Chapter Two: The Ride to Flarapia

As Anooin Gets up from his relaxing three hour nap, he goes to the Botanical Garden to meet Nagol.

"Alright, he should be here any time now." "it is- 2:40 AM and I told him to be here at 2:43, precisely. And in that time, I'm going to set up cameras hidden in the trees, bushes and flowers, to record what he does, and what is said. And hey, I might need it for later on."

He sets up the cameras and just as he finishes the last camera, he hears the Botanical Garden doors shut.

"Nagol? is that you?" Anooin whispered quietly.

"Yes! Where are you?"

"I'm in the very back. come here then we can talk."

Nagol Arrives

"Finally! And Perfect on time." "and at this exact hour we are halfway into our flight."

"Oh, Well that's cool. Well, what did you need me for? And why so late?"

"Well, you said that you were 'Super-Human' and i wanted to see it." "I can prove to you that I am as well. I was trying to play it off as I didn't know what you were talking about, but I do, I very much do."

"Finally! You've come to your true senses!" "Now, do you know how to use your power yet?"

"Quite frankly, no, not really." "My Father has the ability to control fire but I have never known how to access that or use it."

"Well, I know how. your father uses something called a(n) Orb, These control all different types of power in the universe and if treated wrongly, can cause the universe to collapse."

"Oh."

"Yes, And I have one from our mother. I have the Water Orb." "And although they aren't shaped like orbs, they all have their own consciousness, they will choose you, and if they don't, they will eventually find someone who will suit them best, but when they find that person, the person, or people, that tried to obtain its power all die."

"That is Interesting. So how do I obtain my 'Orb'?"

"Do you not have one already?"

"Not yet?" "My father said that I would get the 'Fire Orb' when I become King?"

"I thought that your father was dead?"

"Not yet."

"Oh, Well, that's upsetting." Said Nagol

"How is that upsetting?"

"You cant get the Orb until your parent who holds it dies."

"Wait, So when I become King, and he gives me the Orb, that will kill him?"

"Pretty much. Yeah."

"Oh,"

"Yep."

"So Is that all you needed me for?" asked Nagol.

"Can I ask one more question?"

"Sure I guess."

"Can you show me that you have the ability to water-bend?"

"How?"

"Sprinkle those flowers over there."

"Okay."

He then proceeds to sprinkle the flowers with pure water, shocking Anooin.

"It is real!"

"Did you think that it wasn't?"

"Kinda Sorta."

"Well, Now you know it is!"

After that, Nagol leaves, while Anooin stays, so he can pick up his cameras, then left.

Nagol And Anooin continue to have conversations like this, until one day, about a year and a half later, when coming into Flarapia's Sphere of Influence (SOI)

this happens:

"Hold on, I'm geeting a call."

"Hello?"

"I need to speak to Mr. Anooin Flares, immediately."

"Well, your talking to him."

"Sir, we have some bad news,"

"And that is?"

"Your father has fallen ill, terminal."

"What?"

"He has an expected 2 THYRs left."

"I'm in the middle of space? how can I get to him?"

"We have sent a man named Uriste to the planet of Flarapia, He will guide you from there. Got it?"

"Um, Okay."

"I understand its hard news to hear, but, things happen. I guess we will see you soon."

"Thank you."

They hang up

"My father is terminal." Anooin explains to Nagol.

"Our?"

"My. We still dont know that we are related yet."

"Fine. And sorry to hear that."

"Yeah, I guess i will have to take training later. I am being transported back when I get to Flarapia, by a man named 'Uriste'."

"Oh, Him."

"Yeah. You know him?"

"You could say that."

"Well, I guess it was nice meeting you. And good luck at boot camp, you'll need it."

"Yeah, Well, I need to get to my room before we dock.

"15 MINUTES UNTIL DOCKING PROCEDURE BEGINS" shouts the intercom.

"Alright, well, see you outside i guess." Anooin says, with a bittersweet tone in his voice.

Afterwards, they both leave the vessel, and part ways, but not for the final time. After they split, Anooin meets the mysterious man, dressed in all white clothing, and a hood to indicate that he was, indeed a sorcerer.

"Uriste?" Anooin questioned the man.

"Yes, I am he, who of you speak. Uriste is my name, and I am here to transport you back to your father, who is terminally ill." Uriste says, with a low toned voice, and the hood still in the same position it was five minutes ago.

"Okay, well where is your ship? vessel? cargo transport?"

"I, Uriste have another way of travel. This, called rifting, is how we shall get back to your father, who is terminally ill."

"How long will it take? Years? Months? Days? (There is no way that it can be under a day, it took me like 3 years to get here!)"

"Approximately, 15 Minutes."

Anooin, shocked, says:

"Liar."

"I'm Sorry?"

"No, I should be. Sorry. Just, Its unbelievable."

"Alright, lets get on with the journey then, shall we?"

Uriste opens a rift, which is some sorta similar to a portal, just slightly slower, and there are more variations of rifts. And the two enter. Then land on Flaretopia II.

"Where are we?" Anooin questions.

"We are back on Flaretopia II, your home-planet." " The palace is about two miles north. good luck."

"Okay, Thank you Uriste."

"You are very much welcome, your majesty."

Just as Anooin is about to speak Uriste rifts away into non-existence.

"Your Majesty?"

Anooin walks the two mile journey, before about three-fourths into his journey, he runs into Aaron.

"Hey Dude!" Aaron yells.

"Hey! Sorry I dont have much time left, Ive got to get to the palace as soon as possible!"

"I can take you there!"

"Would you? I'm really in a hurry!"

"Yeah of course! Get in!"

Anooin runs over and thanks Aaron, then they speed off, getting to the palace in no time.

"Thanks dude!" Annoin yells as Aaron speeds off.

"Alright. Guards, I really dont have much time, I must go." Anooin proclaims to the guards.

Anooin bolts through the palace to get to his father. And after a little while reaches him.

"Father!"

His Father was on his last strand. 2 THYR was an overestimate. There was no doubt in Anooins mind that his Father would be dead by the next day.

"My Son," Postler says with clear desperation in his breath.

"Father, How do you feel?"

"There is no saving me son, I must go on with the others, The other Kings of Flaretopia. And you, will be the first King of Flaretopia to not have the licence of King."

"What do you mean?"

"I, Postler Gerund Flares IV, Pronounce you, Anooin Gerund Flares V, King, of, Flaretopia-Gigantuonia."

And with that, his father took his final breaths, and died. Anooin was now King of Flaretopia.

"NOOOOOO!" Anooin let out a raging cry as his fathers body shriveled and slowly disapeared.

The Flaretopian Species, when they die, their bodies shrivel and disapear like dust. leaving only their clothes behind.

And as Anooin held his fathers disapearing hand, the Heart of Flaretopia, His fathers Orb, came out of his body, and imbedded itself into Anooins skin, choosing him, as the next user of the Heart of Flaretopia.
