Amethyst Arc whose official title I really can't be bothered to
remember
DIR By: Kiera Pearson
Date: November 1, 2013, 1:31 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
She ran. Her fists pumped and her heart rate soared as she
sprinted though the streets of Glenton. The late summer sun was
hot on her back and she ran faster. Heavy footsteps pounded
behind her and she knew that she would be caught if she didn't
run faster. The fountain was in sight- her safe haven from the
monster who followed her. In a few more paces she would be safe
and free. Suddenly she tripped but not wanting to miss a beat
she started to roll. The cobbled floor hurt her as she rolled
for her life. 'Keep rolling, come on, keep rolling' she thought
until she was roughly jerked upright and off the floor.
"Well well well, Kiera Pearson- it seems I've finally caught
you. Glove will be very pleased with this." there was a sparkle
in his eye as Pansy relished in all the tortures he could
concoct for the miscreant before him. Kiera glanced down to the
floor and on the realseation that her captor was worng, a great
grin broke over her face. It was slapped off. "Why are you
smiling, you insolent fool?"
"Look down and see for yourself. This is my home turf and you
can't legally arrest me on in so ner ner ner ner nerrrr
neeeeeeerrrr!" Kiera stuck her tongue out and kicked her captors
shins. He dropped her and she landed with all the grace she
could muster on her feet. "That's right, go back to your freak
show and tell 'em Kiera escaped, again." A cloud of rage passed
through the eyes of Pansy. He drew a breath and all the dignity
her could summon.
"You will be brought to justice for your constant avoidance of
our justice/ legal systems, Miss Pearson, " he spat, "and mark
these words, I will enjoy bringing your punishment."
"Umm sorry, I didn't hear any English just then- all I heard was
'aow aow aow'" Kiera slapped her hands together in an impression
of a seal, which, funnily enough, Pansy closely resembled.
He scowled at her and muttered curses under his breathe as be
slunk back to the hole from whence he came. Kiera let out a loud
sigh. That had been close even for her standards. She spun on
her heel and stalked back to the Amethyst tower where she would
find her little sister, Emily. Emily was to turn 12 that autumn
and was to be accepted as an official citizen later that month.
It was a purely ceremonial ceremony seeing as Emily was acting
tribal leader of the Amethyst tribe already. Kiera ignored the
hussel and busel around her as she weaves through the crowds
around her. She finally turned into the final alley way that led
to the back entrance to the tower. She considered scaling the
walls for fun but decided against it, considering her shaky
start to this year (Glenton ran on a bizarre system of years
that started in the autumn). She trudged up the stairs of the
tower, spiralling up and up to the tower's top rooms. Home sweet
home.
"Em, I'm home, in one piece and I seriously owned The Monkey
Seal today." Silence came back, "Em?" This wasn't usual. Kiera
dumped down her bag and searches the few rooms they lived in.
Emily wasn't in. Kiera shrugged and pulled out a note book she
kept constantly in her bag to keep within the law and began to
systematically to work through how to avoid completing each one
of them.
***
"She did /what/?!" Emily pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I'm just telling what I saw, Em." Danielle sat next to her best
friend.
"She's gonna get herself banished, exiled or killed by the end
of the year" Danielle frowned,
"What's the difference between exiled and banished?"
"Who cares- either way she'll be out of Glenton for good." They
were sat in Glenton hall- their usual haunt- preparing for the
'acceptance ceremony' the next day.
"this whole 'acceptance thing is a load of tripe! I've been
working for this tribe since I was nine and now they wanna
'officially recognise my contribution,'" Emily made air quote
marks as she quoted the notice that she had received the
previous week, "I mean, yeah they do it every year but why do I
need to wait until I'm 12 (pretty much) to be officially a
citizen. The whole system is stupid." she ran her hand through
her hair, recently cut short. She didn't like it.
"Well, not that this hasn't been great but I'm gonna go now-
anyway, you best go check on your sister. She's had a bit of a
streak of causing trouble recently." Emily signed. Danielle was
right, again.
***
if you see mistakes you all have modifying power anyway so sort
it out yourself and shove a note down here
yeah, enjoy

"Kiera, I'm home!" Emily slammed the door behind her. Kiera
rushed down the stairs to greet her sister.
"Where have you been? I've had a heck of a day and I've been
dying to tell you baout it!" Emily sighed. Kiera had always been
so verey excitable.
"Dannielle told me everything-"
"Yeah but not fromm my point of view and you know how exciting I
make my stories. I kicked him in the shins and everything!"
"And you will pay for it later- I'm telling you Kiera karma will
catch up to and you'll end up out of Glenton for good!"
Kiera shrugged off the comment- "I'll be fine- I've done worse."
"You've done worse than kicking a teacher in the shins and
handing his pompous rear end to him on a platter." Kiera paused
"Yeeeeeeeessssss?"
"That sounded more like a question. ANyway- this treaty with the
order is throwing up all kinds of promlems you know! we have to
keep amending it and all stupid things like taht and I know
they're breaking it all behind our backs."
"They're cheating snakes and they all need to be cast out like
the vermini they are."
"Yes, we all know that but we can't exactly do that after last
year."
"But that was fun. Come on Emily- we all know that their
planning to take over all ove Glenton and have us slving awqay
all day, every day until our fingers bleed and our minds burst."
"And you think I'm not trying to stop that?!"
"YOu think you can do anything about it?!"
"Fair point."
"thank you." Kiera turned around and tropotted back up the
stairs to annoy magna- her pet genie ellephant in a lamp that
was thrown at her when she was younger than Emily. Kiera rubbed
the side of it and the room filled with the smoke that precceed
the apperence of the creature.
"What is it? You don't look injured and you don't have anybody
else with you so what do you want?"
"Oh, so I have to wish to have a friendly conversation?" The
elephant raised wat could be an eyebrow but you never know with
the strange and varied wildlife that surrounded Glenton.
"No, but when do you ever want to just have a friendly
conversation?"
"I guess...." Kiera trailed off, playing with the tassle of a
cushion, "What do you do in your lamp all day?" Magna was taken
aback- noboady ever asked her about any to do with her personal
life, if you could call it that.
"Not a lot, I just amarinate in magic-"
"marinate.... marinate..... hmmm I could use that in an
insult... but how?" Kiera tapped her chin, oblivious to whatever
Magna was trying to convey through her facial expression,
"SHAME! Go marinate in shame- That's brilliant! Thanks Magna,
you're the best and you know what, that doesn't even count as a
wish- this is the best day ever!"
"Oh really, what makes it the best day ever, other than gaining
a new insult for free?"
"I avoided yet another work quota hand in and kicked Pansy in
the shins AND called him a seal to his face via impressions. How
about that?"
"How about that.... well, if that's all I'll be off then-
you''ll ned to sleep too, I can sense troub,e in the days ahead"
and with that Magna retreated into her lamp.
The sun shone the next morning and Kiera rose with it. Today was
the Acceptence Ceremony- yawn! She had to attend it for her
sister's sake. Kiera put on her usual 'uniform' of brown
trousers, purple shirt (to show tribal pride) and a green jacket
(to show village pride). She tied her long brown hair in to two
bunches and grabbed her bow. Her quiver and longbow were propped
up against the door frame. She left a note in her unusal scrawl
saying she would be back later and left without EMily hearing a
peep.
***
Once down on the archery range, Kiera started with the usual 10
meter targets for a quiver load then moved steadily down the
field. She hit the bullseye all but once and it was this one
shot that Rita Arthurs had to walk in on.
"Well well well, looks like you're losing your touch, Pearson."
there was a whistle as another went into the c entre of the
target, mainking light work of the straw back.
"Unlike some, I can weild both a bow and a sword to some degree
of expertise. I would like to see you get a recored like that."
Kiera gestured to the target streching back over the field.
"Pff, amuter more like- I could slay you in your sleep." Rita
pointed her sword at Kiera's throat for emphasis.
"But I could do it from such a distance no one would know it was
me." Kiera dismissed her as a 'threat' and continued with her
shooting.
"They can track which direction an arrow came from." Another
arrow hit the mark.
"But I won't need to go past every one on my way out and I won't
have a blood stained murder weapon in my hands" A smirk found
its way on to Kiera's face.
"YOu can never be sure if I'm dead." Rita inflected with a tilt
of the head.
"Ever heard of poison, you should drink a bottle or 5" Kiera
smiley a sickly sweet smile.
"I can poison anytime I want, with the amount you eat." a dull
thud puncuated her point.
"But that shows nothing of your skill in swordsmanship." whistle
thud
"You'd be too dead to argue, anyway Pearson, the way you've been
treating the scum reffered to as 'The Order' you'll be long gone
before I can do anything fatal enough." thud thud thud, Rita's
sword pounded the dummy.
