The Battle Between Garnok and Jorvik... An sso series.

Saving Anne Part 1.

'Sadie! Sadie! Wake up!'
I wake up. I must've drifted off to sleep. The Soul Riders were looking at me...
They're here! I thought they weren't looking for me... but they were... all along.
'Where did you go?' Alex asked as she pulled me off of my horse.
'I was angry cause Elizabeth told us something bad might happen.' I frown, feeling guilty about leaving my friends behind.
'Where's Madison? Where's Ashley? Where's Alonzo?' I ask, sounding concerned.
'They're all here!' Lisa smiled and stepped aside... Madison, Ashley and Alonzo came into my sight.
'GUYS!' I scream and I ran over to them... I've never been this happier before (Maybe except when Alonzo and I officially became boyfriends and girlfriends!)
Alonzo looked up and smiled and ran over to me... he hugged me tightly.
'Sadie! Never do that again! You scared me! Please! Promise me!' He cried.
'I promise Alonzo!' I answer.
'SADIE OH MY GOD WE MISSED YOU!' Ashley and Madison screamed together...
'I missed you too guys!' I blush and hug them.
'Sadie! Are you ready?' Alex asks.
'Yeah!' I reply.
'Guys... I think it's better for you to stay out here... I don't want you to get hurt by Sabine if she's lurking around in there.' I explain.
'No Sadie. It's fine. We can handle Sabine if she's lurking around in there.' Madison smiled and walked into Guardians Dale.
'Our little sister is growing up!' Ashley laughed and walked into Guardians Dale.
My best friends (Including Emmy) Followed on.
'Are you ready girls?' Lisa asks and mounts her horse.
'Sure we are!' Alex cackles and mounts on her horse.
Linda and I mount our horses and off we went... into the cold, dark

* * *

'Welcome! Welcome!' EverGray started.
'The big day is finally here! It is time to return to Pandoria!' He continued.
I've been to Pandoria lots of times... I just don't think I've written it down before!
'Pandoria... curse this body of mine! How I wish I could travel with you girls. There is so much I could show you!' He stamps his feet and groans.
'You're right about this one, Elizabeth! She does seem special!' EverGray whistles.
'That girl... the reason why the keepers of Aideen formed.'
'EverGray! Please! We don't know for sure!' Elizabeth cut in, standing strong.
'Perhaps Fripp was right for a change. Even a broken clock is accurate twice a day!' EverGray continued, not listening to a word Elizabeth was saying.
'Sounds like a job for-' Big Bonny got interrupted.  (Yes! Big Bonny is here!)
'A metaphorical clock Bonny!' EverGray rolls his eyes.
Bonny mumbles to herself.
'Are you ready for the trials, Sadie?' EverGray asks.
Wait? What trials? Nobody told me about Trials...
'I'm ready for anything!' I smile!
(Nope... no... no I'm not ready for anything!)
'Such Enthusiasm! You'll need it on the road ahead!' EverGray explained, smiling to himself.
'EverGray! Stop!' Elizabeth ordered.
'This is why the Keepers sent you away! Always pushing forward without looking back!' Elizabeth continued.
EverGray was sent away? There's so much I need to know about!
'About the lives were responsible for! You're as bad as Fripp!' She growled.
'Elizabeth... I-'
'You of all people should know! You were there! The last time!' Elizabeth argued.
'Catherine...' EverGray mumbled.
Who's Catherine?
'Who's Catherine?' I ask.
'I'm sorry, Sadie! I should have told you before, and I will tell you the story in full. Soon!' Elizabeth explained.
'But that time is not now!' She continued.
Concorde cantered into Guardians Dale.
Concorde has always been with Anne, this is why she's coming with us. To save Anne.
'Is everything okay? Elizabeth and EverGray seem upset about something. I suppose we're a little on edge today!' Lisa whispers. I don't think she's been listening.
I see Alex roll her eyes at Lisa.
'But today, everything changes! We'll bring Anne home! I'm sure of it!' Lisa smiles.
'When we first came here, Guardians Dale seemed so large... now it's feeling a little crowded!' Lisa whispers again!
Lisa looks at EverGray, then at Big Bonny, then at Elizabeth and finally laid eyes on Derek!
(Derek is a postman that lives in SilverGlade village!)
'Derek?' Lisa shouts.
'I'd heard you'd come back to Jorvik! Are you still performing? I'd love to see you play!' Derek shouts back, making Lisa blush.
'How'd you get dragged into our merry band of misfits?'
'Anne's in trouble. They needed help. How could I not get involved!'
'They...?' Lisa questioned.
'Bonny?' Linda shouted.
'So the business with the cosmic clock and the circus didn't scare you away?' Linda continued.
'Honey, it takes more than a fancy-pants flim-flam man to frighten ol' Bonny' Big Bonny said in an accent.
'What would Fripp say about all these new faces helping the Soul Riders?' Alex asks.
'What's a Fripp?' Derek asks.
I could hear Alex snicker from behind me, which made me laugh as well!
'You'll meet him soon, I hope. Once we've saved Anne. He needs help as well!' Lisa explained.
'Concorde?!' Elizabeth smiles, finally realising Concorde was standing right in front of her.
Concorde neighs softly.
'Not her, little sister. That chapter is closed.' Meteor, Linda's horse, explained.
'Your bond is with another now. Patience.' Meteor continued.
'What's going on?' Lisa asks.
Alex rolls her eyes again, and looks at me like she wants to get away from Lisa.
'Concorde seeks to restore her bond with the strongest rider of the Sun Circle. On this world, that person is Elizabeth, who bonded souls with Concorde long ago.' Rhiannon explained.
(Yes... even Rhiannon is here!)
'Look at them. It's heart-breaking. Their love for eachother is strong. Can't they at least see eachother for a moment?' Lisa asks.
'I'm sorry Lisa, not until Concorde has restored her bond with Anne!' Rhiannon looked at Lisa to see if she was taking it in.
'Sadie... A word?' Elizabeth called.
I dismounted my horse and walked over to Elizabeth.
'Concorde needs a friend to get her through this next step. I hope it might be you.' Elizabeth said firmly.
'Sure!' I reply.
I almost walk away but before I do I ask Elizabeth something.
'Could we maybe take a picture together... if something bad happens... This will be my only memory of you!' I sigh... hoping she'll say yes.
'Of course Sadie!' Elizabeth Smiles.
I take out my phone from my backpack, I open the camera app and take a selfie with Elizabeth... I also did it with Rhiannon, Derek, Big Bonny and EverGray... I did this because if they die... this will be my only memory with them.
'Could you do me the honour of standing Concorde at her statue?' Elizabeth asks.
'And when I give the sign, say these words...' Elizabeth whispers.
I nod my head and mount SpiritGuardian again, leading Concorde to her statue.
                                                                                    * * *

