Chapter IX: Touch Luck - Aurora

"..And I shall come with you," a certain familiar, feminine voice mildly echoed over Lich, Drakonis, and Yoshidude. Yoshidude and Lich looked around, searching for the speaker. Drakonis looked at the two, but before he could say anything, a soft, rose petal of blue gently wafted onto his nose. He took it off and scrutinized it.
"I know who it is..." Drakonis said with such a tone it seemed as if he didn't care or have much interest anymore. At that, an astonishing performance was displayed before their eyes. More of the blue petals appeared from no place in particular, and circled a small area. In the center of the swirling, slow wave of blue and 'perfume', a purple orb developed, which quickly formed into a violet yoshi with large, white, angel wings. Her tall, slender body glowed mysteriously with a violet aura as the angel wings vanished with a burst of sparkling energies. She landed on the ground lightly, bowing to the others in respect as grace filled her actions.
"Greetings..." the owner of the previous voice spoke. Lich shook his head out of his rapt stare of the entrance and smiled.
"Aurora...Hey," he said, as Drakonis stepped forward and grinned as if he were saying, "Knew it".
Aurora had long, ice blue hair. She'd look innocent if it weren't for her cold, ice blue eyes.
"Hi," Yoshidude said.
"Hello Aurora," Drakonis greeted.
Aurora looks over at Lich, who had already returned to his seat at the wooden table.
"I apologize Lich... but I had overheard your conversation."
"I noticed," Lich replied.
"Finally some action..." Aurora paused for two seconds, then resumed talking. "Well, you heard me earlier. I'd like to assist you." Lich was about to say something, but Aurora continued, "It was unexpectable that The Markior was defeated. I ran into Klongo back there. He told me most of it."
Yoshidude looked at the ground, "He was my my mentor..."
Drakonis growled at Yoshidude, "Was?! Don't say such things! We need to get a move on!! GrrAHH! We're wasting too much time! What if they're torturing him right now?!!"
Lich opened his mouth to say something, but Yoshidude beat him at the chance. "I guess Drakonis is right. This 'Havering' guy won't beat us if we keep together and fight him together!"
"OKAAYYYY!!!" Lich finally spoke up, slightly frustrated. "Let's go! Dinokan!"

"Wait.. the bridge is down, remember?" Lich reminded the others before their departure.Yoshidude smiled. He thought back of the days he had had with the Markior, learning protoss techniques and such.
"Recall!!" He cried as he casts recall, teleporting everyone to the outside. Drakonis and Aurora had their own ways of getting out, but instead, they just went with the move Yoshidude made.
"Impressive," Aurora said. Yoshidude turned to Aurora. "Hehe! Yep! As a student, learned it from Markior!"
"Now let's go. We've wasted too much time already." Aurora remarked with a glance at the darkening sky. The wind blew her hair to the side then it fell back over her shoulders.
"Dinokan.. Isn't that strange?" Lich said as they were walking. Their surroundings were filled with trees, indicating that they were walking through a forest.
"Yeah… You'll never know if that 'Havering' person just asked you to come so he could drown you." Yoshidude said, looking at the ground, watching his feet move across the ground, barely sweeping the dirt.
Drakonis chose to fly over the trees, overlooking the land.
The quad traveled far. Tired of the walking, Yoshidude looked at the now black, starry sky.
"We need a rest." He said.
Drakonis flew down, landing on both feet, stretching his large, dragon-like wings. They had a wing span of about 6 feet.
"Alright. Let's rest, but not for long" He said.
The four sat down under the dark blanket of glitter. For about 20 minutes, Lich and Yoshidude were already sleeping. Aurora and Drakonis stayed awake and talked for a while, but then both drifted into sleep along with Lich and Yoshidude. It was silent from them, if it weren't for Yoshidude's snoring. The sounds of the night creatures placidly filled the forest.

