The Kingdoms of Pandora

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared. "5 years? Are you sure of this,Noah?"Alexia asks as she stared. Noah seemed sure of it,but a the same time he seemed to have doubts. Alexia stared. "Well..."Alexia says. She stared a bit and tilted her head to the side slightly. She looked down at Noah's hand. "if you are sure about it. But make sure this isn't life risking much Noah."Alexia says. Alexia's staff started to glow brightly as it shook a bit. "It is the only way to get there in time. We must hurry,Alexia." Alexia looked up and then looked down onto her staff. "(You can still speak,even though you are hurt.)"Alexia thinks. "I am only hurt slightly. It would take for me to shatter for my excistence to cease." Alexia stared and blinked a few times. She looked up at Noah and noded. She looked back at Duo. "Come on. It will be the fastest way. The west might need all the help they could get."Alexia says.

[WerXand-XV 34]

Duo looked at one last page in his grimoire before snapping it shut. He trusted Noah, but disapproved of the drastic cost for the spell. "I hope you know what you're doing," he told Noah, referring to the risk he put upon his life. Duo joined hands with the others, and fir the first time noticed the demonic presence that emminated from Noah. Duo shuddered, whereas Balis gave a raspy hiss as the familiar felt it too.

[terraxaqua34 98]

'' Alright. lets go.'' Noah said as he started chanting something in a strange language. Then, red aura surronded the three. They then disappeared. They were in a red vortez.'' Don't let go. If ya do, I hope ya can fight off hunger demons for the rest of ya's life.'' Noah said as they then entered a white vortez and out came them. They were in the sky over the West Kingdom. Noah grabbed Duo and Alexia.'' Hang on.'' Noah said as he had his wings come out and flew down to safety on the ground. There stood the West Kingdom. In peacetime.'' I was right. They haven't attacked. Come-'' Noah said as he coughed up blood.'' Don't worry. I'm fine. Let's get to the temple. That's where my uncle should be aka the king.'' Noah said as he had his wings disappeared. He and the others started walking into the village of the kingdom. Someone in a white coat stepped on the ground behind them.'' It's time.'' he said.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia looked around. The capital itself was ssorrounded by forest. The structures looked the same as if they had been built at the beginning of their best time. They all looked so acient and traditional,unlike the structures like the Soul or the North. The people simply walked around as different animals helped them with normal day duties. "(They don't know about the attacks. They haven't been attacked. We need to warn them or something.)"Alexia thinks. She looked up and stared at Noah and noded. "Right."Alexia says. She pointed upfront at the highest building. "That should be it. Lets go!"Alexia says as the three of them hurried over to the Temple to warn the King. "Something's not right." Alexia looked down at her staff.

[terraxaqua34 98]

Noah and the others then entered the temple/castle. There sat the King of the West. He wore a black Karate suit, a red headband over his head, and he just sat there not knowing he has guests.'' Uncle Ankos. We need to warn you about-.'' Noah said as Ankos raised his hand.'' I'm aware. The birds told me. You have nothing to worry about. We are getting ready.'' he said getting up and he looked at the three as they had some bandages around a bit from the East.'' I can tell we're outmatch. I can sense everything. I can sense something that is being kept from Alexia, I can sense your demon fighting to come out Noah, and I sense fear within Duo. Now, if ya like to help me. First help me find my daughter. She should be in the market.'' he said walking out of the temple.'' Guys, you heard him. We have to find my cousin Rose.'' Noah said walking out.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared. "More family. Wonderful."Alexia says as she walked along with Duo and followed the two towards the market. Alexia looked around and then thought of what the king had said. She stared at him. "(Something being kept from me? What?)"Alexia thinks. She stood still and stared. Her staff glew slightly,but nothing big happened. Neither it spoke. Alexia looked down at her staff. "(It's my fault...but...what did he meant? What is being kept from me?)"Alexia thinks. She shook her head. "Great. Now I'm all curious."Alexia says to herself. She walked off and caught up with the others. She thought and then turned to the side and stared at Balis. She smiled and stared at Balis. "Are you alright Balis?"Alexia asks as she smiled. She then turned back to Duo. "He seems better now. We should keep him from harm until he heals fully."Aelxia sats as she rubbed Balis head and then looked around the market. Everything was so...lively.

