Welcome to Gaia! ::

. . . I DONT SEEM SPECIAL IN THIS STORY! XD but overall, it was good. i seem like a hopeless powerless, b*****d of a king. And why the hell am i a goblin? i wanna be human. xD

"It might be good to have another human here." Said Becca, relaxing. "There aren't many real humans here." Becca stood up, she began to walk to the royal kitchen. FubukiT stood up, and power swirled around him, he then vanished. He reappeared next to Becca, they both walked through the palace halls. Guards at each side. The guards resembled humans, but weren't from the other world.
"Maybe." Replied FubukiT, guards eyed them. They were paranoid of the dark creatures that would attack the kingdom. "We have been looking for another human companion to travel with us. Only real humans can harness the full power of the Elemental Gems..." Graahk followed them, he was curious at what they planned. "What shall we have?" Asked FubukiT to Becca, as they walked into the kitchen.
Esan backed up as the wolves closed in. Esan had a tight grip on the sword, he took a stance. A wolf dashed towards him, and jumped. Esan just closed his eyes and slashed forward. He heard something drop to the ground, he opened his eyes to see the Shadow Wolf dead at his feet. Strange dark liquad dripped from his sword. The wolf and the liquid evaporated. Esan looked at the other wolves, which have now circled him. Esan held his sword high, another Shadow Wolf lunged at him, Esan was able to stay calm and slashed at it, its claws left a small cut on Esan's arm. Esan put his hand over the cut, it was stinging horribly. The wolf's claws are barbed! Esan looked around, the other Shadow Wolves all jumped at once at him. Esan dashed to the side, slashing through one while the others barely missed. Esan ran at one, stabbing it. The last one was able to get close and Esan jumped back. The wolf suddenly stood on it's two hind legs. Esan stared at it, amazed. The wolf ran at him, barraging him with slashes. Esan blocked off some, but continued to get scratched. Esan ducked and thrusted his sword forward. Stabbing it, it shattered. Like broken glass. Above the door appeared a light green glowing one. Esan ran at the door, it was locked. He heard growling, behind him were now ten wolves, all standing on their back legs. Esan fought them off, evading and blocking. He kept slashing at them, taking them down one by one. He lunged his sword into the last wolf. It dissolved. The one aboved the door changed to a two. Esan groaned, "They is going to take forever...Why didn't I get a choice in this?!"
FubukiT and Becca sat at a large dining table, covered in white cloth. The food smelled fresh. They ate and then began to start another conversation. "How do you think Esan's doing?" Asked Becca. She put down the bone she picked clean.
"Who knows." Replied FubukiT, "I guess I should check on him." FubukiT stood up, and blue aura swirled around him. He appeared in the chamber standing on a wall, ignoring gravity. Esan didn't have time to look, he was fending off strange ork creatures. He continued to dodge their flying maces. "How ya doing?" Asked FubukiT. Esan was startled and looked over, he saw FubukiT standing on a wall.
"How are you doing that?" Asked Esan, puzzled. The orks mace, hit Esan's hand, causing the sword to skid from his hand into a corner. Esan's eye twitched. "You distracted me! Now I have no weapon!" Yelled Esan, evading each mace that swung at him.
FubukiT sighed, "It's your own fault, you need a better grip!" Esan muttered something and rolled over to his sword, he lunged it into the ork. It fell over, dissolving before it hit the ground. The other ork ran at him, Esan continued to guard against it. "Your not getting too far..." Said FubukiT, looking over the to door, above was a two. FubukiT teleported back to Becca, and they began to talk about their plan for the Elemental Gems.
"Why did he leave me down here?!" Yelled Esan, slashing his sword at the flying mace. Slicing it in two. Esan jumped and stabbed the sword through the ork. It suddenly disappeared, above the door appeared a three. "Ugh."
"Do you think Esan will survive?" Asked Becca, as she began to lay out the map of Grundor, the area they're in.
"I wouldn't bet on it." Replied FubukiT, looking at the map. Tons of shining gems were marked on the map. "Quite a few Elemental Gems. Which will we go after first?"
"Well, it seems there's one close by the kingdom. It seems to be guarded though..." Said Becca, pointing to a near by swamp. Habited by a rogue clan of skillful goblins.
