Hezago was enjoying a lovely view when two random people decided that this was the best time to throw themselves through the open window. One of them, a girl, stood up and started dusting herself off.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8yCNgqVQyx
"Phew! Sorry about that. My Name's Avada, Nice to meet you!" Hezago looked at them in concern.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbyZGephb9n
"Nice to meet you too...?" Hezago responded, as the boy who had crashed along with her stood up and rolled his eyes.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAN88AHSKcw8
"Yep. Just ignore me and watch me go flying through the window." The boy muttered.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA83IYCQO1lq
"You know, I really don’t care." Avada said, frowning.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwTPT9soRit
"Of course you don't. Anyways, my name is Eathan, what's yours?" Hezago looked at him apprehensively, but his face softened duly.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAf8YNOqbVhQ
"The name’s Hezago," He replied, still concerned,
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmEjGYnwRLB
"And I'm Zack,'' Zack said, smiling cherrily.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHu2roS9OVr
"Good! Great! Fantastic! Now, if you don't mind, I'll have to go put our luggage up and take care of a few things, ‘ight?" Avada asked, in which they responded by nodding. "Perfect."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAA4yMYUvcVI
A few minutes later, Another person came In through the door, hair in a frenzy. "Phew," She muttered. "Please tell me this is the right place." She said, breathing heavily. She looked up, a misty number sixteen showing up and then promptly disappearing. "Oh thank goodness!" she muttered, and then sat down.
201Please respect copyright.PENANApqAz3PS9ST
She dropped her luggage to the ground and took a deep breath. "I hate this..." she muttered.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvZHB9FOrUt
"Er- if i may ask, who are you?" Eathan said, walking into the room.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvY4ZtfOxGt
"My name is-” She paused. “Elenora." she replied, exhaling.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAteDF7Gz511
Anyway, soon after they had gotten themselves situated, the train appeared to speed up rather noticeably, which was pretty strange, especially after noticing the fact that the train was heading downwards. An odd action in Hezago’s head.
201Please respect copyright.PENANATQXNHv9YC8
Trains, unless celestial or Dust V, did not speed up when going down a hill, and although this train was chugging through the bright blue sky, the same principles should apply here, since it was only a normal flying train.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAnvJIF78QSL
Except that it wasn’t.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAOM1iYIPjSs
Apparently, due to the fact that Hezago was not paying attention, they had already flown through the Gulf of Mexico, and had already arrived at Havana. They were now going towards the Havana Station Square at an alarming speed, heading straight towards the ground.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAa9JDys6rIE
The solid, serenely waiting, and joyously hard ground.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAYrVO05zVn0
Hezago, although knowing this was normal with flying trains, he couldn’t help but panic. After all, the council destroyed his Borearcis, and he was limited to chariot travel, which did not go through the ground at 298.72 miles per hour.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFc4rOHd6fw
Panic was the mood of the room when it randomly went dark and then light again, and by the time the train came to a screeching halt, It was to great relief. A voice only Avada and Eathan seemed to recognise filled the room, speaking.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhsOgjJ3h
"Hello! It's Professor Michelton here, it would be very appreciated if you all yes, you too Mark, depart the train, and get your school supplies, thank you very much." The speakers then cut out, and good while later, the group left the train, to be met with an unpleasant surprise. A random boy they'd come to know as Vicktor at some point, had just sent a squirrel flying.
201Please respect copyright.PENANASkIdF5G0DK
Turns out he was having a duel with a certain someone who should at the moment be in jail, but wasn’t.
201Please respect copyright.PENANADXEBe6w4zD
For the love of Sol, it was Mark Devandal.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pzfi1yoUW
Anyways, ignoring the fact that it was the most vile name to ever exist, he proved to have an unnecessarily deadly attitude. If you were to get in his way, he could leave you without an organ. At some point he was bound to go too far, so when that did happen he was sent to-
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzKmNUkQ0q6
well-
201Please respect copyright.PENANAP9LYO8iHYO
jail. At this moment, he was being beaten back by this other boy, that is, until Hezago got in the way. He was blasted back with a beam of light emanating from said boy’s wand, and a sharp hint of pain from the other side. Hezago went tumbling into Mark, straight onto the rails.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAEW1feOUaEk
Other than the ugly roach that was on top of him, Hezago notice something that was rather odd, even in this magiking world. The little but fast blue engine that was leading this express had a face. A face that suited it, yes, but nonetheless a face. Its eyes turned look at them.
201Please respect copyright.PENANApGCC334Xhx
"Mark! This is the third time today, alone! Get yourself together and go back to the station!" Mark grumbled and left, mumbling some rather obscene words my lawyer has advised me not to say. Hezago breathed heavily, disappointed in Mark’s idiocy, stupidity, and his unintelligent tendency to do the maniacal.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhzOd6sxAB5
The train sighed in annoyance, and then spoke. "Oh! Hello, sorry about that, Mark is a… troubled child." the train said. Hezago nodded in agreement, sighing in annoyance.
