A/N: Mars Lighthouse! Finally! But if you think the story is anywhere near done, you are SO wrong. (I doubt its even halfway! But we'll see!)
OVER 50 REVIEWS!!! YAY!!! Thank you to all the peeps that have given me GREAT feedback. *puppy dog eyes* can we make it over 100? Please?
Kairi - I swear the whole Becca thing is coincidence; Becca is another mate of mine! But now at least I know you're real name! Hahaha! But you're right - it IS freaky!
Remember to Review, and tell me what you think!

"Ok, we can split into two teams again, to take on the puzzles quicker!" declared Ivan.
"I don't want to come, thank you..." Jenna moaned. Selena eyed her. It was her own fault. She had been drinking again, and was now feeling the inevitable hangover. Selena wanted to stay, but the fire beasts of the lighthouse were best killed with her watery powers.
"Will you be ok by yourself?" asked Ivan.
"Well, why don't YOU stay?" asked Saturos. "If there is a trap there, it's baited for you more than anyone."
Ivan knew the real reason was so that Saturos wouldn't have to take orders from him, but he agreed anyway. It WAS a good point.
"Right then. Saturos, you know you're way around Mars Lighthouse, as does Karalen. As you and David are the Mars Adepts you will be on different teams. So team one is David, Karalen and Selena, team two is Saturos and Leo.
"WHAT?!?" shrieked Leo. "WITH HIM?!?"
"Lets get a move on! We want this to be quick!" chided Selena.
-
"It's too hot in here." Selena pulled at her collar. She HATED being too hot, and she could feel the lighthouse draining her Psynergy.
Karalen bounced on ahead. "Hurry up!"
David put an arm on Selena's shoulder. His vision had pretty much returned. "Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
There was tension between them. One of the people here was a spy. And no one knew whom.
-
"Saturos, I said WAIT!" Leo angrily tried to catch up to the Mars Adept, despite the heat.
Saturos sighed. "Look kid, I don't NEED this!" he snapped. "An insolent little upstart, who seems to have a SERIOUS problem with me!"
"Can you blame me? After all you have done?!?"
Saturos stopped. He turned to look at the boy. "Explain." he said in a clipped tone.
Leo looked at him for a moment. True, Saturos WASN'T the spy, but... oh to hell with it!
"My father was a guard. He was guarding Suhallah gate about 5 years ago, when a group of strange travellers barged through." He swallowed. "My father was paralysed from the waist downwards as a result of 'doing his job'."
Saturos at least had the decency to look ashamed. "For what its worth, I'm sorry."
Leo looked at him, and waved it off. "It was 5 years ago. But just don't expect me to like you or anything."
Saturos nodded. "Believe me, the feeling is mutual."
In silent agreement, they continued.
-
"What do you mean, we need the Blaze Psynergy?" asked Selena. Blaze was a Psynergy that let the wielder manipulate existing flames.
"To solve this puzzle, you need to light THAT candle with THAT flame!" Karalen sighed. "Why are you worrying? David knows it."
David stood there pale.
"Because THAT'S the Psynergy he used before! 2 years ago!"
Karalen blushed. How could she have forgotten? "Oh, I'm so sorry."
David stepped past. He had to be strong, and put it all behind him. Others had done much worse. Like Saturos. "Its ok. Now, stand back."
He held his palm to the flame. The skin on his hand glowed a faint crimson, and the flame ached towards its destination. The mechanism created a flamethrower, which melted and cleared the path ahead.
"Shall we?" he asked.
-
"They have entered Mars Lighthouse." The younger man said.
"Good. Is the spy with them?"
"Yes."
"Excellent. Now, I have had enough work for one day, don't you agree?"
The younger man smiled. "I have just the thing."
-
Leo was thinking. Ok, so it's NOT Saturos, Ivan, Sheba or Jenna. Hmm. And it CERTAINLY wasn't him. David, Selena, Karalen. Who was it? Then he realised. David was in a bad way for a long time, and was blind for a good part of it. He also knew nothing about Jupiter Lighthouse. So that ruled another one off the list. That left the two girls... he wanted to tell someone his musings, but he was under suspicion himself.
