Trial Of Aryse [draft one]

A trip to remember.

Hail pulled up to the Capital building,and let us out.

"I'll be waiting, Cylin!" He winked.

"How do you know my name?!" Cylin shouted, but Hail was already rolling up the window.

"Creep." He wispered, climbing the many steps of the building behind us.

We reached the top of the building, and the security stopped us.

"Names?" They said, pointing a taser at us. I was frozen in place, but Astrid was amazed.

"Wow, is that a real taser? Those are only goverment issued!" She stepped back. "Well that makes sense, your goverment workers so naturally-"

"Names!" The guard on the left shouted.

I was still frozen in place, so Cylin stepped up.

"I'm Cylin,fourth in command,this is our leader, Aryse, our second in command, Astrid, and our third in command, Orion." He said with his sweetest smile. It was creepy.

"Region?" The right side guard asked.

"A-Ake." I managed to stutter out.

The left guard pulled out a clipboard, and nodded to the other guard.

The wide doors opened, it seemed by themselves, and presented us with a hallway, leading to a couple of doors. We walked in and in silence reached the doors. A loud slam followed, the closing of the main doors.I walked over to the door that said "Supply pick up", and opened it.

I saw a tiny man sitting at a tall desk, writing on a sheet of paper. He looked up and saw us.

"Well? Are you coming in or not?" He asked.

Cylin pushed me, and I stumbled forward. I knew it was him, because no one else on my team would ever push me. Exept maybe Astrid.

I kept walking until I reached the desk.

" Are you group four from Region Ake?" The tiny man almost wispered.

I froze, because I knew I would have to say no and that would be lying, and I hate lying, so Cylin stepped up again.

"No, they got sick."

"With what, exactly?" The tiny man leaned closer.

"Flu."

"And your group leader authorized your swap, correct?" He leaned closer.

"Yep." Cylin's smile twitched.

He leaned back. "Alright. I will have the charcoal shipped to Ake."

"Wait, charcoal? Thats lame." Astrid  said.

She just can not keep her mouth shut. I saw Orion grab her shoulder and shake his head.

"Sorry." Astrid mumbled.

"Thank you sir, we'll be on our way!" Cylin said, starting to turn around.

"Wait a minute." Tiny man said. I started to panic. What if he was suspicious of us? I mean, if you have the flu, normally you still go on quests.

"Sign this paper, group leader." He said. Oh, thank goodness! As I stepped up, he leaned forward again.

"Why haven't you been talking? Some snakes don't bite, remember that." He was a biting snake, I just knew it, so I stayed quiet.

I finished signing, and we walked out. Now the fun part of the journey begins! Since we were there for a day, we decided to go to mini Ono, the most cute and exotic of the three regions.

The three regions, Ake, Ono, and Daem, all share a capital, and Ake and Ono have mini versions here. Daem, however, is a bad place to be, no matter who you are, and what your there for. There are no roads, and I hear thats where the most evil man in the world lives, controlling all of Daem.

His name is Klaus. Not really all that threatening, huh?

But back to us, we hopped in the limo, and rode west. The whole time, Hail was rolling down his window, winking at Cylin, and rolling his window back up. The fifth time, Cylin  yelled, "Shouldn't you be driving?!" to which Hail replied, "Well, I haven't crashed yet!" and rolled up his window. Then he screamed, so I got scared and screamed back.

"Just kidding, folks, we are not crashing. Calm yourselves." Hail yelled from the front.

I'm starting to dislike him.

We got into mini Ono, and decided to go clothes shopping! We chose the most fancy store we could find, and went in.

"Oh my gosh what's that. I feel like I have seen it before in movies." Orion pointed at a chandeluer.

"Obiously it's a chandelier." A passerby commented.

"Isn't it pronounced chandeluer?" Astrid asked.

"Only if your from Ake." She laughed.

Astrid looked her dead in the face.  " We are."

She stared at us for a minute, and walked away.

"Rude," Cylin muttered, walking away.

We walked into the fanciest clothing racks we could find, and went nuts. I found a dark blue dress that complimented my black hair perfectly, Orion found a nice green dress for Astrid, who was instantly amazed.

"It matches my eyes!" She exclaimed.

Orion found a nice grey tuxedo for himself, and we all found Cylin...

A butler outfit.

"No. You are not doing this again. I will not be forced to do this."

Orion held up fifty of his coins that we got from Hail. " I'll give you half of my coins."

"Me too," Astrid volunteered.

"Same." I said, because I really wanted to see this.

"I hate you all. But, get your money ready." He sighed, snatching the outfit and walking into the changing rooms.

We all looked at each other. Victory! Me and Astrid each dug out fifty coins.

Cylin walked out a couple minutes later.

"This thing was a pain to put on. I'm too tall." He said.

We squealed with happiness. We didn't listen to his complaint at all.

"Say something butlery, please?" Orion squeaked.

"Give me my coins first." He protested.

"Say 'Cylin Ruyth, at your service' with the most charming smile you have!" Astrid jumped up and down.

"Fine." He took a deep breath in, and stuck out his hand, bending over mildly.

"Cylin Ruyth, at your service." He said, forcing a smile.

I nearly screamed. It was amazing! I gave him my coins, and did a little dance.

"I'm not buying you lunch, I hope you know." He walked back into the changing room, half of all our coins in his hands.

Lunch. I forgot about lunch. Ono has such great food, I'm sure it's all expensive! We could go to a fast food chain, but those are only in Ono, so that has to be expensive as well!

When Cylin walked out, we headed out without buying anything, because now we were too poor, and Cylin didn't want anyting.

We noticed our limo was gone, so we assumed it was fueling up. We walked to the nearest Mick Mack, the burger and fries place, and ordered the only meal we could afford, a cheese burger and a large fry with a drink, while Cylin got a Double burger and a large fry with a bubble tea. We got our orders, and just as we were starting to eat, the doors opened.

Some police officers walked up to our table,and pointed a taser at us.

"Put your hands up, you are under arrest."
