the story.
Menardi awoke to find her self in the room of a well furnished inn. The bed she currently occupied was most comfortable, though not as exquisite as the one she had back home. As she was pondering this, a headache, worse than she had ever had, hit her full force. It took her a minute to realize that the pain she was experiencing wasn't from a headache but from something… different. She felt as though a dirty hand was shifting through her mind, finding all of her secrets. Letting out a scream of pain, the shifting stopped and she saw Alex step into view from behind the door.
"What the hell was that for!" Menardi cried at Alex as she got up from the bed.
"Calm down, Menardi." Alex chuckled trying to get her to quite down. "All I did was re-experience the battle you had with our little… hero's. I couldn't do it while you were or Saturos were asleep and I knew that if I asked, neither of you would permit me."
"That isn't a excuse, that was a invasion of privacy is I ever saw one. You could of easily asked…"The fire adept trailed off as she looked around the room. "Where's Saturos?"
"He's fine," Alex assured her. "Just in a different room for the time being. And for me asking, well both of us know you wouldn't tell me all of details."
"You don't need the details!" Menardi fumed. "If it wasn't for me and Saturos you would still be in that gods forsaken town. You owe us, Alex. You and Felix both-"
"I owe you nothing." Alex said, cutting her off. "Now if you don't mind I have other matters to attend to, if you want there's a eating area down the hall and to the left. If you would excuse me?" Alex left without another word, leaving a speechless Menardi alone in the room. Walking down the dimly lit hall, he stopped suddenly as he heard a voice from behind him.
"You know Alex, Menardi was right. You don't need to know the details." Saturos said in a most smug way.
"Well Saturos, if it wasn't for me than you would still be at the bottom of that light house, dead. Not that I didn't think about leaving you down there." Alex responded, a light tone of amusement in his voice.
"And why didn't you? Really I'm curious, you could of had Felix all to your self and have Menardi wait on you hand and foot." Alex looked at the taller fire adept in pure shock. "What you think I don't know what you do with that little slut we picked up from gutter? Please Alex, spare me. It's obvious, even Menardi has it somewhat figured out." Saturos cocked his head at Alex, giving him a look of pure malice.
"What I do is none of your business, Saturos. Keep your life out of mine and maybe we'll be able to get rid of those kid's before they do any real damage." Alex shot back at him.
"Well your right about one thing, we really need to rid our self of those children… although I believe that maybe I should let you handle it. Considering the fact that I was defeated when facing them." Saturos drawled out .
"Not very likely, my dear friend," Alex said. "If we let them live than we risk losing the location of the elemental star they currently posses, though you are right about letting me handle them."
"Very well, now that we have that decided I can get something to eat. I'm famished." Saturos finished with a wave of his hand going to find the eating area. Saturos disappeared into the darkness of the hall, making Alex feel as though he had lost everything.
If only I had put the binder on him, he wouldn't be this cocky, Alex thought to himself, fists clutched.
"Alex, I need something to wear, this old battle armor is useless now," Alex turned to see Menardi leaning against the door way. That bitch had already forgotten about what had transpired only five minutes ago!
"Well are you going to something about it or just stand there daydreaming!" Menardi cried in disgust.
"Menardi, there's a dress in the dresser across from your bed," Alex sighed. "I'll be back later, in the meantime don't burn anything, better yet just don't go out of the inn." Alex left her, the same way Saturos had left him. Brushing his way past her, he made his way toward the eating area, fully prepared to force Saturos if he had to. Walking into the eating area, he was pleased to find that Saturos was finishing up.
"Saturos, I want you to find those little brats. If you can I want you to bring their leader here." Alex said to Saturos, as he himself hunted for something to eat.
"Sure thing, 'boss'. But don't think you can order me around just because you're stronger then me, Alex. I want you to know that once I return to full strength I'll be taking over again." Saturos shot back at him, getting up from the table. "Than I'll just be on my way." And with that Saturos left the room.
"If he thinks he'll be taking over this little 'expedition' again, he is sorely mistaken" Alex muttered under his breath, finally finding a piece of bread to munch on. Looking up through the skylight he was pleased to see that the sky was darkening over with storm clouds. Saturos hated the rain, but he hated failing in what he set out to do even more. Smiling at the fate the gods had set upon him, he proceeded in finalizing his plans for the upcoming months. First and foremost he had to get his hands on that kid Isaac. With him he would not only get the others, but he would finally find out the secrete to the Djinn. He had known that from the first time he laid eyes on the Earth adept that he would be able to summon the Djinn. There was a trick to it, he had just never known what it was, at fist Alex had suspected that the Djinn stayed with the humans who had claimed them. But no, they stayed on a alternate plane and when called upon they would come to defend them. And the more Djinn a person had, the more powerful spirits the Djinn could summon. Spirits so powerful that they could destroy the world… just what Alex needed.
A/N: You have no idea how much this story sucked, wait yeah you do you just read it. Anyway, I know all of you want to know what happened to Ivan and Mia. Don't worry I'll get to them next chapter. Just so you know this is what I call a fill-in chapter, where I (the author) get to explain to the reader the little things that make this story interesting in the chapters to come. And as most things go these kind of chapters are a bore to read, but necessary to move on with the story. So know I hope this wasn't too bad, and that it won't stop you from reading the rest of it. Don't forget to R&R! (though this chapter doesn't deserve it)
