I'm a tad disappointed and discouraged, but I'm not giving up hope because I want to see this story come to fruition and I'm very happy with the few followers I do have thank ya'll this chap is for you! J
The five friends screamed as they gained momentum. The fall seemed endless! But it did end. In a fleshy thud the girls came in contact with what felt like a stone floor. Their screams turned into pained groans.
As they collected themselves Yan Lin asked; "Where are we?"
Halinor observed their surroundings: A stone floor, grey brick walls with lit torches hanging from them provided a dim light source.
"It looks like a medieval castle." The blonde confirmed.
Cassidy dusted off her light blue; "We must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque." She joked.
"Well let's tang a right turn and leave." Kadma snapped back.
"We came from above Kaddy," Nerissa replied, "I doubt it's going to be that simple."
A third voice rang out but it didn't belong to one of the girls.
"Who has entered my Kingdom?" The gravelly voice growled from it's unknown location.
The five girls shrunk back. Terrified and silent.
"ANSWER ME." The voice thundered, it's owner finally stepping into the dim light.
Before the girls stood a humanoid creature. It had the appearance of a praying mantis, but instead of bug like legs it stood on muscular human one's. It was flesh colored with a sickly green tint to it's odd skin. A black cape adorned it's broad shoulders and it's eerie blue green, bugged out eyes were as pierced and focused as any humans, and right now it's gaze was fixed of the five trembling girls before him.
"Five silly little girls? Human one's at that. Impossible how could ordinary human girls have entered my secret fortress. "
The girls didn't answer.
"But you five must not be ordinary girls," From behind his cape he pulled out what looked like a thick spider web and threw it at the girls.
"Aaahhh!" The girls exclaimed as the material molded itself around their bodies binding the girls to each other.
Nerissa felt her chest burn with fear as the creature advanced toward them. The terrified feeling grew in her chest suddenly it turned into a glow and burned through the binds.
The creature stopped in its tracks and gaped.
"The heart of Kandrakar!" It whispered.
Suddenly the trinket from Yari was In front Nerissa.
"Rissy," Kadma spoke up nervously, "What is that? What are you doing?"
Nerissa stared at the glowing orb in her hand.
"I have no idea," She replied never taking her eyes off of the orb, "But whatever happens next just...go with it. Guardians unite!"
Nerissa managed to glimpse her friends before she herself was engulfed in an electric pink light. She could feel her limbs lengthening, her muscles strengthening, and her energy heightening as pure power coursed through her. It was like nothing she'd ever felt before. It was incredible.
Can't wait for the next chapter, it's the girls first battle!
