《TRX's Adventures》Vol. 3 Chapter 14: Temples and an unexpected visitor.
Advertisement
TRX and Roundy were resting in the forest around a campfire. It was nighttime. Stars adorned the sky. They had not yet returned the crystals those bandits had stolen.
Suddenly, something moved through the bushes: it was Blocky, who had gone for a short walk, bringing wood and some ropes.
TRX, thanks to what Blocky had brought, began to build something.
At that moment, in outer space, a meteorite was approaching the planet.
After a while, TRX finished: she had made a wooden sword. She raised it and, in her imagination, a light coming from the sky appeared above the sword.
Blocky and Roundy marveled at that sword, which had a beautiful design.
The meteor was getting closer and closer, its impact was imminent.
While TRX kept raising the sword, Pointy flew at high speed towards the others, but he couldn't brake well and ended up colliding with TRX's sword, which fell into the bonfire. Everyone was a little sad about that.
Just at that instant, the meteorite fell, startling the group. It had fallen on top of a nearby mountain, so TRX and her friends decided to investigate.
They went to the mountain, but halfway there they were met with a big surprise, due to the collision: the road was blocked.
Pointy, without thinking twice, decided to shoot himself into the landslide and exploded, opening the way. TRX and her friends continued on their way, leaving Pointy behind for a few moments, as he was still regenerating.
After a while, they had reached the top of the mountain. The meteorite was there and had made a large crater. It was still hot.
Blocky, seeing that the meteorite might be made of some metal, decided to mine it. She jumped on the meteorite, froze part of its surface so it wouldn't burn, created her famous ice axe pickaxe again and started to mine... Or at least she tried to, because at the first hit the meteorite started to split, which scared the group. Blocky quickly moved away from the space object.

From the crack a beam of light began to shoot into the sky, which expanded greatly. After that, a strange root started to come out as well... It was not a root, at least it seemed so, a strange being started to emerge from that crack. It was an abomination: it looked like a log, but it had many eyes and mouths (and eyes inside its mouths), it also had several rings around it. That creature changed its appearance constantly, it was still very similar in spite of that.
The creature looked at the group and, in a voice of thunder, said the following:
- "I know what only one of you will be able to understand what I am going to tell you... It was not a mere coincidence that I fell in this place... But before I tell you something, I must test you. You must collect four pieces of a portal, which are found in four different temples in the subway. After you find them, you must return to me."
TRX explained the situation to her friends with signs. They hesitantly agreed.
- "It looks like your friends decided to do it, great. But, before you go, I must give you this coin, it will be useful to you later."
These were the words of the unknown creature. After this, TRX and her friends left.
The next day, TRX and the others went to look for caves that would give them access to the depths. All the caves led nowhere. Everyone was discouraged, until Roundy came up with a great idea: to mine their way underground.
The others approved of the idea and, thanks to Blocky's axe-axes, they began to mine. It was hard work, but in the end they succeeded.
That area of the subsoil had ceilings adorned with various precious stones and several stalagmites. In the distance they could see some very old structures, which were different from each other. There were four of them and, according to what the creature said, in each of them there was a piece of portal, so they decided to separate. When they arrived, they could not enter these, until the crystals reacted, glowing, and they were able to pass through. At this time, the crystals just lost relevance.

In TRX's temple was the upper part of the portal, it had very strange designs and was red with yellow. In Pointy's temple was the lower part. In Blocky's was one of the sides and in Roundy's was the other.
Then they brought all the pieces to the surface and went to the mountain where the creature was. They, that moment, were still wondering what they were for.
- "So you made it... Now build it."
Said the creature. TRX and her friends did so. They finished after a while. Everyone stared in awe at that portal.
- "Now you must pass through it, but first I must give you one last gift."
TRX and her friends began to glow, which lasted only an instant.
- "I have given you the ability to talk to other living beings, for this reason you are now able to understand my words... Now go through the portal and be sure to protect the coin I gave you."
The thing is, he didn't tell them everything that happened. The glow not only gave them the ability to do that, but also something else that I'm not going to mention yet.
They all passed through the portal and disappeared without a trace. The creature was left alone saying to itself:
- "I know they must find and guide the Hero, but... They are still weak, sending them there will make them strong enough to withstand all the things that will happen to them... But still I know they are going to make it; however, what about the Hero? That information was not revealed to me... I must stop thinking about such things, my work here has already culminated."
The creature quickly began to disappear and a beam of light shot up into the sky...

The Scarlet Knight is a short story that takes place in the same universe as The Reborn. There are elements of Gamelit inside, but nothing too extensive. I write the Scarlet Knight on my phone, so there are grammatical issues inside. You do not have to read The Reborn to enjoy this story.
