- 1. Iwan Urisini left his home planet of Loros embarking on a
journey to settle the untamedlands of the nearby world of Palivan.
However, nothing ever seems to go as planned forour heroes from
Loros. The ships drive malfunctioned and instead of dropping out
ofhyperspace after 3 months the ship continued to drift through
space for 300 years.Instead of landing on Palivan, it had reached a
far off world which the locals or humanscalled Earth.Realizing what
had happened, Iwan Urisini decided that he and his settlers
shouldsimply set up a colony on this strange world instead.
Realizing that some humans werefearful or jealous of their strange
gifts, Iwan with the help of the Gypy matriarchs createda shield
that could hide the new settlement of Horizon from the prying eyes
of thedangerous locals.The only way a human or outsiders from other
worlds could enter and see the settlementwas for a member of the
colony to bring them inwell unless you happened to possesmagic of
your ownWelcome one and all to The Adventure Continues. This is
going to be my attempt at theBuild A City Challenge/ Prosperity
Challenge and is a sequel to my Goldweaver FamilyLegacy. Our hero
is Iwan Urisini (The tenth generation spare to my Goldweaver
Family)Hopefully, this all goes well. Oh and since this is a
hybridIve started out with morethan 1 sim. I have 7 houses at the
start of this challenge. Well onward with the story eh?
2. How did he always end up with the crappy assignments? Zeus
was going on about strange new powerreadings that someone just had
to investigateapparently some unknown beings had set up a colonyon
Earth. And he wanted to know exactly who these beings werewhat they
were capable ofwerethey a threat to the Greeks etc. So here he was
transported into the middle of a wedding (not thatgetting around
their magical barrier had been easy, actually it had been rather
difficult no humancould have pulled it off) Wait? That man in the
yellow tux looked familiarno it couldnt be. Couldit? 3. As the
wedding progressed and guests began to cut into the cake, Aiden
started to make his way through thecrowd and toward the man in
yellow. He could almost swear that it was Ryker Kim, the old family
guardian forthe Goldweavers. Hed been married to an heiress of the
family oncebut that was so very long ago, and whatcould the Lorians
possibly be doing on Earth?Hey, youre cute. Wanna dance? Hic!Why
was he always followed by these types? Look lady, no. Just no.
Honestly she looked like an ape. As hetried to push past the
drunken blue clad party guest, he felt the alien giving him the
strangest look. 4. Pardon me, but well you look an awful lot like
Aiden Loros.Hey General, a cheeky teen cut in, thats completely
ridiculous. Aiden Loros died hundreds of years ago.Hey Rickif you
hadnt noticed this guy just popped into the middle of the Ursini
wedding so hes clearly not human. As an Akivari its myjob to ensure
the protection of everyone including your miserable hide. Which I
might add you are making more than just a little bit
difficult.Aiden had forgotten how much he hated snot nosed
teenagers. He cut in, Hey kid, you should listen to the green
guy..Listen, this is going totake some explaining and is likely
going to be really awkward could you maybe set up a meeting with
the other AkivariRyker He wasalmost certain that the other man was
Ryker Kim now.Uh, sure. 5. Grandmaster, this man asked to speak to
you.Ryker looked up with a sigh. He hated the public gatherings.
Everyone always had to be so diplomatic and formal.Yes? he took one
look at the man and he nodded. Aiden? So I take it Zeus abducted
you after all then? Ani-Meisuspected as muchshe said he has a
tendency to be a pain sometimes. He grinned a toothy smile. Youre
probablywondering about the whole not frying in the sun thingI can
thank one of the great-grandkids for that one. Speakingof
great-grandkids howd you like to meet one of your distant
relations? Hey Iwan theres someone here I think youllwant to
meet!Wait he had great-grandkids now? Aiden was so completely
confused. As Ryker drug him off into the house, hesighed. This was
by far one of the worst assignments ever. 6. After the wedding
party was broken up, Aiden was escorted into the kitchen. Iwan said
hedbe right back. After the young man had changed out of his suit
hed come back in in. Soyoure Aiden! Honestly I cant believe Im
meeting you great-grandfather. Its a completehonor.Riiight. He just
looked at the strange man staring back at him. He could certainly
seehimself in the man. So, do you mind telling me exactly what you
are doing here? 7. Not at all Great-grandfather.Aiden.Excuse me
Great..No, Aiden. Thats my name.Oh. Sorry Great-grandfather
Aiden.Just Aidennone of that formal titles stuff. Were family.Oh.
