Paranora

Chapter #4 A HEROINE

When Nora looked up the brown haired girl had appeared she seem to be discussing something with the suit.

Afterwards he turned towards Nora, "Cloe here is gonna show you around the village and you can do whatever."

"Whatever!?"

"You're gonna do it anyways. Just remember this is our home." The suit said before walking out the door.

Cloe's wearing, metallic grey tights with an orange stripe going down the sides of the body. Her brown hair was put up in a bun. Her light tan complexion made her dark brown eyes pop. Cloe's eyes lit up, she walked over and grabbed Nora's hand and ran out of the room.

Dragging Nora behind her all the way to the village.

Wow! The village isn't a village its more of a futuristic colony with several buildings that lead to a market place. Where the stores are all built out of the ground.

Cloe red Nora's face, "We're not your average village, this is our utopia. How long do you plan on staying?"

"I don't know, I'm kind of running away from things right now."

They continued walking as they approached the village in the distance.

"You know, you look just like your grandmother?"

"Thank you! How well did you know her?"

"We were friends! She would let me tag along and look after me."

"Yeah she would try to take care of as many people as possible. Wow, she's amazing."

"She is our hero, everyone loves and respects here."

Cloe lead her into the town, there were three skyscrapers that towered over the land. Their colors were a metallic grey, orange, and a teal color. The market place was big, the rows were color coded leading to the circle, a ring of high-end businesses. In the center of the circle was the fair grounds. Everything was covered in banners like there was some big celebration about to happen. The villagers wore a series of different outfits from several different time periods. A merge of the centuries.

"It's beautiful, I love it." Nora said

It had a camp like feel to it and the people are nice. Word started to spread and people started gathering. The hero's granddaughter is here. Some people kneeled and others lowered their head. Cloe led Nora to a her grandma's shrine.

It was like any of the other shops, a one story building, it was located in the rainbow district. Black lights illuminated the whole place, crystals and other stones lined the walls, slightly glowing as they ran from the ceiling down to the floor. The glowing intensified the further they went. They walked around a corner and someone was there.

"I've been waiting for you, Nora. I was tasked to bring you this magic stone in the case of her death." The elder lady handed Nora a forearm cuff with a stone braided into it, then disappeared into the shadows. She glanced over at Cloe who didn't seem alarmed by the elder lady's dramatic exit.

She paused...Whatever.

Nora put it on, and pulled it tight. "I like it! What do you think Cloe?"

"Hot!"

"Really?!"

"Yeah!...this way." Cloe really did like it and secretly wished she could try it on.

The inner chamber was dark, the only light was from the twinkling dark violet crystals that were laid flat into the ceiling. A black stone altar, several feet in height; rested in the center of the room.

"Nora your eyes!"
