". . .Haha i'm surprised everyones
Surprised, or maybe I shouldn't be
Aheh." Laughter begins to bounce from wall to wall.Far was in the back of the crowd in a trance with the rest as Sparks controlled everyone with a wave of comedy. "Everyone knows
I'm a Gripik, obviously. I'm not such a bad guy right? I was flying down Elmos in central and some old Shadruk stopped me and asked me
If I was their to take over. That was 400 years ago, I'm 34." A soft laughter seeped out from the audience.
"I was on Elmos because I had to
See a friend, Jenna. He told me
He was running for office in West Kamos and I had to talk him out of it."
Sparks began to pace back in forth.
"Have you seen the new " theaters"
They've been building?" The crowd erupted in a roaring "yes"
"Why would I want to go somewhere
When I could use the virtual lobby at home? Its definitely a gimmick that will fail." Sparks started to notice that though he had a few laughs it was a cold night. He began to brush on
Society a bit more "I live in warf
City; west Kamos. In my opinion the most beautiful part of the country.
Definitely the cleanest." Sparks sighs as Silence becomes the loudest noise in the room. He sits down on his chair
And begins to speak once more "we need a temple." Everyone began to cheer."
"I don't understand why we still don't have one. It was promised to all of us right? But were the only country without one? Its kept us segregated within the city and from other countries, if we had the 11th temple built here then the grid would be active and we wouldn't have to fight struggle for resources anymore."
"Their are 9 temples, it would be the 10th!" Jeff yelled out. The crowd was still making noise as Sparks began to take back control and calm everyone down.
"I believe in the 10th temple don't you?" He gets up and begins to pace back and fourth again. "400 years ago. . when the gripiks came, eherm.
Well needless to say after a hundred years when the new nations were built so were the temples. Of course to connect the cities and power the new world but uh. . .their was a human named Joshua who appeared.
He was different from the other humans, I was told he walked to a faroff land and built the tenth temple
And that is what has given us the limited power for the Kamos and full power to the countries with temples.
You see, even though we don't have a temple, were all connected."
"How come the ones who go to the 9 omasses have never seen the tenth temple if it exists?" Asked Far,
"Their has been other joshuas."
Sparks uttered. "Joshua has been
Spoken about in different stories throughout different time periods but
has different distinguishing characteristic yet always human.
They say in he appeared 200,300,400 years ago. . .the original story has been lost over the years."Far and Jeff left the club and stood outside, "that was horrible."
Kosuke said as he walked up to the two.
"Kosuke Did you see anyone else from class?""Yeah, some left early though. Tonight wasn't really that funny."
Far began to float, it was 3 am and it was going to take 40 minutes of flying to get home. "Jeff, kosuke are you ready?"
"I have to go to my grandmas tonight" kosuke said, the group slowly parted ways as they flew away.
