Whoosh! 3 in a row! I really want to get over this section fast and got to the druids!

Chapter 5: To Shadwood Academy

The next day, in Lars' living room

Mrs. Rona: Oh my, oh my.
Rhen: *walks in* Grmbl,grmbl
Mrs.Rona: Oh my, oh my.
Rhen: *doesn't care* That bratty grasshead Lars, he's gonna pay for what he did yesterday!
Mrs.Rona: Oh my, oh..HEY, RHEN!
Rhen: What is it? Not now, stupid old hag
Mrs.Rona: Find Lars! The emissaries are gonna be here soon. Ohhh, where could my boy be?
Rhen: Fine, I'll look for him!Who is gonna find him? I'm just gonna get outta here*gets out*

Outside

Voice: Aaaahhh!!
Rhen: That sounds like...Eddie's voice. Does he got bullied again *rush to the scene*
Eddie: Aaaahhh!!!
Rhen: * sees Lars and his cronies standing beside Eddie* Eddie!
Eddie: Waahhh! Rhen! Help me!
Rhen: What happens? Did they hurt you?
Eddie: No, but Lars-
Rhen: Lars what?
Eddie: Lars, he..ASKED ME ON A DATE!!!
Rhen: Huh???
Eddie: And he was speaking in a sweet tone! It's so scary!!
Rhen: *imagines*

Rhen's Imagination

Lars: Oh, sweet Eddie, dear, would you like to go out with moi?
Eddie: Waaahhh! You're not Lars!!

Reality

Rhen: Brb..Hrk..Snrk..HHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAA!! HHHHAAAAHHHAAAHHAA!!! HHHAAAAHHHAA!!!! *rolls on the ground*
Lars: I DID THAT NOT BECAUSE OF MY OWN FREE WILL. IT IS CAUSED OF MY LOSING A BET WITH HECTOR.
Rhen: *huff* *huff* Still..it's...HAAAAHHHAAAHHHAAA!!!!
Lars: A SLAVE HAS NO RIGHTS TO LAUGH AT THEIR MASTERS. PREPARE FOR PUNISHMENT. INITIATING MAGIC ATTACK. CASTING SHOCK.
Rhen: *gets shocked, bracelet got off* Ouch!
H & Y (you know, Lars' cronies): Go Lars! Go Lars! *cheerleader dance, with pompoms*
Lars: I am not finished. Processing another magic. Casting Shock.
H & Y: *still cheerleading* Go Lars! Go Lars!
Rhen: Ouch! That's it! I'm really pissed off now!! *attack Lars with a stick* *lightning comes out and struck Lars*
Lars: Bzzt. I have been damaged. Bzzt. Conserving energy. Entering non-battle mode. What have you just done?
Man: What is going on here?
Woman: Such a commotion.
Hector: This slave is going against her master!
Ylitta: Yeah, that's intolerable!
Rhen: Shut up, you useless NPCs that don't even ever appear again after this scene's over! Not even as a NPC to talk to!
Lars: That is not important. Who are you two? I have no information of you in my Ghalarah database.
Man: Oh, about that.
Woman: We are-
Man & Woman: *Ahem* The Emissaries of the Shadwood Academy!
Lars: I assume that means you are the one to take me there?
F. Emissary: Correct. I'll take you there. He, though-
M.Emissary: *looks at Rhen* Hmm, you have the potential.
Rhen: Potential of what? To summon Personas?
M. Emissary: No, not that. To be a Sword Singer.
Rhen: Sword Singer?
Lorad: Yeah, and my name is Lorad. I'm a Sword Singing teacher at Shadwood Academy.
Rhen: So, what is Sword Singing? Singing about swords?
Lorad: No, we use deadly dances with sword moves to fight.
Rhen: Shouldn't it be Sword Dancer then?
Lorad: But we also chant spells while dancing. And the spells are like songs.
Rhen: So, we dance and sing. You mean, a Sword Stage Performer?
Lorad: No, A Sword Singer.
Rhen: Sword Stage Performer sounds more accurate to me.
Lorad: I SAID IT'S SWORD SINGER! Listen, kid, do you want to be free or not?
Rhen: Of course!
Lorad: If you do, then train as a Sword Singer with me in Shadwood. If not, enjoy your life as a slave and make this story end right now.
Rhen: Do I have a choice?
Lorad: No. You must come with me.
Rhen: Fine, then.
Lorad: Good kid. You know? Your talent is big. Nobody has ever managed to channel magic through a stick before for ages. Now then, take this token and you're no longer a slave. I'll see you at Shadwood. *goes with Lars and the other person*
Rhen: Wait, I need to go there..ALONE?

