! Stand down!" The guards grudgingly returned their spears to their sides, keeping angry scowls on their faces. Tikal spoke, " Now, tell us, Mystic, why are you here?" Green Lightning stood up, knees shaking. He knelt in front of Tikal, bowing his head in respect, and answered: " I am here because my kingdom has been destroyed by a man named Robotnik. I fled the castle before a beam of light came from the sky and decimated it. I have wandered for three years, searching for shelter from him. All of the other towns would not have me, because they feared my power, and hated me for my royal stature. My only wish is to be safe from the man that destroyed my kingdom, and killed and robotosized my people. I cannot touch chaos emeralds, but I do have the legendary order emeralds and their master. I fear my strength has just about left me, for I haven't slept since the night before that accursed event, for fear that I shant awaken from the dream..." The elder spoke, seething with anger, " Lies! All of them, lies! You were sent here to spy on us so that your kingdom could invade us! You--" "Father! He speaks the truth, for he is a Mystic! They are bound by their word! Have you forgotten that?! We must allow him to stay here... he no longer has a home." The elder looked about ready to kill. " Fine then, Tikal! But YOU will be responsible for the care of him! See to it that he stays out of trouble, or you will be to blame! Understood?!" "Yes, father. I will take care of him as though he were my own child. He just might be one of the two mentioned in the Mystic prophecy..." "Bah! That prophecy is meaningless! A mere fairy-tale! Comeplete and utter nonsense! Pay no heed to it, Tikal!" With that he left the area, still seething with anger. Tikal saw Green Lightning fall forward and hit the ground, lightly breathing. She smiled. " He must be the one mentioned in the prophecy... he is the last of the Mystics... Fist? Could you please bring him to my house? He needs his rest." Fist nodded, picking up the now asleep Green Lightning off the ground, and carrying him towards a large hut in the center of the village. Tikal followed, looking relieved that a life had been spared. When they entered the hut, Fist laid the kitsune down on the bed of straw that was prepared for him, then left to guard the chaos emeralds and master chaos emerald. Tikal sat down on the floor staring at the peacefully sleeping kitsune. " Rest well, young one. May your dream be a pleasant one."
With that, the vision shifted again, to a few years later. I was looking at the edge of the echidna village, where a guard was lying on the ground, dead, deep claw marks embedded into his body, with shadows dancing around them. The elder, Tikal, Fist, Green Lightning, and a few other guards were standing around it, all but Tikal, Fist, and Green Lightning were angered. " So, Robotnik has finally found us... Tell me, Green Lightning, are you able to concentrate your earthquake spell? We need to cut this area off from the main continent!" Green Lightning looked down at the body, then spoke up: " Yes, but it would have to start well away from the village. I will return within a few days to let you know when I am done." " You had best hurry then, Mystic. I am not known for my patience." Green Lightning sped off, looking for a place to start the spell. Once again, the vision shifted, this time, I was looking at Angel Island, as it had been in their time. I sped forward towards echidna village, and saw the elder and some guards standing in front of the shrine with Tikal at the steps, arms spread as if to prevent them from climbing to the chaos emeralds above. I then saw Green Lightning with spears at his throat, and his hands bound tightly together to prevent him from casting spells. The elder spoke to Tikal, " Stand aside Tikal! We will have those emeralds! We must use their power in order to stop Robotnik! If you do not stand aside, we will kill the last Mystic alive! Now choose: the emeralds, or his life? Which will it be, Tikal?" " Don't let them get the chaos emeralds, Tikal! Oof!" He had been struck in the stomach by the elder's staff. " Silence, you foolish Mystic! Choose Tikal!" Tikal looked at Green Lightning who was pleading for her not to let them take the chaos emeralds. She then looked towards her father and said: " Take the emeralds, but spare the child! He has done you no harm! Release him!" With that the elder and guards shoved past her, racing to the top of the shrine. Tikal ran over to Green Lightning and removed the ropes that were binding his hands together. Green Lightning looked defeated. " Why, Tikal? Why did you let them have the chaos emeralds? My life is insignificant compared to what they will do with them..." " Because, you are the last of the Mystics. You are the one mentioned in the prophecy. I had to..." Just then screams were heard from the top of the shrine.
I looked to the top of the stairs and saw a blue creature with a transparent body standing at the top, obviously angry. It stood there for a few more minutes, then walked towards the emeralds and disapeared. Tikal looked stricken. " Why wouldn't father listen to me? I had told him it would be a bad idea to envoke the emeralds in anger, but he wouldn't listen! Now he has paid for it with his and his guards lives..." " I must leave before more trouble is caused on my account... I am sorry I could not stop your father, Tikal. Now I ask that you and everyone else here forget about me... don't come looking for me. I wish to be forgotten, so I may live without regret... goodbye, Tikal. You were the only friend I ever had..." With that, Green Lightning took off towards the surrounding forest at what seemed to be half the speed of light.
The vision shifted once again towards the future, to Tikal standing beside a nearly unrecognizeable body, that obviously belonged to Green Lightning. ( How many other green and gold kitsunes could be out there?) his right arm had been eaten down to the bone, he was missing half his skin in most places, and what fur was left was singed by swatbot blaster-fire. Tikal took his ring, put it in his bag, and walked off with it, head hanging. I followed her all the way to the base of the shrine, and watched her bury the bag there. She then turned around and looked me straight in the eyes. " I know you are the other mentioned in the prophecy... When this vision of yous ends, you will be back in the Mystic ruins of your time. Please, do not go digging up his past yet... wait until you two have seperated before doing so... I beg of you, do not let his sacrifice be in vain... I have little time left before Robotnik finds me here... Please, sir, take good care of Green Lightning. His soul is now transcending time and space in search of an appropiate host. He and yourself are the only ones that can save us from this tyrant... now, let this vision end!" with that, I was back in the Mystic Ruins of my time.
I ran off to Angel Island, hoping to find out whether that vision was true or not. Upon arriving on the island, I was greeted by Knuckles. " What brings you here, hmm? Come to see the chaos emeralds? Or something else?" I replied: " I came to speak with your elder about a vision I had in Mystic Ruins, about the past. I must find out whether it is true or not. Will you lead me to the village?" Knuckles nodded and we sped off towards echidna village, which was far away from the shrine. Upon arrival, the elder noticed us. " You! How dare you return to here! We exiled you one thousand years ago, after chaos appeared! You are not welcome here, infidel Mystic! State your business and leave quickly!" I spoke up, keeping my cool, " I am here to find out whether a vision I had in Mystic Ruins is true or not, sir. That is all." " Very well, then, tell me it, so I may regard it as true or false, and then you can leave this island!" I told him every detail of it except for the taking and burrying of the bag. He simply said, after it was done, that it was true, then he ordered Knuckles to remove me from the island. Some hours later, I was back in my house in Knothole, sleeping again, aware of the consciousness that was forming in this body, a consciousness that was alike, yet different from my own. The consciousness of Green Lightning.
Author's notes:
A very long chapter with long paragraphs that gives you insight into Green Lightning's past, from birth to death ( spanning 16 years) and also a prophecy that was made before his time. So THIS explains Fangor being in his body... and the reason why the Mystic Ruins are ruins... and who the REAL guardian of the forest is... well anyways this chapter had plenty of significance. in about 29 years further into the story, Fangor will dig up the bag that contains the history of the Mystics. The ONLY recorded history of their kind. and so, I leave you with a quote:
" Don't put material possesions as being more important than friends. Be glad that you have friends and do your best to protect them. They just might return the favor some day."- Tikal, Guardian of the Master Chaos Emerald
Read & Review, People! Even bad reviews are acceptable!
