Chapter Seven:
"Flint release!" He shouted as the small little Earth Djinni materialized upon his shoulder being called into battle. The little creature looked around the area seeing no sight of an a enemy then he looked up seeing the large boulder. He nodded knowing what he had to do. The little Venus Djinni began to glow a golden aurora, until it looked like it was just a little golden ball having no idea that it was actually a creature. It jumped up from Isaacs shoulder and crashed into the boulder looking like a meteor crashing into something.
From the impact the boulder began to collapse into several thousand pieces of rubble the small chunks of brown rock raining down upon Isaac. He grabbed his cloak and used it to shield his face, but it was not very effective as the chunks of rock sliced his skin and clothes like they were pieces of hail. He winced and releases cries of pains, but this only lasted for a few seconds until there was a mountain of rocks forming around his frame.
Eyes scanned left to right, but there was no presence of Ivan. Isaac only blinked and stared blankly wondering where he went. He whipped the rubble off of his clothes and when he stood up the remaining pieces fell from the folds in his clothing. "Where did he go and what caused that?" Isaac said out loud as his eyes looked over to where the boulder fell and decided he should investigate.
"That did not work." Menardi said as she watched the entire scene from behind the tree along her was Saturos her male companion. They were obviously the ones who blasted the large boulder at the ground so it would fly down at Isaac their archrival.
"Or maybe it has." He responded with a grin leaning against a tree looking at Menardi, as the expression on her face was that she had no idea what he was talking about.
"How would that be? We did this so he would be crushed and die, then we would only have to deal with Garet and Mia." The tone she said this was that she was outraged that this did not work she bared her teeth and released a growl of frustration.
"Menardi, really, don't let your anger get to you. Now we know what each of them is capable of we just need to develop a scenario where the only result is where they die. Sounds easier then it actually is, but can be done. Anyway, with our next victim soon to be revealed we will soon have the advantage over them. Four to three."
"Ivan. If you're hiding please come out. Ivan. This is not funny." Isaac growled as he walked around the field looking for the young Jupiter adept as for some reason he thought that Ivan wanted to play a game with him, "I was just killed and you do not even care if I'm okay. Unless, it was a diversion of some sort " Isaac began to wonder if he was kidnapped by Saturos and Menardi and that boulder was only a diversion to distract him.
"Why would they want Ivan? A ransom? We already had to deal with Mia almost being kidnapped, that would be just too cliché they already kidnapped Felix and Jenna so I would not be that surprised."
He climbed up a small hill into a partially wodded area where the large boulder came from/ He looked in the bushes and behind the trees to see if there were anyone in the area, but no luck/ He tried to be silent as possible so he would not scare the culprit away.
"Expecting someone?" Menardi came from behind a tree and said to Isaac. He looked around seeing her with a grin on her face.
"You wanted to find us, correct? Now you got us." Saturos said sarcastically as he also came from behind a tree.
"I expected it was you, no one would be that cheap and try to kill me in such a manner."
"What evidence do you have to prove that it was us? How do you not know it was that young Jupiter adept, Ivan? He does that trying to kill you and sees that you live so he runs away so you do not accuse him of that crime. But no, you accuse us since it seems suspicious that we just happen to roam in these parts."
"Ivan wouldn't turn against me. He is one of my best friends, so nice try. If you're going to try and pinpoint that trick on someone else at least know what you're saying."
"Or that is what you think. You never heard of betrayal have you? He could be backstabbing you for all you know. He may of just gotten close to you so he can figure out your weaknesses then use it against you." He paused Isaac just roiled his eyes not taking it seriously, "And why would he do this you would think to yourself? He always knew he had powers he probably knew about the lighthouses and them being lit. Then he heard from Master Hammet about the prophecy that two warriors from Vale will join him to stop the lighting of the lighthouses, but maybe, maybe he wanted to have the power of the stone of sages so at the end when they are lit, or we die trying to light them he could get the remaining star from you and light the remaining lighthouse."
"Why would he do that? He's not greedy as you are."
"Personal gain of course. Everyone is greedy some people just do not portray that. You may think that Ivan is trying to help, but you never know. He can read minds he knows everything about you and what you want from life, but you're not a Jupiter Adept are you? You cannot read his mind and know what he wants." Isaac began to get annoyed at this, as it was beginning to crawl under his skin. Saturos knew this by Isaacs face expression and he just smirked at this.
"Neither can you." Isaac began to growl baring his teeth, as he said this. "And why are you telling me this. Why do you care if Ivan betrays me or not, and if he does doesn't he have the same goal as you to light the remaining lighthouses. You're just trying to confuse me and make me self- doubt, but you're manipulation won't work on me."
"Maybe that is so, Isaac. Well. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer you never know when they'll turn on you." And with that said Saturos and Menardi disappeared through the art of Alex teleporting them away.
"What is that suppose to mean, he must have some sort of plan that he is already started to take action but I do not know about it yet or maybe he's just trying to get me to be confused and nervous." Isaac mumbled to himself as he began talking to himself of what he meant, "Whatever he says is junk, but it always gets to me."
[ Authors Note: Sorry that this chapter is so short, but I found it a necessity to make the plot continue. Or maybe I'm just trying to throw you off yet again? I have before. Heh. Well hope you had fun reading and review when you're done. And thanks to the people who already reviewed I always appreciate some sort of comment it touches me. ^_^ ]
