Garet's BIG mistake
Chapter One It was a normal day in Vale, the sun was shining, and the puppies were playing..
BANG
"AHHHHH" screamed Garet "we're all gonna DIE!"
"Calm down, Garet" said Ivan "We are NOT going to die, it was just Isaac using Grand Gaia". Garet stared at him as if he was mad.
"What do you MEAN we're not gonna die? If Isaac is practising his Psynergy, it DOES mean we're gonna die! AHHHHHHHH!" Ivan raised one eyebrow, then shook his head and walked away. "Hmmph". Garet tutted. "Ignorant boy."
"Don't call Ivan ignorant!" Mia came strolling down the stairs, and stopped to glare venomously at Garet.
"For one, it isn't very nice. For another, Ivan is NOT ignorant. He's actually very bright, well, more than you are anyway". She smirked. Isaac's head appeared from behind his house, where he had been practising his Psynergy.
"What's all the fuss about? Ivan just told me something about Garet thinking it's the end of the world or something. All because I'm practising my Grand Gaia?" Garet turned scarlet.
"Uh. Well. Whenever you're umm. practising your Psynergy things always seem to." At that moment he had to stop because of Mia kicking him very hard in the shins.
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but when are we going to Imil? Because we were meant to be visiting Megan and Justin today."
"Ivan!" shouted Garet. "We're going to."
"I'm behind you, Garet". Garet jumped, and spun around to see Ivan leaning against a tree, watching them. "Don't do that! It scares me!" Garet muttered. Isaac came from behind his house and stood next to Ivan.
"Well?"
*******
"I'm tired."
"Not again, Garet!" Isaac groaned as they emerged from Bilibin Cave.
"We've been trekking for hours." At this, Ivan turned around and looked at Garet, frowning slightly.
"Are you sure? I think it's been ten minutes." Mia scowled.
"Well, we're almost there anyway, so stop complaining."
"Fine". Garet stalked ahead of them, head in the air, and disappeared from view into the trees. A moment later, there was a resounding yell, and a splash. Mia and Ivan looked at each other, and rushed forward, closely followed by Isaac, who seemed to be muttering something about clumsy Mars Adepts. When Ivan reached the edge of the trees, he saw Garet submerged waist deep in a freezing river. Mia giggled.
"You should really watch where you're going, Garet".
"HELP I'M DROWNING!!" screamed Garet "now I am going to die!!!!"
"Um. Garet? Garet, the water's up to your knees." Ivan pointed out.
"AHHH! I'M. huh?" Garet looked down and saw that the water was, indeed, only up to his knees. "I. um. I knew that! I was just. playing." Garet laughed nervously. All the others were looking at him sceptically. There was a long silence. Finally, Isaac coughed and said,
"We better get going to Imil."
*********
"Mia! Since when did you get back?" Mia turned to see Megan and Justin standing at the gates to the Sanctum. Smiling, she returned their greeting. Meanwhile, Garet had disappeared.
"Isaac? Isaac. Where's Garet?" Ivan asked. When Isaac continued to stare into thin air, he nudged him gently with his elbow.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry, Ivan".
"Isaac, Garet has vanished again" Ivan said. Mia gave a contemptuous snort, and said
"Well, that's rather obvious.". When Ivan and Isaac looked puzzled, she sighed, and motioned for them to listen. After about a moment, yet another scream came from the north of Imil, near the waterfall.
"Oh, now what?" Ivan sighed.
"We better go and see." suggested Isaac. They all hurried to the Sanctum doorway and looked down on the waterfall. Another yell ricocheted off the cliffs, emanating from the icy cave in the waterfall. Ivan couldn't help but give a small smile. "It seems Garet tried ice-skating".
"And failed miserably". Mia added. Isaac came up and all three Adepts looked down as a very wet and rather bedraggled Garet came out of the cave. He was examining his hand and grimacing.
"What's the matter, Garet?" Isaac called down. Garet glared up at him.
"I tried to go ice-skating, but it didn't work. I fell over, and now I've gotten my hair wet, and my hand half frozen." He was interrupted at this point by Mia and Isaac bursting out laughing. Ivan didn't move, nor say anything, but he grinned. Garet looked like he was about to throw an Inferno in their direction. When they didn't stop laughing, that's exactly what he did. Luckily Ivan noticed and unleashed Flash, whom had insisted on accompanying them to Imil,
"In case they got in trouble" as the Djinni had put it, and it blocked the attack. Mia scowled.
"You'll pay for that." Ivan ducked as Mia launched an Ice Missile over his head. It hit Garet, causing him to slip and fall over on the ice.
' I wish I wasn't so CLUMSY' Garet thought glumly to himself as Mia grinned triumphantly, and Isaac was laughing so hard, he had fallen over. "Oh Garet, your clumsiness has got you into so much trouble. You wrecked my roof, you handed over the Elemental Stars." Isaac carried on with a long list of Garet's faults. Ivan, meanwhile, had gone into the Sanctum, and Mia was still looking very dangerous indeed, lest Garet try anything again. When Isaac had finished, Garet managed to pull himself over to the riverbank, and started up towards the Sanctum, and where Isaac and Mia stood. Ivan looked out of a window in the building. "Come on Isaac, Mia, Garet. Dinner's ready!" "Oh good. I was hungry" Garet stated as he went into the Sanctum. Isaac and Mia exchanged glances, sighed, then followed.
