The Wind Storm
Chapter 1
The Journey
A gale cut through the cold Valean night air. Two Venus adepts engaged in battle, blood staining the usually vibrant grass. Two lifeless bodies clung to the ground. No! It's can't be!
Jenna sprang up from her bed in a cold sweat.
'What just happened?' She thought to herself. The two people she loved most fighting? The sun was shining bright, and she shrugged it off as nothing more than a nightmare. Jenna rolled over and thought about happier things. Summer was here and life in New Vale was great, everything had been rebuilt, some with a few new additions! The real reason she was happy, was that Isaac and she scheduled walk together for this very night. Happiness consumed her when the even shyer warrior stammered an invitation. Immediately, Jenna sprinted to her to dresser, usually, she didn't fawn over what to wear, but she had a feeling tonight would be special.
Elsewhere in the house of Mars adepts, Felix was already awake, looking out in the window, thinking about his favorite Wind adept, Sheba. The staunch, and usually cold Felix had been warmed and changed by Sheba, but they were almost exact opposites. Felix under went a change whenever she was near, and was glad that everyone else from their quest would soon be joining them.
Ivan was could see New Vale as he crested a verdant hill. The new town was bustling with life, and Ivan was looking forward to seeing his love. He recalled a memory, where he willingly gave his most valued object to protect her life. No doubt it was love at first sight.
Mia knew she would arrive within a day's time. Her heart skipped a beat, being bathed in the warm sunshine, and thinking about Issac. Her love truly knew know bounds over the handsome Venus adept. The kindness and tenderness Isaac had always shown her was great. Unfortunately, a scowl spread across her face as she thought about Jenna, taking HER Isaac.
''It was her own fault for getting captured like that! If she really cared about Isaac, she would have escaped!'' Mia exclaimed. She trekked on towards, her emotions in a cyclone.
'This is the great Mt. Aleph?' a cloaked figure mused to himself. His eyes shot around.
"Alex!" he called, "I can sense you, fool!"
"Hurricane!" A voice cried out. In an instant the cloaked figure appeared in front of the bloodied body.
"I'm surprised to see you alive Alex! It has been two years since Mt. Aleph fell!"
"The Wise One keeps me alive, as punishment."
"I heard your call, but how will this benefit me?"
"My only use of psyenergy is telepathy, but the power of the Golden Sun, and the secrets of Anemos should be more than enough to satisfy your growing powers."
"Intriguing…" replied the one called Hurricane.
"Besides, these adepts were even able to slay Agatio, Karst, Saturos and Menardi!"
"HA!" scoffed Hurricane, "These fools don't stand a chance against me!"
"That's what those Proxian fools thought!"
"Heh, well I doubt they will be a problem!" As quickly as he arrived he was gone.
Chapter 2
Have a Drink
The New Vale Tavern was beginning to become world renowned, due to it's varieties of alcohols and other intoxicating drinks. All seven of the saviors of Wayward sat at a table. Picard was still deep in study at Lemuria. The tavern was alive with chatter save for a cloaked figure in the background, reading a hefty tome. The saviors of Weyward all sat at their table drinking, exchanging stories. Felix could not help himself from glaring at Jenna for being so suggestive and flirtatious. Jenna shot a few stares his way, while he was hitting on Sheba.
'Hypocrite' thought Jenna and turned her attention back to Isaac. Mia was distraught, but too shy to say anything. Ivan couldn't
"How about when Ivan fell down the stairs at the Mars lighthouse shouted Garet, while the rest of the group erupted with laughter.
"It was pretty damn slippery!" slurred Ivan. Two hours had already past. Everyone was very inebriated save for Sheba, who was staring at the cloaked figure. He had taken down his hood, and revealed shaggy brown hair. She had never seen him before. His attire revealed he wasn't from any of the towns she had been from.
'Probably just some traveler, but I can't shake this feeling about him'
"Me neither but just have some fun" said Ivan as he pushed her a tall mug of ale. Felix was visibly shaken by Sheba's attention being diverted from him.
"DON'T READ MY MIND" screamed Sheba as she slapped Ivan. The shaggy haired guy in the cloak began to walk out. She noticed he was near Ivan's age, and hardly taller than him.
"Garet, I'm going to my room" the hovel where she and Ivan were staying during the visit. Felix and Ivan's eyes widened, but then they retreated with disappointment. As she walked out, she thought she had never been violent like that before. The wind adept began to follow the cloaked figure. He was walking very quickly towards Isaac's house.
Meanwhile, inside the Taven, Mia was trying to get the courage to break Jenna's hold on Isaac.
"I-I-Isaac?" Stammered Mia. Issac began to turn around before Jenna grabbed his arm.
"Issac? That walk you promised me?" questioned Jenna, as she gazed at the culmination of her dreams.
"I didn't forget! Bye, Mia!" as he was walking towards the door.
"Bye!" said Mia. Felix, not realizing what was happening he sprinted to the door and screamed "ISAAC, IF SHE'S NOT BACK BY MIDNIGHT IT WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU"
Undoubtedly, he woke the whole town.
"Don't listen to what he says!" giggled Jenna, "Come on"
Isaac turned back and looked at the Tavern, still thinking about Mia's troubled expression.
"Someone is following me," thought Hurricane. He walked by Isaac's house, towards the southern bridge, when he felt a pang of power.
"The Tomeigatheron! It's here?" he thought about stealing a glance about which house it was, but felt the wind adept getting closer.
Chapter Three
The Night's Conclusion
Hurricane stopped at the bridge.
'Who is this girl?'
"Hi!" called Sheba
"Greetings" muttered Hurricane. Sheba just looked at him staring into the water.
"Um, can I ask why you are in New Vale?" Sheba felt compelled to speak to him. She felt a tingling in her body, and she could barely think straight.
"I was just leaving." Hurricane began to walk off.
'What a eerie boy' thought Sheba as he faded into the black night.
Jenna and Isaac were under the a bridge just outside of New Vale
"Come on Isaac!" begged Jenna "So who's catching your eye lately?" She creeped closer and put her head on Isaac's shoulder. Any excuse to get close to him was good enough for her.
"Well…." his answer was interrupted by footsteps on the wooden bridge. "Wait do you hear that?"
"Isaac! I don't hear anything!" said Jenna as she wrapped her arms around his waist. The footsteps came to an abrupt stop.
"Isaac? Isaac of New Vale?"
"Yeah, that would be me." said Isaac standing up. Seeing a shaggy haired teen on the bridge railing.
"The savior of Weyward?"
"Heh, heh. This will be easier than I thought!" Hurricane shed his cloak. He was dressed like the normal teens of Vale, save the numerous black armbands he had on his arms. Unsheathing two black knives from his armbands he leapt in the air.
"Run for your life, Mars adept!"
"Never!" cried Jenna
Neither of them knew what would unfold, but they were prepared to battle.
As much as I would like to continue, I need some sleep. I'll update before 2004, I promise!
Please R & R I need a good first experience! Lastly, could you please point out any plot holes in case I missed some so I may fix them later. There's nothing I hate more than plot holes.
Chapter FourTo Battle!
Hurricane came crashing down in between the two adepts. Isaac felt his tunic tear under Hurricane's razor sharp knife, barley avoiding the other blade. Instantly, leaped towards the nearby trees. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Isaac.
'This is the one who bested even the mightiest Mars adepts?' mused Hurricane. Isaac
