The Omega Timeline

Chapter twenty two: Terran high investigation.

As the Petersons and Sylvevee’s group wandered, a loud roar suddenly rang through the air. The sound seemed to be coming from the black obelisk. “What was that?” Drake muttered. They saw Sheeri the wyvern, flying from the obelisk in the distance. “What do you think happened?” Sylveevee asked. “Maybe there was nothing at the Obelisk and she flew away.” Jay said. “Maybe she changed her mind about going to the Obelisk.” Skyocean said. “Maybe it decided to come back and eat us.” Aragorn said darkly. Arianna gave her husband a stern glare.

Aragorn sighed and turned to Queen Sylveevee. “So where do you think we should go now…Princess Purple?” He asked. Sylveevee scowled at him. “Maybe that building?” Arianna asked pointing toward a large building, that was a school. “Looks kind of like a school, although none of the schools I’ve seen are as large as that.” Jack said. “That’s because we’ve only seen one school.” Jay said. Jack scoffed. “DON’T act like you’re smarter than me.” Jack said. Jay turned and looked at Moonhigh and Sunhigh and made a face at Jack’s back. Moonhigh and Sunhigh giggled. “I guess that’s settled then, we’re going to that school.” Drake said.

They walked until they came to the school. A sign said that it was “Terran High School”. It was a giant white building surrounded by a massive courtyard. They walked inside and were greeted with the sight of rows of metal lockers and doors that led into class rooms. “I say we split up to cover more ground in the school and then meet back up in this hall.” Sylveevee said. Aragorn nodded. “Got it.” The two groups split up, each going their own way.

“I don’t see anything of importance.” Emma said, looking through the books on the wall. The Petersons were looking in the principal’s office. She read the titles silently to herself. Dodo tales, The Arks: Over heaven, Queen of Aberration, Protectors of Pandora, The Obelisk, Ultimus, Hope’s Cry and- “Wait what?” Emma slid out a book labeled “The Terrible demise of Tortuga”. Arianna trotted up to her. “What is it?” Her mother asked. “This book…is about Tortuga….and it’s…demise?” Emma said, confusion written all over her face. “But that can’t be right. We live in Tortuga.” Arianna said softly. “It’s probably just some fiction trash.” Aragorn muttered from the other side of the room, where he was digging through the Principal’s desk.

Emma put the book back on the shelf. “We didn’t find anything.” Jay and Jack said in union, walking into the room. They had been searching one of the nearby classrooms. “Only school supplies and weird mechanisms. By the way…what is this?” Jack asked, holding up a microscope. Emma took it from him, and studied it. “I have no idea.” She said. Arianna took it from her daughter and set it down on the table. “I don’t think there’s anything in here, Aragorn said walking up, his arms crossed. They walked out into the hall. Queen Sylveevee and her group were already there. “Did y’all find anything?” Arianna asked sweetly. “Probably not.” Aragorn muttered. “No. Did y’all find anything?” Skyocean said. “No. Just some weird words painted on the wall in the principal’s office.” Arianna said.

“Well I guess there’s not a lot of information in this building then.” Emma said. Everyone else nodded in agreement. “We’ll have to keep searching?” Sunhigh asked nervously. Sylveevee put a hand on his shoulder. “Yes.” She said. Moonhigh squeezed his hand reassuringly. “Okay, so where too next?” Drake asked. “Maybe the mayors’ mansion? I think we should visit all the important buildings in the city.” Sylveevee said. “As long as you don’t have a problem with that….Mister black.” Sylveevee raised her eyebrows at Aragorn. He gritted his teeth. “Fine. We can go to the mayors house.” He growled.

And so off they went to the mayors mansion…..