"How annoying..." Replied FubukiT. "We should be able to take them easily, but we have to restrict our power, so we don't accidently destroy to hidden Elemental Gem there..." FubukiT scratched his head. "But I guess we should wait for Esan to finish the 100 door training... If he survives it."
"So I guess a good nights rest and we check on him tomorrow morning?" Said Becca, rolling up the map. She and FubukiT walked to the master bedroom, and relaxed.
"Wonder if he'll survive the night." Said FubukiT, almost jokingly.


TOO BE CONTINUED! XD

Esan walked down the hall, guards watched, amazed. They didn't think he'd surivive. Esan walked through the door, finding Becca and FubukiT eating. Esan slowly walked in, wondering if he's allowed to eat. A servant seated him and served him some meat. Esan stared at it for several minutes. He had no idea what it was, and he never smelled anything like it. "So what do I get from making it through the 100 door training?" Asked Esan, eagerly hoping for a reward.
"You get the self-confidence of making it through some training." Said FubukiT continuing to eat. "Your going to do that training alot, so be prepared.
"What?! I have to go through that again? It took me all night!" Exclaimed Esan. FubukiT shaked his head.
"So? Its not that hard..." Said FubukiT, still eating. Becca quietly ate.
"No it isn't!" Yelled Esan. "You try it!"
"I did." Replied FubukiT, and Becca nodded too. Showing she went through the training as well.
"Well? How long did it take you?" Asked Esan, eager to find out how long it took the king and queen to complete it.
"Well, it took me about one hour... And Becca did it in 40 minutes." Said FubukiT, Becca still nodded. Esan just stared. "Don't worry, you had no experience. We trained before it." Esan was a little relieved.
"Hey FubukiT, where's Kikyo?" Asked Becca, "She hasn't been back from her hike yet."
"Hmm, that's a good question." Replied FubukiT, "I know! Esan, to test how much that training helped, you will go out to find her. Just follow the path."
"I just got out of the chamber!"
"But you were healed, right? Typhad's an expect alchemist.
"Yah, but-"
"Then it's decided!" Cheerfully said Becca, tired of all the walking to find Kikyo. She was always too adventerous. "It took us two days to find her last time, shes fast." Said Becca, FubukiT just nodded. "Good luck!"
"Wait, do I have to leave now?!" Asked Esan, angry that he's getting stuck with something like this.
"Yep!" Guards appeared around Esan, and led him outside. He closed the doors. Esan saw the trail and began to walk.
"They are unbelievably cruel..." Complained Esan, as he walked down the trail. He looked infront of the kingdom, a large crater was there, a small one to the side. The large crater could possibly be bigger then the width of the kingdom! He continued to hike, a few hours pass, and still no sign of her. Esan walked until dark. He rested against a tree, he heard growling. He looked to see wolves approaching him. A pack of ten wolves. He stood up, and held his sword. They lunged at him, from Esan's training, they seemed slow. He easily evaded, slashing at them. After the small fight, Esan found he couldn't sleep. So he continued his walk. As the sun rose, he heard yelling. Esan saw a girl training against a tree. Is that Kikyo? He watched, wondering. Suddenly dark ork came from the forest. It stomped over to Kikyo, she stared at it in the eyes. Suddenly he noticed her image flickered. The ork was down, knives in all its pinpoints. It faded, Kikyo held her hand out and pulled her fingers back. The knives seemed to be connected through a thin wire. They were pulled back, and neatly hung on her shoulder. She tossed a throwing knife over at Esan, he barely dodged it.
"Come out!" Demanded Kikyo, in her hands were two small swords. Both designed for stealth. Esan walked out, scratching his head.
"FubukiT and Becca sent me to find you." Said Esan, hoping she won't kill him like she did to the ork. She mumbled something under her breath.
"Alright, you lead the way." Said Kikyo, walking to the path. Esan began to walk. As they traveled back, he noticed alot of the trees had strange markings.
"What do these markings mean?" Asked Esan, as they walked. "It looks like some foreign language written on some of the trees."
"Those are just warnings. I guess you came here another way. This is a deadly swamp." Replied Kikyo, yawning.
