Love and Hate (Phillip)

Ender-Chan wrote a crossover from her character Landon's perspective and asked me to write from Phillips eyes, so here it is, and I elaborated on the after-encounter and I'm half asleep in NYC. Yay. And at the end they go hang out with Lani, Carmen, Sarah and Maddie (Cams sister) and watch Finding Dory, mostly because my cousin likes Gerald the Sea Lion and wanted him to be referenced in some way. That's the picture explanation.

There's this strange portal like thing in front of us, it swirls and sparkles, some kind of portal. Like the one to Middle Earth. "Come on Phil, let's go!" Everan says taking my arm and dragging me in along with him. There's a flash and we end up in a strange land. It's very...blocky. We're in some sort of forest, it's dark, like Mirkwood. I hope there's not spiders! But maybe if it's like Mirkwood there's elves, but it's unlikely. I can't see Everan so I feel around for him, no such luck. "Everan? Everan! Everan Thenath?! Ev this isn't funny!!! Where are you?!" I yell to the forest. My only answer...silence, and the odd bird chirp. I conjure a candlelight spell, as I have no torches with me, and begin walking through the forest. It's starting to get dark, oh why did we ever come here?! I walk through the darkness armed only with my small dagger at my side, made of steel. It's SkyForge steel, the best in tamriael. Anna gave me it. I eventually get to the edge of the forest, and come to a large meadow, or flat plain. From afar I see some lights, I think it's a village, or a small town. I run towards it. I was right. I see some people, they wear brown clothing, and have long large noses. "Excuse me? Um have you seen Everan? He's an Elf whose got goldish pale skin, blond hair, is around 5,6 and is wearing Mage robes?" I ask left and right. I get no answer, everyone is frantically running into buildings, too busy to notice me.I sit down in an alley "oh it's no use, he's probably all finished with his task and left by now. And probably forgotten all about me." I say to myself, trying not to cry.
I must have eventually slept, because I wake when the sun is around 10:00. I walk out the village and into the plains. After walking for a while, I see a man much taller than me fighting some sort of green creepy thing. I walk towards him and he whips around "Don't hurt me!" I say shielding myself and bringing a ward around me. He looks at me angrily "p-please don't hurt me." I say quietly again. "Who are you?" The fellow snaps. "I-I'm Phillip. Phillip Evans." I say dispelling the ward. "I'm looking for Everan." The man frowns "Who is Everan?" I smile "He's my boyfriend. He's the best guy ever! Only, I wouldn't try and punch him in the face or anything, he wouldn't like that. And he's a wizard, and knows some martial arts...oh, and our friend has 3 dragons at their command." I say figitting with my hands and bouncing from foot to foot, waiting to see his reaction. His face stays static "you seem unsettled. Please, please tell me your not homophobic!" I say with a pleading movement. "Don't worry, I'm not. I just didn't expect to run into you." The man says. "Oh. I get that a lot. In my city you tend to run into people at strange times." I say easily, as it's true, Alinor is the capital of Summerset, and naturally quite large. But I've lived there my whole life, and know my way around. I then approach the man a bit more "what's your name? You never introduced yourself." I say as I move until I'm about half a foot away. He tightens up, like he's bracing himself "Landon LaCoste." He says. I can hear the strain in his voice. Sarah does it when her parents come to visit. It's sad. "Why do you say your name like its a bad thing?" I say very softly, almost whispering it. "If you knew what it meant you'd say it like that too." He whispers back sharply. He sighs "anyways, what does this Everan look like? Why are you both here?" He says crossing his arms and loosening up a bit, but still some tension remains. "First we were at this portal in Alinor, the city where we live. Then Ev dragged me through it, and we ended up in that forest over there." I say pointing to the forest before continuing "he had to meet with someone or something like that, wouldn't tell me. Just said 'Come on Phil you can enchant stuff.' And off we went. He is an inch taller then me, has slightly tanner skin, Blond hair, and is wearing black Mage robes, from The Thalmor. Where are we?" I tell Landon. "Your in minecraft. Your in the plains biome. Here I'll help you look for him." He says coolly and starts walking. I run a few paces to catch up, until we are walking side by side. "You look tired. I have a house just up there. You should rest for a bit." I shake my head "But-But Everan could be dead, or at least severely injured as not any of our group of friends can die 'cause we're immortal, but we can get really really hurt. So that could happen...or something worse." Tears start rolling down my cheeks, until I just start sobbing. Landon clasps a hand on my shoulder, "hey. It's okay. I saw someone who fits your description. I don't know who the thalmor are, but I saw someone who looks like that. He went that way." And points between the village and the forest, up towards a hill. I sniffle "Th-Thanks L-L-Landon." I stutter and we part ways. I walk towards the hill, and look back to see him sauntering away glumly, hands stuffed in his pockets, head down watching his feet. He seems sad. I then start up the hill.
I get to the top of a little grassy hill, on the other side I see some little knolls and a small stream. I look at the ground. Footprints, foot shaped, and not..block shaped I guess you could say? I follow them. In the distance I see black cloth moving around, and another of those weird green things, and hear the sound of sparks. Everans favorite spell is a lightning spell that uses shock damage to hurt the apponent. It's purple, and though dangerous if your the person it's being cast at, unless you use a ward. It's quite pretty. I run closer down the hill. Yep, that's Everan. He takes a dagger from his belt and stabs the enemy in the head. It makes a sort of squealing noise and collapses. He then faces me. "Everan?!" I yell to him. He waves with a smile. I run towards him and hug him tightly. He hugs me back "Where'd you go Phillip?" He whispers and kisses me. I pull away from him "where'd I go?! More like where'd you go!!" I say giving him a slight hit on the arm. He laughs "I'm kidding. I was worried about you. I couldn't see where you went so I just started going in my quest direction. Which I finished by the way. So we can go home now. Wheat happened to you?" He says and looks at me questioningly. "Well. I went the opposite way from you. I ended up over on that side in the plains. I met s cool guy named Landon, seemed nice enough, but kinda sad. Something strange about him. Couldn't put my finger on it though." I say looking Ev. He puts his arm around me and leans his head against mine "Let's go home, okay? I saw another portal just up there, Anna's friend, Caitlin, who I was meeting with, showed me it. And sent you this by the way." Everan says handing me a small package as we walk. I go to open it "ah ah ah. Alex, Caitlin's student. Said you have to wait until we're home to open it." I stuff it in my pack and we continue until we get to another portal just like the first, step through and we're home.

