Legends of Ardonia 3: Color Balance

Chapter 1

Ten years later...

A half moon shone through the canopy of the lush, regrown forests of Felden under the cover of night. A Kaltaris zoomed by using Mobiliglide, several undead later running after him. They stopped in the middle of a clearing, looking around for their prey. The heads of three zombies were suddenly cut off. Skeletons readied their bows, but by the time they took in their surroundings there was nothing there, just the occasional flash of a firefly. Their arms were suddenly cut off and the bows fell to the ground. The Kaltaris landed in the middle of them and used Aggrostorm, killing the undead in his radius, then shot down a few more with Aggroshard. He engaged in hand to hand combat with his double bladed iron greataxe against the undead, defending himself with Protesphere as creepers blew up and skeletons shot arrows. He fired Aggrovortex at a group of monsters and killed them, then used Mobilibounce to lop off more heads. He pierced many more with Supporospike then threw a creeper with Supporolift into a collection of monsters, blowing them up. He blocked his face from two arrows with Protepoint. Up in the trees above, some familiar red markings were seen. Emmilia Prime was kneeling on a branch in the treetops and looking down on the Kaltaris. The Peace Bringer and Voltar were on her back as a stern and serious expression rested on her face, observing the Kaltaris with fierce observation. Some rustling was heard in the leaves above her. Without looking, she addressed the space.

Emmilia: "Hello, Wendy."

Wendy: "Oh my god, how do you do that?"

Wendy emerged from the leaves and sat beside Emmilia.

Emmilia: "Who else always comes here at this time of night?"

Wendy: "Hmph."

She took out some cake and started eating. She offered some to Emmilia, who accepted. The two of them watched as the Kaltaris below kept slaughtering the undead around him.

Wendy: "He's good."

Emmilia: "He should be. He's been training for five years."

The Kaltaris kept fighting on the jungle floor, panting and grunting as he swung his greataxe or used the Songs. As soon as he saw the rays of sunlight shining through the trees, he knew his training session was over. He finished any monsters that were left without hesitation. He ended with an Aggroblast to a group of zombies, defeating them. The others burned to death or ran away. He was sweating and breathing heavily as he started to sit down under a large jungle tree. Emmilia flew down from her spot above with Mobiliwings.

Emmilia: "Hey, stand at attention, Primesinger. You are still in the field of battle."

He was still panting, but he followed her orders and got up. He was seeing spots in his vision and took slow, deep breaths to focus. Wendy jumped down from the tree and greeted the Ardoni amiably. Seeing them close together, Wendy was much shorter than the Kaltaris.

Wendy: "Hi, Hadis. Would you like some cake?"

Hadis Prime: Tired "Greetings, Miss Wendy. No, I don't think I should eat right now, but thank you."

Emmilia: "You are improving, Hadis. You show great strength and skill with your greataxe, but your endurance needs work."

Hadis was still breathing heavily, proving her point.

Hadis: "I understand, Emmilia."

Emmilia: "Good. Now let's head back to civilization."