How will Rhen's tale continue? Will she reach Shadwood Academy?

@Iron_maiden.

Nah, Dameon's not a pervert. Agas is. And he doesn't have a fever, it's just, you know, in Japanese manga and animes, usually people is shown sneezing when other people are talking about him/her.

And about the underwear, it was kinda an on-the-spot idea, so I haven't thought much about it.

OMG! This is pure genius! Write more! This truly made my day. Lars robot was one of the bast parts XD Of course, along with pervert Agas. XD

Oh, okay ^^
What's a pity This is your story and it's really great! Lars as a robot is so funny! I laughed loud at reading this You have big talent ;]

And thanks for explain me this "Atchoo" moment

this is the best twist story ever! keep it up!

Sorry can't update today. I have a lot of homeworks.

I'm glad you all like it!

HAH! that's one big laugh, i'd say!

reading the parody you made just tickles me on the right spot.

great ideas, great sense of humor. imagine, agas as a pervert! hahaha!

i'll wait for the next chappies.

You know, I just read the forum rules the other day (yeah, I haven't read that when I registered) and apparently, some materials in this topic is kinda forbidden, so I need to tone down the humor a bit, especially with Talia (with her many swearings). Anyways, here is the next chapter, which is practically all Rhen.

Chapter 6: Veldarah, Capital of the Eastern Empire

Rhen: So, with this token, I'm free, huh? *goes to the town gate*
Town Guard: Slaves aren't allowed to leave the city!
Rhen: *shows token*
Town Guard: Oh, my apology. You may pass.
Rhen: *grins* I need to put on the right attitude *goes back to Ghalarah*

After a while...

Rhen: I wanna get out.
Town Guard: Slaves aren't allowed to leave the city!
Rhen: But I have this! *shows token* You see this, boy?? *puts it right in front of the eyes of the guard* I can leave the city whenever I want!! And you can't stop me, useless town NPC!!
Town Guard: Oh, my apo-
Rhen: Yeah, learn your lesson!! I can get out, and you're not stopping me! Hear that??? HAHAHAHA *leaves town* Man, I never know being a jerk is so much fun! No wonder nobles do it all the time.

In Eastern Empire, the wildness.

(Spiders are approaching)
Rhen: Oh no! More mutant spiders?? Wait a minute, does that mean I can get more spider-corpse-bread?? If yes then DIE SPIDERS!!!

(Spiders dead)

Rhen: *searches* Darn, no more spider-corpse-bread! Oh well. *continues exploring*

Wild Chicken: *appears*

Rhen: A chicken! Come to think of it, I haven't eaten fried chicken for a while. DIE TASTY CHICKEN!
Chicken : *pecks*
Rhen : *got hit* What the..*dies*

Your party has been utterly defeated
Ye wimp! Who taught you to fight?
Press Spacebar to continue

Player: *presses Spacebar and loads game*

Game loaded

Rhen: What the hell?? How could a chicken be so deadly? That's complete nonsense!
Chicken: *appears again*
Rhen: That must be a mistake! Here I come again!
Chicken: *sneezes, but can a chicken even sneeze?*
Rhen: What? Ugh, why did I suddenly feel so weak? *realizes something* Oh no, Avian influenza!! Nooo! *dies due to disease*


Your party has been utterly defeated
Ye wimp! Who taught you to fight?
Press Spacebar to continue


Player: *presses Spacebar and loads game*

Game loaded

Rhen: That's not even because of battle!
Chicken: *appears for the 3rd time*
Rhen: Ugh, I better run from these guys if I want to get to Veldarah alive...*runs*

Veldarah

Rhen: *huff**huff* Finally...damn chickens chasing me around. Anyway, I better goes to the school.

hilarious...HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!

