Worlds Apart: The Chosen of the Prognosticus

by GMBlackjack

[Chapter 2] Of Hiding Hearts and Jabbing Voids

Under a Void significantly larger than in the previous worlds, an island floated in the air, cascading waterfalls down to a beautiful ocean below. The island had stark mountains and lush forests, giving it a wild feel. Were it not for the stone temple near the middle of the island, the image would have been complete.

This temple was old, so old most of the pillars had fallen apart and all the stone faces had been worn away. If there had once been inscriptions upon them in the past, there was nothing now. Overall, the temple was circular, with a ring of pillars along the outside, inside of which was an elevated circle of earth. Several other circles were stacked upon this one, given the temple a pyramid-like shape. Old, worn stairs led up to the top of the temple. Here, the prize of the structure was supposed to sit.

Supposed to. Currently, the central pedestal was empty, devoid of its prize.

Behind this central pedestal, an orange door manifested, depositing the heroes into a new world.

Another intro description, another opportunity! Go on, guess what the world is! We'll see if you're right next week.

Angel Island of Mobius.

Princess of arcane relationships; blind to the sky but one with the earth; flower of hopeful love; ruler to clever beasts but servant of one; vixen of fiery shadow; analytical as a machine but seeking of more—these are the heroic traits, note them well, but never forget the quiet spark tying them together.

Hmm. A lot to consider here, and there's no guarantee that the traits are listed in order of appearance. We'll see how it develops.

Also, impressive that Toph could detect an outfit through tremorsense. I didn't think humans conducted vibration as well as stone.

In any case, looking forward to seeing the magical behavior of wherever our brave heroes have ended up. And, you know, the story in general, but I'm a sucker for arcane physics.

I gather next hero is Amy Rose from sonic, flower of hopeful love, considering she hopefully tries to get sonic XD.

Goddammit, Knuckles, you lost the Master Emerald again?! You're the worst sacred guardian ever!

Wait, if it's lost why is the island still flying?

[Spellflame]

Ohh it’s sonic

good question, I only see two possibilities:

1:is that the Master Emerald has been taken recently so it must be around the island so its energy is still present.as with the sky sanctuary where the master emerald was present in the fight with mecha sonic

2:Knuckles moved her elsewhere. but personally that would surprise me.

Yeah, Knuckles isn't smart enough to do that.

[kuroi-me]

we agree

[Boltstrike58]

I would guess that it's Angel Island, but something tells me it's not that.

Everyone's guessing Sonic, but that's way to obvious. Clearly this is the world of the obscure and long unreleased Wii game, eventually released on Wii U and 3DS (Wii U version actually comes with the Wii version, fun fact) Rodea the Sky Solider. Floating islands, ancient temples... yep, totally nailed it. (I've actually barely played Rodea so here's the part where someone tells me it doesn't fit at all for 'x' reasons)

Everyone else is guessing Sonic, so I'll guess the floating city of Zeal from Chrono Trigger.