"Like you wouldn't do the same, Arthurs, if you were held by the
scruff of the neck. Well, seeing your height, I would doubt
there's anyone who could drag you up off your feet." whistle
whistle whistle
"Exactly!" thud thud thud, went the target.
"But it means you have further to go if someone drags you down
by your hair, kinda like this." and with that Kiera pulled Rita
to the ground. Before she could gloat her feet were swept from
under her.
"Oooofh!" the air raced out of Kiera's lungs as she lay on the
floor, winded.
"How d'ya like that, Pearson."
"I have nothing to prove to you, now if you'll excuse me, I have
a pointless ceremony to prepare for." Kiera drew herself up with
as much dignity as she could muster, coughed several times and
stalked off, still trying to fill her empty lungs.

pff chapter breaks
***
The room was dark and smokey. Two figures sat amongst candles
and dressed in hooded robes. The room was unbearably hot for any
normal human but an occultist with a goal does not fall into
that catagory. From a window, another two figures stood.
"I am sorry master, she alluded my by a mere foot. We do,
however have a chance to claim her sister after today's
ceremony."
"You have no faith in your brethren? They work tirelessly day
and night searching for a way in that they are conscious of. As
of yet they have no results but they are getting closer. Assure
me you can get me one of their measly tribe members that is
highly ranked enough to have knowledge of what we seek."
"I swear it, master."
"Good. This dream world they so greatly treasure will soon fall
beneath us. From there, it will be only a few days before we can
have they begging for us to release them-"
"And our price would be the other half of Glenton?"
"In due time, first they must sell us their souls."
Their low, throaty chuckles reverberated through the spines of
the hooded figures, searching for their way into the dream
world.
***
Grubby, covered in grass and soil, fingers raw from the twanging
of her bow string and out of breath was exactly how Kiera
entered Glenton square, ready to see her sister's acceptance.
She carefully avoided crossing over to any territory marked as
the Order's (even though the square was marked as completely
neutral) and chose a seat where she could see the makeshift
stage and could run back to the tower at a moment's notice. A
fanfare started and the ceremony began.
Pansy stepped onto the stage along with Elder Nallen of Glenton.
"Greetings, Here we are: another acceptance ceremony of another
group of exceptional young people. Yet this time, we can gladly
welcome Elder Pansy as a Elder of our village. Please welcome
him," There was a splattering of half hearted claps as Pansy
soaked up any attention that was directed at him, "also, these
new citizens have already been part of the running of Glenton ,
making them our most exception bunch yet!" The clapping was more
enthusiastic this time.
Behind the stage, High Priest Glove searched the hundreds of
excitable 11 year olds for the acting leader of Amethyst.
Unfortunately for him, Emily was stood next to Danielle. Emily
and Danielle were known for their many similarities-
inteligence, height, hair colour, fashion sense and style of
talking. In fact, many people have mistaken them to be sisters,
twins or the other person. Glove spied the two and cursed,
knowing he would have to draw nearer to their conversation and
risk revealing himself to tell them apart. He wondered why he
didn't just ask one of his many disposable minions before
realising none of them would be competent enough to pull off
such an elk attar kidnapping plan as he had concocted. He vowed
to train more minions.
***
Kiera yawned- this was the most boring thing ever. She would
rather be doing house work or something actually meaningful
although tedious. The two elders blathered on and on; Pansy was
a pompous as ever and elder Nallen was as engaging as ever. As
to say not at all. Kiera was about to fall Salerno when they
finally called up 'the exceptional cohort of bright young minds'
as Pansy referee to them. Kiera didn't like the word cohort- it
kinda made Glenton sound like a brothel. Or a group of zebras.
Either works. The first group of 11 year olds walked onto the
stage.
***
"Em, you know that guy in the corner? I think he has 'sinister
motives'" drama queen Dannielle looked conspicuously from side
to side, as if searching for eavesdroppers or others who would
overhear their conversation.
"And what makes you say that, huh?" Skeptic Emily put her hands
in her hips and raised an eyebrow.
"He's been trying to get closer to our conversation every time
we look away- and he's wearing order robes."
"And what do you suggest we do about it? The Order would
probably be after me cause, you know, tribe leader and all so
how do we stop them?"
"Easy," and she began to whisper conspirtly in her ear.
***
Pansy rubbed his hands together to cover his bubbling
excitement- soon, so soon, he could wreck havoc in a whole other
dimension! Emily's group was the next to b accepted and, once
she left the stage she was as good as theirs. The troup marched
up, not knowing that in a years time they would remember this
and hang their head in shame. Pansy smiled a wicked grin- show
time!
***
Kiera watched with intent, knowing she could sleep after Emily
had gone on. The smalle kids made they way across the stage
until the first person had traversed it all. Thy stopped and
faced the audience. Elde Nallen placed his hand on the shoulder
of Rachel each student no wait villager to be and officially
pronounced them (insert name here) a citizen of Glenton. He
finally read out Emily's name and Kiera frowned- Emily's best
friend stood there instead and no body even blinked. He
continued down the line and Kiera was readying her bow: if
something was wrong -and- she was gonna shoot it.
-**
Dannielle walked off the stage in the same manner Emily would-
calmly and in control. She entered backstage only to be tanked
out of line by the hooded Mann from earlier.
"Emily, is it? Good. I was wondering if you'll come with me for
a minute to discuss what to do about your... Troublesome
sister."
Dannielle blinked several times before agreeing, not believing a
word he said. On the way out she caught Emily's eye and gave a
thumbs up- the plan was working.
***
((Will be in Latin))
(("Hat the heck do you think you are doing? This is not a stupid
game, Emily, where is Dannielle anyway? What wee you
thinking?!")) needless to say, Kiera was angry.
"Two words- The. Order. ((Here is not the place, come))"
Emily grabbed Kiera's wrist and dragged her towards Glenton Hall
"Whoa whoa whoa! I can't go in there," Kiera leaned down to
Emily's ear and in a melodramatic whisper continued, "That's
Order territory!"
"Oh grow up! Everyone is allowed in Glenton Hall ((besides, he
can't arrest anyone in there.))"
"((Oh shut up you and tell me why you decided to play a
practical joke!))"
"((I can't do both.))" Emily smirked, knowing she'd won.
"The latter, if you please, sister dear."
"SSSHHH!!! ((Some one was watching us. He was in the Robes of
the order and up to no good. We decided to swap places and when
Dannielle walked off stage, the hooded freak took her. It was
meant to be me- now you are going to help me rescue her))"
before Kera could reply, Erica- the well loved musical genius of
the Amber tribe- walked up.
"Hey!"
"Wanna help us bust someone out of custody, possibly jail?"
Emily face palmed.
"Wanna be in the next play?"
"Deal." And the newly formed trio huddled to formulate a plan.
***
"You've got the wrong girl." Two heads snapped towards Latyor,
her long, blonde hair hung inside her hood, filling it. In her
hand was a pipe, filled with a smoking substance.
"How do you know? You are merely a trainer, must I remind you?"
Glove looked at the women, trying to convey his contempt. She
didn't give him a second look and say down.
"That's why I know- I train Emily, I also train. Dannielle. They
look very similar, I'll give you that but really, you should
have just let some one like, I don't know- a mere trainer who
knows the kids by name- to fetch her. She's still in Amethyst
though and no doubt Emily will come to 'rescue' her." Both men
looked at her, dumbfounded. They didn't think that they could be
out smarted by both a child and a lesser member.
"We shall continue as usual. She needn't know that we know her
true identity."
"Good, at least there is some sense in our glorious leaders,"
Latyor took a long drag of her pipe, " do you have a back up
plan in case your," she paused, " fool proof plan fails?" Of
looks could kill, Latyor would have been killed twice on the
spot, but thankfully, for story purposes, they didn't and she
lived to say:
"What? It's inevitable really, I mean, you were out smarted by
two 11 year olds today and it's not the first time, is it? The
Pendragon Reincarnation? She's now one of your more formidable
foes. The under ground city? It's been over run by thrives and
out laws! When you kidnaped the entire village it was freed by
your own creation, a red haired nerd and a wanna be ninja who
nearly died trying help. Last year? The Glenton Treaty was you
grasping at the falling straws if you controlling all of
Bournemouthshire! You still can't catch a teenager who openly
mocks you and questions your authority. The best you can do is
let someone with true field experience have a go at getting you
what you want. Ie me." The truth of her words hit the two men.
"Go, do what you must. You know what we want," Latyor got up to
leave but Glove grabbed her collar and brought her to look at
his face, "and if you fail me, you will be cast out."
"Yes master, Long Live The High Priest."
***
Back with the intrepid trio, their plan had been sprung into
action with the older girls entering the hall from the grand
entrance while Emily snuck in upswing the window into the privy
around the back of the building. Unfortunately, the girls didn't
foresee the window being too high for the short 11 year old to
reach. Instead she used a small back entrance. The girls never
knew how close they were to being spotted- the privy was
occupied!