The two of us walk over to Lani's house and knock on the door. Mr.Cohen opens it and directs us downstairs. Lanriael, Carmen, Sarah and Cam's sister Maddie are all sitting in various places in front the TV and watching a movie. Lani's even sitting on the uneven bars...she's a gymnast, so is Xavier. And Lani's basement has a bunch of equipment in a portion of the basement, the other part is more like a living room, with a TV, Xbox, Couch, and other things. "Hey guys." We say sitting down "watch ya watching?" Everan asks. Then says "you can open the thing now. And I'll give you a hint, it's edible." I perk up at that, then quickly open my bag and pull out the checked cloth, tied with a light blue ribbon. I carefully untie it, then throw it to maddie who said she wanted it. I throw open the cloth and find a neat stack of chocolate chip cookies. Yum. Carmen then answers Ev's question "Finding Dory." And then Sarah pipes in with a funny voice "Gerald." And then Cam responds in the same voice "Gerald get off the rock!" And tackles her playfully into the couch, having her pinned beneath her "no fighting!" Lani says and swings down from the bars. Then walks over and plops down on the couch. The six of us then continue watching the movie, it's quite funny. And eating the delicious cookies. I saved one for my sister, as Ainsley would be quite unhappy if she knew we are all of them without her. At around 7:00 Lanriaels mother calls us up for dinner, she made this really good pasta with chicken and cheese. I asked for the recipe so I could give it to my Mum. Then after dinner The Smiths and Sarah go back home, and Everan and I head back to his apartment on Lexington street, a five minute walk. Around 10:00 we go to bed, but I sleep fitfully that night, my head turning over thoughts of that man that I met. Landon Lacoste. He seemed sad, hateful even, people avoided him or called him names. I wonder what made him like that…

The End

I'm sorry this took so long, I've been on holiday in NYC since Wednesday and go back to school this Wednesday (August 31) and I'm slightly scared of my schedule.

Until next time,
Max
