6. Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I don't own Timecrest I'll rice belong to sneaky crab

or now, on the fourth fourth chapter, what do I have to miss speak all right we're in the fourth chapter. We are one chapter almost one chapter away from the fifth chapter of the final chapter of this part and then we'll start part two soon. At first, we have to do chapter 4, which is the chapter before the chapter before the trials. This is the chapter where the team is introduced, and other things like chapter 6 from the actual game except different, of course all right then. Also, we are back inside of the guild and the watch has been reactivated and fixed. It's all charged up and ready to go. I know chapter 3 was up in between chapters but you needed to have that there. It's more like a slow-down chapter with the watch being unactivated, so I hope you enjoy this chapter chapter 4 I'll be back to normal pretty much.

so let's get started

hey, I'm back in the guild I have to be in this place even though I don't want to be in the ministration chambers everyone's loyal to my sister, so that's why I don't want to be in here, but I need to get my team assignments for the trials, the trials I want to fail, but I can't I mean it's complicated. I can't completely speak my mind about everything because my sister's spies are watching every moment and Robert ain't here with me. If you're wondering where he is he's he's on ion at the moment, probably receiving his punishment to see me earlier. when he came to see me in the gardens. even though my sister could not see the garden, she knew he was missing, and seeing me that was enough for her she was angry. I wonder how much she's going to punish me for this well I don't need to worry about that right now I was glad I got to see him for a while. even if he has to be punished.

like I said, I don't like being here in the ministration chambers alone but what other choice do I have right now? I hope you're still working. Grandmother says that charging you would do the trick, so I hope you say something soon maybe you'll work stronger now that's what I hope for please say something I said, as I shook the watch my hand, please I don't wanna be alone I need you

oh Ash, are you there? Are you there?

Yes, I see your message you're back and the glow is back but everything is good in the world which is it much I get to see your message again the blue dust is back as well. It's so wonderful to see the gifts again but wait I heard your message in my head as well not just heard it, but felt it the glitter I saw just went straight to my head, this is strange why is that?

well, I don't have time to go see my grandmother about this. I'm gonna have to deal with this and figure this out on my own all right then but it's good to hear your voice again please say something else or something that'll indicate you're here I know the watch is fully charged, so I want to know.

I am here. Do not worry. I have your back always.

Yes, it worked again. Yay I'm happy you're by my side once again, even if I am alone, I'm not alone because you were here. I won't be in these trials alone tomorrow tomorrow is trials it's been a few months since I spoke to you there's a lot I want to tell you about, but I can't tell you right now because we're not free to talk I mean I'm not in a place where we can talk alone in private, even though I'd like to but there's too many in my sister spies around and she could overhear us. Maybe when the trials are over I can give you everything I could tell you everything we could leave this place and go back to the gardens and have a real chat, but not the gardens in the guild gardens do you know where grandmother lives?

like I said Roberts is being punished for coming to see me cause I'm being punished too for leaving the guild, but my punishment is the trials. I'm gonna have to be in the trials regardless, but this is also a punishment for leaving. I mean there's a strict policy on leaving the guild and I broke it sister gonna kill me for it I know she is but I don't care about that. I care about getting the watch to work again and seeing my family.

how bad is Robert's punishment and yours?

It's pretty bad my punishment is the trials, so not too much, but Roberts gonna be severely punished. I don't even think he's allowed to come down here to see me, so if I'm in any kind of danger, he won't be able to come save me. He won't be able to come to save me because of it there's no telling what sister has been doing right now. Maybe he'll sneak down here to see me soon I hope so.

he's like probably trapped up there now on the black ion. Well, I guess I shouldn't worry but I should worry I don't know. I feel trapped here in this guild now though they've up security since I left it'll be more difficult for me to leave if I need to leave, unless I screw up badly in the trials, which I know I will because I have no magic but it'll be very difficult for me to get alone with you and talk to you alone ever since we started this connection we never got a chance to speak alone in private even my roommate, safe oh, and by the way, I'm back in my old, tattered clothes. I left the Muffy cloak back in the gardens, or I took it off and I gave it to Robert and he hit it in his room. Yeah, that's it. Grandmother wanted me to leave it, but I gave it to Robert to hold onto me for me if I ever need it again as a disguise, and Mary is here, of course, so I'm a little safer if anyone comes near me she'd growl at them and I have you in my hand and my muffin doll in my pocket so I'm somewhat safe but I still feel like I'm being watched which I think I am that's why I have to be careful what I say because my sister spies are everywhere wanting to hurt me. I don't have anyone looking out for me right now but I have to speak to the administrators because they are the ones who have my teammates set up I didn't have time to set up my team, but I think my sister wants to set up my team because she wants me to be done with, but I don't think they're all up to her.

there is a group trial between our guild and arrival grilled the guild I think I was supposed to been and I think the crane guild with Opal so not all the rules are set up by my sister that's the only good thing about them, so maybe I'll have a good team somewhat I hope even though the trials are going to be in the tremble caves, I read up on the tremble caves. Basil list are terrible creatures and it's basil breeding season so that'll make things a lot worse.