They met up outside the kitchens (Kiera's idea) and nodded in a
silent affirmation of what they were about to do. They walked
silently down the corridor, sticking to the shadows where
possible. Well, Erica and Emily did, Kiera's gait was more of a
side stepping crab like action as she tried (ad failed) to
fulfil her dreams to be a ninja. Erica was trained by her father
(a Topazian ninja himself and while Erica was not a fully
actualised ninja, she had mad ninja skills anyway) while Emily
owed her grace to her dancing. They reached the rooms that held
the order after the treaty was made without much of an incident
(Kiera walked straight in to some one but fortunately they
happens to end up with the back of their head knocked against
the wall. They later regained consciousness in heap on the floor
of the nearest cupboard). They all pressed an ear to the wooden
door.
"What do you think of the power the order now holds, Miss
Pearson, Erica, Kiera?" The three girls jumped and turned around
at the same time. The voice belonged to Latyor, an order member
with long blonde hair and had a smile constantly on her face.
"Wait, I'm a Pearson too? Why can't I be reffered to as Miss
Pearson?!" Emily inwardly face palmed.
"Shut. up." She spat through gritted teeth.
"I think it is restricting to civil liberties that belong to
citizens by right." Erica held her head high, always being
academic as well as quick thinking.
"That's intersetiong. Emily?"
"It isn't ideal but it's what must be done."
"Very wise, Kiera?"
"Well, my opinion doesn't much differ from these two but I do
hold one complaint." Latyor raised an eyebrow
"And pray tell, what is that?"
"What right does the Order have to detain a member of Glenton
who was on neutral territory in Glenton hall, even if they were
suspected to be the |Tribal leader of one of the tribes?" Erica
and Emily both thought thoughts along the same vein- 'Kiera is
an idiot.'
"I will show you. You see, we only wanted to ask you sister here
for details about your tribe so we can better have a say in
Glenton's workings due to cultural eduacation, however we ended
up with Miss Dannielle instead as their places were swapped in
the acceptance ceremony. Do you know how this happened, Emily?"
There was s ubtle icey undertone to her voice that was screaming
the challenge 'lie to me and I will destroy you'. Emily lied
anyway.
"Oh, we were stood next to each other, just talking when a
backstage steward ushered on Dannielle instead of me, mistaking
us for each other, no dobt. I tried to argue with him and tell
him of his mistake but he simply said I could talk to my friend
after we had both been accepted. I didn't see her afterwards so
We came to Glenton Hall."
"Oh really, and how do you knwo she is here?"
"I saw her being dragged here by Glove."
"ITERESTING. Follow me and I can take you to your friend, but
please, Emil, do you mind staying so we can have a chat on the
cultral point of interst of your tribe?"
"Yes ok, just take us to Dannielle."
they walked along in reltive silence.
"What are you thinking- you know she was lying through her teeth
the entire time!" Kiera hissed to Emily.
"It's my duty as acting tribal leader- something you clearly
on't understand!" Emily shot back.
"Calm down you two! We'r gonna ghet your friend back and you're
gonna have your chat with the order and you are goning to be in
the musical play we are putting on."
"Did I reallly agree to that? Who's prcastating it this year?"
Kiera braced herself, waiting for an answer she already knew
"Connelly, as usual. But she's goning to be helped by Hctep this
year for the dancing and the like. Exciting, right?"
"Riiiight..." Needless to say Kiera was being sarcastic.
***
Yeah, this is a bit back and too but I like it
I wrote it in the car on my iPod for the most part or write or
die and that does woders for the word count but nothing for the

They continued down the corridor. Suddenly Latroy stopped and
wrapped on a door.
"Who is it?" came the muffled voice on the other side.
"Latyor, I have 3 girls looking for their friend. One of them is
Miss Pearson." Kiera mumbled someting that sounded suspiciously
like "two of them" and Emily did something that looked
suspiciously like a sharp elbow jab to the ribs.
"Enter." The door opened and there stood Pansy. They entered the
room. The floor was stane like the rest of the hall but the
tempreture was undenyablly lower. It might have been the open
window but Kiera prefered to blame it on the icey cold dark
abyss that serves as Pansy's heart. There in the middle of the
room was Dannielle. She looked comfortable enough but the girls
knew looks could be decieving- they all saw that cute little
greyhound turn into ravaging monster once told to 'fetch' a
criminal. They looked up at Pansy and he shudders at the kness,
remembering the last time he tried to capture any of these
girls. Kiera kicked him in the shins, Emily somehow turned into
a table (he refused to belived she was quicker than him) and
Erica... actually, Erica had never done anything to harm him.
From what he had heard, she wasn't as defieant of his aurthrity
as the others. It was Gove she hated.
"Here is your friend. Latyoor, I trust you have asked Emily here
to have a chat about cultral issues of the Amethyst tribe?" His
gaze held mre than just a simple question.
"Yes sir. Now, shall I detain the other two?" Kiera clenched her
fists and readied herself for a fight while Erica just raised an
eyebrow of slight concern. The difference between these girls
was what was made them get along so well.
"No need, they can be escorted off site with Miss Wakerman here.
And Kiera," his gaze turned to her, "Do try not to anger any
more order members on your way out, we do hope you can make it
to the end of the year without another period in chains." Kiera
stuck her tongue out at the man, who recoiled in disgust-
Kiera's tongue was unusually long for a human, some had even
sadi she had the blood of a chamelon in her veins, or one in her
stomach. Latyor turned and took the unwanted perpertrators away.
Emily sat on a chair in the middle of the room.
"Emily, how have you been?" Pansy smiled. It wasn't a smile
Emily particularly wanted to be on the receiving end of. It was
cold and predatory and Emily knew he didn't want to learn
cultural values over tea unless he was to benefit his deep
seated longing for power.
"I'm confused but other than that fine, yourself." Emily
understood now exactly how Kiera could kick this man in direct
difiance.
"I'm good, thank you and I'm sure your confusion will clear. So
tell about your tribe. Start from the beginning, if you ease."
"Why are you asking me? Tribe leaders are good with people and
politics, not history. I can tell you about culture and cultural
traditions but I was never interested in how our tribe started-
it's not going to help us move forward, is it?" Pansy's brow
crease, furthering Emoly's concern for what his ulterior motive
must be.
"Ok, I must find someone who knows more on that subject but tell
me about your dancing- it seems every Amethystine on the street
is a dancer or poet- surely there is some cultural reason behind
that?" He steepled his fore fingers in a way that made him seem
thoughtful. Not good for Emily.
"ITs something to do with blessing and hunting or whatever- I'm
not the person ask, really."
"And who is?"
"I know some one- she knows the history of all the tribes, not
just mine, she can tell you in detail about each of our
traditions and legends." Pansy knew he had to find this girl and
find the knowledge he needed, " and luckily for you, you already
want her in chains! Her names Kiera," Emily pushed away from the
table, " she's very nerdy about this sort of stuff and her
violent Patrick makes the refuelling vivid, I've been told. Yeah
ask her," Emily paused then inflected, "or anyone in the
Sapphire tribe. They like this stuff too. Good day."
"Wait, before you go, do you know anything about your legends?
The goddess of the hunt, Mother Nature, the singing trees, the
dream world?" There was a gleam in his eye
"It's impossible for that to exist. Much less for a man of your
'standing' to believe." She spat
"Yourself though?"
"((I believe it because it is impossible)) but you seem to know
more than I do." Emily bit out.
"That's another thing, the foreign tongue, I am not versed in
it."
"And I'm not giving you a lesson in it. Do not be fooled- my
sister and I are very similar and there is little stopping me
from treating you like the scum you are and the blight Kiera
treats you as such. Good bye."
Emily slammed the door behind her- she had to tell Kiera.

Kiera was not readily available at that moment to talk about the
impeding doom of their way of life as she was in the hall of
music with Erica and Connelly. Connelly wasn't Kiera's favourite
person but at least she wasn't trying to kill her.
Kiera leant over to Eroca "why am I doing this again?" She
whispered
"Because you said you would and its going to be fun. You might
not like it now but you will thank me when it's over."
"Meh, it happened last year- still not convinced it can be
repeated. "
"Just you wait, Kiera, just you wait."
***
"It was next to pointless, master, all she told me was that
their legends were pointless, I was a fool and something in
their indecipherable language. Also if we want answers, find a
Sapphirite or Kiera."
"You should had let me handle it- I train those lower down with
skill, Emoly is just related to Kiera and is very good with
people. Tribal leaders in their tribe just need to be able to
communicate with others. The Latin makes that hard for the rest
of them. I say that, but that's just their official story. It's
really just inherent cheek." Latyor took another long drag from
her pipe and flicked a few stray hairs over her shoulder.
"And what do you suggest? We can't ask a Sapphirite because they
have no access to the gateway and Kiera wouldn't tell us if we
threatened to kill her. Emily is useless- we have no choices."
