Chapter 3
Selena's POV
As the smell of fried bacon and eggs reach my nose I was driven out of a curious dream. I was standing in a forest, and under one of the trees there sat a man. He felt familiar as if I had seen him recently, but he had no distinguishing characteristics that could tell him apart from anyone I knew.
*Flashback*
"What are you doing here?" I ask. His head snaps up as if startled, and then I see recognition in his eyes. "I'm thinking" He replies. "Just thinking?" I ask. He nods his head yes. I sit down by him, and lean back on the tree. "Are you going to reply to my questions in only simple answers?" He smirks. "Why not, the simplest of anwers are usually the best understood." "Ha!" I say. "That wasn't a simple answer!" "Damn, you caught me, guess you're to smart for me," He says while turning the smirk into a real smile.
"So, you never gave me a straight answer to my first question." The smile drops from his face, he looks down, and sighs. "I'm hiding" "Hiding? From what?" I ask. "From them." "Who's them?" "They are my controllers." I pause, "controllers?" "They control my loyalty, and what my objectives are. And I dare not disobey them for if I do, the girl I call sister shall be harmed." He pauses, "but you can help me, you can save me from them." "How?" I ask. "I'll tell you next time, for we're out of time, go now or your friends will miss you. Good Bye." "Bye."
*End Flashback*
'I wonder who he is', I shake my head and look over to where Felix is cooking. "I didn't know you could cook." I say. He smiles, "there are many things you don't know about me Selena, but you're welcome to find out. Go wake the others breakfast should be done soon." "Kay Felix."
I walk over to Kraden and gently shake him awake. "Kraden wake up, Felix made breakfast." "Fine, fine, I'm up. Now go away." I shake my head, old men can be cranky when woken up early in the morning, but I do as he asks, and I walk over to Jenna.
I try to wake her up but all I get is a "Go away Felix." 'Jenna needs to be taught a lesson about waking up when called me thinks. Maybe a little cold water would do?' 'God I love my evil side.' "Felix do you by chance have a bucket do you?" He shakes his head yes. "It's right over there, by the river." "Thanks Felix." "No problem."
I slowly walk over to where the bucket is so as not to 'accidently' wake up Jenna, who was coincidently sleeping right by the river. I pick up the bucket and fill it with water. Then I turn around and slowly lift it over her head....and let it fall on her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" Jenna jumps up and glares at me. "Why did you do that for!" She shreiked. "You just looked so vulnerable, and bucket was right there, plus the fact that you wouldn't get up when I called you, and you called me Felix, need I go on?" She just glared at me. "Good now get packing we're going to have to start moving if we're to make it to Biblin before sunset." "Whatever you say Selena," Jenna says as she rolls her eyes. And I went back to my job of waking people up.
I guess Jenna is good for something, because of the loudness of her shreiking she managed to get both Saturos AND Menardi. Who were very deep sleepers, though not not as a deep sleeper as Alex is apparently.
So I walk over to Alex and try the gentle approach, which only gets a unintelligable sound. Then I try poking in various places on his body, and he just rolls over. By this time I could see that his shoulders were shaking from laughter. I bend down and whisper in his ear: "Do you want to get up, or do I have to get the water bucket?" At this he jumps up, "I'll get up now just don't use the bucket please!" "I thought you were a Water Adept, why are you afraid of a little ice water?" "Because it's ICE water." "I get your point. By the way Felix wanted you to get up and pack, we're headding out after breakfast." Alex nodds.
Selena sighs and moves away to study the cave that should bring them closer to their quest. She turns and looks out over the water by the cave and thinks a single thought before returning to the group. 'I wonder what this day will bring.'
Alex POV
After we ate breakfast, Felix and I were sent to see if we could get the ivy off of the log that was blocking our way through to the opening of the cave. Felix was trying to rip it off the stomp before I eventualy stopped him and told him to give up. "We need either a Wind Adept, or a 'Whirlwind Stone'." "How can you tell." "Just call it a hunch, hey Menardi! Do we have a 'Whirlwind Stone'? Felix here needs to get the ivy off of this stump, and that's the only thing that could do it without getting a Wind Adept to do the job." I yelled across the feild.
Menardi nodded yes, looked through her pack and took out a small diamond shaped stone the size of a robins egg. She handed it to me, "thanks." I hand it to Felix who in turn looks confused. "You equip it to yourself Felix." He just stares at me, "just hold the stone in the palm of your hand, there that's it. Now focus on the power, now draw that power into yourself." As he does this I see the chip turn a light blue color and slowly sink into his hand, Felix stares at his empty hand afterwards amazed. "Now you can tap that power at anytime by saying the word 'whirlwind."
"Thanks Alex." "Your welcome, now use your new power on the ivy, time does not stop for the unprepared adept, and we still have to make it to Biblin before the sunsets." Felix nods and goes over to the ivy covered stump, raises his hand toward the stump, and whispers 'whirlwind'. The stump flashes white then a whirlwind appears and takes the ivy into it's depths before dissappearing back into the wind. With a quick use of 'move' from Felix on the stump we enter the cave.
A/N: Yes, yes, I know I promised you Biblin but my brain is fried from the first bit of sunlight that my towns had in weeks. And suprisingly it was really hot today, I think it was somewhere in the 80's or 90's.
Next time: Biblin!
