"No, no, no, like THIS!" Isaac swung the small sword, before passing it to Becca.
"Are you SURE this is necessary?" she asked.
"You don't have any Psynergy, and you need to defend yourself!"
Becca sighed, and stole a glance at Shadow, who was smirking from the wall.
They were in Xian, and had decided to take the opportunity to learn some skills. In Becca's case, how to fight at all.
"Much better!" grinned Isaac. "There's promise for you yet!"
Becca mock scowled at him. She handed back the blade. "Well, with you two big strong handsome men around, why do I need to defend myself? Oh, yeah, that's right. Because if it wasn't for me, we'd all be dead!" she grinned.
Shadow rolled his eyes. "Couldn't we have left her somewhere?" he asked.
Isaac grinned at him. "If she gets to be too much, we still can!"
"HEY!"
"Anyway, tomorrow, we're off again! To Prox! We haven't seen David and Saturos in a while, and I heard something is brewing there..."

Jenna opened the envelope carefully.
Selena leant over her shoulder. "What is it?"
"A meeting. For all Mars Adepts. In Prox. Hmm." She frowned. "I wonder what's going on? And why only Mars Adepts?" she taped her fingers on the desk.
"Mars or not, I'm coming too!" said Selena, planting a kiss on Jenna's cheek. "When is the meeting?"
"In three days. We had better head out tomorrow. It says it's urgent."
Selena grinned. "Well, I heard something about a different meeting, about the laws on homosexuality. I bet David and Saturos are involved, so we should go too!"
She went upstairs and lifted their cases out, and started to pack. Even though it was short notice, the idea of travelling with her girlfriend was very appealing. She hummed to herself as she pulled out some clothing, and began to fold it, a happy smile on her face.

Leo sat outside, watching the sunset. Mik came up and slung an arm around him.
"What's the matter?"
"Just thinking about home. I couldn't be this...open at home."
"What about your parents?"
"They don't know. It's just..." Leo trailed off, and handed a letter to Mik.
Dear Leo
How are you? Your father and I have missed you SO much! People have been saying things about people with these powers! And that you have something to do with it!
Please stay out of trouble! We do love you, but try to be good! And write to us! The last we heard, you were staying in a far off village. Please, Leo, don't stay from home for too long!
Your father sends his love. We also want you to stay away from the north. There have been rumours circling off homosexuals. There are apparently two young men speaking out for them! They should just go back to wherever it is they all came from! Don't go near those freaks! We love you too much for you to get involved with anything like that!
Write soon!
Love, Mom.
Mik stared at the letter. "Oh, crap!" he muttered. He wrapped his arms around Leo. "Don't worry," he whispered fiercely. "I'm here, and no one is gonna take you from me!"
Leo smiled. "I know." He then looked at the letter. "Homos in the north... David and Saturos?"
"Maybe. Hey, why don't we visit them? Haven't seen them for a while!"
"That would be nice!" said Leo.

"Karalen?"
Ivan approached his girlfriend, fumbling in his pocket for the ring. He was sweating, and blushing a very deep shade of red.
"Oh, Ivan, have you heard? About that fuss in the north?"
Ivan stopped. "Huh?"
Karalen flapped her hands impatiently. "About that meeting! There is going to be a law passed in Angara, based on homosexuality! David and Saturos have something to do with it!"
Ivan nodded. "And you are saying this because..."
"Lets go and see them! You know, offer our support! Besides, I'd like to see Prox when we are NOT carrying our friend who is in a coma!" she said, remembering struggling from Mars Lighthouse with a badly injured Sheba.
-
Sheba said nothing on the way back to David's home. She pulled up her collar around her shoulders. Even though Prox was usually cold, she felt a particularly icy chill down her spine. This was complicated. She had seen Saturos and Menardi before they had fallen. And she knew that secretly, there had been feelings. If only she knew how much, she could gauge just how concerned David should be.
David hadn't said a word. Sheba was concerned. He was usually so cheerful. And in a few days, he was supposed to be speaking at a conference for homosexuals. He had volunteered to be one of the speakers. But he wouldn't be up to it in THIS condition.
"Sheba... I don't know what to do..." he said sadly. "I just get the feeling that he doesn't want me..."
C'mon, SAY something! Sheba told herself. But she couldn't lie to him. He didn't deserve false hope.
"Whatever it is, all we can do is sit tight. But remember, I'm here for you." Sheba laid her hand on his arm. He nodded, giving a small smile, and headed indoors.
Her face set in resolve, Sheba decided to go and find some answers.
-
David shrugged off his coat, leaving it on the floor. He had a sick twist in his stomach that wouldn't go away. He hadn't told Sheba of the argument they had had that morning, or that Saturos' EXACT words had been that he wondered if it had been a mistake.
Maybe it had been heat of the moment. But David hadn't even realised they were going through a rough patch. He sighed, and then noticed a letter on the floor.
It was for a meeting, the day after the conference on homosexuality. It was for Mars Adepts only. He frowned. Why only Mars Adepts? There was something funny going on, here. He really wanted to be concerned, but all he could think about was Saturos.
-
Sheba barged through the crowd, only to run smack into a woman.
"Hey, watch it!" snapped a voice.
"Huh? Oh I'm sorry..." her voice trailed off. "So I was right! It IS you!" she stared at Menardi, the woman who had been responsible for her kidnapping over 5 years ago. The 19 year old glared at the older woman.
"Hmm? Do I know you?"
"Well, maybe if I was much shorter, and jumped whenever you told me to mind read someone!" snarled Sheba. Out of Saturos and Menardi, Saturos had always had that cold charm. Menardi was just cold.
"Ah yes. The brat from Lalivero." Menardi snarled. "I've heard all about your friends little adventures recently." She raised an eyebrow. "Too bad you didn't all make it!"
"WHY YOU-"
"Enough Sheba." Said a male voice.
Menardi looked towards the speaker.
"Saturos?"
"It's been a while."
