Chapter Text
Arcadia was still in a black out, area 49b vans filling half the town making sure no one saw anything. Toby, Aaarrrgghh, and the Tarron siblings were making their way towards the mothership, after fighting the lightening bounty hunter, Tronos. Zadra and Varvatos were already back at the mothership, with Stuart.
Aja and Krel were both in their human disguises, and the four of them were walking down a street closed for construction, “That was fun.” Toby mutters, after walking in silence for too long.
“Does Earth have a different definition of fun then we do?” Krel wonders, “because that wasn’t fun.”
“We just captured a lighting bounty hunter in a bottle,” Toby explains, whipping around to walk backwards to face the Akrirdon, “it was awesome, and I wish I got a video of it for Jim.”
“Said bounty hunter escaped.” Aja responds.
“And then got caught by area 49B so it’s fine.” Toby assures, changing his stance again to face forwards, “And they don’t even know about you two yet, so we’re good.”
“You heavily concern me.” Krel responds, "More and more each day," he explains, watching as the lights started turning back on lighting up their path. As the lights fill the air, Toby takes the chance to turn his phone off that was being used as flashlight for half the time.
"I wonder if anyone is going to notice the regular hacking into the Arcadia power grid," Toby explains, glancing over at Aja.
"If they were going to notice they would've by now," Aja retorts.
“At least-” Toby starts, getting cut off by a cat jumping in front of them.
“Cat! Yum.” Aaarrrgghh mutters.
“Ooh, Hey. Little guy!” Toby says, excitedly walking towards the animal, “You lost?”
The black cat was sitting on some abandoned building equipment that was left in town for the night. The familiar looks up revealing the glasses it was wearing. “Beware.” Archie starts, pointing randomly at one of the four “You, you are in grave danger.” he explains.
“Woah- why's the cat wearing glasses?” Aja asks
“The cat just talked and you're focused on its eye wear?” Toby asks.
“We just fought a bounty hunter made out of lighting Toby, that should be the strangest part of the day." Aja retorts, "and yet a talking cat wearing glasses just jumped in front of us." she explains. "So yeah, I’d like to know why the talking cat is wearing glasses.”
“Bad eyesight.” Archie responds.
“Not cat. Familiar.” Aaarrrgghh explains.
“We don’t know what that is.” Krel responds to the troll.
“Wizard assistant.” Aaarrrgghh responds.
“Assistant?” Archie asks, “That’s very offensive, I am a wizard associate thank you very much.” The familiar jumps down, standing and walking on his hind legs, “Now, come with me or the worst will come to pass.”
“Can we go back to the fact he told us that we’re in grave danger?” Krel asks.
“I’m warning you.” Archie explains, turning to face them, “Put simply the world as you know it is about to end… Meow.”
“Wha-” Toby mutters, watching as the cat runs.
“Didn’t this happen a month ago?” Krel asks, looking over at Toby, “With the eternal night and everything?”
“Yeah.” Toby groans, “Come on.’
The four of them were following the path Archie was going, being able to see the cat running ahead of them, “should we tell Zadra and Vex?” Aja asks.
“Not yet.” Toby responds, “This is going to get interesting.”
“If you say so.” Aja mutters.
The group of them continue following Archie though town, still avoiding the many vans leaving. Steve coincidental was waiting outside the dinner, spotting the group walking through town, "What you guys doing out this late?" Steve yells, running over to the group.
"Lightening bounty hunter." Aja answers, "and then a talking cat,"
"What?" Steve pouts, grabbing Aja's hand, as they continue walking, "You guys have all the fun without me,"
"What would you have done?" Toby retorts.
"Fine," Steve mutters, joining the rest of the group.
The five of them walk in somewhat silence, the only noise was Toby randomly asking questions to Archie.
None of them get answered,
“Pets can talk? The world is ending. Again?” Toby rambles, as Archie still doesn’t react, "Sorry this is a lot to process!”
As they closed in on the bookstore, Douxie starts being able to hear Toby's dozens of complaints and questions, “Not the best timing, I know.” Douxie greets, looking up from his phone, “But we need your help all the same.”
“Douxie?” Aja asks,
“Wai–” Toby yells, being interrupted by Steve
“I thought you worked at the cafe or were, like, a model or something.” Steve asks, staring at the teenage.
Douxie starts laughing fiddling with his bracelet making it glow blue, “There’s a lot about me, you don’t know.” he explains, holding up a blue sphere for the five to see.
“What!” Toby yelps.