"Glenton has a Library full of Sapphirites- if one went missing,
no one would mind terribly. Pendragon went to the dreamworld
before- it was part of her test. We take a young Sapphirite and
make them our spy. Take one from the new lot- young with a
thirst for knowlegde- they'd be unstoppable. Not just for this,
anything. Think of the possiblities."
"But how? Everyone would know they are a Sapphirite. You didn't
think of that, did you Latyor?" There was a mix of triumph
gloating and venom in Pansy's voice.
"O, we just have them stalk them. In fact, why just them- we
could have the entire place crawling with spys if we just pick
correctly, un like last time, Pansy." The edge to Latyor's voice
was in refernce to the idea to set up an Order/ Glenton
assimilation team of students and I can't remember what I called
it later but this means more words woot woot!
"That is a good point, Latyor. I will consider it tonight. You
are dismissed." Glove said and with dignity, the woman left the
room.
***
Heck. And dang it starting somewhere random again
Kiera walke out the music hall- that was nothing short of spme
of the most despicable torture could hand out! She has been
given a duet to profits amount other pieces with Erica singing
the other bit.
"Why, oh why, Emily did you let me sign up for this? It's not
good, it's horrible- we are shouted it for being normal and
wanting to blend in. What's wrong with not wanting to be seen?
Why Emily whhhyyy?!" Emily stood, arms crossed, face stern and
tapping her foot impatiently.
"I don't see what you're complaining about- You have a flair for
the dramatic as clearly displayed just now. And at least you
have a reason for it. All newly accepted citizens must cease
opportunity to be part of the community and therefor have to
proform." Kiera lay sprawled over a cushion, arm fling across
her forehead.
"Then seize an opportunity to get out, I have bigger problems
here!"
"Bigger than Pansy asking me about the dreamworld and singing
trees?" Kiera bolted up right, hands flailing for her quiver and
bow.
"Go pack a bag, quick, we need to hurry! He knows about the
trees Emiy" Koer looked up with a panic stricken face, "the
tree- OW! No fair- only Marketa can do that!"
"Next time it will be the law book you have in your room. It's
the dream world I'm worried about, K. If he finds his way into
there we could all die!" Kiera stood up and glanced to the
doorway to her room.
" Come with me. We need to do some scouting."
Kiera's room was... Interesting. It wasn't littered with odd,
sentimental trinkets- it was packed with books, the occasional
Artefact and piled high in an unusal number of purple shirts and
green jackets. In the corner was a bed and next to it a small
table. On the table was a jar filled with a currency known only
to the Glenton Black Market- Mallow from the Marshes of Scote.
Roughly, it's seven Selttiks to the Mallow and 4 Mallows to the
standard Kacow bar. This changes regularly because they are all
edible and taste delicious. They are also consumed for the high
that comes after consuming them in copious amounts. Anyhow,
Kiera had a stash of Mallows ready at her bedside for any
emergency and this counted. This counted badly. Kiera grabbed
the jar and hoped over her stuff to get out. "Come on, Em. I
know an... Unorthodox way of getting the people we need to the
dream world."
"Wait, we need to bring non- Amethystines into the dream world?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!"
"Pff what mind? And yes we need them! They have specific skill
we kinda need right now."
***
Their first stop was the docks where it was rumoured a high
profile Black Market dealer happened to gain quite a bit of
business. With the jar of (kinda very illegal) Mallows tucked
away safely in her bag, Kiera searched for her. She had met this
famous dealer last year when she appeared once in a training
session. She disaapeaed shortly after.
"There!" Hissed Kiera, pointing to the alley she had just seen
two people walk out of carring suspicios bags and really hiding
that they'd just done some illegal dealing. Kiera stalked over
there, Wmily in tow. They entered the alley and the stemch hit
them as surely as a wall would.
"Would you want some Selttiks, perhaps?" Kiera looked around in
distaste
"Is there another reason we'd venture into this hole?"
"How much do you have?" Kiera fumbled with her bag and was about
to produce the jar when they heard a loud, booming voice-
"Stop right there!" Which everyone who did anything illegal or
had and self preservation instinct knew mean "run for you
freaking life!" Mawla slunk into a hidden passes great that
sealed behind her, leaving Kiera and Enily to fend for them
selves. The sisters pelted down the alley, turning into back
streets and the occasional garden. Feet pounded, hearts raced
and they ran. They until they reached a dead end street and then
they decided to climb (after Kiera tried to use her momentum to
give herself a head start and run up and over the wall failed in
the most spectacular way). Emily was nimbly perched on top of
the wall before looking down and seeing Kiera just out of reach
if both her and the soldiers.
"Command you to come down and surrender!"
"And I command you to stick your ego up-"
"KIERA!"
"I was gonna say Glove'a massive nostrils..."
"Oh ok..."
"I'm not sticking my ego anywaher! Now hand yourself in now and
we will consider lencency... wait.. is that how you say-"
"Shut up and focus, rookie. They are getting away, fool!" And
indeed they were. Emily happened to have her dancing ribbion in
her apron pocket and was winching Kiera up at a rather
remarkable spped considering. They were almost about to complete
their ridiculous task wehn suddenly they were pulled backwards
on to the street behind the wall. The cu,prit was the some times
pesky but in general useful gravity. Not too phased by tohe push
(or well, pull) from the large mass of the planet below them, to
siblings in crime ran some more.
"We need the Selttiks, Em, or we can't get our group of special
forces to the dream world!"
"Why can't you go to the dream world by your self and check in
with Harri? I'm sure that would suffice!" Emily shouted back and
Kiera stopped dead.l
"Oh yeah. Wait, I know where we are, follow me!" Kiera took a
sharp turn into an ally and ended up out side the Amber
Catheral.
"How?" EMily inquired
"Pff talent," Kiera paused, "and a heck of a lot of reading."
"Whats reading got to do with anything?"
"I'll tell you later- come on, if we hurry I can get us into the
underground and we can hide there until sun down and then we are
pretty much home and dry if you know what I mean."
"Sort of, yeah. Hurry up then." The two girls ran for the cover
of the Catherel and as they assended the steps they happened to
run into a ceremonial sacrifice makeing robes wear Rita.
"And where do you think you- HEY!" Kiera grabbed her by the
srcuff of the neck and dragged her along.
"What do you think you are doing?! Unhand me!"
"No witnesses, sorry. we cant have any witnewsses."
"What on earth are you talking about. Kirea took a sharp right
turn and Rita narrowly avoided having her forehead whacked
against the wall."oI, WATCH IT, CLUSMSY SHORT-"
Don't go there, lanky." Kiera's voice had a sharpo edge to it
that Emily didn't like. They took another left, decended a
flight of stairs and took the fith righ on the thrid corridor
before Kiera slowed down and lifted up a hatch in the florr.
"All of you-"
"both of us-"
"yes, that, in! Now!" Rita went to question but was too busy
being shoved in a hole in the ground to actual,ly form a
sentence. EMilly followed and Kiera dropped down last.
They sat in silence to catch their breath.
"So what do you think you are doing?"
"Running from the law tempooraily? you?"
"Trying to think of where would it hurt the moist if I were to
stab you repeatedly for dragging me down here."
"I'm trying not to kill my self, if anyone would like to ask."
Emily chipped in. When Kiera and Rita were in the same room,
they tended to ignore Emily as they were too busy comiong up
with lines to banter with. Over all, Emily felt a little left
out.
"Pray tell, why you were running from the law?"
"Wait, shouldn't you have asked that earlier?"
"Oh, well yes but the writer of this thing is a little bit
mentallly derenaged and put waaaaay too many letter in her
words. A bit like you really. Now answer my question!"
"Oh, yeah. I needed some Selttiks so I went down to the harbour
to but some off Malwa on the off chance she was there. Turns out
she was, which was good but before I could pay some gaurds came
along. I don't have the Selttiks but I have a load of Mallows-
want one?"
"Wait, youy can eat black market money? That make no-" Kiera
tuned out the rest as a thought processed through her mind
"EMILY! You are a genius!" and with that, Kiera grabbed both her
sister and her lesser-nemeisis (Glove took arch-nemisis, Pansy
took standsard.) by the back of the neck and ran off into the
dark.
Glenton's Black mraket was, unlike the name suggested, a
colourful place. Here you would meet villiagers from all the
tribes and beyond (such as the rebels of 15a and the Witches).
Everyone knew what they were doing was illegal any worthy of
being banished. The owner of the black market was still a
mystery to everyone. When Kiera arrived (at some point on the
way she did give in to the pleas of those she dragged) she took
a deep lungful of air. The damp of the dirt walls, the smell of
the selttiks mixed with the Kacow and mallows was something to
revel in. and Revel kiera did. That was until she was whacked on
the upside of the head by a heavy object
"What are you doing, trying to get high off smell?"
"No, I was apprecating, that's all."
