7. Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I don't own Timecrest all right we want to sneaky crab Don't think of this story as too much effort. Think of it as a fun story, but also with some serious stuff thrown in all right with that, I'll get into what the chapter is gonna be about...

this chapter is about the trials it's gonna be dangerous and crazy. Some stuff is going down. There's gonna be some awesome crazy stuff going down in this chapter the watch will be very active and it is going to be crazy. It's the trials and I'm hoping that things will be north not normal but it'll be fun I guess we're going up the antics of the damsel and distress thing in this chapter as well so I hope you enjoy it. Please come and check it out.

I'm awake that's great it's time for the trials. I stretch and reach up take the watch off its charger and put the charger back into my pouch. No, no one knows I have this thing they come and expect my room so if they saw me using this to charge up my watch, and the watch they'd be angry with me horse I'd be dead off. I don't even be brought to my sister for questioning and I don't want to face my sister right now I probably want to face her eventually, but I hope not for a while. I hope I can get through these trials without having to see my sister's face, she gives me the creeps and I hate her. I'm scared of her if you can tell by my voice.

good luck with the trials

thank you I said as I looked at the watch face. I'm glad you have my back for this. What should I tell the people what you are to me? Should I tell them that you're my friend or not? That would be weird my teammates I mean.

Tell them what you feel like that I am to you if you want to tell them I'm your best friend and tell them that

all right, then, that sounds great. I feel that way about you as well. You mean more than me than you realize I said as I had the watch close to me I also put the toy in my pouch or the pocket of my cloak I don't go anywhere without it now, I hope that I don't end up on black ion after this or even worse cause I know you have my back if I do die, you can bring me back from the dead by just turning back time. All right let's go.

we weren't meeting at any gate. We had to leave the gate to meet outside the guild because we had to travel a little way to where Trimble caves were. We were not split up into our teams yet and it was still dark outside. It was early morning and sunrise hadn't risen. The sun hadn't risen yet until we got to a dark cave area I heard one of my masters say, and with the hateful mean administrators say now it's time to find your teammates. The other guild will be here soon. We don't like working with other guilds, but this is a bigger event than we were expecting, our guild, proud I heard my sister's voice. She was the head master obviously or be humiliated for the rest of your lives. She said her unsettling gaze fell on me now find your team.

and no chatting amongst ourselves man she's so demanding I thought and said out loud what do you think?

Yes, I agree with you. She is so mean and so demanding.

So mean, and so demanding

yes, I can't agree with you more I said as I cradled the watch in my arms I don't know how I would make it through these trials without you without you by my side to help me you mean to me more than you think more than you ever would know you're more than just to watch my best friend let us go and find our team before I get scolded. All right let's go.

there they are at least there's the post that says 13 right then oh there's someone already standing there. She has this awful look on her face. I can't believe she's on my team that must be Ava. I'll try to add friendly to her as best I can but don't count on anything out of it she looks like she wants to kill me.

be careful

yeah thanks, thanks for reminding me to be careful around her

here it goes. I'll do my best. I stand my hand. Hi, I said as cheerfully as I could with the biggest smile I could make I'm Ash I'm your teammate I'm gonna stomp you yeah OK and this is my friend's pocket. Watch really? You're weird. She said you're the weirdest person ever, why do I have to have a weirdo on my team you are grumpy I gave you that Stop talking your voice gives me a headache wow OK all right then she just ignored me. I washed as the sunrise everyone else was mesmerized as well except for the girl standing next to me, she also had a sword by her side.

I wanted to try again for conversation so I asked her about the sunrise and what she thought about the sun about the nighttime coming back to Lucia. Did you hear what I just said to you? I don't wanna hear you talking to me man I just asked a question, if you ever try to teach me again during these trials or ever again, I hope our team doesn't stay together because I cannot stand to be near you. If you ever speak to me again during these trials, I will zap you so hard you wish you were dead. if he's at me that hard then I would be dead. I came back and commented back well don't make me have to test that theory. I don't want to kill you before the trials begin. That would be worse than anything else and I can't believe I'm on a team with a weirdo like you man that hurts my feelings. I said I did not try not to cry, but I couldn't help it. Tears fell from my eyes as she insulted me, baby. She said you're just a big baby.

do you think you miss big shots, huh? Big shot big shot just because I know who you are. What do you mean by that? Well, she said with the awful nasty scale on her face I know who you're related to I can't believe you're not evil like her though you're a baby compared to her soft, she's talking about my sister that's who I'm talking about, Lucy would never cry. She would probably be able to punch you. I did show her my injuries from where she had smacked me before good job showing you what boss I didn't even do anything I said that's even worse. I hope I can lip you up too in this trial because man you're so annoying, I might get a chance actually what do you mean by that?

I'm not gonna explain myself to you she said so just be quiet and wait

I stood away from her took the watch for myself and looked at it I already didn't like her. I said, shaking a bit, and my breathing sped up, and the trials hadn't even started yet. I can tell she's not a team player. Well, I'll try to do my best to stay out of her way as much as possible during this trial, but I'm still terrified I said, as my breathing sped up, and my heart rate increased.

attempted to conversation again hey do you need me to help you spit it out? Do you need me to help you find your ambulant? Oh, I don't need your help with that. I already know the spell she said I've already done it so you don't need to do that for me since you spoke to me, I wanna beat you up right now I don't think that's a good idea before the trials I said, as I shook a little, I shuttered she walked closer to me. I'm not gonna stab you with the sword and kill you, but I am gonna use my magic on you, she said Magnus, she said as a shock went up my body and I fell and was paralyzed. What did you do that? I told you to shut up and you didn't listen, so I shocked you you should be fine I'm not killing you that would be petty when you think but maybe I should kill you because you're such a baby and a pest maybe I should kill you before the trials yeah, that sounds good. I'll kill you before the trials even begin.

hey administrator called no fighting before the trials. This truck person is driving me nuts all right then continue then I'm going to make you pay for speaking to me just speaking to you, I said, stuttering, paralyzed still from the attack. My legs and arms were paralyzed I could not even reach my pouch to get to one of my aura potions. My amulet was almost depleted it better not crack please don't crack please don't crack I thought.

maybe I should rough you up a little. She said Richie down and beating me up even more not using magic just her hands she hit more than just my face. I thought back as best I could but my combat pills weren't as good and I had no magic to defend myself with, what's wrong weekly having no magic what's wrong can you not fight back?

