Last time on The Awakening: Light and Co. Had learned about the long Journey ahead. They need to find the 9 Legendary Elements, people who are the next generation to defeat Gias. Light also learned that his father was the first to wield the Hexsword, the only weapon that is capable to defeat Gias. Will they find out more about Aqua, and who they're going to meet? Find out Now!
Light stood there stunned for a couple of seconds. All of the pieces added up, his father disappearing before he was born, never hearing from him, and his mom never spoke about him very much either. It all made sense now.
"Stunted Light? Can't say I blame you for being stunned. I would be to if I found out that." Aqua said, as he started to go out the door. "Anyways, we should get going. Need to get the supplies and go see her…" Aqua blushed, and ran out the door.
"...Right. Let's go." Light whispered, as he followed behind Flaira and Cooper.
"Alright, let's go see Crys first. I want to be able to at least meet with her before the sun sets. Anyone disagree?"
"No."
"Nah."
"Not really…" They said.
"Good, then let's go." Aqua said, as they ran off toward the castle.
"Hey, Aqua? Why are we heading towards the castle?"
"Oh, he forgot to tell you; his little sweetheart is the princess of the kingdom, and-"
"FLAIRA! SHUT UP!" Aqua yelled furiously, while turning a very, very bright pink. Eventually, they had been able to make it to the castle, when they came to two guards guarding the gate.
"Halt! What business do you have with the King or-" Aqua suddenly pointed to a bright blue badge that Light hadn't noticed before. It said on the badge:
The co-commander of the Royal Family Guard
"My father is the main commander; you should know this by now Johnson."
"M-My apologies s-sir! Please go r-right in with your friends!" Johnson sputtered, as the gates to the castle opened, leading to a vast, beautiful courtyard, filled with all sorts of different wildlife, crops, and flowers that Light had never, ever seen before. They walked around the courtyard for a bit, looking around at the wildlife, smelling the fresh bloomed flowers, but eventually Aqua hurried them along, to a spiraling staircase, all made out of quartz, and had blue carpeting all along the staircase. Eventually, they made it to the second floor, where the king and queen sat, talking amongst each other.
"That's King Richard, and Queen Caroline. They've ruled over Hexxtoria since your father came. They're quite nice rulers, compared to-"
"Ah! There's the boy I wanted to see! Aqua! I have a request for you!" King Richard said, as they all advanced toward the central room. Light looked all around him and was amazed; bright blue and red banners were on opposite sides of the rooms, each with its own unique pattern in it. There were Quartz pillars running along both sides, each with lines streaked along the entire pillar. They had finally reached the king and queen, and Light was able get a good look at them; The King had copper brown, frizzy hair, and wore, of course, a jewel encrusted crown. He wore a dark blue shirt, with pitch black pants and a bright violet cape, with gold streaks along the edge. The queen had smooth blonde hair. She too, wore a crown identical to her husband, but a little bit smaller. She also wore bright a bright red shirt, with dark red pants. She too, wore a cape, except it was a bright pink color, and had blue streaks around the edge.
"How's it been my boy? Find out anything more about the hero?" The king asked, as he clapped his hands, and four servants with four chairs came out, and set them by them.
"Actually…Flaira and I have been able to track him down and he's here right-"
"WELL DONE MY BOY!" The King yelled, as he patted Aqua on the back. "So, where is he?"
"Well first, let me introduce some of my new comrades; Flaira, Cooper, and Light, all of them descendants of the Legendary Elements."
"Bravo! You worked as quickly as your father when he was a part of the group. So, who, or where is he?"
"You're looking right at him King, meet Light, the next hero to wield the Hexsword."
"Uh…Hello-"
"So, you're the next heir to wield the blade? Let's see here…" The king got up, and went by Light. Light never realized how tall he was until he was right in front of him. He was about a foot taller than him, and he was about 5 feet tall! King Richard crouched down to his sized and put his arms on his shoulders.
"Light, I want you to promise me something."
"Um, sure sir… What is it?"
"Your father was a great man, and he was the one who was able to have me as ruler. Can I trust you to be as courageous, willing, loving, and many other things just as your father was?"
"I just need to ask you one thing king."
"And what would that be?"
"Can I trust you to have my back, even when it gets rough later on?" The king smirked, and Light smirked.
