Flarestone

Remembrance.
"JEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The redhead turned around to look at her two friends. Isaac was running towards her at breakneck speed. Garet, with his heavier body, was a little behind him, panting. Jenna shook her head, hiding a small smile. Isaac just had way too much energy for an twelve and 3/4 year old.
"Jenna!!!! Look what I found!!!!" Isaac shouted, skidding to a halt. He slipped in the mud, but fortunately, landed on his side and right arm, and not his head.* Isaac looked up at her eagerly and held out his hand. In the center on his palm was a small, perfectly round stone. It was brick red, and no bigger than one of the beads Jenna used to decorate her hair on special occasions. There was even a hole near the 'top' that would allow for a small ribbon or chain to pass through.
"Wow, Isaac," Jenna said, helping him up. "What is it?"
"A flarestone, Jenn! A real one, like my dad's!" Isaac said excitedly. Garet finally caught up with them. He had been following Isaac the hyper at a slower, safer speed.
"I found it near Mt. Aleph while the Elder on guard wasn't lookin'," Isaac explained. Mining for psystones had stopped long ago.
"Isaac, WE found it TOGETHER," Garet said between pants. "Jenna, it's a gift for your birthday."
Jenna sweatdropped, and Isaac glared at his best friend.
"Um, that's sweet Garet, but my birthday isn't for another week," Jenna said as best she could.
"You weren't supposed to tell her!" Isaac berated him. "We were going to surprise her!"
"Well," Jenna sighed. "It's the thought that counts."
Isaac turned to her. "Well, since _somebody_," Isaac glared at Garet again, who cringed. "told you already, you might as well have it."
Jenna smiled. "Thanks! I'll have to get you something as good as this, too, Isaac."
A drop of rain hit Jenna on the nose. "Huh?"
"Not another rainstorm!" Garet complained.
"There sure do seem to be a lot of them lately," Isaac commented.
"We should go home now," Jenna said. "See you guys tomorrow. Thanks for the the stone!"
Isaac snuck quietly to their secret cave. Only three people in the entire village knew about it, and the Terrible Trio, as Isaac, Jenna, and Garet had been nicknamed, were intent on keeping the location a secret. However, tonight, only one of the Trio was going to the cave. He needed to think.
Ever since the accident three years ago had happened, the cave was the only place Isaac could think.
Out loud, of course. He had been silent. For a little too long. Way too long.
Isaac cleared the fence easily. There was a hole in it, not quite obvious, but there. He crammed his body through the cave entrance. The thing about the cave was that it got bigger the farther in he went.
But someone was already in here. Or had been. The reed candle was still lit. In the wake its illumination, Isaac saw a tiny, red bead. On the side, he saw the character of Jenna's name painted delicately on the side. Jenna was always really good at calligraphy.
Isaac sat down next to the candle and reached for the flarestone. He played with it a bit, before knotting it in his own hair, and blowing out the candle. Whatever he had come to think about was lost in the hollowed darkness of the cave. He crawled out.
Tomorrow, after he mended the roof and Kraden's lessons, he would return Jenna's flarestone.
*Yes, although it seems odd, that's the way to fall on your side. You just have to remember to keep your arm OUT from under you. *Meelu rubs her arm as she grins weakly.*
AN: Chocolate to whoever got all the inside story jokes. I have the 7th chapter for The Birdy. However, ff.n doesn't like me and my chaptering abilities are all freaky.
Remembrance.
