Shady's Tail, Er, Tale chapter 13 - Purpose Revealed
ETTING OME O LFANDRA
Shady found that as a Hero he had the innate ability to fly, but only for limited times. He could remember one of his friends, yes Jonathan, could fly indefinately. He could remember all his friends and their powers. How he had been able to come up with crazy and off the wall plans that somehow had worked out. The trip back to the black castle was rather uneventful. He looked at the 'runes' on the teleportation circles, he only had a vague idea of what they said.
They passed through the castle back into the more normal world. Both travelers grateful to be out of that place. Lave finally spoke up "Are we going to have to fly back to Andor?" Shady smiled and motioned him to get close.
"Now that we're out of that place I can cast safely... SEND!" The world shifted around them and they both re-appeared at the gates of Andor, something seemed wrong though. "Place is busier than normal."
"I can sense fear coming from all over." Lave stated. "This isn't good." They ran into town and tried to get someone to tell them what was going on, but everyone was running around too much to care. Shady got fed up with trying to politely ask someone and flew up into the air and fired the yellow happyrock. The flash of light got the attention of everyone in town and Shady began to speak.
"I am Gary, Hero of legend, returned. Tell me what the heck is going on here!" Several people yelled out something in coherant about shadows. Shady became disgusted, then he felt something to the north, he knew this feeling from long ago. An army of shadows on the move. ~Lave we have a problem, get everyone together and organize some kind of defense, an army is coming through the All concealing shadows. I have something I need to go pick up~ he left his friend to prepare everyone for the upcoming battle and cast Send. The world shifts around him.
He settled down into a pathway lined with streams of light of every color coming from above. The Rays of Hope, residence of the one who had created the happyrocks, the one who had summoned the Heroes. A nameless entity who guarded this realm. Before he could speak he was greeted ~Welcome Gary and Shadowing, it is good that you have returned. The Shadows have decided that since their world is no more that they will take over the other.~ Shady responded "I know, and I assume you know for what I've come." Shady waited. ~The Light Render, the one weapon capable of defeating the darkness that threatens this land. You will need it, take it.~ Shady felt a familiar power flow into him, he had his old weapon he used the Great Wars once again. He held his hand out and a sword of pure light appeared in it. He was now prepared for what lies ahead. ~Good luck Hero~
