The Aura's Alone (Book 4)

Chapter 4

It was surprising how quickly they agreed to his plan.

He told them what he thought, excluding the whole 'these people who claim to own us told me to' thing, and they agreed. It really shocked him- but he felt glad they trusted him enough, too.

Blossom had decided she had enough walking around, and used her ability to try and teleport them there. Individually, of course. She hadn't trained her teleportation enough to teleport all of them. It took a kick into her, but she played it off fine, even though Lucas could sense how much she just wanted to curl up and sleep.

She teleported them all somewhere near the entrance, the only place she could really think of since she's never been there. The whole time while walking up there, Lucas talked with the creators, investigating them. They wouldn't tell him anything. At this point, it seemed like it was all just a game to them. It probably was.

After getting annoyed with them, he decided to distract himself by wondering how Blossom's teleportation worked. He's never really been part of it before. It felt tingly, like someone started tickling his chest at the beginning. When they were in the process of teleporting, he couldn't sworn he was dissolving. He wasn't, really, but it sure did feel like it.

All these thoughts came to a halt when they finally reached the entrance.

"Woah," Cookie whispered, awestruck, from beside him.

The town was sort of humble, but huge. At the entrance there was a light-brown brick path— the bricks seemed like they were made out of some sort of wood?— that stretched through to whole town, to all the different buildings. The buildings, however, were made of a darker color. They mainly looked just like trees, but with added stained glass windows usually in the colors of an aesthetic gray and holes for doors. They came in all sizes, and there were signs all over. Things like "Uncle Olan's Diner", "Saloon", "Dragonfly Hotel", and "Welcome to DFC!" in fancy text.

Blade whistled. "This. This is great."

Cross slithered up beside Lucas so she could be at the front. "Hmm..." was all she let out.

"So, great and holy leader," Clara playfully stole Nature's current nickname for Lucas, "What's the plan?"

Lucas blinked slowly, then thought what's the plan? To the creators.

Can't tell you. Wouldn't be fun. Chez answered boredly.

Maybe try taking a walk around? Splitting up or nah. Shyster suggested. There was the sound of fur moving, he guessed it was Anime nodding. This made him question extremely how they were talking to him, and why he could hear everything they were doing.

Yeah, that might help you progress. Seriously- split up though. Cloud told him before everything in his mind went silent again. He opened his eyes, realizing he had closed them.

"We can split up and explore the town." Lucas put on a confident smile, trying to soothe the emotions of unease he got from his friends. "Then we can meet up... in the center of town? Town square, I think?"

There was a girly squeal from Jewel. "Ok. Ladies, I see a shop. Let's go." She grabbed the paw of Kim with her tail, who panicked and grabbed onto Cross who grabbed onto Blossom who grabbed onto Clara who grabbed onto Ember.

"STAR. HELP ME." Blossom screeched out to him helplessly as she was dragged away. Star smiled and waved a goodbye, causing her to scream.

Lucas could hear Cross groaning, and Ember threatening to use one of the necklaces on display to choke them.

Blade shrugged. "Well, that takes care of them. Come on, Green girl." He grabbed Nature and put her on his shoulder. He turned around to face what was left of the group.
