Thank you much you two. The next chapter should be up tonight because I am really excited to write it. Don't get excited, because nothing huge happens, but the dialogue people have in the chapter is going to be so fun to type. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

Chapter 10: Solved Mysteries

It had been unbelievable that The Godly gopher had been as loud as it had been only about two hours earlier. By now, the ship almost seemed dead. Christopher and Lenyo had gone to their rooms to rest. ZBoy and Oscar had gone to one of their rooms to start planning an idea of what they would do once they reached Wild Thing Forest. Noviwan was at the back kitchen of the control room cleaning the dishes from the meal.

Twilight Wanderer cautiously walked across the clanking catwalk. She didn’t want to seem like she was doing something she shouldn’t. She walked down the spiral metal staircase. Without saying a word, she walked over to the set of doors that lead to the staircase that lead to the entrance foyer. She walked up to the doors, and placed her hand on the handle ready to pull it open.

“Where are you going?” Noviwan had noticed her. She cautiously turned around, still trying to act normal.
“Nowhere out of the ordinary. I’m just going to go down to the foyer to relax. It’s too loud up here.”
“But everyone is resting. The only noise in here is the water from the sink.”
“Um, well…” She thought. “The scrubbing of the pans hurts my ears. You know, I have sensitive ears.”
Noviwan stared at her for a moment before responding. “Well alright then, have fun relaxing.”

Twi let out a relaxed breath as she smiled. She turned around, pulled open the doors and went down into the foyer. She looked at all of the many doors that lead to storage. She didn’t know which one to go through. After doing eenie meenie miney moe, she knew which door she would go through. Before going in, Twi grabbed one of the hanging lanterns. She held it in front of her as she pushed open the chosen door.

The storage area was dark. She could barely see anything even with the light from the lantern. There were many boxes piled on top of one another everywhere, making the walking space tight and crammed. It was like a maze of boxes. Twi was more worried about being able to find her way out than being able to find the know it all.

The musty smell of old collections made being crammed in between boxes even more uncomfortable. Twi felt like she had been in there for quite a long time, making her nervous that she would get caught. Just as Twi was about to lose hope, turn around, and go back, she saw a small light a bit further down the box made hallway. In the light of the hanging lantern, she saw the shadow of what looked like a petite being. The being was tied up to a chair. It sat their laughing out loud.

Twi ran towards the light. She was so focused to get to it. She hadn’t even realized that she had sprained her ankle on a corner of a box. She saw it, and it saw her. It continued to laugh. It wasn’t laughing in frustration, but it just looked plain happy. It looked like a he, and he was definitely human. He was a petite little boy.

Twi moved a smaller box over in front of the tied up boy. She sat down on it, making her almost eye level with him.
“Um, hello,” Twi said. She wasn’t sure what kind of a response she would get back.
“Greetings best!” The boy said after he had finally stopped laughing.
“My name is Twilight Wanderer. Do you have a name?”
“Wanderer Twilight. Name my Harvest. Awesome?” He was very upbeat. He never stopped smiling.
“I don’t know what your harvest is though. Oh! Your name is Harvest! Yes, that is very awesome.”
Harvest nodded at her, still smiling.
“So is it true,” Twi asked, “that you know everything?”
“Know I yes everything.”
“Alright then.” It was a bit hard to get what he was saying. So many questions began to go through her head. “Do you mind if I ask you questions then?”
Harvest nodded at her.
“Where is my sister at?”
“Live sister shadow in.”
Twi took this in. It was like a puzzle. You had to unscramble everything that he was saying. Shadow lives in sister? Sister lives in shadow? She didn’t have all the time in the world though, so she continued on to the next question.
“Is she alive?”
“Alive sister.”
Relief shot through her. She thought up the next question.
“Am I,” she put her hand on her chest, “the descendent of Ignis, The Harvest God?”

Harvest stared down into her. His bright eyes shot into her. He didn’t blink, and neither did she. She felt awkward. The silence dragged on. All of a sudden, he blinked and shook his head. He looked at her calmly.
“Ignis descendent yes.”
Twi wanted to jump up and down, but she had only a few more things to ask, and she couldn’t waste any time. She thought of a question she found could give a lot of help.

“Is there anything else I should know?”
Harvest looked away. Twi could tell he was thinking himself. He looked up at her.
“Descendents know to.”
“Descendents know to what? What do they know to do?” She stood up. She wanted to shake him, but she didn’t want to hurt the petite little thing. She stepped back, regaining control over herself. “Thank you.”