[WerXand-XV 34]

Duo nodded, "Yeah, those herbs you gave us really helped," Balis was able to take off the bandages, but didn't like moving about, " By the way, I never thanked you, you saved my life in back up North, I'd if died it you didn't dig me out," He rubbed his chest, he's broken rib not quite healed yet. "I'm gonna make it up to you somehow, I owe my life to you, so thanks," He told Alexia as Balis tried to crawl into Alexia, despite the lizards aching body.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared and smiled. "I did what I needed to do. You're my friend,Duo. I couldn't let you burried down there."Alexia says smiling. She saw Balis trying to crawl onto her. Alexia smiled. "Come here Balis."Alexia says. She picked up Balis carefully,and setted him on her shoulders delicately. "There we go,be careful now."Alexia says smiling. She looked around. "(The people around here are so calm even though the Centrals are soon to come by.)"Alexia thinls. The three then saw a girl helping out citizens as she had a white tiger by her side. Alexia saw the white tiger and her eyes seemed to sparkle. "Oh wow. It's gorgeous."Alexia says as she stared. She then looked up and rubbed Balis' head. "But nothing beats you,Balis."Alexia says smiling.

[terraxaqua34 98]

Noah and the others kept walking as they entered the market area. They then saw a girl with short blonde hair, a dress with stripes on it, boots, a crown on her head, and a pair of golves on her hands.'' Rose!'' Noah yelled as the girl turned and smiled. She rushed and hugged Noah.'' Cousin Noah. I didn't think I'll see you here. What are you doing here?''asked Rose as she tilted her head at Alexia and Duo.'' Rose. I need you to come with me.'' Noah said as he and the others walked back towards the Temple/castle.'' My Father wants me? Why?'' Rose asked.'' He just needs you.'' Noah said as they heard some noise. They heard screaming as a man in white was walking towards them from behind. Noah and Rose and the others turned around. The man stood there.'' Hello. I'm here to kill ya.'' the man said as he then had a bow appear in his hand as it transformed from his blaclet. Noah drew his sword. The man then shot a arrow at them, but it was countered with another arrow as Zeta and Sync appeared in front of them.'' Miss us?'' Zeta said as they were ready to face against a Central.

[WerXand-XV 34]

Duo wasted no time, he was glad to see Zeta and Sync were okay, but the man in front of them was the immediate concern. Duo's hand flashed with lightning, calling the Maelstrom Grimoire to his hands, "Noah, get Rose to the Castle, we'll handle this guy," he told him, speaking words that created a mass of orbs made of sparks that swarmed and swirled around the man in white.

 

The stranger shot at the sparking orbs as they got too close to him, Duo saw him pull back an arrow, and shouted the runic word for violent. The orb was pierced by the arrow and the orb exploded in a small, yet impressively sized explosion is thunder and lightning, causing the other orbs to blast away as well, caught in the explosion.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia turned to Zeta and Scync. "There you are. Glad to see you guys are alright."Alexia says. She turned to Balis. "Hang on Balis."Alexia says as she spun her staff and it glew brightly. Yellow strings and figures started to sorround her. She muttered something as crystals appeared around her and she swung her staff,throwing them at the man. She kept muttering as yellow figures with no definition stood besides them. She pointed at the man and the figures attacked as they took out giant sharp claws. She stared as she was throwing at the man as many attacks as she could to make sure he wouldn't try anything. "This should get him too."Alexia says as she spun her staff and rested it on her shoulder. She pointed at the man and did a shot motion. "Bang."Alexia says as a small yellow sphere went from her staff rolling down towards the man,growing its size from a tennis ball to a giant sphere in a few seconds.

[terraxaqua34 98]

The Central stood there as if nothing happened.'' I'm sorry. Are you done yet?'' he asked. Noah grabbed Rose and started running, but the Central appeared in front of them.'' Sorry. Not letting any of ya get away. This is good. Killing all four children.'' said the man as he shot a arrow at Noah, but blocked it with his sword. Rose clapped her hands together as claws appeared on them.'' Behold the flame claws.'' she said as she shot fire at the man who just simplying knocked it away.'' I'll like ya to know, I'm not like Shucia and the others.'' the man said as he loaded a arrow, but it then spreaded into ten arrows. He then shot them in the air as they turned into 100 of arrows and started destroying the village. Zeta then loaded a arrow.'' Scared Bow, do your thing!'' yelled Zeta as she shot the arrow as it started going very fast towards the man who simply caught it.'' Does everyone understand that ya have no hope of winning?''asked the man as Noah was in the air ready to slash at the man, who blocked with the bow.'' And your suppose to be the Demon Prince?''asked the man as he simply kicked Noah away and Zeta and then had a shockwave form around and had it hit everyone causing everyone to crash into buildings.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia was sent flying back crashing against a few pillars and into a shop. She stood up and held her head. She looked up and held Balis. "Are you alright boy?"Alexia asks. She setted him down. "Be careful around,Balis."Alexia says as she looked up at the man. "You'll pay for what you have done to the Kingdoms,Central!"Alexia says as she orse her staff and swung it around,sending sharp crystals and spikes towards the man. She then charged straight foward and sent spheres of light directly at the man. Sending all kinds of attacks at him. She then created crystals and jumped on one of them. She then gave herself a push as she had blades of crystal come out of her staff. She swung towards the man as she attacked straight on. "Take this!!!!"