"Right and I'm actually a Dreamagon, secretly an Amethyestine
and therefore inherrently scatterbrained and well- that"
"You just gestured to all of me! And you are not an Ameth- oh
wait, that was your point...."
"Well done, here," Rita nabbed something off the table next to
her, "have a gold star." It wasn't a gold star. I was a strange
mix beteen a flower and a busit.
"What is... that!" Rita inspected it it before shruggin
"A hibiscuit I guess."
"Do you know wahtr I see?"
"What i did there?" The girls trailed off in to awkward silence.
"One day we'll look back on this, laugh awkwardly and change the
subject."
"Or develop it in to an inside joke because we somehow formed a
truce?"
"HA! as if!"
"I know right! Now goodbye." Kiera took a sharp left, dropped
and rolled under at least three tables, leaving Rita standing,
still in her cerimonial robes, looking very out of place and
very confused.
Emily looked around. This was it, the dark side. This is what
she had actively avoided to avoid being of I'll-rupture or
however you spell that word. She spun on her heel, taking in the
wide varity of life that bustled around her. Loud chatter
bubbled from many mouths and laughter from many more. Suddenly
there was a tap on her shoulder, she pun an round again to find
no one. Shrugging off she continued her inspection of this
exciting new world, full o life and varity.
"BOO!" Emily was too startled to do anything but jump out of her
skin. Before was a tall blonde girl dressed in blue.
"Who are you?" Emily asked, tryin to regain some dignity.
"Me? Why I am Niki, Lady of the Lake. Some call me LOTL, others
NikiLOL and more people.... Do not know of my existence on this
planet. Who are you?"
"Emily." Her reply was short, curt and blunt as this Niki person
kinda freaked her out. Emily couldn't put her finger on it but
there was something about this girl that made her seem...
Unhinged...
"So what brings you, Emoly, to the wonderful heart of the
underworld?" Niki had clasped her thin hands around Enily's
shoulders and was shaking her ever so slightly.
"My sister dragged me here, why aren't you in a lake?" Niki
laughed. It was a light laugh that was 3.72 shades of being
hollow sounding.
"I need to get me some rainbow pills. Pray tell, child who is
your sister? Is she like you? Is she well known here? Does she
own the joint?"
"Kiera, no, I have no idea and I sincerely hope not." Niki
stopped.
"Kiera? Kiera Pearson? Merlin the lizard? Really?" It was the
one time in the conversation (interrogation seemed more fitting,
Emily thought wryly)
"Yeah... We get that a lot." Emily was a focused and dedicated
tribal leader with dirty blonde hair and a fashion dress sense.
Kiera was a scatter brained and violet loose cannon with a lot
fuse and the constant look of living in the wild. In essance,
chalk and cheese had more things in common.
"Well I never," Niki's tone was not as serious as the words she
said deserved, "well, I take it upon myself to guide you through
this treacherous land of under! Come with me , peasant." And
before Enily could protest against being dragged along or being
referred to as peasant, Niki was off and dragging Enoly along
behind her.
***
"Yes please, that would be lovely thank you." Kiera smiled,
knowing she was more likely to get more for her Mallows than
being sour faced. Speaking of faces, she should probably buy one
after her other crime face was seen and then fell off, revealing
her true identity but Koera had decided that she would face up
to her crimes. That's not a pun, that was the term for doing
criminal actions and activity with your own face visible, not
actually doing the dirty on yourself- that is referred to as
stupidity.
Anyway- Kiera was buying Rainbow Pills... Well technically
exchanging her Mallows for Selttiks but it's just a technicality
that no really bothers distinguishing. As the exchange/
transaction/ selling/ buying/ what ever you want to call it was
taking place, Kiera was tapped on the shoulder.
"Niki?"
"Nope."
"Marketa?"
"Nope" the p was popped peculiarly but Kiera could put her
finger in the peculiar p popping perpetrator nor how they shall
be prosecuted.
"Umm... Emily?" Her guesses were getting further from the likely
truth. The shoulder tapper sighed a long and laborious sigh.
"Dannielle."
"Oh hey! What are you getting?"
"Powered Kacow- only thing legal topside." There was a
dissatisfied and discontent quirk to Dannielle's tone of voice.
"Yeah, it's good though, 'specially now winter's coming up.
Wanna a Mallow ?"
"Free money, yes please!" An extra mallow would buy another mug
or three o powered Kacow. When stirred in hot milk, it makes a
sweet, foaming liquid that warms the body and soul.
"I wouldn't say free, a mallow for you soul." Kiera donned her
psycho grin which many people were very, very freaked out about.
Mainly because that was the face she had on before she went to
plan your death.
"Pff - pretty much free money." She took a mallow and placed it
in a jar she had in a bag slung over her shoulder. Just then, a
blonde and blue blur arrived at the table and a purple one
spilled out of the masses after her.
"Nikki! Why is Enily following you?"
"She's your sister?" Nikki's face filled with surprise yet
again.
"Wait, you didn't believe me when I told you but Kiera just
happiened to know my name and you believe her! How is that
possible?" her older sister smirked
"Pff talent." At this point Rota turned up
"Pff what talent? Anyway peasants, not that this is not lovely-
what are you gonna do until sundown? The tree climber and the
sister are running from the law, Nikki can't go back until then
because they Order would know she's not guarding the lake ergo
the fountain (if it still exists) and they move fast, I can't go
back because Meh too lazy and Who's the Emily clone?"
"Uh! I'm Dannielle." Said the offended 'Wmily clone'
"That's nice, I don't care. So?" Rita asked
Kiera held up a bag of Selttiks and a grin slowly inched itself
on to her face and everyone stepped back (Wmily whispered to
Nikki "I used to think her smile lot up the room, but I was a
fool- it's the glow of everyone's hopes and dreams being
incinerated")
"I have a scouting mission for you guys!"
"Um yeah just remembered, I uh have some goats blood to um stew
no steal no wait buy! I need to buy goats blood, see ya!" And
with that Rita departed as quickly as she arrived, almost as of
she only arrived for the pirpose of further forwarding the plot
or story line. Ho hum!
"Umm ok?" Nikki agreed
"I'm in as my 'duty as a Citizen of the Amethyst tribe'"
Dannielle drawled and Emily just nodded.
"Oh! I wanna come, what is it, peasants?"
"A scouting party to the Dream world. Got any Selttiks? You'll
need 'em."
"You think that, I, the great Ellancelot wxplorer would not have
upon my person my Selttiks?" She slapped Kiera on the back of
the head with hand. For this slow amount you (cough cough Hobbit
cough cough) it was a severed hand.
"Any way peasant, yes I have plenty and am about to restock- any
particular colour?"
"... Yeeeesss." Keira hesitantly called.
Which?"
"OH! Uh, purple, plen'y'a purple- y'know, Amethyst and all."
"Sure thing Peasant! Where shall I meet you after?"
"Behind the propaganda stand. See ya, you guys, follow me."
The proper hands stand was actually just a stall to promote
Order/ Glenton co-operation- they called them selves the
Mediators. They were actually just a bunch of people picked by
the Order at pretty much random. Most of them hated the Order
and their collective guts.
Once there, Kirea sat down cross legged and motioned for the
others to follow.
"Ok, Selttiks out, and place them in this order /exactly/."
Kiera stressed the word. She went on to list all the colour's in
order- Will not reapeat it as it would a) give you passgae into
the dream world and heck to the no if the order is secretly
reading this (Pansy, I will gut you like a fish) and b) It would
make me win NaNoWriMo in one without a completeled novel and a
very, vewry long list of colour words- bor~ring. ANyhoo,
Ellancelot turned up with a mighty stash of rainbow pills. As
Kiera went on, she serruptiously added more and more to
Ellanceelot's pile and to Nikki's. No body noticed."Ok, eat as
quickly as possible-GO!" and they ate. Quickly. there were
actual rainbows formed from where they moved them up to their
mouths so quickly. As the last one was eaten, all but Kiera fell
unconsious.
"((Fools))" Kiera muttered to herself before summining a portal
to the Dreamworld with some actual Pff talent/ magic/ witchcraft
or whatever. Then came the labourios task of dragging each body
through the portal. Kiera had no trouble both Dannielle and
Nikki as both of which were called skinny for a reasons- it was
nothing unhealty, just very helpful. Emily was not too much
trouble. Ellancelot.... I'll leave out the narration of that
seeing as Kiera was very tired and a little drowsy and
Ellancelot is not the easiest person to carry through into an
other dimesion. Ok what the heck
"Oh, come ON!" At this point Kiera wondered how much did it look
like that she was carring dead bodies. Then realised no one
would notcie or really care because, let us be honest with our
selves, there was much weireder things happeneing around. The
whole operation was tiring- even more dso than actually tricking
them all into believeing that eating the pills would take then
to the dream world.
