DISCLAIMER: Not my territories, but I made my own character personalities for this. Also, the images are tekteks, and I didn’t write any songs I include. Honestly I don’t think there is much of a problem knowing what is mine and what isn’t, so I’m not trying to steal anything, just adapt something into a somewhat new story.
Alrighty, well. This is my first fan fic I’m posting on this site, but I’ve done some before. I began to write the story when I was a sophomore (now I’m a senior) actually, and now I’ve decided to pick it up again. I have read all the books and I promise you that it will all work out in accordance to everything. Hopefully I will be able to explain some things that never were explained in the book, and keep Pendragon alive now that the series is over.
That being said, a little about the story. The prologue introduces how everything starts (obviously) and takes place across two territories. I’ll use the stars anytime there is a switch between territories, but outside of the Prologue. I have specific ideas for the beginning of the series and generally know where I’m going with it, so don’t worry. You’ll meet three travelers by the end of the Prologue, and hopefully I’ll be able to surprise you. I’ve already worked on parts of the first story, and fooled one of my friends who will help me proof read this, so that’s a good sign. And I’m somewhat merciless about killing people off. Not in a bad way, but I can almost guarantee there will be at least one death in each “book”. I’ve given away too much already.
Only a few more notes, you’ll notice that I have a song link posted at the beginning of this section. I’ll try to do that to help set the mood for the chapter, so listen to it if you want, but it’s not necessary. This page will probably also have a character library added in where I have the tekteks of each character Also, please write reviews, good or bad. Just don’t make them too mean, just give me advice. If no one replies I’ll end up not writing it, and if a bunch of people do, it will only encourage me to write more.
Hobey ho, let’s go!

PROLOGUE: The Maiden Voyage (Part 1)

A boy, with long, dark brown hair sped back to his current habitat, Grallion, on his skimmer. The skimmer looked like a speedboat, aside from the two side bars that went underwater, and used that water to propel the skimmer. As he neared the floating city, he slowed, and parked his skimmer at the dock. He took off the air globe, a device that let him breathe underwater, and dropped it onto the skimmer's seat. When it landed, the air globe returned to its normal form, a globe.
"You all done Kaimu?" one of the other aquaneers asked.
"Yeah, my shifts done. What'd need?" Ty Kaimu replied, with a genuinely concerned look on his face. He couldn't remember the guy's name, but he looked familiar. The guy must have been there when he was introduced a day ago. If the guy needed help with something, Kaimu would learn it soon enough.
"Nothin," the other guy replied. "Don't be so serious! I was just being friendly! So how do you like Grallion?"
"It's cool," Kaimu replied unenthusiastically. He had been there for only a day, and didn't expect to be there long. "Just hope I don't have to move again tomorrow!" Kaimu laughed. Despite the laugh, he knew that it was a possibility. His father's job had him moving from place to place. Friends, the city habitats... all that changed in an instant for him. The only constant was his training as an aquaneer. He was good at it and enjoyed it too... but he still wished for normal friends.
"Yeah," the other guy laughed. "Take it easy!" The other aquaneer said, and turned to go back to work. Kaimu turned to leave, with a look of sadness and longing on his face.
********************************************
{Second Earth}
Stacha Smith. The actress. The model. The fashion designer. The celebrity. Stacha walked into the press conference room, wearing an expensive purple, glittering dress.
"Now, let's welcome Stacha Smith, who recently celebrated her 32nd birthday this past week."
Stacha walked up to a podium, saying "Hello! Thank you, thank you everyone!" She was then bombarded with questions.
"Can you tell us anything about your new movie?" "Are you the new spokesperson for Old Al's Oil Company?" "Any news on your new clothing line?" "How do you juggle being an actress and a mother?"
"Yes, I will be the new spokesperson," Stacha replied. "And no, I cannot say anything about my new movie, and no news on the clothing line. But I can say that it is tough being a mother and actress, but I make my daughter my number one priority. She always comes with me to all the movie sets, so that she can always be near me..."
------<screen turns black>--------
"That's a load of crap," Delilah Smith said, turning off her mother's interview. "She apparently doesn't hear me when I say that I want to stay somewhere and be normal..."
********************************************
{Cloral}
Kaimu walked down the street, on his way to Grollo's, to get some sCENSOREDs. He felt the familiar feel of the plastic-like floor underneath his feet, thinking. He thought way too much.