I think she's a coward

what was that? I didn't say anything I said you didn't hear that. No, I did not hear that. I said you must be a coward. Well, you're the one who's afraid you're the coward you're a hairless little muff without any help you know I beat up my sister wants, she disowned me but still that's something now I'm gonna do the same to you, Magnus, she said again running up in her attack again juice long wave came and hit us another female voice, my other teammate Raven she long, beautiful, blonde hair and dark skin, big blue eyes and a great well it looks like a scowl, but it wasn't towards me now what in the world why are we fighting before the trials we had to rely on each other I didn't even know that the other guild has shown up now it's even no it's not. It is said the girl it's even now if you wanna fight me fight someone who has magic, that's why I said it was even why would you pick on a girl who a child who has no magic that is ridiculous because the kid is annoying well it's no reason to pick on a helpless child. She said again helping me up but I was paralyzed. She picked me up and held me for a moment. Can you get my pouch? I said course the girl said " Pick up an aura potion here drink this your aura should be back to 100 soon she told me until the effects wore off and my aura amulet was back to normal. We're not gonna fight like this. We have to rely on each other to survive this trial and get out of it alive will be fighting fast not each other what do you mean girl what I mean she said as I regained strength back to my limbs and stood up. I am still a little wobbly here lean on me for a moment. Thank you who are you? I'm your teammate, Raven Mendenhall, she said flashing a big smile that was very genuine, I said, oh nice to meet you she said excited stick by me and we'll get through these trials. I'll keep you safe as much as I can.

and don't pay attention to Ava. She hates everyone. Why don't you just shut up she yelled back.

So she said wait until the lightning wore off and I stood up so your pocket watch is pretty thank you I said, but it's more than just pretty. I said the watch helps me connect to a cool friend she said so you tell your friend everything I have to because the magic only responds to me well kind of it's complicated, well you don't have to explain things to me right now said Raven flipping her long blonde hair around her finger and wrapping it around her finger and fluff it behind her head. Do you not braid your hair never had and I don't have anyone to help me with it the bad thing is will probably never see each other again, so I'll probably never even ask you to braid my hair I can't braid either I said, you have pretty long hair too. Thanks. This is not a time to be admiring each other's hair said Eva is the only way we can break the ice. No, we're not gonna stop anything by just standing here. They're probably just gonna teleport us inside said Raven Teleport us can we just walk in no Cause we wouldn't know where to go

and Raven was right we were teleported inside of Trimble caves. It was creepy. I felt afraid, but I didn't feel too bad because my friend my new friend Raven was standing next to me well I didn't expect that now we're inside the cave can you stop telling me everything that's going on around you wow you got your in you got your aura emulate bound to you already. Yes, I said nodding wow you already know the binding spell. I had a difficult time with it you don't know the spell. No, I do not then I'll find it for you I guess thanks I was flattered said Raven. Nice, thank you thank you Ash for bonding it for me now.

I can find my own emulate said Ava and she did she bounded herself. You're so stubborn and not letting others help you so no I'm not listening to you. I wish this was a solo trial and then we could've gotten out of here easier alone I still would've wanted to pair a partner, at least now that that's done we need to figure out one more thing I said we need to figure out who's gonna be the leader of this team it will be me said Ava you listen to me and we can get through this. I'm not listening to you you're rude, no manners whatever I'm gonna be the leader and you're gonna listen to me. I'm also older than you which makes me the leader by default you two are only 16 but I have the better magic said Raven I should be the leader not because I want to be, but because I'm the strongest out of us. I am stronger. I have strong, lightning magic that can zap you to senseless. I've already done it to Ash here I could do it to you, we're not gonna fight yet and we're not gonna fight at all. OK OK too nice thank you you know what if everyone's gonna be so rude about it I said I should be the leader you have no magic sweetheart comforting she put her Raven put her hand on my shoulder, you can't lead but I have the pocket watch I know you have a pocket watch they can save you, but what my friend can keep us safe. I said you were so you should listen to Ash is probably right all right then SUR leader it'll probably help strengthen the team better. I should be the leader or this should've been a trial just for one-on-one and we just find each other and kill each other and that wouldn't be fun. It would be for me all you think about is killing and fighting. Of course, I told you I beat my sister single-handedly, and then you got kicked out of your own house, don't pretend you knew everything about me I don't. I'm not pretending if we do split up his team, I'd rather be with Ash than you have fine.

then let us split up we can't it's against the rules. Miss goody-goody wanna follow the rules and we're not gonna stand here and argue. All right I'm the leader, I said.

Yay we'd rather you be the leader anyway, she's afraid little brat why would we want to scare a girl a scaredy-cat as our leader said Ava she'll get herself in trouble as soon as possible. Well, it's better than not having one at all.

Yay, you figured out who will be the leader

good job

thanks, I guess I said looking down at the watch OK now we got that out of the way. I said now that I have established that we let me be a leader I know what most of your magic is I have none, so do you have anything past awkward us no unfortunately, I want to make my magic stronger though that's why I joined a guilt the opposite guild. Well, it's still a guild then this brainy I have lightning magic obviously of course I noticed that, but the way you paralyzed – with it she said if I hadn't stepped in, you would've killed Dash before the trials even began well as is annoying don't fall for this right now. What do we do next we need to pick a tunnel I said we need to pick a tunnel and go down and find our way out. That's the whole point. it's like a maze you're right it is like a maze, I need to be careful not to run into some basil or the acid spiders. She said that would not be good.

should we go down the windy tunnel or the non-windy tunnel? You're the leader pig I think we're gonna go down the non-Windy tunnel the wind tunnel is not really that safe. I don't think I said the winds look dangerous, not windy tunnel it is said, Raven.

I want to apologize about what Raven and I were talking to one another about not being the most brave I said I'm always scared. Maybe I shouldn't be a leader don't say that I'm always the damsel in distress. I shouldn't be the leader maybe you should don't worry if you can't handle being leader, maybe we'll find someone else yeah me, said Ava, I'm the strongest I'm oldest I should be in charge. I have a sword I can cut through anything I can cut through that beast night no problem.

you may think you're all that but you are probably just a big coward yourself don't you dare call me a coward Raven you don't know anything about me either said Raven I'm glad we're not in the same guild you and me but I wish Ash was in my guild. Yeah right, you and what someone is annoying is her in your guild with you, I don't think she's annoying. She's sweet yeah OK.

