CHAPTER 4

Realm Of The Past Present And Future

 

Me and Amy made sure that when the others woke they were holding the pendants around there neck. Daniel was the last to wake and when he saw the door he started mumbling.

“Bloody hell. Amy’s stolen. Matt has to go and convince everyone else to bloody follow. Then I’m struck by lightning and I’m equipped with weapons and can’t bloody well go back home!” his mumbling continued into obscurity.

“Fascinating the human mind... isn’t it” I spun to face the voice.

“YOU!” I lunged at the man standing in the shadows of a tree. The man simply stepped to the side grabbing the back of my top and then slammed me into the tree trunk.

“You know after I took your fiery little friend here” the man said indicating Amy “I wasn’t sure you’d follow” he let go of me and I staggered back to Amy she glanced at me and paled slightly I frowned for a few seconds until I felt the warm slow trickle of blood running down the side of my face. Amy had never liked blood.

“I do apologise for closing the door but I couldn’t let you go home without you first finding out why I brought you here if you would like to follow me” with that he simply turned and walked of I looked at Amy who nodded then at Ryan who gave me a firm determined look then nodded and a look at Emily gave me one last nod. We started off leaving an exasperated Daniel a little behind before he followed us through the forest.

“Ok... So... Let me get this straight. We (meaning Matt Amy Ryan Emily and myself) are supposedly people from another world...”

“But we ARE from another world Daniel” Amy told him.

“Ok we are supposedly THE people from another world that are mentioned in this prophecy that we are supposed to trust because It’s in some sacred cave and, I might add, it’s floating in mid air?”

“You know Daniel” Amy said “I think the cave is sacred BECAUSE there is a floating prophecy in it, not it’s a sacred cave SO it has a floating prophecy”

“Either way why would we want to stop some Bloody war which I’m sure it will be” Ryan added.

“Well Ryan war generally is Bloody so I suppose that for once you might just possibly be right!” Amy said in a slightly surprised voice. I burst out laughing along with Emily and Daniel. Ryan grew red with anger at Amy once again insulting him even though he knew Amy was just joking it annoyed him at how much she did do it.

“You want to stop the war because you want to go home. You do want to go home yes?” the man said.

“Look creepy” Amy said to him “you don’t exactly pull me into some strange world and then get trust from us.” I nodded.

“I agree who the hell are you? I mean you haven’t even told us your name.”

“Zamar”

“Right now that’s cleared up lets go home! Zamar open the door” Daniel said.

“I can tell you what you need to know but I can’t open the door for you”

“Right well then hurry up!” Emily said “I’m freezing” Zamar reached out and grabbed me and suddenly I was standing in a warm and rather large room. The walls were a brown cement and it looked like the roof was the same the floor was also brown but it was soft like grass... there was no door or window and I was alone.

“S**t.” I swore. Once we had been taken to the cave we had been shown a prophecy which read

 

Pendants of power 1 2 3 4 5

People from a different Realm 1 2 3 4 5

 

Pendants of power

One for strength

One for stealth

One for a brain

One for weapons

One for a fight

 

                   Strong

                   Silent

The                smart

                           eapons

                Fight

 

If 5 becomes 4

If 4 becomes 3

If 3 becomes 2

If 2 becomes 1

All is lost

None can win

The world is in war

The war mus  be stopped by pendants of power 1 2 3

Pendants must be worn by   from a different Realm

 

Parts were missing and looked as if they had been blown off with a strike of lightning or something however this is what we guessed. some parts like ‘the war mus be stopped by pendants of power 1 2 3’ became ‘the war must be stopped by pendants of power 1 2 3 4 5’ and ‘eapons’ is ‘weapons’ ‘pendants must be worn by   from a different realm’ became ‘pendants must be worn by 5 from a different realm’ however there were entire lines missing that we didn’t know and other parts that we couldn’t guess. Suddenly Daniel appeared and he stood stunned for a moment then started swearing. Next came Ryan

“...uck”  we heard Ryan finish before he too stood stunned then he started swearing again Next was Emily then Finally Amy Joined us and she immidiatly grabbed me before Zamar lifted his hand from her shoulder.

