Garlox quest

Chapter 15; Squishy lifeform

While Mex was walking around the cloud village, he noticed even more rubble, and debris. 'If I may be so bold, February.. What happened here?' The ghost stopped moving, and shook a little. 'The rubbish that your eye is catching, is not new. On the contrary! It all happened thirtheen years ago...' The ghost sat down, and started to tell. 'Firstly, I have to tell you a little about my people.. Or maybe even about myself! As you know, my name is February, i'm the second oldest of my brothers and sisters. The oldest is my brother, January. We have been burdened with the task of looking out over the people of this world. Keeping balance between good and evil. It has always been a one person task, but before we were attacked, my brother stopped responding, and even the people he had to watch over all suffered. As the second oldest, I had to take his place. But I had no experience what so ever, I tried everything, but somehow someone always was unhappy, or hurt. No matter the choise I made. I... I fled, I couldn't handle it anymore. But once I returned home, everything was like this.. I found a message from my younger sister, March. She stated that she was attacked from within the shadows, it was an ambush, and they had lost. As a curse, everyone was turned into a star, and shot into space. I disguissed myself as this star looking ghost to prevent myself from being revealed to the enemy. However, once I transformed into this, I couldn't seem to return to my original state! In this case, we would pray in the town centre, but as you know, that is destroyed as well.' She sighed, and stood up again. 'That's why you're my only hope! If you have a pure heart, you can restore it. And I can pray to return to my original state!' She turned around, and gazed deeply in Mex's eyes. ''Do you understand?' Mex had a hard time processing all this, but he didn't doubt any word that Febuary said. 'I do.. Please take me there!' 'You are already here!' The ghost drifted off, and showed him dilapidated fountain in the middle of what seemed to be a happy place, once. 'Please.. Put your hand against it!' Mex hesitated. 'You will bring me back, once I restore this place.. Right?'

'So, you mean to tell me that you lost the witch, scared an entire town, and weren't able to kill the intruder, WHEN THERE WERE FOUR OF YOU AGAINST 2 OF THEM?!' Queenly was kneeling in front of the king, once she told him everything about what happened. 'I.. I am affraid so, sir.' She lowered her head even more, trying to show remorse. Her pride was hurt, but she had to tell the King. 'I am VERY dissapointed in you, young lady. Not are you one of our best knights, but you are also one of our most skillful tacticians!' Queenly felt her ego being hurt even more. 'I.. I know, Sir.. I don't know what has gotten over me... H-however, I did bring one of the intruders... I hope he will be able to tell you more about the other one.' The judge, and Gnorx held Lynch tight, and brought him in. 'Yes, that was the very least you could do for me. You may go and interrogate him.' The king turned around, and looked down on his people. 'I will remember this, Queenly. Try to work on your act, understood?' 'Y-yes, sir!'' Queenly stood up, and walked away quickly. She was too embarrassed to stay there any longer. She just walked straight past the Judge and Gnorx. 'Oi, lassy, where do you want your guy?' The Judge closed her eyes, and made a sour looking face 'Please, either close your mouth, or eat a tube of toothpaste. Your breath is melting my nose off.' Lynch tried to free himself, but they had robbed him from his magic boots, and spell books. 'I don't think you are in a position to complain. I might lose my job because of you! How would I tell my pig husband all about that, huh?' 'Why, yes.. I guess being married to you is even a worse crime!' Lynch rolled his eyes, as he tried to see if there was any magic left inside his body. 'That's enough laddy, off you go.' Gnorx picked Lynch up, and put him over his shoulder. 'Let's just follow the lassy, will you?' 'Yes... I see no other reason to stay here, while Queenly just stormed off like that!'

Mex pressed his hand against the fountain, but nothing seemed to happen.. 'Was I.. Wrong?' February kneeled infront of the fountain, and tried to pray one more time. Suddenly water spouted from the fountain, restoring itself slowly. 'Did it work?' Mex removed his hand from the fountain, and turned around. February was slowly turning into a fairy. She had purple boots, and a pink striped legging. Her arms were bare, and she was wearing a purple like top and tutu skirt. Golden strokes of hair would form itself into a ponytail, and hang gracefully from her face. Alongside a messy fringe, she gained eyes that were a deep azure.  Once she turned around to thank Mex, two graceful pink wings grew from her back. 'Is.. Is this real?' In sheer happiness, she jumped into the sky, and fluttered her wings like she had never before. 'This feels so good!' She would fly higher, and slowly see her town restore. Fallen bricks would repair itself slowly, and burned buildings would slowly grow new bricks, where old bricks where useless. Mex looked around as well, he had never seen anything like this happen. He would think about how those destroyed homes would hold people again, who would live in peace, and happiness. ''Wait.. Home?'' He felt a painful sting go through his head. 'Wait! February!' He saw her soaring through the sky, and tried to chase her. 'Please! You have to take me back home!' February looked down, and remembered that she had forgotten all about Mex's quest. 'I'm so sorry!' She said, while quickly landing on both her feet gracefuly. 'Take my hand, I will take you home again!' She smiled, and offered Mex her hand. He quickly grabbed it, and they would both teleport back to Mex's house. 'Hello? Lisai?' he tried to call Lisai, but there was no trace of her inside the house. 'I might be mistaking, but is Lisai your sister?' February said, while discovering Mex's house. She had no idea what any of this stuff inside was. 'Yes, she is.. I was hoping that Queenly would have released her by now, but I was wrong.. Can you.. Teleport me to the castle?' February smiled. ''I would teleport you to the centre of the sun if you'd ask!'
