(The Legend of the lost galaxy) these chapter are going to be very spaced out as I have only written up to 19, my friend is going to work on it with me, and my grandmother edits them, so yea..
Anyways this takes place a whole year and a half after Quest for the Crystals so all the characters are a year older. If the first bit seems wierd it's because I edited it for this website.
Enjoy! Sci-fi Featherheads!
Chapter 1 Our Story begins
“Okay, Janner, truth or dare?” Kalmar asked.
All of the Wingfeathers were huddled around the warm fireplace in one of the many parlors of Castle Rysen. The kids were sitting on fluffy blue and green pillows and a fluffy yellow rug while the adults sat on the couches that were a cream color with gold accents.
It was their game night. They had a game night almost every week that everyone enjoyed. Given the past few years of their lives; they really needed something like this.
“Ummm… truth” Janner answered.
“Oh come on you never pick dare!” exclaimed Kalmar.
“I'm just not really a dare kind of person, now can you please just say the question?”
“Sure.” Kalmar replied, while he flipped through the cards in the game and then landed on one which made him giggle. He showed it to Leeli who was sitting right next to him. She covered her mouth and started giggling as well. Kalmar swallowed hard to try to keep himself from laughing and began to read the card. “Tell us your deepest secret?” he asked.
Janner looked around nervously and said, “That can't be what's on the card!”
“Want to see it for yourself?” Kalmar responded.
Janner stood up and took the card from Kalmar to be amazed at the fact that the card actually did ask that very question. "I'm still no answering it!" Janner exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at his brother.
“You have too!” Leeli brought up and got a look of 'not helpful’ from Janner.
“Come on Janner you have to answer the question, we all know it already” said Kalmar.
“What! No….”
"If you don't tell her already I will whack you with a sack of toatatoes!"
"I'm not going to...Maybe ever now be quiet!"
Just as Kalmar was about to say something, they heard the bathroom door open and a knock at the front gates.
“Someone's here!” Sara exclaimed as she walked into the living room to see that Kalmar had a pillow over his head, about ready to whack Janner with it. Artham was breathing heavily while sitting on the couch with a magazine that was upside down. He was reading an article titled, “How to Perfectly Interior Design Your Castle.” Leeli holding a locket that strangly looked like her's, pointing to a detailed 8 year plan for something. And Nia, Esben, and Podo were sitting on the couch, chuckling to themselves, watching all of this go down.
She made a ‘what in the wide world of Aerwiar is going on right now?’ face, and said “Okayyyyyyyyyy…….., Come on, we need to go see whoever is here.”
They all got up and walked to the castle gates to see who was at the door. When they opened the door they were met by a large man holding a ginormous amount of books.
“Oh dear, it seems as though I should have brought along a backpack. Hello Wingfeathers!” It was Oskar!
It had been several months since the Jewel's coronation at Anniera. The Annierians actually dubbed it as Anniera’s Golden Age, under the rule of King Kalmar Wingfeather and his brother and sister.
Oskar had gone back to the Green Hollows to organize the Great Library of Ban Yorna.
About every month or so Oskar would come to visit the Wingfeathers from the Green Hollows. Today was, in fact, the day that Oskar would come. Oskar always came with some sort of news, like he found some new ancient book, or a new creature of Aerwiar that he never knew existed from old Hollish books.
The Wingfeathers, with the help of pretty much everyone, had been working together on rebuilding the entire Castle Rysen. They even made some modifications to the castle, like adding more bedrooms so that each one of the kids would have their own room, and they were all extremely excited about it! One other improvement that Kalmar thought was very important, was that this version of Castle Rysen would be, in fact, fireproof.
Sara Cobbler moved in with the Wingfeathers into the castle. All of the orphans from the Fork Factory got to move to Anniera in the village where they were adopted by the many loving, caring and kind villagers.
“Oskar! Come in!” Nia said, as she held the door open for Oskar. He bustled through the door and plopped all the books down on a very exquisite marble and gold table. Then he turned around to see the Wingfeathers.
“Mr Reteep!” Janner exclaimed!
“Oh Janner, my boy, how you've grown since I last saw you!
“It's only been a month, Mr Reteep.”
“Still you're 15 now, now that is something to celebrate. You know people in the second Epoch, mainly in the Kimira Kingdom, but also in other parts of Aerwiar, held lavish celebrations for those who lived past the age of 15. For it was quite rare to live past 15, due to the circumstances of frigid cold temperatures or frostbite, but you get the idea.”
“Thanks…. I think…” Janner said awkwardly.
“I cannot believe how magnificently the castle has progressed since just last month. Only a month ago, it was still under construction.” Oskar said as he looked all around the room.
“It’s still in construction, but we've gotten the entire first level finished. Unfortunately the second, third and fourth levels aren’t finished so we all have to sleep in the living room.” Nia said.
“Well you certainly fooled me, it looks just like how they described it in the old books!” he said as he took in another breath of Annierian royalty air which of course was not a real thing but Oskar pretended that it was.
“How is it back in the Green Hollows?”
“What books have you found?”
“Did you say ‘hi’ to Thorne O’Sally for me?”
“Any new fantasy novels, Mr. Reetep?”
All four of the children were bombarding Oskar with questions.
“Why don't we let Oskar settle in a little more before you all start asking him all of these questions.” Nia asked.
Later, they all sat down in one of the parlors on the soft couches and cozy cushions and Oskar answered all of their questions. He also gave Sara the new edition of The Magic of Science which is a sci-fi fantasy novel that was just released in Aerwiar, actually hot off the presses. She squealed when she saw it; she didn't even know that the book existed.
After answering all of the children's questions, Oskar swallowed hard and said, “I have something for all of you which is actually the reason why I'm here today. I was cleaning out the Great Library and of course, I was taking books off the shelves to arrange them in proper order, and I discovered this book . This particular book was a bit different from the other books. It was also a different color than any book in the entire library. It was like a bronze color and had a streak of red at the bottom. I tried taking it off the shelf, but it wouldn't budge so I pushed it the other way. When I did, I was shocked to see that the bookcase turned from the wall, revealing a hidden room.”
“Wait what! You mean hidden within the Great Library of Ban Yorna is a secret bookcase room?!” Janner exclaimed with wide eyes.
“We've been gone only a few months and we missed a hidden book room?” Kalmar questioned.
“Yes, a secret hidden room behind a bookshelf. Of course, being an inspiring author and being a book lover of all sorts, I went inside of this secret room. I was underwhelmed to see that there was nothing inside the room except for one singular roundish table. It was a brown stained wood color. It was ornate with curls and stuff all around the base, but what amazed my eyes was that on top of the table was one large golden book. I went over to it, of course, and I saw that this book looked almost like a journal or a diary. I looked inside of it to see who had written this beautiful golden book, but I was surprised to see that there was no name. However, there was a title; The Guardians Of The Lost Galaxy.” Oskar said, waving his hands in the air for dramatic effect. “Where's the book now?” Sara asked.
“I'm glad you asked…”, He replied and pulled from behind him a large golden book with shimmering silver swirls on the cover. In big bold and black letters, the title of the book read, The Guardians Of The Lost Galaxy.
Oooh, quite an exciting start! The first story you mentioned (Quest for the Crystals) I'm guessing isn't posted here...or maybe it is. If it's not, where can I find it? I would love to know how Podo and Esben are both...here. I would be more specific, but I can't turn on the spoiler strip on my phone 😅
