"Go where, exactly?" Laila panted.
"pant pant Man! I can't take this anymore! Too much monsters!" Sauren grumbled as he knelt down, leaning on his swords.
"Gimmee your swords…!" Laila offered, holding her hand out to Sauren.
"No way! whoddya think I am?! A crazy lunatic!? You'll just cut yourself! For goodness' sake you can't even handle a kitchen knife without cutting yourself!" Sauren shouted as a vein popped on his head… --#
"Hey FYI when we were kids, that wasn't a kitchen knife! It was an ordinary knife!" Laila bragged.
"And you're bragging about that because,…?" Sauren sweat-dropped.
"Argh!" monsters… again… sheesh…
"I hope this isn't the end for us just cuz of you!" Sauren glared at Laila and slowly, stood up.
"argh!" the ogre shouted, swinging his HUGE club at Sauren's head.
THUD
"SAUREN?! OH FOR- NOW YOU DECIDE YOU WANNA SLEEP?!" (looking at the so-called- sleeping Sauren…)
the ogre grinned its smug grin at Laila. With club in hand.
"OH SHOOT! I better use sauren's sword… whether I cut myself or not… its just like a knife after ll… except… its… much… sharper…and…bigger…and…" Laila's voice suddenly went smaller and smaller.
"Oh fine…" She decided, running towards one of Sauren's sword.
"Gotcha…YEOWCH! Hot hot hot hot hot…." Laila dropped the sword and blew her burnt hand.
"Yargh!" The ogre shouted in anger as IT ran towards Laila.
'Oh man oh man oh man oh man…." Laila muttered again and again, running around in circles.
Fftftfftttttttttttttttttttttftfftftftftftftttttttt
"What-What's that sound…?" Laila wondered.
Fwoch!
"Sauren?" Laila guessed.
She heard footsteps behind her.
"Sauren!" She exclaimed, looking back.
"His eyes… why are they… red… no, ruby… deep, blood-thirsty red?" Laila thought.
"Um Sauren… a lil' help here…." Laila shouted, still running.
The ogre noticed Sauren, a strange aura encircling him, His hair flowed as if a breeze was passing by, and his eyes. They were crimson red… dark, blood-thirsty red…
The ogre got provoked, attacking Sauren.
"SAUREN! RUN!" Laila shouted at him.
Sauren raised his right arm to the length of his shoulder. One of the swords on the floor started vibrating. It suddenly levitated and flew to Sauren's hand! The blade glowed… and flames suddenly surrounded his sword. Sauren ran straight to the ogre!
SHING!
you guessed what happened…. The ogre of course, died…. But more appeared.
Sauren lifted his other arm to the length of his other shoulder and the other sword went to him, just like awhile ago. He poistuoned them both in an X shape…
SHHHHHH….
Causing the flames surrounding the swords to grow stronger!
SHUCK!
He stuck the two swords to the gorund…
VRMMMM…..
The ground vibrated…
VSHOOOM!
flames started coming out of the ground!
And voila! All the monsters died!
Sauren took the swords from the ground slowly, and his aura started deteriorating.
"THAT…WAS SO/…. AWESOME!" Laila giggled, jumping up and down as she ran to Sauren.
THUG
"Sauren?! Sauren! SAUREN!" Laila shook Sauren, now lying on the floor…
Of course, he collapsed.
"Better bring him to his mom…" Laila muttered as she heaved Sauren up and supporting him.
In Sauren's house…after around 2 hours or so…
"Uhhh…" Sauren moaned, struggling to open his eyes.
"Hey Sauren's awake!"
"Oh my poor baby! How are you?" Sauren's mom said as she…lets say… 'squeezed' Sauren.
"I-I CAN…T… B-BRE…ATHE!!" Sauren choked.
"Oh sorry…" His mom chuckled.
"…" Sauren and Laila sweatdropped.
"Thank goodness you're alright…" Sauren's mom sighed with relief.
"Um… what happened anyway?? How did I get here?? At home…??" Sauren asked cluelessly.
"You mean… you don't remember…?" Laila asked.
"All I remember is getting hit on the head because of a stupid ogre because of YOU!!" Sauren shouted.
"Ok ok chill, dude… I'll tell you what happened if you really don't remember…"
so She told him everything…
":But… that wasn't me…" Sauren wondered.
"Then who was it?! It was YOUR body, YOUR face, YOUR clothes, and YOUR swords!" Laila emphasized.
"BUT IT REALLY WASN'T ME!! I CAN'T EVEN DO ANY OF THE THINGS YOU JUST SAID! The fire thingy, the vibration, I can't do magic!" Sauren argued.
"It was you, Sauren Fernon." A voice from the direction of the door said.
Everybody turned around to see who it was.
"Mayor…what do you mean, it was me..?" Sauren asked.
"What happened to you awhile ago was a 'power trigger'. It only happens when a castor is in great danger." The mayor explained, entering the room.