So you dont want me to call you Great-grandfather? I apologize, but
Great-grandmother Kalana instilled the importance of referringto
others by their proper titles and I simply thought.Ah Kalana, how
hed missed her. Well sort of. Yes, well, Im NOT the formal type
myself. Call it opposites attracting if you want. 8. Very well.
Though it will probably take me some time to become accustomed to
calling you by your given name. If Islip into the formal titles I
do ask your forgiveness.Yeah..so what are you doing here again?Oh.
Well you see Ive always been fascinated with traveling to other
worlds and so it was decided since I was theyoungest son that I
should lead the expedition to colonize new worlds. I had an older
brother named Fable. Hes deadnow. Our ship malfunctioned and we
travelled for 300 years instead of 3 months. Anyway, we ended up
here on Earthinstead of Palivan and well we took a vote and decided
to start the colony here instead. That is alright isnt it sir? 9.
Aiden really felt like slamming his head into the table. But he
restrained himself, somewhow No, thats not aproblem. Its just my
boss he sensed that you were here. We had a problem with aliens
trying to take over the worldrecently and he wanted me to make sure
you werent like that guy.Your boss sensed? If you dont mind my
askingI mean you were an elder in some of the photos and now
youarent. Ryker said you didnt die. And he mentioned something
about Zeus abducting you..Great how did he explain this? Honestly,
Im immortal. And apparently I wasnt allowed to grow old and die
soZeus, my boss, he used his magic to bring me back to Earth after
Kalana died. I was then returned to my originalage. 10. So you and
your boss are kind of like elves or Akivari?Something like
that.Could you visit us here? I mean since this is still Earth
could you get your boss to let youspend time with us? Id love for
you to be around to meet my kids. Or maybe we could comevisit you?
Like I said I love going to new places, and Im sure Claire, thats
my wife by theway, shed be more than happy to come too. Shes a very
open-minded human. Shes the onethat taught me English. Pretty neat
right? 11. Aiden smiled. Id like that too. I cant see why hed say
no to either really. Though you coming for a visitmight be a little
more complicated. Besides he owes me, Aiden thought bitterly. He
already hauled me awayfrom my family once. He cant actually think
Ill let him tear me away from them a second time. Ill see yousoon
Iwan.Johnthats my Earth name if youre curiousJohn Ursini. Claire
says its perfect. Ill practice just callingyou Aiden. And you can
practice just calling me John. Unless you want to use Iwan.
Whatevers fine. Wellunless were out around the humansthen Im just
John. But you already knew that didnt you great-oh waitAiden.Sounds
good to me. 12. It took some time, but eventually Aiden was allowed
to move to Horizon to be with hisfamily. He had to live in his own
house that operated under the rules so that he would notage, but
otherwise he was free to visit and watch out for his own. It was
true that Kalana wasno longer with him, but now at least he had
part of her with him again.Welcome back Aiden. See that I
remembered. Iwan/John laughed, Meet your great-greatgrandchildren
Axel and Lexa. 13. And before anyone knew it Axeland Lexa had grown
into veryrambunctious toddlers. 14. Lexa, the oldest was her
mothers little girl. She looked exactly like Claire,except for the
ebony locks inherited from her father. Shed also inherited
hergreat-great grandfathers nasty streak. (No lie only 1 nice point
here folks) 15. See? 16. Meanwhile Axel, inherited his fathers
sweet disposition. (10 Nice
Points.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17. Of course, the Ursini family wasnt the only one in town. Just
across the streetlived one Akivari Ryker Kim. He was still
considered the Grandmaster of theAikivari order, but he was retired
from his duties as a guardian. He was also nowcured of his allergic
reaction to the sun which meant he could come and go as hepleased.