“Woah.” Aja mutters, looking at her twin brother who wasn’t impressed.
“I’ve seen better.” Krel grumbles, the wizard uses the magic to unlock the door, opening it for the group
“Come on then.” Douxie sighs, “The answers to all your questions are within.”
“Yeah- right in a bookstore?” Steve asks, wandering in with the others only to be met with a different sight, floating books filled the room
“Ah! There’s floating books.” Toby yelps
“Still not impressed?” Douxie asks.
“I’ve still seen better.” Krel answers.
“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” Toby rambles, looking around at the crate flying around collecting everything, “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” After a few more repeats Toby changes his statement, “So cool! So cool! So cool!” A glass globe flies into his hands, “Ooh, what’s that?”
“Put that down!” A voice from above them yells, the group of them look up to see Merlin on the ledge, “Thank the ether you’re here. We haven’t a moment to waste.”
“Whoa crusty creepy dude!”
“Whose the old guy?” Krel asks.
“Though, I had hoped for more, Hisirdoux.” Merlin complains
“I tried, I couldn’t find the changelings.” Douxie responds, “Or anyone else who could help, it is quite literally only the Trollhunters!”
“Merlin, it’s me- Toby Domzalski!” The teens yells, “You know, War Hammer, Guardian of Arcadia, Geology club president.”
“No one could forget you, chatty.” Merlin mutters.
“And Steve Palchuk, Creepslayer!”
“I have no idea who you are.” Merlin responds, looking towards the other two teens in the room , “But we’re desperate. Thankfully we have the brute.”
Aaarrrgghh was messing with Archie, “Yum.”
“I’m not anybody’s lunch. Got it?” Archie tells the troll, hitting him on the nose.
“Wait, where’s Jimbo and Claire?” Toby asks, “I thought they were with you.”
“Answers forthcoming.” Merlin responds, “Make preparations. We’ve a journey ahead. And don’t-”
“But master-” Douxie cuts in
“But master me.” Merlin tells the other wizard, “But… are you sure you want to count on these children? They’re clearly not ready for this.”
“Excuse me?” Krel asks, “These children saved the world from an invasion last week.”
“Yeah!” Steve yells, hitting his arms back which hits the knight behind him, knocking its head off. Steve catches the head, holding it as the knight starts attacking him.
“Dude, let go of its head!” Toby yells at him.
“It’s got my head, too, man!”
“Just put it back!”
“Master, I’m ready for this.” Douxie explains.
“Doubtful.” Merlin replies.
“I’ve spent years preparing, centuries-”
“Silence!” Merlin yells, holding up at hand making Douxie stop, letting out a sigh, “I mean, silence, all of you.” turning his voice into a whisper, “Can you not hear that?”
“Is he hearing things in his old age?” Aja asks, looking over to the others who couldn’t hear it either. Quite rumbling fills the book store, the chimes on the lights above start clinking filling the store with another sound. Toby grabs his War Hammer, as the Akrirdons grab their Serrators.
“What’s with the protractors?” Douxie whispers to the twins.
A louder creaking fills the store cutting off any type of response, the lights go out the only light source left being the fire.
“Something wicked this way comes.” Merlin explains, walking around. Douxie prepares to fight whatever's coming, the two wizards walking towards the window looking out into the dark street. A shadow mephit hits the glass, thankfully that was protected by the shielding spell
“Shadow Mephits?” Merlin asks, his apprentice, “Hisirdoux, did you lead them here?”
“No, no!” Douxie denies, “I mean, I don’t think so.”
“Yes we did.” Archie cuts in, the crowd of Shadow Mephits take their chanse to get into the store, all of them falling thanks to the shielding spell.
“He found us." Merlin mutters, "The barrier won't hold for long! We must make egress! Tobias, take my things!” Merlin’s crate pushes the teen up to the roof, as the Shadow Mephits start breaking through the barrier. “All of you, to the roof!” he yells as he blasts one of them.
The four of them start making their way to the roof leaving Merlin and Douxie. “Hisirdoux, I said get to safety!” Merlin yells.
“I’ve got this.” Douxie assures, as Shadow Mephits surround them.
“Ugh-” Merlin groans, “Still trying to earn that staff, are you?”
“Yeah.” Douxie answers, “I’ve learned a thing or two since we last met.”
The two of them continually blast the Shadow Mephits as they make their way to the roof as well, Merlin grabs Douxie’s wrist messing with his magic, “Use the flux rune second, it’s stronger.”
“All right!” Douxie responds, before back tracking, “I knew that!”
