Chapter 4
A/N Hello there! The changing of the chapters, shifting them and stuff is all due to me trying to figure out where I'm going with this story, which i had already figured out before, but then promptly lost it due to my memory loss...
I'm like, no kidding. I put my ipod somewhere in the morning, then can't find it in the afternoon.
Well...Moving on.
Yes, I finally wrote something that I like! (AKA the new chapters)
I did change the story line, (that was going to be a garanteed, unfortunately) so now it should seem better written.
I think.
Okay then, let's continue.
Remember, I'm trying to make each chapter at least over 1k words.
AT LEAST!

Luigi could hear his friends footsteps as they walked behind him on the stairs. The stairs seemed to go down endlessly, and their color didn't help either. The stairs were a deep blue, almost black, and since there was nothing lighting up the place except for the small, dancing green flames that sprouted from his gloves fingertips. But the dark blue color still melted into the black of the walls. Luigi couldn't be sure, nor did he want to check, if there were any walls. The stairs just kept going.
He could hear Peach and Rosalina catching up on the most recent events, though Luigi told Rosalina the more important details.
Luigi could see a blue light ahead, but he wasn't sure. Afterall, Luigi's flames were casting green light againest the walls, making the experience a little more unsettling. Luigi increased his pace, and soon found himself in a circular room about 50 feet across. The patterns depicted were those of humans.
There were several panels, each depicting different things. There was a large panel to Luigi's left and he walked closer to observe it. On it, there in the center was a figure in white and from the left to the right where people in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple robes, all facing the person in white, who held 7 crystals. Each was a different color; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The color theme was very obvious.
Luigi then look to the right, observing the other depictions.
The one next to it was split in 7 panels. The first depicted the mage (for that is what Luigi assumed they were) in red, who was summoning flames to make a campfire, The second was the mage in orange, meditating on a piece of rock, which was surrounded by lava. The third was the mage in yellow, summoning up lightning bolts and striking them at metal machines. The fourth, a mage in green, who was using vines to lift materials to build a structure. The fifth, a mage in blue, who was underwater exploring a sunken ship. The sixth, a mage in purple, running away from a village cloaked in darkness. And The seventh, a mage in white, who was helping the other mages.
That was all for that panel, and Luigi pondered over what these meant, when he saw writing beside the first panel.
He walked over and started reading, while he noticed the others looking around the room.
The writing held a description of the people depicted.
What Luigi learned from reading was:
The Mage in red was Ignis, and held the power of fire. He was arrogant, but his loyalty surpassed the other mages.
The Mage in Orange was Aliquam, and held control over lava and some conrtol over fire. He was fire-resistant, and worked well with others.
The Mage in yellow was Fulgar, and held control of electricity and lightning. He was a brilliant mechanic and was a genius. He was also a sort of blacksmith. He didn't get along with others too well because of his anti-social nature.
The Mage in green was Arbor, who held power over nature. She was an outgoing optimistic person who loved helping others. She got along with everyone and was loved by all.
The Mage in Blue was Aqua, who held control of water. She was a lover of knowledge, and spent most of her time in the library. She didn't use her power often.
The Mage in Purple was Malum, a depressing looking young man. He had control over the darkest forces, such as necromany. Noone besides the other seven mages really liked him, since his pessimistic mode didn't help people cheer up.
The Mage in white was Lunae, who was leader of the eight. The 7 mages stood watch over the Fabulosa Kingdom as Its rulers and protecters. They were often attacked by the neighbor kingdom Umbra, a kingdom whose raids sprend fair across the lands. Eventually, the Kingdom of Umbra had conquered all the neighboring kingdoms to Fabulosa. Fabulosa was attacked with great force, and bent, under rule of the Umbra Kingdom. The Umbra's had taken the Council of 7 to the dungeons, so they could not rise a rebellion. After many years, One of the Mages, Arbor, broke free with the other 6's help and ran to help the people. Her personality and her optimistism was just the spark the rebellion needed, and soon it turned to an all out war, with Umbra fading away into the darkness and the Council of 7 being restored to power.
