Teaser One Disclaimers: Narnia comes from C.S. Lewis' book series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Wil Ohmsford, Amberle Elessedil, Allanon, the Dagda Mor, the Four Lands, the Ellcrys, and the Ellcrys' Sanctuary comes from Terry Brooks' book series, Shannara, and Terry Brooks, MTV, and Spike's tv show, "The Shannara Chronicles." Father Time is a Legendary Figure.
Teaser One Summary: Wil Ohmsford and Allanon, in the midst of the Void vanishing from the Four Lands, and the Ellcrys restoring herself, now have a new task underway. But is Wil prepared? Or is he staying with the Ellcrys and in the Original Timelines, while Allanon explores this mystery?
Sorry for the delay. I had trouble for a few days deciding which characters were going to be in this first Teaser chapter, or this fanfic. Then I remembered that time continued in the Four Lands. Then it dawned on me which characters and events would take place in this chapter. Also, I had hoped for Shannara characters to meet up with other characters from other stories.
We'll see if this is accomplished. :)
That said, enjoy! :)
Teaser I
Teaser One:
The Ellcrys
The worlds were restored, thanks to Father Time.
By the time the Void vanished, and the worlds were back to normal, Wil Ohmsford came to on the ground under the elven tree, called the Ellcrys.
Wil was a Half-Elf with short pointy ears, fair yet rugged features, and mullet blond hair. He was donned in a green hoodie shirt, a jet-black jacket with a brown strap slung across his shoulder, brown trousers complete with a black belt strapped to his waist, and dark brown boots.
He blinked once, standing up after the battle against the demons, and the demonic druid, called the Dagda Mor, to observe the tree, alongside the Human Druid, Allanon.
Red leaves were restored on the Ellcrys' tree branches, while the tree's sickness left it behind, thanks to the Elven Princess, Amberle Elessedil, sacrificing herself so the Ellcrys could be restored. It was a journey, but Wil knew he lost the woman he loved just to save a tree.
And the Void… the Void distracted everyone from what they were doing last.
Wil looked at Allanon in wonder and despair, admitting to him, "Amberle's gone!"
"I know," Allanon stated, imploring on him all that happened to them in the Void, "but we just went through another terror, and I must look into it. Here, I thought our adventures in the Alternate Timelines were done. It seems they are not."
"Really?" Wil asked, ticked off at him. "So, we just leave this world for another? A pocket world?"
"Yes, it would seem that way," Allanon stated.
"I can't believe this. I'm not doing this! We just saved the Ellcrys," Wil said, not understanding him.
"Yes, we did," Allanon said, approaching him. "We saved the Ellcrys, Amberle sacrificed herself to save us all. But we have more pressing matters to attend to. It's…"
"…Stop!" Wil said, raising a hand to stop him. "I need to be alone."
Allanon nodded. "Time will pause here, in this land, when I go. If you stay here, you'll be frozen. I will not. It's how this universe works, Wil."
"Really?" Wil asked him, confused. "How do you know that?"
"Because… anything that is in the Original Timelines ends up frozen in Alternate Realities and Universes. It's not my rule, but it is expanded on from Narnia." Allanon said, knowing what he must do.
"Well, I'm not going," Wil said, making his final decision known to Allanon. "Now, leave me alone." He walked away, approaching the tree in no time.
Allanon looked at Wil, who still decided to stay by the Ellcrys. Allanon nodded, knowing he would be going alone. "Your father would be proud of your actions today, Wil. As am I. Good luck, Wil. We'll speak again, very soon."
Allanon turned towards the doors to the Ellcrys' sanctuary, finding, when he stepped out the doorway, that he walked through a purple tornado portal with a gold rimmed frame. When he left the portal, he found himself in Father Time's realm, with a paint horse tied to a post. The horse was fully saddled, groomed, and fed. Allanon approached the steed, recognizing him as his horse, before untying the horse's reins from the post and mounting the steed.
Allanon's next destination: Father Time's house, where the Druid hoped he wouldn't be late.
End of Teaser I.
How was that? We finally have a Shannara character meeting with the other characters from other stories and legends! :) Things are about to get interesting. :)
Next chapter, we're in Part 2, and we're back with Frodo, my self-insert, and Father Time. A tricky chapter to write, but its getting there. :)
Thanks for reading. More to come! :)
