Well...I guess I didn't keep my promise. Though I had a lot of school work (I'm a sophomore in high school now ^^ heehee) I have no excuses. A promise was a promise. I was actually going to ditch this story because I thought it was cheesy and childish, but after some reviews and plotting, I made a similar plot on the same track but more...in a way with LESS baby words. (I use to be ESL but now I'm a english honors student. I'll try new words!)
As I promised (apparently a LONG TIME AGO); here is the next chapter of the story.
Chapter 9- going back!
(Though...my grammar is better my spelling is...eh -.-" tolerable...)
Chapter 9- Going Back to the Inner World
Everyone looked at each other. Then they all returned their stares at Drake and Lerik, finally turning their eyes to Hunter, but it was just a quick glance. He seemed upset and Drake seemed upset as well, "My son..and I are leaving as well." He quickly threw in to keep the confusion at bay.
Lerik nodded and said, "Right...the garden...we..we've protected out garden from the war for so long. It is pretty much the only green thing left that is standing for miles. It can only stand so much war so only so long. The battle we just had with the Darkrit soldiers..." Lerik shook his head, "took down the last resistance our garden had against war. Peace is gone from here as well. There is no point in staying."
Aqune and Corona became silent. The usual Sparkle, whom had just been sleeping, woke up from the noise. She had heard everything and looked down on the ground. She was young, but old enough to understand such situations. She had gone through the spider rider's war with Lord Mantis after all.
Lerik looked from face to face and sighed at the frowns. "Well..."he began. He gave a quick thinking and smiled, "I always DID wanted to see the inner world for myself! Hunter must've hogged all the fun while he was in there, huh?" Drake nodded at the words coming out of his son's mouth. Lerik smirked as he caught a smile on Hunter's face that smile and faded away.
Drake cleared his throat, "UH HUM! Well now that the grand news has been announced...we will get ready to travel to the inner world!"
Hunter sighed. He had the same troubled thought on his mind again. Was it really and truly neccesarry to drag his precious new friends into this mess. Hunter frowned. This wasn't like him! It wasn't like him at all! Sure he had been all quiet while he had stayed with this family in Greenlord, but when he went to the inner world, everything changed. Yes...he HAD changed his personality completey just to blend in with the new world, but that also changed. Within the small amount of time he had spent in the inner world and arachnea he had become more open. His smile became more of a real thing than a mere act.
However at the slight moment he had set his foot on the soil of his own world again, Hunter felt the very deep stabbing guilt that pierced through his heart. He knew his friends were going to follow him regardless of what he was going to say. He should've tried harder to tell and persuaded them to stay in Arachnea...
From the corner of his eyes he saw Corona coming towards him. Hunter didn't move. He stayed in his area, the corner of the living room. He was going to have to face up to the situation and...apologize for being such a jerk for ignoring his friends instead of facing them the past few days.
Corona smiled a small but real smile. It felt like ages since Hunter and her talked in private. "Well...hi Hunte.."
I...I'm sorry Corona.." he blurted out, cutting her sentence off. Corona stared at him confused, "For what?"
For keeping all this and my past a secret from you all...you guys were suppose to be what I called friends! I kept this from you and I ignored you. I was just...I just...did...I'm just apologizing for dragging you all into this war in the firs.."
No, Hunter!" This time, it was Corona who cut of Hunter's words. She smiled at him and beamed. Her eyes bright and seemed to be like the stars above, unharmed by the war, unfazed by the situation...
Corona held her gaze on Hunter. She had to get this message to his brain. "It was our decision to follow you Hunter! You helped us, and the inner world! You made Lord Mantis make peace and you helped all the citizens of Arachnea! Prince Lumen and Princess Sparkle are both so happy you appeared in the first place! You helped us, Hunter...and we in return will help you and your world!"
Hunter stood there in shock, his mouth wide open. His mouth slowly formed into a smile and Hunter stepped foward, hugging Corona tightly. "Thanks..Corona...That really means a lot. Not just to me...but to Lerik and my father as well."
Corona smiled, "Well now...Our "Our old friend is back!" noting on Hunter's returned smile and personality that he had developed during his stay in the inner world"
From the distance, Lerik grinned. He cleared his throat to announce his prensence and giggled as Hunter and Corona separated almost immediately. "Well, My little Love birds" he chuckled, "Time to leave for the Inner World!"
The travel was a easy one. No need to fall into a portal of any sort and it was a matter of seconds, all thanks so Drake. Apparently, he had known the spell to teleporting to different worlds. Magma asked him why he hadn't used it to help Hunter to get to the inner world. Drake merely shrugged and laughed, "I'm the teacher! Students have less rights than we! Thus, they must learn to travel through the long way."
Hunter laughed, "Besides...if I didn't go through the pyramid and the portal, I'd never have gotten the manicle or seen any of you! Or Shadow!" Speaking of which...Shadow had not spoken at all to Hunter since he left...
"We're here!" Sparkle giggled!
"Home!" Igneous smiled. Home never felt so good...
There in the distance...was Arachnea!
I hope you like it :) I know it's short but :/ I like...to pause between Main ideas :) The main idea here is that they went home heeheee ^^
