Short Story: Adventures on the Orlack Islands

Chapter 1: Apparently Orlack
I, Max, one day, got sent to one strange place... Where animals never stop looking for prey, trying to get any food for it is all very scarce. So my adventure begins here. I wake up on a strange island. No,wait island complex. The sun was always hot and the air was always humid. I didn't recognize this place as anywhere I had ever been. I got up and took a breathe of the air it was salty and damp. The trees were at least a hundred feet tall. I saw another scrawny figure who seemed to be about as lost as I was, though he would later become a great friend that I haven't seen since. I cautiosly oproched him and said "Hello."

"Hi," he said nervously.

"Do you have any clue where we are?"

"No," he said again quite nervously

"Why are we here?

"I don't know," I said softly

"Well that can't be good, I'm Codaz,well Codaz Repooh Dnob that, is but just call me Codaz," He said proudly and triumphantly

"Oh well I'm Max but just call me Max" I said secretly wanting to sound as proud and triumphant as he was. So, I tried to impress him. "Oh, and I'm a Maquintiporian."

"NO! way they are all dead I wish you were, I'm just an extremely high trained guard of the tomb of the old king Ventoral who ruled a once very high respected region called Orlack."

"Yeah? Well look at this!" It was then I realized my powers were kuput. I tried to make a simple star sheild, but it wouldn't come. None of it did.

"Ha! Maquintiporian, sure. You can't even make a few sparks, amateur!" He said, laughing. I was angry at this, but there was nothing I could do now. "Well, if you think that's magic, watch this!" He attempted to shoot a fireball, but only a burst of smoke came out. "What!?! I was an elite guard of the tomb!!! I was best in my class! So now what???"

"It appears that we are both at a loss of magic, my friend. But I can show you this." I replied, pulling a Sonix grenade out.

"And what's that? A rock?" Codaz said.

"I advise you to cover your ears," I said, chuckling. I wrote the detenation code on it and covered my ears. Nothing happened.

"Nice rock," Codaz mocked. "If you want to see something of real value, look at my registration!" He pulled out a card that read blank. Codaz simply gaped. I decided then the mesmer was powerful enough due to the fact that it needed only the tiniest increment of magic to work sufficiently. "Look into my eyes!" I told him. Codaz looked, then was trapped. The mesmer, however weak, was still enough to keep Codaz in check. "W-What? But yooou aren't... I m-mean... guh, look?"