After that, the Council ruled peacefully together, going off to other lands on adventures. They often brought home relics and gold, but their most recent adventure had lead them to 7 magical relics, which each member took one as their own. The relics took form as colorful gemstones. These relics gave the 7 new power, far more powerful then their powers had been before. They kept the relics on necklaces, and each person would never take their necklace off. About a century later,(people back then lived longer) Malum decided he wanted to rule the Fabulosa kingdom by himself, and tried to steal the Other mages relics. Malum successfully stole 2 of the mages relices, Ignis and Arbors. This in result, blew away the trust between the 7, and started war. Malum rallied people to his side, which fought againest the other 6 mages, who had people on their side too. The war lasted 69 years, and at the end, Malum was defeated and killed, and Ignis and Arbor got their relics back, and Lunae took Malums relic. After having a meeting, the remaing 7 decided to make a dungeon of sorts to hide the 7's relics. Lunae then asked Fulgar to create a crown, which he did. The crown was Silver, and had one Large slot in the front with 11 slots going around it. In what Lunaes design was that her relic enlarged to fit the largest spot, and then the red relic would split into 2 and fall to eith side of the white, then all the others would follow till the 7th relic, Malums relic, which would shrink to fit the slot in the very back of the crown. Lunae and the others hid the relics in the dungeon-ish place, and the crown was placed in the middle. The crown was enchanted for when teh true ruler of Fabulosa would oneday come to resurrect the kingdom. it could be anyone, wether of royal descent or not.
In the end, the remaing 6 stepped down from their posts as rulers and the people voted on someone of their own, and that person took over the kingdom.
The writing finished there next to the Mage in white Lunae.
Luigi moved away from that larger panel then went to the next.
The next panel was of a battle. Malum stood behind his army facing the 6. The 6 had a larger army, but what Malum's army was comprised of was much more disturbing then Luigi realized. malum's army consisted of dead soldiers, zombies really. Each seemed to have been excited to kill the army on the other side.
There was writing, which described the battle, but Luigi didn't read it.
Luigi instead skipped to the next panel, which held a picture of the relics, which were gemstones, and what the crown would look like if it ever got completed. It held a small bit of writing next to it.
Be warned. Many Puzzles come ahead. Solve each to move to room to room. The puzzles start here.
Luigi could only think about the writing for only a second before he realized. They were stuck.
There was no exit except for going back up the stairs.
The puzzles start here.
The word start had stood out for some reason. If this was as easy as he thought-
a voice broke through his thoughts.
"Hey, Luigi, what do we do?, the princesses and I searched the walls for anything we could use to find something, anything really. You have any ideas? We left you to observe the panels." Mario said, then observing the panels closer, trying to see if there was something he'd missed.
"I have one idea, left me just"-Luigi said as he pushed on the word start on the wall. It pushed in, and a door opened.
"I was reading the writing on the walls, and It said there would but puzzles and that they would start here. So i just thought of the simplest thing I could. Press the start button." Luigi sheepishly said, already heading towards the open door.
"Wait, you can read that writing?" Peach asked, puzzled.
"Can't you?" Luigi responded, walking through the open door, the others following. Luigi turned to look back and saw each of them saying "No."
"This could be because you are blessed upon by the star sprites, otherwise maybe its something you knew but never had need for till now," Rosalina commented, as they arrived in the next room.
"What does that supposed to mean?" "Well it's supposed to mean that your inherited the trait to read a language. It has happened before." Rosalina responded, observing the room.
Luigi looked too. The room had a table with a keyboard on it, and the color of the room was a tan-ish brown. Luigi walked up to the keyboard, and it posed a single question: "How many mages were there?" Easy. Luigi thought. It's seven. Luigi pushed the number seven, and the question changed. "Which mage betrayed the others?' Malum. Luigi thought before entering in the name and pressing enter. One more question showed up: "How long did the war last?" 69. Luigi thought as he entered the number and the door appeared. "Were did you find this information Luigi?" "Yeah, bro, how did you know that?" Mario and Peach both asked Luigi.
"Well that writing on the walls in the earlier room told a story. all those questions related to it." He responded, absentmindedly walking toward the open door.
A/N Sorry about not updating sooner. I didn't lose the inspiration to write, I got caught up in school exams and also was busy with Minecraft (cause I'm a nerd)
Also because i wasn't sure if i should finish it, but i am definitely going to. Sorry, but this next week I'm going to a Honor Band camp. Yay!
Hope You enjoyed!
This is probably the longest chapter so far! (which means i need to write more)
So this time we made it to 2,037 words!
See You Next Time!
Side Note: Thanks for the wonderful viewers! We made it too 612 views! Wow! Wasn't expecting that many people to be interested! Thanks! R&R PLZ
OwO
ALSO The names of the mages and like the names of the kingdoms etc, are in latin, if you are curious to what they mean, BUT sometimes english to latin tranlations change when you tranlate that latin back to english. Also some of the mages latin to english names are dumb because the elements names from english to latin were dumb.
DONT JUDGE LOL
