Chapter two- The Lighthouse

There are strangers in the village. Three boys, two of them are my age. The other is younger. They speak of a great danger. I heard this from the Inn keeper. You see they spent the night in the Inn. I am too shy to meet them. I am not bold when it comes to meeting people. I would prefer to stay inside and watch them. My only friend is Elizabeth who moved away three years ago. I miss her sometimes.

The coughing sickness has become worse. Grandfather caught it. When I heard the news I went to cure him. When I arrived I met the strangers. I was very nervous but I managed to stay calm. I felt so shy.

I observed them as I went towards Grandfather. They seemed very worried about something. I do not know what. "Please stand aside, I need to look after grandfather" I told them. They stepped aside as I healed him. Then suddenly I saw the lighthouse come alight. Oh no, it can't be. My village is threatened. This is terrible news I ran from the strangers to the lighthouse. I must stop them.

When I arrived at the lighthouse, the doorway was blocked by a statue. I tried to move it but it was too heavy. As I tried to push it, the strangers arrived. They introduced themselves to me. "I am Isaac" said the golden haired boy; he had the sort of face I could trust. I felt my insides squirm; I think I am in love. I will not tell him about how I feel at present. The tall boy introduced him self as Garet. He was very tall and red haired and seemed nice enough but I feel slightly nervous of him. The third slightly younger is Ivan.

After I introduced myself, I asked them is they could move the statue. "Yes easy" said Isaac with a laugh. He suddenly conjured a great hand; the hand moved the statue with ease. I stared at him stunned. Isaac looked at me puzzled. Then I hurried off through the doorway.

As I continued down the passage I bumped into a monster blocked me. Once again Isaac helped me. Ivan said to me" Let us come with you, we want to help". I accepted his offer and we traveled through the lighthouse together.

It wasn't easy. It was scary, though I don't want the others to know. We faced many challenges, although I barley knew the boys; we worked well together. When we finally reached the top, I saw the lighthouse ignite. I gasped. This was bad news for Imil. I must protect Imil.

Another dose of awful news, Alex has turned against the ancient group which taught him so much. Power is all that matters to him now. Alex left to see the world, instead he found power. He has allied himself with Saturos and Mercredi. They intend to unleash the power of the Elemental Stars on the world; if this happens then everyone is in danger. I hate him, Alex asked me to join him but I never will. This is another one of my faults I am stubborn.

Isaac is angry with them too, they kidnapped his friends. We battled Saturos for Isaac's friend's freedom. We defeated him; unfortunately Isaac's friends were not freed. Isaac was eager to leave and give chase of his friends but then I pointed out the Water of Hermes has been fixed. Isaac quickly took a flask and filled it with the water. "This is another part of the quest" Isaac said smiling.

When we returned to Imil, I decided to leave to leadership of the Mercury Clan to Sam who is kind and gentle. I have found destiny has thrown me in the path of Isaac and his friends. I will leave Imil. I will return someday.
