[so what will it be my little duckling. will you chose the paven path and tread in cotton candy dreams of power till it kills you? or will you walk the tightrope of death in a struggle to achieve real strength? chose carefully you can't change your decision once you start without crippling yourself so far not even I will be able to fix you?] a maniacal grin split across the Duck god's bill as his face twisted into a grimace. it was quite the sight to the gilded duck of silver and gold but the reality of the situation dawned on Donald, he could chose to be granted the magic he always hoped for and die or he could take a journey into the bowels of hell and hope he will come out the other side." I uhmm uh I-" his words became shallow as if deep in thought before a determined glint appeared within the depths of his now inky black eyes."I'll give it my best shot!" Donald exclaimed "do your worst its better to die trying then to wind up dead from lack of desire!" he called out to the hulking figure of the duck before him.[ then train your body and concoureryour spirit only once you can control olyour aura can you build upon it and reinforce yourself construct a new body tougher than diamondsthen and only then will you have the strength to force mana to its knees and reveal its secrets to you. Mabey you will finally be the one to become. ah I've said too much] a miscevious look appeared in the duck god's eyes as he made a great flutter of his wings.[ till we meet again Donald, aruvior] and with a gust of ethereal wind Donald was blast from the scenery of the great summoning he had been brought to witness. as he was flying away back to the black confines of the void he had found himself in once again, he caught a glimpse of the one they had summoned. with jet black hair and green eyes that seemed to peirce one's soul, dressed in an Japanese school uniform. the figure was out of place in this magic world of sword and sorcery."What is some kid doing here!?" Donald called out confused but not enough time to ponder what he just witnessed. as he tumbled through the black of the abyss he suddenly felt a jolt as his bods shot up from the place he was sleeping on the grass. the smoldering coals beside him not even orange as they were cooled by the night wind. The sunrise stretched out infront of him in countless hues of green, blue, red, purple, deep brown, and cold silver, bright whites, and a dark almost crimson color split the sky. they sparkled with hues of magic running wild throughout the sky a lightshow of magic."So it was all a dream huh I guess it's good that I am alive."Donald spoke with relief till he saw a faint beam In the distance, it was too far away thousands of miles to really tell what it was but Donald knew. it was that great magic he had just witnessed, even from thousands of miles away he just knew it was the same."So it wasn't just some elaborate show after all..." his voice trailed off in wonderment as he pondered what insane thing was happening to this world." Don't tell me that crazy duck god is trying to rope me into some elaborate war!become a king or some bullshit? I don't buy it!" cried out in distraught while pondering the last words of the duck god accidentally waking Arieta up In the process
"huh what's going on quuack?" Arieta awoke with a start hearing Donald suddenly shouting right next to her."eek are we under attack quack!" She began quickly glancing around in a fright fearing the worst.
"calm down you scatterbrain were not under attack, and even if we were there's no way you would of reacted fast enough" Donald after quickly dusting himself off from the grass stood up and pointed at the gorgeous multicolored sunrise off in the distance." it's morning so it's time to get a move on!" He exclaimed trying not to alert her after being put so on edge after his little 'church sermon' with that crazy old duck.
"aww quack but I wanna sleep in" Arieta exclaimed like a small child refusing to get up for school.
"no buts you said you wanted to get stronger right well we aren't going to get anywhere if we don't get our asses in high gear. this world is changing and I don't know if it's for better or worse but we need to start as soon as possible so no sleeping in!" Donald quickly turned away from Arieta's whines of protest, and began trudging through the thick brush of the forest to make their way towards the village in the distance.
soon the duo dawned upon a well worn road that stretched into the distance after making their way out of the thick foliage. in the distance great walls of wood stood erect a spot for sore eyes in the present grasslands that surrounded the town. it wasn't grand by any means just some quickly hobbled walls with a few militia mes standing gard outside the one gate into the town. a small line stood single file in front of the gates, a few wagons and pepole on horseback stood orderly awaiting their turn, a small lime was formed closer to the gate made up life lone travelers on foot waiting to determine in. The duo weary from their walk quickly made their way into the second line for pepole on foot waiting for the time when their turn to enter would finally arrive.
"state your business." the gard lazily spoke to the duo who had finally arrived to the front of the line.
"oh umm we are here to find some work." Donald replied arieta was about to interject with some bullcrap about how they were going to be strong or were just traveling or something, but Donald quickly cut her off with a light whack to the back of the head. she looked like she was about to begin crying but she stayed quiet after that.
"ughh more workers,do you at least have enough to pay the toll to get in?" the gard asked exasperated at the two.
"umm no but we can work!" he quickly shot in trying his best to weasel their way into the town without any cash.
"no good broke ass-" the gard muttered something under his breath but Donald elected to ignore it in favor of trying to get in. "crap well fine then you won't stop pestering us till you get in will ya you ghha- fine the price to get in is 5 cop it'll be 15 for that thing over there" the gard gestured to Arieta the one beside him causing Donald to grit his teeth wanting to rip this guard's head right off his sholders. the gard heald up a small poster with a picture of a white flower with bluish tips to it's petals." if ya can find 10 of these water Lillys I'll consider your toll paid and I'll let you in. now take your dam pet and get out of my sight you broke ass bum." the gard quickly shooed them away anger beginning to boil up inside Donald after hearing the blatant racism being spat in Arieta's lovely face. he would put up with it for now but he wanted nothing more than to string that man up by his neck.
"I umm quack sorry for making so much trouble quack!" arieta quickly tried to bow in an apology after hearing that they had to pay so much more to get her into the city. Donald quickly caught her shoulder before she could finish the bow stopping her and looking her straight in the eyes.
"Never be sorry about something like that!"his tone was dead serious as he spoke to her quietly off to the side." it's those bastards falt for not seeing how amazing you are, you want to become stronger right!? well in order to do that we need to get into that town find a job and make enough to get out of this shithole of a kingdom" he called out to her with a vigor in his voice, the fire burning in his eyes"
"but but quack-" Donald quickly cut her off " no buts now come on we have some flowers to find." without accepting her retort he dragged them both off into the Forrest in search of the flowers they needed to get in.