I'll talk to you soon I said to the watch we have walking to do I'll talk to you soon. I close the Watch and put it in my pocket as we continue to walk.

The tunnels were dark and creepy, but there were glow stones, but it was still terrifying The tunnels were dark, and musky glow stones lined the walls. Oh no, I said as my foot got caught in something Asher are you OK Raven rest to me and used her magic Aus. It was a web for an acid. Spider thanks you're welcome you almost got caught in an acid spider's web. Oh, that would've been funny. Said Ava not funny, I started to cry it's OK to see she shouldn't be our leader. She's a crybaby crybaby shouldn't be leaders. Not her fault now let's go.

and yeah and me and people like you shouldn't be leaders either you are the one who's making Ash cry it's fun to make her cry she wants towards me. I know you're I know that you were slapped before, so I'll slap you again. She hit me twice just like my sister there, I started to cry again worthless crybaby is what you are aren't you trembled I was afraid now please stop, said Raven we shall not fight ourselves, but if we must we must not fight another voice said, I recognized that voice. It wasn't Robert's voice, but it was Evan Evan's voice he wasn't on our team initially but I ran to him. It was my child my playmate Evan Ash he said wrapping me up and a hug. Are you OK my sweet darling my sweet little child playmate are you OK Evan? I'm so glad to see you. I'm glad to see you too. Have you seen Robert? I asked not lately he said, I hope he's OK too. He said having me tightly now you have a prince charming. This is so disgusting to me Ava Crane I hate when you call me that and tell me AC you don't deserve that we're not friends good I'm glad we're not friends I'm just on this horrible team just because she said.

and who's our leader you're not joining our team said Ava I'm not asking you he said can I join please I got separated. Of course, I said taking his hand. I'd love to have you on my team with me. Besides, you're my only companion oh well in Raven Raven nice to see you. Nice to see you too Evan I've it's been a while, and who is our leader's ashes? I shouldn't be a leader not because I don't want us to be our leader, but because Ash has no magic to keep us safe I should be the leader, not this again I am an actual prince by the way, I should be able to be the leader I agree I said Evan will be by our new leader.

now we have another goodie who is our leader. This is ridiculous why I do not wanna be part of this team anymore you don't have a choice if you're gonna let anyone and everyone be on our team then I should just leave she said consider me not part of the team you have to be on the team Ava no Raven I'm not gonna be on this team anymore. I don't care what the paper says I'm on my own you'll never find your way out on your own I can, I'm a survivor list OK let us know how you do on your own. Raven says sarcastically fine I will don't come to crawl into us. If you ever get stuck in a web of one of the acid spiders or trapped by Vasilis I won't make that mistake it'll be you that will be the rest of you. That will be done that way she says goodbye former team bye.

I can't believe she just walked out said Raven I can say Evan she's evil and well dangerous on her own. She'll be she'll kill every true team and she'll lose she doesn't care about that. That's true even though she's a copper-level mage do you think she might double-cross us? I don't know said Raven what do you think don't ask me I said I'm still scared of her. She tried to kill me of course let's stay on our toes, shall we? I think the best thing to do is to stay on our toes and stay alert look what you see a basilisk two basilisk how are we gonna go around them? You have water magic I do but attacking basis when they're not harming us is not a good idea I'm scared I said, don't worry Evan said rabbit, his arms around my shoulders will get through this sides, my brother would kill me if you died, I mean he wouldn't kill me but he would he might he might consider it would you want me to die? I asked you like a sister to me he said petting me on the head sides usually people say that when they don't have a good sister and Jacqueline is a nice person I know he said.

I think we should just go around them. I'm too scared they'll be attracted to my fear I'll carry you if that Hass to be. Evan said no. I think we have a plan. We will go around the basilisks sounds good.

Acid spiders I said looking over at a web be careful don't step in it. Evan said trying to guide my hand but a bowl of electricity hit me and pushed me into the web. Ava double-crossed her. She already left our team. What is she up to visit us she said, pushing me into the web with her lightning magic and drawing her sword you're not gonna, I am this Brad has lived too long Magus dart blast. Evan says as he ravens up his magic and hits Ava before the sword can pierce me, but it does my body and blood come out emulating depleted a bit. It was a lot of blood too. We need to make us. We need to make a tourniquet for my manager's injury and we need to get you out of this thing before the spiders. Give you a hard time I have an idea Raven said. I have something I could use that we could use as a tourniquet. She took something out of her bag found the injury and wrapped it around it. It might still the bleeding for a bit until we can get out of here what was injured? It's hard to tell your whole body looks injured, but I can't wrap your whole body in a tourniquet. We can't carry you for one you're heavy. I drank an aura potion that does a little better I said, and my aura is back at least oh that's a plus we'll have to keep an eye on Ava to see if she does anything else.

you mean like betray the team yeah exactly betray us believe me I want to betray you. She said I was forced to be on this team she said I'll figure out a way to leave this team soon enough there are enough people on this team now.

I get you're not a team player. Evan says looking at her. No Ava said whoa. Raven said there's tension. Yeah, I said to her lots of tension. It's not good either. It's OK we're here for you. You know that not sending next to my new friend. good you can always come visit me in the garden Raven smiled. If we can get out of here you can visit me in the gardens, that would be lovely. I'd love to meet your grandmother and your friends she said and I'd love for you to come to visit my homeland that would be nice too.

then settled we will schedule that if we ever get out of these trials alive there are probably more traps though. Yeah, I just figured as much between the basil and the acid spiders don't worry.

