Feel free to review people, I don't bite. Sorry if I sounded mean, I was still in my writing mode.^^ Anyway, here's another chap.
He swings his purple phantoblade at the over grown Bingledip, but the beast dodges it. It launches it's claws at Riven, but déjà vu flashes before his eyes and he doesn't block the attack. Riven is thrown back and collides into a large tree. The leaves from the tree fall from it's branches and land on his hurt body. He looks over himself, nothing broken, but his thick, long sleeve shirt has some discoloration around the three slashes in the middle. "If I can't beat this…little beast, then I have no right to call…myself a specialist." Riven takes a breath and raises his phantoblade, then he charges at the seven foot tall monster.
Back at Alfea the girls walk into their new dorm as teachers, tired from showing Roxy around, they sit on their couches. Bloom stretches her arms in the air as she yawns. Stella and Flora both lay as they try to sleep. Tecna, though tired, texts Timmy. Layla, still sad about losing Nabu, walks to her room and shuts the door. While Musa, folds her arms across her chest as she thinks about how Riven acted. "What is with him?!" She can't figure out how she feels. Musa's mad that he didn't kiss her goodbye, let alone hug her. She's sad, because he's barely talked her since they got back together.
Bloom breaks Musa from her thoughts. "Maybe you should ask him Musa. I mean, you two did agree to be more open and honest with each other. Didn't you?" Musa snaps her fingers at Bloom's suggestion. "You're right, I'll call him." She takes out her phone and presses 2. There's no ringing, instead it goes to voice mail. 'Hey, it's Riven. Leave a message.' Mad that Riven doesn't have his phone on, Musa hangs up. She shuts her phone and lays it on the table in front of her. "His phone is off." Stella opens her eyes. "Wow, I would be so worried if my honeybear didn't have his phone on." Stella gives a soft yawn before she picks her self up in a sitting position. "Though, now that you mention it, I want to know what he's doing." Stella takes out her phone and calls Brandon. Tecna bits her lip as she reads the text Timmy just sent. "Ah, Musa. Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?" All the girls look at Tecna. Musa thinks for a bit, before she decides. "Good news." Musa answers hopefully.
Placing her phone in her pocket, away from Musa's grasp, Tecna answers. "He left Red Fountain shortly after they arrived." Muas's eyes widen and she jumps to her feet. "What? Why did he leave?" She starts to pace around the room as she bites her nails. Flora turns to Tecna. "How is that good news?" But before Tecna can answer, Stella beats her to it. "He didn't tell anyone where he was going or when he would be back!" Tecna glares at Stella for her bluntness. Bloom walks over to Musa and tries to comfort her. "Don't worry about him Musa, I mean he is a Specialist and he's trained to good off to various places. Right?" Musa nods her head, but she still has scowl on her face. "But why didn't he tell me? Hell, he didn't even say goodbye!" She throws her arms up in the air and stomps to her room. Tecna sighs as she casts a look to Stella. "That could have been handled better." Stella shrugs off Tecna's innuendo. "No sense beating around the bush, plus no matter what we said would have changed the fact that he's not at Red Fountain. Now that I think about it, he might not even be in Magix by now."
Since the attack by the Bingledip, the sun begun to set. Soon darkness will surround Riven and he hasn't treated the gashes on his chest yet. As he walks, Riven sees an old split tree to his right. "Good…I finally found it." Taking a few deep breathes, Riven stuffs his hand in his pocket in search for that piece of paper he showed Helia. "After the…split tree, I go left and there should be a…clearing and there will be a statue." Riven folds the paper and returns it back to his pant pocket.
After twenty minutes, Riven arrives at a clearing. Though that's all he sees. No statue, sounds or even trees. "Maybe I haven't gone…far enough?" He flinches as the pain in his chest is getting worst and the blood isn't drying as quickly as he would hope. Riven lays his hand on his wound and applies presser, so the blood can start to clot. From walking all this way and that fight with the beast, not to mention his losing blood, Riven starts to feel light headed. Before he knows it, he passes out on the ground and his hands lands on a stone. Just as his eyes closed, a bright light shined and Riven's body disappeared.
At the same time at Red Fountain Sky says his goodbye to his girl friend as he walks into the dorm he shares with Brandon for a little while longer. Brandon puts down his weights as Sky lays his phone on the table. "So, how was your conversation?" Sky gave a half laugh as he shook his head. "Did Stella tell you that we need to find out where Riven went to or that we should have done more to stop him or that we should have told them sooner?" Brandon raises his finger to his chin, as he acts like he's in deep thought. "No, but I guess that's what Bloom told you?" Sky sighs, as he nods his head. "Sometimes I wonder how the girls view our friendship, I mean we are friends and fight together. But really, which one of us can make Riven listen to him?"
Brandon, once again does his thinking pose. "That would be Nabu, but he's not here anymore." Sky nods his head as he gets his things for a shower. "Exactly, but Bloom doesn't like that answer. So we are going after him." Brandon nods his head, but just as he picks up his weights, he thinks of something. "Are the girls coming too?" Just as Sky is about to shut the door, he turns his head. "Nope, they're teachers now, remember?" Brandon nods his head, as he thinks of some of the common areas Riven goes to train in Magix.
