Guardians' Peril: Chapter 2

Nothing much to say here. Well since I haven't gotten any suggestions, yet, I guess I have to go with Raydn since you people won't know squat about how Raydn found the two children. And not only will these be shorter but they will be more intense. This one is kinda intense in some parts. Just a warning but you'll see. Well, Enjoy!

There is a philosophy that states, "Friends are just people you hate the least" and I really agree with this philosophy because while Alyut is my greatest friend, I really wish he was more relaxed and forgiving and I'm not alone on this one. I know that if he wasn't he like he was, he wouldn't be the amazing leader and best friend he is now but I really wish I could keep secrets without him being on my case. Though I guess he would've found out about the children sooner or later. But now it was now time to explain why there was two children in my closet to him. Maybe I would escape his wrath or die trying but at least it wouldn't be in vain. I really hope I can live to eat Lunaris' Heavenly cooking but maybe the gods would think otherwise.

I cleared my throat but instead of starting, I looked at the two children with their scared faces. I could hear Alyut's foot pounding against the floor impatiently. I looked back at him and he was staring at me with a stare that hit much harder than Lunaris's but the nausa and other effects weren't as bad.

"I'm waiting, Raydn." Alyut said preparing to say something from what I was going to say.

"Well, if you want me tell what happened, maybe you could lay off the death stare for a bit." I said jokingly.

"It's not my fault that two children are in your closet without my resentment." He said sternly.

"I'm just messing with you man." I said as friendly as I usually am but Alyut sighed and didn't look amused. "Since you can't take a joke, I'm going to start now and I hope I'm not going to be talking to a rock the entire time." I said while rolling my eyes.

"You can insult me all you want but unless you don't want to have a chance to not sleep outside tonight, you should probably start talking."

"Just because I hid two children that were outside and dying inside my closet, you have to make me sleep outside with the danger of monsters outside?!" I said angrily.

"Precisely."

"Maybe you should take into account the lives of these two children! I saved them from a Loch Ness and a Pheonix! Hell, the boy is a summoner and he couldn't save their hides!"

"Well, maybe if alerted me, I wouldn't be on your case about this."

"You shouldn't! You shouldn't be on my case for this! Would you rather have two lives go to waste?!"

"I'm the leader, Raydn. I can force you to jump into boiling hot lava if I wanted to."

"But I don't care! You can't be like this for stupid reasons! If Lunaris was dying in the Cave of Malice, would you be the same?"

"Um... That hasn't happened so I can't tell you that. Besides it isn't your job to order me around." Alyut said. That sentence was the last straw. I was done with him. Done! I can't believe that he's like this. It's not like I ran after Sodis in a minefield without his consent. His stupid face I could rip apart. I could pin him to the wall and throw darts at him. Now it was time to close this up before I became angry enough to stab him.

"Well, maybe then you aren't doing you job right! Leaders don't force their teammates to jump into a volcano, they allow them to do good things like save peoples lives!"

"You're acting like Farlon if Ramna was assaulted except, he would do what I say."

"When you say run, he runs. When you say fight, he fights. When you say to, he'll slit his wrists, but you can't compare me to him. I am not a stupid pawn like Farlon, I am not a stupid pawn!!" I yelled before punching him in the nose which sent him flying to the wall, creating a crater in the wall. He tried to get up but I grabbed one of my spear arms, attached it to my arm, and stabbed him in the chest which made a hole in his tunic and blood seeped out and dripped of him to create a big puddle of blood around him. But I wasn't done yet. I raised my arm and a freezing aura encased the spear in ice. Then I went to finish off Alyut but then I heard a person scream and a shadow flash by and stop in front of me. I blinked before I thought I made contact with Alyut's chest but when I opened my eyes, something was standing in front of me. It was a figure covered in a black and stone-like covering similar to obsidian. It's hands stopped the spear from stabbing Alyut who was behind the figure and looking thankful and puzzled. I pulled my spear arm away from the figure who then dropped to it's knees and the stone covering evaporated. As it evaporated, a body began to become visible and soon enough I could see who it was. It was the girl from my closet. How the girl could do that and why she had stopped me at her own risk was beyond me. Then I heard many loud footsteps in rapid succession. This told me that many people were running to the room and those people were the other Guardians. Of course. After hearing me yell and Alyut yell, of course they would come up. Then the closed door to my room swung open, the door hitting the wall with a loud bang. They all stared at Alyut and the girl, who now had her body rested on the boy's lap. Now it was more visible that the boy was much older than the girl. Then they stared at me not saying anything just staring. I might have to record every one of their stares. First Lunaris, then Alyut, then everyone. Now this has me wondering if I had one and that made my mind overflow. I was thinking too much and too hard and it wears away at your head. Then they examined Alyut's damage and didn't pay attention to the two children who were behind them now. I grabbed the three pillows on my bed, picked up the girl, and told the boy to follow me. The boy ran out the door and I looked back at them with Alyut. Ophelia was healing him, Lunaris was feeding him some more stew, and the others were baffled at what happened. To not let the boy wait, I ran out the door and held the girl as gently as I could and found the boy was waiting at the stairs. I went ahead and the boy followed as I maneuvered the hallways to the front door of the Inn.

Now it was around midnight. The night was somewhat cold but apart from the rare breeze that passed, it wasn't too bad. The girl was sleeping on one of the pillows I had grabbed and a blanket the boy had gotten before going outside, the boy was sitting on a rock outside the front of the Inn, and I was sitting on a rock close to the boy's looking back on today.

