Group of Darkness Poetry in the Night
Lincoln is seen looking at some books with his bodyguards at the Amazon library where you can find lots of books and scrolls from the ancient times of the Amazon warriors, and some books look a little new like some inventing new techniques.
"I'm hoping to get something new for my reading time when I read all of my comic books, the girls told me about this place and decided to give it a shot and it has not disappoint me, so far." Lincoln explained to the Fourth Wall.
"Hey Lincoln, maybe you should give this book a try." Carlota walked up to Lincoln holding a scroll.
"What's that?" Lincoln asked.
"This one is about an Amazon animal caretaker who found red star that was brought down from space and given her the power to not only speak to animals, but to also gain their abilities." Carlota explained.
"Oh, sounds wild!" Lincoln commented.
"Please, you should try reading my favorite story. It's about a girl who never was born with talent of an Amazon Warrior, but she never gave up and eventually became the greatest Amazon Warrior of all time!" Ronnie Anne bragged as she handed the book to Lincoln.
"Well, who can resist a good underdog story?" Lincoln asked sarcastically.
"The main girl is an Amazon, not a dog." Ronnie Anne pointed out, not getting the expression.
"No, that means someone who was thought to have little chance to succeeding anything." Lincoln explained.
"Oh, that's cool. I guess." Ronnie Anne said.
"Let see if there's anything else I can get." Lincoln looked around checking around section.
However, just when Lincoln was looking at one scroll to another.
"Hello, Lincoln." Lucy greeted him with the sudden appearing behind him and causing him to jump in shock dropping the scrolls to the floor and turns around for a punch to the face only for Lucy to catch if with her hand.
"Good reaction to attack the unexpected." Lucy complimented.
"Sheesh, Lucy, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Lincoln asked.
"Sorry, it's just a habit of mine to always frighten others when they least expected." Lucy apologized as she let go of his fist.
"Bet that make it good training for the warriors to be keen on their instincts." Lincoln said, thinking Lucy could teach the military soldiers about silent but deadly.
"You could say that." Lucy said as they go down to pick up the scrolls.
"Lincoln, is everything okay? I thought I heard a scream." Branwen asked as she comes in.
"It's fine, Branwen. It was just Lucy." Lincoln informed.
"Oh dear, that happens every time and yet even the bravest Amazon cannot keep track of Lucy's vanishing and reappearing techniques." Branwen sighed in relief.
"Man, if you were back in America with me at my hometown then you would've rocked Halloween with that technique." Lincoln believed, knowing how many scares she could get and go trick-or-treating with her.
Speaking of his hometown, Lincoln's mind went to thinking about both his parents and his friends who are still back home in Royal Woods as the last time he saw them was on his 15th birthday, he wonders how everyone is doing and how they're taking the news of him missing which he can already tell it is not very good.
"(Wouldn't surprise me that they would think I'm dead right now, but I do miss them.)" Lincoln thought looked sad.
"Missing your family and friends?" Lucy asked.
"Am I that obvious?" Lincoln asked back.
"I'm sorry that you can't go back home for the moment, but I promise that fate will reunite you with those you cherish." Lucy assured as fate brought the White Warrior here to the island, then the same can be said of bringing him home again someday.
"I hope you're right." Lincoln said.
"I know it's hard for you to be separated from your family, but you must be strong for you are training to be a strong warrior to protect them." Branwen stated which cheer him up a bit.
That's when Lucy gets an idea that could cheer Lincoln up from his sadness.
"Lincoln, how would you like to come with me for poetry night?" Lucy asked the White Warrior.
"Poetry night?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, it's something me and my poetry group do every week during the night when the sky becomes black, and the stars shine at their brightest. We share our love for the darkness and exchange some poems." Lucy explained about her group.
"Oh, so like a club." Lincoln guessed.
"Club?" Ronnie Anne asked as she and Carlota enter the scene with a few more scrolls each.
"Club is something people form together for certain groups who are interested in the same thing as writing or reading, games, sports, outdoor activities, any kind of things." Lincoln explained.
"Do they have wrestling too?" Ronnie Anne asked grinning.
"I do seem to recall a wrestling club at my old school." Lincoln said.
"Well, will you come, White Warrior?" Lucy asked.
Lincoln thought about this for a second, he has been getting to know more of the Amazon ways than just combat skills and training along with meeting some of the other Amazon people, it would be nice to do something else as well.
"Sure, I would love to go." Lincoln accepted the invitation.
"Excellent, the darkness gathering is tonight at the graveyard. Please arrive just a little after sunset." Lucy informed before walking away.
"I'm not sure if this such a great idea." Ronnie Anne said.
"What makes you say that?" Lincoln asked curiously.
"Well, we all know how Lucy can be with her darkness and such like that one time she summoned a demon just to ask it a few questions." Ronnie Anne mentioned.
"And the demon tried killing her and the other Amazons around her, but luckily, she was able to force the demon back to Hell before he could any harm." Carlota added.
"Well, I'm sure it won't be that extreme and even if it is, I'll be prepared." Lincoln promised.
"But you don't have your weapon since Cattleya is still working on it since yesterday." Carlota pointed out, worried for the boy.
"Do not worry our White Warrior, he has his training to help him get out of the danger should the need raises." Branwen reminded of what Lincoln has been training for.
"Thanks, I just hope I won't have to miss dinner." Lincoln was concerned for his stomach.
"Don't worry, from what I heard, Lucy's night gathering group have food there." Carlota assured that her lover won't go hungry tonight.
(Later, Sunset)
Lincoln arrives at the graveyard along with his ghost maid Aria who happens to be a member of the knight gathering group, they might up with a hooded woman who is standing guard at the gate of the graveyard.
"Greetings, Aria, and I see you brought the White Warrior with you." The gatekeeper greeted.
"Hello, Princess Lucy has invited Lincoln to join her group for the poetry night." Aria explained.
"It's nice to meet you." Lincoln greeted friendly.
"Do be careful with the graves, wouldn't want the ghost of past warriors to haunt you for the rest of your life." The gatekeeper joked a little.
"Don't worry, I was raised to always respect those that are important to the upmost including the dead and how they die." Lincoln mentioned, remembering the lessons his grandfather told him.
"Good to know." Gatekeeper said as she opens the gate.
Aria and Lincoln walks into the large graveyard with the sky slowly turning darker and darker with each passing minute, Lincoln looks around see all the graves have some weapons and helmets leaning onto the tombstones, there are even some with different items.
"Wow, this graveyard is certainly different than the ones I've seen." Lincoln said.
"How different are we talking about?" Aria asked.
"Well, for one thing they didn't have weapons or helmets at the tombstones. Just the names and some flowers some people bring whenever they'd go visit them, maybe bringing a few things as an offering like their favorite things." Lincoln explained.
"Well, we take our means of honoring the dead seriously as those who have died in battle are forever remember with leaving the weapons they once wielded here as a momentum and give a big shout to the Heavens to let them know we are still alive thanks to them." Aria explained how things are here.
"We would also take a piece of their hair and flesh, burning them into ashes, and spread those ashes from the highest peak of the island letting them scatter into the wind." Aria added.
"Wow, what an honorable way to help the warriors rest in peace!" Lincoln amazed.
"It's more than you think." Lucy said, walking up to him this time.
"Hey Lucy, I hope we're not too early." Lincoln greeted the black princess.
"No, you could say you're right on time." Lucy said and they follow her to the gathering.
"Everyone, the White Warrior, Lincoln Loud, has arrive." Lucy informed the other members, the other members are surprised and amazes.
"Some introductions are in order." Lucy said.
"This here is my co-leader of the night gathering, Haiku. And my best friend of darkness." Lucy started with this goth girl here.