"Aurora?" Lich called out with his hands cupped around his mouth. The message repeat itself in echoes through the forest. It was daylight. The sun shone through the holes in the leaves of the trees above them.
"Aurorraaa?" Yoshidude followed. The same echoing was made.
"Where are you?!" Drakonis looked about. Aurora was missing.
"We've been looking for her for a long time now. I give up. Let's just continue" Drakonis said, turning to the others.
"No! She's around here somewhere! Maybe she went to find some water or something!" Yoshidude said.
"Aurora would at least TELL us first, YD" Drakonis replied.
"AURORA!! WHERE DID YOU GO?!! WE SAID WE WOULD KEEP TOGETHER!!!!!!!" Lich again called out impatiently as 'keep together' rang in echoes in the sky.
"AURORA THIS ISN'T FUNNY! GET OVER HERE DANGIT!!" Yoshidude yelled.
"Shit. Aurora doesn't play silly games like this," Drakonis said, "You know. She's prominent."
The three turned and looked at eachother.

"Where am I?", Aurora thought to herself. "I don't.. recognize this place.."
Aurora is sitting on a large boulder on a lake. Gentle waves lapped at the rocks and water lilies decorated the shallows of the lake. In her hair a red rose was in, capturing the exquisite look of the usual Aurora.
"How strange…" The strong wind blew her hair and the 'train' of her outfit in the direction it was traveling in and quickly let go of its pull.
"Ahhh.. Princess Aurora!" a voice resounded around her, though nothing was in sight. She looked around the calm waters then stood on the rock.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked. "How.. did I get here?"
"I simply WANTED you to be here, Aurora, so here you are! Heh, heh… I am Sir Pseudo Havering! Welcome… to my world."
"So you're the notorious Havering," Aurora said.
"Heh..heh..heh…." Havering's voice continued to resound."I can control anyone here. I say what goes, and it happens."
"Ha… like I'm going to listen to YOU." Aurora said, a bit carelessly and stubbornly.
"You need to be taught a lesson" Havering retorted with a quick, vitriolic snap. "I brought you into this rendezvous. I can just kill you if I wanted."
"Hmph.. What do you plan on doing?" She asked.
"That's for me to know.. and for you to find out. Isn't it nice? You don't know what you're going to do… But I do."
Aurora ignored the statement, but then thought of Markior and spoke, "Where is the Markior?"
"Ah, Princess.. it wouldn't be fun if I just told you, now would it be? You'll find him, don't worry."
"Grr.. When I find him, we'll destroy you and escape this horrendous gomorrha!"
"Don't you wish you could?" Havering chuckled. "Your power is not even NEAR mine! My power is far greater than yours, and I was able to defeat the Markior and Zeratul!!"
"Whatever you're planning, it's improbable…"
"You think you're so cunning… Hmn… well, I'll see you later, I guess. Ta ta for now!"
"Coward! COWARD show yourself! Get back here!" Aurora yelled, but there was no reply.
Aurora looked at the rock beneath her and looked at the water. She then turned toward the land and teleported herself there with a swirl of blue rose petals. As she examined the area she caught sight of someone familiar.
"What the..?" Aurora took a closer look. "…Markior?"
She ran toward the image, questioning the appearance. She stopped in her steps. "It must be trickery…" She thought to herself, but it was too late. The Markior look-alike turned into something somewhat like a black hole and sucked her through. Aurora was gone.

"Damn!" Aurora was falling down, apparently nowhere, but as she saw the ground she placed a hand on the ground and flipped herself up for a safe landing. The area was dark, but there were two glows that broke the darkness and worked as a light. Aurora turned to see what or who it was.
"By Adun!! Aurora?!!" It was The Markior and Ulrezaj. Ulrezaj didn't say anything, but he looked at the familiar yoshette with glowing eyes.
"Markior!" Aurora squeaked in excitement. She looked at Ulrezaj. Her eyes narrowed at him.
"Ulrezaj…" She said bitterly. Her hands began to glow with energy, as if she were mad enough to hurt him.
"I never got my revenge!" she started, "and now I find you here with the Markior?! What were you going to do, swine?" Ulrezaj just stood there and blinked. Aurora was about to unleash her beam but Markior stopped her.
"AURORA WAIT! Let me explain…"