Saturos looked at the lad. "Will you PLEASE hurry up?" he bit his tongue, not insulting the lad. But it was HARD! He kinda hoped Leo was the spy, so he could ditch the little runt, but they were screwed if he was. He was the only Venus Adept they had.
-
Both teams emerged on the Aerie of the Lighthouse at the same time. There were no monsters, nothing.
David looked around. No sign of anything... he walked cautiously up to the Light of Mars. The Wise One appeared.
He disappeared suddenly, and the small red pendant dropped from where he last was. David bent down to pick it up. Does the Wise One know who the spy is? It was something that had crossed his mind.
Saturos looked around. Then, he heard it. A thudding. And from behind the Light, he saw a figure. Then two, then ten. Small dragons that looked human shaped. Each with a sword of flame...
"RUN!" he yelled.
Needing no further encouragement, they sped through the way in which David's team had arrived.
"Split up!" yelled Selena. She grabbed Leos arm, and they took the left hand path. Saturos and Karalen took the right. David went centre.
Selena looked behind her, still running. They were catching up.
"DELUDGE!" she screamed, you huge torrent of water appearing at her command and slamming into the dragons. Leo saw them stunned, and summoned his Psynergy.
"EATHQUAKE!" he yelled, causing a cave in within the passageway. They stopped to get their breath back.
-
Saturos yanked the elf's arm into a passage that cut off from the main path. They stood against the wall as the dragons stampeded past. Karalen was breathing heavily.
"Is it safe?" she asked.
She turned to peek out, just to come face to face with another dragon man.
"AHHH!"
They ran on, Karalen heading towards the light, just in time to realise Saturos wasn't with her.
-
David kept running, and then he saw it. Daylight! Then he tripped, and realised his eyesight must not be QUITE up to scratch yet. He clutched at his ankle in pain. And saw the creatures catch up to him.
"Oh, shi-"
And then he closed his eyes, expecting the first blow to come any minute. But it never did. And then he felt arms, lifting him up, strong.
Cautiously, he opened one eye, and nearly died on the spot.
Saturos.
He was carrying David, but bleeding. He was running, despite the fact that the dragons were clawing at him. He threw himself out of the front door, the dragons not following. He knelt in the grass panting. David stood up shakily, using his staff to hold himself.
"Saturos?" he asked so quietly, it was almost a whisper. Crimson eyes met his own turquoise ones, showing, fear?
"Don't you EVER put yourself in danger again!" he hissed hoarsely. He stood up, and brushed himself off.
"Lets go find the other." He walked off, leaving David with his mouth hung open.
-
Karalen whimpered as David looked at the bruise on her arm. "That was SATUROS' fault! He grabbed me!" she whined.
"And probably saved you!" stated David. He now had to treat Saturos. This was going to be fun, he thought sarcastically.
Sure enough, the blue skinned man was proving to be difficult.
"Just leave me alone! I'm fine!"
"No you aren't! And it's MY fault you got those cuts!"
"Well, tit for bloody tat!" snarled Saturos.
"Don't start with the whole Garet thing!" snapped David. "Now, hold still, let me clean that wound!"
"NO!"
"Don't be a baby!"
"I'm not a - OW! THAT HURT!"
"Well, hold still then!"
Selena walked in to find David chasing Saturos around the room, trying vainly to apply his home made healing balm on the blue-skinned man. She laughed at the sight.
David, now exasperated, gave up. He turned to the Water Adept. "He's hopeless!" he sighed.
-
The cart pulled into Garoh, and the figure stirred from her slumber. She was hungry. She had little food left, and needed a warm bed.
Becca sneaked out of the cart once it stopped, only to run into a young blond lad.
"Now, what do we have here?"
The girl glared at him. "Leave me alone!" she rubbed her eyes, her face grubby, with streaks down her face where she had been crying.
The boy sighed. Great all he needed. "Lets get you cleaned up," he said. "Don't worry, I won't bite!"
Provided it isn't a full moon...
-
A/N: For those that don't know, Garoh is a town from The Lost Age that was the town full of werewolves!
So, whadda ya think? Good? Bad? Please, let me know! But be nice! Flames make me cry!