18. In many ways, he hadnt changed much. He was still the same
loveable goofball.Though hed discovered that he had a true love of
the outdoors. (I kid you not hispre-destined hobby is Nature. How
fitting is that? *huggles her Ryker*) 19. And hed decided to take
up dancing in his old age. He wasnt that good at it. Actuallyhe
made faces reminiscent of when he played chess with Toren, but he
seemed to behappy. And of course he always practiced In green
leotards.(Im sorry I know Ryker causes me to break the fourth wall
al lot, but hes awesome.For those who dont know Ryker practically
did everything in his green PJs back inLoros. Oh and he married a
green alien. Wore green outerwearyeah I think he has afavorite
color.) 20. And Ryker kept in touch with his great-great grandson
Bran. Bran was the leader ofthe towns defense forces and the Ursini
familys current guardian.Uhsorry about the crispy fried toast there
Ry-Ry.Its not a problem Bran. Honestly, I told Allyn I would have
been more than happyto make breakfast. 21. Youll do no such thing
Ry-Ry! You are a guest in our home. I wont have youdoing the
cooking, cleaning, and gardening. Those are my jobs. You just
relaxand play with Kay.Ryker chuckled. 22. Allyn Walosenko was
truly a Nectu woman through and through. Hard working,loyal, and
hospitable. His great-great grandson was a lucky man. 23. He
wandered into the kitchen to put away his own dishes before Allyn
cameback and tried to do it for him. Ry-Ry play with me?He looked
down to find Kay Walosenko gazing up at him from the floor. Thekid
had certainly gotten his fathers messy hair. Sure thing kiddo. Just
let meput these dishes in the sink. 24. And Allyn wasnt the only
Nectu woman in the small colony either. On the north sideof Horizon
the Aspir family had set down their roots. The Aspirs had been the
first toopen up shops in the small marketplace. But then Nectu
never worked for anyone butthemselves. Elizabeth was a renowned
seamstress and the clothes from her Clothingshop were highly sought
after. 25. Her husband Victor and his father Luis took turns
minding the colonys grocer. Bothmen had developed close friendships
with the Ursini family. Victor and Aiden gotalong quite well. 26.
Elizabeth had recently had to put her sewing and business on hold.
Her secondpregnancy was proving to be quite difficult. But the
family was still doing quitewell even with Elizabeth currently off
her feet. 27. Victor and Elizabeths daughter Pauline did her best
to help her mother around thehouse while she was pregnant. She kept
her room tidy, helped set the table before themeals and helped her
Grandpa Luis with the dishes. But not to worry even with herMama
being tired, Pauline still found time for her favorite hobby,
drawing. 28. It wouldnt be much longer now before she had a new
brother or sister. Pauline wasquite excited about being a big
sister. She couldnt wait to show the kids at
schoolpictures!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
29. Meanwhile, in the gypsy compound, Inderb Mole dutifully sat
studying the finer arts ofcooking and cleaning. Both skills would
serve her well when she became a woman. UnlikePauline, Inderb did
not attend the human primary school or even the colony school. She
waseducated at home by her governess, an elder gypsy named Cleo.
The gypsies were of the mindthat a child should not attend formal
schools as they were filled with corruption that couldeasily
ensnare a young girl like Inderb. 30. Inderb also took music
lessons three days a week. These she learned from her musicteacher
Urien. Her father John made his living by writing books. John was
devoted tohis job and spent many long hours at his typewriter in
the study within the Gypsycompound. His daughter Inderb therefore
spent most of her day with the variousservants that her father
employed or else left on her own. 31. That isnt to say that John
Mole did not love his daughter. In the evenings after his work was
completedfor the day, he made time to listen to his daughter play
her newest musical pieces and they often playedchess before bed.
How was that Father? she asked expectantly.Lovely Inderb! You are
progressing quite nicely with your studies. Mistress Cleo and
GrandmasterUrien have given me very good reports. You are growing
into a fine young woman.Inderb beamed up at her father with pride.
She was glad he liked her music. Shall we play chess now?Lead the
way child. 32. Iwan woke with a start from his latest dream.
Hedidnt think hed ever get used to havingprophetic dreams. Had his
ancestor Toren evergotten used to them? Somehow he doubted it.
Heshook his head. He should speak with Bran. 33. And so that is