Evenuallay, Kiera managed to dragg the dead weight of Ellanclot
ovee the threshold of the dream world and close the portal. As
she did so, a girl in a blue robe watched silently from the
stand they were behind.
"Wake up. wake up. wake up. wake up wake up wake up wake up wake
up wake! UP!"
"I'M UP! What's on fire?!" Emily shot up, eye's wild and hair a
mess. This was actually an acheivement due to a) amount of hair
(not much at the moment. She hated it's shoulder lenghtness) and
b) time spent asleep (this approxiamtely equallyed 5 minutes.)
"Um, my brain! Dude, I'm on a roll! go everyone here and no body
knows that it was actaully just a portal!"
"How?"
"I knocked everyone out with the amount, order and speed you ate
the rain bow pills. I mean, that could knowck an elephant cold
for days but you guys are all Glento
nope
but you guys are either Amethystine or hard core Selttik
addicts. and the reason I'm not asleep and therefore could open
the portal was because I ate less than you all by adding my
extras to Lotl or Lancy's piles. it was pretty awesome to feed
them basically poison eith out them even notcing. Does that
answer your un-voiced question?"
Emily put down her finger and nodded "More in fact. So now
what?"
"Hit the rest of them until they wake up." Kiera's minaical grin
showed exactly what she was thinking so I won't bother voicing
it here. HA! You weren't exapecting that were ya? Readers are
such chumps sometimes but that's why we love them so much- I
mean they read this drivil I'm churning out in a way that is
just pure suicdie BACK THE THE PLOY CLAIREUS BEARUS!!!!!!
ok, rant over.
Nikki awoke with out much trouble, Dannielle was *this* close to
slapping Emily and Elleanclot was unwakeable. That was until
Kiera found a stream...
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! HOW DARE YOU! HOW VERY DARE YOU! YOU SAHLL PAY
PEASANTS AND YOU SHALL BOW TO ME!!!!" everyone looked at
Ellacnelot like she was crazy and that's saying something seeing
as all of them lived in the vincinity of Glenton. Kiera took a
cautious step towards the newoly awoken Explorer.
"NO!! BE GONE FROM ME DEAMON SPAWN BE GONE WITH YOU SPAWN OF
EVI- oh wait, Peasant?
T0hat doesn't really make things any clear Lance." Kiera said
simply
"Ok sorry, Kiera the Peasant with the bows? Sorry, I was ahaving
the most wonderous dream of when I was captain of aa ship full
of Pie-rates and we somehow ended up in this weird "Bear Mudas
Square and you were there but it wasn't you- you were crazy,
more so than usual and you were a bear sometimes, too. So yeah,
sorry. Anyway, as you were peasants."
NNo one stood too close to Ellancelot for the whole journey.

They trudged along the path until they came across a split.
"Ok, Emily, you and Dannielle go down to right with Nikki and
I'll take the treasure hunter turned wannabe daemon slayer.
Questions can be addressed to my left toe because I really don't
give a flying sock monkey. Now scram."
"Wait! What are we looking for?" Emily shouted and Kiera let out
an exasperated sigh
"anything that looks suspicious, like order members, fog and
generic dark deed and dopings"
"Dopings? Is not that what we are doing now?" Dannielle asked,
eyebrow quirked
"Arh, doings, sorry- it was another blimming typo."
"Typo? How many Selttiks did you eat?"
"Oh forget it, as you were and all that jazz!" Everyone shrugged
and moved on
***
Back in the black market, there was a girl (well, most people
assumed she was a girl) holding a bag. She looked as if she was
half heartedly looking for some one or something. She wandered
towards the mediators stand and saw what he was looking for- a
quiet spot to sit down and binge on Selttik without Ellancelot
stealing all her presiois stash
***
"why are you leading this? I'm the one who actulally knows my
way around this crazy thing?" Kiera asked for the gabillionth
time in a different form of phrasing. She trudged along after
the famous explorer of the Ruby tribe.
"Well, you see, peasant, I am well trained in leadin expiditions
such as these. In fact, I was there when the Order came into the
Dreamland last time! We fought long and hard aginst-"
"No you weren't, you were out cold. I was there and the whole
thing was actully solved by butter fingered Arthurs letting go
of her sword. Ok? I know as I was there and I'm actually from
the Amethyst tribe. It is SO rare for someone to be let into the
dream land with conscious memories of such afterwards, you have
no IDEA how lucky you are right now! I have been trying to tell
you this for the past HALF AN HOUR and it STILL will not
penertrate you hat covered head!"
"No need to get touchy, peasant. I know it's hard finding one as
fabulous as I and knowing you can never live up to my
awesomeness. This way, I think." She gestured to a path
branching off the side, completely ignoring Kiera for the
gabillionth time.
"Yeah, sure. Go that way- lead the way in fact- and I'll stand
here and watch you fall down to your death. YOu know that the
only part of you here is your soul and if you don't wake up
before you hit the bottom of the cliff your very essence will be
torn into oblivion. So, yeah, lead the way." Kiera was a tad fed
up with the narracsistic explorer by now- there could only be
one centre of attention and Kiera full well knew that, right
now, it should be her! She actually knew where she was!
"I'll just wake up then if I start falling, silly peasant!"
"You can't though- you came here because you were knocked out
cold through Selttiks- you can only wake up when they either
wear off or I cast the wake up spell." Ellancelot wheeled
around,
"WITCH CRAFT!"
"NO! Pff talent. Magic- not witch craft as I am not a witch. I
am actually a lizard- a weird one, I'll give you that- but right
now, you just gotta accept that I know where we are going and
I'm the only one who can save your sorry butt so you better step
aside and let me take over, buddy!"
"MUTINTY!! MUNTINOUS WITCH!!!" Ellancelot shouted and screamed
st the top of her lungs until someone came to investigate.
"Hellooo! What ya shouting about?"
"This... creature here id both commiting mutiny and threatenign
to profrom witch craft!" Harriette looked at Kiera from her
perch on her Unigon
"Is this true Kiera?"
"She was about to walk off a cliff and I was taking over to save
her from her own stupidity! That I can proform magic is besides
the point! She's insufferable, I tell you!"
"Kiera! You know that freaks people out!"
"Well you know what they say!" Kiera was riled up to sya the
least- never before had she had this burning urge to slap
someone so baldy around the face so many times that they might
bleed to death. Apart from that last ltime that Arthurs showed
her up (appraently "Wordify" is actually a word) and the time
that Marketa had her clean the entireity of the window in the
library after she got into that fight with the stew. And Pansy
in general. Actully, Kiera felt this way a lot of the time.
"What do they say, peasant?" Ellancelot was confused- she didn't
iunderatsand what poor dellion this poor peasant was under to
think that she could navigate this strange new land better than
she, the great Ellancelot Explorer! She vowed that she would be
patient with this peasant as she realised she was mentally
derannged but the revealtion that she could and would practice
wtich craft thrown all notions of sympathy, empathy and any
other form of positve and pityiful emotion were throiwn out
completly- and then she suggested mutiny- OUT RIGHT MUNTIY! it
was reall;y too much for one person!
"Well, every one knows so I didn't bother repeatiing it- waste
of words really. Now, Hariette, its wonderful that you should
appear right now. We have heard rumouurs (well created from
shady evidence rumours) that the ORder are trying to enter the
dream land. I know last time they semi succeeded and they
plsaced the despicable source of evil here but now we fear for
the worst. |I mean I preserved the skull of the last Order
member who found conscious passage here, these guys are only
here becasue I drugged them up pretty badly. We were looking for
any signs of breakages and fractures in the delicate outer
shell?" Harriette paused to compose her thoughts while her
unigon let out snort.
"I know not what you seek, I have not seen anything that you
would you find worthy of classification as evidence but I will
be vigilant on you behalf. Also, stop by again soon, I miss
gloating about my unbeaten track record of riddle contests!"
"Apart from Rita."
"Yes.. apart from Rita." Kiera placed her fist on her lower open
palm and bowed to the gaurdian
"Your mastery of the sublime and ridiculous will forever be my
point of reference, Sifu Harriette. Tahn k you for you help, we
must return to the others- you know of their location?"
"I believe they are at the bottom of the cliff your Pet from the
Ruby tribe nearly walked off. I will alert them to what I know,
well lack of, and get \Emily to wake them up. Yo go on to you
world now. Goodbye!" and with a mighty woosh, the wings of
Harriette's Unigon lifted itself and Harriette off the ground
and into the clouds around.
"What was that?" Ellancelot stared sfter it.
"A unigon, the cutest animal ever and when I say cute, I mean
awesome and buttkicking. So, gonna let me take you home? and
before you say no, you don't have choice." Kiera rolled her eyes
to look upwards and muttered a few words and with a slow
dissolving effect, the two woke up back in black market.