"What do you mean by deadly?" Asked Esan, now being cautious.
"Deadly as in a clan of powerful rogue goblins..." Said Kikyo, she didn't seem worried.
"Should we turn around?" Asked Esan, looking around. He heard something, mist was began to come in.
"Too late..." Said Kikyo, infront of them were atleast 20 rogues. They all had katanas. Esan drew his sword. Kikyo took out her two stealth swords. She dashed in, the sparks could be seen easily though the mist. Esan ran in, blocking and attacking. They swung their swords at Kikyo, she easily and effortlessly dodged them. Resembling a dance almost. She kept evading drawing them all into one big crowd, instead of a spread out group. Esan saw the chance, he slashed the one he was fighting. It dropped dead, and Esan ran over to fight the crowd. They were focused on Kikyo, and didn't notice Esan. Esan began to fight them, the swords clashed. Kikyo jumped over the group. Kunai's then impaled through all their heads. They all dropped dead, Esan was amazed, and scared. "You did good, I guess." Said Kikyo, running through the mist.
"Hey wait!" Esan ran in after her. He noticed Kikyo stopped, he looked ahead. The rogue camp was there. "Are we going to attack?" Asked Esan.
"Of course." Replied Kikyo, running into the camp. Esan followed. Rogues flooded from their tents, all having a sword in their hands. Esan ran through slashing at each one, he held his sword with two hands. As they slashed, Esan slashed back at the sword harder. Cracking their swords, some breaking. Esan kicked one, sending it back. Esan lunged his sword into another, quickly grabbing for the sword in the hand of the one he just stabbed. He tossed it into another, then tripped the last one. It fell with a thud and Esan pulled his original sword from the one goblin and stabbed the last one. The a slash appear on his arm, he held it. He looked in the direction. This goblin was more powerful, it grinned at Esan. It held it's palm up, a shining gem floating out. It floating in the middle of its palm, its shine was great, and had powerful aura. It was absorbed back into it's hand. And it jumped at Esan, Esan evaded, but the goblin changed direction of his attack in mid-air. Slashing at Esan, Esan fell over. Then quickly got up and held his sword. He took a kendo stance. The goblin quickly dashed at Esan, a kunai pierced each of its heels. Kikyo sat on a pile of dead goblins. Esan's eye twitched,I can't be this weak! Esan stepped foward, slashing his sword. He cut off the arm with the shining jewel. The gem felled and Esan picked it up. "What's thi-" It suddenly absorbed into his palm, Esan felt more powerful, he felt faster. He couldn't believe it. It's as if everything was boosted. Esan slashed through the goblin with ease. It fell to the ground. Kikyo walked from the pile over to Esan.
"Good job, you found an Elemental Gem."
"Elemental Gem?"
"You don't know?" Asked Kikyo, "Where are you from?"
"The..err..other world."
"That explains it." Said Kikyo, she sighed. "Let's continue the walk, I'll explain it on the way. Esan followed Kikyo, she then lifted her palm, an Elemental Gem come from the palm. It levitated in her hand. "These are Elemental Gems, FubukiT and Becca have a few I think. They have immense power, the more you absorb, the more powerful you become!" It was then aborbed again. "No one knows where they came from. They just...appeared. Out of nowhere, for the past 100 years, people have hunted them. Becca knows alot, she has a map that shows where each it located." Esan just nodded as they walked. He wouldn't of believed any of this if he hadn't seen it for himself. They approached the kingdom. The guards bowed.
Kikyo walked up to them.
"Welcome back, Princess Kikyo!" Said one of the guards.
"Your...A PRINCESS?!" Exclaimed Esan.
"What else would I be?" Said Kikyo, walking through. Esan just sighed and walked into the castle.

fine fine XD she'll be an adopted daughter XD

i'll update soon XD

i'll probably update after dinner XD

Esan walked into the kingdom, still holding his sword. I need a sheath... Kikyo walked to FubukiT and Becca. "Ahh, you found her, good job." Said Becca with a thumbs up. The throne room seemed to have more guards then usual.
"So she's your daughter?" Asked Esan, confused. Becca and FubukiT looked considerably young, maybe mid-twenties. While Kikyo looked to be fourteen or so. While Esan was fifteen. He was happy that Kikyo was here. He hated being the youngest.