We'll make it if we work together what kind of speech is that Ava said working together is for weak people just like me I can't say anything I said just say it Ava said just like your sister that's what I was about to say yeah OK your sister will be at mine Whoa whoa, that's a little harsh Raven said it's true. There's no worm in the world for someone as weak as Opal she said or the week is the rest of you is right.

now we need to rely on each other to get out of here. Evan said if the only way we can get out of these trials alive I don't have anything to do with this team anymore. She said walking away even if it means that I am on this team by paper doesn't mean that I'm on this team, I don't wanna be forced to work with you either of you any of you weaklings the spider is looking at us I said scared don't worry Evan said taking my hand and Raven taking my other. We will leave fine. I'm leaving too but I'm going the opposite direction, she said, don't yell at us if you get into any trouble, I believe me, I won't bite let's go we have a trial to beat and trials to survive said Raven yes Evan said, and we have a little kid to protect. Yes, Raven said sign but not in a bad way.

no, there's gonna be a quicker way basilisk I said be careful we know Raven said we'll get around it. Somehow the quickest way is to walk around it. Evan said I agree, but what do we do with Ash? Should we? Yes, Evan said picking me up not because I was slow, but because of my fear.

And I was still injured. I can walk I said protesting no I've said. I'll wait for a while before you can walk you're too badly injured. Evan is right you're too injured to walk right now.

don't be stubborn

right you're right I said you're right I shouldn't be stubborn

good so let them carry you

OK

what did your friend on the Watch say We're OK if you carry me like I said before Evan said brother would kill me. If anything happened to you cradle me. We walked more past the basil at least the first time we didn't want to have a battle with the basis right now, if they did try to attack Raven used her water magic to make a barrier there was a wall of water I don't know if it. I don't know if they can break through that wall of water though yuck. Did we just step in the you just disgusting Raven said what is I think we just stepped in the cushion that Miss makes when they're in heat. Remember, it is basil breeding season smells awful like rotten meat I said it smells awful.

if you feel like throwing up Ash, I have a bag for you to throw up in. Thanks, I said to Raven you're a real good friend we didn't make it too far until the basis attacked though I think they were provoked too because our traitor Ava provoked them, she said, provoking one of the bases behind us to attack.

Watch out behind you

oh no, the best is pursuing us. We didn't do anything Evan said run where to the lake right run to the lake got it.

To the lake run can I at least try to fight her and give it a shot Raven right here I go quit us a wall of water came around out of her hand. Awkward is Magnus's water. She said a giant wall of water came and hit him in the face. Oh, you have provoked me this time visits, she said with Magnus, shockwave, water, ducks, electricity i'm not stupid, said Raven I know what water and electricity do together I was hoping it would shock you it didn't she said, drawing her sword and running at Raven Aquarius, she said again dodging the sword. Should we be fighting each other? I asked yes Ava said because you're a little brat of a child we better off if you're not here with us now now that's enough Evan said Urus Amrit he said again.

you think your dark magic can stop me you should stop I'm not even part of the team anymore she said so what's the point the point is you should just stay out of our way so we can get through these trials you're a problem you know that you're the problem you hear that you've woken up the basis with your yelling you woke them up yeah OK don't you hear that I said worried yeah I do we need to deal with the Vasilis now all are yelling has woke them up let's get into a battle stance.

I'm scared don't worry Raven said yeah Evan said keeping me close to them. It's OK if you don't look into their eyes you'll be fine. OK, I said staying to the side. I hope things turn out fine. I wish I had magic to help in times like this, I hope I wish that I did, I'm so useless that's an understatement said Ava aren't you gonna deal with the basis too? No, I'm gonna watch you struggle with them. It'll be more fun for me.

so it is true you are a little monster well someone has to be one Ava says and I'm not gonna help so you're on your own remember I betrayed you guys, so I'm not gonna be helping she stumps off probably to set up another trap we need to do with this first before we go deal with Ava again said Evan agreed Raven said sides look at as she looks terrified. All right let's do this.

listed in front of me as they decided to figure out how to deal with the basis to keep the basis for me from staring at them I did not wanna be petrified to stone or even have my movement slow and hindered. Be careful my new friends, I said. New and old friends I should say I didn't mean to say new friends it's fine Raven said one of us is your new friend and the other one is your old friend.

Plus, you have your friend on the watch. Yes, I do have my friend on the watch. We need you soon probably I said to the Watch holding it close to me will you be there? I need you to revive me.

Of course, I will be there for you don't worry I will always be there for you Whenever you need me I will be there for you. Don't worry.

OK, I believe you I said I knew you wouldn't leave me. I clutch the watch close as my breathing sped up worrying about my old and new friend fighting these basil and upset that I can't help.

I'm so in the way of everything I screw things up only new magic you're not in the way, Raven said, and she put her hand on my shoulder you don't screw anything up. You just don't know magic OK and that's not a shameful thing. It is in this world I said survival everything and knowing magic is everything to protect yourself it's not your fault you're a fluke with magic.

there could be something wrong with why you can't cast any magic but you can run and when we tell you to run run but my injuries I know, but run anyway OK run as fast as you can as fast as your legs can carry you, but what about you too? We'll take care of ourselves you run and Hyde do as Raven says Evan said holding me in an embrace for a moment I hugged my friends and ran and hit behind a rock. OK good luck, I said.

in the miss of the fighting, I heard another few voices from another team perhaps I didn't wave at them yet, but they saw the struggling of struggling of Evan and Raven fighting against the bassist, and they jumped in and helped thanks we almost needed help here it looked like it set of female voice almost didn't come in time set another voice yeah, another male voice said they were to one male and one female voice behind another female voice I couldn't see their faces this doesn't look good. These bachelors are strong.

what happened with Ava? The other boys asked if she betrayed us. Evan said wow that was quick. We didn't expect her to last long on a team.

Looks like you have more help

It looks like it said, ping the watch more help the best I guess I calm down for a moment and watch the bloody awful fight. Then no I thought as I ran into the fight fray Ash, what are you doing? Ra called you're gonna get yourself killed the basis petrify you to stone if you were too late. I already looked into the eyes and couldn't move. My body slowed down as I felt my body changing to stone no no Evan look oh no he's gonna kill me. If this happens she can't be.

she's turned to stone the other team that was there, cried as well. I felt my body change and I couldn't speak anymore.

Oh no

what do we do? Raven said there's gotta be a way to reverse this spell. No winter petrified stone. It's difficult to change back. Evan said the watch Raven picked it up and put it in her pocket for a moment. OK, at least this is safe. Oh no what are you looking at at the same female voice earlier, what do you think happened?

she's been turned to stone, another female voice named Adalyn there's gotta be a way to reverse it. There isn't this is it her amulet it's broken.

