   all better. + new chapter

I'm all better. :D turns out the TWO MONTHS thing was only for that i can't eat salad, apples, bananas, peanuts, spinach, brocolli, celery, peanut butter, or any vegetables, or fruit, cuz they will make my stomach start to slow down again. guess who's gonna be gaining some weight? XP anywho, I'm posting a new chapter of my story (sorry it took so long, feel free to hit me with a wet sponge, lash me with a wet noodle, and sell my tears on Ebay) where we last left off, for those who don't remember, we just revealed Dimitrius' evil PLOT to get a special BOOK. and, for some reason, both Nathan and dimitrius are looking for the same person, each thinks the other has, (uh oh, Kingdom hearts similarties?! Not for long!!!) ************************************************* Master "Hey buddy, come on, wake up!" Jordan was frantically trying to wake up Nathan, but nothing seemed to work. Just then Danny walked in. He noticed something was up. "Hey, what's going on?" he asked. "Nathan won't wake up, no matter what we try," explained Craig. "I think I have something that will wake him up," said Danny, "wait here." "Whatever, as long as it works." Said Jordan absently. Danny ran down the stairs. From Nathan's room, they could hear some banging and something like a hiss. Danny reappeared at the doorway holding something behind his back. He looked around the room. "I will have to ask you all to back up," he said a little too dramatically. Everyone stepped back. Danny looked at Nathan, then fingered whatever it was that was behind his back. He seemed to be arguing with himself whether he should do whatever he was going to do or not. Then he came to a conclusion. He took back whatever it was behind his back, and dumped a bucket of water over Nathan's head. Nathan jerked up. He spluttered and choked and as soon as all the water was out of his mouth, he started screaming. "DIMITRIUS!" he screamed. "Relax! Relax, Nathan, don't worry, there are no Saryidons here that are going to hurt you," coaxed Craig. "But, Dimitrius! He betrayed me, he betrayed Keri, he betrayed himself! Worst of all, he's using darkness as a weapon, and he claims to work for a Saches person! He makes me sick, I'm so angry, I'd like to give him a swift kick in the…" "What’s all the racket up here?" asked Safor, he had just appeared in the doorway. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" "Safor! It's us! Jordan, Craig, and Nathan!" said Jordan. "It is? Oh ho! So it is! Sorry about that, it's dark and I couldn't see your faces. But anyway, what's all the noise?" "That’s okay. Nathan here, he's kind of in a shock. He just found out that his best friend, has betrayed him, he claims to work for someone named Saches. Does that name ring a bell?" Safor's face paled. "Surely, heh…heh, there must be some kind of mistake? I mean, there is no chance that this Dimitrius person actually works for someone named Saches, is there? Heh heh…" "You know something, don't you?" said Nathan. "Aye, I do. How about we go downstairs and I whip up some tea?" * "You see, Saches is a very powerful and dangerous sorcerer. He is bent on destroying all Sections only to rebuild them into the original Earath, only it is to his liking, and to his ruling. He is mad, and thinks that Saryidons are wonderful, caring, loving creatures, that are actually here to help us, but they are actually here to destroy us. Anyway, I defeated him over four hundred years ago," explained Safor, once his tea was ready. "Four, hundred, years ago?" repeated Nathan. "Yes, isn't that what I said? Anyway," he stirred his cup in his three fingered hand. When I banished him to the Realm of Saryidons, the last thing he said before he was sucked in completely was, ‘I shall not stop until my goal is achieved.” Then said after breaking up the Earath into what we now know as the Sections separated by the sea, ‘My work here, is done.’ and then he was gone. Of course, I never believed him, once you are banished into the Realm of Saryidons, only ones love can bring them back. And I can't think of anyone who would love someone as devious and twisted as him." "Creepy," said Nathan, "Just plain creepy. And my best friend works for this person? I simply cannot believe it." "Well, the only problem we have here is that Saches was brought back, obviously by someone more powerful. But who?" said Safor. "Only problem? Your brain cells must be dying. Another problem is that my friend is using darkness as his weapon of choice!" said Nathan. "Yes, forgive me, you are correct. However, you must agree that Saches' return is more important than your friend turning to darkness, correct?" said Safor. "Well… yeah, but… oh, never mind. You're right. That is more important. My friend isn't capable of mass destruction, is he? But still…" Nathan drifted away. "I know this must be hard for you. Having your only old friend in the Sections betray you. It must be hard," said Jordan, patting his back in comfort. Nathan stood up, ad wordlessly marched up to his room. * Nathan sat in his bed, thinking. Why did Dimitrius think that he had Keri hostage? Why? Why? Why? The question drilled it's way through his brain. WHY did Jordan think that Dimitrius was his only friend? WHY had Saches return? WHY is he targeting him? WHY not someone else? This was all very confusing. Nathan sat there, letting all of his thoughts flood through his brain. Sometimes the quickest way to figure something out is not try to figure it out. He sat there, motionless. Dead to the world around him. He sniffed and rubbed some remaining tears from his eyes. Someone knocked on the door. "Go away!" said Nathan. "Hello?" answered Safor's voice. "Oh, it's you. Come in," said Nathan. The door creaked open and Safor walked in, smiling. His eye's held an obvious twinkle to them. "Nathan, you're going to love what I'm going to say," he said excitedly. "What?" "I just looked at the crystal that belongs to the sword bearer, its going crazy!” he said. "That's brilliant!" "Come on! Let's get downstairs," said Safor. * When they got to the chamber, Jordan and Craig were already there. The amulet was going crazy inside the glass box! It was glowing from red, to blue, to green, to purple, to yellow. Safor quickly undid the box, and handed the amulet to Nathan. The crystal sent an odd feeling down Nathan's arms. It was like nothing he had ever felt before. It felt like he had found a long lost brother, or even parent. Somehow, the amulet felt at home with him. All of a sudden, the amulet began to glow white, and it began to get scorching hot! The amulet began to grow longer, then it began to take shape into something sharp. The glow from the crystal shot up his arm. Nathan shouted. It was burning him! He tried to drop it, but it was no use, it was stuck on his hand. And then suddenly, it was over. The glow faded, and the burning feeling stopped abruptly. In Nathan's hand there was a sword. All along his arm were white markings, all looking like something you'd find in nature. There was one that looked like a river, one that looked like a lighting bolt, one that looked like a mountain, and so on. "Whoa…" breathed Safor, "I never thought I'd see the sword bearer come to be… but now…" "Hey! This thing scarred my arm!" said Nathan. "Oh, don't worry about those, they go away once the sword has a certain, er… look at the sword blade," said Safor. "Okay…" Nathan looked at the sword. Along the blade were little carvings in the blade. They were the same shape as the white markings on his arm. "There are little carvings like on my arm, so what?" "Well, you can't cast any spells until you get magic crests. When you get magic crests, you put them into the carvings. When you put them into the carving, it becomes part of the sword. When it becomes part of the sword, the white mark on your arm goes away. It's very simple." "Right, simple," muttered Danny. "Hm? Did you say something Danny?" asked Safor. "Nothing! I mean nothing… he, he…" stuttered Danny. "Good. Anyway, those things will go away soon enough. I even have one of the crests myself. Now let's see… hm… where'd I put that thing?" said Safor and fished around in his pocket. "Aha! Here we are, the crest of lightning. Here you go," he exclaimed when he found it. He pulled a small yellow stone that had been carved into the shape of a lightning bolt. It wasn't too special, just an ordinary yellow rock that you might find on a trail, but if he said this was that crest of lightning, then it probably was. He handed the small rock to Nathan. He looked up and down the sword blade. There! There was a small carving that looked exactly like the stone. Nathan carefully slipped the crest into place. It fit perfectly. There was a small white glow on Nathan's arm, and the shape of a lightning bolt faded away. Meanwhile, on the sword, the crest glowed white too and melted away into the sword. "There, now the lightning bolt on your arm will only show up for a brief twelve seconds when you cast the lightning spell. So don't worry about that, but the symbol on your hand stays forever. It's a complicated Sections," declared Safor. Nathan looked at his hand. There was the oddest symbol on his hand. It looked like a lightning bolt with water, fire; and who knows what other elements, put together. It was white, just like the symbols on his arm, but it was larger than those markings, taking up his entire palm. "And," said Safor "now that the three Gargontha Guardians have been united; the training, begins." ************************************************* pretty nice, eh? please tell me how to fix it, if it needs any...fixations.
