Yes I know I write Short Chapters. But I hope to upload often. Also I have a habit of losing interest in a story. But reviews definitely keep me interested. If I know your interested, then I am interested. Constructive Criticism is welcome. I also apologize for any OOC. and non-canon parts of the story, but I believe they will help the story in the long run.
"WE NEED TO GET TO MOUNT ALEPH!" Isaac shouted to congregated Adepts plus Kraden. Not all of the eight Adepts were present, in fact only Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Felix, and Jenna were there.
"There is no reason to shout Isaac; we know you need to go to the place where it all started." Responded Kraden calmly.
"Yeah Isaac, there is no need to act like Garet" joked Ivan. Jenna giggled as Garet stood up in indignation. The six of them were crowded into Patcher's new store and were quite exhausted from dealing with the biggest Psynergy Vortex they had seen so far; the Mourning Moon it had come to be called. Isaac and Garet were under the impression that if they could get to Sol Sanctum then they could figure how to stop the Psynergy Vortexes.
"But Gaia is troubled. She won't let anyone near the Sanctum." Felix spoke up and everyone paused, after his mentor Saturos had died he had become silent. He rarely spoke and even then it wasn't a very long sentence.
"Well we can at least try" said Isaac.
"We already have! Felix and I want to get there as much as you do but it's just not possible, and if you think that your Venus Psynergy will help then you can very well go and get yourself killed then! I on the other hand doubt that Sol Sanctum is still there!" Jenna exclaimed as she stormed out of the store.
"Hey Ivan could you Hover us to the sanctum?" Isaac asked
Ivan shook his head. "The Hover Psynergy is not that strong, and I have yet to find any way to fly using Jupiter."
"I wonder; could the alchemy tools be used for flight?" Kraden muttered
"What?" all the heads in the room turned towards Kraden.
"Well, in my research into Alchemy I found some information on several large Alchemy Machines, but none of those will help us now…"
"Then why'd you bring it up?" questioned an impatient Garet.
"I was just getting to that. Now if you will let me continue, I also found notes on smaller, personal sized machines, used in the everyday commonplace, which used raw Psynergy instead of elemental Psynergy, so that any adept could use it." Kraden paused for breath. "The one that might be useful here is the cornu metallum, or as it is translated from the Old Language; Soarwing.* It grants any well-trained Adept, regardless of Element, the ability to fly or literally soar on wings. You could use it to fly to the Sanctum. But…"
"WE'LL DO IT" shouted Garet, just happy to stop Kraden's long-winded speech.
"Of course all that my research turned up was that in order to power it, one would need a feather from a giant bird. I believed the ancient documents also made note of a large bird called a Mountain Roc that was useful in powering the Soarwing. Also we have no design for this machine…"
Felix walked out, hoping to find his sister. He had to say goodbye before he left. Even if he didn't know where he was going, he knew he had to leave. Something was calling him to leave. The marriage of his sister to Isaac probably didn't help either. But he loved his baby nephew Matthew… He couldn't think about those things or he might not leave.
Back in the main room the four men continued to discuss plan late into the night, Kraden gave all the information he could, which was surprisingly little for once. Eventually they decided that Isaac, Garet, and Ivan would leave the day after tomorrow. They sent a messenger pigeon to Imil in the hopes that Mia would join them on their journey to the East coast of Angara where the Mountain Rock was said to roost. Then they went to bed, excited by the prospect of a new journey.
*- cornu metallum is Latin and the actual translation is "Metal Wing"
I apologize to any Felix fans out there as he will not appear again, though I may use this as a backdoor into a new story eventually. (BIG MAYBE)