Over in the corner, laughter rang. It was Ava oh look, the fearful, fearful, fearless hero who had been turned to stone who jumped right in front of their teammates to save their their team. How heroic I watched Mighty Ashes now stone she said laughing I couldn't have done it better myself.

You monster now is up to us to fight you and hold the point. The whole point of this trial is for surviving Saint Connie but this can't be a tragic end. We need to do something.

not even an aura potion can help we need to try something else to watch. What is going on here teammate is dead Ava is dead dead dead. The annoying one is dead.

I do admit, that Ava said she makes it a beautiful statue. It was you who pushed her in the way didn't you know she ran in there to help you and then she turned to stone I couldn't done it any better myself even if I had pushed her.

Now getting rid of the rest of you will be a piece of cake. I want to finish these trials and have time to go have dinner so let's get this over with.

Visits, Magnus Rocksville, and makes a tunnel trapping everyone inside everyone that was in was trapped. They were panicking now what do we do? What do we do? We need to figure out something to do now I can't believe she did this. I don't even know if my water magic can break this rock, I do have some magic that could help but it might be too powerful but we need to wait yes we need to wait a minute why there's nothing there's something special about this watch it's no ordinary watch Raven said looking over the watch.

ash has been turned to stone and is now dead

turn back time

The stone began to crack. I started to come out of it. I shook myself. The Vassilis were dead. Now I shook myself as the last bit of stone fell off of me. Raven handed me back my watch. Here you go this belongs to you now we need to find a way out, what's wrong I asked why are y'all looking at me so funny you're alive Evan said hugging me you gave us a scare if you hadn't come back, I would've been a dead man why I asked you know why my brother would kill me if anything happened to you we have Ash back now. What one Connie says we need to figure out how to get out of here, we can't let her get ahead of us how gravitas we're trapped behind these big rocks got any ideas I have wind and earth magic say Connie I might be able to break the rock with my magic maybe but I'll have to try. Let's see when would not be the best option so I'm gonna try and use Earth.

gravitas I have a test Magnus she said as the rocks broke apart, and a hole fell through all right now we can break through these now we can run for it. Good job Connie thank you she said let's go.

Is there a faster way? No, we have to run Connie said all right then Evan said picking me up Ash can't run I mean Ash could run but if injured I get it and then I'll shake up from being turned to stone. All right let's go.

A disaster has broken through people who were struck by lightning blades along the ground. I saw them too not just the little new team that I had formed, but everyone in our group saw the mess lightning had torn some of these people apart into pieces and Ava had destroyed them.

we went past the group of bases I mean a group of majors that we couldn't help who were already dead somewhere petrified by stone somewhere killed by lightning magic. Ava's lightning magic, but as we went forward more and more bodies, were being petrified to stone and more and more people were being torn apart by the lightning, once we made it to the end of the tunnel though we saw her Ava well you finally made it this far she said I didn't think you would make it out of that cave alive. She left easily if you handed over the kid and I took care of her you wouldn't have to deal with her and you could just get through these trials. Why would we hand her over? Why do we hand it to you, it'll make things easier. She said no he said cradling me I'm not giving her to you well then Levitas Lotus Magnus petrifying wind said Connie oh, you think you're magic can deal with me she said.

somehow, because of all the pain and everything I fell asleep, and in Evan's arms for a moment I was being cradled for a moment being asleep I couldn't cast any magic right now. Why not Raven asked oh, I get it my turn, though I need to teach this lightning girl a lesson, she said awkwardly Magnus water wall. She said a powerful wall of magic water formed and hit and hit Ava backward to visit us. She said as she used her magic, she shocked herself and saw water, conducts, and electricity, Raven mocked oh, you little she drew her sword and charged it at Raven.

Aquarius, she said fling the spell back, not the spell, but the sword visit Magnus lightning weapon sword flew out of her hand. Aquarius Millar, Magnus called Raven ice wall as the sword came near. It didn't dent the sword, but it also didn't penetrate the wall of ice either, oh you OK that's it I can't get through the wall yet but eventually that wall will break your timing because here comes more of those spider things she said, but I'm not gonna deal with those. I have a better idea.

I hope everyone will be OK

I hope so too I said as I gripped the watch and heard the message from you from my counterpart from the other side, please please I pray that everyone will be OK I need to put you down for a moment. I heard Evan say he sent me up against a rock. I need to fight some you'll be OK but I need to join in and some of this fighting once the wall dissipates.

Ava came at the wall again pier this time the wall broke your shield is broken. Now I can attack no Urus madness dark blast. He says Evan said he pulled his dark magic and hit Ava backward. Dark magic well OK then all right you all are very strong I give that to you, she said, but I have one more trick up my sleeve. She was strong, strong for a girl who was supposed to be only a copper-level mage visiting summers she said, lightning pole, a pole of electricity came down informed in her hand now I can hit you with it she said coming at me I was sitting in the fenceless, no Ambus Magnus he said I heard Evan say you think that will stop me. The electricity didn't hit me. It hit the dark spell. Well that was nothing to you yo were not hurt again I wish I could kill you right here and now then, why don't you because I'm not going to do that during these trials well I will kill you though eventually if we ever get out of here you're dead fine we'll fight said Ava later the first I want to kill most of you.

starting with the Muffy, she said, as she pointed at me, no awkwardness and Raven, Aus Mill, or madness water shield. Oh, you think that shield of water. I shocked her with this as soon as she shot her magic though I did know my body was paralyzed for a moment, you'll pay for this oh I don't think so. You're the one who's going to pay these trials are not about fighting each other said Connie it's about survival. Yeah, I know that said Ava you don't need to remind me.

I will survive and you won't none of you will I'll pick you all off one by one that will be so much fun. I wish I had my muff doll I thought or better yet. I wish Mary was here baby still have toys that Ava you're 16 you shouldn't have toys I have one more trick and if you don't survive this then there's your heart of steel she said what is she thinking? Does she have a no she does she can't have an optimist level spell already so young and being a copper, I practiced said Ava I've worked up my magic to Altimus she said, and the youngest person that you would ever know that would have this level of a spell I'm not 16 though she said I'm 19 or so so it doesn't matter as visits Optimus lightning hand a lightning hand went out and grabbed me. I started to feel electricity, running through my body, paralyzing me almost felt my heart stop my breathing sped up again, but I couldn't fight off the electricity. No Evan tried to jump in, but the hand pushed him away Aquarius Raven, but a big light of ball of light stopped her. What is going on I do not use my powers they'll be destructive, so Connie we can do is watch.