"whaa?" Ellancelot was dazed and confused and many other synomns
of those words. But not atonyms because they are the opposite...
yes... opposites. If you think about it too long, opposite is a
very funny word, but not funny as in laugh out loud (Ellancalot
thought some out should at some point abbrveate that) but funny
as in funny pequliar. You see, opposite has a e at the end,
prceeded by a vowel/constant diagram but this, following the 'e
of witch craft' she was taught a young age, would make it
opposite as in opposight, you see. It is rather interesting if
you you consume so many selttiks. Ellancelot looked around to
see her ever faithful Diddicus (the seventh) next to her in a
similar stae. on the other side was the brown haired, bossy and
overly excitied peasant with the ourple. so much purlple...
suddenly, more bodies appeared but Ellancelot was too out of it
to notice that anything was out of the ordinary. There was more
purple and a not purple. It wasn't red either, but it was
similare to the purple... what wazs it called? It puzzled
Ellancelot for too long for her to come to a conclusion.
"Heeeey!" The first purple peasant giggled. Goggle is another
funny word. it was trying to sound like what it is but fail
whales like a pinyta hanging from a cliff. There was relevence
to that staement but iit eluded Ellancelot too long for it to
hold her attention for too long.
"What is going on? Do I want cookies?" The not purple peasant's
purple peasant (for the purposes of those reading this and not
understand what on earth Ellancelot is talking about in third
person for is that this is Dannielle, not Emliy, continue)
"Does one ever not want cookies?" it had seemed as if the cloud
of confusion had been banished by an over whelming ray of cocky
who the heck give two monkey socks from Kiera and her new found
confidence was starting to wash over those around her and infect
their aruas with such a burning desire to do any thing they
wanted. Ellancelot stood up shakily and demanded for a drink,
Did wobbly obliged and a drink of foaming substance was
delivered to her outstreached hand from some now rather offended
and shocked passer by. It was vapourised in seconds by the
guzzleing throat of the Ruby leader. The merriment had begun.
There was laughter and dancing. The ruckus was heard from all
over and many more joined in. There were foaming brown drinks
know only as Aloca passes around in large quanities and every
had a great time. But all good things must come to an end. Rita
walked up to the group of merry meakers to find The orginal
griupik sat at ther centre, laughing at any thing said. One look
in their eyes showed Rita exactly what had just happened.
"Let my guess, this general highness is the Pearson brat's
fault?"
"No, I am your general highness. I command you to bow to me!"
Kiera slurred, standing regally before falling to the ground in
a fit of giggles. Her giggles soon turned to a manical laugh
that would instill the fear of some teenagers in anyone in
hearing range, however most people there were used to it, so
they only made a couple steps back. "What? It's just a laugh you
guys. Don;t be so mean!" Kiera pouted and it was a sure sign of
the up and coming low. It followed every high like Did follows
Ellancelot. Every one knew there were two people you should
avoid on a low- one was Ellancelot and the other was Ha. Right
now, You had Kiera and Ellancelot next to eache, about to decend
to the depth of boith exuastion and lack of sugar which is not
good (Kiera, though not as bad a the aforementioned two is still
pretty bad) and Rita knew she would have to remove the two of
the soon however no one else was sane enough to do at this
momnet (and normally they barely pass) She sighed heavily.
"RIGHT! Pearson, go look at the shiny food- it's edible and
shiny!" Kiera shot up like a bullet from a gun or a more
histrically accurate analogy. She ran off in some random
direction she assumed was correct. Rita scoffed "Simple minds
are easily entertained. COmplex minds are entertained by simple
minds. Next-" she grabbed a bucket and chucked it at Nikki- "
Here, fill it with water! Blonde Pearson and blonde Pearson
clone, you two find cusions and go to sleep." They surprisinlgy
followed her instuction. Now was Ellancelot. The best wat to
deal with this would be to just knocked out but the only way to
do that would be with a heck of a lot of Selttiks or a large
hammer. This left Rita puzzled- she didnt want to make it waorse
(and was it even possible to knock out such a hard core addict
out wit her life force?) and she didn;t like her chances against
a crazyed ull of the Ruby tribe leader. In the end she turned to
Did. "Umm Did, is there anything in that bag that can put
Feather head over here to sleep." Did silently produced a bar of
soap. Rita mearly raised and eyebrow.
"She's so opposed to washing with soap used by peasants, she'll
either faint or do antyhing you ask." Did seemed rather withit
for someone who was in this massive undrground fest. Rita
approached the other tribe leader, brandishing the soap as she
woulld Caledwlch. Ellancelot turned around, took one glance at
the soap, screamed and promptly fell to the ground. The soap was
plucked from her hands with a "told ya so, you best find Kiera.
She'll tear this place apart if she doesn't find her shiny
food." shoot, thought Rita and she ran off in the same
direction. Thankfully, most people had cleared after a couple
shouts that the Order were comeing (small lies for good of all
men seemed reasonalbe at the time and now) Rita found Kiera
nomming a metal table.

you know what to do
#Post#: 4760--------------------------------------------------
Re: Amethyst Arc whose official title I really can't be bothered
to remember
DIR By: Kiera Pearson
Date: November 9, 2013, 12:06 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"Pearson, what are you doing?" As Rita uttered the question she
recoiled slightly in anticipation if he answer. Kiera unlatched
her face from the table.
"Eating the shiny food like you told me to. What else would I be
doing?" Rita looked up and down the strange little... creature.
"Don't reproduce... Just don't." Rita told her. before pausing.
What was she supoosed to do now? Today had been very very
strange I mean, this morning was the Acceptance ceremony still,
or was that yesterday. No one was sure on a usual day in Glenton
and every one knew there was somme kinda spell on the Black
MArket grounds to warp time in such a way that no one is every
sure what on earth is happening up stairs as it it referred to
as or what time it is. Well, it was either that or nbo day light
reaced them. Rita weighted up her options- She could whack it
over the head but if she missed, she could only partially murder
it and it would go crazy and try to claw out her throat. She
could ask it to come with her nicely but since when did Rita do
nice and how could she be sure that this creature would even
listen. The strange sound of nomming reached Rita's ears and she
realsied that one must slowly slowly catch a monkey and if one
was to do that, one must be armed with food. "Yo, Pearson!" Rita
called and it stopped its nomming. "YOu want more shiny food?"
it nodded enthustiasctically. "Come on then." Rita grinned as it
leaped four limbedly to towards her. Rita turned and ran back
towards where she asked Emily and the Emily clone to go the
sleep. She realised if she didn't wear Kiera out, it woulod
wonder where the shiny food was and Rita might have her throat
eaten. At this thought, Rita took a sharp left and round down
some steps to a lower level of the market. Her fist oumped and
she could hear tables being scattered every where as Kiera
bounded (most incred9ibly monkey-like) after her and the promise
of food. 'How, Pearson? How is that possible?' thought Rita, as
she looked behind her. She closed her eyes and shook her head
for a fraction of a second. In that fraction of a second not a
lot happened but the small things that did solely consisted of
Kiera Jumping up on to a table and in frount of Rita. The two
collided (Well, Rita ran in to Kiera but she would say they
collided) and fell to the floor. Kiera, on the way down hit her
head on a table and manged to become unconscious. It was both
good and bad for Rita as she now didn;t have to deal with a
crazy animal of Kiera but now she had to deal with the
unconscious deadweight. 'Just my luck'' muttered Rita. The Amber
tribe leader circled the still body, wondering what to do when a
lad turned up from no where.
"I'll take her if you stop the crazy water lady from chucking
water on everyone." Rita's eyes widened in horror as she
realised she never told Nikki what to do with the water. She
nodded as she sprinted off towards the direction the boy had
come from. She knocked over tables as she ran out. She heard a
few screams and turned and adjusted herself towards the
direction that they came from. She quickly saw a blue dress of
her friend and heard her mancial laughing.
"Nikki!"
"Arthur, me boy! Where have you been, this is where the fun is!"
there was a loud splash and the tribe leader was drenched head
to foot. Rita knew she had to deal with this with lots and lots
tact and heapings of ingenuity. She ran towards a group of
soaked people, heading for the exit
"HEt, wait!" She called and a few turned around, "please stay so
I can catch the manic. Trust me, all you need to do is what you
were doing. Several people ignored her and continued up the
stairs but most of then stayed to help. Probably not out of the
goodness of their hearts. They stood at bottom of the stairs and
stood still. Rita caught up with them and called Nikki over with
a "Yo NIkki!" and she (Nikki) turned around and saw the group at
the bottom of the stairs. A laugh escape her lips that was as
evil as it was crazed and deranged. Rita muttered to the people
behind her, "When I say run, run and scatter." They all made
anoises of agreement. Nikki came closer and the people behind
her tensed up behind her. Nikki closed in. "In 3," she started
to tip her bucket, "21 RUN!!!!" Everyone scattered in every
direction they could and tNikke was left confuced with an empty
bucket.Now that Rita had scattered with the rest of the
accquired pawns.. im ean people, she knew she had to somehow get
Nikki to calm down or go to sleep, however she didn't have any
water in a bucket to shove her in, her obbsessed peasant who
knows how to get her to faint or a table to make her crash into.