I like the story!
Funny

Chapter 7: School Days

Veldarah

Rhen: Now, where is the Shadwood Academy? Hey, excuse me.
Random NPC : Yes?
Rhen: Where is the Shadwood Academy?
NPC : It's there, at the vveeeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy back of the town. It's big, so you can't miss it.
Rhen: Okay, thanks. But, why does every school in a game need to be at the very back of the town?
Mel: Good point, it's just the same with AV3.
Emma: Well, in AV2, it's in the basement of the castle, but the castle's also at the back of the town, so I guess it still counts.
Rhen: See? Developers need to think about it. Whatever, I'll just go there.

Shadwood Academy

Rhen: *knocks the door*
Harald: Yes, what is it?
Rhen: I want to be a student here. A Sword Stage Performer called Lorad gave me this *shows token*.
Harald: Sword Stage Performer? Oh, you mean Sword Singer? Lorad told me about a talented but extremely annoying girl who insisted with him called Sword Stage Performer. You must be Rhen, the annoying girl, then. You seem as annoying as he described.
Rhen: ...for some reason I feel the need to punch kitties now.
Harald: Anyway, here's your room key. Your uniform is in the room. Go and change. Lessons will start tomorrow.
Rhen : 'kay.

School Corridors

Rhen: *hums* I'm free, I'm free, from that stupid hag and his son.
Lars: *in his usual robotic tone* I am afraid that is not entirely true.
Rhen: Ugh, what do you want, grasshead?
Lars: I have received information that a dirty girl in rags arrived in the academy. There is 0% chance of error that she is you.
Rhen: Yeah, so what? I'm not your slave anymore!
Lars: Do not think that the memory of the humiliation has been deleted from my directory. I shall proceed to get revenge on you.
Rhen: Okay, I'm not afraid. Bye! *dashes off*
Lars: She shall pay.

The next day, Rhen has become an official Sword Singer student in Shadwood Academy. She studied there for 1 year, which we will completely skip because as we all know, schools are totally dull and boring. Quick summary of that one year: Rhen studied under Lorad as her mentor with Lars continuously pestering her. While she studied, she gained measly 4 levels over 1 year, proving that schools aren't only boring, but useless as well. One night..

Rhen's Dream

Talia's voice: Hey, stupid kid, where's the ring I gave you?? Didn't I tell you NOT to part with it??? Retrieve it NOW!! And once again, NOW, darnit!!!!!

Rhen's Room:

Rhen: *wakes up* *huffing* What a horrible nightmare... But now that she mentions it, where's that ring?
Bell: RIIINNGG.
Rhen: Oh yeah, today is the test day to become an apprentice. I better not be late.

School Yard

Lorad: Hey, Rhen, ready for your test?
Rhen: I'm very ready, Master Lorad. In fact, I'm sure that the battle will be over before it even started.
Lorad: Don't be overconfident, girl! Let the test begin!

[Battle be-

Rhen: Slide Thrust!
Lorad: Gwagh! *falls to the ground*
Rhen: See, it's over before it even starts.
Lorad: That's cheating!
Rhen: No, it's not. I'm just taking advantage that while you're strong in battle, outside you're just an NPC who dies in 1 shot. Plus, I still have a grudge for you saying me annoying last year.
Lorad: That's still cheating. You FAILED!! Come back another time!
Rhen: I failed?? Meanie!!
Lorad: If you want to pass, do it once again, IN. THE.RIGHT.WAY!
Rhen: Then I better train first.

