Disclaimer: I could say I'm a ninja as well, but that wouldn't make it true now?
AN: ANOTHER spin-off from Sokai's Royal Guardian fic. However, unlike the previous challenges, THIS one involves writing from Caleb's perspective all the way through the fic. That's hardcore, but I can't resist a challenge. Especially one from Sokai;D
AN2: This is set just before the beginning of the 'Royal Guardian' fic.
Hello there and welcome to Caleb off the air! Maybe not. I guess after far too many years in the company of little Miss Lair, the resident comedian of the guardians and best friend of my adopted sister Hay Lin. Which is probably why I have to spend too much time in her company.
I guess that everyone listening needs an introduction. Not that I intend to actually ever let anyone listen but…
The name's Caleb. Caleb Virgilio. And I'm an ex-murmur. As in, one of the ex-murmurs of Prince Phobos. But I got better.
Well you try living with Hay Lin and NOT getting infected with a little bit of the Lair infection. Especially with her best friend bouncing off the walls. Especially after they made you watch Monty Python. Which is actually pretty good, if insanely stupid. The Holy Grail is practically Meridian in design.
The Guardians, for those of you living under a rock these past few years (or on Earth) are basically the protectors of the universe. It's largely thanks to them that the universe is safe from the likes of Prince Phobos.
(Phone rings in the background. Caleb answers and a muffled conversation is heard, although details are largely unclear. Then the sound of the phone being closed is heard and Caleb returns.)
Heh, sorry about that, just received a call from my girlfriend Cornelia. She's the Earth Guardian, with beautiful blond hair and amazing blue eyes and perfect figure. I just wish things weren't feeling so…strained at the moment.
Don't get me wrong, I do love her. Hell, we used to meet in her dreams before we even met, when we were on different worlds and she didn't even know what her destiny was as a Guardian. How much more obvious could fate be? But, three years in, we've hit a bit of a rough patch. Something's changed and I don't know what or why.
And to add to the confusion, Will, the redheaded Guardian leader, one of Cornelia's best friends and one of the most crushed on girls in the school, is acting pretty oddly lately. Nothing that sticks out, but I can tell something's up. I have a feeling that she has a new crush, but I can't say who.
("Ooooh Caleb, are you talking into that radio diary I got for you?" a high pitched voice asks. "Yes, now give me a bit of privacy!")
That voice was my adopted sister Hay Lin, better known as Hay-Hay. She's a wonderful girl who bounces off of the walls. It's her idea that I record my thoughts and feeling on tape. Probably a good thing as I have terrible record with diaries. Really, I seldom keep them up beyond the first two days. She's also regarded as a very pretty girl (which she is admittedly) and there was even this bizarre rumour going around when I first moved in that we were DATING! Urgh, no disrespect to Hay-Hay, but that would be like dating my sister. Wrong on so many levels.
Anyway, Seeya later.
AN3: Sokai's version of Caleb is a stubborn little she-dog who won't behave himself. Anyway, this story is a back-burner project at the moment, so updates will be slow. Really slow. Hopefully, I've got Caleb right this time
