User blog:Jan10KH/Brave Frontier Warriors of Gaia Chapter 2: New friends and Urban Legends

'Hello everyone! I finally finished the rest my band camping days, so now I'm free for the rest of the summer! Yay! :D This means more time to play catch up on the rest of my websites, drawings, and stories. For now, I give you all this new chapter! Don't forget to comment!'



So without hearing what I wanted to say,Grafl  took me to the La Veda Café. The place was really unique and beautiful! The main colors that were used in the café were white, gold, and brown. Also there were flower pots, which were filled with white zinnias, placed outside in front  of each window. I know that this is just my first day being in New Minstrel but this place has already become my favorite!

Oh by the way, remember those two people that appeared at the bus stop? Turns out that they're a friend of Grafl's (or at least I believe they are ^^;   ). Apparently, Grafl had barrow the fiery haired man's camera and the blue haired woman's Shakespeare book for a project he wanted to do. However, he ended up ruining the the items this morning. Afraid of getting yelled at by both of them, Grafl tried to avoid them  until they forgot about it. I'm guessing that his plan didn't work from the way he crashed into the trash can. But luckily the man and woman decided to let him of the hook if he treats them crepes as well.

Once we entered inside the café, Grafl left to order the crepes while rest of us went to settle down at a table. As we waited, the blue haired woman wanted to introduce themselves.

“I'm Selena. A pleasure to meet you." The woman said.

“And I'm Vargas. Nice to meet ya!" The man added.

“You too. I'm Avril Titan." I replied. So far this first day in New Minstrel has turn out to be a great day.

“So, I heard from Grafl that you're new to the city. Is that true?" Vargas continued on.

“That's right! I was born and raised in small town outside of the Imperial Capital of Randall. But when I turned eighteen years old, I decided to leave and move into New Minstrel to start a life on my own. I also wanted to learn more about my great grandmother since she use to live here too."

"That's nice to hear." Selena complimented, “New Minstrel used to be such a friendly village and yet after all these years it still maintain this peaceful environment."

“Yeah. Too bad most of the people these days can turn out to be really immature and irresponsible." Vargas added as he sat aside the broken lens camera and the burned Shakespeare book on the table.

“Oh come on! At least don't say that stuff while I'm standing right here!" Grafl complained from behind us. He was carrying two plates of crepes with strawberry and kiwi filling  while a another man was also holding two plates of crepes with banana and kiwi filling.

I wonder, who is this guy? Another friend of Grafl's? The man looked about 21-ish years old or maybe that same age as Vargas. He had long silver-like hair that stretched over his shoulders and blue electric eyes. The man wore a collided silver and white shirt, a golden cross necklace, black long pants with an angel's wing embedded on both sides of his pokect, and light grey shoes.

After Grafl passed out the plates, he slumped down a  chair next to me and groan.

“The one opportunity I get to hang out with the new girl and now I have to pay debt.This sucks!" Grafl complained even more.

“Maybe this will teach you not wreck other people's property!" Selena growled at him.

“I told you it was an accident!"

"I'm still upset!"

“Getting off topic," Vargas interrupts the argument, “Avril, this is Aem. A friend of ours. Aem, this is the new girl Avril Titan."

“Nice to meet you!" I greeted with a smile.

“The pleasure is mine, Ms.Titan." He replied with a small bow.

“Oh yeah, that reminds me." Grafl said, “Since we're all here, why don't we tell Avi about the urban legend that's been spending out lately."

“Not this again." Selena groaned before talking a bit of the crepe with a fork.

There's an urban legend for this town?

“What urban legend?" I asked.

“Well..." Aem starts off, “People say that-"

“Whenever you look at the mirror at midnight, you'll see strange things from another world."

The familiar voice joined in once he had entered inside the café. It turned out to be the spiky green haired and forest green sleeveless jacket man I meet at the airport.

“Oh hey Lance." Grafl greeted, “You wanted to hangout with us too?"

“Not exactly." He replied, “ I actually came here to return this to the new girl who dropped it earlier."

He reached into the left side of his dark green long pants and pulled out a armband with silver stones all around it and a blue diamond in the middle. It was my great grandmother's armband! I guess I must have dropped it when I bumped into Lance.

“Here you go." He said as he returned the armband back to me.

“Thank you so much!" I replied as I slipped the armband back to my left arm.

“About the urban legend." Lance continued,“Recently it has been occurring into everyone's mirrors, including the mirrors at the Gaia Supermarket. People now and days believe that seeing the mirror at midnight could lead you to your fate."

“Amazing." I awed. Maybe I should check out the urban legend tonight.

“Please don't get involved in this nonsense, Avril." Selena warned me, “For all we know, this may be some kind of prank teenagers made to get attention by spreading a fable story."

“So does this mean that you don't believe in the urban legend?" Vargas asks Selena.

“I'm not saying it's real nor I'm not saying it's fake! I'm just hypotheizing that the legend may be just nothing but talk."

“But you're still agreeing that the the urban legend isn't real."

“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

“Calm down Selena." I said, “How about this: when I go see the mirror at midnight, I'll video record everything and show it to you all the next day."

“That's a brilliant idea, Ms. Titan." Aem complimented, “This may prove rather if the legend is real or not."

"Alright then, it's settle." Grafl announced, “Avi, the urban legend's truth is now in your hands. We're counting on you!"

I smiled. “Sure thing."

The time is 11:55 PM. So far, I sat in front of the mirror for three hours straight and I'm so tired. Once I came back to the bus stop after eating crepes, the bus had already left without even waiting for anyone. Luckily, Aem was there at the time and offered me a ride to my new apartment. He was really sweet and generous. I'm glad that meet and made friends with Grafl and his friends. My first day in New Minstrel has been the best day of my life so far!

I re-check the my phone for the time and it was 11:58 PM. I got up from my seat, pressed the record bottom on my video camera, and stand in front of the mirror. As time begins to tick, my anticipation continues to grow stronger than before. I was a little scared at first about seeing what my fate but an opportunity like this just can't be missed!

I re-check my phone for the last time, it is now 12 PM. I quickly looked at the mirror and watched as it began to move like small waves of water caused by a droplet. Eventually, a blurry screen appeared on the mirror and showed some type of flying creature fluttering around the forest. Suddenly, a voice boomed out of no where.

Do not be afraid, Avril.

I jumped in surprise. Was there someone else in my apartment?

“Who's there?" I asked, “Show yourself!"

Do not be afraid.

Suddenly, my arm instantly began to moving on it's own! I tried to force myself to stop but it still continues to have a mind of it's own!

You have the power to enter these realms.

And just like that, my arm pushes through the mirror! How is that even possible?! Is the mirror some kind of teleporter? As my arm continues to move further in the mirror, along with me, I quickly stopped myself by grabbing on to the towel rack and pulled myself out before getting myself further inside. Once I was free from the mirror, it completely returned back to normal.

I panted heavily after this whole phenomenon was over.

“What in the world."
