"Huh? Why are you crying?" Asked a confused Ruby, unbeknownst to her, Earl had just might as well made the biggest mistake of his life."I'm sorry" said Earl as he gave Ruby a smile despite his crying demeanour, "sorry, for what?!!!" Asked Ruby in an angry voice. "I lost them," said Earl in a really low voice. Ruby looked at Earl blankly, her expression changing from an angry one to one of disbelief, her mouth hung open slightly, and her eyes were dead."Ruby?" Asked Earl, seeing the state of Ruby, he had never seen her like this before, no-one had, and frankly it was a bit scary. Any normal person would rant and scold Earl after hearing this, instead her face went blank, and her voice didn't raise by so much as a decibel. It was quite clear that her feelings of disappointment and shock far exceeded her feelings of anger.And like a mindless zombie, she simply turned around, and headed to the table where Mr Stevens and Miss Kayla sat. "What happened, where are the ot
"Okay Phoenix, lets go make it up to them" said Earl, Phoenix, who was sitting on his head gave a hearty caw in response. "Alright" Earl said as he approached the massive gates that sat in-between him and the snowy Taiga.He stood in front of it, looking at the massive gates for some time, before walking over to the walls beside it, "guess scaling the gates will be a lot easier than scaling the wall" said Earl, as he walked back over to the gates.Earl then squatted as he prepared himself, he looked up at the pointed end of the gate, and had a an anxious sweat run down the side of his face.'really hope I don't end up stabbing myself in the butt' Earl thought to himself as he planted his feet firmly into the ground.And using all the strength in his legs, he leaned forwards slightly, and vaulted over the gates, barely avoiding the sharp spikes at its tips.He then landed safely on the other side, feeling both proud and alleviated, "that could've been bad" said Earl as he once again l
"S'up dork?" asked Jake, as he walked up to Earl with a neutral look on his face, Earl on the other hand was confused as he watched Jake, who had a blue shirt and brown shorts on, with both his hands in his pockets, approach him, in red shoes nonetheless."What are you doing here?" asked Earl as he saw Jake walk passed him, "well, I was thinking of getting some late night training, and then I heard a lot of noise coming from this direction, so I came to check it out" said Jake.He then stared at the fallen Krix, and then back at Earl, and with a single brow raised, he asked, "Did you do that?"Earl was still confused, but let out a sigh before answering, "Yes, plus what are you doing training at night in the forest?" Asked Earl.Jake then looked at Earl and kept silent for 5 seconds before answering, "What are you doing going around killing beasts at night?" Asked Jake."Touché" said Earl as he let out another sigh, "You're really something huh?" asked Jake, Earl was shocked on hearin
Earl and Jake stood in front of Christopher and Damian in confusion."uhh... Damian, what are you doing here?" asked a confused Earl, Damian who had a a flat look on his face let out a sigh before answering. "seeing as I lost to a fair maiden, I viewed myself as weak and decided to train when everyone was asleep" said Damian."fair maiden?!!" asked Jake in confusion, "He means Ruby" said Earl."exactly...." said Damian, "but in the middle of my training, I heard a loud crash and met up with Chris before arriving" he continued before tilting his head slightly to the side."is that a Krix?" asked a confused Damian, "was that what caused the loud sounds we heard?" asked Christopher as he walked closer to the dead beast."so Jake is able to kill even a Krix all by himself?" asked Damian as he too approached the fallen corpse."I'm flattered, but it was Earl who killed that thing, not me" said Jake as he began walking off.Damian, Christopher, and Earl all stood in silence as they heard w
Earl was standing at the start of one of the rope bridges, with the unopened treasure list on in his hand.He had an impatient and eager look on his face as he couldn't help but get excited for the second game to start.Despite the hidden motives inputted by the prime general, the idea and nature of the second game did nothing but put a smile on his face, as well as fill him with anticipation.That coupled with the outburst of Annie snapping back at her dad, made Earl nothing short of happy. 'Annie finally stepped up to her dad, and he couldn't do shit, now that she's down her best and put a bet of her own, I'll make sure to win this damn thing for sure!!!' thought Earl as his grip on the treasure list tightened."THE SECOND GAME, TREASURE HUNT, IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!!!" yelled Mr Stevens, this jolted everyone into a starting pose.Some taking their marks like professional Olympic sprinters, Earl included, while others taking character specific stances.Such as Jake, who just leaned fo
Earl stood afar, seeing the treasure he was looking for right in front of him, "alright, just have to rush over there and grab it!!" said Earl.He then proceeded to hype himself up and limber up slightly as he prepared for the next action.As he planted his feet firmly, he immediately dashed out towards, the fountain, however, he noticed his body weight reduce, and time slow."third eye" said Earl as he swiftly shifted his face to the left, avoiding a sharp crystal shard flying past his face.'what the?!!!' thought Earl as he stepped backwards, before locking eyes with a face he recognised, bit hadn't seen all too often.'that's the girl that always follows crystal!!' thought Earl as he uttered "master's call", protruding his sword out of his left hand."I'll be taking that!!" said Suzuki with a stern expression as she locked eyes with the item atop the fountain.While she shifted her gaze up at the hazel eye of the beholder, Earl had unconsciously looked up at it as well.Using this
Earl stood in shock as he stared down the monster inches away from his face.'Damn it!!!' thought Earl as his movements seemed to grow even more sluggish.[Effects of poison has intensified][Speed will be reduced by 70%][You must receive medical treatment in the next 24 hours]The system messages he saw, had only made matters worse.The snarling noise of the wolf-lizard hybrid echoed through Earl's ears as he cursed at the girl he carried.'You just had to poison me huh?!!!' thought Earl as he managed to take a step back.Immediately after, the beast turned around using it's massive scaly tail and slammed Earl in the chest, sending him flying out at a tree.His body turned in the air, as he couldn't even prepare himself for impact, he could only manage to grit his teeth as his body slammed into the tree.Immediately shattering it, before slamming into another tree behind it, and flinging off to the side, leaving a huge indent on the tree, letting it fall over and crash into the floo
Earl and Suzuki sat silent in the cave, their backs faced one another, as each faced a different directions with different things on their minds.The cave in which they sat in was the same one Earl had spotted earlier, and despite its small entrance, it had a spacious inside, which was light up by a huge opening in the roof.After pitching the idea to the crying Suzuki, she threw a tantrum, and the two ended up arguing for about an hour, before Earl awkwardly carried Suzuki on his back into the cave.After dropping her, they argued for another 10 minutes, which resulted in their current positions.'The atmosphere's awkward now, I should say something' thought Earl. 'My leg seriously hurts, how much longer till this dumb exam is over?' thought Suzuki.Both still sat silent in the cave, till Earl got up from his seated position and turned over to the cave's entrance.Suzuki, who sat idly before, heard his footsteps and turned over, "Where are you going?" she asked."I'm going to go find
