Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 08: The Expedition
Today, Irtha Legend College has an outdoor class at the Bisnus Volcano and Zaston Plain. Most students attend to this class, include me.
"Ellisk! Hurry up or you will miss the bus!" Seawheel says.
"K!" I say and follow Seawheel.
Seawheel, Blastrike, Floria and I are on the same bus to this outdoor class. We will go to Bisnus Volcano first, and then we will go to Zastone Plain later.
While we are on the bus, Blastrike, Seawheel, Floria and I talk with others, but we can't talk too loud because… Glacia is on our bus too. She is sitting in the most front seat.
And…
Jedi, Ordin and Nardal are sitting in the most back seat too…
Of course, no one is sitting near them, because everyone is afraid of them…
But not for me…
We spend the day by travelling around Bisnus Volcano and Zaston Plain. I learn that Bisnus Volcano is inhabited by fire and rock type Pokemon and a strange rock-like creature named Goron. Blastrike's hometown is here. (Floria's is Meraldia Forest and Seawheel's is Phyrine River.) For Zaston Plain, this place is inhabited by electric type Pokemon, include me. My hometown is Zaston Plain.
After we travel between two places, we stop at the border between Bisnus region and Zaston region for a lunch.
While having a lunch, the teacher announces.
"In the afternoon, we will have an outdoor activity. Students, please prepare yourself."
"What kind of the activity?" I ask Floria.
She answers that the outdoor activity is the activity which students must divide into several group. Each group will receive the mission from teacher, and they must complete that mission such as explore the place, find the hidden treasure or solve the riddle.
"Let's prepare ourselves!" Blastrike says.
"YEAH!" Floria, Seawheel and I say. But then… I notice that…
Jedi, Ordin and Nardal are looking at everyone. When they realize that no one is looking at them, they leave the group.
"Hm?" I think. Where are they going? I decide to follow them.
"Ellisk, where are you going?" Seawheel asks.
"I am going to the restroom! Catch you later!" I reply.
"Don't be late!" Floria says.
I run after Jedi, Ordin and Nardal. And finally, I can catch up with them.
"Where are you going?" I ask.
Upon hearing my voice, they look at me with an unpleasant voice.
Nardal walks up to me and grabs me with his hand.
"Hey! What are…" I try to struggle free, but then I stop talking when Nardal points his axe and my neck.
"Stop screaming or your neck shall not exist on your head anymore." Nardal says.
"Ordin, what should we do with this brat?" Jedi asks.
"… Take him with us." Ordin says.
"Where are you going?" Say I.
"Come with us, Ellisk." Ordin says. Then Nardal releases me from his grip.
"Ellisk, why do you follow us?" Jedi asks.
"There is an outdoor activity, but you left, so I follow you and will take you back." I answer.
"But you can't, Ellisk." Nardal says.
"Ellisk, you know who are us. We are bully, so no one wants us to be around, and we shall not stay around them. So, we decide to leave." Ordin says.
"Where are you going?" I ask.
"We are going to explore a place around this." Nardal says.
"By the way, Ellisk, do you have any weapon?" Ordin asks.
I pick my weapon. My weapons are daggers.
"Always keep it with you." Ordin says and picks his weapon. His weapon is a lance.
"You will never know when the enemy will attack you." Jedi says while holding his weapon, which is a bow, in his hand.
"Come with us." Nardal says while holding his axe, which he uses as his weapon, in his hand.
We walk along the way, faraway from our friends. After a silent, Ordin starts talking to me.
"Ellisk, you are the first Pokemon ever that tries to befriend us."
"Is that make you mad?" I ask.
"… No. We… We just…" Jedi says.
"… Out of three of us, we have no other friend." Nardal says.
"Why?" I ask.
"We are orphan. When we were young, we get bullied by everyone. So when we grow us, we revenge them by bully everyone, making us have no friend." Jedi says.
"That is it. I understand your feeling. Because I am also an orphan too." I say.
"Hm? You too?" Jedi says.
"Yes." I say.
"Well… So… Maybe we could be a friend…" Ordin says.
We continue walking far away from our friends, fighting all wild monsters along the way. And then, we reach a place…
This place is the beginning of our story…
The story of Sacred Children…
We reach a huge tower, at the border between Bisnus Volcano and Zaston Plain. This tower is a twin towers. One tower is located in Bisnus Volcano, and another is located in Zaston Plain. We can see that those towers has the bridge that join them together at the top of them.
"What is this tower?" Ordin asks.
"This… This is the sacred tower of the protector of Bisnus and Zaston. The legend said that it was built by the twin heroes who ruled the Bisnus and Zaston." I answer.
"Is there anyone in those towers?" Nardal asks.
"Because those towers are the sacred area, so no one dare to step into them." Say I.
"That it is! We will go into those towers and explore it!" Jedi says.
"Good idea!" Nardal says.
"Not bad!" Ordin says, but I do not agree with them.
"Those towers are the sacred zone of the protector of Bisnus and Zaston! If you go into those towers, you will upset them!" I yell at my friends.
"Who care?" Jedi says.
"Sig…" I mumble.
"So… Jedi, come with me. We will go into the tower at Bisnus, and Ellisk, you go with Nardal to the tower at Zaston." Ordin says.
"Right." Everyone answers.
To Be Continue…
LD: Hey! Aren't those towers the second dungeon?!
Pokedragon: Yes.
LD: What's wrong with this?! Second Dungeon at chapter below ten?!
Pokedragon: Shut up, LD.
