It was a very smooth ride to Lemuria. The ship was fast but steady. The wings combined with the propellers made the ship go 150 miles per hour. The fresh air relaxed the crew after a long meeting with the people of Contigo. The sun shined brightly and the sea glistened in dark blue. It was a beautiful sight for the adepts and they could enjoy for 5 hours. It didn't take the ship too long to reach Lemuria. Jagged rocks surrounded the city and the sea mist made passage by air to the city impossible. Felix grounded the ship and turned to the entrance of "Sea of Time". Felix remembered the song that the children sang in Yallam during his adventures with Jenna, Sheba and Piers. The song was beautiful but hard to understand. Felix recited the song to everybody. Everybody nodded in appreciation. Felix said,
" It will be a bumpy ride to Lemuria. Brace yourself for impact!" Felix pushed the ship forward full speed to the whirlpool dead ahead. The ship lurched for a second trying to withstand the force of the whirlpool. Felix was surprised that the ship wasn't being sucked in towards the middle. He thought that the propellers were propelling the ship forward and making the journey to Lemuria that much easier.
Isacc, Ivan, Garet, and Mia were chatting about how they longed to see Lemuria. They didn't know they had to pass through whirlpools and such. Felix looked straight ahead. When he saw the ship aligned with the current, he used his psynergy to make the ship go full speed ahead. The ship immediately went of the whirlpool to the current. The current led them to the volcano. Felix turned the ship and made it do a loop around the volcano. Jenna and Felix weren't bothered but the rest got nauseated. Garet threw up on to Mia's robe. Mia slapped him. After the ship made 3 rotations around the volcano. Another whirlpool appeared. Felix did the same routine and got the ship to an open area. They could finally see Lemuria in the distance upon a hill of rocks. Felix pushed the ship forward. Suddenly the water in front of the ship rose. A huge figure with a long beard appeared. It carried a huge trident and said,
" Ye who wants to pass through must defeat me."
" Damn! I thought we killed you, Poseidon. Where's my trident? Oh no! We need a trident to defeat him." Felix said worryingly.
" Hmm.... You know my secret. You need a trident to defeat me. Are you the ones who defeated me last time?" Poseidon asked. Jenna answered,
" Yes we've defeated you! I thought we wiped you out last time."
" Ha! Ha! You just scratched me last time. I'm a god after all so you can't stop me. You've proven yourselves worthy last time. I'll let you pass for now."
" Thank you, oh great god of sea!" Felix said approvingly. The god disappeared and Felix sent the ship forward to Lemuria. The ship reached the cave of Lemuria. They docked their boat near the other Lemurian ships. Everybody packed their stuff and stepped onto the plank. They walked outside the cave to see the outskirts of the city. Isacc, Garet, Ivan and Mia were amazed at what they saw. They saw beautiful marble everywhere. The walls were nicely designed. There were hints of gold everywhere. The murals were beautifully painted. Felix asked them,
" How's the city?"
" Majestic! It's better than the storybooks." Mia replied.
" I can't believe how luxurious this place is." Ivan added on.
" I wish I owned this city." Garet said dreamily. Everybody pounded him to pulp. They walked to the entrance to Lemuria. The guards greeted them and asked,
" Do you wish to visit the city?"
"Of course!" everybody said.
" Well, you can't! The king ordered no visitors allowed in this city." The guards said rudely. Felix came up to the guard and said,
" Technically, I'm not a visitor. I've been to this city before. If you don't let my friends, I will squash you like a little bug." Felix hoisted the guard up. Just then 20 more guards surrounded them and aimed their spears at the adepts. The guard being hoisted inquired,
" Are you Felix? The, Felix who lit the lighthouses."
" Yes that's me." Felix said proudly. The guard grinned and said,
" They came to our city to be... arrested! Lock them up, boys." The guards made a tighter circle to capture them. Ivan unleashed whirlwind. The whirlwind flew 5 guards into the sky. The adepts made a break for it. Felix took care of their pursuers with grand gaia. Rocks were hoisted from the ground and crushed the guards. They proceeded into the city. The guards appeared in front of them in a straight line. Their numbers were in the hundreds. They all cast frost. Shards of ice rained down on our heroes. Garet instinctively unleashed Flash. They took minimal damage. Jenna cast dragon fume to burn fry her opponents. The dragon opened it mouths and char-boiled 5 of the guards. Isacc rushed into the fray. His Sol blade shined. Isacc jumped and unleashed Mediggo. A meteor came crashing down on the unsuspecting guards. Numbers of them died. Mia healed the party with pure wish and made a break for it to what they thought was Pier's house. An old figure appeared with a dark robe appeared. He pointed at the adepts and suddenly sleep gas veiled around them. The adepts crumbled to the floor and went unconscious. The guards took their bodies and threw them into city jail.
Eventually everybody woke up to see where they were. They felt like something bonked them in the head with a stick. They observed that they were separated into different cells. Felix cast the stone spires to break the door but to no avail. It seemed like the doors were psynergy proof. Isacc looked for his Sol blade but found out it was gone. The guards must have taken it. A guy with light blue hair and a stripped robe was seen in proximity to their cells. They immediately knew who he was.
"Piers! Long time no see!" Felix said. Piers finally realized it was his friends. Piers replied,
" What are you guys doing here? You've picked a wrong time to come here."
" Tell me about it." Garet said. Ivan took a better look at Piers and said,
" Why have they arrested you and us?" Piers shook his head. It had been a while that he had seen his friends. A lot of events have taken place in Lemruia. Piers finally explained,
" After lighting the lighthouses, King Hydros and the Lemurians celebrated. Finally their civilization would thrive again like it used too. The senate weren't very happy especially Conservato. As you could remember, Felix, he thought that Alchemy would bring doom to the world. Once alchemy was unleashed, Conservato and the senate got worried of the corruptness of the people. Alchemy, he thought would make people corrupt and pervert their moral values. Conservato and the senate unleashed the moral trials (similar to the witch trials). They tested to see if the evil parts of Alchemy were affecting them. A lot of people got locked up including me. They didn't really test. They just accused you and then locked you up. Eventually Conservato blamed King Hydros for not governing the people well. The senate overthrew King Hydros and banished him from Lemuria. Conservato became dictator of Lemuria. Enough about current events, why have you came back to Lemuria?"
Everybody started telling the story to Piers about Alex and the Luna elemental stars. Piers absorbed it in and finally said,
" I would be happy to join you. We have to think of a way to get out of here. I've been trying to get the key over there." Piers pointed to the key in the far right corner of the wall. Piers continued,
" I used my psynergy to bring the key to me but I was unsuccessful. I don't have the proper psynergy to grab the key. I hope you guys do or else we'll be staying here for a long time."
" Not to worry!" Isacc used the catch psynergy. A white hand appeared and grabbed the key and handed it to Isacc. Isacc immediately opened his cell and everyone else's cell. They fetched their weapons and armor and equipped them. They left prison and Piers said,
" I'm assuming the portal is in Ancient Lemuria. Follow me." He led the group to a stairway. It led them to an even older part of the city. A lot of the building crumbled away and there was no life here. The group spotted a purple portal. Standing in front of the portal was Conservato and his friend.
Me: Yep, I'm loving it. This chapter ends in a cliffhanger. Guess who's the friend is? It may be a little obvious though.
