Avalon through the Roof

If you guys haven't heard about Avalon yet, that's like saying I've never heard of Celestia, despite me being level 70. Go check it out. Link to Combat music below:

Anyway, with Avalon being MUCH harder than Zafaria, I've been working on an Uber pet, or a really good pet that specifically bnenefits the Ice School. I'm thinking of trying to get my hands on an Aqua Dragon. If any of you know someone who has an Aqua Dragon, plz, don't hesitate to contact me at AquaGuy12@gmail.com, I will not neccisarily respond right away, but if you send me an email with the name of someone who has an Aqua Dragon, plz try to set up a meeting place and time with them so I can hatch my Wendigo with them. I really want an Aqua Dragon with Spritely and Spell Proof.

Anyway, Avalon draws its origins from Artorian and Celtic legends. Morganthe has reclaimed her Deck of Shadows, and is now on a quest to trick the king of Avalon, while the Character is on a quest to reclaim the mystical artifact called The Sword of Kings, the only thing that can stand up ot Morganthe's Deck of Shadows. When the character reaches the king, it is too late and Morganthe has tricked him into putting a fern crown instead of a gold one on his head, turning him into a Pendragon, which cheats in combat. But Avalon, if the rumors hold true, comes from test today, I can't wait.

Chapter 3:Star Swept Seas

Chapter 3


          Patrick, Stephen, Fallon M, and Nicholas, walked farther into the dome until they reached the Promenade, an area with huge temples lost under the ocean.
          “Oh my, this is quite impressive,” said Nicholas, awestruck. The group continued to walk until they saw a group of crabs leading some Marleybonians up a ramp to one of the sunken temples. “Follow them,” Fallon ordered.
          They walked quietly up the ramp until they came to a huge hole in the top of the ramp, big enough for a crab to fit through. “In there,” Stephen ordered.
          Stephen’s hunch was right and the group of wizards saw another crab general guarding the group of researchers. “I am Optio Agenor,” said the crab, “I’ve worked too hard and too long to get here and you won’t be winning the researchers back anytime soon.”
          Stephen pointed his sword at the crab general as his eye’s flashed briefly black and black electricity arced down his sword. “Beguile, Optio Agenor!” he shouted. A steady stream of hearts flew out of his wand and surrounded Optio Agenor. The crab general gasped. “Must…help…Stephen,” Agenor said. Agenor plunged his own spear into his own armor, making himself vulnerable and making the fight shorter. “That should do it,” Fallon cried, “Give me a chance if you wouldn’t mind.
          Fallon’s eyes flashed briefly green as green bolts of electricity arced down her wand, collecting into a green ball of mana at the end. At the same time, her Earth Walker pet, Nigel, was stomping at her side. “Earth Walker, Optio Agenor!” Fallon cried. Agenor screamed in pain as the giant green colossus charged and hit him full force with its sword, taking him out of the fight.
          “Thank you for freeing us,” said one of the Marleybonian researchers. “Yes thank you. We didn’t know what those crustaceans would do to us if you hadn’t saved us from them,” said another. “Well, Sir Dalton Prescott will be waiting for us,” said one, “We’d best be headed back.” “Ok see ya later,” said Patrick.

