Chapter 6 - Fall of Imil
-------------------------------------------------------
Alex swore as he applied yet another wet rag to yet another victim. Ever since Sheba had gotten both himself and Jenna to aid in the healing of Felix, dozens more fell ill. While the symptoms were known (vomiting, fever, and clammy skin), the cause was still elusive.
Groaning as he stood, he rose to check on Jenna. Ever since the crisis started, both he and Jenna were constantly running around to aid all of the cases. And while he had handled a large disease in Imil, this was something new for Jenna.
And without Mia, the job was nothing short of impossible.
While she had focused on healing techniques, he had spent his time learning how to hone his attack powers. Mia had been furious when she had learned, though he had done so to show that he was worth her attention... Ironic that he would go and try to prove himself on a quest, only to find another...
He chuckled as he rubbed Jenna's back, thinking to when he had cornered Mia after he was rescued. He explained his reasons for leaving Imil, and that he had fallen for Jenna. However, Mia was far to infuriated to forgive him. The pain that she inflicted on him with her hate soon vanished once Jasmine was born, though. Apparently, seeing him with his daughter had a profound affect on her...
Sadly, she and Garet were still in Vault, having gone on a trip to trade some Valean clothing for some exotic foods. Oddly enough, they had not returned, though they should've..
Hearing the door open, he turned to see Jasmine pushing a small cart with Nygel in it. *Great. Who isn't going to be sick?!*
Leaving Jenna's side, he walked towards Nygel, checking his temperature. Placing his hand against his head, he reached for a wet cloth, only to have one placed on his patient's head.
Looking up, he saw a woman standing above him, her long blue hair flowing down her back...
"Need some help?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Ivan slashed through the trees and vines before him, cutting an escape path for himself and Feihzi. What had started as a midnight stroll had become a fight for life.
They had witnessed the huge rock that decended through the air, watching it land within the crater. And they both feared for Isaac and Hama's saftey...
As he cut through another bush, he cursed himself for leaving his Teleport gem at home. The one time that he didn't have it on him...
Running for shelter in the lighthouse, they neared the clearing that lead to the entrance. While he didn't expect to be to hide for long, he hoped to stall them. After all, they were aligned to the powers of Jupiter...
Hearing Feihzi scream, he whirled around. A tall warrior clad in silver stood over her fallen form. The man had a sword of some kind, but it was still sheathed on his belt. His pale eyes (were they pale, or were they silver?) stared at him, a slightly cold look on his face.
"You must be Ivan."
Summoning his psynergy, Ivan called up a barrier to buy himself time, in case the man was as strong as he appeared.
"Yes, but who ar..."
Ivan never saw the man move. Before he knew it, the man was upon him and backhanded him across the face, sending him sprawling near Feihzi. Before he passed out, he saw the warrior walking towards him, seemingly lost in thought...
-------------------------------------------------------
"What the?!"
"Oh my...!"
"RUN!!"
Running out of the Imilain sanctum, Justin saw the people of the icy village running. But from what?
Looking towards the icy cave, he got his answer. At least seven feet tall, vaguely resembling a human, skin tones of a brilliant red, and not two, but three arms, the thing was a monster. And it was torching buildings as it walked into the village.
Swearing, Justin ran forward, hoping to be able to rescue anyone unfortunate enough to be left behind. He knew full well that he didn't stand a chance against the flaming behemoth, but he had no choice. Mia had chosen him as the lead healer, and he had to fulfil that role.
As he neared the beast, he noticed that another figure was behind it. Clad in ruby armor, about five-ten, and wily red hair, the man was obviously a warrior of high skill.
And as good a healer as Justin was, he was, by no means, a warrior.
But if the warrior and his ally were as powerful as they seemed, the people of Imil hadn't a chance...
...unless he stalled them.
Summoning a shower of diamond-hard hail, he watched as the two fire adepts simply ignored his efforts. How was that possible? Though he was weak, a fire adept should at least *flinch* under a water adept's attacks...
He quickly realized that his "efforts" would be in vain...
Frozen in terror, he didn't notice the monster passing him, continuing its assault on Imil. He barely noticed the warrior approaching him, of his drawn blade. Even as the blade made its way through his stomach, he stared beyond Imil...
At the massive army marching... An army of mutations...

Sheba - And I was where?
...
...
Aw crud... I'll have to add you when I can...
Sheba - _
Well, anyway...
Sorry bout the delay here, but I've been busy. I *do* have RoA7 written, and RoA8 under way. Please bear with me, as my free-time is being cut short daily.
And I am sorry, but I cannot comment on reviews because 1) I am not on the internet as I type this 2)I forgot to print out the reviews earlier today and 3) I'll wait and do the reviews for this chapter...
Sheba - REVIEW!!! He needs six reviews to post RoA7... Tell your friends!
Karst - HE DOESN'T OWN GOLDEN SUN!!!
And here's a small hint of what to expect from RoA7 (Titled Aphrodite's Curse...):
1) Pier's has time to think, and we see him and Karst after the lighthouse...
2) We learn of the plague that is going around...
3) We learn that Vale isn't the only place infected...
And that's all I can reveal right now.... Oh, and in RoA8-
Agatio - That's enough. Let them suffer in anticipation!
Karst - 0_0
Sheba - Those tutoring lessons are paying off...
Agatio - _
