Chapter 1
Around 1:45 in the afternoon, the telephone rang inside the Koji household. "Ryo!" Sage yelled, "Could you get that?"
"Sure," Ryo yelled back as he picked up the phone. "Hello."
"Wildfire, is that you?" The voice on the other end of the line asked.
"Cale, what's up?" Ryo replied, trying to have a normal conversation.
"I need you, Strata, Halo, Hardrock, and Torrent to come to the Nether Realm." Cale said flatly.
"Why?" Ryo answered, puzzled at Cale's flat tone of voice.
"It's just…how can I put this…we found Anubis," Cale choked out, "and we need all the remaining armor bearers to come to the funeral."
"How does 7 o'clock sound?" Ryo asked, fighting back the tears.
"Fine," Cale replied as he quickly hung up the payphone.
Ryo started to cry. Of all the times, now it had to happen. The others were trying to move on, but this phone call will just throw everyone back into the grieving cycle. Rowen walked in the kitchen and noticed that something was bothering his leader. "Ryo what's wrong?"
"They found Anubis," Ryo choked out.
Tears began to form in Rowen's eyes, "What time?"
"7 o'clock," Ryo grimaced.
"I'll tell the others," Rowen replied as he left the kitchen.
