Chapter 4
A crystal in Frontierland
"Try again."
"But father, I've been trying over forty times now! Can't I take a break?"
"You fool!" The boy flinched at his father's shout. The father stood up from his chair with his orb and walked towards his son. "My boy, you have great potential that rests within you. It's your duty to awaken it and, when you grow old enough, rule over Time and Space! You must look deep within yourself-"
"But I can't father!" The boy cried. The father looked at his son and saw that he was almost on the verge of tears. "I...I just can't. No matter how hard I try, no matter what kind of training I do...I'll never be as strong as you, or mother, or even Alabaster…" He mumbled. Silence took place before the son heard his father sigh.
"Conroy." He started. "Listen to me." The father knelt down to his son's level and looked at him in the eyes. "I'm going to tell you a Magic spell that will help you become stronger in your heart."
"Stronger...in my heart?" The son repeated. The father nodded.
"Yes. Now, repeat after me…"
"...urry...Blurry...Blurry, wake up!"
"Huh?! What?!" Blurry woke up suddenly and looked around. He and Merlin were on a small river raft heading downstream. "...Uh…"
"Oh, Teenagers…" Merlin mumbled. "Blurry, you must stay focused! This land is in great peril! I'm dropping you off here." Merlin moved the raft to a riverbank and Blurry off. "Pocahontas will fill you in on the details of what's going on."
"What about you?" Blurry asked, before jumping off the small raft.
"Well, I will be dealing with Hades' little troublemakers. Be careful, my boy!" And with that, Merlin was off. Blurry watched him leave before walking down the trail into the forest. Soon, he came into an area to see the Native American, Pocahontas, looking into a fire. Blurry walked towards her.
"Excuse me, miss." He greeted. "Are you-"
"Yes, I am Pocahontas. Merlin told me about you, Blurry. How unfortunate that the men coming to our shores aren't like you…" She sighed.
"What do you mean?" Blurry asked. Pocahontas answered by merging some plants and berries together and throwing them into the fire. Smoke rose from the fire and showed images of Hades talking to the man that problem to Pocahontas and her people before, Ratcliffe. And Hades, in Blurry's opinion, was an outfit that made him look really stupid.
"Ratcliffe? Name is Indigo, Lord of the East Underworld Trading Company. Hey how ya doing?" He greeted. "You seem hungry...for a little adventure! Bada-bing, Bada-boom! Heh, so hear me out. I'm thinking of using my influence to grant your freedom. Then, in exchange, you dig up a certain 'treasure' for me. Interested?" Hades asked. The scene changed to Ratcliffe talking to his men when they arrived on land.
"We will lay waste to this now land until it gives up its riches. Not gold, but something even more valuable. A crystal!" The smoke and image disappeared into the air.
"Please, Blurry." Pocahontas said. "Will you help us stop them?"
"Of course." Blurry agreed. Pocahontas thanked him and started leading the way to Ratcliffe's camp area. When they arrived, Pocahontas told Blurry, "There's something strange about these men. They are not like the other soldiers." Blurry agreed with her. He could sense dark magic coming from inside the nearest tent. He told Pocahontas to stay low as he went to check things out. He quietly entered the tent and didn't see anyone inside.
"Ah it's you!" Blurry spun around to see a soldier with a drum. "OK, It's magic time!" The soldier played his drum and at first, nothing happened, until Blurry started feeling his ears ring painfully and he started to get a migraine. Blurry clutched his head and tried to cover his ears. He groaned and screamed in pain as the drumming got louder and louder. Blurry fell to his knees and glared at the soldier. He had to stop this! Blurry, struggling, put his left hand up and it glowed blue.
"Tem...Tempore!" He screamed and sent a wave of Time Energy at the drum. It was a direct hit and the drum started to age until it was crumbling into nothing. The soldier was stunned for a second, giving Blurry the chance to run up to him and punch him in the stomach. When he did, the soldier transformed and turned out to be none other that Hades' minions, Pain and Panic. The imps began to panic when they saw Blurry glaring at them.
"Oh! Hades is gonna kill us for this!" Panic screamed as he ran out of the tent.