Eastern Empire

Rhen: MWAHAHAHAHAHA!! DIE, CHICKEN, DIE!! Stupid pecks and flus, HERE COMES YOUR DOOM!!! AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Chicken: SQAWK, SQAWK!
Rhen: It feels so good, slaughtering you all, HAHAHAHAHH!!!

Shadwood Academy

Rhen: *after buying the best equipments* Master Lorad, I'm ready!
Lorad: Good. By the way, I think I heard some maniacal laughs and screams from the forest. Do you know anything?
Rhen: No, I don't. Let's just begin the test.
Lorad: Okay, then.

And finally Rhen passed the test, just on the verge of failing. Here's a summary of the test battle: Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Heal Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Heal Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Heal Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Slide Thrust Victory

Rhen: Yay, I pass!
Lorad: Good job. Now you can take 5 advanced skills upstairs.
Rhen: Why only 5? Why not all of them?
Lorad: Because that's the way the developers wanted.
Rhen: Oh, fine.

(Suddenly Rhen realizes something)

Rhen: Oh yeah, the ring. Last time I saw it, it was sold to a woman in Ghalarah. Guess I need to return there.


Heehee, I love making maniacal Rhen.

wat a gr8 update! anyway, this is really gud, so u will need to update every week! no pressure...

I went and edited some of the asterisk words in the previous chapters. Don't wanna get banned.

@TrueShadow

yeah, we don't want that. heh heh...

i'll await the next installment. ;p

Sorry for the long wait! I need to brainstorm for an idea of this chapter! And here I am already have and idea for all daeva fights and not the beginnings.

Chapter 8: Rhen's Quest

Ghalarah

Rhen decided to meet the woman who had the priestess ring.

Rhen: Whaaat??
Woman: Why are you so surprised?
Rhen: You SOLD that ring?
Woman: Yeah, why?
Rhen: It's MY ring!!
Talia: *from somewhere* No, little brat! It's MY, THE DREAMER'S RING!!
Rhen: What has been given can't be returned, so it's mine now. Now just go sleep in class again!
Talia: Ugh, wait for it!
Woman: Umm...Who are you talking to?
Rhen: Oh, never mind. Where did you sell it to?
Woman: The junk dealer in Veldarah.
Rhen: Great. So I basically going back to where I went from. Nice job making me going back and forth, Amaranth Games.

Veldarah, Junk Dealer Shop

Rhen: Hey, how much does this mirror cost?
Shopkeeper: 200 Gold Coin.
Rhen: What? That's a ripoff!
Shopkeeper: Buy or don't buy.
Rhen: Fine.

Rhen: Hey, how much does this birdcage cost?
Shopkeeper: 200 Gold Coin.
Rhen: What? That's a ripoff!
Shopkeeper: Buy or don't buy.
Rhen: Fine.

Rhen: Hey, how much does this ring cost?
Shopkeeper: 10 Gold Coin.
Rhen: What? That's a ripoff!
Shopkeeper: Excuse me, it's 20 times cheaper and it's a ripoff? How poor can you be??
Rhen: Well, don't blame me! Blame the programmers who can't program another response for me!
Shopkeeper: Okay, so do you want to buy it or not?
Rhen: Of course, duh.
Shopkeeper: Okay, here it is. *hands out the ring*
Rhen: *wears the ring*
Talia: *appears* TAADAAAH!!
Rhen: *gasp* Wow, where did you come from?
Talia: It's MY ring, I can detect where it is and directly warp to it.
Rhen: Okay, so what do want?
Talia: Come with me! *holds Rhen and drags her*
Rhen: Hey, don't drag me!

Veldarah, outside

Rhen: Stop dragging me!
Talia: Do you remember what you did to me last year? Well, this is MY REVENGE!! Mwahahahaha!!

