THE FAERIES' RUIN…chapter 12
Setting: Errybody's in the Haunted Woods, talking or something boring like that. Read previous chapter for Brynn's TOTALLY EPIC cliffhanger.
Altador: What is it, Brynn? Do you mean these infernal creatures? Or is something else afoot?
Author: Besides Faerieland freaking SINKING? JEEZ WOULD YOU GUYS SAVE IT ALREADY.
Brynn: *ignores me* Yes, the creatures, but also…I don't know how to explain it…Neopia seems to be decaying. Everything looks dead or dying.
Jazan: Except me. *hair toss*
Fangirls: *squeal and faint*
Brynn: Seriously, Jazan, do they just follow you around?
Jazan: Pretty much.
Brynn: And they don't see us fighting and think it fit to maybe, you know, help out?
Jazan: Nope.
Brynn: All right then. Moving on—
Jazan: Just because I'm distracted by my own good looks doesn't mean I don't have valuable input for this conversation. Perhaps the faeries' magic is much more involved with the well-being of Neopia than we thought?
Altador: That makes sense. I guess models do have brains after all.
Jazan: *winning smile* Why yes, yes we—HEY WAIT A SECOND…!
Altador: Yeah so we need to reverse this curse, you guys. Xandra, are you ready?
Xandra: Yeah I guess. But I need to be somewhere more open, so I can, you know, see what I'm doing more clearly. *shifty eyes*
Old Ogrin Dude: I've always found seeing clearly overrated—
Xandra: That's because you're blind.
Old Ogrin Dude: AND I CAN STILL FIGHT BETTER THAN YOU.
Xandra: Aw, harsh. :(
Old Ogrin Dude: My old people wisdom senses say we should go to the meadows outside of the Woods.
Hanso: Why haven't I had a line of dialogue yet? I'm the main hero!
Xandra: Because no one cares about you.
Hanso: Brynn does! Right Brynn? 8(
Brynn: *walking off with Jazan and Altador*
Hanso: She—she'll be back… ;_;
Xandra: Haven't you ever wondered why she never asks your opinion about these things?
Hanso: Durp?
Xandra: I mean, I can't stand you, but even I'll admit that you have good ideas from time to time. Except catapulting yourself from Brightvale castle. That was stupid.
Hanso: Oh yeah? And what would YOU have done?
Xandra: I would have teleport—
Hanso: If you didn't have your magic, like me, you cheater.
Xandra: …
Hanso: YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. *pops collar*
Xandra: Tch. Doesn't change the fact that Brynn doesn't respect you. She might like you for some reason, but at the end of the day you're always going to be a thief in her eyes.
Hanso: NO THAT'S NOT BRYNN SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT EVER I'M HER LOVE INTEREST AND SHE…she…oh Fyora Brynn whyyyyyyyy. Q_Q
Xandra: Uh-huh…let's go to the meadows, crybaby.
Hanso: I'm not a crybaby! *blows his nose on Old Ogrin Dude's sleeve*
OOD: …man, I'm really glad I can't see what you just did.
(Scene changes to the gang walking into the meadows around the Haunted Woods)
Xandra: *has her face in a book as usual* 'Kay, this is a good spot.
Hanso: How can you tell? How can you see anything?
Xandra: These glasses give me x-ray vision.
Everyone except Jazan: O_O
Jazan: ;)
Hanso: Yeah, so um, do this quickly, Xandra.
(More shadow creatures pop up)
Jazan: All right! Another chance to show off my mad fighting skills.
Altador: We don't have time for this! The ritual must be performed or Faerieland will be lost!
Jazan: Altador, there is always time to kill things with shiny swords.
Brynn: You guys hold off the creatures. Hanso and I will protect Xandra while she reverses the spell.
Hanso: Yeah, we'll protect Xandra while she—wait what? We will?
Brynn: Yes, we will. *grabs his arm and drags him over*
Xandra: *smug expression*
Brynn: So?
Xandra: I need you two to hold up the artifact for me.
Brynn: But we're supposed to be protecting you.
Hanso: We are? ._.
Xandra: The others are doing a fine job of that. I need both of my hands free to do the spell.
Brynn: Fine. *takes it between herself and Hanso* Hold it higher, Hanso.
Hanso: Hey, this is heavier than it looks!
Brynn: Oh, waaah.
Hanso: When did you take a trip to Bitchville? Did you just get back?
Brynn: Ooh, if I weren't holding this thing I'd—
Xandra: ALL RIGHT! So whatever you do…
(Camera zooms out to show the three standing around the artifact, with the others fighting valiantly against the shadow creatures. Pretty cool, bro.)
Xandra: …don't move.
Hanso: I may require a relic paint brush for this task.
