He
replied.
“ How could I ever forget
you?”
“ Stranger things have happed, for
all I know you could have fallen off the mountain and hit your head
so hard that you forgot who you were.”
“ It’s nice to see you’re still the
same optimistic butterfly that I knew before.”
“ Smalls, Zelphan, this is not the
time for this. We must go, our presence is known by creatures that
wish us harm.” Petre said.
Smalls landed on Zelphan’s shoulder, and once
again he followed Petre through a maze of moves. He was delighted
that smalls was coming with him. The butterfly was tiny, but he
could shine a light that was so bright it canceled out all
darkness. Smalls saved his life one day using that
skill.
After a while Zelphan was instructed to close
his eyes and when he opened them he stood on the side of a road.
The stone that was used in the road was the size of a house. The
buildings that stood on either side made Zelphan feel like an ant.
He was in the land of the giants, and he knew this time who they
were about to see. A giant by the name of Oren lived here, and
Zelphan was excited to see him.
The first time Zelphan came upon the city of
giants he was terrified. So scared, in fact, he avoided it all
together, and it was the exact place he needed to go. Oren
possessed the sword before Zelphan did, and he was taken aback at
how friendly the Giant was. He couldn’t imagine such a gentle
creature going to battle with him, but if that’s what the wind had
instructed Oren to do, then that’s what would happen.
When they reached the Giant’s home, Zelpahn
ran up and gave the giant a hug, wrapping his arms around his leg
as best as he could. The giant laughed a deep hearty laugh, nodded
at Petre and they were off again, traveling through the lines of
time.
The time came for Zelphan to close his eyes
and when he opened them he was in an unfamiliar place. Before him
he could see big ominous mountains, the sky around them was dark.
In fact the town itself had a darkness that seemed to loom over
it.
Townsfolk bustled in the street, carrying
piles of wooden boxes with food and other supplies inside. The word
siege hit Zelphan’s ears, and a phrase, “Ebulon is doomed.” Came
from somewhere in the crowd. He looked at Oren next to him, nodded
at Smalls, and shared a worried look with Xazaz. They seemed like a
misfit group, but they were summoned to fight for Ebulon. He knew
the wind made no mistakes, and he hoped that they all possessed the
skills to help the kingdom. He didn’t want to think about what it
would mean if they fail.
“ This is where I leave you.” Petre
said and gave them all a hug before he began walking in one of his
weird patterns. Soon he disappeared and Zelphan hoped he would see
him again. The foursome nodded at each other and set off into town
looking for a place to eat and sleep for the night.
Xazaz, Smalls, Oren and Zelphan went from
tavern to tavern looking for
accommodations. Mixed in with the fear and
darkness that loomed over Ebulon, there seemed to be an unusual
amount of outsiders. The foursome were not the only ones called to
Ebulon, there were many many more who answered the kingdom’s
desperate call. Zelphan, Xazaz and Smalls were able to stay in a
room together but there wasn’t a place for a giant to stay. Oren
was offered the back garden from a friendly Ebulonite by the name
of Tinzy. She apologized for not having anything more comfortable
for him, and explained that her husband has been busy in the armory
preparing for battle. She advised the crew to check in there so
that they could be properly suited, although she didn’t know what
they would do for the bird and butterfly. They thanked her and
worked their way to the gaurds keep.
“Please state your business” The armed guard
said.
“ We were called to defend Ebulon, I
was told an army of ocrs are on their way.” Zelphan
answered.
“ Yes, they are follow me and I will
take you to be fitted for
replied.
“ How could I ever forget
you?”