The team watched and whore as my Bonnie lit up my hair, stuck up on end. I shook uncontrollably as electricity ran through my body or emulate, went crazy, and turned red or a potion. I grab one and put it to my lips when it didn't do any good your potions cannot save you now and I don't even think the watch can save you. She said no I don't think so. I don't think the watch can save you. I remember what grandmother told me the watch can bring me back from any kind of premature death anything the only thing I can't come back from is if my counterpart decides not to revive me please I called my counterpart my friend please save me from this

I asked Ava why do you wanted to kill me which wasn't an obvious one. You're a brat and two she said whispering up into my ear just like my sister did that day on the mountain because your sister told me too she told me to kill you my body is numbed, she told me that you shall die and then I'll bring her the watch that you don't deserve anything in this world not even love or anyone to care about you and of course, I agreed to carry out to be the assassin to kill you. She said, as soon as I wake you with my lightning hand, I will stab you I'm not gonna kill you with the lightning magic.

and I prevented your friends from trying to save you. You can't block the watch I said, though no I can't if the watch decides to bring you back then, so be it I'll find another way to kill you my friend started to cry as my body turned blue from lack of air. I couldn't breathe done I only needed to choke you a bit now she said drawing her sword where is the perfect time to strike now that your body is weak how about your heart your head it would be too easy and I can't just chop your head off I know I know it's gonna be painful my dear, but it's gonna be hurtful if you stay alive to draw the sword into me I felt my body stopped moving as I collapsed onto the ground dead she said done now I can go or maybe I should wait a minute. Ava said the others were crying you weaklings maybe I should kill all of you next no Ava no Ava, Evan said getting his feet numbly you've gone too far.

what I have carried out my mission no Ash, our little rain of sunshine to Raven as she brought me up into her arms. No, don't leave us please she's dead said Ava she won't be able to talk back. I made sure that I'm gonna kill you said Ava Evan, oh yeah you think you can oh I can he said I just never tried you have to try to kill me is she gonna be OK? Connie asked I don't think so Raven said taking my cold-like ice hands into her own her body and face were blue and revival magic was forbidden. Of course it is Connie said, the worst thing about it is Evan said Robert isn't here to say goodbye.

ashes dead again

turn back time

I started to stir as I felt the magic. Evan felt me move as well. My eyes opened. He looked down into my violet eyes. You're awake long live Evelyn you're alive he said Evelyn I said you need to regain your strength here through this I found an aura potion be brought to my lips, and my amulet went back to glowing again. it was glowing green once again, but my body was still paralyzed.

The watch worked. I'm so amazed I'm not gonna be dead by your friend after all why would he kill you? I said slowly because of your death he loves you. You know I know slowly thinking about my prince charming is he OK? I don't know Evan said we'll get out of these trials and you can go check on him. I can't go to Black of course not, first of all, I'll have to take you to the gardens. He said asking if we could get out of here alive again, kissing my forehead he said rest now.

I'm ready to fight you Ava oh really Ava says you think you were ready to fight me in this emotional state you're in Evan yes Ava you've gone too far OK then she said they fought hard all of them again now that she's alive now that Ash is alive again I have to go. Where are you going? Connie asked like you'd want to know, and she ran off to go build another trap one that I could probably never escape from once again.

that watch Ava thought she ran away that watch can bring her back from almost everything to think of a really good death. Now she thought she had run away. What do we do now? Raven said we need to wait. We need to sit here and wait for her to wake back up I told her to rest of course her body needs to rest too bad it's not comfortable, I know let's see Connie though I know I can make it comfortable for her for a moment. Gravitas Magnus leaf bed a bit of leaves were made with help. They put me on it that way she'll be a little more comfortable.

I slept for a while I felt good to sleep my body needed rest for one. I've been through a lot today and I haven't slept any. All my new friends stood and sat around me as I slept they chatted in Mum, Mom, Mom, Mum, amongst themselves, the watch lay beside me, this was getting out of hand. Evan said we need to kill Ava because she's stronger than us and Raven we need to figure out something. Connie says that my little team and I are not that strong you know and you all are it's hard. Evan said she can't use magic to defend themselves then if Ash can't use magic to defend themselves then we're screwed, she'll just act will just slow us down. I don't care about that. Evan says keeping Ashli alive is the most important thing I know that Connie said what are we supposed to do?

right now Raven says we need to sit and wait we need to let Ash heal. I'm not a healer and neither are the rest of us so we need to sit and wait and that's what they did. They sat and waited till I could get better I wasn't dead obviously, but I was weak, injured tired, all I wanna do was crawl into my bed in the gardens and go to sleep. I want to rest in the gardens that's what I was thinking about I dreamt about it Home with Evelyn and my grandmother and my friends, the twinkle roses and bloom. Robert and I watched the fireflies, Robert and I dancing amongst them picking them up and trolling with them. Robert holding me telling me that he cares and loves me. I love you you know that and what way I would ask romantically I don't know yet he said, but I do care about you, my sweet friend and I would not forgive myself. If you were dead, you go those trials in a few months be careful OK if it was up to me, I wouldn't be in these trials. I can't defend myself without magic. I'm useless you know you'll find a way. what if I can't and I come out dead then what you have the watch he said.

you have to watch believe that the watch can bring you back from the dead believe your counterpart can save you. I'm sick of being well, the helpless one why can't I just don't think that Robert said in my dream don't think like that you're a dime pressed.

You have your grandmother's strength, use that strength how can I close and kiss my forehead even if you fall in love with someone else one day remember that I still love you and I saved you for a reason remember that holding his hand, tighten mine and let go now Don't go I have to or your sister would be suspicious but remember you're never alone even if you feel like it doesn't worry I'll always be there for you.