Twi pulled out her knife from its case. She walked around to the back of Harvest’s chair. She sliced in front of her, and all of the tied rope simply fell to the ground around him. Harvest hopped up from his chair. He walked up to Twi and hugged her around the waist. Twi pat him on the head.

“What the helk do you think you’re doing!?” Twi’s eyes widened as she shot a glance up at Christopher.
Harvest began to laugh. He hopped onto his chair and then onto Christopher’s head. He shot off of Christopher’s head and bolted for it. He continued to laugh happily. Christopher ran after him yelling really unhappily. Twi put her knife into it’s holder, and ran after them. She almost tripped over a few times running through the dark. She could just barely see the back of Christopher. Luckily when she did drop a little far behind, she just followed the extremely loud and hysterical laughs of harvest.

After a while of running, Twi reached the foyer. She leaned over onto her knees catching her breathe. Christopher was standing near her pointing at Harvest. Harvest was standing by the double metal doors.
“Don’t even think about it!” Christopher screamed.
Harvest laughed extremely loud as he opened the double doors. Large and strong winds shot through the foyer. Twi ran over to the stairs and held on to the railing. She gasped as Harvest spit his tongue at Christopher, smiled and waved at Twi, and then jumped out of the ship.

Christopher let out an earsplitting yell.
“You!” he pointed at Twi. His eyes were giant and bloodshot. He grabbed her by the arm. Twi did whatever she could to break away, but she couldn’t. While crouching and keeping his balance he pulled her to the door. Hanging on the wall near the doors where parachutes. He grabbed one of them and forced it into her arms. He blocked her from getting away from the open door.
“You can’t do this!” Twi yelled.
“I warned you that if you pulled anything off, I kick you off. You made me lose one of the rarest things we had ever found.”
“What about ZBoy and Oscar? They’ll question my disappearance.”
“I’m sure they really won’t care.”
“I know they will! Now let me go back on!”
“That’s not happening. Just be happy I gave you the parachute.” With this final statement, he pushed her.

[Oscar]

Haha! The boy was Harvest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Oh Harvest...Let's see if he reads this.



And we won't care about Twi's disappearance? Sure we will! After we eat breakfast and watch some TV then we'll go looking for her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Charmy]

HA. I rolled on the floor when I read it was Harvest.

~UPDATE 8/14/11~
I've been constantly thinking about what to do with this sotry. I loved writing it, and I was really happy to see that some of you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, due to so many things changing on this site and people leaving, I feel awkward writing certain things, and I just don't feel the push to write much more. Is this officially the end of this fan fiction? Maybe. I guess what I'm basicly saying is that I'm putting this project officially on hold.

[Mizukithepanda]

Well, you could always just do a complete rewrite. You know, rework the story from scratch. Or you could write a new story. It's unfortunate, but fanfics are left unfinished all the time for various reasons. We understand.

[Oscar]

Kill off many members? :D The ones that have left, at least. It could work with your story, haha.

We won't ever know what happened to Twi. D:

[ZBoy]

I've actually been thinknig about writing a different fanfic. I realize what my problem was with this one: I took too long to write it.

And Oscar, I mentioned in The Bar once, if there is anything you were curious about, don't be afraid to ask. Although I wasn't able to write it all out, I had the entire story planned out.

[Twilight Wandere...]

Kill off many members? :D The ones that have left, at least. It could work with your story, haha.

We won't ever know what happened to Twi. D:

SHE DIED

No, not really. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)


I think perhaps you could at least type out the synopsis of what had happened? That way, we know what would've happened. Or, as Mizuki said, a rewrite.


I for one am completing a rewrite at the moment. I implemented a certain system into the book I'm writing, and I have to go back and rewrite the beginning because of it. =w= It's a pain, but it makes more sense that way sometimes.


Also, I personally like Oscar's idea of killing off characters, but I do that too often.

[ZBoy]

After putting this on hold last night, I actually began to think about what I hould do with it. I think I'm going to type out an outline today to refresh my memory of how I was going to write all of this. It'd be too hard to kill off a few people, so unfortunately, I would still have to include a lot of inactive people due to their importance to the story. I'll keep thinking about it.

[Totoro Spirit]

Aww, I was hoping there was more to read.

I understand the problems you're running into, though. I would like to say that, even if you don't write anymore on this, I really liked the story.

[Rebecca]

I find it slightly amusing that you're this far along and I still haven't been introduced.

Spoiler:
I mean, it's not like I'm the bad guy or anything. ;D
