Well I'm back with another chapter! I know I posted a chapter only yesterday, but I honestly don't care how often I post chapters, I just write and post them when I feel like it. That means I may post 2 today, but I'm not entirely sure. As long as I don't do anything else today I should be able to blow out 2 chapters, 3 if I tried really hard, but I'm not going to push it. I wasn't entirely sure about how the last chapter would go, but if I wasn't sure then then I have no clue now, I only really had the story built up until now, and most of the ending. So I'm just taking a step into the dark here, I have no clue what I'm gonna do in this chapter, but I guess it will kind of flow to me, just like all of my idea do. Well it will all work out in the end, so tell me any suggestions that you guys have, because I'm getting to the point were I may actually need them. Tell me how you guys like this chapter, and as usual all responses are encouraged and appreciated. See you guys after the chapter!

See you all later,

Gregor and the War of the Myriapods

Chapter 8: Still Love you

Luxa Turned around and walked away, she needed to be alone, she needed to let her emotions out. The feeling she was feeling was worse then when he had left. He had forgotten her, he had forgotten everything they had gone through together. Luxa felt like dying. She felt like life wasn't worth it anymore. She had been fueled on the small possibility that he may return for her eventually. Now he has returned, but with somebody else, and he had forgotten about her. She now wanted only to get this upcoming war over with so that he would leave. So that she could finally begin to heal, so that she could finally begin to move on, for real.

All strings holding the warrior and the queen together had already been thin and weak, but now, it seems that they had just been cut through, destroying anything the 2 may have previously had together.

10 Minutes later and now in Gregor's point of view. . .

The flight back to the palace was very uneventful, and filled with loud cheers from the streets below. Their beloved warrior has returned. Gregor still wasn't sure why Ripred had dragged him down here, though he would have come down on his own anyway. Clearly there was either another prophecy or Ripred had grown soft and missed Gregor very dearly. I would assume the first, probably just another prophecy, some problem that if Gregor doesn't fix it the entire underland will be doomed forever. You know, just he usual type of thing.

Once Gregor landed, he slid of the back of the flier he as on, and thanked him. He then proceeded over to an old man, putting some of his weight onto his cane.

"Vikus! How are you doing?" Asked Gregor as a large smile crept its way onto his face.

"Gregor my boy, it is an honor to welcome you back into Regalia!" Said Vikus as he cheered up at the sight of Gregor.

"Yes well I figure there is a problem if you had Ripred drag me down here, though I would have come down on my own anyway" Explained Gregor.

"Well, we will talk to you about that later, for now you must be starving after that spar with Ripred. Will you join us for supper?" Asked Vikus politely.

"That wold be great. Thank you very much Vikus, though I assume I must go wash p before supper, I'm covered in sweat from that fight" Responded Gregor

"Indeed. Do us all a favor with that, please" Said Vikus. They both laughed.

At that Gregor set off to the washrooms. He got a few cheerful smiles from servant and people that he saw around. Once he got to the washroom he stripped off his cloths and set them neatly on the bench that was positions in the center of the room. He noticed other overland cloths already there to, and he recognized them as Alex's cloths. Gregor made his was over to one of the warm water baths, and settled himself into it. All of his muscles started to relax immediately after touching the water. He then called out to Alex.

"Hey Alex, you there? I saw you cloths out there" shouted Gregor.

"Yes I'm here, and I have to admit I love these baths, much better then what we have" Responded Alex.

"Well I agree with you there, they never stop running either, they are spring fed" Said Gregor

"Well I love them, by the way, whats this purple goo? I think it may be some sort of soap but I'm not sure" Asked Alex.

"Yes, its soap. Make sure you completely scrub yourself clear, if our worlds smell is carried with us enemies can smell us from miles away, and believe me, you don't want that" Responded Gregor

"Well good, because I've already washed my hair with the stuff. You know dude, that fight you had with that rat was intense! Were did you learn to fight like that?" Asked Alex.

"I told you, I'm a rager, I'm a natural born killer. The only hard part about fighting for me is controlling myself. Now I assume they are going to have us go to training tomorrow, so I assume they are gonna shove a sword into your arms and make you use it. Its not easy training so you really have to pay attention, don't be like you are in school, this could be the difference between life and death" Said Gregor.

"Oh, well I guess that's important, so when is dinner? Im starving!" Asked Alex.

"They wont start without us, but right after we are done here, and I don't know about you but I think I'm just about done" Said Gregor.

"Yes, same here, let get going, you go first, I don't want to watch you completely naked getting dressed" Said Alex.

"Got it, by the way, I hope you didn't like what you were wearing, because its to risky to keep it, they burned it all" Said Gregor.

"Aww man really? I just got new shoes to! They costed $120!" Said Alex angrily.