Archie was on the ground still getting surrounded by Shadow Mephits, “Douxie!”
“Arch!” Douxie yelps, using a magic rope to grab the familiar, just before the Shadow Mephits pounced on him.
“I’m fine. No need to worry.” Archie explains, jumping away from Douxie the moment they reach the top of the stairs. The Shadow Mephits were taking over the lower part of the building, the teen looks towards one of the candles getting an idea.
Crossing his arm to activate his magic, the fire becomes under his control. Douxie pulls from the fire place bringing it all up to him, before sending it down on the beasts. The Shadow Mephits start rolling around to get the fire off of them, which grabs Merlin’s attention.
“Fire?” Merlin asks.
“Yeah, magic fire!” Douxie explains.
“In a bookstore?” Merlin asks, getting in his apprentice's face.
“But mephits are vulnerable to fire-” Douxie starts.
“Move it!”
The guardians of Arcadia were on the roof, dealing with the Shadow Mephits as well. Being on the roof made them much more exposed, Aaarrrgghh was dealing with the majority of them, as the other three took out the rest.
“I’m guessing these aren’t normal.” Krel starts.
“Nope!” Toby yelps, slamming his hammer into one.
“They’re worse then Skeltegs.” Aja groans, hitting one of them with her serrator.
Douxie and Merlin run up to the roof, Merlin holding the globe that Toby saw minutes before. “Stand back!” Merlin instructs as he throws the globe onto the cement, a ship growing in its place.
“Woah-” Steve mutters, “Ship just got real.”
Aaarrrgghh grabs the teens throwing them up onto the ship, “Everyone on!”
Merlin and Aaarrrgghh being the only ones left on the ground, Merlin jumps up using the crate as a support getting onto the ship and takes control of the ship. Aaarrrgghh jumps up not long after, Shadow Mephits still holding on to him.
Merlin spins the ship wildly, getting the Shadow Mephits off the roof. Unfortunately the ones holding onto the troll, wouldn’t let go. Douxie start taking them out, with the help from Aja.
"That is not a protractor.” Douxie mutters, looking at the weapon.
“Uhh- we’ll explain later.” Aja responds, rushing over to help pull Aaarrrgghh onto the ship. As the Troll finally boards, the ship shakes knocking everyone on the ship over.
Douxie grabs the edge for support glancing down to see a knight, surrounded by the beasts that were just attacking them, “Boy…” The knight begins, as Shadow Mephits start jumping into him, he hold up his sword slashing it through the air. Spikes come from it, hitting the side of the ship.
“Look out!” Merlin yells, grabbing Douxie than his staff to get them away from him. Merlin guilds the ship through the air using his staff.
“Awesome sauce!” Toby yells, they fly through the night air taking random twists and turns that make the Akiridons refuse to let go of the ledge. “This is so cool.”
“What the heck is that?” Steve asks, pointing at a formation in the distance.
“Welcome, young squires, to Camelot.” Merlin tells them, they get closer making the flying castle more visible.
“Camelot?” Toby asks, excitedly.
“What’s a Camelot?” Krel asks, getting no answers.
“As in ancient-old-people-time Camelot?” Toby asks.
“Excuse me.” Steve starts, “I have a question. How is this castle flying right now?”
The ship slows in front of the green gem, with moving gold rings around it, “The heart of Avalon.” Merlin explains, “Its magic keeps Camelot aloft, powered by time itself.” Merlin takes control of the ship again, making it speed up to its original one, “Sir Galahad, how look the skies?”
“All quiet, my old friend!” Galahad responds.
“Keep your eyes on the horizon.” Merlin explains, making the ship dive down again. Steve yelps, grabbing onto his girlfriend’s hand.
“I say, coming in a little hot, don’t you think?” Archie asks the ancient wizard
“Rubbish!” Merlin responds, the ship crashes through a green light that stops them immediately. Allowing them to land in the castle,
“Whoo-hoo.” Steve sighs, jumping down from the ship with the others.
Merlin leads the group down a hallway, allowing them to admire the building. Douxie turns around, looking at the building he practically grew up in, “It’s been 900 years since I was last here.” Douxie sighs, “Hasn’t changed a bit, well except for the flying part.”
“Nine hundred years?” Steve chuckles, “Yeah right, You’re like what? Like 19?”
“Give or take a few centuries.” Archie cuts in, jumping off Douxie's shoulder turning into a dragon.
“So, how many things can your cat turn into?” Aja asks.
“That depends.” Douxie responds, “How many things are there?”
