Chapter 3

Gishea wanted to learn more. She'd enchanted and created her own mana pool, but she still wanted to learn more. But there was another factor involved. It was called time. So Gishea used a Teleportal to get home, and Akaly headed in the other direction.

Akaly didn't walk home either. He did a Teleport home, or, more specifically, his artifice chamber. He was working on a few changes to his replicator. He picked up a few tools. He heard his dad walking around upstairs. He was a heavyset man, so it didn't worry him if the roof was going to fall.

Akaly's replicator was beginning to look like the Sculpting Steel that he'd wanted it to be. Suddenly, he heard something strange. His father, apparently fighting a machine. Akaly had just finished the Sculpting Steel. It could be used as a weapon. He grabbed it and teleported upstairs.

The scene in front of Akaly was not cool. His father was indeed fightning a machine, worse still, it was his alpha Myr Propogator. Akaly yelled at it.

"WAKE UP, ALPHA PROPO!"

The myr looked up from its fight. This was bad for it; Akaly's father landed a kick and cut off two of its limbs with a mana-forged sword. The myr grew them back and returned its attention to his father.

"MOTHER!" Akaly said, throwing the Sculpting Steel. It transformed into the myr midflight. Just then, about ten or so other myr of the same design appeared at its feet. Then twenty. Then thirty. It began hacking at the alpha with its tiny army. The original soon exploded into a flash of blue and gray. They had bigger problems now. Another army, the original, appeared at the doors, alerted that the alpha was dead. Meanwhile, the other alpha was still producing an army. Akaly threw mana into them, trying to make sure he caught all of them. His mother rushed behind him, and said, "Oh. My. God."

She ran back into the magical room, and drew out some books. Storing them in the Knowledge Pool so that they would be safe was a necessity They were centuries of family research. If they fell into the wrong hands, they would be used to do what horrible evils lived over the horizon.

Akaly's family held out against the army, and Akaly decided enough was enough. He forged a Greatsword of mana and attacked. He slashed at one myr that exploded into gray mana, then another that disintegrated into red. He stabbed a myr that let off green, then he let loose a blast of blue mana. The myr, noticing an attacker different from the rest, swarmed him. Akaly groaned. He'd been too smart for his own good. Then he'd been too ignorant. Then too reckless. He was not going to survive this one. Akaly hacked and slashed harder than ever before, but it wasn't going to work. Fatigue overtook him, and a myr slashed at him.

Akaly blacked out.

Then he vanished from Asera.

A/N:

I'm kind of surprised that Stryc didn't show up.

(Hey, Suntail.)

Oh. Hey, Strik-Stryc.

(Four, THE EXIT SLIP. It's where the author gives you your homework-fave, follow, review, decklists...)

(And that's all there is to i-)

Now that our friend Stryc is done, let's get to THE MESSAGE.

THE MESSAGE:

This is the first fanfic I've actually written a third chapter on. Come to think of it, I didn't even have a second chapter...

I'd like to thank all of you for your continued support.

Yeah. I was sarcastic. But,- HEY... aren't I in charge of THE MESSAGE?

(All yours, noob.)

Thank yo- no noob, Stryc.

Anyways, yeah. Time for-

(The EEEXIIIT SLIIP.)

Yes.The horrible EXIT SLIP.

I want you to give your feedback to see if I should continue or not. I also want to know where Akaly should end up.

Should Gishea play a major or minor role?

Should Akaly meet Zured from Vast Cityscape?

Thanks for the support! Thanks for readying!

(Thanks for reading!)

Yeah. That.

(Thanks for reading!)

Dude. Seriously?

(I gotta be the last one to say something, right?)
