Hey Guys I am back with more chappy! Even though it is late.
:grin:
So as you can tell, I am starting to use deviantart rather than imgur since I did not want people to use copyright, even though I don't really care. Although it will be hard I will try to keep with the quota of 1 per week and as a bonus 1 art per 2 weeks.
And one last thing. The cover/logo is finally made. I decided on this logo since it somewhat represents what is to come. The portal/rift is the represent of the gate while the crystal will be revealed some time in the future. THw cover will change as time progresses but will still use the crystal and portal design.
Anyways here is the chapter!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Inside the capital)
The trio arrived at one of the gates that leads to the other worlds. The gates stood twenty meter high and twenty meter in length. the gate itself was a circle with it's outer shell decorated with rare metals and gems. There were stairs leading towards the gate and to top it off it was covered with red and purple carpet that gave the vibe of royalty.
Lucarius was studying this strange artifact when Grayl cut in. "Isn't it magnificent?" beamed Grayl, while observing the gate himself. "Many people tried studying this artifact but it is so vast and no one has managed to scratch the surface."
Lucarius nodded. He understood how ancient this artifact is just by seeing it. The mystery that it holds is tremendous. The details and all the way down to the structure is magnificent. As the trios approached the gate, a a woman with wing like arms,that was inside a booth, stopped them.
"Sir I believe you have to pay the toll before entering the gate." chirped the young lady. Lucarius observed the board that was placed beside the toll booth. There were signs that Lucarius cannot decrypt. Instead of waiting for all day, Lucarius left Mia and Grayl to explain.
Mia noticed Lucarius waiting for explanation and simply went right into it. "She wants you to pay three credits for the toll fee for travel. Is that fine with you?" asked Mia simply.
Usually three credits is still quite a big amount of money for those who does not work for the council however, this was not for Lucarius. He quickly handed the amount towards the young lady who generously accepted the money.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Thank you sir, now may I see your ID?" Lucarius quickly handed his ID. The lady quickly checked it over before handing it back with a smile. "Thank you sir, hope you have a great travel."Lucarius smiled back and approached the gate.
The next moment, the gate seemed to lash out at him, as if trying to grab and pull him toward the portal. Although Lucarius was surprised, he did not flinch. Instead he allowed the gate to swallow him up.
As soon as he entered, he found his consciousness slipping from his body. The next moment his face was planted onto the pavement. While letting a rough groan, Lucarius got up.
When he first arrived at the Abyss, he thought he will never get back home. No that he finaaly arrives back home does he feel safe. In the Abyss, he was chased again and again.
Lucarius quickly ckecks his watch. He was surprised to see that the time have not changed. In fact, it was still the same time when he went to go to the nearby super market.
----------------------------------------------
(Meanwhile back in the Abyss)
Mia and Grayl watched as Lucarius stepped into the portal. Although he couldn't see their face, the sibling felt lonely when he left. Although they know that he will be back soon, they still felt like a hole has been left out. In the short moment that the three spent together, they formed a quick bond while trying to survive.
Seeing that Lucarius went back home, the two left the place and decided to head home. Before they arrived at their house, Mia and Grayl quickly made a slight detour and arrived at the market square. There they quickly bought some groceries before heading home.
However, little did they know that what they will find back home.