I woke up eventually in a nice warm bed that was made of leaves in a cave. I forgot we were still in the Trimble caves. The spell was off or she canceled it as I woke up feeling better. Connie said helping me up. Yes, I'm fine now good can you walk I think so, with some support of course I needed to walk anyway I can't be carried all the time. Evan even agreed. Of course, Ash does need to try to walk but she can lean on us. Yes, that would work. I believe I believe that can work she propped her up next prompt. They propped me up against Evan and Raven, Connie, and her team followed behind us. Connie was in front, and the rest of the team was behind us as we traveled through the tunnels.

do you think I'm done trying to kill you said Ava peering behind the boulder with her strength she pinned me between the two and squished me in using her lightning magic. She closed the deal selling me off no Evan said pounding on the barrier we brought her back from one death. Please don't kill her again, she survived that one. She won't survive this one the watch can only bring her back so many times.

all right, then we're gonna kill you now I would like to see you try she said you all beat up and tired. There's no way you can defeat me now the walls came in closer as they squished me in I was pinned between the two big rock pillars and I felt my body being squished with what strength I had. I handed the watch to Evan to get this back to Grandmother you'll make it he said believe in your counterpart and you in your watch. That's what Robert says I said weekly Robert you need to live for him said Evan you need to live so you can see him again I don't think I will. It was squishing me closer to death die brat today you die I felt the squishiness visit visit Altimus she said again as the lightning squeezed the two pillars together.

I guess you're just at the sit-and-watch now she said you're staying too. Oh fine I'll stay to see if she gets revived for Ava but I don't think she will not this time.

I believe my breathing slowed as I felt squished I couldn't move being pinned by the rocks. My body felt flushed and smashed in.

I felt my breathing slow down completely, and leave my body. I was down again.

Turn back time

The magic was faster this time as I woke up from the squish Ava was mad again when the counterpart brought her back again fine she ran off next time you won't be so lucky. We're almost to the end of these trials and you're both all exhausted, you won't be able to save her again not even the human still has enough strength and she ran off. I will kill her Evan said, but I will kill her after the trials. That's a good idea send Raven let's go kill her now. wait even though ashes brought back ashes, struggling to breathe, not to stand, I can walk I said don't protest I'm going to walk as said I said as I pushed myself up to stand I dropped a potion I got started moving my limbs now I can move now I can walk now. Be careful. I'll be careful I said, as I moved my limbs.

I stood up and moved. I could walk, but slowly, still, being, leaned up and protected by my friends, as we wanted like we did before through the tunnel slowly, but we were ambushed. Once again once we got to the near end of the tunnels, there was an acid spider nest, not a basil nest watch out stepping around. Connie stepped around the nest for acid spiders, and my friends cautiously, but I tripped because I was so weak and didn't notice the spiderweb. I stepped into it, my feet, tangling in the mess.

oh look, Ava said dinner for the acid spiders dinner has a ride for them. She said now they'll have their delicious dinner. I struggle to move. I couldn't get out as the ass spider's web tangled around my legs no one ever said trying to reach into the web, but couldn't even touch it. He didn't get stuck himself because he didn't because Raven pulled him back. Don't Raven said No end up on the web too I don't care, he said, I die in her place if I would if she dies her brother, my brother will kill me for it. Why don't you go I'm not going in that spider pit she said spiders are terrifying and spiders are the worst they spit acid on their victims until they partially dissolve before consuming them Evans's face with pale no please don't let this happen to Ash please this is the worst death in all of them almost that almost happened earlier I know I even said she used her water to try and break the web again, but no use you can't break it this time said Ava it upset the spiders this time who were hungry I struggled. I couldn't get free one big spider looked at slips.

One big spider slowly moves close to me. I tried to move, but I couldn't help. I called help please help even the watch was stuck help me we have to help we can't. We can't break this one I could take Connie she tried quietly with her weapons she didn't just have magic. She had some good weapons, but the web was strong acid spiderwebs can be very strong depending on the web the ones all fought before were small. Their webs were easy to break, but this is a giant spider now.

with a giant appetite, that's right, said Ava Coley with a coldness to her voice. There will be no way she'll get out of they'll get out of this one will you, my dear Ava said touching me. She could touch the web without being harmed. It won't be long. Struggling is futile the harder you struggle the more stuck you get if you stop struggling it'll be fine. It'll be all over soon even though it'll be a slow painful death. It'll still be over quickly if you don't struggle too much.

here spider's your lovely dinner a perfectly scrumptious person. The spider lifted its lips again as it leaned over me it started spitting the acid. I felt my body dissolving. As I felt it, the spider crawled closer, hunger, screeching, screeching I felt my body being broken down as the spider acid dripped on me stop struggling I told you the more you struggle, the harder I didn't care to be a good little girl and stay steel. Let the spider have its dinner happily knowing it had something delicious, but I wasn't gonna be it delicious dinner Stop struggling before the spider could finish me and finish the acid. It jumped in whoever it was in between me and the spider finishing jaws the watch wasn't gone the watch broke free and rolled across the floor and my friends grabbed it. this is it the watch will turn back time again, but then they heard a female voice call Ava it was her sister's voice. It's too late sister visited Altimus before she could get out of the spell she was gone backwards Opal are you OK?

The question I should be asking are you all OK? We're fine head guild, master good I want to try and cut this stuff don't Connie said please don't it'll make things worse that's right sister Eva you will not kill Ash this day I will I will kill her no, I'll die in her place and it's me. You want Dad not her headmaster what are you don't worry I'm not gonna die...

I couldn't fight back a few more figures appeared my mother and my sister didn't appear, but I did see some other figures. Brittany used some kind of spell but it was futile. Then I saw her Ignace or we didn't call her Agnes because she was so sweet but Susan I can break that web. She said I wanna see you try said Ava, the spiders are afraid of fire in Sydney toss. The web broke and I fell out. I am still covered in the acid though I'll clean that or even say aw I was clean the acid was cleaned away. My body was cleaned of the acid. Spider retreated.

Good riddance the spider has retreated. It is gone now that's good but now we have to get out of here and that is gonna be difficult. no, we're gonna leave you for the rest of the trap through Saint Opal but we're taking Ava with us. we won't let her ruin the rest of your travel through. you should be able to finish the rest of the trials. I haven't finished my job yet. Ava complains shut up Ava you will not kill her now or ever you will not kill Ash. we don't have far to go because there's the exit.

you're right we don't need to go very far. Had Gil master crane, said Raven because there it is you won't make it through. What about Ash is not part of our guild. You should carry Ash out and by the way, I will not give out promotions right now and I can't promote Ash because Ash isn't part of my grill but for bravery, I will rank some of you.

