And I want to wish myself a happy birthday, on Feb. 14, 2004. It also snowed for the first time since the 1980's yesterday in my town. I even skipped 5th to 7th period to play in it. It was so cool.

The Calm Before the Storm
The air reeked of blood as Isaac, Mia, Ivan and Garet marched through the Suhalla Gates. Up ahead, the stench worsened to the point of disgust. Dead soldiers were strewn across on the jade grass before the adepts. They quickly filed through the soldier's ranks, searching for survivors.
A low moan alerted Mia, who rushed to the still living combatant. The man was lying in a pool of crimson that steadily grew around his black hair. Mia knelt down and cradled the man's head in her lap, ignoring the burgundy stain forming on her clothes. Isaac, Garet, and Ivan also knelt down is silent respect for the warrior's final moments of life.
Reluctantly, Ivan touched the man's pale head and began to glow lavender. The slaughter that had awaited these men flowed through his mind, along with the person they were guarding. He could recognize the attackers on sight, a red sword and black scythe confirmed his worst fear.
Black clouds formed as the soldier's live slowly faded away. Ivan stopped his concentration, and he incoherently mumbled three words before collapsing.
"Saturos, Mendari," there was a short pause before his final cry, "Sheba!"
Tears burst forth from the clouds above, while Garet carried the limp Ivan under a small overhang of rock. They were soon joined by the shaking Isaac and Mia. Alas, their work was not done, for Garet and Isaac pulled shovels from their packs and prepared to inter the dead. The rain hid the tears that even they would shed for such a loss of life.
After all the digging was done, Isaac and Garet retired beneath the jut of stone. Ivan was still unconscious, for some unknown reason he was unable to awake. His unopened eyes stared into nothingness, as his head rested on Mia's lap. It came as no surprise when Isaac sat beside Mia and held her close. Throughout the turbulent dark, the storm rained done relentlessly and soon the final three were asleep.
The towering spire of Venus lighthouse scratched the burning dawn as the adepts moved through the unconscious bodies of soldiers. Grim faces were worn as each adept pondered the next stage of their mission. The girl, Sheba, had become a part of their quest and they had to find a way to save her. Without a word, the four marched through the entrance.
In the high reaches of Venus Lighthouse, Saturos and Mendari stood poised to light the Venus beacon. Nearby, a blonde girl stood with her eyes clasped shut, close to the edge of the aerie, reveling in the soaring winds. Her jade eyes snapped open when a brunette boy climbed the limestone steps and called out to Saturos and Mendari.
'Felix,' the girl thought as she recognized his face mixed with his black tunic.
The three were arguing over her, she realized. These four were so enthralled in their argument that they did not notice the four ascending onto the platform of the lighthouse.
A floating purple pedestal ascended through the air above Venus Lighthouse with the adepts aboard. They were unusually melancholy in the calm before the storm, which held the fate of many lives in the balance. They were mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the aerie. The adepts had no time to enjoy it, though, as they noticed the quarrelling group before them.
"It looks like they are having a 'falling out' over Sheba," Garet put forth after recognizing each person.
"There is something more to it though. . ." Mia also inserted her input.
"It seems that Saturos and Mendari no longer trust Felix," Ivan expertly analyzed the situation.
"Looks like the perfect opportunity has just 'fallen' in our laps, let's go!" Garet made another unknown pun and the adepts sprinted towards the center of the aerie.
"I see you fools have finally arrived," Saturos sneered while drawing his usual crimson blade. Unnoticed by the adepts, there was a second wrapped bundle still strung across his back.
"I personally did not think that you would have the courage to show," Mendari's black scythe glowed an ethereal aura.
"Felix, take Sheba to safety," Saturos ordered, getting an affirmative nod form Felix. He slowly led Sheba down the stone steppes to the left elevator. Felix's gaze locked with Garet's eyes, momentarily, before disconnecting.
"Now we can stop the games and get down to business," both Saturos and Mendari launched into battle.

Short chapter, I know, but I am still busy moving. Also, did anyone notice the apostrophes around a few of Garet's lines. Well, I was playing GS to get back used to it, and I noticed Garet talks about Sheba's Fall before it really happens. Isn't that so cool!
Ivan: Here's the reviewers spotlight, since he is busy writing something important.
BTFreek AKA The 8BTFreek- I see that you changed user names on me. Thanks for the review, but did you have to use 'more twists than a 60's dance club?'
Anime-Master7- The djinni are mad because I didn't technically pick them up from their hiding places. Thanks for the review.
Lu Xun 88- Took me long enough? It takes most authors at least a month to update their work! (But that might be because they have actual lives, unlike me.) Thanks for the review.
luner- Thanks for the review.
MK- I am still working on the Ivan/Sheba for you, but it might take awhile. Thanks for the review.
