To the Light

Author's Notes:
The Second Navigation. Ah, feels like home already! There is really not much to say, so I'll go ahead and write up a disclaimer so I don't get sued for.. something.
Disclaimer:
I don't in any way own any of the characters, places, objects or anything involved in this story. Heh, I don't even own Leon's suitcase. But, I am trying to bid on them on eBay for 0.01 but.. someone has outbid me.. times two! Oh! And if I owned them.. the world wouldn't be standing. That's probably why I can't have them, anyway.
Feh. Read on.

The night went smoothly. Opera and Bowman cooked a great dinner for everyone. Sushi was one of Opera's cooking specialties she picked on their great adventure, since catching fish was Bowman's pride. After dinner, they all sat around and talked for a while.
"I'm so happy for you two," Precis noted, taking a sip of her tea. Ashton, who sat beside her, took another bite of one of his rolls. Opera was stirring her tea with her finger, and Bowman was watching her affectionately. Leon tugged on one of his lab coat's strings.
After bidding goodbye to Opera and Bowman, Leon, Precis and Ashton walked home. They all went to bed as soon as they reached the house.
Leon slept comfortably. The sheets on the bed in the guest room were even better than the ones he'd slept on while living in the Lacour Castle! It was already 9:00 when Leon woke up. That only left.. 9 hours to play! He knew. He calculated the time himself. Sliding out of bed, he tossed off his nightclothes, and reached into his suitcase. He chose his black shorts, yellow tunic and white lab coat for clothing today. (Like he doesn't wear that every day? -__-; )
When he made it downstairs, Gaft had already cooked up a delicious breakfast of pancakes, sausage, eggs and orange juice. Carrot Juice for Leon, of course. After they finished, Precis and Leon headed for the garage to start working on some machine they'd dreamed up the night before.
"Hey, Leon, pass me that screwdriver," Precis asked as she hovered over the small experiment the two were working on. Leon handed her the screwdriver, he looked over a few minerals given to them by Bowman the night before.
Leon turned to his PIC (Partner in Crime) and held up a shiny green mineral. "So, what is our machine going to do?" He studied it for a minute before putting it back in the pile lying on the table.
Precis shrugged. "Take the dragons off Ashton's back without killing them?" She guessed. Leon looked back to the pile of rocks, and picked up another one. This one had a faint blue glow to it.
"Precis, look at this. This mineral is glowing. Blue. Like the Sorcery Globe did," He studied it a minute longer before passing it to his friend. She studied it as well. "Do you think that this could be a remnant of the Sorcery Globe? Like, a piece that got away?"
Precis shook her head once more. "Don't be silly, Leon. That thing was completely destroyed." Leon set the mineral down and looked away. Precis began chinking back at the machine that lay lifeless on the table.
Soon enough, Ashton appeared at the door. "Hey, lets bid farewell to Opera and Bowman," He pushed a button, and the cover of the garage door lifted. "Come on. Lets go."
The three met Opera and Bowman at the front gate of Linga. Bowman handed Ashton the key to the Pharmacy. "Lock it up every night, Ashton," he warred. Ashton agreed, and gave Bowman a hug.
"You two have fun on your honeymoon," Ashton wished, and then turned to Opera. "We'll take good care of the Pharmacy. We promise."
Precis jumped up into Opera's arms and gave her a big hug. "Good luck, you guys!" She turned to Bowman and did the same.
Leon nodded. "Yes. In hopes of an effective marriage." He smiled, and gave both Opera and Bowman a hug. "Good luck Uncle Bowman and Aunt Opera," He stepped back, and smiled. Opera laid a reassuring pat on his head.
"Don't worry, kiddo," Opera confided. "It'll be great." As she and Bowman turned to walk out of Linga, two new people entered. Masked by shadows. Bowman and Opera stopped to look at the two entering.
Leon peered at the newcomers, and something overcame him. Something was familiar about those two shadows. It was almost scary in a sense. The two newcomers lingered in the shadows a bit more, before stepping out into the light.
"Brother Dias! Brother Ernest!" Leon lunged at the two travelers, and latched himself onto Dias' leg. "I never thought I'd see you again!"
Precis smiled. "Dias. Ernest. What brings you two back to Linga?" She took a step forward, and Ashton followed.
Dias looked over to Precis, and with a smirk, responded. "Its El."
Ernest nodded, and looked to Ashton, Opera, and Bowman. "We all need to sit down and talk. Quickly. Before something terrible happens,"
Bowman and Opera looked to each other, then nodded. "You're right. If something's wrong we need to get on it right away. Lets go," Bowman led the small group back to the Pharmacy.

I know this Navigation was pretty short, but don't worry. It all adds up to something better in the next Navigation. Trust me, it'll be good.
