Isaac looked around, as if he were reminiscing, "Well, here we are, our home of Kalay."
Matthew turned around, but everyone was already gone, all he saw was Karis' green ponytail past the corner. "Well they didn't waste any time! Hey dad, I bet I'll be the first to say hi to mom."
"You can try but you'll never…. Hey!" Matthew had already run off. Like father like son, I guess, Isaac thought.
"How did you do that, dad?" Matthew gasped as he had seen his father dash in front of him with incredible speed. They both made it to their destination.
A Jupiter Djinni, jumped out, "I gave him a hand."
"Hey that's not fair!" Matthew said to the small, but powerful, creature.
The Djinni flew into Matthew's face saying, "Heh, your one to talk, what did you do while Isaac was lost in thought? Oh I remember now, you ran ahead"
"Zephyr, Matthew, stop arguing!" Jenna had just walked in from the kitchen, she looked around, "It's so nice to see all of you again." She walked over and kissed her husband, whose face turned a bright red, "We've been married for almost thirty years and you still do that."
Isaac, still red, said "How can I help it your still so damn beautiful."
This time Jenna blushed. She walked over to her son and pulled him into a deep embrace and tears welled up in her eyes, "I'm so glad you're safe."
Isaac tapped his wife's shoulder, "Uhm, I think you're suffocating him."
"Eep!" She let go so fast, Matthew fell to the floor.
There was a knock at the door.
"Is everything OK in here, I heard a loud noise!" Jenna ran at high speed to open the door and give her best friend a hug and Mia returned it.
"Long time, no see, Mia," Isaac said as Mia and Jenna let go of each other.
"Yes it has." Mia said to Isaac.
"That's quite shocking." Jenna stated.
Isaac had finished recounting the story of Matthew, Karis, and Tyrell's journey. "And that's not all," he said.
Jenna turned to her husband, with an eyebrow raised, "Oh, really?"
Isaac started to smile, "Our son has a crush on girl."
Jenna turned to her son with fire in her eyes, "Matthew, how many times does she have to turn you down for you to understand?"
Mia and Matthew were having there own conversation. Neither had heard Jenna.
Isaac began to laugh knowing his wife's fascinations and obsessions, "Oh, I have a feeling you're going to LOVE this! He's not after Karis again, he gave her up a long time ago, she is actually…" Isaac whispered the rest of the sentence into his wife's ear.
Not even half a second later Jenna pounced onto her son, almost suffocating him again, saying "Oh, I'm so happy for you! My son might marry a beastwoman, and not only is she one of the Beastmen, she's their queen! We have GOT to invite her over for your birthday! I hope I get to meet her! I'm so happy!" Isaac couldn't stop laughing.
But the moment didn't last long.
Matthew's eyes began to glow a pure white.
Isaac jumped into action. With one swipe, Matthew was separated from his mother. Marks of the same color started to shape on his face and hands. A clear wind-like aura exuded from him, a wave of heat flowed through, and the air thickened with mist.
Suddenly, his agonized scream rang throughout Kalay. Seconds later Garet, Ivan, Sheba, Karis, and Tyrell bashed through the door, breaking it in half.
Garet first yelled to Isaac, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
Isaac, still facing his son, yelled back, "CHAOS PSYNERGY IS OUT OF CONTROL!"
Through his Mind Read Ivan spoke to Mia, Mia set up a wall. Protect Karis, Sheba, Jenna, and yourself.
Mia nodded. She pulled water out of two water skins that were tied to her waist, and dropped the water to the ground in the shape of a circle. She then pulled her Frost Wand off her back and slammed the bottom end of it into the floor. As soon as she did that an icy wall came up around the four women.
The windows shattered as rocks of many sizes flew through them.
Rocks and glass shards flew everywhere wounding all but Ivan and those behind the barrier. Garet being wounded the most from jumping in front of his son.
Isaac screamed in Ivan's direction, "DO IT!"
Ivan was ready to cast his Sleep Psynergy, when suddenly a masked man jumped behind Matthew and delivered a blow with the hilt of his Dark Sword that knocked him unconscious.
Everything began to settle down, the red marks on Matthew's face and bare hands receding under his shirt.