From above Nari was watching, seeing the guests. Toby runs up near Merlin, “Uh cool flying castle ship, but what’s the grave danger you keep talking about?”
“Ah, there you are.” Merlin sighs
Toby looks up to who Merlin was talking to, seeing Claire and Blinky. “Claire?” Toby yelps, running up to her
“Toby!”
“Aarghaumont!” Blinky yells, running down with Claire.
“Blinky!”
The four of them embrace into a group hug with Aaarrrggghhh being the support in it, “Not so tight.” Claire breathes out.
“Oh, sorry” Aaarrrggghhh responds, setting them down.
“Whoa, hey, Steve’s here, too!" the teen greets, standing awkwardly to the side, "How ‘bout- how ‘bout some love for Steve?"
“Oh. Hi Steve.” Claire responds,
"That was really bad Steve," Krel assures, smacking the blonde on the back.
Claire spots the siblings once Krel began talking, staring at the two Tarrons, “Why are Aja and Krel here?” she asks.
“There’s a really good reason for that.” Toby cuts in, running over, “But for now, what happened to you guys?" he asks, looking around for his best friend not spotting him, "Wait, where’s Jim”
Claire sighs, leading the group to where Jim was, “Jim-” Toby starts looking at the green rock his best friends was in, “What happened to him?”
“We were ambushed,” Blinky starts, “Some ancient, dark warrior. An unstoppable knight clad in green… who struck down master Jim.”
“Master-” Douxie starts, looking at Merlin, “is that the same knight we saw at the bookstore?”
“One and the same.” Merlin answers, “That onyx shard is working its way towards his heart. I placed the boy in stasis, stalling its progress… for now.”
“If I had my Shadow staff I could’ve saved him.” Claire sighs, touching the stasis chamber.
“Who is this green knight?” Toby asks, “How do I get my hands on him?”
“I do not know.” Merlin answers, “The Green Knight said but one name, which chilled me to the bone.”
“Morgana.”
“Oh, I hate that lady.” Toby grumbles, “Wait, I thought we kicked her bee witch butt back to the shadow realm.”
“Which he appeared not to know but he bore the emblem of Camelot.” Merlin explains, looking up towards the flags, before walking out of the room, “Come with me, quickly. I fear the answer lies in the past. A dark menace is coming, one even I cannot face alone.”
Up with Galahead, he sees a foe making its way through the clouds towards the castle.
“You are all now soldiers in a war started centuries ago.” Merlin explains, opening something that starts projecting the past to the group “For the world of Magic. Once, the realms of Magic and Man clashed in endless bloodshed. King Arthur sought to wipe out the magic that ravaged the lands in his war against Gunmar. I brought what few spellcasters I could under my protection. To spare them from the sword..”
“Including myself, oh and Morgana Le Fay.” Douxie cuts in.
“She was the finest student I ever taught… until she tried to kill me.” Merlin finishes explaining, “Thankfully, in my all-seeing wisdom, I created a secret weapon, the trollhunter amulet. The war came to a standstill and I imprisoned Morgana at the battle of Killahead bridge.
Galahead still had his eyes on the incoming foe, watching as it became more visible. A flying skull slowly appears in the clouds. Galahead gasps, pulling a lever to disattach the platform he was standing on. The platform raises, flying towards the attackers. A ball of ice flies towards, Galahead who panics pulling a lever which starts ringing a bell that echoes throughout the air
“This green knight that assailed us.” Merlin continues, “was clearly born of dark magic but I have no memory of him, nor what connection he could have with Morgana. We know not what he is nor why he pursues us. Though, his presence is a dire omen of things to come.”
The ringing of the bell stops them all, more ice is thrown towards Camelot making the building shake, throwing them to the ground. The ice freezes over Galahead making it impossible for him to move, Camelot shakes again throwing the guardians everywhere.
“What’s happening?” Claire asks, looking around.
“Have you never been under attack before?” Aja asks, standing up from the ground reaching a hand to help her twin.
Merlin jumps up rushing out of the room, “To the battlements!”
The group rushes out, to the top of Camelot, “What the?” Steve asks, looking to the on coming threat with the others.
“Oh no.” Archie mutters, “I think we have something of a problem.”
Red lightning crackles as the giant, floating, skull-shaped fortress rises next to Camelot. The skull ship was merely meters away from them, “Oh, Fuzz buckets.” Douxie sighs.
“No… the arcane order.” Merlin responds, looking up to see Bellroc and Skreal standing on the ledge of the ship, looking down at Camelot. “They found us. Everyone get to safety now!”
