Rio : The 10 Power Stones
Book 1 : The Fire Stone
Chapter 7 : Destiny
Bia woke up with slight pain in her head she looked around and realized that she was at her tribe's medical hollow. She looked around and saw her dad next to her. She tried to move but couldn't. She knew she was awake but she was paralyzed, frozen on the spot. Suddenly an orange bird appeared next to her and she was frighted and wanted to scream but couldn't. Then the orange bird spoke to her in a soothing voice.
"Don't worry little one. I won't hurt you. Im just a friend of your father. I ask you to deliver him a message from me. Is that okay?" Said the orange macaw.
Bia tried to nod but couldn't. The orange macaw realized this and said...
"I'll take your silence as a yes. Tell him to meet me, Jack, at the clay banks at midnight. Okay. That's all, see you again soon."
Then Jack left the medical hollow and left Bia and Blu alone again. Then Bia suddenly could move again. She rubbed her head and looked at her father, who was still unconcious.
"Dad?" She said trying to wake him up.
To her surprise it worked and Blu started to move. Blu opened his eyes and saw Bia looking at him. He rubbed his head with his wings and spoke to her.
"Bia? Where are we?" He said while rubbing his head.
"Were at the medical hollow dad. Don't worry." She said to calm her father.
"Why are you here then? (Gasp) Were you hurt?!? What happened?!?" Blu said as he worried about his daughter's condition.
"Dad. Don't worry. Im fine. Just a headache. That's all." Assured Bia.
"Well? What happened while I was asleep?" Asked Blu to his daughter with a smile.
"Well... I actually don't know. After you passed out I brought you to mom and she brought you to aunt Mimi. But while you were gone I read the scroll and it was full of giberish. Then Carla tried to get out of the hollow but mom told me to not let anyone out so I told her to stay inside. Then Tiago also tried to go out and I tried to stop him but I also got a massive headache and passed out too. Then when I woke up I was here." Explained Bia.
"Oh. So you passed out too. Im sorry honey. I shouldn't have gotten you involved in this." Blu said sadly.
"No. Don't worry dad. Im fine. Im the one who wanred to help you." Assured Bia.
Then Bia heard the sound of flapping and turned around to see her mother, Jewel, flying into the hollow.
"Ahhhh. I see you two are awake." She said before punching Blu in the stomach with.
"Owwww!" Screamed Blu. "What was that for? I just woke up you know!"
"That's for what happened! What did you guys do? I was so worried for you guys." Said Jewel angrily.
Blu spoke while wincing in pain.
"I just asked our daughter if she could help me with my... condition. Said Blu sadly.
"Then why didn't you just ask me?" Jewel asked angrily.
"Because... (sigh) I think Bia is you know... smarter than you." Said Blu nervously.
Jewel, outraged by her husband's comment, got even angrier and started to shout.
"So are you saying I'm dumb! Is that that you're saying? Huh?" Shouted Jewel.
"No! That's not what I meant!" Blu tried to speak to her but she didn't listen to him.
While the two adults were fighting, Bia got fed up by the arguement and decided to stop them before it escalated any further.
"Mom! Dad! Stop fighting! This is pointless! Mom. What dad means is that Im more into mysteries than you! Okay!" Bia shouted at her parents to get them to stop fighting.
Blu and Jewel stopped fighting and looked at their daughter for a moment then looked at each other with ashamed looks. They stood there in complete silence for a few seconds until Blu started to apologize to Jewel.
"Look ummm... Jewel. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I-" Said Blu before he was interrupted by Jewel who put her wings around him to hug him.
After a minute or two they let go and Jewel started to apologize to Blu because she knew she wronged him by overreacting.
"No Blu. I'm the one who should apologize. I'm the one who overreacted there. I was just so worried for you and Bia and I was just "sad-mad" that you didn't trust me enough to help me. But it doesn't matter now. All that matters is that you are both safe and sound." Jewel explained. "So. All I'm saying is that I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
Blu smiled in happiness knowing that their fight was over and they were gonna forgive each other.
"How could I say to you, my beautiful gem of the forest." Blu said before putting Jewel into a passionate kiss.
After a while they broke the kiss and took a look at Bia who saw the whole thing and was crying.
"Bia? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Asked Blu to his daughter.
"Yeah. I'm alright. I was just touched by you love for each other. That's all." Answered Bia.
"Do you want a hug? After all you were the one who made us stop fighting." Said Jewel.
"Sure. I would like that." Said Bia happily before running towards her parents putting them in a big hug.
After they broke the hug Blu told the rest that they should start heading home to sleep which they did.
While Bia was dreaming she saw Jack again in a dark void just like Blu had.
"Hello Bia." Said Jack happily at her.
"Umm... Hi Jack." Said Bia nervously.
"Hmmm... Bia are you still scared of me?" Asked Jack.
"Ummm... kinda." Answered Bia.
"Bia." He chuckled. "Don't worry I won't hurt you. I'm just here to help you and your father."
"What? Why me?" Asked Bia.
"It's because it's your destiny to help your father." Replied Jack. "Oh! And I'm here to remind you to tell your father that he will need to meet me at the clay banks at midnight."
"Sure. But how am I gonna wake up?" Asked Bia.
"I know how. But I'm sorry for this." Replied Jack.
"What do you me-" Said Bia but was cut of by a shriek so terrifying that it could give a demon nightmares.
Bia woke up with a jolt and looked around. She was in her family's hollow. Then she went to her father a tried to wake her up in which she was successful.
"Dad. Wake up. I have to tell you something." Said Bia.
"Ughhhh. What is it sweetie?" Asked Blu, who was rubbing his eyes with his wings.
"Do you know anyone with the name of Jack?" Asked Bia to her father.
Blu was surprised to know that name but didn't show it.
"Yes. What about that name?" Answered Blu nervously.
"Well he told me to tell you that you should go to the clay banks at midnight. And I was wondering if... I could come too. If that's okay with you?" Said Bia.
Blu smiled before replying.
"Sure sweetie. You can come with me." Blu looked at the beautiful night sky which was filled with stars and had no clouds in sight. But he also saw that the moon was almost at it's highest peak. "Well. We should get going so we wont go late."
Bia nodded in response. Then they flew out of the hollow towards the clay banks to meet Jack the orange macaw.
