Chapter Six: Split Paths
-
“It’s what?!”, she exclaimed stairing at the water a little scared, she shook her head to clear it and turned to Apollo.”Can’t really have fun now, we’re on a log”.
-
Apollo leaned over the edge of the log and put his face close to the water. “Don’t worry, nothing’s living in there. Just water…”
-
Andaluza realized the log was slowing down and looked at Apollo. “I know it’s 30 feet deep but you have to find a way to push it. If we try to paddle it, it’ll topple over.”
-
*Pandora sighed*”That’s what I’m afraid of”, she whispered.(dude this is like the bonding log lol, were people confess weaknesses and in the end they know more about very one l #TheBondingLog lol)
-
Apollo put his hand on Pandora’s shoulder assuringly. “Nobody’s expecting you to do anything with it. It’s alright.” Apollo then climbed off the back of the log, trying to push it as far as possible one time. “I think it’ll be much easier if we just do this.” Apollo dived to the bottom of the lake and resurfaced quickly, holding a rock and a string of kelp. “Ok…don’t ever make me do that again. The kelp is 60 feet long, tie it to the log.” Apollo got on the log again and tied it to the rock.
-
Andaluza tied the end of the kelp to the log. “Apollo, I just hope your idea was worth it. You’re soaking wet, taste like lake water, and you got a rock and seaweed.”
-
“Are we going to fly to pull the log?”, Pandora said totoaly not geting it. (I just realized that the third most powerful Acendaii in the world is 5’4 o_o she’s unnatural lol XD)
-
Apollo lifted up the rock. “Of course not. I’m just going to do something very fun, now grab on.” Apollo threw the rock and cut the kelp, sending the rock into the water and the log forwards at twice the speed it did before. “Woohoo! Logging!”
-
“Yay!”.
-
Apollo watched the water speed past the log. “ Pandora, have you ever done anything out in nature, without technology?”
-
“Twice…but technology is every where now a days, can’t really escape it entirely”, she said remembering the two times she had actually been in nature and done stuff like hiking.
-
Apollo yanked the seaweed again to propel the log. “Yeah, in reality, I kinda hate it. Technology is good, but it’s controlling us.” Apollo stuck his wings over the water and the log stabilized a bit. “ Didnt think that would work.”
-
“One day theirs going to be a technology apocalypse I bet”, Pandora said snicering.
-
Jack glared at Andaluza as the fire brushed against the synthetic armored pants, hardly damaging them.
“Nice try though. Anyway, I gotta go. Doing what the Keepers is SUPPOSED to do, like hunt down the OGA. Bye.” Jack walked away, entering his ship again and flying off.
-
Andaluza jumped onto Jack’s ship. “Oh no you’re coming with us!” <i>Andaluza ripped apart Jack’s control circuit and fried it to shreds, causing Jack’s ship to plummet helplessly to the ground. </i>”We didn’t come here, to find you so you could be an ass. We’re supposed to be The Keepers, and you’re just what? A publicity stunt?! We’ve been working our butts off under Apollo and have learned far more than we expect to at first. All we need now is a larger force, and you are just the man we need.” Andaluza’s angry look soon faded to plea. “Please, Jack. You know what’s right and what’s selfish, and you’re clearly in the latter.”
