Everything seemed so peaceful here. The people were neither hurried nor rushed. Overall, they seemed like a very pleasant bunch. Sean was admiring a particularly strange building, with a gold and black thatched roof when he heard some shouting.
"It's the descendant !"
He whipped around to see that some men were rushing towards them. They were all dressed the same, caring weapons and equipped with matching armor. Sean was no genius, but he felt it was safe to assume that they were the authority around this place. They didn't look overly aggressive, but it did seem that they were in quite a hurry to charge Kaeli and himself. Sean wasn't a big fan of anyone making sudden moves towards Kaeli. He got down on one knee, with his right arm outstretched. In his palm a white hot fire was burning. He closed his hand into a fist then aimed it at the men. His right arm totally engulfed in fire now.
"Unless you guys want to cook alive, I would slow way down." Said Sean calmly to the first man with the black hair.
"We are guards to the Kaleidoscope throne!" Said the man in the black hair
"We mean no harm!" His own arms were outstretched now, blocking his men from proceeding any further.
"You should immediately come with us….…I can't believe it..... It'sher." The guard seemed to be temporary awe struck when he looked at Kaeli. The guard with the black hair again pointed at Kaeli
"She is the descendant!"
There was a shiver, Sean couldn't tell if it was from fear or excitement, either way, he let the fire die off, as he often did when there was no more apparent danger.
"Alright, We'll go with you…but you had beetter have a good explanation to all this, we are not from this world and need to find a way home"
"Follow us to the Royal palace, please."
Sean hadn't noticed before, but the other guard were all on one knee, heads in their arms, in an obvious bow of some sort, all around Kaeli. Sean grabbed his Girlfriends arm and led her after the black haired guard.
When they got to the Palace, Sean saw why this place was called the Kaleidoscope kingdom. The entire Castle was covered in some sort of strange material that gave of a Kaleidoscope effect,it was like looking into a rainbow, thought Sean, utterly amazed.
They were led up through a pair of main gates. As they walked, anyone who happened to see Kaeli's eye's got down on one knee to bow to her. However, it wasn't like bowing, Sean thought it was more like giving respect to a God! He kept close to her, when finally they got to a set of huge glass doors, made from the same material as the out side of the Castle. Sean was searched by a Guard, at one point the man's hands brushed over Sean's.....groin area...and Sean gave him a little jolt of heat to the back of his hand.
"Woah, buddy." Said Sean laughing "Let's not get too friendly here, ok?"
After this they were escorted into what had to be a Royal Chamber. There were Guards lined up both sides as well as a lady dressed in elaborate clothing. Next to her was a man who came rushing up to them.
"Oh, my god. It is her! She is the decedent!" Sean looked at the man confused
" You have no idea do you? I can see that you are not of this world" Said the man who Sean now assumed to be a Royal counselor, like he had read about in his Fantasy books back on earth.
"FINALLY!" Exclaimed Sean
"Finally someone who realizes we are not from here! Now what do we have to do to get back to our world?"
"If you would like to sit, I will tell you our story, the story of our land and the truth about you and your legendary duty!"
They sat and the man began to speak. The beautifully dressed queen, who had remained silent, simply gazed at Kaeli in amazement.
"Our kingdom,
our world, is the creation of a ancient civilization! Scavengers that were left alive after an all out onslaught. Once upon a time this planet was inhabited by many races, some normal like us and others 'He shifted his gaze to Kaeli "Like her. The descendant of The lost blood line! A culture that used magic and had powers that are to this day vastly unknown. Their culture was once a thriving mecca for magic and the betterment of our planet, but this did not last forever. A vicious horde of Alien Demons from a distant galaxy attacked them.
View attachment 3571They were unprepared, even with their magical powers they didn't stand a chance against the Demon hordes who wielded demonic powers of their own. They lay waste to the land, killed men and children, kept the women as slaves and battered down the once strong and powerful breed of people.
These people were called the "Meridians". Our only real knowledge of them and the life they lived is sealed within sacred scrolls that were discovered and passed down years after the Demon hordes left the planet. In side these scrolls is the story of true perseverance! True dedication to a race! It is the story of how they saved the blood line of their people, by sending one away. She was just an infant at the time, but the elders knew she was the only hope to save their magical culture....and more than that the Magic its self.
The counselor walked over to a near by wall and read off of a long sheet of paper that hung there.
"These, of course, are not the original scrolls, but they are copies. Here are the exact words. Maybe this will help you to understand better.
Upon this earth all hell was cast! With our collective and dying power, we sent one of us away. A baby, yes, but in hopes that she will safety make her way out of this Galaxy and into a safe planet, until her time comes, In which she wil return here to restore the magic to our world! She is a goddess and the last of our bloodline, The Princess of Meridia! The Maiden with Silver and green eyes!"
Sean stepped back and watched as everyone in the Room fell to their knees, bowing to Kaeli.
"Alright, this is all great and fine." Said Sean, obviously not impressed by any of the story "But you haven't answered me...How the HELL are we to get back home?" He was growing impatient now and could feel the heat slowly building on the tips of his fingers.
