Trials of the Oracle

Sylar, the old turtle, and I went into the cave. All 3 of us seem to want to locate the Oracle. Sylar…something about him didn’t seem right. I just thought it was just me being paranoid. The old turtle…something about him seems t draw my concern. Why did he seek the Oracle. We came to a fork in the road…or in this case, a fork in the cave. Pyron: “Hmm…which way do we go? Left or right?” Sylar: “Gaaa! I’m going right! *So he goes right, and comes out the left side* Wha…what just happened? Grrr….I’ll go left. *So he does, and comes out the right side* Again?!” Pyron: “Well, this is a fine puzzle.” Turtle: “Well, to move forward, one must see the path before they’re eyes.” I didn’t understand what the turtle meant, but I looked left and right. But in the middle I noticed the wall looked a little funny. I walked over to it. Sylar: “What are you doing?” I place my paw on the wall and it went through. Pyron: “Hm? This wall’s a fake?” Sylar: “Good. I’m going through.” He ran pass me into the hidden passage. Pyron: “Grrr…” Turtle: “Nevermind him. Our goal is still the same.” So we went through it too.

As we walked for a short while we came to a section where the cave looked unstable. Turtle: “We must be careful. This part of the cave doesn’t seem sturdy.” I had to agree with the old timer on that. Sylar: “Gaaa!!! Where are you Oracle!!!” That blasted Sylar yelled so loud he started a cave in. Pyron: “We gotta get out of here!” As we were about to go…Turtle: ‘Hellp!” I saw the old turtle was caught between 2 rocks. Pyron: “We gotta help him!” Sylar: “Help him if you want. I got that Oracle to find.” He runs off. Pyron: “Son of a…hang on old timer.” I was able to pry the 2 rocks off of him and carried him to safety before the corridor collapsed. Turtle: “You know…I think I’ll take that offer for a ride.” Pyron: “Ok old man.” He got on my back and I went on.

We found that no good Sylar in a cave with lots of crystals. Sylar: “So…what kept you. Thought you both would be reptilian soup.” Pyron: “Why you-” Turtle:” Hey, what’s going on over there?” A few crystals started to move around and form 2 mini sized golems. Sylar: “You gotta be kidding me. I’ll take them down!” So he went in, drawing his sword, and try to take down a golem, but all he did was get knocked back. I try firing fireballs at then but it did no good. Pyron: “How are we suppose to take these things down? *I noticed the old turtle was off my back and just sitting down* Uh, old timer, you do know there are enemies here.” Turtle: “I do, but they only attack in self defense.” Pyron: “Self defense? *I took notice that when Sylar attacked the golems never attacked back, rather they knocked him back and never attack first. So I just stood there and a golem came at me. When it reached me, it stopped and just stood there. A few seconds later it fell apart* Sylar, stop attacking!” Sylar: “What for?! I’m taking it down!” The golem then just shattered. Pyron: “Sylar destroyed it?” Turtle: “Not quite. He pretty much failed.” Sylar and Pyron: “Huh?” Sylar: “What do you mean I failed?” Turtle: “You don’t see it do you? The Oracle was testing you two.” Pyron: “Testing us? All this was a test?” Sylar: “Wait a minute, you said the two of us, but didn’t you come here for the Oracle too?” Turtle: “No. That’s because…I am the Oracle.” The turtle rised up into the air and there was a burst of light. We covered our eyes, and when the light dimmed down, we saw a white dragon. Pyron: “Your…the Oracle?” Oracle: “Yes. Many like you have tried to find me. A few succeeded while others failed.” I couldn’t believe it.

Sylar: “At long last, I found you. Now I shall have what I seek.” Pyron: “What?” Sylar: “I came here to find the Oracle for one reason: to steal her powers.” Pyron: “What?! Steal her powers?!” Oracle: “You do know you’ll fail Sylar. Even Laiken aw your failure.” Pyron: “Wait, you mean he’s…” Sylar: “A slayer? Yes. Well, ex slayer. And I’ll start by taking your powers lizard boy!” He went for my neck. I started to feel my powers being drained. Pyron: “Gaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Get off of me!” I tried to get him off but he was moving to quick for me to get a hand on. I decided to run into a wall. I was able to get Sylar off of me. Sylar: “I’ll finish you off in a bit. First things first…” He went straight for the Oracle, but was stopped short. Oracle: “You honestly think you would win. Tee hee. As I said, you…failed.” Using her power she sent him flying out of her cave. I was able to get up…but barely. Pyron: “Gah…remind me not to get on your bad side…” I then collapsed. Oracle: “Rest up young one. You had quite an ordeal.” So I did.

Sylar landed in what was a dilapidated swamp. Sylar: “Grrr…that Pyron will pay…but, least I manage to get his power…” A black ball of shadow energy was in the palm of his hand. He then disappeared into the swamp…