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

After Sync had been flung into the side of a nearby building, he tasted a metallic tang in his mouth- blood. He stumbled up just as Alexia was starting to attack the Central man again. Sync looked, and found his sword a few feet away from him, probably flung off from the force of the blow. Sync grabbed the sword, forcing it out of it's shwath.

I'm not as good with a sword, but it'll have to do. Sync thought, and he turned to the man.

 

"I have no idea who you are, but you've allied yourself with the Central Kingdom. Bad move. Also, I'm sick of being thrown against walls." Sync's new sword glowed with blue runes- the same found on his spear, and his armlets. In an instant, SYnc went from standing 20 feet away from the Central soldier, to now standing right behind him.

Sync immediately slashed, timing the attack alongside Alexia's .

[terraxaqua34 98]

The man stood there not harmed. He just simplyed laughed. The then kicked Sync and Alexia away.'' Alexia, you are being kepted from something. You are-'' the Central said as Noah flew staight towards him and clashed his sword against the bow. The force was enough the knock the mans hood off. The man had short blue hair, a strange marking on his eye, red eyes, and he had a scar that went across his forehead.'' Ya know what I look like now, that's not good.'' the man said as he jumped in the air and stayed there as he had hover boots.'' My name is Algo. Nice to meet the four children of the kingdoms. Alexia, as I was saying before Noah so interuppted me, you are-'' Algo stopped as he met Zeta's arrow in him. He then took it out and flew on top of a building. He saw the wound and the blood.'' Wow. You actually wounded me. One of the Star Knights has been wounded. His Majesty will not be pleased at all.'' Algo said as he smiled as his arrow started transforming into a scythe.'' Time I dealt with you seriously.'' Algo said as he started spinning it. He then jumped off and appeared behind Noah, who got cuts on serveal parts on his body. Noah coughed up blood and fell face first.'' I am Algo, the 4th strongest Star Knight. Also,'' as he hung his scythe over his shoulder.'' Known as the Grim Reaper. If ya thought Shucia and the others were strong? I'm about 10X stronger then them.'' he said.

[WerXand-XV 34]

Duo tried to listen to what Algo was saying, but he kept being attacked, Duo ran forward, and cast a spell from the book that shrouded him in a thick lightning. Algo leapt down from the building to attack, but Duo intercepted his movements, jumping in the way, spinning feet first into his chest, delivering a punishing, drill-like kick.

 

Gravity was on his side, since he was under Algo, he'd spin on his chest all the way down.Duo made the lightning around him explode outwards, leaving Algo covered with excess thunder. That scythe looks like it'll be a problem, Duo thought, He spoke a single runic word and a web of chains of lightning formed around Algo, not wrapping around him, but were positioned that it restricted his movements, "Try to swing a scythe in that, there's enough voltage in those chains to light you up like a christmas tree,"

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stood back up with the help of her staff. She looked up. "(I am-...I am what?)"Alexia thinks,wondering what he meant by that,since he didn't finished the sentence. Alexia stood up and grunted as she felt her side. "Ow..."Alexia says as she felt blood. She then looked up and glared. "I'm what...?!"Alexia asks. She spun her staff and her staff and her eyes glew slightly as giant pieces of crystal went flying towards Algo at full speed. Alexia then stabbed her staff down. "Take this!"Alexia says as she stabbed the ground and light spikes rose up and went directly towards Algo. Alexia's eyes glew as she roared and spun her staff and a swirly energy started to spin around her. The energy took the shape of an eagle as Alexia threw it towards Algo. "I'm what? Tell me!!!"Alexia says pretty furstruated at this point.