Skreal sends a bolt of ice towards them “Fulgur praeca.” with the spell Merlin sends a beam of light to stop the ice. Holding it at a standstill momentarily, before crashing to the ground. “My staff!”
Said staff goes flying over the edge, “I’ve got it!” Archie yells, diving after it grabbing it before it could hit the ground. Bellroc with a red crystal staff blasts towards Archie who dives out of the way dropping the staff
“I lost it.” Archie yells, diving down again.
On the fortress, goblins cheer and yell in front of giant triple-cannons. The barrels spin around and fire at Camelot, blasting the goblins in its way. Cannons bombard Camelot, sparks fly near the wizard's faces. “Man the cannons!” Merlin shouts.
Below the castle, within the rock, knights aim cannons at the Arcane Order’s fortress. Smoke explodes from the cannons as they shoot cannonballs at the Arcane Order’s fortress. Both floating structures exchange fire. A cannon flies into one of the caves, killing the knights that were manning it. More cannon hits near Douxie and Merlin, who both held onto the walls to not fall.
“We must flee!” Merlin yells, sending the time device towards the steering wheel.
“I’m on it!” Douxie yells, He hurdles over a rail and mans the helm of the fortress struggling to pull the steering device to the side, “I’ve got— I’ve got it, I’ve got it, I’ve got it.”
The ships collide, giving the Arcane order a chance to board Camelot. A beam of ice strikes the Camelot tower, forming a bridge between the structures. “They’re boarding us! We must break free!” Merlin yells, “Steer us clear on my command!”
“I’m on it!” Douxie responds.
The teens run over to the ledge looking down at the ice bridge, “All of a sudden, flying castles aren’t so cool!” Steve complains, Aja climbed on the ledge looking down at the bridge of ice.
“What are you doing!” Claire asks.
“Do you want them to board the ship?” Aja asks, pulling out her serrator.
“No.” Claire responds.
“Then give me a mekron.” Aja responds, shooting towards the ice until it eventually breaks, “See-”
The queen in waiting was cut off by a blast of fire hitting the castle above them, “Blinky and Aaarrggghh are up there!” Claire yelps, pulling the royal down from the stone wall, “Come on!”
The fire blast knocked the trolls down, and shook the castle violently, “Master Jim!” Blinky yelps, as Jim’s stasis chamber starts rolling. Blinky grabs the end of it as it slides down a tower bridge. It breaks through the siding of the bridge and Blinky hangs off the edge.
“Blinky!” Aaarrrggghhh yelps, rushing over he smacks the other end of Jim’s encasing, launching Blinky into the air.
The troll passes the familiar in the air, “Have you found the staff?”
“Working on it!” Archie responds,
Aaarrrggghhh grabs the other end of the enchasing bringing it back up on the bridge. “Got you, Jim.”
Another fire ball gets thrown into the castle, making the ancient sorcerer duck down, “These foes’ powers are beyond us!”
“Merlin!”
Merlin whips around towards the voice seeing Nari behind him, he quickly runs over before she could leave the hallway “No! Nari!”
“This is all my fault.” Nari explains, leaning against the wall.
“I will take us to the past, but you must help me.” Merlin explains, resting a hand on the shoulder of the god.
“I will do what I can.” Nari responds, walking towards the core.
More ice blasts building bridges cover the building as goblins and Shadow Mephits board the castle, the group of them start attacking the beasts getting them off the ship.
“We’ve got to protect Jim.” Claire yelps, “I’m not losing him again!”
“Feel the wrath of the hammer!” Toby was swinging around his War Hammer as Krel and Aja continue breaking the path ways. Knocking dozens of the creatures down, Steve was attacking them too just not with a normal weapon. It was the arm of a knight’s armor.
Archie was flying around, attempting to locate wherever the staff went. “Where’s the staff? Where’s the staff?”
Archie flies over Douxie, who fends off mephits with magic blasts, “Archie, find the staff or we are all dead meat!” Douxie explains
“What do you people think I’m doing?” Archie argues.
As Claire, Steve, Krel, Aja, and Toby cross a bridge approaching Aaarrrgghh, mephits materialize from the ground. Krel uses his serrator to quickly shoot them down, getting them out of the path, “What is that?” Claire asks.
“We have more important things to deal with.” Aja responds, “We’ll explain later.”
