Chapter Two
Kit's P.O.V.
The next morning, I woke Kay up and we went down to the kitchen for breakfast. Kiona and Koby were already there, and they had saved us seats.
"Good morning!" Kiona said, cheerfully.
"Yeah, morning." Koby greeted.
Kay yawned. "What's for breakfast?"
"Whatever you want." I said.
"How 'bout some toast?" Kiona offered.
"Sure." me and Kay sat down and Kay went through 5 pieces of toast. In all the time I'd known her, I'd never seen her eat so little.
"Kay, something wrong?" I was a little concerned.
"I..." Kay said, looking distant, "don't know." then she fainted on me again.
"Kay," I shook her gently. "Kay, wake up. Kay!" I started to panic.
"Oh dear, not again." Kiona said, no help at all.
"Miridien to Kay, come in Kay. Wake Up!" I yelled. The dining hall, or at least our table quieted. Oy. Now what? I thought to myself. Now everyone's staring. Great. "D'arvet." I swore.
~*~ D'arvet would mean Damn it in English ~*~
"Kit, now none of that." Koby told me. Just then, another young mage in a green dress and a silver cloak came over.
"Hello, I saw that you are having trouble with your companion?"
"Er-yes, but-" I began.
"Don't worry. I'll help her." she had a slight tinge of light green in her mostly dark green hair and had malachites for eyes. She must be a flower mage.
"Um, that won't be necessary. She'll be fine." I said. I don't always trust flower mages. Too talkative.
"Oh, okay, well, I'm Kiah. Kiah Darkness. I'm a color mage, specializing in Flower magic. Who are you?"
"Kit Demonslayer. Color mage, specializing in Ice. And she's Kay Dragonleader," I indicated Kay, lying in my lap. "She's also a color mage on the Ice side of things."
"Koby Demonchild. Color mage with fire in his blood." Koby introduced himself.
"Last but not least, I am Kiona Dracosa. Color mage, specializing in Fire."
"Kiiiiiiiiiit. What happened?" Kay sat up. "Who are you?" she saw Kiah.
"Kiah Darkness, color mage, a daughter of the earth."
"Oh." she narrowed her eyes. She didn't like Flower mages either. "Oh well. That was a very strange dream."
"What happened?" the four of us said in unison.
"Well, I'm standing and there are eight people standing in front of me. Four are girls, four are boys. You're there," she pointed to Kiona, "and you." she pointed to Koby. "And you." she pointed to Kiah, "and you." she finally pointed to me. "In one voice you all said, 'find us and we will help you with your cause.' then I woke up."
"Find us..." Koby began.
"And we will help you..." Kiona continued.
"With your cause..." Kiah finished.
"What in the Lady's name is that suppose to mean?" I said.
"I don't know." Kay said.
I sat and thought about what it could possibly mean.
"Hmm..." Kay said to herself. "Well the only thing that doesn't make sense is what my cause is. I assume that I will find out somehow, and when I do, I'll have to find the other two mages I haven't found yet. And they'll most likely be color mages. Say, Kiah, do you know any color mages?" she turned to Kiah.
"Yes, actually. Two. They're a pair of Lightning mages. Kipp and Kali."
"They must be the ones! Are they here?"
"Yes, I think so..." the Flower mage was starting to bug me.
"Where!?" Kay was jumping with excitement.
"Um..." Kiah scanned the room. "There!" she pointed to the far corner of the room. There at a small table, sat two people. Both had matching black hair and both were wearing black. Black was the traditional color for Lightning mages. But the silver cloaks were what gave them away as color mages. The boy looked up from his conversation with the other, which no doubtingly was the girl. The boy smiled, muttered something to his companion. They both got up and walked over to us.
"Well, if it isn't our old friend, Kiah. How do you do? Made some new friends have we?"
We all introduced ourselves.
"Are you color mages?" Kay asked anxiously.
"Yes. Kipp Dratilia. Lightning mage."
"Kali Dragoness. Also Lightning."
"Oh goody! Now, bet you anything that it'll take forever to become good strong trusting friends, and another forever to find out what my cause is!" she let out a depressed sigh and leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Actually," said Kali, " we already know what your cause is, but it doesn't really make all that much sense."
"What is it!" Kay jumped up out of her seat.
What is Kay's cause? Will they all get along? Can Kipp, Kali, and Kiah be trusted? Is Kiah annoying you as much as she's annoying me? Um...find out later!
