Hi guys!
Starry's Light: Man, I thought I did a horrible job with that chapter so I'm happy you like it! And you're right! Kaos is acting like a kid! Also, I finally watched Corpse Party so thank you for giving me nightmares.
Chapter 5: Seeker
What's going on? Why is it so dark? Where's Spyro? And Sunburn?
These questions raced through my mind as the darkness persisted, not allowing my eyes to get a glimpe of what surrounded me.
Then there was a bright flash of white and I could see again. I was back in Skylands, on Light Island, next to the Core of Light, and...Eon.
The great Portal Master stood next to me, smiling serenely, watching the cloudless sky.
"Great to see you again, Jenni." The snow haired man murmured, "You've gone through a lot since you were in Skylands."
"Master Eon, I want to go home!" I exclaimed. "I don't understand this world! Nothing makes sense!" I continued, rambling at this point. "Ple-!"
Eon simply raised his hand and my mouth snapped shut. "I know you want to come back, but that's not possible at the moment." His sky blue eyes bore into me. "Right now, some of the Skylanders are scattered all over the world you're in, and the only way to bring you and all of them back is for you to be together." He shook his head. "None of you can come back when you're separated from each other."
"...So what do you expect me to do?" I heard myself murmur quietly.
"You need to get the Skylanders back together." Closing his right hand, a multicolored light slowly emitting from the fist. When he finally opened his hand, a translucent crystal sat there, faintly shining with the previous light, a bronze chain ensnared around Eon's fingers.
"This should be able to lead you to the Skylanders that are on earth. It will transport you to the area they're in…" As he finished that sentence, Eon started to fade.
"No! Don't leave, Master Eon!" I heard myself cry out, my voice echoing around me as the dream ended
My eyes flew open and I abruptly sat up before pain shot through my abdomen, forcing me to lie back down.
"You shouldn't have done that." A voice said irritably next to me.
My head turned, allowing my eyes to focus on Lusela, her red hair pulled back into a bun, green eyes watching me.
"The girl who attacked you yesterday really did a number on you." She stated. "Mom says you'll have to rest for a couple days but, after that, you're free to go."
I didn't answer, I was too busy looking at the bandages around my abdomen and feeling the ones bound around my head.
"Lusela was right... that girl, whoever she was, really did a lot of damage." I found myself thinking and then feebly answered back to my own mind: "At least, I think so. If Lusela said it, then it must be so…"
A sudden movement made my head turn, just in time to see Cari enter the room.
"Oh?" The redhead stopped once she saw me. "She's awake?"
A nod was all the woman got from Lusela before the younger girl left. Cari sat in a chair that was nearby. "I wish that girl wasn't so rude…" She glanced over at me. "How's your head feeling?" Cari questioned.
"Just a dull throb." I answered. "Nothing major."
"Either way, I still need to change the bandages, please sit up."
After sitting up, the woman approached me and proceeded to unwrap the bandages, leaving me to my thoughts, until I noticed a bronze chain around my neck. Pulling the chain up, I saw the clear crystal.
"That's a very pretty necklace you have." Cari murmured. "Where'd you get it?"
"...It was a gift from my mentor." I muttered back.
"Were you two really close?
"He was like a father to me…"
There was a silence for a few moments.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to him?"
My throat clenced as my mind drifted back to my dream. "He died. Just a couple days ago."
Cari's hands stopped wrapping the new bandages around my stomach momentarily before continuing. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have asked that."
"Don't worry about it." I heard my voice respond, though I hadn't thought those words in my head before I spoke. "You didn't know."
Cari left soon after that, leaving me alone. I continued staring at the crystal in my hand, thoughts awirling in my head.
"So it's up to me to find the others, is it?" My hand clenched around the crystal. Master Eon, I promise, I'll do everything I can to get home with everyone."
Author's Note:
Finally got this chapter squared away. Sorry about that guys! Getting my credits ahead of time during the summer is a pain but I'm dealing with it. I promise I'll try to update more!