She knew she had to get her into some water so she could smuugle
the wate human person creature out of the Black market and back
to her lake without the order noticing her missing. She crept up
from behind and side stepped as she followed another one from
the crowd. 'aaaaaand... NOW' Rita thought as she lunged for the
bucket. she mangeaged to wrench it from Lotl's fingers but fall
on the floor in the process. Rita rolled out of reach and onto
her feet, buycket infrount of her.
"You think you can stop me by taking my bucket? Watch this,
Arthur, me boy!" Nikki used her water people powers to move the
water tellekinefctically. Rita was ready for the torrent that
came her way and filled the bucket with the woter (and got
drenched again). Rita stalked around her new enemy (I use the
word enemy as she wasn't really a nemesis as she wasn't trying
to kill Rita, she was just in the way) Rita thought about how
she was going to do this- she needed to divert Nikki's
attention. Using the sun crystal she had completely forgotten
about previously, she moved a table from one end of the room to
the otehr, it scrapping agast this stone floor, manking a
horrendous scheeching. Nikkin turned her head to see what just
happedned and RIta ciesed her oppotunity to grab the blonde hair
and force the rest of the boddy following into the bucket.
Technically being a liquid, Nikki fit perfectly. Rita quickly
placed a random lid that fit (plot purposes, darling) on top to
stop Nikki escaping. The group of people who Rita had used
clapped half heartedly- they were tired and worn out. Rita
turned around to see that Did had placed Ellancelot on the
cusions that The younger Pearson and her friend were on and
collaped there herslef. Nikki was safely in the bucket but...
where was Kiera? A blood curdling scream pieced the air. Rita
cursed- probably where that scream came from. Though Rita was
not sure if Kiera was making or causing the screech, she
realised that she wasn't finished yet.
"Unhand me this INSTANT!!!! HOW DARE YOU! HOW VERY DARE YOU!!!
YOU ARE VILE< UNCOOTH AND ULTIMATLY WRONG!! PUT ME DOWN!!!!"
Kiera looked over her prisoner. She had dispatched of the boy
carring her (yes he lived!) and had now held a young girl in a
blue dress up against a wall. Her hair was blonde and she was
screeching murder to all eardrums in the vicinity.
"Please, please shut up. all I asked was where I was. I'm
holding you captive until you tell me, do you understand?" Kiera
had a head splitting migraine and had no time for screeching
girls. "I will not tell you where you are until you unhand me!
DO YOU HEAR ME?" The girls was adamant
"Then I see we have come to a problem. I don't want you
screaming and I want to know where I am right now. YOu don't
want to be held hostage or whatever you want to call it."
"If I stop screaming, will you release me?" The girl;'s face
took on a crafty look which didn;t go un notivced by Kiera
"Depends, if I release you will you tell me where I am?"
"I will but then you will owe me." The girl clear knew how to
get people to do what she wanted.
"How about, if you get into a tricky situation I will give you a
hiding place? Soes that seem fair?" The girl puased, processing
what was said. Her mental debate seemed to go on longer than was
needed. Kiera was not only cranky when she had a head ache, but
salso more impatiant.
"Deal." Kiera let go and the girl lamded ni,ble on her feet.
"Ok, now spill!" Kiera demanded.
"You are still underground but you are in the tunnel that leads
to the grand Library. I'm Drew and you will forever owe me until
it is fullfiled. I will come to you. What is your name?"
"My name is Kiera. Where do you go now?" Kiera inquiired,
curious to know more about her new debt collecter to be.
"I go to the Library, yourself."
"Yeah, I can go with that. So, Drew, what do you do for fun?"
Kiera looked down on her. Drew opened her mouth to answer when
Rita shouted from down the corridor-
"PEARSON! STOP TERRORISING THE POOR GIRL!" Kiera winced at the
sund and Drew cursed under her breath. No one knew the reason.
"What. do. you. want." Kiera grimaced.
"I want you to stop terrorising the poor blue munchkin you have
aquired and come back away from trouble. For goodness sake,
Pearson, I did not want to do this today."
"It was your fault for existing, stupid Arthurs. I am going to
the Library with Drew here. So if you'll excuse me." With that
Kiera stalked off, ignoring the pounding ache that battered
against her skull.
"Why are you going that way then? That would be the way to
Glenton Hall." Rita asked puzzled and Kiera looked at Drew in
shock.
"You... lied to me? You LIED TO ME!" she roared and winced at
the same time, enraged that this girl would do such a thing.
"YOu owe me now, Drew of the Sapphire Tribe. You owe me more
dearly that I did you. I now claim you as my minion- you shall
do my bidding until the day you die and your soul will have rest
until mine joins you in the after life and then you soul will be
my soul's slave- DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!"
"Whoa, chill, chill- if you cntinue this way beyond Glenton
hall, you will get to the Library- eventually" she added,
muttered under her breath.
"Ok, I do see your point, but you are still my minion- I just
won't be to hard on you." Rita was appauled.
"You are just going to leave it there- she outright lied to you
and you are just gonna let her off lightly with minion-ship!"
"Well, yeah?" Kiera shrugged, not seeing Rita's problem. Rita
took twwo strides towards the pair.
"And did it not cross your dull, tiny mond that the Order will
stop at nothing to find what they want. They also happen to be
based at Glenton hall at this current momnet in time, so Kiera,
do you still trust the blue munchkin after I have made this out
burst that actually makes no sense because Claire is only
starting a twenty minute sprint and doesn't really know what
she's doing?" Kiera backed away from Rita slightly, then slighly
quicky and then turned a did a full pelt run away from Rita,
worried for what would happen if she was really possessed by a
strange deity that can control thoughts and actions mearly by
sprinting. Drew cursed- not only was she just ditched and owned
(not in that order) by Kiera, she had just been accused of being
a spy for the Order. All Drew wanted to do by taking Kiera the
wrong way to the Library was test her stupidity. Turns out it is
based mainly on her nievity, even though she is incredibly
distrussting of adults. Drew hmmed in thought.
"What are you thinking about, spy?" Rita spat at her,
venomously.
"Oh, I was just considering- the best way to get Kiera to do
somehting is to pretend it's against the Order. If you want her
to do something that is going to destroy her and her world, you
can get her to do it if you give her the right reason. Now I'm
not actually a spy, but I know exactly how the Order couold get
her to do anything they wanted. YOu are not going to like this,
Arthur, sir, but I think we need to befriend Kiera properly if
we are to stop her doing something irrvokably stupid."
Realiseation dawned on Rita, there was a full lot of new,
plibale minds in Glenton that the Order could easily manpiulate.
All of whom are in the show that Kiera is participating in. If
the Order could get even one of them to idolise Kiera, she
wouldn't risk letting an oppotunity to boast go so she would
spill every secrect she has to a complete stranger.
"Come on- we need to find her." Rita went off in the same
direction Kiera did
"No, wait! We need time to plan. Have you ever tried to work
with a spooked horse? You need to be tactical, not running off
following every mood swing they have. We need sleep- it's been a
long day." Rita paused. This Drew character, she thought, may be
right.
"Goodnight then. Meet me in the Cathreal tomorrow at miday to
plan our plan." Rita walked back toward the cathereal.
"Good night, sir." Drew called after her.
With out turning, Rita called back "I AM FEMALE!!!".
Kiera woke up, looked out side and cursed. She shot up out of
bed, shoved on some clothes and ran out the door. She was late,
again! She pelted through the streets of Glenton, trying to find
the musci hall. Kiera had fallen asleep in a cafe, again. It was
a reoccuring event that really made no sense. Kiera located the
Music hall and burst in. The place was deserted. What? kiera
thought. Where is everybody? It's Friday, which is rehursal
day... The whole thing made no sense to Kiera.
"Kiera, you re early!" A voice behind her exclaimed, "That is
most unlike you, what happened?" Kiera thought long and hard...
what did happen? She woke up and saw that the sun was shining
directly through her window... WAIT! That was it!
"I fell asleep in a cafe, I woke up with the sun shining in my
face and I thought I was in my room, cause if it's shineing in
my face, it means its been up for like 3 hours. I didn;t make
the translation of time when my berain made the trasnlation of
location." Erica looked at her friend.
"What?"
"I thought I was late."
"Oh, ok. How are you finding the musical? It's been, what 3
weeks since rehueal started. YOu must have an opinion by now."
Kiera pondered for a moment. Three weeks, three weeks since the
acceptance, the dream land fiasco and the large amount of mayhem
that followed. She hadn't seen Rita of Drew since then. It was
all rather weird. The rehursals had been alright, though Conelly
had been shouting at many many members of the cast.
"Alright, I guess."