Empress' Palace
Talia and Rhen arrived at the palace, with Rhen all dirty and scratched.

Talia: Oh, sweet, SWEET revenge. Ohohohoho!!
Rhen: Is that what a druid supposed to do? Don't they teach manner?
Talia: Oh, perhaps I, you know, sleep in class during that lesson. I'm the Dreamer after all. Ohohohoho!!
Rhen: *owned* Ergh..
Lars: What is a dirty girl doing in this place with an unidentified person?
Rhen: Ugh, Lars. Can this day be worse? The same can be said to you.
Lars: I have a reason to enter the palace. I am the Empress' cousin.
Rhen: I-
Talia: Enough chit-chat, kids. You need to talk to the Empress. *drags Rhen again*
Rhen: Hey!
Empress: *in a robotic tone* I identify you as the Dreamer. Why are you here? The Dreamer is not allowed to be in the waking world.
Rhen: Why does she talk like Lars? Is everyone in his family like that?
Talia: Serious matter. That cockroach Ahriman apparently isn't dead. Apparently, he can only be defeated by the Chosen One. And that happens to be this stupid girl.
Rhen: What? Can you explain?
Empress: Information received. The best procedure would be asking the Oracle. Summoning the Oracle.
Oracle: *appears* What do you want, Empress?
Empress: I ask you to check whether this girl is truly the Chosen One.
Rhen: What's all this Chosen One thing is about??
Oracle: Apparently, yes. She is the Chosen One.
Empress: Then, girl, you will be given a task. A task to save the world from destruction. If you fail, the world will be destroyed.
Rhen: WILL IT KILL YOU TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO ME???
Oracle: No, but it would kill the fun and thrill of discovering the truth later.
Rhen: I don't care! Explain it to me now!
Oracle: Oh, sorry, my time's up. Meet me at Sun Shrine for more information. *disappear*
Rhen: Hey, wait!
Empress: I suppose your first quest would be to meet the Oracle. However, I think you need a companion.
Lars: I will volunteer to fill the spot.
Everyone: !!
Rhen: WHHAAATT??? NO, anybody but HIM!!
Empress: She is right. You are still an apprentice.
Lars: Do not worry. Even though I am still an apprentice, there are none in my database more talented than me.
Empress: I think you are right. The result is, Lars will accompany this girl.
Rhen: NOOOOOONONONONONONOOOOOOOO!!!!

A while later

Rhen: I don't believe you sincerely want to help me.
Lars: That is true. I cannot allow you to take all the glory.
Rhen: Figures.
Lars: Meet me at my room tomorrow morning.
Rhen: Fine.

Next morning
Rhen met Lars at his room and they were about to leave when..

Talia: Wait, brats!!
Rhen: What is it?
Talia: Let me go with you to the Sun Shrine.
Rhen: Why don't you go there yourself?
Talia: You heartless kids want to leave a hot beautiful woman like me to travel alone?? That's evil! Besides, I forgot the way!!
Rhen: *sweatdrops* Okay, as long as you don't cause any trouble.


Note: No offense, Amaranth Games

No response? What the...? *shakes hand angrily*

Chapter 9: The Northern Isle

Somewhere near the coast of the Eastern Isle

Rhen: So, the Oracle say we need to go to the Sun Shrine. Where is it again?
Lars: It is located in the Mists in the Northern Isles.
Rhen: And how do we travel there?
Talia: You kids spend way too much time talking! Do more, talk less!
Rhen: You're one to say. Do you have any idea how to go there?
Talia: The answer is right in front of you! Robot boy, transform into a giant mecha and take us there!
Lars: I am incapable of doing that.
Talia: YOU CAN'T? Man, you're a low quality robot!
Lars: I am not a robot.
Talia: Yes, you are. You speak like a robot, looks like a robot, and does things like a robot. Therefore, you are a robot.
Lars: I AM NOT. I DO NOT HAVE GUNS ON MY FINGERS AND I CANNOT KILL SHADOWS AND I DO NOT HAVE PALLADION AS A PERSONA.
Rhen: ARGH! Shut up, you two! Lars, you can use Gate, right? Use that to take use to the northern isle!
Lars: I cannot do that. It will only take us to another dimension.
Rhen: So you can send things to another dimension, which is supposed to be very energy consuming, but you can't take us to another island?
Lars: Dimension magic is not so magic-consuming. Where did you learn that from?
Rhen: XXXholic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.
Talia: You damn kid needs to watch less manga and animes.
Person: Umm, excuse me.
Everyone: *in an angry tone* YES?!
Person: Err, if you want to go to the Northern Isle, we can take you there.
Rhen: How so?
Person: Look around you.