"She's our adoptive daughter." Said Becca, FubukiT sat at this throne, he continued to eye the door.
"Oh. Why are there more guards here then usual?" Asked Esan, the guards looked like they were ready for battle. Like they're expecting it.
"Well, there has been rumor that the Dark Lord as been traveling around the kingdom. It has been reported he has a new apprentice." Said FubukiT. "We may not being to handle him."
"New apprentice?" Asked Esan, "What happened to the other?"
"Others." Corrected FubukiT, "He tends to use them and throw them out quite quickly."
"Then how come the new apprentice agreed to become his apprentice?" Asked Esan, "Should he or she know that the Dark Lord's evil?"
"They could think that the Dark Lord will change, or maybe they think they are powerful to become worthy of the Dark Lord to keep." Said FubukiT, screams came from the hall. FubukiT eyes seemed to change, the once calm eyes seemed to be more fierce. Esan noticed it in Becca's eyes too. The door to the throne room bursted open. A figure in a pitch black robe walked in, from under the hood. Two glowing purple eyes could be seen. He slowly walked in, behind him walked a boy. Looking to be twelve or so. He was in dark gray gear. His hood was down.
"Ahh, you two seem tense." Said the Dark Lord, Esan just stared. He didn't know what was going to happen. He pulled down his hood. He was a shadow! You could see through the gray shadow that formed his head. All that wasn't transparent was his two glowing purple eyes, and his nasty grin. "From the look in your eyes, you intend to fight me!"
"We intend to avoid conflict." Said FubukiT, standing up. He walked infront of the Dark Lord. They stared into eachothers eyes. Kikyo seemed especially angry. She had her knives ready.
"Ahh, Kikyo, long time no see. I thought you died." Said the Dark Lord, turning his head to her. She gritted her teeth, she wanted to attack, but the Dark Lord's power was far above hers.
"She's become powerful. I'm sure she wants revenge." Said Becca, appearing next to the Dark Lord.
"Aren't you fast." Said the Dark Lord, with a small laugh. His apprentice appeared to have no emotion. He twisted his hand over to Esan. "Ahh, who's this?"
"His name is Esan, he came from the other world." Said FubukiT, he gaze still fixed on the Dark Lord.
"I see." Said the Dark Lord, twisting his head back and looking at FubukiT. "Now, why don't you go back to sitting on your royal seating. I don't plan to cause an problems." Said the Dark Lord, grinning.
"I wish I could believe that..." Mumbled FubukiT, remembering the last encounter with the Dark Lord. The Dark Lords grin grew.
"Ahh, you know me well FubukiT." Said the Dark Lord.
"Its King FubukiT." Snapped FubukiT.
"Oh, my mistake..." Said the Dark Lord. Then a dagger shot from his robe, FubukiT teleported behind him. His staff shined brightly in his hand. He pointed to orb to the back of the Dark Lord, fire erupted from it. The power took out the back half of the kingdom. Esan barely avoided it. A large cleaver grew from the Dark Lords hand. He swiped it at FubukiT, who caught it with one hand.
"Your not going to run like last time." Said FubikiT, his tone cold. Spikes came from the sword. FubukiT let go and jumped back. Becca had an arrow pointed at the back of the Dark Lord's head. The robe suddenly fell to the floor. FubukiT and Becca stood back to back. "Esan, Kikyo! Get out of here!" A large sword slashed at Esan, he blocked it with his sword. FubukiT saw the Dark Lords position. He slammed the end of his staff into the floor.A large metal spike came out from under the Dark Lord. He quickly vanished, the sword dropped to the ground.
