《Lune Levant》Chapter 21

By midmorning, Pitch had something curious to show to the other group members.
Lucy was the first to notice, but Pitch refused to explain what it was until all were present. And so, Lucy immediately went to force Dreadlilocks and Uriel awake so that condition could be satisfied as soon as possible.
“She’s g-got it in a bucket and she won’t let me see! I’m just d-dying of curiosity!” she exclaimed, pulling Dreadli out of an armchair. “Come on, come on; before I explode!!”
“Why don’t you try asking Mr. Azor…?” Dreadli said, yawning. “I’ll bet he already knows…”
“Oh, I don’t kn-now where he is. The sun’s out already; he’s p-probably in hiding…just get on your feet, please…!”
After 10 minutes of impassioned pleading, Lucy finally succeeded in assembling everyone in the kitchen, except for Azor, who she was still unable to find.
“That’s to be expected,” said Pitch, still holding the bucket close. “Because, you see…he’s in here.”
“In…the bucket??” asked Dreadli.
“Yes, in the bucket,” Pitch answered. Then she made an uncertain face, as if she had just noticed something strange. “…Look, I have to say something,” she said to some unknown person. “I can’t just not explain it at all; they’ll wonder…now, I won’t go into detail; I promise I’ll say as little as I can get away with, alright? Alright, then.”
“…Are you talking to him? How come we c-can’t hear him anymore??” asked Lucy.
“I don’t think that falls within the purview of things I am allowed to explain…” said Pitch. “Anyway, just quiet down and let me say what I wanted to say.”
“Azor is…in a state of rest, of sorts,” she began. “You could probably tell just by looking before that his body is made of magic, for the most part. But what little there is left that is not magic is very sensitive, and he must work consciously to maintain it. Until now, of course, he had lived all his life in one place, and he was sort of…calibrated for that environment, if you will. So now that he is in a new environment, he must re-calibrate in order to be comfortable, and he will need some time to himself in order to accomplish that.”

“Sounds like an awful lot of trouble…” said Uriel. “You’ll tell him I wish him well, won’tcha?”
“Oh, he can hear you. And I’m sure he appreciates it,” said Pitch. Although, a second later, she made a face that let them all know he had probably expressed the opposite.
“So w-what’s he doing in a bucket? Is he t-tiny now or something??” Lucy asked, giggling.
“No he isn’t, and I’m not allowed to explain any further. And don’t laugh; he’s moody enough as it is,” said Pitch, covering the bucket protectively. “By the way, I am the only one who is allowed to hold this bucket or look at its contents. No one is allowed to touch its contents. Have I made myself clear?”
The other three nodded, still somewhat amused and bewildered.
“…Well, now that that’s outta the way, I s’pose it’s about time we cast off,” said Uriel. “We’ll have to leave before noon at least, if we want to cross the Margins by moonrise.”
“So how are we going to get there?” asked Dreadlilocks.
“Why, in the rowboat, of course.”

8 142A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...
