Me: Things starting to heat up!
Flash: Burn baby burn!
Flint: I crave for action and more action.
Me: I promise all those things and some plot twists that I made up on the spot. So enjoy!
Conservato tapped his fingers and 200 guards appeared by him (where does he get so many?). He then said,
" You idiots! Do you think you can get by me? For Lemuria, attack!" The guards rushed towards the adepts. Garet snickered and cast pyroclasm. A huge fume of fire appeared before their eyes and burned its enemies. Ivan followed up with spark plasma. Thunderbolts appeared in waves and shocked the guards into paralysis. Mia cast glacier and a huge frozen slab struck the guards. The guards shrugged the blow off because they were water adepts. The guards reached their positions. Isacc, Garet, Ivan, Felix, Piers unsheathed their swords and slashed wildly at their opponents. The girls stayed close behind them and cast healing spells to make them stronger. The Lemurian guards were no match for the adepts because of the adepts' experience in battles. Conservato got nervous and asked his friend to reveal himself. The cloak unveiled and it revealed Alex. Everyone was shocked except the Conservato. Felix was first to talk,
" What have you done to Sheba? Why were you waiting for us in Lemuria?" Alex chuckled and replied,
" Sheba is already in the other world. Don't worry she isn't going anywhere. I've been chatting with Conservato here. We've been discussing of creating a massive Lemurian army to conquer the world. After I gain the power of the true golden sun, Conservato will unleash his army to claim the world. You can say we are partners in crime." Piers couldn't believe it and asked Conservato,
" Is this true, Conservato? You want alchemy to be unleashed?" Conservato gave an evil laugh and answered,
" Yes, it seems unorthodox for me to unleash alchemy. Alex has persuaded me to build up an army. He'll use alchemy to benefit in return of destroying you guys right here, right now." Conservato and Alex both unleashed frost sphere. Huge blocks of ice crashed down at the adepts. They retaliated back in fury. Ivan and Garet challenged Conservato while Felix, Isacc, and Piers challenged Alex. Swords flashed everywhere. It seemed quite apparent that the Conservato wasn't just book smart. He was had pretty good swordplay. Conservato's nimbleness wore down Garet and his huge lumbering body. Conservato landed a slash at Garet's right leg. Garet shrieked in pain. Conservato was still inexperienced in the art of war and exposed his back to Ivan. Ivan used his weapon unleash to slash his head off. Ivan said,
" Take that you scrawny little bastard!" Jenna rushed by Garet's side and healed his leg. The flesh renewed itself and Garet was back on his feet. Garet and Ivan joined the battle against Alex. Alex used Luna blade, which rivaled in power to the Sol blade. Nobody was in league with Alex. Alex squashed them like little bugs. His swordplay was graceful but deadly. Mia was busy reviving people. Eventually her psynergy got tapped. Isacc continually battled Alex. Isacc fought his hardest but eventually got tired. Alex used the opportunity to cast diamond berg. Isacc was blown away from Alex with deeps cuts in his vital areas. Alex looked at the chaos he caused and laughed,
" Nobody can defeat me! Nobody can! Ha! Ha!" Suddenly a rush of soldiers came pouring in. Alex thought it was reinforcements yet there was something strange by the soldiers' uniforms. A guy with green skin and hard chest body and a girl with pink hair and grayish skin appeared in the front. They pronounced,
" Your time is up, Alex! We, Proxians will foil your plans whatever it may be." Alex was still gloating,
" Agiato (sp?) and Karst, what a stunt you're attempting to pull off. You really think you can kill me?" The Proxian soldiers lined up and all of them in unison cast fireball. Alex wasn't expecting this and fell before by the numbers of the fireballs. After all he was weak to fire psynergy. Alex coughed and bellowed,
" Damn you, stubborn Proxians. It may be best for me to leave." Alex ran towards the portal with great speed. Agiato and Karst followed him but couldn't catch up with him. Alex jumped into the portal along with Agiato and Karst. The soldiers carried bandages and healing ointments to heal the wounds of Isacc's party. Eventually Isacc's party stirred. Isacc asked the soldiers,
" Why have you come here to Lemuria?" A soldier who seemed like the general answered,
" We've heard rumors of Lemuria amassing an army. Prox dispatched troops to check on the situation. We didn't realize we'll be attack so we went in and found you guys, our saviors."
" I like the word saviors." Garet loosened his neck and uttered those words.
" We must return to Prox to relay the news. Get out there and kick Alex's butt. We'll be right there cheering you on. If you ever meet Agiato and Karst, just remember they are on your side." The soldiers left the premise. The adepts finally regained their strength. They approached the purple portal. They held hands and jumped into the mysterious portal. It didn't take too long for the porthole to end. They came out to a strange land, a land they have never seen before. It looked exactly like the world they knew yet it had a little tint of gray. The grayness made the scenery a little darker and more sinister. Felix said,
" Here we are, in Luna Gaia."
" Nothing is at it seems." Ivan said with intelligence but with randomness.
" It isn't much different from our world." Mia said.
" Damn it's so much darker and colder here." Garet stuttered because he was shivering.
" Let's move out! We need to find a town here to rest, if there is a town." Isacc yelled. The adepts raced across the fields. As they ran more and more, their hands became more and more numb due to the below average temperatures of Luna Gaia. Garet finally stopped running and said,
" The cold is killing me. I may be immune to the cold but I somehow can't bear the cold than I can bear the hot."
" Opposite elements cause either affinities or discord. In your case, Garet, fire adepts and the cold cause discord. Sorry man, you just have to deal with it." Ivan replied. Felix ran ahead because he thought he caught glimpse of something. Felix gestured for his friends to come over. They ran quickly to his position. He pointed to the moon. The moon was blue and it seemed like it was setting like a sunset. They watched the moon set and disappear. A dim sun appeared in the sky. The place got darker and it looked like it was nighttime. Garet summarizing the strangeness said,
" I get it. Luna in this world defines day and Sol in this world defines night." Everybody was amazed at what he said. Nobody thought he was that smart. Ivan gave him props and slapped him in the back. Felix then gestured to a nearby town. From a distance, it looked like a regular city. The adepts quickened their pace and reached the city.
The city was at first glance a little backward even compared to Vale. There weren't any markets, shops, or any building that you would find in a regular town. They spotted an Inn. The Inn seemed normal except the fact that the building was a huge hut with haystacks as being the rooftop. The clerk greeted them and said,
" Welcome to Inok! How can I help you?"
" Can we have five beds please?" Felix replied.
" Why five beds? You have 7 people." The clerk answered with great alacrity. Felix gestured to the 2 couples and she immediately understood. She made the beds. Everybody was chatting. Felix asked,
" Where do you think the lighthouse is?"
" I have no idea. Maybe we can ask the clerk for a map or some rumors about the lighthouses?" Piers answered with his straight face.
" I'm not in the mood of asking tonight. We'll ask tomorrow when we are all rested." Isacc responded.
The clerk returned and told them their beds were ready. The beds were on top of rocks. They didn't complain because they were so tired. Everybody crashed to bed except for Garet. He asked for bread and some hot soup. The clerk gladly cooked the food. Garet munched the food and fell face first on his mattress. He started to snore immediately.
Me: Nothing like ending a chapter with a loud snore. The next chapter will immediately head to the lighthouse, I swear!
Flash: Burn baby burn!
Flint: I crave for action and more action.
Me: I promise all those things and some plot twists that I made up on the spot. So enjoy!
