A New Sun
Chapter 1:A Journey's Beginning
By Daikar
It was a beautiful, bright and warm morning in the small village of Vale. The only people who were awake were three young Adepts who were practicing their psynergy in their training area.
"Chop" A boy who looked to be about sixteen said and an invisible sword chopped up some vines that were growing.
"Not bad Kith, it's definitely faster than the other day." Said a girl who appeared to be the same age as the boy.
"Yeah, that was okay. Now try some physical attacks." Another boy the same age as his two friends said.
"Okay. Energy Razor" Kith attacked with his sword but it was more powerful than normal. He swung at his friend who was using his own sword.
"Okay now try to hit me. Cloak" The boy turned invisible and all that could be seen was a faint outline.
"That's no good we can still see your outline. Go up against that white wall." The girl said.
The two boys fought but it was harder as one was invisible.
"Try this on for size." The invisible boy lunged at Kith with his sword but accidentally stepped into the light and became visible again.
"Too bad Daray, you stepped into the light which uncloaked you." Kith said to his friend as he blocked the attack.
"Damn it. It's too bright so I can't use cloak too well." Daray said.
"We could go into that cave that Isaac and Garet made an opening into." The girl said.
"What cave are you talking about Nerissa? There are no caves in Vale. At least I don't know of any caves." Daray said.
"The one that used to be blocked by the huge boulder, you know the one I'm talking about." Nerissa said but they both shook their heads. "It's beside Kraden's house I'll show you."

Later on that day the Adepts had finished their training. They were currently in their own homes helping their parents.
Author's Note: Kith isn't helping his parents but rather Daray's parents. It will be explained later on in the story.
"Daray, how was your and Kith's psynergy practice this morning?" Daray's father asked him.
"It went okay, my psynergy is getting more powerful everyday. Nerissa joined us and we went into the cave by Kraden's house so I could use 'Cloak' more effectively without any light to stop it from working." Daray explained.
"That's great that your psynergy is becoming more powerful. Maybe you'll be able to protect Vale someday." His father said thinking that it would be someday soon.
"Dad I know about what the elders want me to do." Daray blurted out.
"What? How? Amanda I need you down here." His father said stunned.
"What is it Marcus?" Daray's mother asked her husband.
"Daray knows about what we talked about last night, and I didn't tell him." Marcus said.
"I didn't tell him either." Amanda replied.
"I followed you last night after you left." Daray said.
"But how? We made sure nobody was following us." Amanda said.
They both were retracing what they did the previous night in their minds. They suddenly looked at each other and said in unison " 'Cloak' ".
"Yes I did use cloak so I could follow you without being seen. I stood just outside the Sanctum and listened to every word that was said." Daray told his awestruck parents.
"We should have realized sooner and made sure you weren't there. We'd decided not to tell you." Marcus said.
"Well I heard and I've decided I'm going to do as The Wise One and the elders wish and find Isaac and Garet." Daray said.
"What do you need to find Isaac and Garet for?" Kith said surprising them as they had forgotten he was there.
"The great healer and the elders will explain it to you both properly. They want you to go to the Sanctum so they can explain it to you better." Amanda said.
With that Daray and Kith made their way to the Sanctum. When they arrived at the Sanctum there were three other people their age waiting with the elders and the healer.
"Well now that everyone has arrived we will tell you what needs to be done." One of the elders said.
~~~
The elders and the healer explained about the situation, why the five of them had been chosen and what they had to do. After all five agreed to find Isaac and crew the elders left the great healer proceeded to tell them what The Wise One wished them to tell Isaac and Garet.
"…and you must not tell anyone else what I have told you under any circumstances. We do not know who can be trusted." The healer said finishing off. "Don't even discuss it among yourselves as you never know who might be listening to you."
"I've got to tell you, this quest sounds like a lot of fun. When do we leave?" Daray asked.
"As soon as you can, tomorrow if you can. This information must be delivered quickly, The Wise One believes they are on their way to Lemuria, which lies across the ocean from the continent of Gondowan. You must head to the town of Lalivero, which is near Venus Lighthouse." The healer told them. "If they start sailing on the ocean it will be harder for you to get to them, harder but not impossible, I am sure you will find a way."
"Just one thing. Can we see The Wise One in person?" Nerissa asked.
"I suppose it isn't totally out of the question." The healer said.
The Wise One appeared at the back of the sanctum.
"Cool it's a giant floating rock with an eye on it." Daray said.
"Have some respect for The Wise One. After all he did guard the Elemental Stars for millennia." The healer said.
"It is okay. Now Daray, Kith, Lilithan, Nerissa and Alexis you must return to your homes and make your preparations as you need to leave tomorrow. It will take a few months to reach Lalivero and I fear that Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia will waste no time in heading to Lemuria to find Jenna and Kraden." The Wise One said and disappeared.
"You heard him, we have a lot of stuff to do before we can leave so we better start now." Daray said.
They all left the Sanctum and returned to their homes where they stayed up late into the night preparing their weapons, armor, healing items, food and whatever else they needed on their journey to Lalivero.
End of chapter 1.
That's the first chapter I will include actual descriptions of the characters in chapter 2. As always review the story to tell me what you think of it. And to the creator of Lilithan if she could tell me some psynergy for her character split into groups starting, intermediate, advanced and out of battle psynergy I would be grateful. Thanks for reading.
