• After they got sucked up in the whirl pool, manny and Emily washed up on a beach, as they were unconscious, a small fox saw them and quickly ran toward manny. The fox started to sniff manny then started to wake him up. The fox began to say to manny “hey, wake up.” Manny’s response was just a faint moan. The fox looked a little annoyed by his response, the fox began to talk again “Hey wake up you lazy Bum!” then the fox slapped manny across the face, and he suddenly woke up and gave the fox the same response he gives his teacher “TRUE! FALSE! ALL OF THE ABOVE!” the fox gave a smile and then it said “good I’m glad you’re alive, but you might want to check your friend.” Manny suddenly looked at Emily and tried to wake her up “Emily, wake up! Come on wake…… AHHHHHHH TALKING FOX!!!” Emily woke up startled by Manny’s shouting. The fox walked up to manny and said “good you’re not deaf, a little slow on your surroundings, but your ok.” Manny and Emily rubbed their eyes to see if they were hallucinating, but the fox was still there, then Emily said to the fox “well thank you for your help, but do you know where we are?” the fox tilted his head then turned to the horizon on the water “look at the sun, that will answer your question” the fox said as manny and emily turned their heads to look at the horizon and saw the sun, but the strange thing about the sun was that it was an emerald color. Manny soon said said to Emily “Emily, I don’t think were in Kansas anymore” Emily nodded to what Manny said, then the fox started to walk and said to them “well come on, you guys don’t want to be here when the patrol comes.” Manny and Emily got up and started to follow the fox, then Emily asked the fox “um Mr. Fox, what patrol are you talking about?” the fox looked back at her and replied “first of all, my name is Emil, second of all, the patrol makes sure nobody tries to enter or leave the town” Manny soon decide to some into the conversation, and then he added “umm what town?” soon they all approached a large town on the side of a huge tree Manny and Emily both stared up at the town and then emily said “wow… that’s one strong tree” manny and Emily were paused at the magnificence of the tree, Emil looked back and saw 2 sets of walking armor the armors were connected to their parts by a shadow aura “uh oh! Guys the patrol!” the two children turned around saw the armor walking, unfortunately, the patrol also saw them, and one of the patrol members shouted “INTRUDERS! SEISE THEM!” The patrol approached them, Emil quickly turned to Manny and asked him “Hey, have you ever used a sword before?” Manny quickly turned to Emil and replied “yeah, a few times with my friends for fun” Emil soon began to float in mid-air and said “that’s good enough for me” and with that word he transformed into a sword and flew into manny’s hands, and a ring appeared on manny’s wrist, manny Got started said “Whoa! What the?!?!?” manny accidentally dropped the sword, but when the sword touched the floor, it Reappeared in his hands. A voice rang from the sword “don’t worry, as long as I’m lending you my power, you can fight them” Manny soon understood what was happening, and ran toward the patrol and attacked, he began slashing at the patrol guards, they fought back, but even tough he was a beginner, he fought like a master, and he was able to defeat the two patrol guards. After they were defeated, they began to evaporate into a strange, green, shimmering dust, and then it began to fly into the sword manny got started and said “Whoa, what just happened?” Emil suddenly changed back into his fox form and began to explain what happened “that stuff, it is called emerald essence, it is what powers spirits on this world, but the strange thing is, why those guards were turned into it?” Emily ran up to Manny and Emil and said “Sorry to bust in on your lecture, but how do we get in the town?” Manny and Emil both paused and began to think, but something caught Manny’s eye, there was a strange card where the fallen guards were. Manny quickly went to pick it up he began to read the writing on the card –MELINIA TOWN PATROL GUARD ACSESS CARD- Manny quickly turned to Emily and Emil and said “I think I just found our way in” Manny then showed them the card and they came running toward him and they both read the card. The Trio soon began to walk up to the town gate, there were two guards there they both looked exactly like the patrol guards except they had faces, one of them spoke up and said “please present identification.” Manny reached into his pocket and pulled out the access card, the guard pulled it out of his hand, looked at the identification code, then he handed it back to Manny and said to the trio “your identification is valid, you may enter” the two guards pulled the levers on the side of the doors, thus opening them. The guards returned to their first position and they both said in unison “Enjoy your Visit to Melinia Town.” The trio went thru the gates, and then suddenly the doors behind them closed shut, ensuring that no one else came in, or came out.