Vasilis can just stare at you and they'll petrify you to stone or if you stare at them they could slow your movements but the worst they could do is petrify you to stone killing you instantly I'm pretty scared I never faced bass or anything badly. Also, there are other dangers like acid spiders and quicksand and other things it's a survival survival test to see if we can survive these dangers so we have the Dodge not only basis, but quicksand and and acid spiders. I'm terrified because I don't know how well I'll do without magic powers I have the magic I have is not useful and forbidden, so I don't know what I can do with that hold on a moment they're giving me a wave a wager thing that I need to sign to say that they're not reliable for anything that happens to me in the trials so if I die, they're not reliable for my death in that ridiculous they should be reliable anyway I had to sign this. Also, they gave me my team assignments since I couldn't find one in time because I was so busy doing other things and being in the garden for a few months.

let's just hope I have a good team and I hope I can survive this trial as well. I don't care about moving up as long as I survive is the most important thing for me.

is the most important thing in the entire guild or the entire point of living in Valencia? Like I said being a mage is not a luxury thing it's about survival if I can survive that's the most important thing so if I can do that, then, that will be great if I can survive then I could go and see my friend and save him maybe but I'm not strong enough, and I am not brave enough. I'm always getting in trouble so let's see if I can do well enough to not get in trouble.

don't worry I'll make sure you survive. Remember I can turn back time and save you. If anything happens I can save you from your being well. Whatever happens, I got your back.

I know you do thanks I know I can always count on you and I always can count on you to be there. I know you always will have my back I never have to worry about that.

So, thank you

dimension it

oh, they have my team papers and they don't look really happy about the team I have except for maybe one character one person on the team well let's see my list Messi, who is on my team let me scan it I said all right let's see here I know the reputation of most of these people so it might make it easier for me like I said, some of these don't even are in this skill, but that's OK because we are on teams of people from other gills as well as our guild because our guild is small, that's why especially for people who are in my level who are copper level mages but this is a copper trial so let's see here even if they're not a copper they're on this list which is weird to me.

Some of them I won't be able to go find and see what they're like because they're not in here. I guess I'll be meeting them at Trimble Caves all right then OK the only one in this girl that I need to be worried about that's on my team. It's in this guild is Ava well her name is AC. I already know her name though which is weird because I've seen her around the guild I guess she always gives me glares. Why do I have to have her on my team again, Ava Crane well I'll just have to deal with it. I guess she's the resident girl in the guild mean is putting it mildly. She's downright cruel.

she has the worst reputation I know she's a she because I read her actual name. She does not want to go by weird AC she wants to go by Ava. I know who she is though she's the sister of Opal Crane, who was the headmaster of the guild I was supposed to be in and that's the rival guild. We're going up against and these trials are pairing off into not going against them my sister doesn't like this idea but what are you supposed to do?

I will try and get along with her the best I can even though she's mean Eial does my best to try and get along with her. We'll probably meet in a neutral place outside the guild before we go inside Trimble caves.

And the trials are like tomorrow. They also gave me this ambulant when they gave me my team assignments. I'll figure out how this works when I get back to my room I guess.

There's some action going on someone is trespassed into the guild. I can't see who it is though. Holt administrator says Anna Gold. You were trespassing inside the guilty you shall be kicked out. You shall be dragged out of here as a prisoner as you are.

wow, a spy cool OK I need to watch this then also I need to figure out who my other teammates are or teammate Raven Minden Raven Mendenhall all right then OK that's my team I guess I is the team that no one wants because everyone was late getting their teammates and their team assignments and picking who they want well that's my fault because taking care of my sister, her bothering me and spending time in the gardens in with my grandmother and family members must've not let me have touch time to find a team these last couple of months I guess that's my punishment.

also, waiting for the watch to recharge well I guess that's that at least I can figure out how this thing works. If not, I can find one of my team well I can't find any of my teammates because Ava probably wouldn't want to help me and right now and Raven, even in this guild.

well, I guess I need to at least find one of my teammates at least Ava to see if she's any good at all, but I don't know should be on block see I think, but I have to figure out where that is Raven would be harder to find because she's not here in this guild all right then what should we do next should we watch the action?

cause it looks interesting. Who is she?

