Chapter 5 – Encounters
- Oh, swell… - David stopped in the middle of nowhere. – Lost. This forest should be called Lost Woods.
- What is this…? A dinosaur…? – Edward III asked as he raised his eyebrows, looking at a small, transparent floating sphere in front of him. It showed a creature inside it.
- Probably… but not from here… - A woman answered. She was Germana, the Psychic, with around 20 years, on a tight, purple suit. Apparently, she was the one keeping the sphere floating, as she held a hand under the sphere, without touching it.
- We already noticed it’s not from here, Germana. Where is it from? – Gabrielli asked, also approaching the petrified creature inside.
- From another dimension… - Germana answered after touching the sphere.
- How did it get here? – III inquired, notably curious.
- The Eve’s Comet. That’s the answer. The Eve’s Comet is about to enter our planet’s orbit. And this is only the beginning. The comet is yet to reach the planet, but when it does, multiple portals will open.
Edward III immediately designed a plan.
- And more of these will come, right…?
- Yes. It seems their dimension is also affected by the fault.
David hid behind a tree. He was sure to have heard voices. He put out the sword and assumed attack position.
- Where did Petrie go?!
- He can’t disappear in thin air, right? – Cera ironically responded.
“What are these creatures…? Dinosaurs…?” David thought poking from the side of the tree.
- Well, now, who do we have here…? – A known voice said behind him, and a cold object touched his neck.
David turned around slowly, knowing what waited him. Edward III.
- What do you want?
- Drop your sword. – He ordered, pointing to the sword.
David hesitated for a few seconds, but dropped the sword.
He then noticed who was with him: Germana and Gabrielli. And the first one was holding a small sphere inside which was one of the creatures he saw earlier.
- What is that…? – David asked, keeping his eyebrows still.
- That? You wish. – Edward III mocked, moving his own sword a few inches.
A disturbing silence followed, with David and Edward III exchanging angry looks.
Littlefoot poked from a nearby bush. Four of those creatures were in a small meadow in the middle of the forest.
- Eh! It’s Petrie! – He whispered to the others behind him, after seeing the flyer inside an object over one of the creature’s hand.
- Really? – Ducky confirmed, approaching the bush.
- So? – Cera asked, impatient.
- It is him!
- Do you have anything you would like to say for the last time? – Edward III teased again, approaching the sword at the face.
David started to sweat. He had to find a quick escape besides death.
- Kill him already, III! – Germana shouted.
- Very well then… - III grabbed David by the neck with his hand, pushing him against the tree. He pulled the sword back and pointed at David’s neck. – Die! – He shouted as he threw the blade against the David’s neck.
- Petrie! – Littlefoot shouted, charging out of the bush towards Germana.
- What?! – Edward III shouted as he saw another creature.
Using the distraction, David pulled away III’s arm and grabbed the sword with a roll, assuming attack position again, now with his shield out.
- Get him, Germana! – III turned to David, also assuming attack position. – I’ll take care of this one.
- Hold this. – Germana ordered, giving the sphere to Gabrielli, sprinting towards Littlefoot.
III dashed towards David, as well as the other swordsman did. Both collided, holding their swords against each other, holding both with the shields.
- What are you doing here?! – David struggled to ask, while trying to shove away Edward.
- I was about to ask you the same. – III simply responded, although also having problems with shoving away David.
Finally, both shoved away each other, but dashed over into each one once again. However, both were now trying to hit each other by executing several cuts. It seemed, though, that all were blocked by the opponent’s sword.
- Littlefoot! Get out of there! It’s after you! – Cera yelled, also running away with Spike and Ducky.
Germana seemed not to run, but to hover after Littlefoot, who immediately sprinted out of the meadow.
- Cera! Go after Petrie! He’s with the other thing! – The longneck ordered, while trying to escape from the creature’s seemly deadly hands.
Cera hesitated for a few moments, but then took a shortcut into the bushes, running towards the meadow. Germana, however, ignored this and kept going.
(So? What did you think?)