"Castor…?' Laila and Sauren asked in unison.
"A castor, is a magical being. Like a sorcerer. But more powerful. Castors have elemental powers and can use them as weapon in times of need." The mayor carefully said.
"So you're saying… I'm a castor…?" Sauren asked.
"A fire castor, to be precise." The mayor replied.
"So what about the two swords I found…?" Sauren wondered.
"They were your father's"
"WHAT?!"
"Why are you so surprised…?" His mom asked.
"Dad can ACTUALLY hold swords?!" Sauren exclaimed.
"Um , yeah…" His mom sweat dropped.
"But…but…he's a CLUTZ!" Sauren emphasized.
"You were told that Ense Fernon, your dad, died when you were young. The truth is, Ense went on a mission. He was a fire castor, too. He never came back…" The mayor said, regretfully.
"So he's still… alive?" Sauren asked, with hope in his eyes.
"Maybe. Maybe not. The swords you found were his. He left them behind before he went." The Mayor muttered.
"Mayor, what do you know about the moon-covering-the-sun thingy…?' Laila interrupted.
"Yes… it's happening again. As told by the prophecy. But the world is still safe… for now." The mayor sighed.
"Why? What's the matter…?" Sauren wondered.
"The red moon's shadow's… destruction… is about to begin…" The mayor said with remorse.
"What's that…?" Laila asked impatiently.
"It's a happening… that occurs every 21 years…" The mayor whispered.
"Why 21?" Sauren asked.
"Because 7+7+7 is equals to 21. it's a lucky number. Just kidding. I don't really know why." The mayor explained, chuckling.
"anyway, this 'shadow' that falls upon our world. It kills ALL HUMANS in the path of the shadow. It will slowly devour our world. Monsters, in turn, don't get affected. Instead, they multiply and gain more power. The only way to stop this 'shadow' is to gain the true power of the six elements. To do that, you must gain the 6 elemental crystals scattered all over our world. I estimate that you have around 2 months to gather all 6 elemental crystals. Here. It's a device that teleports you to other towns… it's called a trans gem. But it's currently broken. Go to Katsumada to get it fixed." The mayor explained.
"Um…ok…" Sauren said.
"YOU! GO! NOW!" Laila shoved Sauren out.
"ARE YOU KIDDING?! ITS ALMOST NIGHT!!" Sauren shouted.
"Wait, mayor, why does Sauren have to get the crystals?" Laila asked.
"Cuz he's a castor. To put it shortly, there are thousands… no…MILLIONS … of castors all over the world. But only a few know they are one. Some need their power triggers, just like you did Sauren, to unleash the power within them. Some have the power locked up within them forever. Some are born with powers. Your dad as a castor, and so was your mom. So was your dad, Laila. And Mr.Madigon (Seth and Reina's dad) was too, and some others. It was them who saved our world from destruction 21 years ago. Now, you must go. The prophecy says that the crystals can only be held and retrieved by the castors who hold the same element. Try to find the other 5 first before you go on your quest." The mayor added.
"WAIT! I BARELY EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE MY POWERS!" Sauren panicked.
"The talent is within you. Just as what happened awhile ago… you'll soon learn to control your powers consciously." The mayor snickered.
"Ok Sauren! you have to sleep now you have to go tomorrow!" Laila shoved him up the stairs.
"EHEM EHEM both of you will go." The mayor grinned.
"WHA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!" Laila and Sauren shouted in horror.
"I CANT EVEN FIGHT!" Laila argued.
"YEAH I AGREE WITH HER! SHE CANT EVEN FIGHT!" Sauren agreed.
"I left my wooden boy outside… I can't remember where either!" Laila complained.
"Hm.. maybe this will help…" Sauren's mom said as they followed her out of the room into her room.
Sauren's mom opened her closet and reached to the VERY END of it. And pulled out a VERY BIG box.
"Here Laila, dear." Sauren's mom said, giving her the box.
Laila slowly opened it.
"Wow." Laila gasped.
It was a silver bow. Glimmering like a crystal. With a whole quiver FULL of arrows.
"It's…beautiful.." Laila gaped.
"It's called 'the wind fairy's crescent bow'. I used to be a castor. And I used this bow as a weapon. I no longer need it. So I entrust it to you." Sauren's mom smiled.
"THANK YOU!" Laila smiled, hugging Sauren's mom.
They both smiled.
"Ok I have to go. PICK ME UP AT 7 SAUREN!" Laila ran as she shouted.
"Pick me up at 7/! She makes it sound like a date!" Sauren muttered.
Fast forward to the next day…they set off for their journey already
More ogres. Again.
"AW MAN! I'm so tired of these dudes already!" Laila complained.
"Well, fighting time!" Sauren unsheathed his swords.
"Hey I don't see any tree to climb.." Laila looked around.
"JUST HIT AND RUN!" Sauren said, running to an ogre.
