Hey great news it's a new chapter of the story. I know you all have been eagerly awaiting this. Just to point out that Venus Lighthouse has been lit and the characters are trying to get to Lalivero before the others get onto the ship for Lemuria. It doesn't necessarily mean that they will get there on time or that they won't, I haven't decided. Enjoy reading cos I enjoyed writing it. Daikar.
A New Sun
Chapter 4:The Rescue
By Daikar
"Somebody please help my baby!"
'Out of nowhere a creature similar to a zombie had appeared and grabbed a baby from a woman.
"We have to got the baby away from it before we can attack." Nerrissa said.
"Leave that to me. You guys focus on killing that beast." Daray said. "Dusk!"
The entire town of Vault was plunged into darkness as Daray cast his psynergy. Then he disappeared.'
"That boy disappeared. Where'd he go?" A few people were saying.
"My baby…h-he's f-f-floa-t-ting in t-the air." The mother stuttered.
"It's okay ma'am I've got your baby." Daray said appearing as he uncloaked himself. "Guys, keep attacking while I check for other monsters!"
'Infuriated that the baby had been stolen from right under his eyes the monster went mad attacking the group.
"Whoops missed me. Priest Blessing." Nerrissa said just dodging the monster.
A golden light began to encircle Lilithan, when it stopped she felt almost unstoppable.
"Blade Flare." A silver sword appeared as Kith used his psynergy and went through the zombie.
The zombie seemed unfazed by the attack.
"Juturna." For a moment it appeared as though the group was underwater. Then blasts of water from the seafloor went crashing into the zombie sending him to a watery grave (excuse the pun).'
"That was some battle don't you think, Daray?" Lilithan said. "Daray? Daray what do you think?"
"Hey where did Daray go anyway?" Nerrissa asked.
"After he returned the baby he went to check for other monsters. He told us." Alexis said in reply.
"Well let's go find him and leave." Kith said and began to walk away.

Ten minutes later…
"There you are, we've been looking for you. We beat the monster, did you find any others?" Lilithan shouted to Daray.
"Shush! I thought I saw someone run off after the monster appeared." Daray told them.
"It was probably a frightened villager. What did the person look like?" Alexis asked.
"He ran off pretty quickly but I got a pretty good look at him before he did. He had long deep blue hair. He wore an icy blue tunic and maybe a white shirt underneath it, he had black pants too. It looked like he had a staff at his waist held by a blue belt. He had a a what's the word…oh, glacial blue-white cape. He swished it before he disappeared. I didn't get a look at his face though." Daray said describing the mystery man.
"Well, he doesn't sound like a typical village person, does he? Perhaps we should ask around the town to see if anybody knows him or even saw him." Alexis said.
"Yeah, you're right. But I definitely saw someone. Do you think he brought that zombie into town? I mean it obviously isn't a common occurrence because nobody was able to fight it, they were all too scared." Daray said.

Back in the center of Vault the people had all gotten over the fright of the monster attack.
"It looks like everything is back to normal here. Let's start asking around about the man Daray saw." Nerrissa said.
"Excuse me sir." Daray said tapping a man on the shoulder.
"Em yes." The man said. "Oh, you are the group of youngsters who stopped the monster and saved the baby."
"Well yes we are. But we were wondering if you know anybody who has -" Daray started to ask.
"Please you must come with me. I am the Mayor of Vault and I would like to thank you officially." Said the Mayor.
So they followed him past the Inn, up some steps and into a house. When they entered the house there was already a group of people there.
"Attention everyone. These are the courageous people who stopped the monster just a little while ago." The Mayor said.
The group of people all rushed over to the Adepts and began shaking their hands and saying thank you.
"Okay, okay. Calm down all of you. As the Mayor of Vault I would like to thank the five of you for being so brave and rescuing my nephew." The Mayor said.
"You're welcome but we were just doing what anyone would do given the chance." Nerrissa said.
"Well we would like to give you this as a token of our appreciation. It's not much but-well here take it." The Mayor said and handed Daray a small parcel.
"Thank you very much. We're very grateful. But we were wondering if you've seen anyone who fits this description or if he lives here in Vault." Daray said and began to describe the mystery man to the people in the house.
"I don't think I've seen anyone who looks like that. You think that he might be the one who brought the monster into the village?" The Mayor asked.
"Yes. After the monster appeared I noticed he disappeared rather quickly. I don't have any proof it's just a hunch." Daray said.
"No I haven't seen him and there haven't been any reports of strange looking men in the village. Not since the volcano in the north erupted." The Mayor said.
"You mean Mt. Aleph. That happened a pretty long time ago and there's been no one strange since then." Lilithan said.
"Yes that's correct. This man must be a traveler who was passing by the village. I'm sorry we couldn't be of any help to you, but I'm sure the Innkeeper would let you rest up in the Inn for free." The Mayor said.
"Thank you very much but we must get going. We have a long way to go before we'll get to Isaac and Garet." Daray said and made his way to the door.
"Goodbye and thank you again." The Mayor said as they left.
"Okay now which way should we head next? According to The Wise One Lalivero is in the southeast near Venus Lighthouse. But there are mountains in between here and there so we can't go directly there." Daray said.
"There's a town just southwest of here past a bridge. It's supposed to be a great trading town. We should go there first and then from there we'll decide." Kith said.
End of chapter 4.
That's it. If you read it review if you don't then what's the point of writing it if nobody's going to say what they think of it? So be a responsible reader and review. Lilithan don't worry about the new rule just review as a normal reader and if you have info on Lilithan just add it, don't worry. Till next time readers, bye bye.
