Dragon Star
Journal 2
Chapter 1: The Trip

There was a large chill in the air as Akko lead me outside. I was very confused as to what we were going to do. Akko and I seemed to be total opposites. Then, how did we get along so well?

That was a question to be answered later on. For the time being, I had to be focused on what my brother had to show me.

“Brother,” I asked as we walked through a pile of snow where a frozen door stood. “Where are we going?”

Akko didn't answer me. He merely took out a silver star with a blue gem in the middle. It glowed a silver shining light as the frozen door opened. Akko and I were mysteriously pulled in as I tried to grab hold of my Nodachi to keep myself balanced within the tunnel. As I reached for the spot where it would normally be, a rock clunked on my head as I fell below the wind and smashed on the ground. I quickly became unconscious and everything became blank from that point on.

Many minutes later, I woke up with my head all bloody but I could feel it healing. I had no idea where I was, however. As I rose to my feet, I stumbled and crashed into a wall. I tried to regain my senses but, my vision was too impaired to keep focus. I fell to one knee as I saw Akko was also on the ground.

'What the hell is going on here? Where am I?' I thought to myself as my head started spinning. I hacked up some blood as someone stepped in front of me. “Akko? Is that you?”

“Yes,” It didn't sound like Akko, but I just needed help anyway. So, I played along. “It is I, Wave Star.”

“Well, where are we?” I asked as he led me towards a chair. I could sense where we were going. He sat me down in that chair.

“Why, we're in the Tomb of the Umegairu. You've never been here?” The person asked me.

I regained my vision as my mind became clear. I could see who I was talking to and just like I thought before, he wasn't Akko.

“Hello!” He said as I tried to get out of my chair and scamper away. “Where do you think you're going?” The man appeared behind and kicked me back into the chair.

“Who are you?” I asked as black tendrils came out of the ground and strapped me to the chair.

“The name's Orion,” He introduced himself to me. “And you, sir, have something that I need.”

I looked at Orion and saw that his features were corrupted, yet not evil. He had black colored hair with a purple tint to that shined as he paced around me. His hair was unusually spiky as were the sharpness of his teeth. As he stopped pacing and stared at me, his eyes were black and they looked strained. He made himself look insane but I'm guessing that's what Villains are supposed to be...Insane and drunk with power, which causes even more insanity within them.

“And what would you need from me?” I asked as I spat at his face. Somehow, he caught the spit in his hand as it froze, resting upon his palm. The corruption within his body alone was enough to melt my saliva! This man was not one to be toyed with.

“How could you do that?!” I asked, already knowing the answer.

“If you must know,” Orion said as he held out his hand. A miniature storm appeared within his hands. “I'm Storm Star and I need all the power I can get. So, hand it over!”