"Too slow." Said the Dark Lord. Appearing behind FubukiT, he lunged the sword at him. A metal wall sprung from the ground. Typhad stood in the hall. "An alchemist? Hmm." The wall cracked and shattered. FubukiT appeared above the Dark Lord. Pointing his orb down at him. The area exploded. The floor crumbled, causing everyone on that floor to fall. They were in the 100 door training chamber. Monster began to spawn, they targeted the Dark Lord. They disingrated as they got close to the Dark Lord. Esan stood terrified. How are we supposed to fight someone like that?! The Dark Lord began to spin, dark mist shrouded the room. Suddenly Esan was slashed in the back, he fell to the ground. He tried to get back up, the Dark Lord stomped his foot into the wound. Esan slashed his sword wildly. "Ehh? Pitiful." Esan's right eye began to glow, it was now a light blue. "Hmm?" Esan pushed himself up. The Dark Lord only laughed. "Now what's with this boy? He seems to want to fight me!" Esan slashed, the attack only went through the Dark Lord. "Attacks as weak as yours could never even hope to cut me." Becca shot a shining arrow at the Dark Lord, his hand formed a fist. He punched the arrow, it shattered. Becca seemed worried now, FubukiT began to teleport rapidly, spinning his staff to get rid of the mist. The apprentice appeared infront of Esan.
"I challenge you!" Yelled the apprentice, pointing at Esan. Esan's eye was still glowing.
"Ok?" The apprentice jumped at Esan, his sword high. Esan quickly countered by dodging and slashing. Blood dripped from the apprentice's side. They continued to exchange blows. FubukiT fought the Dark Lord. Becca continued to rapidly fire arrows at the Dark Lord. She was able to control them and they followed the Dark Lord as he continued to dodge. FubukiT held his staff high, Becca knew what was going to happen. She quickly teleported, taking Esan, Kikyo, and even the apprentice outside the castle. Typhad stood in the hall, he saw from the huge hole flashing colors.
"This isn't good..." Said Typhad, yelling to the guards to evacuate at once.
"What trick do you plan to use now?" Asked the Dark Lord, he still grinned. FubukiT remained silent, intense power flowed from the orb on his staff. Cracks appeared on the walls. Even the Dark Lord seemed a little worried. His grin slowly shrank. First a ring of fire swirled around the orb, then lightning, then ice, then earth. Slowly, other elements and colors joined. FubukiT lowered his staff, the power coming off the staff created a small crater to appear under FubukiT. He stood on air. The Dark Lord just watched. "Taking quiet awhile to charge that little attack doesn't? Maybe I should attack while you char-" FubukiT appeared behind him.
"You'll never be able to land another hit." Said FubukiT, the colors now flowed around FubukiT.
"Is that so?" He slashed at FubukiT, FubukiT's image flickered. The sword went right through. FubukiT's staff was glowing bright. All around the chamber, cracks appeared on the sides. Static danced on the walls, fire erupted from the ground. Ice filled the cracks, all forming spikes. The ground under them shaked.
"I won't allow you to take another step into my kingdom!" Yelled FubukiT, slamming his staff into the ground. From outside the kingdom, Esan saw it light up. Pure energy shot from the ground, and surrounded the castle. An explosion followed, Becca fired arrows into the ground around the castle, causing ground is rise up. She was creating walls of earth.
"I hope FubukiT can control it this time..." Mumbled Becca.
"Huh?"
"This is the third kingdom we built..." Said Becca. "FubukiT gets carried away sometimes." A bright flash filled the area. Once the flash disappeared, they looked to what used to be a great kingdom, now just a crater. Inside the crater stood FubukiT and the Dark Lord. A red crack could be seen on the Dark Lord.
"You managed to wound me." Said the Dark Lord, grinning. "Good Job."
FubukiT was out of breath. He used his staff to hold himself up. "Heh, I guess this is why your called the Dark Lord." Said FubukiT, he was able to regain his balance and some strength. They both stood straight, looking into eachothers eyes. As if they were reading eachothers thoughts. The Dark Lord sighed, "I'll be back..." He walked out of the crater. Becca had one large arrow ready. The Dark Lord continued to walk, he turned to his apprentice. His grin gone, "You dissapoint me, Andrew. I thought you'd be stronger." He began to sinking into the ground, "Hopefully I'll find a stronger apprentice." Said the Dark Lord. Esan stood and stared. His right eye began to return to normal slowly. Andrew fell to his knees. He has been abandoned by his master. "Farewell." Becca fired the arrow, it split into 10 different arrows, each with a different elemental inside the tip. They hit the ground the Dark Lord sank into, causing an explosion. Esan covered himself, he noticed it was controlled, a nice neat crater.
