Φ As we get ready to leave, Mimes tears run down her face as she cries, “I want to go!”
“St already, you lost so you stay.”
“NOOO, I WANT TO GO!”
Walking up to Mime, Anto says, “Isn’t it much more fun to watch everything through me rather than have to get dirty doing it yourself.”
“I guess.”
“Then wait for me Mime.”
“Ok, Anto.”
Walking up to us, Avram says, “Orb, Anto, Cyrus I need you all to sit down for a moment.”
Following Avrams Instrus we all take a seat. Then from behind us Ghehe, Ivana and Wadim, e and start applying hair dye on us. “I thought we didn’t have much left?”
“While we were going around Skydust I made sure to pick up a lot of hair dye and some coloured tact lenses as well, this should grant you some safety while you are expl.”
“Thank you for this.”
“It was no issue at all, but with this, you have just a tiny bit more safety than you would otherwise. So, make sure to use it to keep safe and out of sight.”
“Gotcha.”
After the hair dye is applied the four of us take off into the desert.
-Break-
“Orb, I am tired, I ’t do this anymore.”
“Stop pining Lanta, we have barely been walking for 3 hours.”
“Unlike you, I happen to be a normal human, 3 hours of walking through the desert taxes my stamina.”
“Hey, I am a normal human as well.”
“Normal humans don’t have your absurd stamina. How the hell are you even standing?”
“We used to have longer walks when I was in Aplos, so this is nothing.”
“It is so dry and warm, my legs are too tired.”
Creating some snow, I throw it at Atanta's fad say, “Eat this to cool down.”
“NO, I am so tired of eating your chy snow, I want some smooth refreshing water.”
“You’re an adult, suck it up. Have you seen Anto pin once?”
“That’s because he has beeing to ride on Cyrus’s head this eime. Tell him to get off I want to have a turn.”
Did she really just say that; I think to myself with a face of disgust.
“Pleas-s-s-s-e don’t fight, I ca-a-a-a-arry you two as well.”
“No Cyrus, she o walk on her own two feet.”
“Orb, you know what you’re just a bully, a big meanie head. People like yoing to go to hell.”
“I don’t have time for this nonsense!”
“Orb, there is some water over there,” Anto says.
Hopping up, Atanta starts to ruo where Anto pointed. Looking over to where she is running, I see some sort of camel, but it has cubes of water where its humps are supposed to be.
That’s not a wonderbeast to my knowledge, and I don’t know any wonderbeasts that produce water like this, though it wouldn’t have beerahing I have seen.
Following behind Atanta, I say, “Wait up, we don’t even know if that camel's water is drinkable.”
“Well, there is only one way to find out isn’t there.”
This idiot. As Atanta gets close to the camel, it makes a face of shod then starts to run aretty sure it got scared away by seeing the hungry face Atanta was making.
As we run, I hear a strange sound approag, so I shout “ANTO SWITCH ME AND ATALANTA NOW!”
Following my instrus Anto switches us, and then I create a rge amount of iy left which quickly gets shatter as something hits it, no it didn’t just shatter it was mostly vaporized.
On the floor, Atanta says, “Why did you do that?”
“I am going to need you to shut the hell up right now.” Whatever the hell I was just hit with was freaking loud, my ears are killing me.
When the vapour from my ice clears, I look in front of me and see a quadrupedal wonderbeast that looks like a jackal, though it has golden bdes on its cws and a golden horn.
As I stare at it another simir wonderbeast appears to its side, and then I see small sparks appear at its horn, so I quickly create another shield of ice, then which is struck again by the same attack as st time.
This time my ice shield didn’t fully break, so looking at it I realize they hit us with lighting, which expins the ear pain. “Atanta, I need sed support.”
“Right,” she says getting up and positioning her bow.
But during the time she is getting ready both of the wonderbeast make their way towards the camel. “DON’T TOUCH MY WATER!” Atanta says as she releases five shots towards the wonderbeasts
Both of the beats are able to react to the arrow and dodge.
“Don’t get cocky you dumb dogs!” Suddenly Atanta’s arrows curve and turn around to hit the wonderbeasts, but they dodge them again.
“Too little, too te,” Atanta says, as another volley of arrows hit the beats in the dire they dodged the curved ones from.
One of the wonderbeast gets hit in the head while the ets hit in the legs. As the ohat got hit in the legs falls down it lets out a thunderous howl, while firing lighting into the sky from its horn. The sound wave from this pains my ears even more.
Shotting another arrow Atanta hits the surviving wonderbeast through the head. “That’s what you get for messing with me,” Atnta says, as she lets out a victorious ugh.
Holding my hands against my head, I scream, “Everyos ready, something is ing.”
Suddenly from my left, I hear something ing, so I create a wall of iy left, but it is quickly cut to pieces then looking behind the sliced ice I see a panther wonderbeast with a bde for its tail.
