Gregor and the Wisp Rager

Chapter 9: Into the Unknown


The wind sped past Gregor's face as Nike flew through the air like a jet in the sky. He looked down and saw and heard the splashing water in the Waterway. A big smile appeared on Gregor's face. It had been two whole years since he rode a bat through the air.

"You enjoying yourself Gregor?" Howard asked him. "Sure am but all bats just remind me of Ares," Gregor replied, "So which part of the Uncharted lands are we entering?" Howard looked at him. "From what I know we're entering in the north," Howard said.

Gregor saw something far out behind them. Whatever it was it was following them. "Howard do you see that?" Gregor asked. Howard looked where Gregor was pointing. "Yes, but it's too far away to make out what it is," Howard replied.

The next few hours were boring just sitting down for a loooong time. But it felt good to be up high again. From what Howard said they would be landing soon on a small Island big so that they could walk around and rest. Hopefully Gregor could have a snack or something. After all Gregor hasn't eaten since they left.

When they reached the Island, Gregor jumped off Nike and onto the sand. After six hours it felt good to stretch. Everyone got off their flyers even though it was just Gregor, Howard, Ripred, Larry, Ernist, and Angelina.

The bat that was carrying Ripred is named Gordian a stong large bat who had a huge sense of humor. The other bats were carrying Gregor's friends. The bats are three friends Harla, Tarquil, and Crald. They were tough and are loyal to their riders.

Nike and the other bats huddled up and rested while Howard went looking for food. "Dang I could really use some off Mrs. Cormaci's shrimp in cream sauce," Ripred sighed, "She really knows how to make a good meal." Larry scratched his head. "You know Mrs. Cormaci?" He asked. "Oh no, of course not I just wish I did," Ripred replied, "Anyways I'd better take a nap. Good night or afternoon or whatever." He lay down and closed his eyes. Ripred then said, "Don't wake me or you will wish you hadn't been born."

Gregor looked around. "Hey guys why don't you get some sleep? You must all be tired." He said. Angelina walked up to Gregor. "Well I'm not." She said. Uhg. When will I ever get a break! Gregor thought. "Well um you can uh. Keep watch yah you can do that while I look around." He said. Angelina sighed an sat down on a rock. Gregor saw Ernist looking at them. Ernist rolled his eyes and lay down as Gregor left camp and looked around.

Gregor examined his surroundings. He saw trees that have adapted to living in the Underland, some tall grass, and a few bushes. Gregor comtinued walking for a few minutes and came into a small clearing.

The clearing was nice. It had just the right temperature. Right as Gregor was about to sit down, he saw something. It was the same thing he saw earlier but closer and easier to make out. From what he saw it was a bat with golden fur. Right as the bat was about to hit him a girl jumped right off her bat with great agility. He imediately recognized her.

Gregor shook his head. "Luxa you do know that you're not supposed to be here right?" He said. Luxa put a huge smile on her face. "What? Did you think I would stay in Regalia and miss all of the action?" Luxa smirked. Gregor rolled his eyes. "Huh. I guess thats how you act to your girlfriend huh?" Luxa teased. Gregor's eye's pooped right open.

"Wait. Whuh? Girlfriend?" Gregor asked confused. Luxa just shook her head. "Well yah. Havn't you heard we're in love dummy," Luxa said. Gregor hung there for a moment then said, "Oooh. Now I get it." Luxa once again smiled. "Come on I suppose I'll have to take you to camp," Gregor sighed. Luxa nodded.

Once they got to camp Howard had returned and everyone was eating accept for Ripred. "Oh come on you couldn't at least get some fish?!" Ripred said angrilly.

"Ripred I already got the fruit, why can't you just get your own fish?" Howard responded.

"Because you said you would get the food!"

"And this is my problem how?"

"I'm the leader of the mission, and I of course out-rank you."

"Guess what. I don't care."

"Oh but you will."

"Yah whatever."

Gregor cleared his throat. "If you're done arguing I would like to sleep," Gregor said. Everyone looked over. Howard blinked as he saw Luxa. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Regalia," He asked.

"I know but I get to go where I want," Luxa replied.

"Uhg. Fine. Fine."

Howard then looked at Gregor and Luxa. He scowled and walked away. Gregor finally walked over to a spat in the grass where he layed down and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Gregor dreampt of a temple in a in a huge cavern. He walked up to the temple's stairs and saw that the temple was made of a very strange material. He walked up the stairs and came upon an arch. On top of the arch was a word. It read- Stryatome. Whatever it meant it must be so important it was put on top of that delicate arch.

"You must come here. Here you will find your destiny. Come and you can save your friends," A voice said. Gregor reconized the voice from his other dream. "Who are you why do you keep coming into my dreams?!" Gregor asked.

"Come and you will find out."

"Where is this place?"

"You will find clues to the temple during your journey. Rember what lies in this temple will help you save your friends."

The image blurred. "Remember," The voice said, "Remember."

The scene went black and Gregor woke up with a start. Luxa was sitting by him. "Hmm you looked like you were having some dream," Luxa said.

"I was," Gregor said.

"Want to talk about it."

"No" Gregor replied.

"Ok. Anyway we're packing and taking flight," Luxa said, "This time you're riding with me." Gregor nodded and followed Luxa to Aurora. Luxa hopped up as Gregor followed. "Ok. Everybody ready?" Ripred asked from on top of Gordian. "Yes!" They all replied. All of the bats swung their wings and took flight.


Question- Who is the strange voice and what do you think is in the temple?
