Chapter 1
Artemis woke with a start. He was breathing rapidly, staring wildly around the room. He could hear rain hammer on the rooftop. A streak of lightening lit the room through the window. Artemis had had another dream. He stooped out of bed, and rubbed his eyes. They were cold and clammy. His nightshirt was stuck to his chest with sweat. His hair was sticking up everywhere. It was definite. He had had another dream. For some time now, he had occasionally been having dreams, where he would see himself in his house. He would walk out the door, and see a dark, stormy sky. All around him, Kalay would lie in ruins. He would run out the town, and floating above him would be a figure. A figure whose face he could not see. But tonight, he had almost seen it...
Dawn eventually broke. Artemis sat at his windowsill, watching the sun's slow ascent. Before long, he heard his parents come down the stairs. Artemis turned; the smiles coming from the other end of the room were infectious. Artemis had a broad grin stretched across his face by the time his mother said,
"Happy 17th birthday, son,"
Artemis' smile grew. He had clean forgotten about his birthday!
Later, Artemis left his house, and journeyed across the town to his friend's home. The friend he was visiting was a boy called Raees. Raees had moved to Kalay a few years ago. Both Artemis and Raees were adepts; Artemis was a Jupiter adept, Raees a Mars adept. Funnily enough, Raees knew hardly any psynergy, although he was a few months older than Artemis. Artemis was pondering about this as he reached for the door knocker on Raees' door, but before he could knock, the door swung open, and Raees stood in the threshold, waving him in.
"How did you know I was coming?" Artemis asked.
"Saw you through the window," Raees answered simply. He closed the door and lead Artemis into his room.
"Happy birthday, Art," He said, gesturing to a package on the bed. Artemis ripped it open, and gasped. It was his own Adept's Staff. He had never been able to afford one before.
"How...?" He mumbled. Raees tapped his nose with a wink. Then, Artemis noticed the envelope that lay on the bed. He had not seen it before because it had been hidden underneath the package. He opened that too. Onto his hand fell two things: a birthday card, and a ticket for a boat ride to Tolbi. The departure time was... in three days?!? When Raees brandished his own ticket, Artemis realised- they were going to Tolbi together.
