The Last Normal Years

Cold Cruelty of a Dystopian Tritonia

(There will be no gore, scars will be shown, and fears will be displayed. There will be a small amount of violence done by a bully and some whip-lashings as well. And if you are triggered by these things, wait till the next two chapters have been published to continue reading Season 1 of the Winx Club's story. A child's story that has some whipping in it involved is "The Whipping Boy", this is partially inspiration by it because I have read it. Other influences from this Chapter and the next is a less Known story called "The Giver" which I read in middle school as a school assignment.)

Riven turning the AC up had shaken his enemy out of my head, and I sat in his Mom's office watching regular old citizens in an emotionless dance. There were loads of sameness levels, people seemed to be walking around in endless loops few of them... none of them seemed not yo have fogged over eyes.

"Come on, down to the third level, Sky of Eraklyon." Riven spoke behind him. "I know what he tried to pull on you with your brains. I am not stupid nor am I that dumb Sky."

"I didn't think you were." said Sky. "I'm sorry I doubted you, you were the one who rescued and saved me, I should have been more grateful for your help and I was not in the position to argue with your reasonings, directions and statements."

"That's the first and only noble apology I have heard in 5 years, that's very humble of you, Sky. I forgive you. We may just become really invaluable honorable team after all this time together getting to know each other." Riven is sympathetic and has forgiven his strange new friend, Sky of Eraklyon himself.

"How are we gonna get off the planet?" questions Sky. "We can't trust any of the citizens. The guards of each town and the guardsmen are all looking for the both of us. And my ship's broken and I doubt the mud will let us pull it out anytime soon."

"There is a crew we can trust though to help us get out of everything."

"And who is that?" Sky questions.

"Captain Rixel he commands the sailing ship out on the ocean called the Silver Diamond. His crew's so far out it avoids the hypnosis control of the rest of the kingdom's been under. He's helped me save many lives in the past before the King started coming after me. We just need to find where he'll pull into port and to do that we have to go into the belly of the beast."

"You mean enter the palace, that seems more than slightly risky."

"Ah! But it's the last they'd expect from me to do. There's a secret entrance through this back tunnels that can get us inside undetected, Sky." comments Riven.

"Do you hear that?" asked Sky. He walked over to a janitorial closet with cleaning supplies. A boy with brown hair was freezing from the AC being turnt up.

"Cabin boy, Thomas?" questioned Riven. "What happened?"

"Riven is that you how have you survived this long?" He asked chattering. Riven took off his jacket.

"I was well taught, by great ladies of the old courts." sighed Riven. "I've been surviving only on their knowledge. How's the Silver Diamond? How's Captain Rixel?"

"Not so good, I am afraid Jasper's pilots caught onto us. They missed me I got out through the hatch in the deck. They didn't double check what they were doing with the ship though. The rowboat's in one of the secret underground river tunnels neck to the side moats. I snuck onto the rowboat." Thomas said. "But the moat is filled with sharp toothed nasties critters."

"What kind of Sharp toothed Nasty Critters?" asks Sky.

"A numbered assortment of different sharp
toothed creatures such as Golden Titan Triggerfisher, The Greyended Moray eels, and the Giant Wolfeels, not to mention a couple hammerhead sharks."
