Well, it's about time that Chrono Trigger's massive enemy destruction counter is laid off to the side for a bit and we now focus our attention a tad more on the plot.
Rightly so, at that. After restocking on potions, revives, and whatnot, the crater in which Lavos landed in the Prehistoric period seemed to open up a time gate, which brings our heroes to 12,000 B.C., more easily put, the Magic Kingdom.
The Magic Kingdom is a peaceful little region in the sky with luxurious, palace-like buildings inside little domes. The inhabitants seem rather whimsical - not necessarily in the whole elf, woodland creature, Middle Earth type thing, but...just the way they speak to you, the way they live, the added background music in the area, for God's sake. Plus, they can use magic, so your team (well...minus Ayla and Robo) can relate to them a tad more, with them not being an enemy and all of that.
What I find rather interesting is that the inhabitants are also quite idealistic. There are plenty of them to talk to - while some speak of landmarks and people I've never heard of before, whom I'm assuming are very great in power, others will flat-out ask you, "Do you think that we are predestined in our lives?", to which you can answer. Really makes a person think, when you get deep into the question.
What really is predestination? Does it pertain to life, or life after death, or both...or neither? Is it a path that is laid out before you, and you are to walk along it like a marionette? Is it a path laid out before you, and your free will then decides if you walk the path or not? Or is there no predestination? Are we given a mental paintbrush as a child, and told to make our own path?
One can never tell, I suppose.
Regardless, the Magic Kingdom is ruled by a queen who apparently isn't in the best of moods as of late. After breaking into her chamber via special door using a pendent fueled by Lavos' power that I found in a place called Kajah, the queen sicks her pretty little Golem on me, and kills me. The rumors are true, eh?
After being released from the palace, one of the queen's authorities banishes me from the region, sealing the time gate, and leaving me and my team to figure out how to break the seal. I currently reside back in the future, rummaging through the wreckage that is 2300 A.D. to find more of these special doors, and using my little pendant to discover something that I'm not quite aware of yet.
Take a look at my boyfriend's blog - I'm sure he may have better idea as to what I'm looking for than I do.

Chrono Trigger 8 - Whoops!
I have not posted a blog in three days. Here is my excuse.
Magus is a bitch to defeat. I don't think I've ever once had to use an ether in the game until now. Such complicated magic use and foreboding attacks that man uses.
Anyway, the point of my excuse is I spent an hour of one of my days trying to defeat him, failing, and going back through the castle to level my team up a bit more. The other day, I played my hour, but honestly forgot to blog about it (sorry!).
So now I'll be blogging about my previous two hours on Chrono Trigger.
As my boyfriend has probably already mentioned in a blog previous blog post of his or so, Lavos actually arrived in the Prehistoric period, which is where my team ends up going, after finding out that Magus is not the real threat toward the world (though, ends were definitely met between him and Frog, with the awesome sauce that is the Masamune), thus dragging us into some more Reptite quarreling.
...Maybe I shouldn't say quarreling. Perhaps heated affection would be a tad more on-the-mark. (not in the erotic way, mind you) Ayla is the main chief, therefore making it her responsibility (along with her natural prowess) to deal with the Reptites.
Azala, head Reptite, is not a force to be reckoned with. Though he sits at the shoulder of his most powerful beast, Black Tyrano, he served as quite a difficult enemy himself. Yet Ayla still offers him refuge as Lavos begins to hail down from the sky via space comet. Poor little guy should have gone. :C
But that pretty much sums up my previous two hours. Lavos has landed, our team was able to escape on the backs of Dactyls, and after I go forward in time just a tad to stock up on some potions and whatnot, I'll be taking a closer look as to who this Lavos really is. Or something..
To learn more, check out my boyfriend's blog, as he just accomplished three straight hours.
(-mumbles-)
I'll catch up with him, no worries.
