Tales of a Soul Servant
This weeks featured story is called Tales of a Soul Servant by our very own flash33.
Chapter 1: The Beginning.
Everyone knows the story of Malistaire Drake and how he tried to bring his wife back from the dead. That's one story; but now, here's another one.
???: Wake up, wake up, it's time to wake up.
Prandine (awakens): Wh-where, am I?
???: You are in the crown of fire.
Prandine: The, crown of, fire?
???: Yes; this is where you were defeated at along with Malistaire Drake.
Prandine: I was defeated here? x gasps x (flashes back to a battle with a group of wizards facing him and defeating him).
Prandine: That was weird. If I was really defeated, then how am I standing here?
???: All your questions will be answered, in time (voice fades away).
Prandine: Hello, are you still there? hello? ... who was that? At any rate, I'd better start exploring if I wanna get my answers.
(Several mintues later...)
Prandine (at the upper great spyre): There seems to be nothing here, except for a crystal and some chests. Maybe they will give me some answers.
Prandine (at crystal): This looks like a good a place as any to start. x activates crystal x
(Crystal shows images of a cave, an altar, and a dragon, then vanishes back into the podium)
Prandine: Woah, that was, strange. I have a feeling that these will lead me to some answers, but first, I'll check these chests.
Prandine (at one of the chests): Hopefully this chest will tell me what I want to know.
(Suddenly the chest starts to glow red, and a red smoke appears from the chest. The smoke appears in the center of the platform behind prandine, and takes on the form of a helephant)
Gurtok Firebender: I am Gurtok Firebender, who dares disturb my slumber? x looks over at prandine x ah, Prandine, how have you been?
Prandine: Do I, know you?
Gurtok Firebender: Prandine, what's happened to you? It's me, Fire.
Prandine: I-I, argh, I feel like I should know you but for some reason I can't remember.
Fire: I can see your having trouble remembering who I am. Here, let's get Piercer and then we'll talk.
Prandine: Piercer, that's the person in the other chest, right?
Fire: Correct; he's also my brother, and I'm sure he can help us out as well.
Prandine: Alright, I'll summon him.
(Prandine and Fire walk over to other platform, the chest glows blue, and blue smoke appears from the chest and goes to the middle of that platform, forming another helephant, but with a different color).
Gurtok Piercer: I am Gurtok Piercer, who summons me from my slumber? x looks at fire x Fire, how are you my brother?
Fire: Fine, Piercer, but our friend Prandine is not.
Piercer: How so?
(time passes)
Prandine: I see, so somehow being reborn damaged my memory.
Fire: Looks like it.
Prandine: I must recover my memory.
Piercer: Well let us help you out.
Prandine: You sure you want to help me?
Fire: It's the least we could do.
Prandine: Thank you, my friends. Then to the cave we go.
(Will our trio find Prandine's memory as well as find out who the mysterious voice is? Find out next time on Tales of a Soul Servant).