"Atta boy! Just like your father." Richard Laughed.
"Well then, how about I let you marry my daughter? I think she would adore you!"
"Hey! Wait a minute! I haven't even… I sort of l-"
"Oh, come now! Why not, she's very pretty!"
"Richard, you know that Aqua and her are in a relationship! Stop teasing the boy!" Light became red, and looked to see Aqua and Flaria ready to faint, and Cooper with mouth wide open, trying to find words.
"Alright, alright, sorry for giving you a scare, just was messing with you!" Richard Laughed. "However, go ahead and go see her, she might find you interesting Light." The king said, as he sat back down in his chair. "Go on now! Go See her!" He said, as they all followed Aqua up the stairs.
"Well, that was… interesting..." Light said, as Aqua stopped, and said:
"If see you ever flirting or kissing her, I'll kill you."
"Oooooooo! Somebody a little flustered by the king's words?" Flaira said, as she followed behind Aqua.
"I thought it was cool, to see the king of this land, I hope he knows a lot about blacksmithing!" Cooper thought out loud.
"Well, anyways, let's just go see her." Light said, as they stopped by a bright blue door.
"This is her room, I'll just check if we can come inside…" Aqua said, as he went inside. It was quiet for a moment, and Light heard a faint scream, following Aqua running out of the door, looking terrified.
"Ok… she is DEFINITELY not ready yet…"
"Jeez, what happa-"
"NONE OF YOU SPEAK OF THIS TO ANYONE." Aqua said, as he looked inside again, and Light heard:
"Dear diary, I just had a… Unwelcome visit from my boyfriend. Of course, I drove him off… but I'm curious as to what he wanted… anyways I should go apologis-" She turned around to see Aqua peeking through, and then shutting it quickly when she noticed.
"Oh boy she's not goanna-"
"AQUAAAAAAAAA! YOU LITTLE PERVERT! LOOKING INTO SOMEBODY'S ROOM WHILE THEY WERE WRITING IN THEIR PERSONAL DIARY! YOU ARE GONNA PAY!" She screamed, while banging on the door, which Aqua was barricading.
"I'm sorry! I'm Sorry! I just wanted to introduce you to some of your companions you'll be journeying with!" Aqua pleaded, as he pushed hard against the door.
"Oh PLEASE don't tell me she's one of the Legendary elements… PLEASE AQUA!" Flaira pleaded.
"Let me guess; she controls ice, and you control fire, you don't mix well…"
"That's basically the short version." Aqua said to Light. Suddenly, the banging stopped.
"Wait, who else is out there with you Aqua?"
"Oh, just some friends of mine." Silence filled the hallway for a moment, and then the girl said:
"...Bring the one who talked before you in here." Both Light and Aqua turned a bright red.
"Uhh…. Are you sure?" Aqua asked, as he stopped pushing against the door. Light didn't really know what to do in this situation; Flaira looked like she was about to strangle someone; hopefully not Cooper, who was trying as hard as he could to keep from laughing. So he pushed Aqua beside and went into the room. Suddenly, when he shut the door behind him, he was suddenly face-to-face with another girl. The girl smirked and kissed Light on the nose.
"Hello there. My name is Crystal. But most people call me Crys." Crystal said, as she backed off a bit, and then Light could see her a bit better. She looked to be about the age of Light; 15 or so. She had long, bright, bright blue hair, almost looking like crystals. She had dark blue eyes, and wore a shirt that looked as if it were shimmering like crystals, and a bright blue skirt.
"Uh.. My name is Light, and I guess that i'm one of the Legendary elements... But that's all I really know..." Light stood there awkwardly, his face flourishing a bright red.
"Hmm... All of you people are lucky. I've never even been out of this dang castle since I was born. A lot of people think that if I went out there, I wouldn't be able to handle how the world works. But I've seen people suffer. I can see it all from my window. I know I'm ready to take the truth." There was silence as Light stood there, but then sat down on the bed.
"I think you can also. Just from saying that, I think you've got the courage."
Crystal smirked a bit, then stood up.
"Well, wither way, i'd best be opening the door. Let's talk again sometime, kay?
How did the king know his father so well? Will they ever learn more about Aqua? And Why was Crystal so flirty around Light? Find out Next time on THE AWAKENING!
