Ark Lore part 3: Where It All Began

Uranus

Lars pulled his hand out of the pink hole. He felt a surge of power flow through him. He began to glow a bright red.

"Time to get out of here," Lars said with a big grin. He tightened his grip on the Axe of the Oppressed, and sung it up before slamming the blade into the ground. "AGHHHH!" Lars shouted as red energy from the Stone of Strength shot out of Lars and created a large hole above Lars giving him an escape route. Lars flew out for the hole and looked around to find himself behind the manor. He flew towards the entrance to find Raymond shouting at guards in a panic.

"Alright you three get that bookshelf out of the way! You go find the rest of the guards before I really lose it!" Raymond shouted in a panic concerned for Lars.

"OH I can have some fun with this," Lars laughed to himself

He snuck behind a wall so Raymond couldn't see him. After the guards left to fulfill their orders Raymond collapsed down on the ground and pulled a picture out of his lab coat. Lars couldn't see what it was, but he knew this was his chance to scare the shit out of Raymond. Raymond looked at the picture and began to talk to himself.

"OH man if we have to stay longer than what we were supposed to Zac is going to kill me!" Raymond said nervously as Lars crepet up behind him. Lars was close enough to get a look at the photo, it was a photo of Zac and Raymond kissing. You could see Zac's arm in the corner holding the camera. Lars was just over a foot behind Raymond.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure Zac would kill the two of us if we return late," Lars said as he shrugged his shoulders casually.

"Yeah he would LARSSS!!!!!!!" Raymond shouted as he realized that Lars was behind him. "Where have you been!" Raymond screamed as he playfully punched Lars in his shoulder.

"After I fell in the hole I found this tunnel and had some visions about Uranus and Phayor. We need to leave now!" Lars said seriously

"Wait what? What were your visions?" Raymond asked confusedly why they have to leave so soon after just getting to Uranus.

"I saw the past and the present, both Uranus and Earth. I saw Phayor on fire and the location of the Stone of Peace. I also saw Zac and Alvin I think they may be in danger."

"Oh wow," Raymond replied. "If Zac and Alvin are in danger we have to leave now!" Raymond said defensively out of worry for his future husband. 

"Yes definitely I saw what I saw for a reason. We should leave as soon as possible," Lars said seriously.

"Okay let's gather everyone and leave," Raymond said before walking back into the manor to retrieve the guards he just sent in.

An Hour Later

The 20 guards were struggling to get airborne with the convoy. Lars and Raymond observed from the sky, Lars was visibly frustrated and Raymond was trying to find a way to get the convoy airborne.

"Why is it not moving!?" Lars said with clenched fists.

"Well it's probably because of the increased gravity of Uranus, we haven't used any of our supplies from earth, and we have added weight from whatever artifacts the guards found," Raymond answered Lars' question.

"Well we need it to get up in the air now!" Lars said in frustration. As Lars began to breathe heavier the Stone of Strength began to glow a deep red different than it ever had.

"Ummm Lars are you okay?" Raymond asked as he noticed the Stone of Strength begin to glow.

"Yeah I'm fine!" Lars said sharply. Lars flew down and landed which caused the soft icy ground to crack. "Wow what was that?" Lars thought to himself as he noticed this unusual strength. "Wait a minute," Lars thought to himself. Lars walked over to the convoy and asked a guard if he could take his spot on the convoy. The guard agreed and the two swapped places. Lars clipped the rope onto his harness.

"Alright everyone on three start flapping your wings!" Lars shouted. "1... 2... 3..." Lars shouted and began to flap his wings. The Stone of Strength glowed more and Lars demonic wings flapped more aggressively. Soon they began to glow red themselves. "Come... on... we can do IT!" Lars struggled to shout as he began to leave the ground. Soon the rest of the guards were off the ground. Before they knew it they were airborne and leaving Uranus.
