Me : Sorry for not updating for over two months. With school work, extra school activities, important exams and tuition, I have no free time.
Irma : Schools are so evil.
Taranee : Irma, schools helps us to learn, like helping us to calculate math or learn new language.
Irma : Hey, T.
Taranee : Yeah?
Irma : I have no idea what were you talking about.
Cornelia : That's because your brain is always in a snooze.
Irma : What about you Corny? I think you put a special potion just so your hair could have feathers.
Cornelia : What was that?!
Me : C'mon girl, quit arguing and let us all be friends. Now on w...
Will : Hold up! Why aren't we needed to say the disclaimer?
Me : Cause I think it would be pretty boring if it kept on repeating. I only give out the disclaimer for every three chapters, starting from now. Anyway, on with the story...
Chapter 20 : A Visitor At Heatherfield
Will and Matt went to get Napolean as they approached the floor which Cornelia and her family live. They both headed towards the door before Matt knocked on the door of the Hales' apartment. As he and Will waited for an anser, he has a bad feeling about something. But he couldn't tell what was it till Lillian opened the door for him. 'If your looking for Cornelia, she's not here,' Lillian said. Matt then spot a glimpes of Napolean sneaking out of the window of the place.
'Well, I better go. Thanks,' Matt said before he and Will left the place, leaving a confused Lillian.
They then went up the stairs, towards the roof of the apartment to meet Napolean there. Matt spotted him standing in front of the door after he opened it. 'Napolean, you have some bad news for me I figure,' Matt said.
'Worst kiddo, I think the king has arrive. And he is not alone. I can't tell who did he bring, but I say that there is at least eight person nearby,' Napolean explained.
'Lets just hope you plan works,' Matt said to Will before they all left the roof of the apartment and out of the building to tell the others about the news.
In the basement of the Silver Dragon, Hay Lin and Cornelia was playing a game of chess. 'Your move,' Hay Lin said after she moved her bishop.
'I am so not gonna lose to you,' Cornelia said as she moved her pawn to block the way.
'I know that. That is why we have to sacrifice anything to get the king on the chess,' Hay Lin said before moving her queen in place before saying, 'Check.'
'No way,' Cornelia said as she moved her right bishop in the way.
'And...' Hay Lin said before moving her castle towards the king. 'Check-mate,' Hay Lin said happily.
'Hey! No fair!' Cornelia protested.
'Corny, that is two out of three and I still win,' Hay Lin taunted her.
'I don't get what this game is all about, I mean the pieces on the board doesn't look anything like a bishop, pawn, castle, knight, queen and even the king,' Caleb said, still not getting what the game was meant and how to play it. The girls just ignored him, even Cornelia, after they explained to him earlier about it.
'Best three out of four?' Cornelia asked, changing the subject.
'Your on!' Hay Lin agreed as she placed the pieces back to the way it was.
Taranee was talking to Aliria about Medimn and her father. 'I can't say that I really know him, I just don't believe I'm really related to him,' Aliria said.
'Hey, I know how you feel. We had a friend who has a wicked brother once. But we managed to defeat him, somehow,' Taranee stated.
'And you think you girls could defeat my father?' Aliria asked.
'Maybe, cause if he does attack in the city, then it could spell trouble for us,' Taranee explained.
'What do you mean?' Aliria asked, still not understanding.
'Well, if he attack the city, then we have to defeat him without destroying part of the city and letting anybody seeing us,' Taranee explained.
'Oh, I get it.'
'Get what?'
'You don't want to be seen by the people because your shy.'
'No, it's not that. It's because when we transform into our guardians form, we need to keep our identity a secret or it could harm our family and friends. And with the enemies that hated us, I'd say we need to prevent the attack on Heatherfield from ever happening.'
'And I agree,' Will said as she, Matt and Napolean came into the basement. 'And Napolean has something to say.'
'There is a fold open up recently. And I have a bad feeling about this,' Napolean said as the girls stop talking and playing chess.
'A fold? Please don't tell me that the king has arrived,' Taranee stated, but Will nodded.
'Well, I guess it's time to glamour the whole city, again,' Will stated as Matt nodded.
'C'mon Napolean, Mr Huggles, we got work to do,' Matt stated before they left the basement.
'Ready girls?' Will asked as the others nodded. 'Guardians Unite!' she called out before four coloured orbs emerged from the jewel. The orbs then engulfed the four girls, transforming them into their guardian form.
'Quintessence.'
'Fire.'
'Earth.'
'Air.'
After they landed on the ground, Will nodded to them that they needed to wait for Matt to make a glamour around the city first.
Meanwhile, Irma was heading into the city with the king. 'I hope that the others knew that we're here,' Irma thought as they were now just outside the city.
'I can't believe that they build towers that tall,' the king stated as he looked up at the building.
'Yeah, very tall,' Irma said, laughing sheepishly.
'C'mon, lets explore the place. I want to find out what they have here,' the king said before he and Irma entered the city. What they didn't know was that a glamour had been placed around the city, which had made both the king, Irma and the guards invisible to the people. But even though they were invisible, they could be felt by any unaware people.
Will was in the sky, spying on them. 'Hay Lin, I need you to follow them, but make sure they don't see you. If you see any chances of talking to Irma, do it,' Will instructed as Hay Lin nodded. She then turned invisible before landing quietly behind the guards.