"This one is in charge of the major desert area of the island and has declared herself ruler of that area even though she still answers to the royal family, Menace." Lucy introduced the next girl.
"Don't make it sound like I'm anyone's servant. I just happen to respect you all." Menace proclaimed.

"Here is Nyx, she can be timid at times but don't let that fool you because she can be fire up if in rage." Lucy said about the next girl.

"Here is Maggie, she can be rough around the edges and a little more emotionless than me and Haiku, but she's still a proud Amazon Warrior through and through. And has a thing for my sister Luan." Lucy teased at the last part.
"I do NOT like the clown bitch!" Maggie proclaimed with her face turning a little red.
"But yeah, nice to meet you and whatever." Maggie greeted the white hair boy.

"Nice to meet you all, I must thank you for allowing me to answer this call." Lincoln greeted.
"Wow, that was a good rhyme for a greeting." Haiku complimented.
"Thank you." Lincoln nodded.
"Hold on, we appear to be missing a few." Annelotte pointed out.
"Wait! Sorry that we're late!" Luna Luna called out as she and Echidna entered the scene.
"You two are part of this group too!" Lincoln asked shock.
"Of course, it's something we all took an interest when Lucy formed this group." Luna Luna nodded.
"Thought it would be interesting to hang out with some dark and gloomy girls on their time off at night." Echidna explained her reason.
"So, how does it feel to be the only male on an island of fierce female warriors that could kill a man in one strike?" Maggie asked.
"That was uncalled for." Aria stated.
"Just wanted to ask." Maggie shrugged.
"Well, let me think of answering that in a poem." Lincoln said, giving himself five seconds to think.
"When I wash up on the shore, I was confused and went into the jungle before I heard a vicious roar. I felt distress that my life was going to end had I not been saved by the dark princess, then learning about the island's true nature has made me feel everything around me is major. Being told that I am the chosen one made me feel more eager to become the warrior! As long as my hair is white as a ghost, I shall make you all tell tales of my deeds to be boast!" Lincoln declared; the Amazon night group were really impressed with that poem.
"Amazing, did you do any poetry back at your homeland?" Luna Luna asked.
"I may have done a few here and there." Lincoln chuckled.
"That just makes me love you more!" Luna Luna jumped onto Lincoln kissing him on the lips and hard which surprised the others.
"Well, guess that was bound to happen with him dating two already." Echidna chuckled.
