T.E.L.O.W. - The Elemental Land Of Wonders

Chapter 14 | Leru the dragon Warrior

I had moms instinct in me, her wanting to leave and get things done. I just didn't know what to say to the king of Earth and T.E.L.O.W., asuming from what I thought that he was the king. The throne, jewelry, guardians, even your own temple?! He is most likely king. Anyways I made my way past the traps without getting hurt because for some reason the traps got disabled. Probably had something to do with Aeko using his magic, cause boy let me tell you there is alot more magic then that! So, finally I left the dark ancient temple and glanced at the bright sun and the running waterfalls. As I walked across the fragile bridge I could hear my backpack jingle with heavy items. Anyway, there I go on this adventerous journey; a part of me thought, the other part of me thought, was that I was gonna die. Obviously being in a place where it is most likely filled with tensions that go way above your human capability level, you would think death is available. However, at least I get a chance to explore and learn this system that is new to me. I went northeast to where the element of ice was, but barriers of leafs got me going straight. As I was going straight, I heard a distant sound of movement and breathing. I stalked through the leafs carefully and cautiously as I espected this "old friend". Finally, I saw the old friend and was confused yet very shocked. It was the green dragon from the forest that I saw when mom was driving the car. I quickly hid behind a tree and slowly examined it and it was pretty big, bigger than 2 school buses. It wasn't far from the temple then I thought though because it only took a couple more 30 minutes. Traveling from the start to Boabe then to the temple took hours since there was more tiredness from there then here. Across the sleeping dragon I saw some weapons that were hanging from the tree that were twice the size of me. The ones on the weapon stands looked human sized and looked worn out of thier metal. However, I pushed my body on the tree when I heard a loud echoed screech of what seems to be a bird of some sort. Then as soon as I look at the 60 feet or more tree, a giant sword comes swooping down and lands very close to me as I dodge it. The dragon woke up. He snarled, waking up, then he gave out a loud yawn. I hide behind another tree as he grabed the old sword with his scaley dragon hands. He was grinding it on a grinder making it sharper without breaking its broken edges. Then, he swooped with the sword carefully searching for a sign. He spoke "I know you are here show your self!" His voice was more of a common young adult man then any ancient accent. It is so mysterious how every little thing here is so complex. A little nerves, I walk slowly towards the area of sight. "Oh, it is you. I was wondering when you would show up." He said. "Wait who are you again? Are you Aeko's friend?" I asked. "I am Aeko's friend, except I haven't seen him in years, by the way my name is Leru." He talked messing with all the tools around him. "Have I seen you somewhere? Mabey in my childhood?" I questioned. "Oh no, yeah that was me, all thanks to the accident." He face palmed. "The accident? You mean I wasn't supposed to see you!?" I quivered. "No not at all, you see I was sent by Boabe to do an experiment after someone else already went." He murmured. I thought of who it might be and quickly moved on. "So could you tell me about yourself before you tell me what to do because I need to rest a while." I explained. "Heh rest I haven't heard of that word in a long time, you see I barely rest and resting here takes quite a while of time." He said. "Why can't you barely rest? Is it because you have to take care of all these swords?" I wondered. "Yes, however I have to watch out to see what goes on in the element of earth, to make sure trouble doesn't get in my way. Here and there people in their elements start fooling around when it is corrupted and do not even relize the single damage. A different element can spread their element powers to another and it can be permanent. Except for light and darkness because they are just contrast, they could go through with their powers without leaving a mess. Until we banished them from the element of earths grounds because they were getting into fights a lot." He finished. "Aeko told me that I have to restore the statues, because the elements corrupt over each other. Could you explain that to me better because I kind of didn't get it." I said. "So when the elements corrupt over each other that means if a fire elemental came to this element, their power could burn the forest down and it could be permanent. If the statues aren't put together then the element with slowly start to crawl over the border which keep the elements in their area. Once the statues are put together then the elements along with their people will stay in their element until the statues need to be repaired over again." He added. "Oh so then If I restore the statues the elements will be in peace, also what happens when I don't restore them in time?" I asked. "I am sure you will there is so much time for you here and when you are all done you will be teleported right back from the time you left. However If you don't, the elements will become so hazardous they will loose their power and die. Then the hope then is having the gods restore it to its original forms. Created elements cannot come back though, created elements are elements which are created by a source of power combining the two main elements, even if they are not close to their element makers. For instants the created elements such as Ice, Rock, Metal, Void, Sand, and Storm are created elements. Rock is close to wind but not close enough to fire, how this works is a chaotic war in bewteen the areas. If a created element grows big enough it could become a main element which has statues to repair. Your lucky the others aren't ready for the statues, then you would have more jobs to do." He completed. "Sounds like a lot to take in, I don't know what to say, if the elements die, then everything with it dies as well." I said looking down. "It is a sad burden to take, but it is a job willing to do, I know. In the mean time we need to get you a sword!" He said. "Wait what?" I asked.
