Last Time
"Thou should consult the King and Queen." Rider A said.
"Yes. For once, I shall agree with thee. The King and Queen will know what to do." Rider B agreed.
"Hang on a second." Keith said, deciding to ask the question gnawing at his thoughts. "What is the year?"
"It is 1510" Rider A answered. "When art thou from?" he added questioningly.
"2010…" Kate answered.
"Dang, that's about 500 years ago…" muttered Keith.
"Well," Kellyn said letting out an unsure laugh. "That sure explains a few things."
Ch. 3~Ancestory
A Rip in Time
.
Kellyn, Kate, and Keith looked at the small village they were passing by in shock of how much difference just 400 years could make. At this point, the sun had already risen and the silent town the trio had been looking over when they had first arrived was now bustling with excitement. On top of some of the hills they could just see cows grazing and both an old man and a little watching over those cows. There were people heading from here to there to get chores done or to get done with shopping for food and other goods.
"Wow…" was all that Kate could manage to say. "The people's reactions here almost seem like back in Fall City…"
"Fall City?" ask Rider A.
"Yeah." Keith agreed. "It does."
"What is this Fall City?" Rider B asked.
"It's one of the four cities in current, or at least, from the time we're from, in the Fiore region." Kate replied, getting a nod from both Rider A and B in understanding.
By this time, the group had reached the town square. In the middle there was a small, glittering blue pond.
"Hey, before we go any farther, or it slips are minds again, I don't think that we've introduced ourselves yet. And I don't think you have either…" Kate said, then politely added, "Could you please do so, and grace us with your names?"
"Hm. It dast seem that we didst forget to introduce ourselves." Rider A said. "We already know your names from that conversation back on Celebi Hill."
"Celebi Hill?" Kellyn asked. "Is that were we were time traved to?"
"Yes." Rider B said. "I am Sir Keith, but thou peasants shall just callth me Sir." He added, with disgust in his voice again.
Kate struggled to refrain a straight face as she heard Keith mutter a small pout. "I wanna be called 'Sir'."
*Sigh* " When with thee learn… Thou art not peasants. Thee art not even from this time. Not to add, from the way thou act, I can say it dost not even look like they have the same social order in thou time…" Rider A said getting slightly annoyed with 'Sir Keith'. "I on the other hand, am Sir Kellyn. I was assigned a task to help the army here in Fiore defend themselves against the team of evildoers that hast arisen inside thou own walls in regards to Queen Elizabeth of my home region of Almia."
"So… Let me get this straight… You are Sir Keith, and you are Sir Kellyn?" Kellyn asked, looking quite confused at the moment.
"Yes." said Sir Kellyn.
"Ok, moving on…" Kellyn said, obviously getting creeped out. "Hey, where did you say that you were taking us again?"
"We art going to take thou to seeth the King and Queen of Fiore; King Nicholas and Queen Kiana." said Sir Kellyn, with pure respect in his voice. (Kiana is pronounced Key-on-nah. Thanks Kiana for letting me 'borrow' your name! Even if I hadn't told you about it before this! *sweat-drop*)
"Somehow, Kate, that seems like something you've said in a conversation that I zoned out on…" said Kellyn, earning himself a glare from Kate. "Sorry! Blame my short attention span!" he continued, sweat dropping.
"Well, yes, Kellyn, you're right." Kate said. "I have talked about them a few times. Do you remember the National Almia Holiday party that Barlow and Crawford threw?"
"Oh, yeah…?" Kellyn and Keith said, not very sure.
"You know; the one we all had to dress up as one of your ancestors?" Kate added. (BTW, I made this up a while back, when I was just starting this story, about four months ago, in December.)
"Oh yeah, that one!" The two male rangers said.
"Well, I did some research and found a lot out about famous people from Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia. Some of which, are ancestors of some of our friends." Kate said, seeing two and two click in the boys' heads.
"Some of which, are ancestors of some of our friends?" repeated Kellyn, starting to trying to process what he had just been told.
