Chapter 4: I'm Her Only Hope
Felix's POV
The day was sunny and dry as usual. We had just finally gotten a ship to get us to Tolbi. I heard they always have a yearly festival in Tolbi called Colloso. They say every year Babi makes the participants go through a certain number of trials, if they are successful they move on to the finals, that's where the real challenge begins.
Sounds like fun.
But there was no way I could ever join even if I would win. We had to rush and find Venus Lighthouse soon and light it with the Venus Star, needed to rescue my parents, needed to save the world...
I just couldn't help but wonder what would happen if they didn't get rekindled.
"You sure have a distant look in your face Felix, you look... worried. Now how shall I say it? How unlike you." mused a smug voice.
Yep, that voice could definitely not belong to anyone else but Alex.
"What do you want, jerk?" I reply angrily, his words burning into me. This man had just implored that I was stone cold, and did not know how to feel.
"Get away from him, Alex! Stop bothering my brother, leave him alone would you?" Ah finally an ally. How nice it is to travel along side with my beloved sister, Jenna.
But I was having doubts because she was never meant to be in this quest all along. This quest was my burden alone, not anyone else's, besides Saturos and Menardi were always there one step ahead of me. Even if they meet up with Isaac there is no way they could beat Saturos and Menardi.
Jenna and Alex start what seems like an argument. Over what or whom, me? Well it is, but I didn't want to belive it. It's nice Jenna's standing up for me, but I'm used to this treatment. I don't really care about it, I am content with it.
"Enough of this foolishness! Alex what news do you have for us from Tolbi?" Menardi demanded, so vile for a woman.
"As you wish, dear lovely Menardi." Alex tried being a gentleman. It had no effect on Menardi. "I hear from what the people there are saying that the mysterious old man Babi has raided Lalivero with his soldiers and captured a little girl who they called 'Child of the Gods'... interested?" he asked.
"Hmm... Child of the Gods... interesting name. Maybe we could use this 'Child of the Gods' to help us. If able." Saturos thinks out loud.
What, more extra people to bother us? No way! We already have my sister and an annoying scholar with us, and I don't like it!
"Saturos you said that we weren't going to get anyone who isn't involved in this situation. And what if they can't help? That would only mean another extra person that would only cost us trouble!" I protest to everyone a little too loud.
And I'm actually not lying about this. I'm not talking about Jenna, I'm talking about her teacher (more like preacher) Kraden. What a pain in the neck - and I am not kidding. We had to listen to him constantly about Alchemy even though we knew it. Ugh, if the child we're going to abduct is even worse than Kraden, I am going to scream!
"You said that, but I didn't agree to it, Felix. Just wait and watch. This child maybe an Adept that we will need." Saturos counters.
'And what if they aren't?' I think to myself. There is just no winning when it comes to Saturos. Which is why I'm annoyed by him most of the time, but never voiced my thoughts aloud. But my face showed otherwise.
"Such a rebel already for someone your age Felix, how disappointing." Menardi taunted grimly.
I give up!
We had been training outside of Tolbi and near the docks, but we were careful enough not to be seen. Alex was elsewhere, obviously, he's always like that in training, Jenna's talking to Kraden about Isaac and Garet and how she misses them, though Kraden's mind was definitely somewhere else. It showed. Alchemy obviously, where else?
While I was distracted worrying about Jenna, Saturos and Menardi took the opportunity to hit and knock me out with Inferno and Fire Blast. Ugh, smart move, but I was slightly annoyed.
"A lesson for you to learn Felix, never take your eyes of your enemy especially if you know they can beat you badly." Saturos preached. I was listening to him but wasn't looking at him. Even though I was strong enough to fight, Saturos and Menardi just never let me, and said it was too dangerous and I would only get in the way and they always suggest that I take care of the hostages. I hate it when they always do that to me!
"Not fair, if you're training me, how come you never let me fight our enemies? Ugh!" I stammered. Menardi mused at my anger but did not say anything.
It was late at night, Jenna and Kraden are already asleep, Alex went with Saturos and Menardi outside to find which way to go after we capture that "Child of the Gods" they were talking about. I don't care, I'm not interested, just as long as they can help us at the following lighthouses and will not get in my way.
I was almost in the line of sleep when suddenly a voice spoke to me from nowhere, it was speaking to me in my mind.
