//------------------------------// // Going on Holiday // Story: The Adventure of Lorraine and Hank // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// It was a normal day for Lorraine the gladiator. She was wearing silver armour that covered her shoulders and torso over the top of a sapphire blue skivvy, the centre of the armour was raised into what apeared to be a round mirror-like circle. on her hands were thich leather guantlets with metal guards going from the back of the hand to the wrist. She had on a pair of black slacks with a purple stripe down the sides and shoes that resembled heavy brown steel capped boots. strapped to her back was a round white sheild with a ring of gold at its centre and attached to that was a green bag and a large orange sword with a blade that resembled flames and a round sapphire imbedded in the gold hilt. Her helmet looked heavy and covered her entire head and neck, save for her face. it had a black 'V' shape spines as a decoration on the front. Sunset orange hair could be seen poking out from under the helmet. Her fair skin and blue eyes were a stark contrast to the heavy armour that she was wearing. She looked around the grass covered plain near her old stomping grounds, the village of Angel falls and sighed. It had been six months since she defeated Corvus. Six months since she'd sacrificed her longevity, her friends and her home to save the world from the fallen angel. She had slyaed beasts, collected items and helped the world of the protectrate. She was getting tired of it. She had spent the last week going through a grotto near Slurry Quay and defeating the bos, some evil wizard she didn't bother to remeber the name of over and over in order to become stronger. She was the strongest Gladitar on the planet, her skills unrivalled. There wasn't much to challenge her anymore. Sure she loved beating up anything that dared attack her but really it was nothing new. She decided it was time for a change. She pulled out Sterling's whistle and blew... -------------------- It was mere mintues later that she found herself in The Realm of The Almighty as the goddess Celestria stared at her in surprise after she'd asked the goddess for something. "A vacation from the Protectrate?" The goddess asked. "Are you sure?" She nodded, she was too embarassed to speak infront of her again. "This world is safe from evil thanks to you my young Celestrian. You have truly earned respite from your duties in protecting the mortal realm" The goddess stated as she waved her hand, which caused a golden protal of light to appear. "Step through this and you will find a new world and a new adventure" Celestria said. Lorraine nodded and stepped through. She found herslef falling through a golden abyss as power and magic ran wild around her. She landed with enough force to knock herself out cold. --------------------------- What happened? where am I? Her memory was fuzzy as she sat on the ground for a few minutes to regain her senes, something felt...off. She could remember everything about her life as a Celestrain but amung those memories were bits and pieces of knowledge that shouldn't have been there, imahes of strange horses, blue boxes and all manner of things she couldn't comprehend. She looked around and spotted an inn. She decided it would best to go in and poosibly recruit an ally or to to find out where she ended up. She had a feeling this was going to be one intersting vacation.
