How did I meet my Guardians? Well, first off, it certainly wasn't quite
as exciting as the way Tigress Night met them -- then again, how can anything
compare to being 'kidnapped' by Duo Maxwell? (Answer: It can't.) My Guardians
weren't quite so mysterious, I suppose because they knew that Tigress had
already told me all about Guardian Palace, so there was no need for melodrama.
I was sitting at my computer, struggling to think of the answers for
the Biology lab, when my screen started showing what looked like the Aurora
Borealis. Now, since it wasn't exactly early in the evening, I thought
<Great. I fell asleep, and now I'm dreaming, while that lab analysis
definitely isn't finishing itself. And to top it off, the computer's going
nuts again . . . *sigh* . . . I have to wake up soon . . . >. After
a few seconds that seemed like minutes, a castle came into view on the
screen -- but in 3-D. It was as if I was looking out of a window at the
castle. Then, as if my poor brain wasn't muddled enough, people appeared
and were walking around the castle. So I did the only thing that any self-respecting
IB student would do: I stuck my hand through the computer screen . . .
And found myself standing, or rather, wobbling, on a pathway leading
to the castle. I didn't want the inhabitants of the castle to know that
I had to clue what I was doing, so I began to stroll around. Turning to
glance over my shoulder, I gasped -- I saw no sign of my computer, the
Aurora Borealis, or anything resembling my room. <Definitely time to
panic!!! Where am I? And how did I get here? *smothered scream* And why
are there dragons walking around me?!> One of the dragons casually
glanced at me and spoke. "You'll most likely want to be introduced to everyone.
Here, come follow me!" Having nothing to lose and everything to gain, I
did.
Random thoughts ran through my head while following the dragon. <Lots
of dragons around here, but they're almost commonplace or tame compared
to those huge machines over there-- wait . . . *hhhmmmm* are those Gundams?!
What are Gundams and dragons doing together?!> Various suspicions rose,
and fell again, in my mind as I struggles to keep up with my guide. <What
was Tigress talking about a few days ago? Something about Guardians and
a palace and . . . >
