Chapter 3: Raven Cliff?

She’s joking, I think to myself. I try to force myself to believe that, but when I look up her face is  plain. Kia didn’t even look distressed, she looked completely fine. She actually had a small grin on her face.

“ So what are do you suspect us to do, “ I say angrily.

“ There's one person who might know, but you won’t be able to talk to him, “ she sighs.

“ Whoa, we have people waiting for us in OUR world, “ I say.

“ Not everyone does, “ Kia whispers.

The woman and I ignore her.

“ The supposed ruler of this world might know, but he has a whole army that blocks him from anyone, “ the woman states.

What, are we in the past or something. Monarchs and dictators? I just got out of school. I start pacing around. What are we going to do, is this a dream. I look around at the multiple bookshelves. My face lands on Kia’s bright blue eyes. She winks and starts talking.

“ So what should we do miss, “ Kia says.

The lady gives a slight grin and walks  out of the room. I look at Kia and shrug as I follow her. We can’t do anything but follow her. All of this seems unreal, but what can I do. I’m just a high school boy living a life. The woman stopped in the room with the table and 4 chairs.

“ Wait here,” she says as she heads toward another door opposite of the one with the hidden library in it.

“ Kia, this is-,” I was cut off by the creaking of the door opening again.

The woman had a bow in her left hand and an arrow pack on her back. The bow had flower patterns all over it and 2 pink flowers holding the string of the bow. The pack on her back was light green and the arrows had different flower patterns on a lot of them.

“ Let’s go, no questions i’ll explain in a short bit, “ she walks out the front door.

Kia automatically walks after her. This is getting weirder and weirder by the minute, but for some reason I couldn’t stop having a grin on my face. When we are all out she closes the door behind us. She got her bow up and got in what i’m guessing is a shooting stance. She was on the ground on one knee, bow drawn. She put two arrows of the same pattern on her bow. She was aiming at the two guards  near the fountain.

“ Whoa, what did they do to you,” I nervously say.

“ It won’t kill them, “ she says annoyed for some reason.

“ Pretty sure it will, “ I say. Those arrows look lethal, the head of the arrow looked sharper than a thousand knives.

I looked at Kia and she shrugs.

“ Maybe she’ll miss, “ she says with lackluster.

The woman starts laughing so hard. Tears stream her face. What was so funny? She stays like this for probably a full minute. She wipes the her face with her hand.

“ I never miss, “ she says with a grin.

The arrows are released. You hear the Whissss through the air as the arrows soar and hit their target. The arrows landed on each of the guards shoulders as they collapsed on the floor. When I looked at Kia she had a worried face. Are they dead? What kind of women is this? Is she crazy?

“ Their just knocked out, don’t be so scared,” she says as she motions us in the fountain water.

She jumps in, water splashing everywhere. People were giving us crazy looks, I heard some murmuring between two kids. Before I had time to think about anything else Kia splashes in too.

“ What are you guys doing, “ I say confused.

“ Just lay in here, don’t worry, most of your questions will be answered if you would trust me this one last time, “ The woman says.

Kia grabs me and pulls me in with her. Splash! For some reason my clothes weren’t soaked with water, but I could still feel the water on me.

“ Close your eyes, “ she orders.

Kia and I follow her commands. I could feel Kia shaking me. I opened my eyes and got up. Noise filled the air. I was still in the same fountain, but my surroundings were completely changed. There were men and women everywhere laughing and talking. Tents were put up everywhere, different colors and patterns. All the people and tents were set up in between the edge of a forest and a massive lake. I got out of the fountain, not wet at all. The women was already out and so was Kia.

“ By the way my name is Momo, now follow me, “ she walks towards the crowd of people.

Is this some sort of fantasy book? Was that magic that transported us here. So many questions I need to ask. Hopefully i’ll get them answered soon or i’ll burst. The woman went into the biggest tent i’ve ever seen. I enter the tent after her and  I was amazed. There are rows of weapons and armor. Boxes cluttered around, based on the smell probably food. There's a huge space to the right that is lined with old, raggedy dummies. There is a desk made of this kind of shiny dark brown wood, there is a man in it.  The man is well muscled and has decently long dark brown hair. He has a long line scar over his right eye, he also had a faint beard.

“ They came from the Gate of Chrono, they're your problem now, “ Momo starts walking out of the tent.

“ What is this place, “ Kia asks.

“ This is the Raven Wing guild, a guild on trying to overthrow Kai reign, “ he says.

He has a strong, fruity voice.

“ Why are you trying to overthrow Kai, “ Kia replies.

“ It’s a long story, “ he says.

I sigh. Kia wants to hear it, you could see the curiosity in her eyes. Her brown hair matches her sparkling blue eyes so well.  Doesn’t help she  always looks cute in her school uniform. Wait what was I thinking about?
