Chapter 1: The Soul Reader
Complex and Deathbringer were hiding in the shadows of the Nightwing Kingdom's Seawing Guest Suite. They were trying to get to Princess Anemone's room.
"Good thing Anemone's not here." Complex whispered with a grin.
Complex signaled for him to follow him as he dashed to the other side of the hallway and slid into the room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a guard turning his head towards them. Deathbringer waited for a few seconds and then dashed after Complex. He shut the door slowly and quietly.
"So… why are we here?" Deathbringer asked.
"Well…" Complex sighed, "Anemone threw away the Soul Reader somewhere in this room."
Deathbringer frowned, "Why do we need the Soul Reader? It's pretty obvious that Darkstalker lost his entire soul already."
"We don't know that yet," Complex said, shaking his head, "I think he just wants Clearsight back."
"I guess we'll give it a try." Deathbringer replied, searching on the floor.
Complex thought, From what I remember, Anemone threw it near her bed…
"Check under her bed," Complex told Deathbringer, "I'll check the storage chests."
Deathbringer looked under the bed and saw a telescope.
"I think I found half of it," Deathbringer frowned, "there should be an hourglass thingy."
Complex rummaged through the storage chests, throwing out the junk that they didn't need, he grinned when he found an object that looked like an hourglass.
"I got it!" Complex exclaimed, "Give me the telescope and I'll put them together."
Complex stuck them together and hid the objects under his talons. He signaled for Deathbringer to follow him as he flew out the window.
*30 Minutes Later*
Deathbringer frowned, "Alright, the grand reveal… has Darkstalker lost his soul?"
"Let's see!" Complex whispered as he pointed the objects towards Darkstalker.
Deathbringer tilted his head, the object was about ¾ black and ¼ white.
"Interesting," Complex grinned, "he still has a lot of his soul left. The little bits of white are most likely the spells that he used when he woke up. The ones on Stonemover, Turtle, Kinkajou, and a few helpful spells for the Nightwings. Also, he used a few other spells on himself. Nothing too serious… yet."
Deathbringer spoke, "We should hurry, before he uses too many more spells."
"Well… it's off to the Lost Continent I guess. Prepare for the extremely long and boring trip." Complex sighed.
"Yep," Deathbringer said without any enthusiasm, "I gotta go tell Glory first. Let's meet up at Jade Mountain Academy."
Looks like we're going on a long adventure with them… hopefully they don't die.