201Please respect copyright.PENANABA3bZCKQpf
"Yeah, and there's more to that, apparently." Hezago muttered, wishing he had something to rid him of the stink that was now on him.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzKzoWGx7JG
"Well, It's nice to meet you, my name is Professor Michelton, yours?"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAgguKjVIz6M
Hezago smiled, this Mitchelton person was alright. "Hezago." He replied.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKvI6864diP
"Ah!” He said, pausing, and then spoke again. “Lovely name, but I think you ought to get going, you’ve only so much time to get your things." Hezago smiled, then nodded, beginning to depart. "Very well then! I'll see you Later!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAZOVlElIjY1
"M’kay!" Hezago replied, and left for the station.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3OQlSVN5CK
He climbed up the stairs to find a tomato red faced Mark waiting for him. "You." Mark said. Pointing a stubby finger at his chest.
201Please respect copyright.PENANANW452IPvoV
"Mhm?" Hezago said, taking notice of this.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVEgoCPJBvN
"You're going to regret embarrassing me like that!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHtEZJcpjUV
Hezago rolled his eyes. "Oh really? Please, try."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAgOANsUtSMK
Mark was notorious for starting fights for the least sensible reasons, and this appeared to be one of those times.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA76McggbFrs
Hezago sighed, realising that he would have to deal with Mark's irrational behaviour once again. He decided to remain calm and composed, hoping to diffuse the situation before it escalated any further. "Oh, I’ll show you!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAogLCq7SIDG
"Really? What are you going to do about it? Try to fight me? I extremely doubt you have the nerve."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAL0y4efXfAx
Mark growled like the brute he was. "Ohh, I will kill you." He attempted to grab him by the shirt, but Hezago snatched his wrist before he could. Hezago maintained his calm demeanour as he twisted Mark's wrist, causing a very interesting grunt of pain. Mark clenched his teeth in agony, determined not to show any signs of weakness.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA12XtbP7CuS
"Try me." Hezago said, smiling kindly.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHgKCOEV1By
Hezago's smile only intensified Mark's anger. With a burst of adrenaline, Mark lunged forward, attempting to tackle Hezago to the ground. However, Hezago effortlessly sidestepped the attack, leaving Mark sprawled on the floor in defeat. He went aside to join Zack, who was just staring.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA6xXkhEifu9
"Now what on earth was that? '' Zack asked, and received a simple smile. "Let's get on our way." Hezago said. The two would then go along into what was The Hollenz-Fennia plaza, according to a nearby sign, and find a wonderfully humongous yet looming and somewhat threatening castle waiting for them.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJJMEl2PpDr
There was an abundance of creatures doing their business, such as pixies and fairies arguing, goblins complaining about humans, said humans bartering for goods, ponies and unicorns walking their kids, and many, many, other not normally sentient creatures.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0lS0lBnCKN
The castle that stood before them was an ancient style building, with turrets spanning as far as the eye can see. There were cannons and flags here and there, either in the windows or the turrets. The building was apparently proposed as a bank, which was a very interesting choice once taking into account the interior of the castle.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVhP2E9KvSq
The building was floorless with an infinite void beneath, except for a few absurdly humongous tiles here and there, serving as one of the only walkable areas in the building.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhtNmBRpN6S
The two stepped onto one of those humongous tiles that chose to come near them, and stepped on it, careful not to fall to their end. The thing steamed and cranked and lifted the two, halfway across the room, where an extremely grumpy goblin was waiting for them at his desk. "Name?" The goblin grunted.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjb3fNF8Jzm
"Hezago Borealis." Hezago said, smiling unnecessarily.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJfaTm768TD
"Zackariah Sodoneess." Zack responded. The goblin then typed something in on a computer that did not seem to be there before.
201Please respect copyright.PENANASnQXCV5R58
"Well then," the goblin said, snarling, "Off you go." The platform under them split apart and sent them both their separate ways, with Hezago's going upward but slightly to the right, and Zack's going downward but slightly to the left.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQWy8aExbZE
Hezago's platform would soon lead him to a similarly floorless hallway and to a very large door at the end of it. It had a single eye piercing diamond on it, and a very magnificent collection of opals surrounding it. The door opened upon the arrival of Hezago and led him toward a singular door in the centre.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAuLEjZHi4Xl
There was a singular hand print in it, pulsing as if waiting for someone.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1WgyIqxdgU
Hezago cautiously placed his hand on the pulsing handprint, seeing a surge of energy emanate from the door. As he did so, the door began to emit a soft glow, revealing intricate symbols etched into its surface. It was quite clear that this door held secrets beyond the imagination. The room spun, literally, and a large collection of valuables appeared.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUfgl0TxC4k
But the weirdest of things to appear here was a singular umbrella.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmde6JOzGd6
Gold and black, it shone like no other, yet was as dark as the pits of Gloria.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAjyllYmebp
The floor soon materialised, allowing hezago to depart the platform. As soon as he did, he went toward the umbrella that was rather furiously spinning on its tip. He grabbed a hold of it, and-
