Products of Boredom: Battle of the Century

~Ander sits on a rock and let's out a sigh. The others are gone and he is bored. The elven seer tries to find something to do but nothing captures his interest. He starts to clean the house but he knows that it's only going to get trashed again (or rebuilt) thanks to Karin's dragon and Savin's wolf. He picks up a bit and goes to the library to read. All of the good books are gone (probably hidden in Savin's room) and he doesn't feel like looking for them. He goes down to the lake to fish but he remembers that Avila has accidentally burned his fishing pole and bait to a crisp. He finally resorts to just sitting on a big, flat rock, waiting for the others return from the market~

Ander: Why me? Why am I cursed with such monsters to live with?!

~Ander sticks a finger in the cold soil, making the plants grow around him~

Ander: At least I have the earth stone of Elder to keep me busy. I wonder what else I can do with this thing?

~The elf starts to concentrate hard. Little bits and pieces of rocks and soil come together to make a golem–a miniature golem to be more exact. He holds it up in his palm. It is no bigger than his pinky~

Ander: Hmm...that's never happened before. Cute little thing, though. I wonder...

~Ander sets the little golem down and lies his palms on the soil. Little golems start to pop out of the soil all over the place until he has an armies worth of little golems. The first little golem looks up at the elf quizzically (that is he would have if he had a face to do it with). Ander smiles~

Ander: General Minatory Golem! Get your troops ready for battle!

~The elf is no longer bored. He creates a Minatory rock hat and horse for his "general" and various little weapons for his grand army. After they are situated and ready for battle, Ander creates their opponents~

Ander: *starts to laugh at the likeness* This is way too good!

~Ander has created a Minatory for each memeber of the group. There is a Minatory Xavier, his rock face really set in stone. Avila stands ready next to him, little flames irrupting from her hands. Karin is on Ruse, the dragon circling over the little army of golems. Savin is atop of Mage, the giant wolf growing almost as large as Ruse. A Minatory Ander pops out of the ground, standing behind his friends~

Ander: And now, attack!

~The little golem army starts to move forward. Ander laughs historically~

Ander: *mimicking Xavier's voice* Now, now! We shall see who will win this battle! Stand fast my friends for this will be the battle of the century!
Ander: *mimicking Avila's voice* I'm ready, Xavier. Let's kick some golem booty!

~The first little golem stops his army and sends the first string forward. Golem Ruse flies over head~

Ander: *mimicking Karin* I'll take care of this bunch. Let's do it Ruse!

~A small explosion of fire flows out of the dragons throat, burning the first string of golems. It has no effect~

Ander: *mimicking Karin* Damn! Guess this means we have to do this the hard way.

~Little Karin gets an evil grin on its face. Ruse charges golems and tears them apart. Little Savin and Mage start to charge forward as well~

Ander: *mimicking Savin* Let us show Karin how this is really done!
Ander: *mimicking Karin* I don't need help from anyone!
Ander: *mimicking Savin* Too bad!

~The little barbarian and weapon master finish off the first string and fall back to the group. Ruse takes off towards the sky and Mage shrink to normal wolf size. Little Xavier steps forward~

Ander: *mimicking Xavier* Now it is my turn.

~The little mage closes his eyes, a little power blast rips through the golem army. General Minatory Golem gives a little war cry and charges with the rest of his army. Ander continues to laugh like a mad man, not noticing the shadows coming behind him~

Ander: *mimicking Avila* There's too many of them! Xavier, can you stop them?
Ander: *mimicking Xavier* I'll try but I think we all know who can do a better job than I. He's the strongest one of all and should be able to handle these golems. Ander, take care of this little mess.

~Ander bows to no one in particular with a smile on his face~

Ander: *as himself* Don't be so modest Xavier. You're just as good as me.
Ander: *mimicking Xavier* No no no no no...I insist that you handle this, Great One.

~Ander pauses his game at his last comment~

Ander: Great one. I like the sound of that. *returns to army* Well, if you insist.

~The little elf holds up his hands to the sky, little storm clouds forming above the golem army. Little sparks of lightning fall from them, tearing the golems apart. Golem Ander uses the Earth Stone of Elder to make more of them crumble to the ground. The real Ander dances around like a maniac, laughing his head off. One of the shadows clears its throat~

Xavier: What are you doing?

~Ander turns around to find Xavier, Karin, Avila, Savin, Mage and Ruse standing behind him. They all look quite interested in what the elf's response will be to the mage's question~

Ander: *stuttering* Um...um...uh...heh... Hi guys. Back so soon?
Karin: *to Savin* Great One? Is he really serious?
Savin: *shrugs shoulders* ...
Ander: *clears throat* I was strategizing in case we come up against an army of golems, that's all!
Avila: Uh huh. Sure you were. *rolls eyes*
Xavier: I think that you've had enough magic use for one day, Ander. It's starting to get to your head. Why don't we all go inside and have lunch. Oh and Ander, pick up your mess.

~Savin, Karin, and Avila snicker as they all follow Xavier inside. Ander lets out a sigh and destroys the golems–all except for one~

Ander: Come on General Minatory Golem. Let's go get some lunch.

~The little golem jumps into the elf's hand and they head for the cottage~
