The Giant Beast

Part 1: The Prophecy of Time
----------------------------------------
Chapter 1: The Sleeping City woken up
----------------------------------------
It was sunset in the city, and the daytime life was winding down. Lights in the houses were turing off as people went to bed and all of the citizens outside of their houses hurried to get to their warm, comfortable beds before the night became cold and misty. Doors locked and soon it was completely quite. Once there was nothing stirring, one of the shadows stirred from behind a lamppost. It moved out and floated across the ground like a ghost. The Shadow crossed the street then started navigating through the maze-like alleys behind the buildings. It stopped at one spot, then bent over. What seemed like an arm sticked out and rubbed the ground dusting away the dirt, revealing a Transmutation Circle. another arm came out and The Shadow pressed the Circle with it's hands. Bright red light came streaming out of the Circle then a huge rumbling sound came. Hard black obsidian rock started rising from the ground, carrying the Shadow up with it. When a tower rose up high sharp spikes came flying out, piercing the buildings. Suddenly screaming and yells of pain arose, waking up the whole city. People came running out and the police were on the case. One cop stepped up and clapped his hands together, creating a big vortex made out of water. The vortex sucked a shard of the pillar and the rock started collapsing, but another pillar sprouted off and the Shadow jumped from the falling one to the other pillar. The policeman threw another blast at the pillar, and it shattered again. The Shadow jumped off and another rock sprouted under it, The Shadow then rode up on it. Soon all the cops were firing at the shadow as the pillars of black rock wrecked havoc on the city.
----------------------------------------
"Wake up sleepy head!" Elwood Armin's brother Elijah Armin said as he shook him, "It's time to get up!" Elwood opened his eyes up slightly, and looked up. He saw Elijah's face as he said again, "Wake up! It is time to get up!" Elwood rubbed his eyes and sat up. Elijah then sat back down in his chair. Elwood and Elijah were ridding on a train to Liourdin, they were about thirty minutes away.
"The Train Engineer just announced that they have to stop at the next station, the train cannot continue to Liourdin." He announced sadly. "Looks like our trip is ending in a abrupt end..."
Elwood looked at his brother confusingly and asked, "Why?"
Elijah answered with, "He said the cause was from some monster using Alchemy and wreaking havoc on all the city, they are already starting to evacuate."
"That's odd... To bad we can't go there... We were supposed to stay there to get our State Alchemist qualifications..." Elwood Sighed. He knew this was going to be bad, the qualifications only are happening in the Spring and Spring is almost over. Elwood slumped down back into his seat and started going back to sleep.
"Wake me up when we get to the next station." He told his brother.
Elijah looked at him then turned back to the empty seat in front of him, "Okay, I will wake you up. See you then." Elijah then dozed off, but stayed half awake so when they reached the station he would know.

Chapter 2: Hiourdin Station
----------------------------------------
The Train reached the station at sunrise. The station was built over a lake, so much of it was a platform. Large ornate stone pillars held up the stone roof, and another floor was on the roof. The bottom floor held most of the tracks but at the landing spots stairs led up to the upper stairs. On the upper level it was mostly planters and stone cobble roads, with information booths by the stairs leading up. Bus stops and tram stations were on the upper level. There were stairs with roads on each side leading down to a road in the city. Elwood carried his bags and stepped up the stairs, with Elijah following close behind. They reached the top and approached a information booth, being greeted by a happy voice,
"Hello sir, what is your name and how can I help you?" The person working at the Information Booth asked. She was wearing a white tee-shirt with a black vest. On her chest she had a badge that said Sarah Goodin, Information Booth Manager.
"My name is Elwood Armin and this is my brother, Elijah Armin" Elwood said as he turned to Elijah.
Elijah stepped up, "Can you help us by depicting us to a nice hotel, but not to expensive?" He asked.
"Sure, the Durinapple Hotel, let me show you where it is." She pulled out a map from under the desk, then pointed at a spot on the map. " Just follow the street the Northern Exit leads into south, the there should be a left turn that leads onto Leadman Avenue. Just follow it up and the Hotel is on your left side, you cannot miss it. You can have the map to find your way."
Elwood smiled and said, "Thank you, we will be going now. Come on Elijah, lets go now." Elwood walked toward the North exit like the Clerk said, and Elijah followed. Soon they reached the steps and they stepped down into the busy, noisy street.
"Okay... The Clerk said to follow the street south... Thats that way!" Elwood said as he pointed in a direction. "Lets go!" He marched on and Elijah followed.
----------------------------------------
The city was a mess once it quieted down. The shadow had disappeared but the huge black monolith he left behind started collapsing, crushing a couple more buildings. Fires rage all over the place and the citizens were in a panic. The cops tried to direct the citizens, but they were to panicky. Some State Alchemists tried to use Alchemy to fix the damage, but it was just to much of a mess. They were starting to pile the dead people, which there were hundreds. Meanwhile a group of Soldiers were speaking privately in a corner. They were dressed in sharp blue uniforms, with white sashes going over their shoulder to their hip. The hats were three pointed and blue, and their pants were blue. Three of them were standing at attention at the forth, and there was another standing by the fourth soldier.
"What do you say we do Sir?" One Soldier asked.
The general answered with, "Just continue evacuating the Citizens, and try to put out the fires." as He rubbed his chin.
"Yes sir!" Two of the said as they snapped to attention and saluted. They then ran of to tell the Cops the order.
The third asked, "What are your orders for me sir?"
"Just help the cops. That is all." He ordered the soldier.
"Yes sir!" He said as he snapped to attention and saluted. He ran of to help the others fix the damage.
The man right by the General said, "This really is a mess... What will we do now? the State Alchemist initiations were supposed to start now, and with the city in wreck we cannot do a thing."
"Yes... We will just have to carry on, maybe lengthen the initiations a little longer, or when the city gets fixed. We will just have to see what to do." the general agreed.

Love the story! i hope others will think the same...

Ya sure I agree!

[Ridder]

Can't really say I love or like it, or hate it or dislike it.

You gotta describe it more, make more things happen. Then I can say how I feel about it.

[spookyghost]

Yep, I am going to describe it when they reach the next station. (AKA Chapter 2)

[Mario Levels]

[Blablob]

Very interesting. I found it difficult to follow at times, but other than that good work

[spookyghost]

I am kindve busy with other stuff, so I will not write as much. Expect chapter three in a week !
EDIT: ARG! I am swamped with homework, and I am out of inspiration... this complex writing isn't for me. I will stop this story (AGAIN....) and start a newer, simpler one.
Can mod delete this topic and my other story topic? Thanks.