"Well I can take you to the museum, you can take thousands of dollars from there if you want. They don't sue the same currency as we do, so they don't care if you take any, they also have a bunch of cool things in there, so you could take any of it" Said Gregor.

"Well sounds like my kind of place! How about we go after dinner? I mean if we don't have anything else to do" Asked Alex.

"Sure, works for me, though I have a feeling I'm gonna need to do some catching up with some guys first" Said Gregor.

"Got it, let's go" Said Alex.

Gregor and alex got dressed once more, and Gregor noticed that Ares claw and his picture of Luxa and him were still there. Guess that Somebody knew that those 2 items were very important to him.

"Hey dude, what's that picture of? I've noticed it before but never seen what's on it" Asked Alex.

"Well. . . Well, I kind of don't want to talk about it okay? Its kind of personal, I'll let you see it eventually, but it still isn't the right time, I need to do somethings first" Responded Gregor.

"Well don't think I will forget, I'm sick of secrets, so your gonna show me eventually one way of another" Said Alex.

With that Gregor and Alex Set off to dinner. They both got more cheerful smiles from anybody they passed. Gregor must have really been missed if he was getting so much attention. Once they got to dinner Gregor noticed that everybody was already seated, waiting.

"Sorry we took so long, we got caught up in conversation" Apologized Gregor to everybody around the table.

Gregor went over to his seat to sit down, Zoey on his left, and Alex sat down to his right. Gregor then he realized that somebody was missing.

"Hey Vikus, were is Luxa?" Asked Gregor.

"Well. . . since you fight with Ripred, she refuses to leave her sleeping chamber. Anybody that enters gets something thrown a them" Responded Vikus.

"Well why? She is the queen, isn't it her duty to you know, not do that?" Asked Gregor.

"Well we do not know why she is like that for sure, but we have our guesses. Either way we will need her later so somebody is going to have to drag her out of her room" Responded Vikus.

"Well okay then. . . So Mareth! Hows it been going?" Asked Gregor, trying to change the uncomfortable topic.

"Very well Gregor, aside form recent troubles very well. Overall the underland is at peace with all know species, for the most part" said Mareth

"All know species? Is there like a new species?" Asked Gregor.

"Well, we will talk about that later" responded Mareth

"Oh and by the way, were is Howard?" Asked Gregor.

"He is at the fount, no doubt on his way here now due to word of your arrival" Responded Vikus.

"Well ' good, I'll get to see almost everybody again while I'm here" Said Gregor.

After a dinner full of a lot of friendly conversation, and a lot of questions about the underland from Gregor's friends, Gregor and Alex set off to the museum to look around.

"Well this place is a lot cooler then you made it sound Gregor" Said Alex.

"Yes well I'm terrible at explaining things. When we are in the museum grab some flashlights and batteries to, as you can see they only have torches down here" Said Gregor.

"Oh, good idea, I guess that may help out a lot" said Alex.

"Ok here we are, the museum" Said Gregor.

They both walked in and started to walk around looking at stuff. Gregor went strait over to the spot were he and Luxa shared their first kiss. He then noticed the stack of photos was still there, and then he had an idea. He took the stack of photos ad shoved them in his pocket so he didn't loose them. He spend around 4 minute looking around but he finally found a photo book. He slid out all of the photos that were already in it, mostly family vacations of whoever's book this was. He then slid all of the photos from the stack into the slot. Once every photo was in, he slid the photo of him and Luxa dancing into the slot on the cover of the book. He then wrote, using a sharpie he found "This is were I will think of you".

Gregor then proceeded to put the book into a small perfect sized box he found laying around, and he closed the box with duct tape.

"Hey dude whats that for?" Asked Alex as he walked over. He had a hunting belt on with 3 flashlights strapped to it, and batteries in slots that were originally meant for bullets.

"Uhhh, nothing, nothing at all" Responded Gregor, not wanting to talk to Alex about it.

"Ya, sure, of corse I'll believe that" Said Alex his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Well I've got some things to do, its pretty late so why don't you go to bed? We will have a big day of training tomorrow" Said Gregor, switching topics.

"Umm, ok? Ya your right, I don't want to be tired when I'm using a sword for the first time ever" Said Alex as he walked out of the museum.

Gregor looked around for a minute until he found a jumbo sharpie, and on the top of the box he wrote "Luxa". He then Proceeded to make his way over to the royal chambers. He knew he wouldn't be able to get past the guards without a royal family member with him, but he had to try anyway.

"Halt right there, no body may enter the Royal chambers without proper permission" Said one of the 2 guards on either side of the hallways entrance.

"I just need to give something to the queen" Responded Gregor.

"I don't care, you may not enter" Said the same guard.

"Gregor? Gregor! How are you doing!" Yelled an 11 year old halflander as he ran up and hugged Gregor from behind.

