Chapter four: A Wayfinder

Terra was running with no idea why. He felt something deep inside him. Like call or whisper. Suddenly he stopped and hid behind the bush. He noticed those creatures again, pulling a covered wagon.

Meanwhile, Ven was inside that wagon, trying to get out. When he almost lost all his faith, he remembered one thing.
The Wayfinder that Aqua gave him just a week ago. He could imagine her words.

"What's this?" Ven asked.
"It's Wayfinder" Aqua answered.
"It's so mysterious" Ven said.
"It's beceuse I put some magic on it. To keep you save" Aqua said.
"But, how do I use it?" Ven asked.
"When you're in big trouble, just open your heart and think about things that make you happy" Aqua answered.
"Thanks, sis!" Ven said.

The Wayfinder was in his pocket. He had closed his eyes and thought about Aqua and Terra. All happy moments, when they were training, talking or exploring. His green wayfinder started to glow. Net was slowly disappearing. Ven, finnaly free, walked towards the exit. But he fell on the ground. His legs were still tied up! He tried to use Wayfinder again, but it didn't work. Ven sighed. Even though he had tied up legs, he tried to jump off wagon.

At the same moment Terra attacked the creatures. They were yelling on him. Terra casted some thunder and fire spells on them. Creatures blocked most of the spells, but one hit wagon. It exploded! Ven jumped from it, just before spell hit it. Terra noticed him at the same time Ven did.

"Ven!" Terra yelled.

But Ven rolled downwards the valley directly into a river. Ven was pretty good swimmer, but he couldn't swam with tied legs. He was drowing and riverflow was very strong.

"Terra, help!" Ven yelled with a mouth full of water.
"I'm comin' Ven!" Terra said and ran towards the river.

He almost reached it, when four creatures blocked his way.

"Out of my way" Terra yelled and destroyed the nearest one.

He was destroying one after another. Ven saw how Terra is trying to save him. His lungs were full of water. He looked at Terra for one last time and close his eyes. When Terra destroyed all creatures, Ven was long gone.

The river took him.