The other guild master showed up my sister was also there because she was the headmaster of my guild protected by two of the opposite guilds of my team. She was angry to see me protected between the two of them, as scaled at Ava for not completing her task I looked scared at my sister. She walked up to me. You were a little brat, oh I thought you better not have said Opal you will not hit your sister, but it was too late smacked right into the two cheeks again got into my ear once again as we did on the mountain, and said I was a hopeless little brat and I was being kicked out of my guild I wanted to say the word that feared everyone but I didn't want to say in front of every one give me the watch she said again never I said clutching the watch to my heart the watch save me several times today and yet your emulate didn't stay green the whole time that's why I'm kicking you out of the guild. Why I asked I wasn't even part of this skill in the first place you kidnapped me from the guild I was supposed to been in.

I know she said laughing because I wanted to trap you in my guild. I wanted you to suffer and then I was gonna kill you several times I tried to kill you. I had my own man kill you and then if that and that didn't work, I decided to try and kill you on the mountain top, but that didn't work either with the meteors and then, she said well then it was this I set up Ava so that you could die. Everyone was shocked Ava wasn't but everyone else was Opal was angry so you kidnapped my my guilty just so you could kill her that's exactly right opal she said.

and I would've gotten away with it, but these kids had to get in their way of saving her I will kill Ash one day I will succeed. You won't opal said drawing me close to her as I trembled to worry sweetheart she will not kill you I'll make sure of that.

is that a promise it is to Opal I promise you, Lucy, that I will not let you hurt your sibling ever again. What can you do? She's part of my guild I have the right to discipline her and I demote her I let her kill her, not kill her, but kick her out of the guild. Then she's mine now, because she never was yours you know what just for that I'll keep her but demote her not demote her but not promote her either. That's just Brittany cut her off you have promotions for the rest of your of course I've already saved most of the ones who have been rescued, but yes, I need to do some promotions don't I and for survival and greatness, she said, shelter me behind her even though I wasn't part of her guild from my sister, she had me over to Evan you take care of her of course, Evan said trampled. Don't worry your sister will never harm you again I will make sure that you will never be harmed by her again.

we'll see about that said Lucy I will get my revenge and I will get my hands on my sibling. Eventually, you won't we'll see.

I'll make sure you won't say Susan you just had to interfere with the killing said Lucy from another guild and that is against the rules not really because if it was then would be punished by it besides, we can combine forces for this particular trials even though we're not supposed to because we're enemies, of course, we're enemies I don't reason why we had to agree to combine these trials in the Trimble caves from now on. We are in a guild, of course, said Opal, but in a good way whatever and we will take Ash back soon, won't ashes mine said Lucy she is my sister my sibling. I should have the privilege of her living with me, no yes she'll stay in Timecrest but never get promoted or never get anything handed to her. She'll always stay a copper-leveled mage forever.

ha ha ha ha what do you think she said to her partner I agree send Peter ashes hours you can't have her back opal I will win her back. Opal said no will kill her before that happens an open threat opal said yes it is.

He won't harm Ash anymore not even if Welhouse froze over and melted several different times. Oh, we'll see.

Yeah, we won't let you get away with this said Connie and the rest of her team as well. What do you know Connie Stone said Lucy why now I know you're retired Aunt, Lucy Timecrest a brat who just doesn't know how to not want to always get her away, how dare you send Lucy we don't even call you Kronos because it's not worthy of you well you will for now on she said because that's who I am you know no you're an evil dictator and you're just a brat. She said all of you, who are not beneath me to scare Lucy she made sure the others covered their ears, but she said Norf and Lucy tremble in fear. Where is Abar where there is no real Budnar I just scared you with the word Norf she said no run back up to black ion before I summon the ARF.

Lucy left, but the others held onto each other for a moment to let the evil pass Oppland me out of the out of the Trimble caves. We should take her back to her grandmother for now yes of course Evan said I'll do that of course cause you can get into the gardens, said Opal, you're not expecting us to be back before dinner or nightfall no take as long as you need even though there's a curfew as long as you're back before it gets too dark. Yes ma'am.

we returned back and to the gardens instead of returning to the guild because I didn't want to return there. Evan wanted me in grandmother, and Evelyn were there, and they fussed over me. You took care of her. Yes, ma'am, he said yes mother she said Jane and Jane won by, and wondered the same thing, good she'll need to stay here and rest a while. She'll need to cooperate for a few days take her to her old room please yes, he helped guide me to my old room which was still my room. I need to rest now of course in the watch I took the charger out in the watch and it's charging. Thank you. It had a lot of work today and your amulet is glowing green but you probably need to rest. I'll get some good night's sleep we're staying the night or I'm staying the night here in the gardens tonight. I told Opal that I'm not returning to the guild tonight and Raven Raven returned but I'm gonna stay here. Evan said I have a room here and besides I need to spend some time with my family, yeah that sounds good. How do you think Roberts doing? I don't know he probably got heavily punished. That's what I'm afraid of.

don't worry, your face will wrinkle if you do too much worrying just get some rest thanks you need it after the lamb battles that we've had today in the trials you need the rest more than any of us even though I wasn't the leader no I'm your leader you're still the leader, even though I'm not in the same guild as you well get some rest. OK sleep well maybe Robert will visit you in the morning I hope so.

I took out the watch. It was charging beside me, but I opened it for a moment. Good night I said to the human to my counterpart on the other side rest well wherever you are.

Good night Ash, sleep well you'll need that rest like your friend said, and don't worry I will always have your back no matter what your sister cannot hurt me. She cannot hurt you unless she tries. It would take a lot of effort to kill you.

Thank you good night and with that,e I close the watch put it beside me on my bed stand, and let it charge for the moment. I even spend a few weeks in the gardens like this not asleep obviously but just in peace but now I'll sleep and tell you about my adventures later, maybe I don't know if they're exciting I don't know. Good night anyway.

all right, this is where I'm ending this chapter it's not completely a quick end, but is a good end a sweet end to this chapter the beginning of it wasn't a suit so the ending Hass to be just a sweet doesn't you think and also because this is the last chapter before part two, so I had to be good. Have a good ending, I hope you enjoy this great ending and I hope you enjoy this chapter. See you later.