'Irma, are you alright?' Hay Lin asked mentally, which Irma knew one of her friends would asked her any minute.
'Yeah, for now. Hey, how come nobody is looking at us curiously?' Irma asked, as they passed the pedestrian without beeing eyed.
'The Regents put up a glamour around the city, which of course made you, the king and the guards invisible. Only we can see you guys,' Hay Lin explained.
'Great, but can we get this over with? I want to see my little Leafy again,' Irma whimpered.
'Who's Leafy?' Hay Lin asked.
'My pet tortoise,' Irma replied.
'Oh, anyway, I will be following you guys througout the city, making sure the king doesn't do anything dump,' Hay Lin stated
'Yeah, I know what you mean,' Irma agreed.
'And making sure you don't goof off.'
'Gee, thanks for the wishdom, Hay Lin.'
'Did you find anything about the king?' Taranee asked, interrupting.
'Now that you mention, no,' Irma replied, cursing herself for not doing some research on the king.
'I knew you can't do any research,' Cornelia interrupted.
'Corny, shut up. And if you haven't noticed, I had to meet up with the king. If I go without visiting him, he would figure something suspicious about me,' Irma replied.
'Hey girls, lesss arguing, more important stuff,' Will cut in.
'Hey, Will, how's Stephen?' Irma asked, worried about her boyfriend.
'He's... doing fine,' Will replied.
'Irma, you better stop caused you might want to might want to see where you are,' Hay Lin stated.
'And what makes you think... oh...' Irma said before she realised something. They were now at her school entrance.
'What kind of building is that? "Sheffield Insitute", what kind of name is that?' the king as he looked up at the sign.
'Maybe a good one?' Irma suggested.
'Well, I don't think so,' the king replied.
'My lord, it looks like the building is deserted, should we enter?' one of the guard asked.
'Why not, it could be interesting,' the king said before they all entered the school compound. Irma saw that her friends were keeping an eye on her while Hay Lin followed them as she was still invisible.
As they entered the building, the king and the guards were amazed at how the building looks like. Irma wondered why they were amazed at a school building. She also wondered why would they even enter a school anyway! 'This place looks stunning,' the king commented as Irma rolled her eyes secretly, as well as Hay Lin.
They then headed down the hallway, passing multiple rooms when the king saw a row of lockers. 'What are theses things for?' the king asked before he knocked on the locker, resulting a metal sound coming from it. The king wondered what was at the other side of the locker. Irma then noticed the number on the locker and was both shocked and amused at who does it belong to; Cornelia.
'You, open this door,' the king ordered before the guard took out his sword before wedging it between the gap. He then used the sword as a lever before forcing the locker door to open up.
Inside the locker was filled with books, papers, a brush and some pictures. And one of them had a picture, you guessed it, Irma. 'Oh no, please don't let him see the picture, please don't let him see the picture, PLEASE DON'T...' before Irma's mind control could work, the king saw the picture of Irma with Cornelia.
'Hey, Aliria, this girl looks so much like you,' the king said as she ripped the picture from the locker door.
'Yeah, what coincidence,' Irma replied as she laughed sheepishly. (again)
'Aliria, why are you acting weird?' the king asked.
'Oh no, I hope the king haven't found out about my identity,' Irma thought. 'Well, I was amazed at the city and the girl that looks almost exactly as me that I act differently,' Irma lied.
'Maybe, but I think I better keep this picture first,' the king said as he placed the picture into his robe before they left. Hay Lin then told the other about what had happened.
'Hey guys, I might have some bad news, especially to Corny,' Hay Lin stated.
'What?' Cornelia asked.
'You might want to see for yourself, Cornelia,' Hay Lin replied as she was following the group.
'What about the rest of the bad news,' Will said, wanting to find out what other news Hay Lin had.
'It seems that the king is suspicious about Irma after seeing a picture of her and Cornelia together,' Hay Lin exlplained.
'Well, this could get ugly if we don't find a way to defeat the king sooner,' Taranee stated.
'Hay Lin, you will try to follow them while I have to have a word with the Oracle,' Will said.
'Seriously Hay Lin, what kind of bad news?' Cornelia asked.
'Well looked at where they're heading, I better follow them, see ya later guys,' with that, Hay Lin cut the link, which left a clueless Cornelia.
Outside of the building, Will took out the heart. 'Taranee, you will find Stephen and tell him not to go out or things might get a little too... intense,' Will stated Taranee nodded. She then flew off to search for Stephen.
'Cornelia, go and find a way to distract the king while Hay Lin could takeout the guards, thus leaving Irma alone,' Will intstructed as Cornelia nodded before leaving.
Will then rip open a fold to Kandrakar to ask the Oracle about the king of Medimn and a way to defeat him.
Meantime, in Meridian, Zarla and Irma were both waiting for the time. 'How long does it take for them to get here?!' Zarla asked Irma.
'Soon, caused I have a feeling they will be here within a week,' Irma stated before the sun started to set on the horizon.
Well, that's it for now. I know that study is important, but I have left this without revisiting for over two months. And I have a way for you guys to have fun. Here is a question:
- What is Will's favourite colour? -
You will have to wait for the next chapter for the answer. So please r and r.