The party looked around and realizes, they were in a harbor all along.

Talia: So, HOW COME NONE OF YOU DUMB KIDS REALIZES IT??
Rhen: Don't ask me! Lars, shouldn't you be able to detect??
Lars: Your presence alone is disturbing the work of my sensors.
Rhen: So you're saying it's MY fault??
Talia: No, it's BOTH OF YOU!
Rhen & Lars: YOU, TOO!
*the group gets into a fight*

A while later

Boatman: You want me to take you to the northern isle?
Rhen: *huffing* yes, please.
Boatman: You guys looks so worn up. What happened?
Talia: *huffing* Don't ask about that...
Boatman: Er, Okay.

And so they goes to the Northern Isle.

Northern Isle

Rhen: What's this? Brrr, I..m free...zing.
Lars: ...
Rhen: Lars, Brr, what's...wrong?
Lars: ...
Talia: Seems like he can't function properly due to the cold.
Rhen: So, brrr...what...should...brrr...we...do..?
Talia: This. *cracks knuckles* HIIYYAA!! *slaps Lars 100 times AT HIGH SPEED*
Rhen: Wow.
Lars: RECEIVING SHOCK. DANGER DETECTED. ACTIVATING EMERGENCY MODE.
Talia: See?
Lars: ENEMY DETECTED. PREPARING ATTACK.
Talia: Wait, enemy? That's not me, right?
Lars: I'ma chargin' mah lazer.
Talia: Wait, wait, wait!
Lars: *shoots huge laser beams*

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM

Talia: AAAAHHHHH!!!!
Rhen: .....Are we gonna be alright?

Brumwich

Rhen: At last, a city. Nowwe can treat your wounds, Talia.
Talia: *all black and burnt* Yeah, right.
Lars: Would you like to elaborate on what was happening while I was shut down?
Talia: *glares at Lars*
Rhen: You better not ask that, Lars.

Suddenly they heard dwarfs chatting.

Dwarf 1: It happened again.
Dwarf 2: ..The earthquake.
Dwarf 1: When are they gonna stop?
Dwarf 2: Sheesh, I'm tired already of these earthquakes and blizzards.
Rhen: They know the cause of the blizzards? Excuse me, mind telling us about that?
Dwarf 1: Oh, you see, the Mountain King and the Snow Queen is fighting again.
Dwarf 2: Yeah, the King sends earthquakes and the Queen sends blizzards to scare each other off.
Rhen: Do you know what caused that?
Dwarf 1: No idea. And that last earthquake was stronger than usual.
Dwarf 2: Yes, and I saw some strange lights and an explosion. Wonder what that could be.
Rhen:...
Talia:...
Lars: What is it??
Rhen: Er, thank you for the information, friends. Oh, and the last one, do you know where this King and Queen lives?
Dwarf 1: The King lives north of the village.The Queen usually lives with him, but since they're fighting, she moves to her palace.
Rhen: Thanks, bye.



Sorry if it's a bit lame and corny .

I like the story!
Good job!

how much longer till the next one?

Sorry, probably I won't be updating soon. I'm too busy right now. Too busy playing Gates of Night, I mean . Lydia is awesome! I'll try to include her somehow in this story