"Was it my accent?" Pain asked as he followed his partner. "Because I can work on it!" Blurry sighed and followed the imps outside. He rejoined Pocahontas and explained what happened in the tent.
"You fight very bravely, my friend." Pocahontas then suddenly looked sad. "Still, many men have already have already reached the Frontier. Unless we stop them, they will cause much destruction."
"Then let's hurry." Blurry and Pocahontas hurried off and further into the campsite when they stopped when Blurry noticed Ratcliffe ordering his men around to find that crystal. Blurry spotted the weapons near Ratcliffe's tent. He sensed powerful, but dark, magic coming from them. Blurry hurried away and grabbed a nearby fallen tree branch and took a nearby stone and started carving a the branch into a sharp wooden arrow. Pocahontas was very impressed when she saw Blurry do this so fast.
"How?" She wondered.
"My father taught me how during our time camping when I was younger." Blurry answered. Blurry then created his Space Bow and set up the arrow. He aimed the arrow carefully and then let the arrow fly. The make-shift arrow hit its target and the weapons and supplies exploded. Ratcliffe and his men gasped in shock when they saw this happen.
"You did it!" Pocahontas smiled as she and Blurry hurried away from the campsite so the soldiers couldn't see them.
"We're not done yet though." Blurry said. "We need to find that crystal and take back what Ratcliffe stole from your land, Pocahontas." The native princess nodded her head in agreement. As Blurry and Pocahontas walked out of the forest, they came to the beach and saw some soldiers along with Ratcliffe, boarding a ship with a raccoon, struggling in their grasp. Pocahontas gasped.
"He's taken Meeko!" She exclaimed.
"He's probably gonna to try and convince us to help him find the crystal piece." Blurry guessed with a growl. "C'mon!" Blurry ran towards the boat, followed by Pocahontas. Blurry watched as Ratcliffe stuffed Meeko in a bag.
"I'm sorry, my furry friend." Ratcliffe told the raccoon. "But appears Pocahontas and that strange boy, Indigo warned me about, aren't coming to get you." He chuckled.
"Think again!" Blurry jumped on the ship and attacked two soldiers that were trying to stop him with punches. One of the guards dropped some arrows in a quiver. Blurry picked it up and swung in onto his back. He quickly pulled out an arrow and made his Space Bow to aim the arrow at Ratcliffe. "Surrender, Ratcliffe!" Blurry ordered.
Ratcliffe laughed, "Stand down, boy, or so help me I'll drop this rodent into the river!" Just then, Meeko appeared and jumped on Blurry's shoulder.
"?! Meeko?" Blurry questioned.
"What?! How-" Ratcliffe opened the bag and all the came was corn from the land. Blurry quickly put the real arrow away and prepared a Space Arrow instead. He then fired the arrow at Ratcliffe and pushed him back in the river water.
"Well done, Blurry." Pocahontas said as Blurry made his bow disappear. Just then, Pain and Panic teleported in and looked around to see Ratcliffe wasn't around.
"Well…" Panic started out, "...that didn't go so well, did it?"
"You want the truth? Or, like, what I think we should tell Hades?" Pain asked.
"I recommend telling the truth and running for your lives." Pain and Panic looked to see Blurry, readying a real arrow to fire at them. The little imps looked at him and then back at each other before screaming and running away. Pocahontas and Meeko giggled at this.
"Well done, Blurry!" The trio looked to see Merlin coming on board the ship. "Thanks to you, Hades wasn't able to get the crystal piece. And luckily…" Merlin pulled out the crystal piece and dusted the dirt off of it. "I found the Crystal piece just as I was coming to look for you."
"That's wonderful!" Pocahontas smiled and looked back at the male teenager. "Isn't is great, Blurry?" Blurry nodded his head, but didn't smile. Not one bit…
"I'm going to tell you a Magic spell that will help you become stronger in your heart."
"Stronger...in my heart?" The son repeated. The father nodded.
"Yes. Now, repeat after me...'I believe in the Magic'." The father said.
"...What? But father, I already believe in Magic." The son explained.
"But do you truly believe in it?" His father asked.
"What do you mean?" The father sighed, and patted his son on the head.
"You'll understand one day, Conroy Temputus...One day…"
