Uma, Victoria, Goddess, Draygon, Silver And The Four Keys Of The World Adventure On!

The day was sunny and warm, the group was having a walk in the MoonMagic Palace gardens. Goddess led the group with Serena – the Queen Of The World. Along for the walk was the Queens protector Victoria and Goddesses friend Uma. “You do seems a lot better than what you were, I am so happy,” Serena said to Goddess. Serena was wearing informal wear consisting of a lovely flowery dress, a pair of comfortable but worn shoes and a pink hat that made her look like a cowboy. “I feel alive again like I had been in some kind of dream land all this time, although It took some difficult to handle events to wake me up,” Goddess replied, who was wearing red lace underwear underneath her purple silky dress which matched her long purple hair. “You were very ill for years, that’s why I hired Uma to look after you, I was very worried,” Serena replied. “What’s her name?” Goddess asked. “What’s my name? what’s my name?” Uma sang who was walking behind them which sent Serena and Goddess into fits of laughter. Uma who was wearing leather armour and was carrying a two handed sword sang the words again before Victoria shouted, Uma, Uma, Uma,” she laughed as they all turned around to her. Victoria was often quiet and wore her chain-mail armour, carried a longsword in her left hand and held a medium sized metal round-shield in her right. Victoria had decided against wearing a helmet today and her long black wavy hair dangled delightfully over her armoured shoulders. “You okay Victoria?” Goddess asked as she smiled. “Delightful,” was her reply. “Could you say it louder?” Uma asked while laughing which sent all four girls off laughing.

“Right Lad, were just going to do a patrol of the area just to see if we see anything, okay?” Draygon said as he walked with young Silver. The two together looked so much like father and son. “I didn’t see any more weird lights,” said Silver. “Neither did I but its worth having a look around just in-case isn’t it, besides it gives us a little bit of time together away from the playhouse,” Draygon said. The two carried on walking on up and over the gentle rolling hills towards the Ugly Goo Swamp. The weather was calm and the sun was out. The hills were sparse with only a few trees and bushes scattered around but they were high enough to give a good view of the swampland which nobody ever visited. Often Draygon would take himself off for the same walk they were doing now just for some alone time and exercise. “Lad its good to have some company, even if its you,” he laughed, more of a chuckle than a laugh. “Oh thanks grandad,” Silver cheekily replied.

The four keys, Paul1576, Dream Maker, Angelina and Destiny all were preparing to leave the base and head out above ground. Together they had explored their base but still had no idea where they were. “What if we are under Angel lake, we could be flooded, or what if we are under that Volcano?” Asked Paul1576. “Oh come on really?” Dream Maker replied. “We really have no idea though,” said Paul1576. “I am sure that machine robot thing would not have gone to all this trouble creating us this base just to have it wrecked,” Angelina said. “I suppose you are right miss Angel but…” Paul1576 said as he stopped talking as his and Angelina’s eyes locked for a moment, making the moment a little awkward. “Hey guys we have things to decide, what if we just had a test trip first and checked out the area outside to see where we think we are and then we could do with a plan about what we are going to do first,” Dream Maker asked. “A very wise plan,” Destiny said. “Sounds good,” said Paul1576.

The MoonMagic Palace gardens were surrounded by a huge wall made of stone which was white and blue. The garden had a path that crossed over in various places with several walls, benches and plants and fountains in-between. There were several large trees that overhung the garden, some as old as time. “Hello Dan, nice job you have done for me, thank you,” Serena said to the gardener that was seeing to some of the roses. “A pleasure my Queen,” was his reply. “Dan’s the man, my queen,” Goddess said smiling. “Call me my Queen again and ill get Uma to chop your head off!” Serena said jokingly. “What was that about chopping heads?” asked Uma. “You wouldn’t mind chopping Goddesses head off would you?” asked Serena. “What?” was Uma’s reply.

“Can you see all that green stuff over there?” asked Draygon as he pointed with his right hand. Silver looked towards the direction he was pointing, “Yes, its the swamp,” Silver replied. “Well sometimes weird goo creatures swim in it, I have seen them before,” Silver laughed, “I am not like child, as if there are monsters in it,” Silver replied. “No really Silver, I have seen them but I decided to stay away from them, I have heard stories about people who have gone to the swamp and never returned and I really do not want to be one of them,” Draygon said. Silver looked a little scared, “what did they look like?” he asked. “Well, I saw a few green round blobs with tiny hands and feat and red eyes, they looked like evil eyes,” he replied. “How close was you, did they see you,” Silver asked. “I was perhaps around twenty meters away and as soon as I saw them I headed back and away from them, I was looking back all the time, I don’t know if they saw me but it scared he life out of me,” Draygon remembered the moment as if it was yesterday. “Could they have been friendly?” Silver asked. “With eyes like that, I very much doubt it,” he replied. The two walked on heading closer to the swamp. “Do you think those lights were around the swamp?” asked Draygon. “I think so, what if the lights were something to do with those monsters?” replied Silver. “I doubt it because I saw those monsters and there were no lights at the time,” Draygon stood still and thought for a moment. “I suppose they could be linked, either they could be calling the lights or the lights could be the blobs falling from the sky or something,” he said. “Maybe, how close can we go, I don’t want to get eaten,” Silver said. “Draygon laughed, your not going to get eaten, a bit further yet and then we will head towards that old castle.”

