Chapter 19: Fire Clan of the North
A/N: I must be getting boring in my chapters again -_-(). Sorry about the 2 month delay...the past two months I have been lazy and not in a writing mood.
"It's night already..." Ivan arose from the bed of petals. At first he didn't recognize the place due to some memory lost. He noticed it was dark around him. He tilted his head upwards toward the atmosphere. He saw a red giant planet, with a large swirling cloud within it's skin. There were other planets too. The small planet of Mercury, the brightness of Mars, and the terra cotta colored planet of Venus. Stars of various forms and types filled the gaps of the heavens. A thin ribbon of pearl rainbow light danced gracefully across along with the stars.
"Just like the northern lights of Imil, but better." Ivan said to himself.
Ivan noticed Sheba was still asleep. He chuckled a little since there was a little puddle of drool near her mouth as she mumbled in her
sleep. He didn't see Kurai there. She must have left to wait until she was needed.
"Drool face." He continue to observe her. "I better not leave her here, she'll throw a fit if I leave her.."
He picked up the sleeping girl and made a comfortable position for her in his arms. Sheba woke up instantly.
"Why are you carrying me? Is something wrong?"
"I didn't want you to wake up in your own drool."
"But I never drool in my sleep! I don't drool!"
"It's not that I care," He set her down. "But I still wonder what you were sleep talking about."
"That is confidential! It doesn't have anything to do with you." Sheba blushed.
" You miss home. I heard you mumbling to your younger brother as you slept. You want the normal life you used to have with your family."
"Absolutely right." She admitted. "But it isn't possible now."
"Don't say that." Ivan kneeled down beside her. " I have a feeling they escaped and are safe somewhere."
"I hope I find them...I don't want to become an orphan a second time."
"I understand." Ivan curled up his arms to his knees. "..Do you ever wonder who your real parents are?"
" I do... but things like these remain a mystery, even after life." Sheba sighed. " I thought Babi was supposed to be dead already, how
could he be alive?"
"There could have been a possible resurrection that we didn't know about. I find it strange that no one hardly noticed."
"You're nowhere near the correct answer." A voice came from behind a tree.
"Who's there!?"
"Show yourself!"
"We don't take commands from little children such as yourself." Another voice came down from the tree.
" This should help." Sheba thought and quickly sparked up a few sparks to make light.
"Saturos, Menardi?! What are you doing here!?" Ivan was surprised to see his old enemies again.
"What are you two brats doing here?" Menardi asked in the familiar mean tone. " You're gonna pay for what you did to us!"
" So you guys came out to threatened us." Sheba didn't have a weapon with her, but she picked up a nearby stick and raised pointed the
stick at them. " I'm not afraid anymore to fight!"
" We don't have time to pick a fight against weaklings." Saturos commented, revealing his body into the moonlight and out of the shadows.
" The one that you call "Babi" is not Babi at all."
"What do you mean, explain more." Ivan stood his guard in case if any suspicious moves are performed.
"The demon that killed you is known as the Feebas he feeds on nothing but psynergy. When psynergy is used at any present time, he
grows stronger and it is impossible to attack. Feebas is also trying to get a hold of the spirit world as well as Weyward." Menardi
explained. " He may be identical with Babi's physical qualities, but overall he is not the real one." Menardi swung her scythe into the ground. "In exchange of the information you received, we want to fight you to avenge our death."
"Bring it on then." Ivan had unsheathed a sword that was given to him earlier. It's silver blade flashed and glared a mirror glimpse at its
opponents.
"Where is Kurai when you need her.." Sheba was unarmed, but her psynergy proved as a good weapon. She took in all her djinn on standby.
" I am here in your soul, I sense that my power is needed again." The pearl colored fox warped from out the air. It stared fiercely at the Fire Adepts.
"I see you have new powers yourself, they will not aid you much!" Saturos swung a fire sword at Ivan with much strength.
"Force Seal!" Menardi created a symbol of Force onto the Gryphon and onto the moon fox. The seal made them unable to aid their
companions in battle. Ivan wasn't fast enough to block the flames of the sword. He flung into the grass, feeling pain. Ivan tried to attack again, using djinn, psynergy, and attacks of all sorts. He and Sheba received more wounds then what they gave as a team.
"Hey that's not fair!" Sheba cried out as she tried to pull a spark plasma on them with the last of her psynergy. " Why do you attack when
we are unarmored!?"
" That is your problem for not being prepared, you should have known!" Menardi sliced her scythe at Sheba. Her swiftness was able to leave her just a scratch.
Ivan wiped off the blood from his lip. " I'm not giving up."
" They are not worth fighting Menardi, let it go for now." Saturos rolled his eyes, " They are far too weak right now."
"We shall them meet again then." Menardi licked the blood off her scythe. "You brats better be prepared next time."
A sudden flash of smoke and fire engulfed them as they disappeared to where ever they were to go.
"Are you okay?" Sheba took Breath and Kurai and did her best to her the wounds Ivan receive. " I don't understand why they had to be so ruthless."
"Bunch of jerks they are." Ivan snorted and called for Falcon. " Falcon, take us to the Ailment Springs."
" She really gave me a scratch." Sheba began to take clean cloth from her dress and wrap it around her gash on her arm. " It doesn't seem
so painful though.."
" We should be able to rest up on the way." Ivan helped her get onto Falcon's back. " Maybe the spirits can handle the problem as well."
" A possible way to get them to stop." Sheba closed her eyes.
A/N: I know I know...it's been awhile...I should update more now...it's just that I'm am running dry of ideas in this area. Any of your ideas
are greatly accepted. I also did some slight editing to the whole story to try and make it more game based.
