*Peers out from hiding* Erm, hi guys, I'm REALLY sorry for the delay...
Jenna: *Fumes* You WILL be!
Eeeep! Erm, anyway, here's the next chapter! And this is dedicated to shadowthewindadept, for nagging me EVRY DAY since I posted the LAST chapter!
Jenna: Oh, yeah, the guy who wants me dead. Nice.
*Sweatdrops* Anyway, please leave a nice review! ^_^
-
Jenna was sat in the main room, the plans and maps for the citadel spread out in front of her.
She drummed her fingers on the table, and frowned. Things were not going well.
David hadn't come out of his room; the only thing she had heard was quiet sobbing in the night.
Karalen screamed once a night, nightmares and dreams causing her to loose more and more sleep. She was often found sat near Ivan's statue, clutching her ring.
Becca had become very quiet. Jenna knew of the information Becca had gained from the orb, but now the girl seemed to devote her focus and energies to unravelling it all.
Mik hadn't been much help. Constantly in the way and being a pest. He was now out searching for food and water, because supplies were getting low.
She glanced over to the other side of the room. Garet gave her a small smile back. Even SHE had to admit, he had been acting very creepy.
She sighed, and looked over the plans again.
They couldn't go on like this.
-
Shadow, Isaac and Selena turned to see the newcomer.
"Nice to see you again Isaac."
"Alex."
Selena looked at the Lemurian. "So THIS is where you went. And Felix?"
A cold look flashed by Alex's eyes. "Not here, so I guess that makes him dead."
Shadow frowned. "Sheba DID say something about you bringing her back from the coma."
There was a noise from above, as the dragon flew past.
"That thing is DAMN creepy." Said Isaac.
Selena shuddered. "Lets tell the others. They may want to hear what Alex has to say."
-
"If you remember, I received the Lights of Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Hence why you are all alive...in a manner of speaking."
Ivan sighed. "So we're stuck here?"
Alex shook his head. "If the Phoenix can be resealed, and I can be brought back to Weyard, then the lost elements can be restored, and the lighthouses will burn again."
Sheba frowned. "You want us to return YOU to the real world? Why would we do that? When your so powerful too?!?"
Alex sighed. "Do you have a choice?" He gestured to the crowd of Adepts.
Two younger ones were weeping, possibly related to the man that had been devoured. A girl and a boy, both Water Adepts.
Shadow looked at them. They were his age. Only young. Sheba rested her arm on his shoulder. "Alex is right, what choice DO we have?"
Alex addressed them all. "Something you should all know is that you are all "Anchored" to one of the people living. For instance, Selena is anchored to Jenna, hence why she can talk THROUGH Jenna and communicate with her."
He turned to Selena. "Who has the information about the Phoenix?"
"Becca does, why?"
Alex frowned. "Shadow, you need to contact her and tell her all you know. She's YOUR anchor."
Shadows eyes went wide. "ME? What if I forget stuff, or get it wrong?"
Alex glared at the boy. "Then you had better hope you don't."
-
Becca lay back on her bed, her arms tucked up behind her head. She sighed. She had been probing her own mind. There was so much she knew, and so little seemed to make sense.
Tired, she closed her eyes and drifted into slumber.
"Becca?"
Becca looked around. She was in blackness; nothing could be seen, except herself, and...Zach?"
"Zach?!? Is that you?"
The Wind Adept gave a weak smile, and scratched the back of his head. He had missed Becca. Her and Isaac had been a new family to him. But there would be time for that later.
"I don't have long...so listen up."
Becca listened to it. To everything.
She frowned. "Alex? Can he even be trusted?"
Shadow shrugged. "Who knows? But that dragon I told you about..." he sighed. "We have limited time." He walked off into the darkness.
Then she woke up.
She sat up on the bed, and held her head in her hands, trying to clear the fuzz from her mind. Was that real? Or a dream...
She remembered Karalen's dreams, of Ivan visiting her. And Jenna's transformations...weird, but now it all makes sense.
She got up and walked out of her room.
No one else was awake.
She pulled out the plans of the Citadel...and started to make her plans.

**Flashback**
The house was on fire. David managed to get out, coughing and spluttering, dragging Toby with him. There was no sign of Seth. David ran back towards the house.
"SETH!" He yelled, tears steaming down his face.
Then he turned. He saw a man, stood there, and the limp body of Toby, on the floor. The man was the mayor's son. A very powerful man.
"T-Toby?" stuttered David.
**End Flashback**
David sat on the edge of his bed. To the side were the two blades from his torture chamber. Still sharp. He guessed Agatio had been right about that.
He lay back down and hugged his pillow.
He had lost everyone he had ever cared for. His brothers, Toby and Seth, Seth had even been slain by his OWN hand.
Leo, the guy who he loved. As a brother? As something else? He didn't know. It didn't matter. He was gone.
Then there was Saturos. He was here. But not with him.
He didn't even try to stop the tears anymore.
-
"Enter."
Saturos entered the office, where Puelle sat waiting. Near the desk, stood a young male, with wild brunette hair.
Saturos noticed something about the face of this youth. He had a look of him...but no. It couldn't be...the cheekbones, the soft eyes, fierce determination...
"Saturos, you knew Seth correct?"
"Yes..."
"And his brother David?"
"Erm, yes I did. Sir, what-"
"And you witnessed the brutal slaughtering of Seth by David?"
Saturos was about to protest, when Puelle glared at him.
"Yes...I did."
Puelle stood up grinning broadly. "Saturos, I would like you to meet the Mars Adept, Tobias."
The youth turned.
"Where's David? He needs to pay."
-
SO? I know it's fairly short, but YOU try writing when someone is nagging at you to hurry up!
Jenna: Yeah. Shadowthewindadept is EVIL!!!
-_- He's not. He just wants you dead. That's perfectly normal.
Jenna: *fumes* If you don't review (and praise ME!) then you will BURN!
