Chapter 5
A/N Thanks for the recent followings and favorites!
Also, thanks to (Guest) Rockster! I thought I fixed the 8 mages thing, (because there were only 7) but i guess i didn't, sorry if I confused anyone, but anyways, thanks for pointing that out!
Sorry for not posting as often as I should, I'm trying to make this sorry sound good, because to others it may not end up like they thought it would. All I know is that i enjoy writing when I'm alone, and that some character may be OOC, and for that I'm sorry.
Been REALLY busy and didnt get this out over the summer. I had summer work and marching band, then I had school and now hopefully can finish this chapter at least at 1k words (or more..? ;D) Also sorry but i wanted to give you guys something fast if thats ok ;D
Also constructive critism is welcome, also point out mistakes and I will try to fix them. (LIke the 8 mages instead of 7)
Also, does anyone know how to make those like page breaks? If anyone knows, please tell me in the reviews or through pm's.
Thanks for the support since I'm definately not the best writer (or speller ;P)
THANKS!
LINE BREAKS HAVE BEEN ADDED
Luigi strode through the newly-opened door, with Mario, Peach, and Rosalina following behind, Mario and Peach still slightly confused about how Luigi could read that writing and they couldn't, both of them unsatisfied by Rosalina's explanation.
The next room was a small hallway, which ended with 2 ways, one going left the other going right.
The group of four stopped, and just observed their surroundings. The walls were a nice tan color, slightly soothing, with a large black dot on the left side. The floor underneath was made of stone, while the roof was made of a pink-ish rock, which looked like a kind of granite. There were decorations on the walls, just abstract patterns.
"We should split up."
Mario's voice echoed through the corridor.
"So how about Mario and I, then Peach and Rosalina. We will take left, your group can take right." Luigi answered, staring ahead.
Everyone nodded, agreeing to Luigi's proposition.
"Well, let's go now, hopefully this route will meet back at the next doorway." Rosalina quietly commented, glazing forward.
No one responded, and then Peach and Rosalina broke off the group and headed right. Mario and Luigi followed, going to the left instead.
"Good Luck" An airy voice echoed down the walls, bringing along feeling of hope.
The brothers glazed at each other for a moment, then continued walking through the maze of walls they had just entered.
Mario lead the way through what they had realized was a maze. As soon as they had gone left, Mario put his gloved-hand onto the left side of the wall and followed it. The classic hug-the-left-wall maze strategy. Going through every possible way and dead-end, eventually ending up at the exit. Luigi just ending up walking staring at the floor ad he followed behind Mario. very faint details began to appear that were not there before. Every second he looked at it, the image grew clearer. A line. A line in a slightly darker tone so it could be distinguishable from the floor. Luigi stared back at were Mario used to be but he was gone. Luigi stopped, and looked around. Mario wasn't anywhere in sight. "Mario!" He called out. There was no response. If Mario was anywhere close by, surely Luigi could find him, right? Or should he continue onward?
Mario could find his way through the maze, right? So most likely he probably is at the end, waiting for him. Luigi started staring at the floor again and following the line, believing that his brother would be waiting.
Mario was lost. He had to admit, he hadn't noticed when he had been going in the same pattern for about five minutes. He signed. "Luigi?" He asked. Hearing no response, he turned, expecting to see his younger brother following behind him, but no one was there. "Luigi!" Mario called out. No response. Mario signed, then started walking, He needed to find his brother AND get to the end of this maze. He was so focused on his thoughts, however, that he didn't notice the tripwire on the floor. The floor opened up, and Mario fell in.
Rosalina followed Peach. She personally thought of her being one of her closest friends, since after all you don't get many visitors in space. The walls were tall and foreboding, and Rosalina couldn't help but feel slightly unnerved. She couldn't tell what her friend was thinking, but she was highly distracted. Rosalina lightly tapped Peach on the shoulder. "Peach," She whispered. "Do you want me to take the lead?"
Peach's response was almost instantaneous. "Oh, please! Sorry I don't know I'm just lost in thought I guess."
Rosalina nodded and Took off, Peach following behind her. They walked through the maze for quite awhile, when they saw what seemed like the end. They walked toward it, Rosalina leading. At the end, Luigi sat, next to an open door and seemed to be taking a break. "Oh, hey guys." Luigi said. "Did you happen to see Mario on your way here? I got lost in thought and when I looked back up He was gone." "No, we didn't see him. Do you think if we go on he will catch up? I mean he's Mario after all." Peach responded.
Luigi stood up, and the girls followed him through the door. The next room had a Spiro-graph like pattern on the floor, and several objects stood on pedestals around the room. The pedestals were about 2 feet high and were a smoky quartz color. The walls had several indentations, and was just plain white. There was no door to be seen but the one behind them.
"What do you guys think we are supposed to do here?" Luigi asked them. "Maybe find the right object to fit into the walls indentations?" Rosalina said. "That seems logical. Let's try it!" Peach happily said. The three separated and moved around the room, observing the holes and the objects on the pedestals until finally, Luigi decided to try on he thought was right, and picked up a spherical object, and fit it into a round hole in the wall. Around them, the walls shook slightly before stopping. "It seems when we put the correct things in the holes, then something will happen."Luigi said to them.
They began putting what they thought was the right objects into the right holes, until Peach messed up. She slide something into the wall, but since it didn't fit, she tried pulling it out. The object didn't budge, and the floor started shaking. Without any warning, the floor just...disappeared and they all fell into whatever waited below.
