Simone Chapter 7
"Jaxx"


Simone trotted down the path on Eden. As he went, he noticed 2 things. 1 was that the gates were closed, and 2, there was a soldier.

"DANG!" Simone thought. "Oh well, I'll just get get that soldier out if the way." He then went forward. "Hey soldier, get ready!" Simone spoke to the surprised soldier, unsheathing his sword as he said so. The soldier withdrew his sword, but Simone hit himm with the butt of the sword, knocking him out. Simone may look scrawny, but he was really very muscular. He then thought if Eden could jump the gate, and tried. sure enough, Eden cleared it. Happy to finally be over with the trek, Simone rented a nice comfortable stable for Eden. He then made his way to the inn, had some food, then payed for a room. He then went to it, layed down, and went to sleep. He woke up early in the morning, and did his morning excercises (he does some every morning and night, I just wont always say it), then yewned, and got ready to go down for some food, but heard a noise. Oh yeah! It reminded him of what the tab had said. He then got on his belly and looked under the bed. Sure enough, the level was broken. He stuck his hand in, and instantly stood up when the bed slowly parted, and the covering also parted to reveal a suprised man, and an even more suprised Simone.

"So you are Simone," the man said in a deep voice. "Call me Jaxx. Your parents said you would come. COME IN!" As he said this, he motioned to some stairs leading down. Simone just followed, mesmerized by the area. It was HUGE. "Well, since you aren't in the mood to talk, lets get down to business, and what your parents left you," Jazz said, fetching a piece of paper. "1st: This bag of your original diamond-hard throwing roses, enchanted to never run out. 2nd: The clone rune. Though at first hard to master, will be very useful. Jaxx has another surprise. Well, that is all." Jaxx then got 2 boxes, 1 with a rune crystal, and 1 empty. He then put his hand on Simones head, much to the dislike of simone, and said something strange. Then Simone felt the essence of SHER being transferred to the empty box, then materialized into a rune crystal. It then formed the body of a 1 foot tall man, with armor, and claws.

"SPEAK!" the armored dwarf spoke, as it hovered in the air.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU WERE A RUNE! MY RUNE! AND NO A PERSON!!!!" Simone said, speaking in a crazed rush.

"Simone, I was merely using the Hearing Ear Rune as transportation," spoke the rune. "I am Clone, the living part of the 2 Clone runes. I am to serve the master of the 1st clone rune, you." The other rune now floated to Simone, and engraved itself in his left palm. "The power is for you to find out," Clone said. "I am here only to serve, and to be your friend."

"Of course!" Simone said, still suprised.

"I also have other powers though, because I have some ressurection rune and flowing rune in me. But your Clone rune is more powerful. Together our runes make a set. You alone can control yours, and I alone can control me," Clone spoke. "Now get what you need to get, and lets head to the library." After he said all this, he let it set into Simone.

"Here Simone," Jaxx said, fastening the bag to Simone's belt. "Just throw them like you did when you were a kid, like they were another part of your body. Use your will power to guide them, and your aim will be true. GOOD_BYE NOW!"

"Thank you Jaxx," Simone said. "And may we meet again!" At this, he reclimed the stairs, and went downstairs, with Clone floating behind him. He was afraid they were going to make a scene, but people were silent. He ate, payed for his meal, and left. As he left, he thought of Jaxx, and thought that he should remember him for the future. He then walked towards the library.