The Staff of Avalon lies at the base of Camelot’s walls, the glint from the lights around pointing it out to the familiar. “Found it!” Archie yells diving down,
In the court room the team were all taking a chance to breathe, that was until a blast of ice hit through one of the windows. An ice beam forms in the room towards Aaarrrgghh, Blinky, and Toby. Holding Jim, Aaarrrgghh backs up as the spiked end of the ice beam stops short. Claire looks outside, looking at the battle taking place.
“Come on!” Claire yells, “We gotta help Douxie and Merlin!”
The group of teens, Claire, Steve, Toby, and the twins rush out standing around Douxie. Merlin and Douxie were both still outside, Merlin was cutting away at one of the ice bridges still, Skreal starts making his way down one of the path ways, “Surrender, Merlin.”
“Never.” Merlin responds, standing his ground. Behind him Galahad’s frozen tower rises, already having a plan in mind
“Merlin!” Galahad calls, “Get everyone to safety!”
Merlin looks up at the tower, seeing as his friend breaks free from the ice sending the tower flying towards the ice bridges. “No! Galahad!” Merlin yelps, running off the bridge, “What are you doing?!”
The two floating castles separate, both flying several meters back from the blast. Merlin was looking down at the wreckage from the top of Camelot, “Farewell, my old friend.” Merlin mutters, turning towards his apprentice, “Hisirdoux, now!”
Douxie opens the timeline device and flips up the lenses as he mans the helm, “Please don’t blow us up, please don’t blow us up.” Douxie mutters, the rest of the teens are around him in a protective stance.
“We don’t have enough power for the jump!” Archie cuts in.
“Trust in Merlin!” Douxie responds, from below them Nari sends a wave of her magic into the core jumpstarting it. The burst of power shook the ship, “Hold together, come on!”
A blast of light comes from Camelot tearing a hole in time, revealing a much older version of Camelot, “We have to steer Camelot though the time rift!” Douxie explains, as the other teens help pull the ship in the correct direction.
The flying skull floats up, The mouth of the skull carved into the bottom of the Arcane Order’s fortress opens up, revealing the Green Knight inside. The Green Knight raises his sword. On either eye of the fortress skull, the sorcerers aim their staffs down.
“It ends…” The green Knight begins, “Now!”
The Green Knight shoots a black and yellow surge of energy from his sword, and all three beams combine and fires at Camelot in a single beam. The beam strikes Camelot. In the court with Aaarrrgghh and Blinky the blast knocks Jim’s gemstone casket out of a window, making it start its way down the castle. As the entire Camelot castle begins to lean, the group of teens dangle from the battlements over the time rift. In his encasing, Jim lands above them.
“Jimbo!”
“Jim!” Claire calls.
The castle starts to shake, sending Jim’s stasis chamber down into the past, “Jim!”
“What do we do?” Krel asks the wizard.
“Trust me.” Douxie responds, grabbing Claire's arm.
“Wait! No, no, no!” Claire yelps, as the castle shakes again it sends the remaining teens down into the past. With the Staff of Avalon, Archie flies down as the group fall into the time rift. The Arcane Order creates another tri-beam with their magic and blasts the Heart of Avalon, which absorbs all the energy and then explodes. As the castle begins to fall, multiple explosions go off up the tower.
“Douxie!” Archie calls after them,
Archie nears the rift, that closes right before he could get to it, “Oh no.”
***
In a bright sky, the group of teens plummet towards the ground, Douxie spins runes on his armband and holds out his hand. “Oh, come on! Come on!” a small forefield barely was big enough to save them all, Douxie continues to slow their fall “This is gonna hurt.”
“It does hurt!” Steve yelps.
The six of them land in the woods surrounded by ancient ruins, “What just happened?” Aja asks, rolling over in the grass.
“Well, I just conjured an anti-gravity spell to slow our fall and keep us from dying.” Douxie explains, “You’re welcome.”
“That’s not what I meant.” Aja sighs, looking around, “Uh- where’s Jim?”
Looking around, a weird shadow floods Toby’s view, looking up that’s where they find Jim. “Found him.”
The sound of tree branches breaking quickly gives the six the initiative to jump and out of the way, which crashes down seconds later. The sudden force causes the chamber to start cracking.
“Douxie, where’s the flying castle?” Claire asks.
“Oh Fuzz buckets.” Douxie sighs, looking around, “Well it would appear we’ve had ourselves a temporal accident.”
“Which means?” Claire asks.
“Advice!” A sword pointed towards the teen quickly makes him stop talking, dozen of knights surround them weapons held high “Got them.”
“It means… we are lost in time.” Douxie explains
“What manner of sorcery is this?”
