As Frank walked across the path on what looked like very uneven pavement he looked up to see the castle more clearly they arrived at one of the walls that had a large hole in it.
As his ghostly friend spoke to him in his head "do you fear heights?" Talion asked while frank "only if I can't see the bottom and look there's a hole up there we can enter this castle from up there we just need some kind of tool?"
Frank grabbed the vines and began tearing them out and began making a caveman basket with vines " why are you making this?" Tailon asked as frank finished up "to hold and plunder we are going to use? Look if I knew I was going to be taken into a forest full of talking magic-using and flying ponies I would have packed heavier." Frank said as talion shook his head "very funny Frank."
"Anyway, how about we just climb up? It doesn't seem that bad... "
Frank used what remaining sunlight there was to determine how high up the breach was in the castle's wall "tailon I'm not climbing that..." Frank said opting out of doing it.
"Oh come on! Don't be such a child if something does happen your limps will grow back or mend over time. Plus I can just teleport us up there" Talion reasoned trying to make the young man take a risk. As he left out the part about how painful it would be
--------------------------------*four minutes later*----------
"This place is just falling apart I don't think that there might be anything good within," frank said climbing through a large hole in the wall as he death gripped vines so that he wouldn't fall to his death but while
Talion didn't answer him seeming to have gone silent as frank rolled his eyes. As he soon entered a hall which was pitch-black now frank just remembered he had his cell phone on him as he reached into his pocket and turned it on the signs of Samsung and team mobile appeared as frank turned in his phone's flashlight. It also showed he had about 62% battery left so he did have a little time before it died
As the human would witness what appeared to be blue pony armor? On stands, for ponies, as Frank walked over to one it was small compared to him as it came up to his lower stomach at most but he began pulling the armor off and stuffing it into the dense vines from the old castle after that plunder.
Frank went and saw a larger version of the armor but it was golden as he stored what he could as frank began to wander the halls of the castle
(or the castle of the two royal sisters if you skipped chapter five this is for you to know where they are.)
'Frank tap the armor I can tell how dense and strong it is. By the sounds and vibrations If it is a heavy tap the armor would be great protection a hollow tap is a bad armor piece but if it's in between heavy and light we can forge it into weapons.
Frank sighs as he stood there tapping armor pieces frank this took about half an hour of their time sorting what they had out
" most of this is heavy the rest is hallow," frank said getting up with the good pieces of armor in his vine bag.
"Plus how did you learn how to tell what metals are still useable or not?" Asked frank while using the flash on his phone to navigate the old abandoned halls of the castle
'I had learned it from someone who had saved my life many years ago but he is no more...' talion spoke as frank came across a door it looked like the wood was rotting away as frank kicked it off the hinges. "Oh yeah? What was this Man's name?" Frank asked as the door didn't break '...It was not a man it was an elf named celebrimbor the second greatest smith of the second age.'
Talion said as that paused Frank from kicking again." so you were saved by a wraith?" frank asked while just standing there looking for the hinges seeing if they were visible to try and kick them off.
'He had saved me from truly dying he said I was banished from death and like him cast adrift between light and darkness.' Frank had been quietly listening to his wraith friend speak seeing a piece of wood blocking the door after using some force it fell off and finally Frank kicked the not well-maintained door off the hinges.
'You never explained the thing in your hand is it magic? Is that how we can see where we are going? But mostly where you're going' said talion confused at how Frank's phone worked.
"What? No! It's a cell phone or smartphone" Frank said as he shined his light around the room found a few containers and began to make his way over to go and loot them.
"Didn't I tell you about it already?" Frank said as he pulled out a musty old book and tossed it away. "No? what is a smartphone? Is it like a Palantir? Will it give us more information about the houses in the woods? " Said talion as frank dug through what seemed to be storage chests? Or maybe some kind of metal containers "what? No!... I mean yes and no it depends but the main purpose of this device was originally to send information over vast distances near instantly." Frank tried to explain as he left the storeroom after having no luck.
Frank began to enter what seems to be a large chamber or a sorta large throne room with two thrones well two sorta the second one had been destroyed badly as Frank made his way over to the not destroyed throne.
And plumed down "do you know how to make weapons with this smartphone?" Talion asked not trusting a small black glass shard could do all that Frank was about to answer when
Talion spoke again "those will do nicely for now so if need be you can rest and no enemies near so where safe' frank sighs and tries to get comfy." also these pillows aren't all stiff to hell like the cave floor." Frank said while adding on
"Good this is our new digs for a while. Mind if I train again in the mind space?" Asked talion agreed as frank fell asleep on a blue alicorn's old throne. 'That's good training every day will help you be ready for real battles in the future.'
Frank had settled their things onto the broken throne as he leaned back to get some rest and train
Author's Note
Holy smokes! We reached 1.1k! I never that this story would be this popular! Thank you all for liking and commenting on the story really couldn't have done it without you guys! And I'd liked to point out something before I get a flood of comments saying that there's no forge part in it which is true. But I'm planning to either make that castle the forge or a little bit underground of the castle of the two royal sisters or maybe the cave he first crashed at? We will see!