Beats me

You and me both

let's see if I can get a better angle to see here. Maybe I could see who it is a spy in the guild oh, the girls coming towards me even though the gold administrators are trying to stop her you're not going anywhere gold said grabbing her hair.

You're not going anywhere Mandy Stewart Mandy Stewart she must be somebody from from the rival guild. Probably I wonder why she's here in Timecrest anyway, interesting. Oh, I think I noticed because she's walking towards me.

As she said, running towards me, stop the gold said don't go any further. I don't care Mandy said I'm walking towards this person. If that means you have to drag me out and chains, we have to drag you out then.

She walked closer to me, the watch she said, bending down to my level and sitting down next to me it's not safe to talk I said I know she said back is there a private place to go not anymore? The gardens used to be private but they're not anymore What about the Apple courtyard it usually deserted I said, but I was cornered there too before you know you're not supposed to be in this guild right I know in my head yeah I know I was kidnapping brought here but I can't get into that detail, I said, whispering into Mandy's ear I think it's best. If you come with me we should find somewhere private to talk. What about your room my room yes of course but it's a long way from here to my room from here. I have a couple of these one for each of us she had a teleport orb, thanks I guess why don't we teleport to your room it probably be more private than here. Oh, you look like you got your team assignments great have Ava on your team? Do you know if she is a cruel-hearted cold-blooded person?

there will be a small meeting in your room tonight. We need to go now before we can why I asked there's no need to ask questions no asking questions just come OK OK I said.

Can Mary come? Of course, she is your guard woof pup after all so Mary can come to. I took Mandy's hand, so we're gonna leave the ministration chambers, but you got your team assignments and your amulet so we can go you're not needed here but what about those gold and the ministration, they'll have to catch us before they could do anything to us come on, so I'll explain things later come on here's a teleport or I took a teleport orb. Mandy took one too. We teleported into my room now we can be alone.

I need to make sure you're not an illusion because only a few people know where my room is, so can I take out my dispel ring for a moment of course the ring was not glowing so it wasn't a trick. OK, I just wanted to make sure cautious that's great the reason I know where your room is because I watch you not spy but I've watched you, what made you bronze so I get to have these awesome missions as a bronze level mage where I can do these kinds of spy missions for crane guild so you're from crane guild yes and the meeting is just the two of us and Mary but Mary is just your wolf pup so is it OK if the watch is open? I ask of course you can have the watch open. Your grandmother says you need it open as much as possible.

how do I know you're not tricking me and that you're not working for my older sister I would never work for her she is so evil I would never work for your sister Mandy says Lucy is terrible and terrifying. I work for your grandmother, not her.

OK then I can trust you then Mandy I also work for the Queen of Windsor house as well as queen white queen Rachel, oh right her course my sister would never work with someone as nice as her that's right, and her other daughter and son right of course.

how can we trust her if she says sushi says she is even though the dispel rain didn't go off

I want us to trust her, but I don't know

We'll have to see how this goes. I said looking down at the watch. Well, I guess you said something to watch must've brought something up. Send Mandy.

what did the watch tell you? It's a long message and I heard it in my head so that's just weird. Your powers are getting stronger Mandy said your powers are being a counter about being a Timecrest is getting stronger.

so here's how it's gonna go down you're going into these trials tomorrow and some of us are going to help you. Are you know but I will be on the outside but I'm not gonna tell you our full plan because that will keep you safer that way, your full plan, of course.

that's why I snuck in because I don't want you to think that we are leaving you out completely in the dark Ash doesn't want to make sure we want to make sure you have not so you can have at least a full understanding of what's going on but not the full complete understanding if that makes sense that makes sense. I said I understand what you want to do I said. good we want to try and keep you as safe as possible I can't tell you why but I will tell you this the tension between humans and nature is getting high and it's getting worse every day and every year Mandy says I'm worried that my room might be bugged. it might be probably nowhere near in. This place is safe for us to talk, but this is the only place I can think of where we can be private I wish that Robert was here with us but he's being punished on black ion for helping me, I'm worried the same might happen to you, I'm already a spy she said I'm probably in more danger than you think. Why aren't you here to rescue me and take me out of this place is not that easy I want you to trust me.

