Place: Arumer University
Characters: Charity, Dryson.
It was mid-semester at Arumer University in the town of Glendale New York, which was an hour away from Syracuse, New York. Winter was about to lose it's grip on the town, but signs of spring were popping up. Spring break was over as students returned to classes. Glendale was what you would call a 'college town' since most of the businesses catered to the university and a lot of college students worked in town. Charity Gibson was glad she didn't have to work for her education due to her scholarships, grants, and family back up. She had just returned to school after visiting her family in Texas. It was good to see them, but if she was honest with herself, she was glad to be back in New York. Living in Texas, one didn't see a lot of snow and here in New York, she saw plenty of it and it brought a sense of nostalgia for her, although she could never figure out why since she never saw snow in real life until she came to Arumer University. So unlike others, she was sad to see winter ending. Maybe if she's lucky, there will be one more nice snowfall before spring totally settled in. Fat chance of that. At the moment, the blonde was sitting at the nearby Starbucks that was next to school and plenty of students were here. She was drinking a chai tea lattle and it was still morning. She wouldn't have her first class for another hour at least and it was her Painting II class. At this university, one had to take Drawing I & 2 and Design 1 & 2 before they could take Painting I. She enjoyed her painting class for it was her favorite. Her painting professor had said their next 2 paintings would be decided by them and so to come with ideas since it would set them up for Advance Painting, where she would have complete control. Charity already knew she would be focusing on landscape paintings. This past week, her dreams had been especially vivid. The place she dreamt the most was a mountain area with snow, sometimes with unicorns in them. There were other locations she dreamt of, red mountains where dragons and phoenixes flew, underwater kingdoms that reminded Charity of the Gungans' underwater city in Star Wars Episode 1, floating islands, enchanted forests, and so much more. So Charity wasn't lacking in inspiration. What did trouble her was the intense deja vu feelings she was getting from it. She wouldn't think about it now. Finishing her latte, she got up and existed the place, deciding to return to her dorm to get her school supplies for her first class. One nice thing about college, was the length between her classes for she only had two classes today, which was Monday. She would have them on Wednesday and Friday. Her other two classes were Tuesday and Thursday. In order for her to keep her financial aide, she had to go full time, so she just went the bare minimum and did 12 or 13 hours. Maybe once she became a junior she would try for 15 hours, but Charity wasn't in any rush. For now she would enjoy the morning.
Dryson was also in the same Starbucks that Charity was in and had kept glancing her way. Of course to him she was the legendary sorceress, Aveline Cartwright, but he knew she, along with the other guardians of Remura, had been reborn with no memory of their past lives, so she was now Charity Gibson. Watching the young woman leave, he still had a hard time picturing her as someone the Unicorns of the Light Region remembered. Dryson still could remembered the day when he'd been summoned by the Gods of Remura less then a year ago.
Dryson was researching the final confrontation between Virlock and the guardians when he was summoned by the rulers of the faeries, King Finn and Queen Gwen. He was currently living in the Air region in one of the sanctuaries, this one home to the fae folk. Wondering what he was needed for, he got up and headed straight for the palace. Lucky for him, the library was located next to it. The palace was gorgeous and blended with the clouds wonderfully. Entering it, he soon found himself in the throne room and bowed to the rulers of the fae.
"You summoned me your majesties?"
"Yes young Dryson, we just got contacted by our own master, Lord Borus. He said the Gods want a word with you," King Finn smiled as his words had the desired effect.
Dryson was shocked. He knew the Gods rarely got involved in matters on Remura, and if they did they only contacted 'important' people like the King and Queen of the Fairies. It took him a few minutes, but he finally got a hold of himself.
"Sorry, your majesties, I was just taken off guard."
"Hehe, we don't blame you. It's rare for a mortal such as yourself to be summoned by one God, much less all of them," giggled Queen Gwen.
"So, how do I get to them?"
Suddenly a portal appeared out of nowhere.
"That's how, the Gods are always watching and were waiting for you to show up before a portal to open. Hurry, lad, you don't want to keep them waiting," the king said.