"I'm doing Great Hazard, you?" Asked Gregor.

"Great! Aside from not being able to get near Luxa that is. Now I'm assuming your trying to see her?" Asked Hazard.

"Well from what I hear nobody can see her without getting something thrown at them. I just wanted to give this to her" Said Gregor, holding out the package.

"Well its late so I'm going to bed, I'll slide this into her room for you okay?" Asked Hazard.

"That would be great, thanks Hazard" Said Gregor.

"No problem, it might improve her mood, she's an absolute wreck right now" Said Hazard.

"Okay, goodnight Hazard" Said Gregor as he started to walk away, back to his room.

"Ok goodnight" Responded Hazard as he disappeared into Luxa's room.

Gregor walked for about 5 minutes until he found his room, when he went in he slipped on some pajamas and fell onto his bed. He fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

Luxa's Point of View

Once I got back to my room from the arena, I began to sob as tears came down my cheeks. I don't know how long I was crying but eventually I heard Vikus call for me. I ignored him completely.

After around 3 more times calling me he walked into the room and was meet by a book flying from my hand at him. He immediately retreated out of my room with a shocked yelp. I'm fairly certain he got the message because I could hear his footsteps leaving the royal chambers. Once again I lost track of time completely, though I had another book still ready in my hand.

After around what I would say was 20 minutes I had to throw another book at Hazard as he tried to enter, although I regretted it I didn't really care. I can't say how much longer I was laying there. I still laid there when I heard some footsteps. I got another book ready, though nobody ever came in. All that came in was a box, somebody slid a box through the doorway and just left it there. I could see my name written in big letters right across the top of it.

I didn't move at first. I didn't care about what anybody else did right now. That was the case until I realized that it was not an underland box, that it was closed with a sticky gray overland strip, and a weird brown papery box.

Once I realized this I quickly got out of my bed and snatched the box. I went back over to my bed and sat down with my legs crossed. It took me a minute but I eventually managed to rip the gray strip off of the box. The box was then open able. I lifted the 2 flaps covering whatever was hidden inside the box. What I saw made me gasp.

I saw a leather looking book with the picture of me and Gregor dancing on the cover of it, and below the picture I saw something written. "This is were I will think of you". I quickly opened the book and could see through out the pages the pictures of me and Gregor in the museum together secured to the page by some smooth clear substance. It was sort of like flexible glass that couldn't shatter.

What I assumed to be hours I looked through the book over and over again. The pages I always stayed on for the longest was the final page. It had 4 simple words written on it. Only 4 simple words. But these 4 words were what I needed to hear the most.

"I still love you"

Well that's what I call an ending. I think this chapter turned out very well. Though not much really happened it still needed to be done, and think I still made it enjoyable, and not overly boring. I still have no clue how I'm going to fill the middle of the entire story, though I still know that it will work out in the end. So tell me what you guys think of this chapter! Good bad? What do you think? I need to know your thought if I'm going to continue this story! So thank you guys for now 600 views! I only hit 500 yesterday. I got a total of 102 views yesterday. That's insane! This story is getting very successful very fast, and I hope it continues to grow more and more! So as I said with the last chapter, I have started a Underland Chronicles community group! I am still looking for people to join, people that I can share story ideas with, and have those people share their story ideas with me! So contact me if you want to join the community, though you need a story to actually work on if you want to be in the group! I know at the beginning of the chapter I said I might post another chapter today, and I still MIGHT. I defiantly wont until I get another review to know about this chapter, but I might not be in the mood to write later, so don't get to hyped up for it! So as usual tell me your thoughts! All responses are encouraged and appreciated, so I guess ill see you guys later! Bye!

*POOF*

Gregor- what?! Why am I in a cage? What do you think I am an animal?

Tytonic- No, your a rager that gets really pissed at me. The truth is that I'm kind of afraid you will hurt me and try to take control of the story, I can't let that happen.

Gregor- Why would I do that?!

Tytonic- Well you already tried to attack me once, and it fairly obvious that whoever is at this computer controls the story.

Gregor- Well I must admit you got me on that one

Tytonic- Well yes, yes I did. Now for some good news. Luxa got your package, and rad through the whole thing.

Gregor- really? What does she think?

Tytonic- Well that's just it, I can't tell you, you'll have to find out yourself.

Gregor- Uhhh I'm sick of all of this, just tell me.

Tytonic- Nope, and I know you would make me, but seeing as to the fact that your in a cage and I'm not. . .

Gregor- Just send me back in, I cant wait for tomorrow, and I'm tired.

Tytonic- Ok you got it, bye.

Gregor- bye.

*CLICKCLICKCLICK*

*POOF*

Tytonic- Well he took to being in a cage surprisingly well.

See you peeps later,