Mia let down the barrier then she and Jenna tended to everyone's wounds. The masked man helped with Garet. Isaac angrily yelled at the masked man, "Why must you always make such hasty decisions, you probably could've killed him!"
"Sorry Isaac," the man said, sheathing his Dark Sword before putting a hand to his mask and removing it, revealing the face of the other of the two Venus Warriors of Vale, "but do you honestly believe I would kill my own nephew."
"Felix?" Jenna said as she walked to her older brother, then hugged him tightly. "Where have you been these past twenty-seven years!" she said, tears streaming from her eyes, "I thought you were dead!"
"I missed you too sis," Felix said, "and I'm sorry, I was searching for the reasons of those vortexes, but, ugh, you're hurting me!"
"Huh? OH, I'm sorry, Felix!" Just as with Matthew, Felix fell over when Jenna let go.
Inside Matthew's bedroom, Jenna and Mia sat by his bed.
"Jenna, he has a high fever, a damaged kidney, and high muscle deterioration," the Mercury Adept said, as she scanned Matthew's body using her Psynergy.
Jenna looked at Mia, "Are you able to help him?"
"I can easily get rid of his fever and fix his kidney, but his muscles…" Mia trailed off.
Jenna looked towards her unconscious son, "So you aren't able to help him?" Tears began to streak down her face, covering the dried ones from earlier.
Mia shook her head and said, "That's not it. I can help him; however it will take some time."
Jenna looked back at Mia and asked, "How long will it take?"
"He'll be able to walk in few days," Mia answered, "however he will be crippled until I complete his healing process." She moved her hand from over Matthew's body and looked at Jenna, "Jenna, he needs very high amounts of protein, only give him meats until I say otherwise."
Jenna looked at Mia with a shocked expression, "But he needs other nutrients."
"Right now proteins are more important. Without them I can't help him. You know, from studying with Kraden, that I am unable to create muscle tissue out of nothing. Nobody is."
Isaac called a meeting.
"This is real dangerous." he said, "Someone could have died."
Felix looked at his brother-in-law and said, "But nobody did die. Garet was wounded the most and even that wasn't enough to kill him."
Ivan, who was helping Garet pull glass shards from his body without causing permanent damage, said, "But we have to do something!"
Once Garet had pulled out the last shard he said, "I don't care what we do. I just need to take Tyrell back to the Inn so Stacey can patch us up." He looked down with dread, "She's gonna have a fit when she sees us!" With that, he and Tyrell walked out the door.
Felix looked at Isaac, "Alright Isaac, I know he has use of Chaos Psynergy. What happened?"
Isaac looked over at Felix and said, "You're right. He does have use of it, but how could you tell that?"
"While I was researching the Psynergy Vortexes," Felix said, "I ran into Alex. We ended up fighting, and before I fell unconscious, he explained what Chaos Psynergy was and how he acquired it."
Ivan walked behind Felix to confirm this, but Felix stopped him, "Don't read my mind, Ivan! I am more than capable of saying what I remember."
Felix then looked back to Isaac and said, "What Alex happened was this..."
Alex looked down at the defeated Venus Adept and said, mockingly, "You were defeated in battle because I now hold the power of Chaos."
Felix tried to pull himself up using his Dark Sword, but failed, "What the hell are you talking about, Alex?"
Alex kicked Felix, causing him to roll on his back, while saying, "Chaos comes to being when Light and Dark form together. With it, I could destroy the Wise One and rule all of Weyard. And even bring her back."
Felix grabbed the bottom of Alex's blue cloak and pulled, "You're insane, Alex! How did you even gain this power!"
Alex pulled his cloak out of Felix's reach, "First, I am no longer known as 'Alex' I am now called 'Arcanus'! As for your inquiry, I was already consumed by the darkness of my greed and desires. After I completely scaled Mt. Aleph I had gained near immortality along with the power of Light, however it took two whole years for those elements to come together, and unfortunately I still do not have full immortality."
Alex held his palm towards Felix, "NOW SLEEP!"