Wish my dad would stay in one place for a while, so we didn't have to move... Kaimu opened the door to Grollo's and heard other people talking, and laughing, and having a great time. He sat at the bar though, alone, and ordered a sCENSORED. He got a pint sized cup, filled with golden brown liquid. He drank it all in one shot. At first it tasted horrible, then, it left an amazing after taste; the reason why people drank it. He knew no one there, so Kaimu walked out after taking a quick look around, and headed to his house.
He walked down the street, seeing some kids playing, and parents sitting on lounge chairs. A boomerang like object flew at him, he caught it, and then threw it back to the young kids playing with it. He smiled at them and waved; they waved back. But when they couldn't see him anymore he frowned again. He had no childhood memories of playing outside with other kids, just being shipped around from habitat to habitat. Kaimu opened the door to his house, and looked inside. Just as he remembered it. His suitcase was still there, mostly packed, aside from a couple sets of clothes. He took out a rubber like sphere, and started tossing it to himself off the plastic wall. He then got lost in his own thoughts...
********************************************
{Second Earth}
"Happy 40th!" Delilah said, as Stacha walked into the living room of her expensive mansion, located in LA. "Oh wait, I forgot, it's your 32nd again."
"Don't have an attitude with me young lady," Stacha scolded her daughter, not looking up.
"Oh, and I hear you're supporting Al's Oil now, huh?" Delilah asked.
"Yes, they've endorsed the movie I'm going to be in," Stacha asked.
"But you said yesterday that you hated those people!" Delilah almost yelled.
"Yes, but I can't do anything about that," Stacha replied, putting down her purse. "And anyways, what does it matter, if it makes money?"
"Don't you have any integrity?!? You should stand up for what you believe in. I can't believe you're my mother!"
"Do you have to be so critical of everything I do? I took you in and cared for you, I'm making money to pay for the house you live in and the clothes you buy, which are getting a bit old by the way..."
"I bought them two weeks ago! You know, I be you only took me in cause it would look good for you! All the famous people are doing it today!" Delilah stormed off toward her room, Stacha following.
"That is a lie!" Stacha said, for the first time very angrily.
"I hate you, you don't even listen to me, you won't even let me go to normal school!"
"You deserve the best, so I got you private tutors!"
"But maybe I want to go to NORMAL school like a NORMAL kid!"
"But you don't have to!"
"I WANT TO! YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME! I HATE YOU AND IM NEVER TALKING TO YOU AGAIN!" Delilah slammed the bedroom door in her mother's face.
"You'll thank me one day," Stacha whispered.
********************************************
{Cloral}
Ever since I was a young boy it was like this. Always moving. My mother died when I was only 3, and my dad always has his business. He isn't even my father. He adopted me. At least I got good training. He always set me up to be an aquaneer, teaching me how to use the equipment and stuff. Not like I had much choice though, I had nothing else to do. No one else to talk to. No friends.
Kaimu walked out of his house, which, of course, he knew was temporary, and went outside. "Might as well go back to work," he said, and set off. He walked down the road, his shadow next to him. It was almost sunset, and most people were done working for the day. He looked, and saw other people heading home, to go rest and then later go to bed. He, though there were people passing him, was alone on this road. When he got to work, he saw the same guy that was there before, leaving.
“You're back again?" the guy asked, as Kaimu put on an air globe and hopped on a skimmer.
"Yeah," Kaimu replied shortly. He was not in the mood to talk, and didn't feel like putting on a smile. Thinking about it, he probably was being mean, but if he couldn't vent any other way, then what else could he do?
"You work too much," the guy commented.
"What else am I supposed to do?" Kaimu asked, frowning. The other guy couldn't see his face though, and before the guy answered, Kaimu sped away.
********************************************
{Second Earth}
Delilah got up the next morning, having not heard from her mother since the fight.
She had sat in bed till 11:00 for two reasons:
____________________1. Being that she didn't want to see her mother
____________________2. Being that even though she couldn't sleep late no matter how hard she tried, most normal kids slept late.
For some reason she was usually awake by 7:00, and couldn't get back to sleep. But finally, Delilah decided to get up, and see what was going on. Hopefully she was gone by now, she would never be late for work. She looked around the rest of the house for her, and saw a note.
Delilah I hope you are not too mad at me, but I had to leave early. I'm going to be at Studio 2342 for filming, when you get up, stop by. Love, Stacha, your mom
Delilah paused for a second, and then scoffed. "Yeah, so sorry," she muttered. "Well, she'll be sorry when I run away." She proceeded upstairs and started packing her most prized belongings, and then went down to get some food. She didn't expect her mom to be home for some time, she was usually done with work after sunset.
