Chapter 4
When we left Ness he was being affected by the strange new power of the Mani Mani Statue. Paula had taken Ness back to her house, but what was truly going on with Ness? And what is the strange new evil the Master has felt? Read on…
Dalaam
The clouds surrounding Dalaam were a dark black. Above the sun was blotted out. The peaceful country was under siege! Fires burned everywhere on the flying continent to provide light. At times beams of light pierced the sky bringing with it the foes of peace.
Prince Poo had been awake for the past 3 days. He stood wearily in from of the Palace casting spells to drive away the terrors. The Master stood inside watching the noble prince. He knew Poo would not be able to keep this up much longer. Soon Dalaam would fall. Figuratively and literally.
Winters
Jeff had gone home for the term. The school had shut down for the fall season. Back at Dr. Andounts lab, he was welcomed by a hug along with a steaming hot mug of chocolate and custard-filled doughnuts. Jeff sat in his room reading an advanced physics book.
A crash came from downstairs. Jeff jumped out of his bed and ran downstairs. He had found since returning home that his dad was somewhat clumsy. Dr. Andounts was lying under a pile of parts. Jeff ran over and helped move the parts of him.
"Hmm! That cabinet did seem to be a little unsteady." Dr. Andounts said. Jeff just shook his head. Dr. Andounts didn't seem too phased by the crash as he walked over to his desk and picked up a jelly doughnut.
Jeff walked back up to his room to resume his studying. After the accident Jeff couldn't turn his thoughts from his friends back in South Eagleland. He missed them dearly and wanted to visit them badly. Then suddenly Jeff remembered something.
The Sky Runner! It was sitting downstairs just waiting to go. Jeff grabbed a backpack, filled it with some books and clothes and ran downstairs for the Sky Runner.
"Dad I'm going to visit Ness. See ya in a few days!" Jeff quickly yelled out.
"Be careful." Dr. Andounts said. Jeff climbed into the Sky Runner and started it up. It took off quite smoothly today and flew towards Onett. Jeff sat back while the Sky Runner flew towards Onett. Suddenly the Sky Runner sputtered.
Jeff suddenly felt the Sky Runner falling. Jeff opened a panel beside him and quickly tried to get power back to the Sky Runner. Just as Jeff heard a renewing hum in the engines the Sky Runner splashed into the ocean and began to sink.
Twoson
Ness lied on Paula's couch silently. He was fast asleep. Whatever had been bothering him seemed to not affect him while he was sleeping. Little did Paula know about the true battle brewing within Ness.
Outside storms clouds were growing. A small rumbling could be heard from outside. In the distance lightning flashed brilliantly. The lightning grew brighter as the storm grew closer. Soon it became obvious this was no ordinary storm.
The winds outside were very violent and the lightning was almost blinding. The cracks of thunder shook the very foundation of the preschool. The lights in the preschool had blown out and Paula's parents had gone upstairs to get some candles.
A clash of thunder blast so loud it seemed like it was right inside the house. It was accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning. When Paula's parents got back downstairs Paula was gone. Ness still laid on the couch, but now his eyes were wide open. The look he gave was like he was in a far way land…
What's going on with the Chosen Four? Will Poo be able to hold off the invaders of Dalaam? What happened with the Sky Runner and is Jeff still alive? Where is Paula and why does Ness have a far away look in his eyes? Find out in chapter 5 of The Seed of Giygas!
