Chapter 7
A/N HELLO! This is the first time I've ever managed to upload 2 chapters within weeks of eachother! Except for the first 2 maybe? But then I remade them sooooo.
Yep! This is currently supposed to go up on Wednesday, 9/14/16, and Tomorrow, the 15th I have math homework due, Religion quiz, history quiz, and a Biology Test!
OH JOY!
Oh quick note: My real name is actually Hannah, and practically all my original OC's have the name Luna, you know except that I only currently have made 8, if you count the mages from chapter 3? Or was it chapter 4? Or 2? Eh I am so bad at remembering things. Also this is not a self-insert story if you get what I'm saying.
But I have time to Type and I'm studying an Hour before bed so ye!
Hope you Like this chapter!
In the next room, however, was a pit.
Being completely serious here, I mean it was inevitable.
Luigi fell first, as soon as he opened the doorway, and the princesses, being directly behind him, were unable to stop, and fell down as well.
They were falling...AGAIN.
Geez, they needed to quit falling down holes.
"Maybe I should have looked in the room before going in!" Luigi yelled
"Definitely! And hopefully there's a bottom to this hole!" Peach Yelled back.
"..." Rosalina was quiet, like almost always.
Rosalina, then looked downward to see if there was a bottom visible, and surprisingly, there was! Below rapidly approaching was what appeared to be an underground lake? Rosalina wasn't sure.
"Hold your breath!" She shouted, and Luigi and Peach looked over, just as they hit the water.
Mario glanced around. The room's floor had several colored tiles all around, and he turned around to find a sign.
The sign had instructions for the current puzzle.
This seemed easy.
Mario made his way to the other side, but it took him like an hour. How was he supposed to remember the instructions? They disappeared right after he finished reading them! Ugh, seriously?!
Mario walked over to the door, and then proceeded to fall in the unseen pit below.
Little A/N here: Mario is still about an hour behind the others k'? Thanks ;P
They hit the water with a loud splash, which echoed over the cavern.
Rosalina quickly came above water, and looked to where Luigi and Peach fell in. They popped out of the water moments after.
They looked around. The cavern looked to be very large, and a small-ish island with a couple of trees and a small home sat in the middle.
"I wonder who lives down here?" Rosalina asked.
"We should head there and find out, right?" Luigi said, bobbing in the water.
"Ooooh let's go! I wanna meet someone new!" Peach said, and started off toward the island. They happened to not fall far from it, they were only about ten feet till the 'shore'.
They stepped out of the water, and to their disappointment, found they were soaking wet.
The house was white as if it was made of quartz, with open windows and a flat roof. The door was a dark brown, contrasting the white walls of the home.
Luigi lead the way over to the house and right before he could open it, the door opened.
Luigi was so surprised, when he tried to back away, he tripped on his shoe then fell backwards onto the girls, who fell down as well.
Laughter rang through the cavern.
Luigi sat up, and glazed upward at the person who answered the door.
It was a she, and she stared down at them laughing, probably because everyone knows it's hilarious when someone falls over. She had copper brown hair, and sterling silver eyes. She had short bangs, and wore a crescent moon necklace around her neck. She wore a white dress, with the top sorta like Rosalinas in the side sleeves, or that was what he thought of that style as. She didn't have a continuation of sleeves down her arms, and her dress in the front when down about 6 inches below the knee. You could see the back of the dress because it went down to her ankles, so she had it shorter in the front, longer in the back. At the bottom of the dress, silver embroidery curled along the edges, and made two lines up to her waist, then seemingly looped around the back. The sleeve part at the top mentioned earlier had a silver color, like the embroidery. But additionally, atop her head sat a tiara, like the ones Peach and Rosalina had. It was silver, with a large diamond on the front and sapphires looping around it.
Luigi observed all this in a matter of moments, and then her saw the woman bend down and outstretched her hand to him. Luigi took it, and she helped pull him up. She did this to help the girls too, and Peach had this weird look in her eye. Peach was planning something.
"Would you like to join me for tea?" The lady asked.
"YES!" Peach excitingly said.
"If you would like us too, then yes." Rosalina politely said.
"If you would not mind, than yes." Luigi added in.
The lady giggled. "Then please, come in and take a seat." She gestured inside and opened the door wide. The inside of the house was surprisingly big. On the far side, there was two doors, and in the room they were in, there was a dining table set for five, with one chair at the head of the table and four chairs on the long sides of the table. There was a small kitchen area, and it was all in a white shade. The table was a dark brown color like the door too. The table was set with white teacups, and over in the kitchen a try with teapots and probably sugar sat.
The trio entered, and Rosalina and Peach sat across from each other, and Luigi sat next on the opposite of the end of the table, on the opposite end of the head chair. (AKA furthest away from the head of the table ;P)
The woman took the tray from the counter and set it onto the middle of the table. "Here we go." She said and sat down. There were three different teapots. One was white, one was green, and the last was black. "Green Tea is the green one, White Tea is the white one and Black Tea is the black one." They looked at her.