"It all started with these two. It's all their fault I'm sleeping outside for who knows how long. It's their fault I almost killed Alyut." I thought to myself. Then I thought about how the two weren't bad kids at all, so I started to reconsider. "But, maybe if I told Alyut. Maybe if I was as chill as I usually am." Then I heard a voice. A voice coming from the boy who wasn't as young as I made him out to be.

"Raydn?"

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Why are we out here in the cold?"

"I'm starting my sentence. It started with saving you two and after stabbing Alyut, that more than quadruples my sentence."

"I know but why did you bring Mia and I out here?"

"You two are mine now. You two don't have parents and while the others could take care of you just fine, I'm doing it correctly. You've seen how Alyut is. You hit a baseball to that tree over there..." I said while pointing to a tree close by. "He'll yell at you. You wouldn't want to live like that, right?" I continued.

"Not at all."

"Well, think of me as a teammate. You aren't a Guardian but your summoning will help us out. You have Vargas and Selena under your belt, who knows what else you'll get."

"T...Teammate?"

"Yeah."

"A farmer like me?"

"Farmer isn't what you are but what you were. You're a summoner and I've heard that you can change forms."

"That used to come from a stone called Model-E that was a biometal but after it broke from battle, it became a part of me. It allows me to materialize ice gauntlets and armor from an icy metal. Also allows me to control ice."

"Well you know mine, so what is yours?"

"Daniel. Daniel Versue Razak. The girl is Mia. Heh. Kinda funny how I became her Guardian then you became ours."

"Good to know, Daniel."

"I'm also fifteen and Mia is twelve."

"Also good to know. Well, Rina's our youngest at nineteen, Ramna and Ophelia are twenty, Farlon is twenty one, Lunaris and I are twenty two, and Alyut is twenty three." I said. Daniel paused for a bit.

"I'm sorry I made you get in trouble with Alyut."

"Nah, it's me. If I told him, I would be in my room and you two would sleep inside."

"Don't be so hard on yourself. You seem like a nice guy. I'm glad you care."

"Aw shucks, Daniel... You don't have to be like this...."

"Don't act like you're a quiet and calm person. Speak the way you would normally. Speak like a cool and cocky guy with an Agnian accent would."

"Alright. Thanks man."

"It's really nothing. Helping you could help me help Mia better."

"Killing two birds with one stone. If your able to more power to you. But we better get some shut-eye. Tomorrow we start training. I believe that you and Mia will be trained too."

"I guess so, Alright." Daniel said. We then both stood up from the rock and went to the spots where we put down our pillows and blankets, got comfortable, and tried to sleep. I said good night to Daniel but he was already asleep. I pulled the covers over my chest and rested them on my neck. I closed my eyes and before I knew it, I was asleep.

There was black like you would usually see when you sleep. I was standing on black and felt like dirt and everything felt like a vision. Everything was silent until a green light began to shine in front of me.

"I am Lucius, God of this gate." The light spoke.

Lucius was talking to me? What did he want? "Lucius! What is your business with me?" I asked.

"It's concerning today's events."

"I thought that wouldn't be brought up again. I'm sleeping outside now because I saved two kids that were dying and almost killing Alyut more than quadrupled my sentence. Can you send me back now?"

"But you need a bigger punishment for almost killing Alyut."

"Why? And what are you going to do to me?"

"This is for almost killing our most loyal fool." The light said before it became larger and larger until it blinded me causing me to lose conscious. Soon enough I felt dirt under my feet and everything was in color. I looked around to see similar environment to the one we were sleeping in but no Inn in sight. Nothing actually. Daniel and Mia weren't near and neither were the blankets and pillows. Nothing. No Edila. No Temple of Light. Everything was like it was before life. Maybe that was what Lucius did. He made me experience a purgatory or something. I then tried to move my legs. They wouldn't budge. I tried my arms. Nothing. I couldn't move at all other than my head. I looked around to see humans show up. Though everything was moving so fast. Like a history film around man's growth. I was experiencing man growing and building civilization. Everything was calming but disturbing. But then the ground under me moved to another village. It was familiar. It gave me heavy déjà vu. Why was it like this? Then I saw a child that moved much slower than the others Then it snapped in my head. That was me. Me at an age before the Guardians were formed. Me at a careless age. The younger me looked around twelve but before I could think it sped up. Then it went black. Then everything appeared. Meteors ravaged the land, floods swept through the land like Amdahl's breeze, natural disasters destroyed everything, and the ground started to split apart. Everything was in hell and disaster. Then at the corner of my eye I spotted something that was flying towards me. I turned around to see a meteor hurling itself at me. All I could do was watch it, I couldn't dodge or block but watch. When it hit, it felt like a meteor would feel if it hit you. More black but the light of Lucius shining when I blacked out.

"You've fighting the side that does the right. Humans are pathetic creatures following their common sense. Like you people thought, we have given up on you but keep fighting for us you naive creatures. You wouldn't know better......"

My gosh, sorry this was heavy. Well, reason why this was shorter and had more dialogue is because of my family vacation to Toronto giving me less time and this was done in less then three months or at least two weeks. Anyway, other than that, I'm going to make these more interesting and more adventurous and hopefully anything that will stop me from writing other than school and gaming will be shortened so I can have Chapter 1 length stories and Chapter 2 levels of epic. And if you like what you see, vote for next Guardian. It won't really affect the story at all so..... Farlon Ramna Ophelia Rina Lunaris Daniel Mia