********************************************
{Cloral}
Kaimu sped towards the open ocean, not really sure where he was going. If someone had been watching him though, they would probably think he was crazy. He put the brake on hard, and spun left, doing a 360, and then sped off again. "Awesome!" he yelled, and then turned to head back to Grallion. It was getting closer to sunset, and he didn't have anything to do out there, even though he normally spent more time on the ocean alone. The only reason he did that, though, was because it was his one chance to be truly happy, not having responsibility and just having fun. Most importantly there was no one there to put him down. But as he was headed back (he was still a far way out, too far to see), he saw that he was being chased by a pack of sharks. He turned and looked them, and they started to surround him. So Kaimu sped up, and obligingly, the sharks sped up too. He put it on cruise for a second, and went to get the water sled, which was just a "vehicle" that you grab onto with both hands, and when you pull the trigger, it propels you forward underwater. And he also picked up the spear gun lying next to it, in case the sharks were actually smart. He talked to himself, "Now let's get out of this tum-tigger."
********************************************
{Second Earth}
Stacha was being driven to her studio to start filming for the day, still worried about her daughter and her angry outburst yesterday. "I just wish she wouldn't be mad at me all the time, I mean, I do my best to take care of her, I make sure she gets everything..." The poor driver of the cart had to listen to her story the whole trip. As they reached the studio, Stacha got out and tipped the cabbie well.
"Thanks lady!" he said, in a tone that struck Stacha as odd for a cab driver to have. It sounded like he was a little kid getting a bag of candy on Halloween. "Just a tip, between you and me. Look in the wardrobe area downstairs, there's something you'll like." He winked, and drove away. She shrugged, maybe this guy was onto something. Maybe there was some jewelry she would like. She was, after all, a movie star, the cabbie probably noticed who she was and wanted to be nice. She would head down there later.
********************************************
{Cloral}
Kaimu strapped the spear gun to his back, and taped the throttle on the skimmer. Going over to one side, he put on the air globe, and got ready to jump in. He gripped his water sled tightly, and despite the danger of jumping into shark infested waters, he smiled. This was an adventure he wanted to go on. Something new. Something fun. And so he jumped into the water, missing the nearest shark. As soon as the water sled was submerged it sped off at full speed, dragging Kaimu for the ride. Fortunately he was used the water sled to he could handle it at this speed. Unfortunately, he looked behind himself. The sharks had followed him. That intrigued him more than freaked him out. What freaked him out were the yellow eyes. Kaimu sped around the sea floor, close to obstacles, to shake off the sharks, but they were not fooled. It continued on for a minute until Kaimu came upon a rock structure and he noticed that if he turned on his side, then he could make it through to where the sharks would not follow. If he judged it wrong though, well, he would take off both his arms. Or at least break them.
What's the worst that could happen? He sped towards the crack in the rocks, and confirmed that it would be too small for the sharks to follow. Good planning by whoever made this. But that was silly to think, nobody could have made a rock. He turned on his side and closed his eyes. A second later he opened them, and saw that he was in a beautiful cavern. Light came in from above, and shone on the pool of water in there. It was stunning. Brilliant blues and greens danced on the walls from the reflections, and fruit grew on the sides of the rocks. He swam over to a bunch of what looked like bananas on the wall, and plucked one. He peeled the yellow peel to reveal what looked like a banana, except that it was red, gummy, and there were multicolored seeds on the outside. Next to these, he noticed a note on the wall. It read:
If you are reading this note, then it is likely that a time of critical importance has come to your territory, and it may had been caused by an outside force. If you need help, then call a name into the mouth, and find the one who wears this ring. They will come back to help you and your territory restore its natural balance. If there is no trouble, then DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS, AS IT IS DANGEROUS. Cloral, Denduron, Eelong, First Earth, Ibara, Quillian, Second Earth, Third Earth, Veelox, Zadaa.
Next to it hung a ring. It looked interesting; there were 10 designs around the edge, and it just seemed cool to Kaimu. Kaimu had no idea what this note meant at all. But he felt as if it were important somehow. He just had this feeling...He looked over the list again, and despite the warning that it was dangerous, called out a name the stuck out to him on the list.
"Second Earth." Kaimu looked up as he heard soft, musical notes, and the top of the cave he was in turned blue.
“Hobey..."