'Keepers of Aideen!' Elizabeth called from the stony platform.
'Friends... the time has come to bring home our lost sister Anne!' Elizabeth continued.
'Alex and Tin Can'
'Linda and Meteor'
'Lisa and StarShine'
'Sadie and SpiritGuardian'
'And dearest Concorde, who walks alone' Elizabeth called all of our names... including our horses names.
'The road ahead is most dangerous. The enemy knows were coming!' She explained.
'But they have forgotten how strong you are when you ride as one!'
'It's time!' I hear EverGray whisper to Elizabeth.
'Guardians! To your marks!' Rhiannon calls.
'Lightning Circle, Aideen's Judgement, send us your power!' Alex calls and her statue lights up in a purply - pandorian colour.
'Moon's circle, Aideen's wisdom, guide us!' Linda calls and her statue lights up the same way it did to Alex's.
'Star circle, Aideen's heart, keep us true!' Lisa calls and of course, her statue lights up the same way it did to Alex and Linda's.
'Sun circle, Aideen's shield, protect us!' I call, and yes, Concorde's statue lights up the same way as Alex, Linda's and Lisa's.
The ground shakes harshly and I almost fall off of SpiritGuardian. I can see Madison, her face is full of fear. Ashley is protecting Madison and Alonzo Is looking at me.
I look back at Alonzo.
'Don't worry Sadie! I'll be thinking of you!' Alonzo mouths to me.
'I love you!' I mouth back at him, I do hope that no one saw me mouthing those three words.
'I love you too!' Those were the last words he mouthed to me.
'Woah!' Derek whispers. I can just about hear him over the ground shaking.
'Woah is right, kid!' Big Bonny answers Derek. I smile, Bonny is so funny!
'The portal stands ready. The rest is up to you girls!' Elizabeth explains.
'Be strong. Be brave, and bring back our Anne!' Elizabeth continues.
'Aideen be with you.'
I hear Madison whimper.
'Aideen will be with you!' Elizabeth says before we head off into the wild Pandoria.
We rode off into the portal to Pandoria, which just appeared.
I ride into the portal and hear Madison shout.
'SADIE! NO! DON'T GO! SADIE!'
I could tell she was crying. I know why she doesn't want me to go. She doesn't want to lose me.

(If you don't know who big Bonny is, she's basically like a Nan to me... she's so special and Ancient!)
