[ Authors Note: I'm sorry that it took so long having nearly no sleep because you're reading about a gigantic book on the history of DNA and the entire structure takes up your time and school is soon and that book must be finished. I've been writing my novel and I'm tired right now I think I got four hours of sleep any who I must type this before I go into a state of a coma. ]

Chapter Five:

The candles which illuminated the bedroom the four adepts were sleeping were one by one blown out the small flamed being pushed to the side in the direction the wind was blowing, the flames was separated apart and went out the wax released a little scent of something being burnt the string in the wax now having a layer of black ashes on its outer coat. The top of the candle's wax slightly melted and rolled down the rest of the circular structure making some ugly design.

"Goodnight guys. Tonight has been truly hectic." Mia said as she was in her nightgown just a long thin white dress nothing special She slipped under the covers and the sheets made a ruffling noise as she positioned herself in a comfortable position Mia, Garet, and Isaac immediately fell asleep after their countless yawns of tiredness while Ivan was just looking up at the ceiling his eyes wide awake his oculars looking from one adept to another waiting for a certain opportunity.

No one noticed but his staff was leaning against the frame of his bed and his cloak hung on the poster and he changed his clothes to what he usually wears those baggy purple pants and a matching shirt, except they were clean because the maids washed them unlike on their journey where they have to find some lake, which is maybe in weeks that they could wash their clothes. His boots were beside his bed covered in a slight layer of dirt not being their normal shade of brown

Taking a deep breath inhaling as much oxygen as possible then releasing it through a sigh he ruffled his covers and slipped out of his bed his feet slipped into his bots and he wrapped his cloak around his neck. His right hand held his staff as he looked at the three adepts and began to walk out of the room his eyes looking at the ground so he would not trip over something, which would wake his companions up.

Successfully he sneaked out of the bedroom with no one knowing there seemed to be no maids or guards around so he went down the stairs tapping on the hard stone slightly trying to produce as little noise as possible. He then took a peek out of the front doo rto se eif anyone was there, nope no one so he went out of the castle and began to travel done the many streets.

They were all empty shops, stores all lined down the stone streets along with the long black poles which were holding a torch on top, which slightly illuminated the streets at night were all encased in glass so if it rained the flame would not go out. He went down the many streets like he knew where he was going he hard the sound of his boots hitting the ground echo because it was so quiet there was not even a song the crickets were playing like he hears when he is traveling with his friends.

** Flashback **

They were all just getting to know Mia traveling up the Mercury Lighthuse with her learning all about her while they solved the countless puzzles and battled the endless amount of monsters just trying to reach the beacon so the group can stop Saturos and Menardi from throwing the Mercury Star into the pit which would light the beacon, which would make the element of Mercury become dominant over the others as long as the other three lighthouses were unlit.

"I guess the thing that would scare me most." Mia said as they were all sitting in the inn after that little adventure recovering from their wounds she twirled her cascade blue hair just thinking about it as she did it when she was nervous, "Death, I would hate to see someone die on me and know I cannot do anything bad about it especially if the killer was also in my sight. Death just scares me the whole process of dying, everything about it." She said this as she rubbed her eyes with her fingertips

** End of Flashback **

His boots hit the stone the echo being produced like there was something approaching him from behind or he was on top of the world or trapped in a cave h began to reach his destination as a grin of satisfaction went on his face.

** Flashback **

"That battle on the Mercury lighthouse just shows how powerful we actually are, it shows that we are a real team." Isaac said as the three other adepts smiled to him saying that as since that battle they were united in an indescribable way. They all sat on on his bed a circle.

"Nothing could break us apart now we are one force not to be reckoned with." They all nodded to what their leader said all feeling proud of what then accomplished so far and hopped to complete their task to show how powerful and how united they actually are.

** End of Flashback **

Failing. Ivan thought to himself as he remembered that last flashback he just closed his eyes clearing the thought out of his head for the time being. He reached the outskirets of the city and began to cut through the bushes like he knew where he was going even though his companions or himself have never crossed such a path

The slight illumination appealed to Ivan as a fire released its radiant light to the group of warriors' enemies to Isaac and his friends. The red, orange, and yellow element was always a curiosity to them as it seemed so mysterious the way the colors blended with one another how it made that cackling noise looked so peaceful yet so destructive at the same time.

Menardi lost her attention from watching the flames as she looked at the young teenager approach them, "And our little new star has come to us." She said with a grin on her face; Saturos gave a slight laugh responding to that remark as Ivan approached them without talking.

"Have you read their mind for the information that we need?" Saturos said as he slid his position on the bench Ivan sitting between the evil duo a glare in his eyesthat made him look like a mindless zombie.

"Course." He replied plainly.