“Should we wear our armour and that?” asked Paul1576. “I think we should just in case we encounter any danger.” Dream Maker replied. The four headed off towards their own rooms. Paul1576 later emerged in some leather armour and a two handed sword while Dream Maker come out in some metallic red armour and was holding her sword The Maker Of Dreams, who was still not talking. Angelina came out with silver wing attachments, white leather armour and was carrying two long daggers. Destiny came out with a black laced top with a dark blue cloak and was carrying a staff with a skull on the top of it. As soon as Destiny came out of her room the others just stared. “Looking good,” Angelina said, Destiny smiled. “I never asked but I am guessing you are some kind of wizard?” asked Paul1576. “I never really put a label on myself but yes I am skilled in magic, alchemy and healing as well as many other things,” Destiny replied quietly. Dream Maker looked on and appeared almost afraid of her. “That will all come in very useful for us Destiny,” Paul1576 said as he smiled at her. “Right lets get going, follow me,” Dream Maker said with the others all looking as if to say “Who put her in charge?” Heading down a sloped corridor with solid metal walls either side the four keys to the dream world walked. The man of wonder – Paul1576, The angelic Angel – Angelina, The dark witch of wonder – Destiny and the dream making warrior of steel – Dream Maker.

The three ladies who were almost like royalty walked with The Queen Of The World Serena around the garden enjoying each others company. Suddenly right in-front of them a dark hole appeared followed by a dark, deep growl and a creature spawned out of the hole. The ladies stepped back fast as a fully black swirling mass with arms, legs and horns stared them fully in the face. “Get away now girls!” shouted Uma who had previously already fought a similar creature once before. The girls moved back the way they came with Victoria protecting Serena closely. Uma stared at the creature concentrating, suddenly a lashing black whipping snake like thing attacked her and she stepped out of the way before striking her sword fast and just clipping it sending a slice of black to drop on the floor. “What on earth is that?” asked Serena. “Some kind of ugly thing, I don’t know,” replied Victoria. Looking on they watched Uma duck and dive trying to find a way through to a cleaner slice on the creature. “Permission to help Uma?” Goddess asked as she looked at Serena. “Permission granted,” Serena said as Goddess was already on her way forward anyway. Uma moved back as the black fluid filled creature moved towards Uma. “To the side Uma!” Goddess shouted as she unleashed a fireball just as Uma moved. “I just knew she was hot stuff,” Serena said to Victoria as they watched on. The on-fire creature sent a ball of black goo at Uma which carried on towards Serena who stepped out of the way with ease. Uma rolled forward and sliced up and across its head sending its head rolling further down the garden path. The creatures body tried to leap at Uma but she was too fast and controlled for it. Goddess sent more fireballs into the creatures body as Uma went to finish off the head of the creature with a strong swipe down. Sizzling to death the body splattered on the ground as its head lay still oozing black fluid. “Watch out!” Uma shouted as another creature appeared behind Serena. Victoria noticed the creature and held onto Serena and physically moved her away from the creature who lashed out with black viper like trails. Victoria spun around and swung her sword at the creature, slicing a tiny piece of black from its body.

Goddess and Uma came running over as Victoria blocked some of the black goo with her shield before diving to the right as Goddess sent more fireballs. The creature moved forward and made a leap towards Uma who sidestepped and swiped across hard and fast once more slicing the head off before moving out of the way. Victoria stabbed at the head several times and black fluid flooded the ground. The creatures body tried an attempt at reaching Goddess who had gone near to the creature. Goddess pushed both her hands out and send a fan of flames directly at the creature who sizzled and stopped moving. The smell in the air was of a meaty oily one, the group looked around for any more of the creatures before sitting and resting on one of the benches nearby.

“What are they, where did they come from?” Serena asked who was sounding shaken. “About six months ago I fought one when you disappeared Goddess but I really have no idea about them. I thought maybe it was that witch women from those other towers,” “Could someone be summoning them?” asked Victoria. “Its possible but why would anyone attack us, they were clearly not going to beat us just with those two creatures alone out here.” Uma replied. “We should check inside palace,” Serena said. “Yes, come on, lets go.” Uma said as she stood up.
