Author's note: Hi again! It's been ages since I've written a chapter. Here's some wise words: always take the weather with you...unless you happen to be British. I could really do with some reviews because Celestial Secrets has been out for about a month but I've only gotten 3 reviews and one hasn't shown up on the website yet! Not to mention that 2 reviews were from my brother. I've had 60 views so far, 29 from the US and 19 from the UK (from my hometown, memories, are fresh (sorry went Adele on you))! I'm desperate for a review, even if it's "Mel needs a haircut, Luke's an eejit, YOU look like a duck!" Pwease?

Anyways, ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 2. The knight of Wight.

"Aaron! Get up or we'll leave without you!" Mel was shaking my shoulders violently. Why was she trying to get me up? And where was she going? Then I remembered, Izzy. I shot out of bed and collided with Mel. She fell back and landed ever so 'gracefully' on her backside.

"Sorry, Mel." I said, rubbing my nose to take away the pain. She then cast heal on it and I felt much better.

"It's alright, I'm a priest, doughbrain." She laughed. We then proceeded to drag Luke out of bed. Two new bruises later, he was up and in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Mel had already brushed her teeth (she was up at 7) so I left her to grab us some breakfast while I joined Luke and my patiently waiting toothbrush.

5 MINUTES LATER...

Mel came through with some porridge with strawberries and blueberries for me, warm bread and honey for her and some sausages and cooked tomatoes for Luke along with 3 steaming mugs of hot chocolate. The porridge was delicious and the hot chocolate gave me a massive boost of energy. It was amazing what a lump of chocolate in hot milk could do for you in the morning. Patty's cooking was second to none! I made a note to myself to pack some chocolate for my travels. We could get milk easily enough. Soon we were finished with breakfast, packed and ready to go. We received hugs from Patty, Erinn and Ginny. It dawned on me that they were really going to miss us. We were the first 3 hopefuls and role-models to the others as well as the kids in Stornway. Patty gave Luke a kiss on the cheek and his face went as red as Mel's hair. Mel and I exchanged a grin before Luke walked over to us and punched us lightly to show his annoyance at us. Izzy then came up to us.

"OK, here's our plan," she began. "The earthquake caused a huge explosion in my homeland and somehow launched me all the way to Angel Falls. I was lucky that I had been trying on some strong armour at the time. They took the blast and got incinerated before me. I'm now stuck getting back home so we'll just explore the Protectorate, helping people as we go and if I manage to find a way home I'll unfortunately have to take it. Also, some of my clan - yes I'm from a clan - aren't very welcoming to foreigners and they're the leaders so I'll have to make the journey alone. But don't worry, I've signed your Project Party Graduation Forms so when I leave, you 3 are a fully licensed team and can even recruit party members of your own. But Patty says that you're always welcome to come back and live in the the Hopefuls House or even stay there for a few days! Are we all clear?" Izzy's explanation of how she got to Angel Falls was anything but 100% believable but I couldn't think of a better theory so I just went along with it. We all nodded. "Good! Coz I'm not explaining it again!" Replied Izzy merrily. "Now, let's go help people!"

We hadn't gone more than a few paces from the inn when we heard the gentle notes of lute being strummed and a young man's voice drifting through the air. He was singing a sad song. It went like this:

"The Knight of Wight is tormenting the town,
He asked for the princess but we turned him down.
He waits at the Loch for the girl kind and fair,
Will some heroes help us or shall we despair?"

It sounded like a plea for help and a good chance to help people. I reckoned Izzy would be glad a the fact that we were already level 10 like her and she wouldn't have to bother with training us up to a good level. We wandered over to the bard who was singing by the signpost. The sign said almost the exact same thing and told us that we needed to go to the castle to say we were going to help. We followed the sign's instructions and told the guards on patrol that we had come to defeat the Knight of Wight which we were told was actually called the Wight Knight. The guards let us in like we were guests as a grand banquet. Inside the palace, we got told that the king would see us soon but for the meantime to explore the castle. We wandered upstairs to the sick ward where there was a soldier in bed trying to catch what seemed to be an imaginary fly. The medic told us that he had been traumatised by the Wight Knight and was suffering from mental instability episodes and, when he wasn't going mental, he was in a deep sleep. We decided to move on and were making our way back over to the stairs when he grabbed Izzy's arm.

"You have such beautiful hair," he warbled. "It's a dark blue like, oh, what's it called? It's big and fish urinate in it. The Sea! That's it!" He picked up a flower by his bedside, no doubt sent by a mother or wife and held it out to her. "Here you are," he continued. "Take it, it's a token of my infection. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I mean affection. MYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Aren't I silly? I saw under the Knight's mask you know. He's a corpse. But no one believes me. They think I'm crazy. Do you?" He then started twitching uncontrollably. We left him to his rambling and descended the marble stairs.

Suddenly, a booming voice rang through the castle. "IZZY, AARON, MEL AND LUKE! THE KING WILL SEE YOU NOW!"

Author's note: DRAMATIC ENDING! I think you've gathered that I'm pretty good at building up suspense and tension. Now, down to business. I've decided that I'm going to wait for a total of 10 reviews (my brother doesn't count) before I write the next chapter. So far I have 1. I know it sounds arrogant but I need to know what I'm doing well and what I need to improve. Don't think that someone else will write a review so you needn't or else I'll get no reviews and you'll have to wait ages for a chapter. Its not even hard. All you have to do is type a screen name in (you could use your twitter name or your Club Penguin name, I'm really not bothered.) and write a sentence or two. If you need an example just read D's or my brother's.

I'm counting on you.