Using my legay feet I snow boost towards it preparing to strike the wonderbeast. As I luowards it, I see the bded tail of it extend and it tries to cut me.
Quickly I use my reflexes to dodge the attacks. After regaining my footing I create snow all around me while moving towards the beast, when its tail moves iween the snow I turn the snow into id freeze the tail into one pce.
Then while the tail is stuck, I dash forward and punch the wonderbeast in the face sending it flying.
When the beast regains its posure it looks me dead in the eye, so I scream, “DO YOU WANT TO BEY MEAL!”
Hearing my roar, the wonderbeast runs away. Taking a breath I say, “Looks like I am quite intimidating.”
Huh, I feel something on my leg, looking down I see a lot of little gold bugs. They all have single giant eyes, these must be wonderbeasts. “You know you guys are quite cute from certain angles.”
While I admire the bugs, I see little sparks form in their eyes, so I quickly create a shield of ice. Moments after I create the wall, I see it vaporize as it has been hit with lighting. “More of these lighting wonderbeasts, how annoying.”
With my hearing I notice more of the bug-type wonderbeasts have appeared behind me, so I create a giant wall of ice all around me, which defends me as the bugs shoot at me.
Crap, I let my guard down because they were cute, I o be more cautious. Remember the days back when you hunted for Aplos, you hat level of caution.
Atanta or Cyrus should have already helped me by now, but the bugs around me haven’t decreased. Using my hearing I try to hear what is currently going on outside my ice barrier and I hear loads of different sounds, they must be engaged in bat with something.
Hearing something at my feet, I see some of the little bugs ing up from the ground. Seeing this I jump from the sides of my ice barrier towards the top as the bugs prepare to shoot at me.
Φ Taking out my sword, I hear Anto say, “That wonderbeast looks cool.”
In front of both of us are five rge wonderbeasts that all look the same. They are quadrupedal and have golden armoured shells and a thorny tail. but the stra part was that it has bug-like wings on its back that appear from its armour.
The five wonderbeasts fly up into the sky, then move towards us, and as they do they fall to the ground rolling themselves up into circur balls(Like wheels) then charge at us.
P spirit energy into my sword I run forward and ssh the two first wonderbeasts.
Holding my horns Anto says, “WOOOOOO!”
“H-H-H-Hold on tight.”
Using my left arm, I stop the wonderbeast motion then I throw it into the one rolling at us. Then using my tail, I unch the st wonderbeast into the sky, the falls down, I pce my sword u so it plunges into it.
Turning around, I see the first two that got cut by me turn around and keep rolling towards me, but when they do sand starts to get stuck to them over and over until the sand has made them much rger.
Using my sword, I try to cut them again but the sand act as an armour and I am uo reach their flesh this time. As they pass me, I see them preparing to do this again. When they e around again, I should dodge them and try to knock them over instead.
“Hey, Cyrus.”
“Y-Y-Y-Yes Anto.”
“Why don’t you use yacy?”
“A-A-A-A-Atanta said I have low spirit e-e-e-e-energy, so I was trying to train.”
“Don’t do that, seeing you fight like that is super b, use yad show me something cht now!” Anto says throwing a fit on my head.
Φ L his head, Cyrus says with a depressing aura, “Yht, I should never have been so presumptuous like that, I really do suck.”
He really is always so sad and b he should really ge his personality. As an idea pops into my head I say, “My brain is so fat!”
“H-H-Huh a-a-a-a-re you ok-k-k-k-k!”
Using my legay dagger, I say, “Time to ihat personality.” Then I quickly strike Cyrus on the back of the head. “It is time for you to bee fun.”
Suddenly I am thrown off of Cyrus’s head and nd on my butt. Looking up to him I say, “Hey what was that for!”
Staring at me with a face full of annoyance, Cyrus screams, “SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!” Sitting down on the sand Cyrus says, “I am going to take a nap, wake me and you die.”
“But the wonderbeasts are heading right towards us.”
“Not my problem, you act.”
EHHHHHHHH! What is going on I thought he was going to bee fun, but now he is just a mean bully of an adult.
Cyrus despite his attitude is a kind, sweet, hardw boy, and the inverse of that is a mean, zy, disgusting, bum. Due to being 10 years old, there is no way Anto could have known this, but heless, it is the result of his as.
I o cel my legad revert all my inversions. As I try to turn off my inversion by striking Cyrus, I suddenly feel my leg being pulled away.
As I am dragged through the sand I get a face full of dirt. When I get to a certain point I am instead lifted up into the air by my leg. Opening my eyes, I see a giant cobra-like wonderbeast in front of me with swirling patterns.
As I look at the swirling patterns I start to feel dizzy, and then my eyes start to get so heavy that they close. Letting out a yawn I say, “I feel so sleepy.”
