《TRX's Adventures》Vol. 3 Chapter 13: A game and an adventure.
Advertisement
In the middle of a flowery field, which had a tree or two, TRX and the others were playing with a small brown ball.
The game consisted of bouncing the ball off a tree, and hitting the ball when it bounced, preventing it from touching the ground, so that it would bounce back into the tree and so on. Whoever managed to bounce the ball the most times, in several rounds, was going to be the winner and the others were going to obey in what the winner wanted.
TRX was first. She bounced the ball four times. Blocky was second, the ball bounced five times. Roundy was next, and bounced the ball two sad times. Pointy was last... And he bounced the ball thirty-two times.
Everyone was very surprised by that event, and went on to the second round.
The results were now:
- TRX - 7
- Blocky - 6
- Roundy - 10
- Pointy - 45
Pointy was winning, but nothing the rest could do about it. Knowing Pointy, he was going to make them do strange things...
The next round continued normally until it was Pointy's turn who, trying to show off, hit the ball very hard and it bounced into a nearby cave.
Everyone's eyes were dotted when they saw that. In that cave was a blue dragon that had three wings.
They sent Pointy to pick up the ball. Once Pointy entered the cave, the others fled. So mean.
.
..
...
Three hours passed after this, it was almost dark, TRX and the others were back at the house they had made. They all thought Pointy was not coming back... What?
Out of nowhere, a silhouette of a dragon appeared in the sky. It was the dragon from the cave and Pointy, for some reason, was resting on its back, with the ball. They all saw it from the window and came down to watch.

The dragon landed next to the house and Pointy flew to the door of the house, where the others were.
The dragon seemed docile, for some reason. Pointy was not afraid of it, despite being afraid of lizards. He seemed to have overcome his fear, somehow. It was hard to tell, as I paid more attention to what TRX and the rest were doing.
But hey, Pointy came back with the rest and gave them each a whack for abandoning him.
A few hours passed and they became close to that dragon. After that, they rested in the forest.
The next day, they said goodbye to the dragon and decided to return to their village. It was located on the side of a mountain, but around it was a tropical jungle. The houses were... They were stone huts with roofs of leaves. Their inhabitants were similar to them: geometric figures that looked cute, and one or another that had strange powers that they used in their daily lives. They could not articulate words because they had not yet developed that much.
Well, continuing with the plot, they finally arrived. When they did, they saw that everyone in the village was scared. Because of this, they went to the village headman, who was shaped like a golden diamond, to find out what had happened. The village chief's house looked like a castle, but with a leaf roof. It had a big hole in it.
When they arrived, the situation made them understand, along with the poor language they had, which was more sign language, that the village relics had been stolen. Some bandits, who were of various races: stone men, tree men, nishiks (they are like little goblins) and others of the same species (cute geometrical figures), had done it... Despite saying "men", those creatures were not humanoid looking, mostly, they were kind of cute too... I think.

At that, TRX and the others, without hesitation, went on an epic journey to retrieve the village relics, and the other things they seemed to have stolen from other settlements. The village chief allowed them to do that because they proved to have greater potential than the others (regarding their natural abilities), well above average. Besides, they had a healer, and that was enough.
Summing up the whole journey, what TRX and her friends did was to fight against these bandits, who settled in different parts of the world... Which looked kind of like Pangaea, and they saved a lot of people in the process. They went one at a time. At first they didn't know where to go, but after trying to communicate with people in the area, they discovered one of their lairs. Upon arrival, they blew up everyone present and discovered the location of the other dens. They did the same in the others, but did not find the crystals, it seemed they were in the main base, with the boss. They went there.
When they arrived at the place, they were greeted by a tenebrous aura. The place was a kind of fortress. The buildings were inside the mountains that surrounded the place. They managed to make their way through the hordes of bandits that infested the place.
Finally they reached where the bandit chief was located, in the highest tower. His appearance was that of a star (polygon), in other words... He was of the same race as they were.
He was seated on a kind of rustic throne. Next to it were the four crystals he had snatched from the other races. The star chief looked at them defiantly, and TRX and her friends looked back at him.
At that, the boss took the crystals and, out of nowhere, a kind of golden aura began to emanate from his body. He was receiving power from the crystals (don't ask).
|||||||
- H-hey... I'm losing it already. - Eliah said to me.
- Just listen.
|||||||
The boss was preparing to have a showdown against TRX and friends. TRX and her friends were also preparing for this moment. It was going to be a complicated fight, much more so than the previous ones.
.
..
...
In short, TRX and her friends defeated him. They went back the way they came to return the crystals. They each carried one with them.
||||||
- If you're going to tell us the story like that, I'd better leave. - Eliah replied.
- ...Well, I'm sorry, but it's important that I do it like this.
- And why? - asked the girl.
- You'll see.

As they were returning, a faint aura, coming from the crystals, began to surround them, but they did not notice it.