[terraxaqua34 98]

Algo stood there cuckleing.'' I'm surpised Duo. Someone who doesn't even know his own destiny can still fight? As well as Alexia, who is being kept a major Secert from. Don't worry. You want to know Alexia? Well, your the-'' Algo said as Noah ran towards him. Algo broke through the chains easily as he blocked Noah's blow.'' The Demon boy doesn't even know he's gonna die soon. Alright then. If all ya want to know. I'll tell you.'' Algo said as Zeta helped Sync from rubble and Rose was on her knees from being hit.'' Noah, you will die by the thing you terish the most. Duo, in the South, you will be faced with a diffuclt desicion for your life. As well as Alexia, go to the East to seek out for your True family.'' Algo said as he then jumped in the air.'' I'll see ya again in the South.'' Algo said as he disappeared from thin air. Noah stood there and looked at Alexia and Duo. Noah held his blade as he will soon die. Zeta walked up and whispered into Noah's ear.'' Should we tell her?'' she asked. Noah whispered.'' No. She'll find out when we get back to the East.''

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

Sync had no idea what Algo spoke of, his mind cluttered with him trying to figure out what Algo meant by Duo and ALexia having a destiny, obviously of great importance. He thanked Zeta, and managed to grab his sword again. "I can't believe this..." He muttered, "Algo the Reaper? Here? This situation is getting worse and worse..." He approached Zeta and Noah, but winced, realizing his leg was in sharp pain.

"Ack, ah, Noah, Zeta, mind telling me what the heck is going on?" Sync set his sword down, glad the for the moment, the Central attackers were gone. Sync did not know how long this reprieve would last.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared as she lowered her staff. " 'True' family? But...but...mother and father are dead...they died years ago,what do they mean?"Alexia asks now full of questions in her mind. She held her head. "What did he meant?What is he talking about?Mother and father died in that one big flood that hit us. What does he mean?!"Alexia asks as he looked down and held her staff. She then looked up and turned to see Balis. She walked over to him and carefully picked him up. "Come here Balis."Alexia says as she held Balis and got him around her shoulders. She walked around and stared at everyone as she looked around. "Is everyone alright?"Alexia asks as she walked over to Duo and helped him up. She looked at the rest as she then helped Rose up to her feet. "Be careful princess,let me help with your wounds."Alexia says as she used her staff and started to use a bit of healing magic to help on princess Rose's wounds.

[WerXand-XV 34]

Duo looked in shock, his life may be at stake in the South Kingdom, but why? Of what importance was he? Duo took Balis from Alexia's shoulders and tried to shrug it off, worry about it if and when he found himself in the South, but Balis looked at his master with a forlorn look in his eyes. Balis heard what Algo said and understood the severity of it. Duo sheepishly petted Balis's head, trying to avoid the familiar's gaze.

[terraxaqua34 98]

Rose smiled as she stood up as she was healed enough to fight. They saw a West Soldier upproach them.'' Princess Rose, I'm sorry, but your father died in the attack by a unknown man.'' the soldier said. Rose made fists as tears fell down her face. Noah stared and Zeta patted her back.'' I know how you feel. My father lost his life in this war.'' Zeta said as she held on her bow. Rose put on golves that belonged to her father.'' Scared Fists. Activiate.'' she said as they transformed into two dragon fists.'' One of the four Scared weapons of the four kingdoms.'' Rose said. Noah looked at everyone.'' Me, Duo, and Sync will go to the South Kingdom. Alexia, take Zeta and Rose back to the East. Find out about your family.'' Noah said as he tapped Rose.'' Rose, you can teleport you the others to the East while I take Duo and Sync to the South. It will take more years off my spam but I'll be fine.'' Noah said as he got ready.'' Are ya ready?''

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared. "What else can I know about my family...my father and mother died years ago..."Alexia mutters. But she was curious. What did they know that she didn't about herself? Alexia looked up at Noah and stared for a bit. "You shouldn't be using to many of those spells. It can be way to dangerous ya know..."Alexia says. She turned away and looked down. "Be careful with those spells. If you keep shortening your life spam,you'll end up dying on us to soon."Alexia says. She then walked over to Scync and Duo. "You two. Be careful as well. Especially with the Centrals around."Alexia says. She then turned to Balis and rubbed his head slightly. "You be careful too Balis."Alexia says. She then walked back to Rose and Zeta and looked at the two. She then looked up at Noah. "We're ready."

