Chapter 1.2
"Prepared? You're joking right? I'm always ready." Zaldar retorted immediatly as the one known as Seth finished. "I'm no weakling, on the contrary, I actually am a very powerful being, but that is for me to know, and you to find out, or not." A smirk enveloped on the young teens face as he shot his attention away from Seth, and toward the small ship. It was nothing like you had ever seen, since it wasn't shaped like any human-made vehicle, since it was obviously much more advanced. "A black bird? Why such a small ship?" He spoke once again, eyeing the black thrusters on the back. It was shaped like a cylinder, and at the front, it jagged into a point. On both the sides, two wings flung out, so in turn, it looked kind of like a pure black jet, with no weapons whatsoever, as well as rocket thrusters which lifted it up, quicker than any other aircraft. It was ment only for short travel between planets, but all in all, it was ok.
"You have a problem with my ship? Must you critisize the beauty of it? Besides, this baby costed me a fortune." Seth spoke in a strange murmer, as if his mind was occupied by something else, something more important. There was talk that on Ecimar, demons of great power lurked there, so if he would have to protect both Zaldar and Aoreka, there would be a big problem. His power was great, even if he had yet to show it, but demons were something else, full of trickary and were always plotting. "It's boring just standing here, would you like to enter my ship? I would really like to get moving so we can get to your destination faster." This time he spoke innocently, trying to speed everything up.
"You're afriad." Aoreka spoke quietly, and walked to the ship, entering it and looking back. "Are you two coming or what?"
Zaldar shivered as he looked into her eyes, thinking of how freaky the death glare was. At this point, she was probably aggrivated, simply because Seth was wanting to speed things up, and since Zaldar got them lost a while back, and into a very small fight, which ended with an elemental knife, thrown by her. Zaldar, not wanting to make her more angry, hurried to the ship, looking towards Seth, and motioning him to follow. Seth, on the other hand, walked casually, thinking to himself about the world, and how the three of them would or could survive. Magic was something they all possessed, but all in different fashions, each more powerful than the next, since no two people have the same exact poweress.
It wasn't mere moments before all of them were in the ship, looking at the various buttons, to make the ship do almost endless, pointless, things. Zaldar stared at the ship, and obviously was eager to touch what he could, but rather than pressing anything, he walked to the back off the ship, and in an instant, passed out on the couch that was there. Seth and Aoreka stared dully as the teen passed out and each shook their heads. Perhaps it was just in his clueless being, but who knows what it truly is.
"Let's go, I want you two to finish whatever you need to quckly, since I want to get out of that dreaded demonic sector." Ending his chatter, Seth sat in a seat at the cockpit of the ship, and by flipping two switches, the thrusters went on, and the ship roared with impatience. Hitting two other buttons, and pulling one lever back, the ship lifted into the air, and in seconds, it was in space. The speed of it was a lightyear each minute, so basically, it was a pretty fast ship, of moderate speeds, but in no way could outrun half of the other ships created in this galaxy. "Aoreka, make sure your friends doesn't fall off that couch, he'll probably slam into the wall and become unconcious, and I don't want to be here much longer." Seth spoke once again, and turned his attention to the ship, steering to the planet known as Ecimar, and they would be there in short time.
Aoreka slowly walked toward Zaldar, and sat on the couch, in front of his stomache, so he wouldn't move at all. "Can this thing go any faster? You said it costed a lot, so show your moneys worth." She spoke once again in an impatiently as she stared at the space moving around the ship, in a certain pattern, where it seemed to keep an endless hold on the stars. "You're the one who wanted to hurry, so kick this piece of trash into gear." Aoreka opened her palm up, and watched as she manipulated a fire ball with her hand, and closed her hand into a fist, watching it disperse. Elemental manipulation was all she could do, but as time progressed, she would become an even greater warrior.
"I'm keeping it on course, don't rush me." Seth spoke, bored this time, due to the constant complaining of the young girl. She looked to be only fourteen, but in fact, she could have been either younger or older, due to the way her attitude effected her. "Besides, you're buddy is asleep, and by the time we finally arrive, he'll probably wake up, so have some patience, please." Keeping his eyes on the space in front of him, he lifted the ship up, dodging an incoming asteroid, since they were common in this area of the galaxy. Asteroids were nothing compared to other weapons that were used, which consisted mostly of different powers of different beings.
The ship was obviously fine, but there was uncertainty, since in this one sector, space pirates were too common. Raiding ships, destroying others, it was all part of their amusement, and in the end, they got to build a name up for themselves. Bounty hunters went after these space pirates on many occassions, and they made money easily, in whatever the currency of the planet was, which mostly consisted of gold, since it was the easiest thing to find. It was common on every planet within the various galaxies and universes. Gold was the most common currency, but there was many others, all much more rare, such as Xarlies, Phyrilykes, and Menthonium. Those were worth more than a billion bars of gold alone, and they weren't even the rarest of all items. Pirates alone steal these certain items to gain wealth, fame, and the name of some who is 'strong' and 'powerful.'
Seth smirked as he saw the planet in the clearing, and was full of excitement as he neared towards it, perhaps only a mere ten lightyears away, but the path to safety was far from close. Peering even closer to the surface, he noticed one thing, and immediatly increased the pace of the ship to its maximum speed. "Dammit. There's an armada of space pirates around the planet, something big must be going on. You guys get ready, cause we're going in now." With that said, Seth flipped two more switches up, and the ships speed increased once more, nearing the planet within every given second, as well as nearing the pirates.
