Chapter 15: Looking for Answers
Ray raced through the streets and he finally came to the dojo. He threw open the door.
"JULIA!!!!!!" He went towards the girl's room, "JULIA I NEED YOUR HELP!!!" The door slid open and Julia stood there in her pajamas.
"What's wrong?"
He grabbed her hand, "No time!! Got to go now!!!"
"What!?! Where are we going!?!" she said trying to keep up with him when they got outside Ray turned around.
"I'll explain later!!! But now we gotta go to the radio station building!!!"
"What's at the radio station!?!"
"THERE'S A MUSE THERE!!!" Julia jumped and stared at Ray with fear. He felt really bad and walked up to her and drew her into a hug. "I'm sorry."
"What has happened?" she said softly.
"Tolaku has vanished and I think she's still alive," he released her and looked into her red eyes, "Please, if we work together we will find her."
Julia nodded as if understanding and she closed her eyes, "Take my hand." He did and they both lifted off the ground and zoomed through the air towards the radio broadcasting building. In no time they were there.
"Let's go inside," Ray said. Julia nodded and followed him in.

"I wonder where he went?" Crystal asked letting the wind blow though her long black hair.
"He's fine. Once we get there we'll try to find him," Tyson said glancing over at her.
"Yeah, AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE GET THERE SOON!!!" She said yelling upwards.
"Give me a break both of you are heavy!" Max's exhausted voice said.
A vein popped on Crystal's forehead, "So now you think I'm fat!!"
Max panicked, "No, no, no!!! That's not what I mean!!!"
"If I wasn't clinging to you for dear life!! I would've pounded you!!!!!"
Tyson sweat dropped, "You should never tell a woman that she's heavy."

Flamerion opened her eyes, and noticed that Julia's sleeping body was missing from the bed. She panicked, "AAHHHH!!!!!! SHE'S GONE!!!!!!!"
HOW CAN I BE HER GUARDIAN WHEN SHE JUST DISAPPEARS ON ME!!!! Flamerion screamed in her head. She ran over to Rose's little bed. And I can't leave Rose unpertected.

Ray and Julia cautiously walked through the radio station.
"Where is she?" Julia whispered to Ray.
"She's in here somewhere," he responded. They both listened intently and they heard a soft murmur of sound coming from the recording room. They snuck into the room with all the machines in it and in the recording booth they saw a teenager playing the guitar.
"That must be her, right?" Julia whispered to him not taking her eyes off the girl.
"Yeah, that's Euterpe, The Muse of Music."
"Well, are we going to stand here all day?" Julia asked.
"What should we do?"
"I say we should make our presence known," Julia chuckled confidently. Ignoring the protests from Ray, she used her telepathic powers to lift most of the machines in the room and flung them at the muse breaking the glass that was in the way.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" The muse screamed as the weight of the machines came on top of her. Julia hopped through the window into the room.
Ray whistled, "We sure could've used your powers with the fight with Urania." Julia walked up to the pile of machines just as the muse threw off a couple of the boxes.
"What are you!?!" She grumbled.
Julia narrowed her eyes, "I believe you know exactly who I am!!"
"Jewel of the Azcolios!!!" Euterpe shouted as her eyes widened in fear. A vein popped on Julia's head as her anger rose. She grabbed Euterpe by the color of her T-shirt and yanked her up.
"What the hell is the Azcolios mean!?!?!"
Euterpe looked surprised at first but then burst out laughing.
"STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!"
"I believe you and your Serilkyu friend found the book that holds all the legends," Euterpe said while laughing some more.
"Serilkyu?" Ray said looking at Julia.
She glanced at him, "Long story tell ya later!" She focused her attention back on Euterpe; "Now YOU will take us where you've taken Tolaku!!!"
Euterpe smiled evilly, "Certainly if that is what you want my mistress." Euterpe grew bright green and disappeared, but the place where she was, was still glowing green.
Julia turned towards Ray, "You ready?"
He nodded with confidence, "I need to know why I'm involved with everything."
Julia turned back to the portal and whispered, "So do I."

Tolaku glared at the person she thought was a friend but had betrayed her and her friends.
"Aren't you happy to see me?"
"STEVE!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!!!"
"My real name isn't Steve," he said. His dark blue hair had grown a little longer than it was. He was wearing armor similar to Kai's. But the thing she was more terrified, was his dark green eyes. They seemed to be radiating some type of darkness.
"What?" Tolaku said looking confused.
"Right mother," he said looking at the older muse.
She smiled and put a hand on his shoulder, "That's right Orpheus."
Tolaku snorted, "I think you should've stuck to the first one."
"Silence!!!" 'Orpheus' grabbed her face so that their faces were inches a part. He smiled with that evil thing again.
Tolaku's eyes narrowed her eyes, "What?"
He looked at her up and down, "You've grown up Tolaku." Tolaku smacked him real hard with her uninjured arm. "Feisty aren't we?" He said as he wiped off the blood on his lip.
"You sick bastard!" Tolaku growled.
"You better watch it!" he said smiling once again. He grabbed Tolaku's chin so she was looking at him. "My mother is a muse and my father is a great psychic. You better watch out, you don't know what my powers are." He let go of her and everyone walked out except Kai and Orpheus.
Kai looked up, "Yes?"
"Guard the wounded bird," Orpheus demanded. Kai glared dangerously at the back of Orpheus' head as he walked out. Kai looked at Tolaku, and finally walked over to her and knelt beside her. He tore of the sleeve on her left arm, revealing the deep wound done by the dagger on her shoulder.
Tolaku blushed red, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!?!?!"
Kai glared at her, "I'm tending to your wound!!!" She shut her mouth and watched him fix up her shoulder.
"Why?"
He turned to her and she saw emptiness in her eyes, "I'm not sure why…I just felt like it was something I had to do."
"Thank you."
"I'm not doing this out of mercy!!" He said as he finished his work and got up, "its just part of my honor code not to leave another warrior so defenseless." He took his position against the wall.
Tolaku looked at the bandage on her shoulder and then looked at Kai. She smiled, 'He's not gone. He's still in there…..somewhere.'