The best right now we can do is keep you safe in these trials. If you cooperate properly, we will keep you safe. Do you trust me? I nodded my head. Yes, Mandy, I trust you well because Mary trusts me don't you girl Mary let Mandy's hand, and then she looked at mine. She's the most adorable wolf pop it's too bad. Wolf puffs aren't allowed in the trials I said, who says they're not the rules didn't say you can't bring anything with you in the trials, I have to go in alone. Mostly don't worry I'll figure out how to get Eial figure figure out how to get your friend to sneak me out of the guild and back to the gardens that I will make sure of OK then?

I'll even take your Muffy cloak and I will keep it I'll take it to the gardens too so you can have it when you get to the gardens after the trials if I survive you'll survive don't worry you just need to remember one thing you need to bound your emulate to yourself why it's an aura emulate. It will track your general health in the trials.

Green means you're healthy red means you're almost depleted of energy and black and cracked means you're dead. Make sure you never get that far to that point and I think your pouch is big enough for a few of these or a potions. Yes, these will keep you keep your energy up drink them when you need them. All right then I said thank you, Mandy, you're welcome my child now it's almost bedtime for you to get ready to go to bed so you can get ready for the trials tomorrow and I need to get back to my guild before they catch me and lock me away forever ever see you again I don't know dear hopefully soon now get some rest you will need it thank you I said thank you.

and don't worry about Robert we will make sure he gets out safely. OK, then I'll get some rest. Good night good night I said to her as she teleported out of my room I guess we had a lot to prepare for men. She said I was about to say to Mary, but she already took Mary and her doggy carrier back to the gardens, well I guess I need to get rested. It's been a long day today hasn't it finding a spy who's on my side and getting my teammates for the trials even though I never went to go see them but I think there's one more thing I need to do before I go to sleep.

and that's to bind this emulate to me right here I go annex to I said at the emulate, began to glow and bind itself to me. No there is one thing done. I won't have to do that in the morning give me a gold star wait that's too prideful to think about. No don't do that.

Grandmother always says to not be that way. Well, she's always right about those kind of things.

well, I need rest all right then I will see you in the morning for the trials you know what I'm not tired yet why don't we stay up and study about the best of us first and about Trimble caves? How about that? Can we do that for a moment?

let's see, we shall not anger them or stare at them for too long. If we do, they can slow our movements or if you stare too long enough, they can petrify you to stone I don't wanna be turned to stones so we'll have to figure out how to avoid them as much as possible that's gonna be difficult being a breeding den for basis it's basis breeding season, OK I don't. It doesn't say how to avoid them though.

but I'll try my best to avoid them. I guess let's see there's gotta be more info here through this tomb I'm really scared but I know I have you with me but I'm still scared. I don't like being a damsel in distress but that's what I end up being, please don't give up on me OK?

I won't give up on you you can count on me Ash we love you or I love you. Don't worry you're in good hands with me.

I know I would be

I just want to make sure that you're not gonna leave me behind tomorrow and then I'll have the watch open the whole time that I can. I think that would be best once you think when I wonder what I should tell my teammates teammates what you are to me should I tell them that you're my friend because I think that will be the easiest thing when you think?

yes, that's a good idea

you have such great good ideas, I said, stroking the watch with my hand you have such great ideas you are my friend and that's what you feel like to me I cherish you more than anything you should know that I love you and I would not wanna trade you for anything I don't want to trade you for anything in my life but I wanna have as many friends as possible besides you.

well, I guess it's enough reading for now. I guess I better get some rest before the trials tomorrow I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Good night I need to change this, so it doesn't die on me again I took out the charger from my pouch and plugged it up there now I can charge the watch. I just have to remember to put the charger back into my pouch all right good night

good night see you in the morning

see you in the morning

I'll see you in the morning I said as I closed the watch I needed my sleep. I close my eyes and close the watch putting the watch on the charger by my bedside as I close my eyes sleep comes and it was restful as much as possible as much as I could in this horrible guild in this terrible bed, I went to sleep dreaming about being in the gardens or trying to dream about being with Robert.

wondering if he's OK wondering if I should check on him but I can't check on him. He's on Black Ion and he told me to never go there, but I want to see him, but I won't get to see him before the trials which sucks because he never told me to come to the gardens to see him, I hope he's not complete trouble because of my account. I should stop wondering about these things and get some rest now I sleep.

ashes sleeping

another ending I know the quick end here but I think it's not that important. I mean it is to end here. This chapter goes similar to chapter 6 from game two I told you I changed it up a little because I don't want to follow the same pattern as the game completely, Ashli needs to fall off obviously for that still be canon that we'll see how that happens soon right now we have a rest period for Ash to sleep and the trials are next. The next chapter is very action-packed compared to these other chapters we have done please enjoy.
