Uncertainty
Chapter 1: Mia's Thoughts
The group had just left Contigo and was headed for the Jupiter Lighthouse. The clerk at Contigo's inn said that it would only take about a half-day hike, but to Mia, it seemed to take days.
Time moves so slowly during a long task, Mia thought, This quest of theirs is taking much longer than I had expected. It has been six months since I left Imil. I miss it so much. I wonder how Megan – no. I mustn't think of her, it might show on my face.
As she was thinking this, the Jupiter Lighthouse came into view.
"Oh thank the gods!" Garet cried the second the Lighthouse aerie broke the horizon. It seemed that the hike dragged on for Garet, too.
Mia was comforted by the fact that time was crawling by for Garet too. Of all the rowdy obnoxious boys in the group, she liked Garet the most. She wasn't in love with Garet, far from it, but he was always nice to her, and Mia thought that he fancied her. He always seemed to help Mia, and he was mostly focused on her. It wasn't that Mia didn't find Garet attractive, she did notice his large, well cut shoulders and his bulky muscles hidden underneath his clothing, but Garet was just too rash, and he was too impulsive. Mia liked to think that if he slow down and pay more attention to the consequences of his actions, then she would be with him. She knew she was only kidding herself, though. She knew there would be something else inhibiting her; she always found the worst things in guys.
As Mia drew her mind back to the quest, the group was arriving at the base of the Lighthouse
"I sense a commotion from within the Lighthouse. It is as if a great power just awakened," Ivan said suddenly.
"Well the aerie is not burning with Jupiter power, we would be able to see it," Mia responded.
"No…this is different. It is as if the Lighthouse was slumbering, but now it is awake."
"Maybe that will make it easier to pass, since Felix already did half the work for us," Issac noticed.
"Possibly…" was all that Ivan said.
They entered the Lighthouse. All the puzzles and traps were solved for them. They passed straight through the rooms without a hitch except for the occasional monster. Doors were already opened, and paths were already cleared. They continued to ascend the tower at breakneck speed, until they reached the bridge. It seemed sturdy enough, but as soon as Mia stepped foot on it, it collapsed under her, and she fell to a small platform. When she landed she heard and felt her leg crack, and immediately knew that the first thing to do was to heal her leg. She used ply on different parts of her leg several times, and fully healed the broken appendage. After that was taken care of, she pondered on what to do next.
What a predicament I'm in. how am I ever going to get back up with the others? Mia thought. Just as soon as she finished the thought, Garet hit the platform and rolled of. He was holding on to the edge of the platform with one arm.
"Garet! What the hell!? Why did you jump after me?" Mia yelled at Garet, infuriated that he would do something so stupid.
"I was trying to save you!" Garet yelled back.
"Yu shouldn't have jumped after me," by this time, Mia had regained her calm attitude, "Why are you only holding on with one arm?"
"I think I broke my other arm."
"Issac, I need the Lift Gem!" Mia yelled at the others.
"I'm sorry Mia, but I'm kinda locked in battle here. I'm sorry I can't help you," Issac yelled back.
"Mercury Damn it," Mia muttered. Mia then tried to pull Garet by his arm, but he was too heavy for her. "That didn't work; I wonder what I should do?" Then Mia had an idea. "Garet! Give me your hurt arm!" The arm barely made it within her reach, but when she grabbed a hold of it, she channeled Ply psyenergy into the arm, haling it. Then it was a simple task for Garet to pull himself up. Issac looked down to the platform and saw them both waiting there patiently, so he used Lift to get them back up to the correct floor. The bridge was still collapsed, so the group went the other way.
"What happened when we were down here?" Garet asked.
"Well, we met these two Mars Adepts who were the reason Mia fell showed up, and they beat us in battle. Then Felix and his party showed up, and the two Mars Adepts seemed to get angry, and they left. Felix now must light this Lighthouse, or they will kill him," Issac told him.
"Is Jenna still with them?"
"Of course."
Mia took a moment to recall Jenna. The only time she had ever seen Jenna was six months earlier, from afar at the aerie of the Mercury Lighthouse. Mia remembered her long, silky, fire red hair, and her eyes to match. He eyes seemed to have a spark in them that Mia admired. From the little that she had seen Jenna, she seemed passionate about her family. Mia blushed while thinking of Jenna, and she hoped the others would not notice. They crossed through a doorway, and they were in the Lighthouse aerie. The aerie was already burning with Jupiter power. They noticed that the two Mars Adepts that Ivan and Issac just fought lay unconscious before Felix and his group. Alex then appeared to take them away. Mia remained silent as she watched her brother. She was appalled that Alex would commit such a crime as to betray his own sister and fight for evil purposes, but she accepted the fact that, one day, they would have to fight Alex. They revealed themselves after Alex left. It was the first time Mia saw Jenna up close. Jenna was more beautiful than she had previously thought. Although her eyes had a spark of life, they showed compassion. Mia was lost in thought when she realized that she should pay attention to the conversation.
"…go back to Contigo and talk," Jenna said.
"I agree," Mia quickly responded, then thought, Damn! That was too fast! I seem too eager.
Both groups returned to Contigo and shared their story. Mia inconspicuously stared at Jenna the entire time. Mia studied her features, listened to what she said, and hoped to the gods that no one noticed. Mia paid attention at the end of the conversation, when Hamma was saying that she was Ivan's sister. The rest of the time Mia was making mental notes about what Jenna said and her actions. After the long discussion, it was decided that Issac would join Felix in his quest. Mia was pleased, as she got to spend more time with Jenna. Since it was evening, they decided to all spend the night in the inn.
That night Mia dreamed, and she dreamed of Jenna.
Whew...the end of the first chapter. This actually took me a couple of days to write as I am in High School, so it could be weeks before I present the second installment of my story. Again, I hoped you liked it, and please review!
