Not Everything Is As It Seems... || Rainbow Quest Story ||

Chapter One: ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ʖᒷ⊣╎リリ╎リ⊣

Lets go-

Sabre was confused. Befuddled. Wrong-footed, even. Why was nothing attacking? Not even showing themselves? Heck, when the patrols spotted the darkness it looked downright scared!

POV: Sabre

Deep in contemplation, I receive a shock when I glance at the time. 1) It's 1:00 pm. 2) There is a literal Time Steve in my kitchen. Focusing on the first thing, I scramble past Time with a muttered "Sorry gotta go bye!" and out the door. The monthly leader's meeting is starting in 30 minutes. 

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but I forgot a very important detail. Light Steve said he wanted to meet with me and his 'talks' normally take forever- back to the problem. I run out the front door and sprint through the crowded streets of the kingdom. Well, its more of a shuffle. 'Dang it, its too crowded to get through. I've got 5 minutes to get there if I don't want to be late, so let's take a shortcut' I think, and I make my way back towards my house.

 I pass Time again, dash up to my bedroom, open the window, and climb onto the roof. I plan my next steps carefully, masterfully navigating my roof and jumping onto the neighbor's roof. I continue this pattern, jumping across the rooftops until I reach the training grounds where Light is waiting for me.

"There you are! I was beginning to think you were gonna be late."

"Yea sorry ab-"

"Now, I need your help." Light presses on, ignoring my half-hearted apology. "The colorless guards are spread out all over the kingdom, as you must know. We did the rotations around 20 minutes ago, and a couple didn't come back to report. Could you find them, and bring them back to me? We need everyone on guard in case the darkness attacks again."

Ughhhhhh I didn't know he called me here for chores!! Smiling to myself, I reply with a "Sure!" and run off. All orange steves are all the same, I guess. Always chores. 

Light told me that the missing guards were last seen by the front left of the wall, so I head there first. They most likely just got distracted or fell asleep in the wall. It's a boring job, it makes sense. 

I sweep through the passages in the walls, earning a few 'hellos' and smiles from any steves I pass. A dead end appears and I climb the nearest ladder to the top, finally finding what I'm looking for. 

"Hey! Guys, over here!" I yell, running over to the tired-looking three. Ignoring their mumbles of 'sorry' and 'wont happen again', I guide them back to the citadel. Once there, I shove them onto a bewildered looking Light.

  Free of Light's chores, I enter the citadel and pass the guards, running up the stairs. Entering the meeting room, I receive disapproving glares from the leaders, M and Yellow in particular.

"Let the meeting begin."

Quick A/N here I'm watching Grian's MCC All Stars now since I missed it live. My brother is watching miraculous downstairs. It's so loud and extremely hard to type on an iPad help-

Sorry for that, let's continue with the story :)

"So? What do you think, Sabre?"

Snapped from my thoughts, I desperately try to remember what they were discussing.

"I... what?"

I trail, completely confused.

"I was asking you about the new developments in the citadel, but obviously you were worrying about other things. Perhaps, share your thoughts aloud? Since its 'so~ important'"

Mocks the Yellow Leader. What am I supposed to say? 'Not to worry, only plotting to sneak out and find some villains!'? They would lock me in a bedrock box! 

"I-I um... I was j-just worrying about Time Steve! Yeah.. he swung by earlier and he looked nervous- ':)"

I stammer, inwardly cursing myself for stuttering. One thing about me, I never stutter. Ever. Not unless I lie, which I just did. 

I should go.

...

There's a window over there.

"SABRE nO-"

You really thought that was the end? Fools. I want a longer chapter-

Just kidding my hands  hurt-

Alright! First chapter finished, and Sabre's already freaking out the leaders. On top of that, chores have emerged. Hope that you all enjoyed this, I'm really excited about this story and where it will be going.