Nervous beyond measure, Dryson slowly went through the portal and the moment he stepped through it, the portal vanished. He was in a vast hallway with pillars on each side. While he had no idea where he was, he knew he wasn't on Remura anymore, and he could feel intense energies here. Walking, he walked into a vast circular room where each of the Gods sat in big thrones. Coming to the center, he instantly bowed. He was very nervous, so he stayed in a bowing position.
"Rise young man, we don't have all day," commanded a powerful voice.
Dryson snapped up straight and saw that it was the God of Space, Aether. All residents of Remura knew about the Gods for their statues and monuments dedicated to them. While Remurans had the privilege of using 8 of the 10 known elements, the elements of Space and Time were prohibited, so something like a portal could never be used by them since portals were basically holes in time and space.
"Well, now that you're here, we'll get straight to the point. You've been wanting to find a way to defeat Virlock, haven't you?" Aether asked.
"Yes my Lord."
"Excellent, well, we summoned you here because we want to help you," the grey haired God said.
"But I thought the Gods were limited in what they could do for us."
"We are, which is why we're going about this indirectly. We need you to find the guardians, reunite them, and bring them back to Remura." the Goddess of Time, Clotho said plainly.
This caught Dryson off guard.
"I thought the guardians were dead."
"They were killed yes, but we took their souls and sent them to another planet to be reborn." Clotho responded.
"Which planet?"
"Remura's sister planet, Earth. They were sent there since we knew they would eventually return to Remura, and it being a sister planet, the journey back would be easier. Plus it was safer for them to be reborn on a planet that was relatively safe." the Goddess of Earth, Gaea said.
"Unfortunately, Earth currently doesn't believe in things like magic and our presence has been reduced to silly lore and myths." Thanatos, the God of Darkness, said, annoyance in his voice.
"Now's not the time to be complaining about your grievances with a decision that happened in the past, Thanatos." stated the God of Metal, Vulcan.
He knew time was of the essence so wasn't in the mood for Thanatos's behavior.
"Still, it's going to be a challenge for Dryson to not only adapt to Earth, but find the guardians, unlock their past life memories, and convince them to return to Remura to defeat Virlock." Thanatos replied back.
"Don't you think we should wait to see if Dryson will agree to this task first?" asked Diosa, the Goddess of Water, sending the young sorceror a gentle smile.
"Why wouldn't he? He's been given the chance of a lifetime, and Virlock must be stopped before he gets enough power to takeover all of Remura." stated Lyn, the Goddess of Lightning.
"Wait, all of Remura?" questioned Dryson.
The God of Fire, Kami answered him, "Virlock lost most of his strength when he defeated the guardians, but over the years he's been regaining his strength and it won't be long before he has enough strength to take down the sanctuaries the guardians created. With all of Remura under his control, he'll have enough magic to potentially invade Earth."
Dryson's eyes widen in horror as the aspect.
"Can I ask why stopping Virlock is so important for all of you? I definitely want to stop him for personal reasons, but what are yours?"
"See, I told you he was smart," smiled the God of Air, Borus.
The Goddess of Light, Eos, returned his smile before turning to Dryson.
"Earth and Remura are important to all of existence. They are located in the very center of the universes and dimensions. What would to happen if they were completely destroyed? It would effect the Balance of All and destroy it. Not only that, but Virlock would gain enough power to challenge us Gods, even Aether and Clotho. So to keep the Balance, he must be destroyed. So, we ask you, will you do what we require of you?"
It took Dryson a few minutes to soak in all he heard. Nodding his head, he accepted the heavy burden he was tasked with.
Thanatos was right about one thing, adapting to Earth had been hard, even though the Gods sent him instructors who had knowledge of Earth. Lucky for Dryson, all of the guardians ended up going to this school. The only clue the Gods could give him as far as what the guardians looked like was their magical auras. All magic users had the ability to see magical auras. And the guardians' auras would be very intense since they were the most powerful magic users on Remura. Even if their powers were dormant, they would still have those auras. Dryson was hoping that once they remembered their past lives, their powers would start returning. He learned a spell that would help them unlock those memories but wasn't to use it until he was given a sign. The Gods said he would know it when he saw it. So far, it hadn't happened. Dryson was pretty patient, but even he was hoping that would happen soon. Finishing his breakfast, Dryson started heading for his first class of the day.