"Don't worry, I can control my power much better then FubukiT. Said Becca, seeing Esan trying to guard against the predicted explosion. FubukiT appeared near them.
"He got away..." Bam! Becca hit him in the head.
"You destroyed the castle AGAIN!"
"I had to, in order to defeat the Dark Lord..."
"Not exceptable. You need to learn to control it, then your magic would probably be stronger." Said Becca, she sighed. "How are we going to repair the kingdom?" Asked Becca, staring at the large crater.
"I could try something..." Said Andrew, standing up. Everyone looked towards him. He walked over to the crater, holding his side. He held out his hand. An orb appear on his fist. He moved his hand in a circle. Suddenly the area glew. The kingdom began to appear from the ground up.
"How did you...?" Asked FubukiT, the rest of the group stared in awe.
"I wasn't chosen to be his apprentice for nothing." Replied Andrew. "I can break down and reverse time on materials..." The Kingdom looked good from the outside, though the hole in the throne room was still there. "It has to be very recent for me to recover it." FubukiT walked next to him.
"Good job." Said FubukiT with a thumbs up. Esan's stomache growled. He didn't eat anything in days. He ran into the castle towards the kitchen, the group followed. "So will you live here with us?" Asked FubukiT, the rest nodded.
"If theres room..." Replied Andrew, walking in. "But that Esan seems a bit...strange."
"Yah, but he's not bad. He may become powerful, though that will take some hellish training!" Said Becca from the back. FubukiT was grinning, cracking his knuckles.
"It could be fun..." Said FubukiT. Andrew just stared, What a strange group...
"WHERE'S ALL THE FOOD?!" Yelled Esan from the kitchen.
Andrew sighed, "I can't reconstruct everything."
FubukiT yawned. "We'll get more tomorrow. Becca, will you began to prepare the chamber for Esan?"
She nodded and stood in thin air. Looking down at the chamber. A floor shot from one side of the throne to the other. Typhad shook his hand. "I think it looks good." Said Typhad, walking in.
"Just as good as the other." Said Becca, she quickly summoned her bow. She fired arrows rapidly, almost at the speed of sound. Making a clean small cut across the floor. "Someone should be able to fit through this." Typhad began to work on it, so it would be able to close and open.
"So, Andrew, do you know where the Dark Lord stays?" Asked FubukiT as they walked into the kitchen. They found Esan chewing on raw meat. "No Esan, just because your hungry doesn't mean you can revert back to being a caveman..." He stared at the meat, suddenly it became cooked.
"Ahh..." Esan ate it quickly.
"He never told me, he gave me a small house in the forest..." Said Andrew, staring at Esan trying to swallow the whole piece of meat.
Esan burped. "So no clues? Oh, and FubukiT, when you said I would do the 100 door training more. Can I rest before it?"
"Of course, and don't worry, no more 100 door training for a bit."
"Really?" Exclaimed Esan, he was about the cheer.
"The new training will be far worse." Said FubukiT, cracking his knuckles again.
Esan gulped, and slowly tried to make his way out. He then stopped. "Well, onto another topic! Where will I stay?" Asked Esan, he was tired.
"Umm, thats a good question. On the second floor there are many rooms. Pick on that isn't already labeled as someone elses. You too Andrew."
Esan and Andrew walked up. "So what kind of training did you do with the Dark Lord?" Asked Esan, curious.
"He would just summon dark fiend after fiend."
"Thats like the 100 door training! I wonder what they have instore now..."
"By the way, whats your Soul Weapon?" Asked Andrew.
"Soul Weapon?"
"Everyone has one, that FubukiT's is the orb, and Becca's seems to be the bow and arrow."
"How do you get a 'Soul Weapon'?" Asked Esan, wondering what his weapon would be.
"Some hellish training. Thats most likely what they are going to put your through tomorrow."
Esan gulped. "Its not too bad right?"
"You'll see." Said Andrew, going into one of the rooms. Esan's eye twitched. He continued to walk down the hall, he found an unmarked room and went in. His eye twitched again,No bed... He sighed and just walked in. He lied of the floor. He found a tattered blanket and used it. He was afraid to try to take one from someone else's bedroom.

TOO BE CONTINUED! XD