          Captain Fogg walked through the newly constructed underwater base camp, where he soon got the feeling he was being watched. It’s probably just a fish, nothing more, thought the captain. But when Capt. Fogg looked out the glass of the dome, he saw a rather large, purple snake looking at him. “GIMINY CHRISTMAS!!! SNAKE! SNAKE!” the Captain shouted.
          After a comforting hand telling him that there was no monster in the ocean, Fogg sought something to eat. After surveying the dome, he saw one of the golems, who had mysteriously acquired a Spanish accent, had made a burrito stand and was selling burritos. “Burritos! Get your burritos here! Fresh and hot! Burritos!” Fogg approached the stand. “Yes, I would like 40 burritos please.” The golem looked at his arsenal of burritos. “I’m going to need a bigger burrito stand,” he told the captain.
          After about 4 hours of waiting (and being dreadfully hungry), the captain finally got his burritos. He wandered through the Celestia Base Camp, eating and enjoying his burritos. He was wandering through the base camp when he saw a group of wizards emerge from the passage to the Survey Camp. “Hey!” Captain Fogg shouted, “Who are you?” “We were sent here by Merle Ambrose to help with the expedition,” shouted Justin. “Oh well have you got the portal stones?” asked Captain Fogg. “The what?” asked Patrick. “The portal stones that are required to open the portals to the Lunarium, Solarium, and Stellarium,” Edith said, walking up to the group and snapping Captain Fogg a quick salute. “Well we managed to get one for the Stellarium from Eel Cave in the Grotto,” said Stephen, still not quite understanding what was happening. “Well come over here and give it to Avery, I’m sure he will be able to see if it is a true portal stone,” Edith said.
          The group was soon wandering the grounds of the District of Stars. “Wow,” said Wolf, awestruck. “I feel very weird,” said Patrick, falling to one knee. That was when the voice spoke in Patrick’s head. You are the one that has chosen to follow the path of stars. Therefore, it is you alone that can accomplish this task. I am in the Stellarium. Come and take the Star of Celestia and take it to the Astrolabe in the Base Camp the Marleybonians have established. I will await you and your friend’s arrival. Patrick also suddenly knew how to get into the Stellarium. “Follow me,” he told the others as he hotfooted away.
          The group of friends soon came to a machine with a red button on the top. “What is this thing for, Patrick?” asked Fallon M. “This is what will grant us access to the Stellarium,” explained Patrick. He walked up to the machine. “I need to have 9 tickets to the Stellarium,” Patrick told the machine. “I can’t go in,” said Nick, “Something inside me is telling me that I shouldn’t step foot into the place.” “Ok then, make it 8 tickets,” Patrick said. The Archivist, as the machine called itself, spit out 8 reusable tokens engraved with a star on them. “Let’s go,” Patrick said.