'Felix, so agitated, such in a rush to light the lighthouses. You still have a lot of time, to light the lighthouses, to make up with Isaac, to fall in love...' the voice trailed off. It was a woman's.
"What? Who are you? Show yourself right now unless you're scared of me!" I say out loud cautiously. You're not going to hurt me, Jenna, and the others.
'Calm yourself, I am not here to hurt you or any of your friends. I am here to tell you something,' the voice spoke to my mind again.Wait, how did they know what I was thinking?
'It's a power from the Jupiter Clan called "Mind Read". The child you're going to capture and save is also from the Jupiter Clan, yet she does not know. She will help you light the Jupiter Lighthouse, Felix, she might be the one you've been waiting for all this time...' they sounded delighted.
'What? The one I've been waiting for? I have no idea what you are talking about but if they are going to be a help at the Jupiter Lighthouse, then maybe I do need them. I don't need to save anyone but my parents alone. Why are you bothering my thoughts woman, go away!' I yell at her in my mind.
'Alright, I will, Felix. But promise me one thing before I leave and promise me you will fulfull it.' they demand.
How strange, I have only known this woman for a few minutes and they tell me to make a promise like they've known me forever. But, if that's what it takes to make them leave me, then so be it. I will fulfill it. I am a man of my word.
'I do know you Felix, and have for a long time...' they add. She had been mind reading me again.
'Whatever,' I don't care if you know me, I have never seen nor met you anyways. 'Alright, what's your request?' I ask impatiently.
'Promise me you will love her for the rest of your life, and be there for her... promise me Felix, and promise yourself!' they stressed.'Since I have said what is all that you need to know, I will leave now as you wished.'
Wait, was she talking about my sister? Well that's easy enough, but something from the tone of the woman's voice implied that it had something to do with the child? Why? I need to know.
"Wait! Don't leave yet! Who are you talking about? Come back!" I shout aloud. Too loud. I end up waking Jenna but not Kraden, which is probably good.
"Felix, are you alright? Did you have a nightmare? It's okay I'm here." my sister assures and comes closer to give me a hug. She always was there for me.
"It's alright, I'm fine now, go back to sleep. We'll be travelling early in the morning and I still have training after that." I tell her, and she does as what I tell her.
Jenna is finally asleep again. I try to sleep but it was impossible. What that woman told me made me wonder. Who was she talking about?
'You'll know soon Felix, you'll know soon... just listen to your heart...' the voice whispers to me from nowhere.
'I will know soon. They're right.' Suddenly, I start wondering about this "Child of the Gods". 'I wonder what they look like, if they can really help me at the lighthouses, wonder if they were the person the voice was talking about - what! Felix snap out of it! You oughta punch yourself for thinking that! The girl is only a child!'
Which was true...
I'm probably right, all those three years of living and training with Saturos and Menardi, made me a cold person. Not once have I ever thought of falling in love, of meeting someone I would love for the rest of my life. I was always expected to be strong and alert, which only added to my reserved personality.
But why was I suddenly thinking of it now? I wish my childhood would've been more happy. Then I could really understand my feelings.
Impossible.
No, not now! I have to light the lighthouses first! No matter what, my family comes first always, besides, who would fall in love with me? I'm evil, I've wrecked too many happiness and lives from everyone, especially mine and Isaac's. If I told them about it when they actually do fall in love with me, they would hate me and will not accept me.
I'm not worthy of anyone's love. And I never will be...
Maybe that voice was just a form of my imagination. I'm evil, I don't fall in love. What that voice told me was just a lie. I'll just forget about it, maybe that way I wouldn't always have too many burden on my shoulders like right now. So I wouldn't have to be broken hearted...
I should've thought more about this chapter, well hope you like this you guys. Oh I just got this review and the person who wrote it begged me for it to be Windshipping, but I was kind of thinking and I wanted it to be Lighthouseshipping. So I'm having a hard time deciding. You guys vote and I'll count which has more votes and the one that wins is the one paired up with Sheba.
GoldenDaydreamer: I kinda wanted it to be Felix/Sheba...
Djinn: just wait till the next chapter and guys don't forget to vote! Reviews Please!
GoldenDaydreamer: Wow, you're getting good at saying that line! claps
Djinn: Well I do practice in front of the mirror you know.
GoldenDaydreamer: ohhhhhhhhhh
