Chapter 8
"Gaya! Where's Gaya?" Miss Zena, tore through the door to Gaya's home, taking with her all the dust and sand from the outside in.
"I'm right here, what is it?" Gaya sighed at her sister. She could see for goodness sakes, does she really need to come tearing in her if she knew I'd be doing laundry?
Zena struggled to catch her breath, gasping out syllables as her chest heaved up and down.
"Norkio….kidnapped…Sky demon…wants Ennamarna…"
Sucessfully catching Gaya's attention, Gaya whipped her sister into a chair and demanded she started at the beginning. Zena explained that her vision started with Izark breaking down the door with a bound Noriko in tow, demanding for Gaya the Grey Bird Tribe Warrior. She tried to explain how Izark wasn't acting like himself, like he didn't recognize Gaya and was cruel to Noriko. Gaya's eye's widened when she heard Zena describe the battle between herself and Izark, and her eventual capture.
"That's all I saw, I don't know anything else." Zena sounded frusterated and defeated. She loved her sister dearly, and knew that she loved Izark like a son. She hated bringing her sister such a horrible prophesy. She was about to apologize when her head snapped up and her eyes went blank, with no expression. Gaya knew the look well and patiently waited for Zena to come back and explain her vision.
"They're coming, now."
Gaya stood up to get her sword.
"Wait there's more, it's not Izark, it can't be. I'm so confused, but now I saw Izark coming to look for you, and you weren't here. He says he needs Gaya's help in saving Noriko."
Gaya looked at her sister confused. "Two Izarks?" Zena nodded.
"If the second Izark needs you, you must not be captured by the first. Now it was Gaya's turn to nod. "I'll stay here and pretend to be you, while you go and gather the rest of the Council of Light to save Noriko."
Gaya fiercely shook her head. "No, I'm the warrior, you could be hurt."
"Exactly! That's why you need to be here when the second Izark needs you!"
Gaya sighed. She didn't like it, but she knew her sister was right. It was the only way.
"They come! You must go, I will not be able to hold them off for long."
"I'll come get you. I promise, and I'll bring help!" With that Gaya was out the door.
Zeena barely had a chance to straighten up the kitchen before a frightened Noriko burst through the door.
"GAYA!!"
Umi-chan- see I told you I'd get it up faster! On to the next chapie!
