Hello my fellow Greencloaks. (Gets hit in the head with orange) ALRIGHT WHO THREW THAT I WILL THROW YOU UNDERGROUND WITH THE WYRM! Well... actually I deserve it. And I know what you guys are saying "Where have you been? It's summer you should be updating more! Your the worst updater ever!" The last part is true I am a terrible updater. But I'm sorry please don't kill me with your oranges ;-;. I can explain ok... summer is a busy time for me because I have to take 2 online classes and I have softball workouts I was also gone for most of June. But I at least updated the previous chapters so they match the story (Leo's spirit animal is basically a cat now, Angel's power is now energy, i had to change some weapons, and I had to change Blaze's name to Cinder) So please hold your oranges! I'm really sorry but I also got an idea how about I update once a week so you guys have something to look forward to. But fair warning they are probably gonna be shorter than usual "monthly" chapters so let's just try this out ok? So here's this months chapter;
It was raining yet again. They awoke in the morning and it was rain, rain as they packed up camp, rain as they walked out of the camp.
"Rain, rain, rain, that's all it does here," Angel complained as she pulled her wet cloak around her shoulders. Gale rolled his eyes "Well get used to it princess its summer so that's all its gonna do." He absolutely hated how much Angel complained about almost every little thing. "The perks of being rich," Gale mumbled under his breath as he attempted to pull his boot out of the mud that was sucking his foot in like quick sand. He tipped his head back and looked at the clouds, Shuriken was nowhere to be seen. He smirked a little, knowing the hawk was above the clouds. "At least someone was able to get out of the rain."
"Where are we going anyway?" Leo asked
"A nearby town, we are going to need more help against those THINGS that Marko saw in his dream." Right as he said that a town complete with a wall appeared "Lady Sara, take Angel, Marko, and Cinder around the city and wait at the West gate for us please. Gale, Leo come with me inside the town."
"Fredrick how long should we wait for you?"
"Its Firnen and until we get back."
"Oh yes of course sorry dear. Come on children."
With that they separated with Firnen, Gale, and Leo going into the city and Lady Evelyn and everyone else going around the town wall.
"Why did you choose us to to go with you into the town?" Leo asked as they weaved and pushed passed the people on the busy streets. Renegade swiftly padding and weaving between people right next to him.
"Because I can keep a better eye on you two. I dont need you fighting Cinder under that poor womans watch. Plus your spirit animals are a little smaller than theirs." Firnen said as he rounded a corner. Gale started snickering and exclaimed "He's not wrong." Leo clenched his hands into fists then breathed in and out and relaxed his hands "Hush it feather brain."
"You did the technique I showed you, very good Leo." Firnen then pointed at a building ahead with a white tea pot on the front. "That is where we are going" They then proceeded through the crowd into the tea shop.
It was brightly lit in the room with the curtains on the windows open. There was a wooden counter that stretched 3/4 of the length of the room. On the wall behind it was rows and rows of different herbs for tea as well as a doorway with a yellow cloth covering it. Around them were little tables with tea pots and cups for sale. They heard a man's voice call out "I'll be with you in a second."
Gale looked around and saw what looked liked a stuffed frilled lizard sitting next to a tea pot. He walked over to it and studied it. "Hey Leo, come look at this thing." Leo then walked over to him and studied it. Renegade was off sniffing everything in the room trying to get used to what would be a overwhelming smell to the sabre toothed cat.
Leo went to poke the lizard when it suddenly moved and the frills around its neck shot up and it started hissing. "DRAGON!" Gale screamed and ran to the other corner almost jumping out the window. "DINOSAUR!" (let's pretend they know what a dinosaur is for this) Leo shrieked and hid under the table. Renegade quickly picked up her head and ran over to the lizard and growled at it.
They heard the voice call again "Fae, be nice" just then a tall, muscular man walked out from behind the curtain. He looked like he was on his early 20s, he had tan Amayan skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. "Firnen?" He asked. "Its been a long time, Ernesto." Ernesto then held out his hand and the Frilled Lizard walked over to him and climbed up his arm to sit on his shoulder. Leo and Gale got up from hiding and walked to the counter "So this velociraptor is your spirit animal?" Leo asked eyeing the lizard.
"Yes, but she is not a velociraptor she is a frilled lizard. Who are these two?" Ernesto said at he stroked underneath the lizards chin. Fae closed her eyes and seemed to enjoy a good chin scratching. "This," Firnen said putting a hand on Gale's shoulder. "Is Gale and Leo. And as you can see from the elephant in the room, they are the summoners of the Five Lost Souls." Everyone then looked at Renegade who was laying down by the sun filled window. "What is it that you want Firnen?"
"I need your help, old friend. We are heading to the ruins of the old Amayan temple of the west and your the only one that knows your way around that place."
"And why should I? Your perfectly capable of handling yourself."
"Because that ooze that infected the temple, is what we will be fighting. Besides, your mother is dying to see you."
"Wait, mother?" Gale asked tilting his head to the side.
"Yes, Lady Sara is my mother."
"So will you do it old friend?"
"Yes, I've been missing the old woman for quite some time actually. And I haven't been able to leave my shop."
"Very well, let us go."
Angel sat there in the grass against Haven and sighed. "Lady Sara, are they almost here?"
Lady Sara then held up her hand for silence then smiled a wrinkly smile as all four men emerged from the gates. "Hello my child."
"Hello mother, it's been a while." Ernesto then proceeded to hug her. "And I assume these three are the rest of them?" Firnen nodded "Ernesto, I would like you to meet Angel, Marko, and Cinder."
"Its very nice to meet you sir." Marko said.
"Indeed." Angel commented as she brushed herself off and got up.
Cinder bowed a little, "It is my honor to be on your acquaintance."
Ernesto tilted his head and looked at Cinder "Come now no need for bowing I'm just a Greencloak same as you." Cinder nodded and stopped bowing and placed her hand back on the scruff of Fell's neck.
"Alright, gather your things we have to get to the temple before the Conquerers do." Firnen said as he began down the path, leaving everyone else running to catch up. Gale smirked a little as he ran "Pretty fast moving for a man that just got bitten by a snake no less than 2 days ago." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well let's go, I wanna see what this temple looks like." Gale then picked up speed with everyone chasing after him.