“Your life in the other world is no more. From this moment on until it is time for you to return home it is past. If you die in this world you will die in your home world so to try and prevent that I will teach you what you need to know such as how to speak Germish flawlessly which is the other language we sometimes use. It is also used to activate your pendants. I will teach you to read it though anything magic that is written in Germish I know you can read. your pendants and the prophecy are two examples I will also teach you to fight. That is your present situation. Then you will finish the war or die in this world. That is your future. That is your only door home.

He started to teach us how to fight immediately we fought with real swords but he somehow dulled the edges so they didn’t cut us but they still hurt and with a good swing we could stop each other being able to practice for a week. When we were not sparring with each other we were learning to use a bow, running laps of the room to keep fit, and we would lift waits for strength.  Zamar even set up an obstacle course to do. It must have been about six months before Zamar said “today you will not fight each other. instead you will fight me” he went over to a rack that held swords and picked one up “Matt you can face me first” Suddenly his sword was flying at me I dropped and rolled the sword brushing the top of my head I came up drawing my sword he swung at me overhead. I barely blocked his blow and less than a second later his sword was heading for my legs I jumped and swung my sword at his side and he brought his sword up and knocked my sword away with such force it was almost ripped from my hands it left me unbalanced and wide open and he poked my chest with the top of his sword. I fell to the floor. “Dead” he said. He called up Ryan next “This will be interesting” I muttered to the others they nodded. Ryan lasted as long as me but he didn’t get a swing in. After he fought one of us he would call up the next person. No one ever hit him. I was the only one to actually swing at him and Daniel lasted the longest (mainly because he could run faster than Zamar cared to walk). After fighting him we would learn Germish and how to read speak and write it. After about a month of facing him every day we started landing some blows on him. Another month and we were evenly matched. “You are ready!” he pronounced. “There are however” he said “a couple of things you need to know. First. Matthew you wear the pendant of fighting activating it will give you the ability to fight with amazing skill you will become the most talented armed fighter in the land and have skill with your hands too but only your natural strength to activate your pendant simply say the word Hinrkixn. Emily. You hold the pendant of strength with it you will become very strong I have seen people punch through brick walls using strength magic to activate your pendent the word is lkyexnkri. Ryan. Weapons. Perhaps a more correct term for your pendant would have been weapon smith as the power of your pendant enables you to assemble weapons out of almost anything and you can do it in under a second and to use it you speak one word. Zepfoxl. Amy. Stealth is your power it will make you silent and turn you invisible and even improve your balance a little. The activation word is Lkemkri. Daniel. You have a brain and you need to use it your pendant will help when you say Mypix. Your head will explode with knowledge and ideas you will be an amazing strategist and although you will not have knowledge of everything you will know lots of things you will even have information like the layout of a building or a city. I believe in your world you call them blueprints. Also you will be able to control people with your mind but you cannot move inanimate objects. If you meet another magic user that uses the magic of brain like your pendant or the magic of mind then your mind will project an image of you that can interact with the other magic user but only if your eyes meet and one of you wants to interact like that. Sometimes you may have to fight them with a projection. Now to stop this war you must find and kill Nila. She lives in a castle in the forest no one is sure where it is exactly but it is believed to be towards the east near the mountains. How you get there is up to you but I warn you there will be skirmishes and bandits possibly even a full scale battle before you manage to kill Nila remember this is a war there are no laws in a war do what you must to kill her only then will you be able to go home.

For me the formatting of the story hinders the delivery a bit; however, the story itself is very creative and thoroughly enjoyable :)

[Greg Close]

It seems like they were discussing the particulars of the prophecy before they actually read it? Maybe need to rearrange the first paragraph or two to fit in after they've read the prophecy. Could probably use a little more description of where the characters are as they are doing the training, add in a little imagery to flush out all the necessary story "set up" and explanation.