"Yeah, like Prince Kazuki, and Lady, and later Queen, Kathrin of Almia, was Lunick's and mine ancestor. Lady Aria is Aria's Ancestor. Sir Hayate, who was in charge of all of the knights of Fiore, was Spencer's ancestor. Elita's ancestor, Lady Erida, was in charge of all of the maids in the Almia Royal Castle. Not surprisingly, both Jack Walters and Crawford's ancestors where both jesters of two different royal families; Walters in Fiore with Aria's ancestors, and Crawford in Almia with my ancestors. Then you've got Sir Barrow, Barlow's ancestor, who was in charge of all of the Almia knights. Plus those three rangers over in Oblivia, Ben, Summer, and Rand. Ben and Summer's ancestors, Natsuya and Minami, surprisingly were partners in both combat AND magic. Then Rand's ancestor, Sir Talga, was in charge of all of the Oblivian knights. -" she was cut off Kellyn as he asked who most of these people were.
"Ok, Kate?" he asked slowly. "I knew you knew a lot of people that I don't, but who are these people?"
"Oh, sorry…" Kate shyly apologized. "Ok, I'm going try to say this slowly… Aria is Fall City ranger, who acts like a stereotypical cheerleader. Let's just keep it at, if she and Solana were placed in an empty room; only one would come out alive. And I place my money on Solana… Anyways, Spencer is the-"
"Spencer is the Ringtown Ranger Leader. Was rank 10 before he became Leader. Husband of Elita, Wintown Ranger Leader. Father of both a son and daughter, of which the daughter is 17, and the son is 12, meaning they are 5 years apart." Keith interrupted Kate, as he was leaning up against the truck of a nearby Oak tree.
"Wow, Keith, I didn't know that you knew that much about him…" Kate said in udder shock that he could know that much about the Ringtown ranger Leader… Unless he was just another one of those stalker fans, but he really didn't seem to strike her as one of those people.
"Jack Walters, or as he likes go by, Jackie, is the type ranger commonly referred as a 'nomad ranger', meaning that they report to the Ranger Union, but work in more than one country, and are not a top ranger. Kellyn, you know who Barlow, and Crawford are. Ben and Summer are two top rangers that, as Kate stated, work in the Oblivia region. They're both about 15 or so, give or take a few months. Other than that, I don't know much more than that on Ben and Summer. Rand on the other hand, up until about a year ago, was the only ranger in the Oblivia region. He's married to Leanne, one of the smartest people I have ever met, and has a daughter who is, uh, I think Nema just turned 10 last month." Keith finished in a little more detail that Kate could have ever said.
Keith's answer earned him one thing: Blank stares from both Kellyn and Kate.
"Hey Kellyn, Kate." Keith continued.
"Yeah?" The two responded still in shock to hear their best friend say this much info. Just a week ago, they had thought that if he would have held this much info in his head, ether it was the end of the world, or that Keith's head would ether implode or explode.
"Close your mouths. You'll catch flies." Keith said blankly, closing his eyes with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Me: Yeah… Sorry I took so long to update… I hate writers' block. I knew what I wanted the chapter to contain, but didn't know how to get the characters to do so…
Kate: Don't forget all the distractions like school, homework, swim team, and orchestra.
Me: Don't remind me… T.T
Kellyn: Hey… Did you notice that in the first chapter, you said you wouldn't update until you got five reviews?
Me: Yeah… I kinda forgot about that… I only got about a whopping one review for the first chapter, and posted the second chapter… I sorta posted the stories as soon as I finished that for that mentioned chapter… But hey, I don't hear any complaints…
Keith: I'm complaining about this! * Crosses arms and sticks out bottom lip and looks away with eyes closed*
Me: Well guess what Keith.
Keith: What? *losses pose*
Me, Kellyn, and Kate: Nobody cares!
Keith: You guys are mean… *walks off*
Me: K, Kellyn, you're doing the disclaimer.
Kellyn: What? Why me? I did it for the last chapter!
Kate: He's right… *looks at the last chapter* He did do the disclaimer last chapter…
Me: Great… Now who's going to do the disclaimer…
Kate: I will!
Me: You sure?
Kate: Yeah! DeepDarkYetDangerous does not own anything that she does not have, including Pokémon, or her own house or car… For now…
Me: Nice touch…
Kate: I don't see what's so bad about doing the disclaimer…
Me: Me neither… Well bye! Have fun! Don't forget to right! Don't forget to make friends! And don't forget to review!
Kellyn and Kate: … Just review…