Chapter 2:Star Swept Seas

Chapter 2


“AIEHHHHHH!!” shouted Captain Fogg “What’s with all the colossi?!” “The guide book calls them ‘Rubble Rousers’ and they are drawn to destruction,” said one of the crew who, like Fogg, had wandered back to the smoldering airship to see what could be salvaged.
          “Well,” said Fogg, exasperated, “GET RID OF THEM!!!” he shouted. “Aye-aye Cap’n,” said the crew. For 15 minutes, the crew ran around in an attempt to herd the colossi and shoo them off. They had no such luck. “Ugh,” said Captain Fogg, “Let me try.”
          Fogg pulled the sword out of the sheath on his hip. Black bolts of electricity arced down his sword as the captain’s eyes flashed briefly black. A black ball of mana flew near the herd of colossi that crew had made. The ball opened a hole in the ground and instantaneously, black spiders poured out of the hole, swarming the Rubble Rousers and causing the crew to run back toward Capt. Fogg. “That should do it,” said Fogg.
          But as soon as he spoke, more colossi poured out of the surrounding jungle, heading right for Capt. Fogg and the crew. “AHHHHHHHHH!!” shouted Fogg “EVASIVE MANUVERS!!” The crew scattered in an attempt to evade the colossi that were now pouring out of the jungle. “HEAD FOR THE WATER MOLE VILLAGE!!” someone from the crew shouted.
          The group of Marlybonians ran through the jungle toward the water mole village. They soon came across the village where some Water moles were running around. They also saw some of the crew members there, hauling boxes full of supplies toward a nearby beach. “Ah, there you are, Captain Fogg,” said Scientist Pierce Stanson, snapping a quick solute in Capt. Fogg’s direction. “Where’s Capt. Plunkett?” asked Fogg. “I couldn’t tell you where he is,” said Pierce, “about halfway to the village, he disappeared. Edith is down at the beach, building an underwater elevator to the primary dome where the Spiral door is.”
           The Spiral Door opened and the group of wizards found themselves in a lush, vibrant and colorful underwater realm. “Wow,” said Justin Shadowblade, Grandmaster Conjurer, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.” “It is pretty amazing,” replied Fallon Deathslinger, Grandmaster Diviner, or Storm Wizard.
          The group of wizards didn’t get far into the primary dome when they heard the whirring sound of an underwater elevator. “What’s that sound?” asked Nicholas Lionrider, Grandmaster Pyromancer. “Sounds like the Marleybonian researchers are coming down,” replied Stephen.
          Sure enough, Edith Benchley, head engineer of the expedition to Celestia, was ordering people around. “You there, don’t let that nail drop in the sand or it will be lost forever. And, hey, what are you doing over there with that shove-” Edith stopped short in her sentence. The researcher with the shovel had unearthed 3, not 1, not 2, but 3, spell trainers out from under the ocean floor. “Jiminy Christmas!” shouted Edith, “Are those what I think they are?” “I believe so,” said Patrick, stepping forward. “Oh! Are you from Wizard City or any other world?” asked Edith. “Yes! Halston Balestrom from Ravenwood School of Magical Arts got Sir Thurston Plunkett’s distress call and sent us after we got the Spiral Key to Celestia,” Stephen explained. “Well good. Sir Thurston Plunkett, the expedition’s leader, mysteriously disappeared when we were on ‘The Floating Land’ if memory serves,” Edith explained. “Wait, the what land?” Leesha asked. “Oh never mind, it doesn’t matter. Follow me; I think you might want to investigate these strange things over here that my colleague has dug up.
          The group waddled over to the spell trainers that he Marleybonian researcher had dug up. “According to the guide book that our Second-in-Command, Captain Fogg, keeps, the Celestians created and practiced three kinds of magic called Star, Sun, and Moon,” Edith explained, “So you might be able to train magic from the spell trainers you see here.”
Patrick approached the Astral School trainer directly to the left of the ramp leading to the barrels. As he approached, the rods of metal lying on top of the barrel began to swirl around the top of it and form the shape of a Star. Patrick very gently touched the metal star hovering over the barrel and his eyes and mind glowed a slight pinkish color. When images started to flood into his mind, he couldn’t pull his hand away. The images taught him about the Magic of Stars and how to use it to his advantage. When he was done, the images stopped and he backed away from the spell trainer.  “Patrick!” exclaimed Fallon, “Are you ok?” “Fine,” he replied. “Edith, is there anything we can do to help you regain your footing here in Celestia?” Wolf asked. “Why yes,” she said, handing Nick, who had just finished with the Moon School Trainer, a sheet of paper. “Could you go to the Survey Camp and talk to Dalton Prescott and try to find our expedition leader, Sir Thurston Plunkett?” Edith asked. “Sure,” said Nick, looking rather pleased with himself, “We will do what we can.”
As the group of wizards headed for the tunnel to the survey camp, Edith called out “ALSO! WATCH OUT FOR MORGANTHE AND HER SERVANTS!” “Oh great,” said Justin, “I do so enjoy sharing world with Morganthe.” “We really don’t have a choice if we expect to save the spiral again,” replied Fallon.
When our heroes arrived on the scene at the Survey Camp, things were in chaos. Crustaceans were menacing the Marleybonian researchers in the camp. “Ugh,” said Stephen, “Edith didn’t say anything about crabs.” “These guys are defiantly too big to be in my next sushi roll,” commented Leesha.
The wizards ran around and battled the crabs in an attempt to get them away from the crew, and after many failed attempts, they were finally able to chase the crustaceans away. “Phew,” said Dalton Prescott, walking up to the group of wizards “That was intense.” “Yes, it was. Edith Benchley sent us here to see if we could help,” replied Fallon D. “Well of course you can help. We are missing some of the crew members. Do you think you could find them and bring them back here so we can continue our research?” Dalton asked. “Sure,” said Fallon M. “Also, we need to recover our bottles of sealant from the crustacean warriors that just ran through here or this dome will lose air pressure and eventually we won’t be able to breathe or the dome itself will collapse, whichever comes first,” Dalton said. “Ok let’s split up then,” said Patrick, “Fallon M, Stephen, and Nicholas, come with me and we’ll see if we can find the crew, the rest of you, see if you can recover the bottles of sealant that Prescott needs,” said Patrick in an authoritative, yet soft tone. The other wizards knew that when Patrick used that tone, what he said was either done or he was not going to be happy when it was all over with.