"When I woke up, I was lying in a bed inside the Dream Tree of Kolima. All of my wounds from my fight with Alex were gone, and a note was by the bed." Felix pulled out a piece of parchment, "This is that note." He then handed the note to Ivan.
Ivan read the note out loud, "'Felix, if you wonder why you are still alive, here are minor details. After I cast sleep unto you, I brought you here in Kolima's Dream Tree, and healed you. Once again you have surprised me with your usefulness. We will see each other again, when the next Mourning Moon appears. I look forward to seeing you then. Arcanus.'"
Isaac crossed his arms, thinking, "I see." he said, "That reminds me." he turned to the Jupiter Vale Warriors, "Ivan, Sheba, are you still able to use Bind?"
Both stood and said, "Yes, we know what you need us to do!"
Karis jumped up from her seat as well and said, "Dad, please let me help! I am able to use Bind, as well!"
Sheba looked to Ivan, "I think we should let her help, Ivan."
Back in his bedroom, Mia had brought down Matthew's fever. Then she began working on his muscles, "When he wakes up he'll be very sore." she said as she worked, "Another thing, I would prefer that he is in a very deep sleep during treatment sessions."
Jenna looked at Mia and said, "Why is that?"
"The process can be very painful, but as long as he in a deep sleep he won't feel anything." Mia said, "This way, he'll be relaxed and his treatment will go much easier and faster."
"I see…"
Just then the door opened.
Karis, Ivan, Sheba, and Isaac walked in.
Jenna looked at her husband, who looked back and said, "I'm sorry Jenna."
Jenna, still focused on her husband, said, "What's going on?"
Ivan walked to Jenna and said, "We, need to perform a sealing."
"On Matthew? Why?"
Ivan placed a comforting hand on Jenna's shoulder and said, "From what Felix has told us, Chaos was destroying him. That is why we must seal most of it, otherwise this could happen again."
Jenna didn't respond.
Isaac walked to his wife, put his hand on her other shoulder, and said "Jenna, I don't like this any more than you do, but we have no choice. This is to protect him, and others around him."
Ivan, pulling his hand off of Jenna's shoulder, spoke to Mia, "Mia will you help us?"
Mia looked from her work and asked, "With the sealing?"
Ivan Scratched his head while saying, "Uhm, kinda. We need a sealing circle. After all you've had more experience with circle based Psynergies"
Mia stood up and pulled out a piece of chalk from her bag, then said, "Very well." Mia was very knowledgeable when it came to alchemy.
She drew what was needed, then said, "The preparations are almost complete. Ivan, Sheba, and Karis, please stand in the designated areas to form a triangle."
The three obeyed without question
Mia then looked at Isaac. "Isaac, place Matthew into the center with his head pointing in Ivan's direction."
Isaac did as requested.
Ivan held up his Tisiphone Edge, and said,"Now Jupiter Adepts, utter the incantation."
Karis held up her Sagittarius Bow, and Sheba held up her Meditation Rod.
All three then uttered the incantation, "Phasmatis of Alchemy, sino nos ut signum nonaginta sentio illae tener one's Chaos Psynergy."
Matthew's body began to glow blue, and slowly turned purple.
"PERMANENT BIND!" A purple insignia, the same shape as the Sealing Circle, formed as a tattoo onto the back of his right hand. The seal was complete.
Author's Notes:
Well I hope you like it so far.
I'm still holding the rename contest until chapter 7, so again, please give your suggestions along with your reviews.
The incantation for the Permanent Bind is in Latin.
Now for the responses
ForteEXEMaster: No, please criticize what needs to be (It will only make me a better writer). But thank you I will always try to be better.
Also I did intend for Matthew to seem bipolar, because (as mentioned in the last chapter) he now has use of Chaos Psynergy, which causes many things. First, he now has use of other elements of Psynergy without the need of Djinn. Second, he doesn't age anymore. Third, Chaos is Light and Dark colliding so it will cause someone's personality to change slightly, severely, or even not at all. Also, he/she could become very unstable when that happens causing a similar scene in this chapter.
My apologies if I seemed rude or offensive. I promise that I wasn't intending to be either of those.
JamesK716 : Yes. There is something that will happen later that is why I have it M rated.
Thanks for the comments but I also want criticism.
