Bobby's perspective - Second Earth
Bobby woke up late in the morning. He had a lot of trouble sleeping the previous night. He kept dreaming about a person telling him, "the war is not over." He hoped it didn't mean anything. He looked over at his alarm clock. It was noon. Bobby had no idea he had slept so late. He sprung out of bed, got dressed, and went into the kitchen.
"Look who finally decided to crawl out of their cave," Bobby's wife, Courtney Pendragon, said in a joking manner, "morning, sleepyhead."
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Bobby asked, a little peeved.
"You looked so cozy in bed. Besides, from what I could tell, you had a rough night. You kept saying, 'the war isn't over' in your sleep. It was actually kind of creepy," Courtney explained.
"Whatever. At least I don't have work today," Bobby said, relieved. He then noticed a mysterious looking envelope on the table. Courtney followed his gaze to the envelope.
"That came for you in the mail from someone named Loor," Courtney explained, "strange name if you ask me."
Suddenly, memories came flooding into bobby's head. Loor. He knew that name. She came from a distant world where two tribes shared a feud kind of like the Montagues and the Capulets, except for the two kids falling in love. That never happened. Bobby opened the letter with nervous excitement. Out of the envelope came a piece os parchment paper that was folded to fit into the envelope. Bobby unfolded it and read silently.
Dear Pendragon,
It is time for us to return to our duties as Travelers. A new territory has been discovered that is hitting a critical turning point. As soon as you read this, you will need to make your way to Solara. As soon as you finish this letter, head to the flume and take it to Solara. There, Press will explain everything.
Hobey-ho,
Loor
While reading, memories came flooding back into Bobby's head like a dam holding back water had just collapsed. He recalled memories of territories, of the Travelers, of Saint Dane, of Halla.
"Well," Courtney's nosiness pulled Bobby out of his thoughts, "What does it say?"
"I gotta go somewhere. I'll be back soon," Bobby lied. He grabbed his keys, put some shoes on, kissed Courtney, and left.
"Hurry back!" Courtney called as Bobby took of in his Chevrolet truck. He made his way to the Sherwood house. The holder of the flume. He parked his car and snuck in his usual way. Once he got to the basement, He found the flume. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Solara!"
Bobby had no idea if the flume would actually take him to Solara. It did. He heard the familiar jumble of musical notes, the familiar tug as gravity took a coffee break, the familiar walls melting into crystal. all the familiar sights came back to him. A few minutes later, Bobby arrived at Solara. The first thing he noticed was that he wasn't alone. He saw Aja Killian, the Traveler from Veelox, and Alder, the Traveler from Denduron. He also noticed that he was standing in a circle of ten flume gates. It didn't take a detective to figure out that they were the flume gates to different territories. One by one, all the Travelers appeared in the circle. First Loor from Zadaa, then Siry from Ibara, then Patrick from Third Earth, then Elli Winter from Quillan, then Kasha from Eelong, and finally, Spader from Cloral.
"What's the trouble, mates?" Spader asked.
"Did you not read the letter I sent?" Loor asked.
Uncle Press suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, interrupting the conversation.
"My brave Traveler friends," he began, "it is time we reunite in order to help this new territory ride on the proper course."
Bobby immediately had a question, so he asked, "Uhh Uncle Press? Where's Gunny?"
Press's face turned sober and serious. "Gunny can't be with us anymore," He said.
Bobby replied with, "What happened to our friend?"
"Presumably a heart attack," Gunny explained, "That's part of what I wanted to talk to all of you about so let's start with that. With the death of Gunny, finding a new Traveler for first Earth will be a bit more complicated."
"What shall we do?" Alder asked.
"I want Spader and Siry to head to First Earth to find any hints to who the Traveler may be," Press explained, "do that now."
"And how do we do that?" Siri asked.
"Head back to your home territory, then go to First Earth from there," Press explained.
Spader and Siry followed Press's instructions, leaving the other eight Travelers.
"As for the rest of you, head back to your home territory and select a person to be the new Traveler of your territory," Press explained, "Afterwards, head back to the flume and go to Hyrule. understood?"
All of the Travelers nodded and returned to their territories, but something was bugging Bobby.
"Why don't we see the new territory here?" Bobby asked.
"No one has traveled to or from there, yet," Press explained, once someone travels to or from there, it will appear in Solara."
"Got it," Bobby said. He called out "Second Earth!"
Bobby took the flume back to second Earth. He had to recruit his son, Junior. He had to get home.