"What is it? This is the only tea they give me." She defensively said. They didn't ask who 'they' were but instead chose a tea. Luigi chose green tea, Peach got black tea and Rosalina took the white tea. "So, what are your names?" The lady asked, taking the white tea after Rosalina put it back onto the tray.
"Rosalina."
"Peach!~"
"Luigi."
"What is your name?" Rosalina asked.
"Oh me? I'm Luna. Nice to meet you all."
Peach desperately looked like she wanted to say something, and after a few seconds, said "ARE YOU A PRINCESS?!"
Everyone laughed at her excitement.
"Yes, I am. But my kingdom is long forgotten, lost in the past." Luna responded, a slight undertone of sadness in her voice.
"What do you mean?" Rosalina asked.
"Well, that requires some story telling. It starts with the legend of the 7 Mages, which was written in Latin on the walls at the beginning of this place. Does anyone know this or able to read Latin?"
"Well, apparently Luigi does." Peach said.
"Hey, I didn't know what language it was, all I know was that it looked like English to me." Luigi replied.
"So you know some of the story?" Luna asked.
"Yes, it seemed to be about 7 people who were masters of a specific element, they went on adventures, and ruled the Fabulosa Kingdom, but the Umbra kingdom attacked, and eventually they won, but afterwards on one of their adventures they found powerful artifacts which corrupted the dark magic one, then he tried to kill the others but captured them and stole their artifacts, but one escaped and rallied the people, who managed to free the other 5, and together after some years passed they finally reclaimed their artifacts and had to kill the dark mage. Additionally a crown was fashioned to fit the artifacts power, and the artifacts were actually jewels. Oh, and also that the dark one was in love with the white one, but in the end they couldn't be together. Does that about sum up the story?"
"Well." Luna said. "Thank you. That was very to the point."
"I'm guessing this wasn't a legend but was a real event?" Rosalina asked.
"Yes, it was a real event, and the artifacts location was passed on to the eldest of the royal family, but unfortunately my parents never told me where they are, and therefore their location may have been lost. All I have is a notebook full of unreadable writing from them."
"You said your story started from that legend right? So can you tell us the rest since Luigi told us the story?" Peach asked.
"Ok then. Well, I was born to the King and Queen of Fabulosa about 100 years after the legend took place. The King was adept at spells and potions, one type of magic, although he was not the best overall the people at it. The Queen was the current master of all 7 elements, and elemental magic is another type of magic. When I was born, it was either I would have more magical potential then my parents and only have access to a small amount, I would have control over a large amount of power with none held back, or I would had little to none power overall. I ended up with having lots of magical potential, but unable to use due to restrictions of magic, which are certain magical properties that arise when someone has too much magic. As a solution, my Father asked the Charm Master (another sort of magic) to make a charm to bypass these restrictions. She was able to do it, and the charm was attached to this necklace I have. Whenever I am wearing this, I can use my full magic for about 7 hours, and whenever I stop or do smaller acts of magic then it sorta recharges."
"So you have restrictions on your magic? What can you do anyway?" Luigi asked, curious.
"I can use all the elements fluently, but since there are not many humans left, this magic was diluted over the years, and now almost none of the humans left even have the ability to use magic, but I can tel each of you can use some form of it."
"Ooooh what can I do?" Peach asked.
"Well, your power is I believe wish power. Not like I-grant-wishes-like-a-genie sort of power, but one that allows you to channel others wishes through yourself, sorta like if you and your friends wished hard enough to be healed during a battle, most likely your wish will be granted."
"Oh...Well, it's pretty useful since I don't really fight." Peach responded.
"I think I already know my power, but what else can you tell me?" Rosalina asked.
"Your power is more spell inclined. Like how you channel more of your magic through your wand, your magic is less saying spells but more thinking about the spell itself and what you want it to do, then using your wand to help channel your focus. Your power is definitely stronger than most in this aspect." Luna replied.
"I thought so. I have always used magic through my wand, and always thought of myself as a sorceress." Rosalina replied with a smile.
"Can you tell me my power please?" Luigi asked.
"Of course I can. Your power is simple. You wield the third element thunder or lightning. Very rare, and hard to master, but I think you may have gotten some help, but since some time has pasted you have forgotten your ability? At least that is what I assume." Luna said.
"Oh... I had forgotten about my power. It's been awhile and I have never needed it for anything else, except for fighting, but I don't understand how I could have forgotten it." He said back, then sipped some tea.
"Well, to continue with my sto-" Luna paused as a splash was heard outside.
"Well," Luigi said as he glanced out the window, staring at the figure swimming toward the shore. "Mario's finally caught up."
A/N Yup, you get to learn more backstory next time! I did do somethings like writing a sorta rough draft.
Hope you enjoyed! I will hopefully upload another chapter next Wednesday if I get it done.