[terraxaqua34 98]

He then snapped his fingers as Rose, Zeta, and Alexia were then shallowed into a red vortez.'' Alright. They'll be fine. It's our turn.'' Noah said as he grabbed Duo and Sync as they then disappeared into a red vortez. They soon arrived in the South. It was still at peace.'' Guys, lets go to my father. He should know what to do. also.'' Noah said as there's demon soldiers all around.'' Try and not to attack my mom. She's not afarid to kill.'' Noah said as he and the others walked towards the castle. A white figure was on a building.'' Everything is going according to plan my lord.'' he said.

 

Zeta and others then arrived and fell on the ground in the East once more. It was still being rebuild.'' Alexia..lets find the king.'' Rose said as she got up. They saw Alexia's teacher walk up to them. Zeta stared at her.'' Ms.Elder. It's time to tell Alexia the truth.'' Zeta said getting up and helping Alexia up. Zeta gulped a bit.'' Alexia...how do I put this...well, your the princess of the East Kingdom, who's now Queen. Your mom and dad died during the central attack. Ms.Elder, please explain to Alexia why we kept this from her as me and Rose go scout for Centrals.'' Zeta said as she and Rose started running away towards to forest to scout.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Alexia stared. She blinked. "Wait...what...WHAT?!"Alexia asks as she backed away while holding onto her staff. She stared at them with wide eyes. She looked at the two sides. "No no no. You're all joking,right? This is all a sick joke."Alexia says. They all stared at her seriously. Alexia stared and looked at everyone. "It's a joke...right?"Alexia asks. The elder shook her head. Alexia stared. "But...my parents...the incident...what the hell..."Alexia says as she rested her back against one of the walls. The elder closed her eyes as Zeta and Rose ran off. "I'm sorry to not tell you this,I'm very sorry..."The elder says. Alexia shook her head. "But...why...how..."Alexia says. The elder kept her eyes closed. "Let me explain. When you were born,they asked us to come over to the castle and give you our blessings and preminisions...but when we did we saw something that no one expected. We actually saw the Central's coming."The elder says. Alexia looked up. The elder breathed. "We saw you,Noah,Zeta,Duo,Scync,Rose,everyone. We saw everything happen..."The elder says. Alexia stared. "The King and Queen were extremely worried for their only daughter. So in order to protect you,they gave you away to a normal family in the Kingdom,not letting anyone know but us and the Kings."The elder says. Alexia looked down. "So everything I knew...was a lie...my parents were actually the King and Queen...I...I didn't even got to meet them for real...?"Alexia asks as tears streamed down her face. The elder stared. "I'm sorry Alexia,we thought of telling you earlier...but you were so worried...we couldn't worry you anymore than you already were. But now you have an important role to accomplish."The elder says. Alexia shook her head. "NO! No no no no! I'm not even a fully trained magician! I don't have the same education or streanght as an actual royal should have been trained to have! I am nothing but a normal citizen! My parents died 10 years ago! I'm nothing more than so!"Alexia says as she rested back and held her staff. The elder stared. "I understand you are confused. But you need to uderstand the situation,you need get a hold of yourself and take over your rightful place."The elder says. Alexia shook her head. "I...I..."Alexia says. "You can." Aleixa turned and saw Prince Tsuko walked over. "Prince Tsuko."Alexia says. "Just Tsuko. You're the true heir. I am nothing but a decoration."Tsuko says. Alexia stared. "I don't..."Alexia says. "The kingdom needed to be assured that they would have an heir,so they adopted me,and I was teached to act like a prince,and act like we were family. I have been trained to be prepared for this situation,and to make sure you get there,Princess."Tsuko says. Alexia stared and closed her eyes. She hugged her arms and looked down. "I can't even put up a good fight."Alexia says. Tsuko stared. "You can. Listen. Your parents truely cared for you,and for you only. I was nothing but the distraction for the kingdom,to them,you were the true light of the lives. Wouldn't you do anything to make them proud?"Tsuko asks. Alexia looked up and noded. She looked down. "I guess..."Alexia says. Tsuko stared. "You're the same Alexia. Only with a new tittle. You still care for your friends,and you still have your powers. You just need to,embrace it all into one."Tsuko says. Alexia stared and blinked. "Yeah...you're right."Alexia says as she stood up straight. The elder smiled slightly as she walked away to help the east kingdom. Alexia looked around a bit worried. "Maybe we should help the others at the South Kingdom...?"Alexia asks. "First I need to show you something,come along."Tsuko says as Alexia followed.

Tsuko's appearence:
