Hyphean Apocalypse Ch1, ver1
Ice. Ice everywhere. No matter where you look, you can only see ice and some snow beasts. And you might encounter a young sorcerer if you're lucky, or unlucky.
That's how one part of Hyphea's water area look. Hyphea, a small planet where no humans can reach, has six different areas, which are inhabited by no humans, only a few animals. The only exceptions are twelve young sorcerers who survived the apocalypse that happened 14 years before.
-I'm so bored. I can't sleep anymore, and nothing happens here! How can you expect anything to happen when you're surrounded by ice?! Huh? Tell me, Frost! Explain that to me! – Those were the words of a young sorcerer who lived in the ice. He was speaking to himself. His name was Frost. He was only 18 years old, but he was an expert with anything regarding snow and ice. He wore very bright, sky-blue sorcerer robes and with a long, dark blue cape. On his head he had a cap made of three pyramid-like parts, from where his long, blue hair was coming. His dark red eyes could tell that he's cold-hearted. He had a very long staff, with a blue crystal brawl on top of it, held by two pyramid-like parts similar to the ones on the cap, and a trident on the bottom. All that suited perfectly to his pale blue tan.
He stood in the middle of nowhere, looking around for a few minutes. Then, he suddenly pointed his staff below himself. The ice below him arose, lifting him up and making a ramp where one can easily slide.
-How didn't I come up with this earlier? Hyphea, you should put on some warm clothes, because the ice age is coming!!! – said Frost, laughing. Then, he pointed his staff to the roughly formed ice ramp, and suddenly, small ice crystals from it were scattered around, leaving the ramp flat as ironed. After that, once again, he lifted some ice from the ground and formed an ice snowboard the same way. –Here comes Frost!!! Wooooo-hooooo!!! – He put down the iceboard, jumped on it, and sled down the ramp.
He was going past the icy desert, fast like a bullet, jumping from iceberg to iceberg. Everything around him sparkled. The sun was shining that day and there was no wind nor clouds at all. A few snow wolves he passed by ran away after being splashed by the snow Frost sled on.
After a few minutes, he eventually reached a pretty big iceberg. He leaned forwartd, accelerated and sled towards it. Reaching the top, he jumped off. Now, below him, there was a huge sea. There was no ice, only water. It was flat and with no waves.
-Goodbye, ice desert! I'll come later with some more ice! Woo-hoo!!! – he shouted, holding the iceboard in the air in his left, and his staff in his right hand. The brawl on his staff glowed, and from it, an energy beam stroke the water down under, making it freeze. The staff continued to fire freezing beams further on, making a path. Frost landed with the iceboard on the just frozen part, and went on sliding on it. He was fascinated by what he saw. He never saw anything but ice before. He hated himself a bit for not knowing about the sea before. But yet, he was overflown with joy because he knew he won't be bored anymore. He went on at full speed, causing the water split behind him.
Suddenly, in front of him, a big wave arose. It headed straight towards him. -What is that?! – he asked himself, confused. It looked like an avalanche, only made of something unknown to Frost. He stopped immediately. He jumped off the iceboard, which sled into the water. Then he pointed his staff towards the wave, fired a massive ice beam and froze the whole wave. He still didn't quite realize what or how happened. Then, he heard a girl's voice screaming. Something was standing on top of the frozen wave. Frost jumped up on it to see what it is. And he was surprised again.
-HOW DARE YOU FREEZE MY BEAUTIFUL WAVE?! –cried the girl in his face as soon as he landed on the wave, causing him to lose balance and fall back down. The 14-year old girl also wore sorcerer robes. They were greenish-blue with fins on arms and legs. She had greenish blue hair of shoulder length. She had no staff, though. She used magic and manipulated water with her hands. Her name was Aqua.
Frost quickly regained his balance and froze some water under him to keep himfrom falling into it. He was now even more confused.
-I-I'm sorry... – said Frost, but wanted to ask her so many questions, but which simply didn't come out of his mouth. Aqua jumped down in front of Frost and started shouting at him.
-Well you should be!!! You could have frozen ME together with it! And now I have less water!!! Melt it! Melt it NOW!!!
-But... but wait, I got to ask you something...
-No buts! I said NOW!!!
Frost sighed. He removed the magic effect caused by his staff. The wave then went on flowing towards the two. Aqua screamed again, and crouched. She was usually above the wave, not below, not to mention that she was standing on ice. Frost wasn't worried, though; he made an ice barrier around them, and the wave went into the sea with a big splash, causing the icy path to break in thousand pieces. The two stood alone on the small part of ice, seeing nothing around them, but the sea.
The sky was red. Everywhere lava rivers and stone. The fire area.
-Blaze! Some changes happened in the water area. Looks like some two sorcerers met. – Pyro, a 14 year old sorcerer, in shiny, blood-red robes, and short, red hair. He had the ability to feel when and where do the sorcerers meet anywhere on Hyphea. Also, he could turn into a phoenix.
-Hmm... looks like the lazy boy is finally on the move! - Blaze, the fire sorceress, was 17 years old, and wore not very usual, red sorcerer robes with a very small, green cape. She had a beautiful body. Above her breasts it was uncovered, except that she wore a collar with a small, green brawl on it. Her eyes were bright green which shone like emeralds. On her legs, she had reddish-white tights and red boots, the same red color as her robe. Her staff was short, red, with a green brawl held by four spikes on the top, and a similar, but smaller brawl held by three spikes on the bottom. She had a pointed cap with a green spiral on it. It was only attached on her back to her long, blonde hair.
-Let's go and see what's happening there, shall we, Pyro?-
Pyro nodded, and immediately flames spreaded over his body, making him turn into a phoenix. Not very big one, but big enough so that he can carry a human on his back. Blaze jumped onto him. The two flew up, and went towards the water area.
