Okay, in this chapter, it has Ivan's, Sheba's, and Felix's POVs so get ready to be confused! Hey NO just kidding, hope you enjoy this chapter and try not to get confused. Here's CHAPTER 6!
Chapter 6: One Last Visit
Ivan's POV
It's a good thing that we've finally found Babi, it turns out that he was stuck there at Altimer Cave, lying there, invisible and writhing in pain. I'm glad that Isaac, me, and the others were there to save him just in time even though we didn't know who we were talking to. But it didn't matter, whenever someone was in trouble, me and my friends always have the time to save the helpless.
The citizens of Tolbi can finally calm down and stop worrying about their lord, and most importantly, Collosso can start! It was really good that we found Babi, we even got to go there and see the tournament!
And the best thing, Isaac is entered in Collosso! What luck! And tomorrow morning is when it'll start. I bet Isaac will sleep well tonight.
Well, besides that, what's for me? I mean me, Garet and Mia also helped as well and there was nothing for us there to claim. Garet and Mia seem content with it, but I'm not.
There are also some bad things about finding Babi. He's taking Sheba back to Lalivero. Some luck huh? I mean I don't really know Sheba much but... being so close and intimate with her mind just seems so... right...it felt right to me... I'm glad she still let me mind read her even if her mind was occupied.
Now she's going to leave...
'Sheba please stay with us a little longer...' I wished to myself. That's a wish I would do anything for just so it could be fulfilled.
But there's really nothing I could do, just hope. But doing only just that would be futile and unavailing, of course.
There's too many things going on in my mind right now, I think I'll go for a walk for some fresh air.
Sheba's POV
'So, you actually found Babi and now he's making you feel heroic and oblivious, but soon all of the good you think you see in him is just a front to fool all of you.' I thought silently to myself. 'You'll see... but I am thankful to all of you because now I can return home...'
I guess I really have no reason to hate Ivan and his friends; in fact, I need to thank them because I can be free to see my family again, even though I can't have any freedom for myself.
I cannot possibly believe how Isaac, Garet, Ivan, and Mia could easily fall for that selfish old man's cheap trick.
It's true that Isaac, Garet, Ivan, and Mia deserve to be treated like heroes and Babi rewarded Isaac to enter Collosso, but there's a catch, I know it!
I think I know what Babi's target is if he could persuade Isaac and his friends to help him: solve the puzzle of Venus Lighthouse so it could be connected to Babi Lighthouse. After that, Babi will just give them some useless reward then they could go.
Why should I care though? I'm just a girl from Lalivero who was kidnapped, who is treated like a prisoner in this horrid place, and even if I am considered "Child of the Gods", I still don't get any respect I deserve from the people here - I don't get the freedom that I only wish for...
I should really clear my mind of things that don't concern and need me. But first, I need to find Isaac or one of his friends, so I could thank them.
Then suddenly a familiar voice whispered to me in my mind, 'It's almost time Sheba, it's just beginning. Remember what I told you before, not everything will go and seem right in the beginning and this is only the beginning and trust me, it will not be good...' it was the voice from my dreams!
But, why is she visiting now? Of course everything will be fine now, I can go back to my family. That's good isn't it?
'What are you talking about? The bad thing happened already didn't it? I can go back to my family can't I?' I ask them worriedly.
'I am afraid that is a question I cannot answer for you, you will have to find out for yourself. If I told you everything, no one would know what would happen to you...'
'So... I can't go back? Why not? Please tell me you're only lying, I don't want to suffer even more.' I confide to her.
'I am not sure what will happen for sure, everything is blurry, all you can do for now is hope.' she replied.
No, I just can't believe what I'm hearing, their lying, they've got to be lying. I just can't take any more of this!
'But no matter what happens, you will be safe, he will always be there for you, Sheba. This is my final visit. Good luck and farewell... you'll know the answers soon...' her voice fades again, her voice carried by the wind.
'Wait, who are you talking about? Who is he?' Ugh, I hate it when people give me vague information and leave me confused! But I have to remember what the voice told me, I will know the answers soon.
But for now, I need to find the ones who saved my capturer.
I couldn't have picked the best time of the night to find people. One is that no guards are there to watch me and send me back to my room. And two, no one would go up to me and worry about my safety. And as if they really will...
As I go deeper into the darkening hall, I could barely see anything, the only light I would have is by creating a small spark of light on my finger created by my psynergy, but soon I would run out of energy to build a spark. Oh yeah, I couldn't have picked the best time to look for Ivan and his friends alright...
As I reach the dark and cold intertwining stairs leading down, I am almost out of psynergy, I definitely could not see anything - at all.
As I finally reach the lower hall, I try to feel my way to Isaac or his friends' rooms. I still couldn't see anything.
I lost my touch on the wall and all around me is just a BIG space. I am definitely lost, next time I plan this again, pick a sligthly earlier time.
I tried running fast but carefully so I could not bump accidentally into something and make a huge noise, I have no idea or anything whatsoever where I am headed to, I was almost ready to give up running when suddenly, I bumped into something, no wait, not something, someone! Oh no, let's just hope it's not a guard.
The person I bumped into got up and moaned, "Oww, what in the world? Who's there?" their voice starts getting defensive.
Wait I know that voice, it's Ivan! I respond to his question quietly but excitedly, I'm not lost anymore!
"Ivan, it's me Sheba. I'm sorry about that, did I hurt you?" I surpised him and then his voice turns softer now. I can tell he's relieved, and surprised.
"Sh-Sheba? Wha-what are you doing out here? It's past midnight!" they create a spark with their psynergy as well to make sure it really was me.
"A-actually, I was looking for you. I needed to tell you something before I leave." as I was saying this, I could feel my face getting warmer, I was blushing. Ivan was smiling warmly just seeing me talk to him while I was blushing like mad.
I don't know what it was that speaking to Ivan made me blush but whatever it is, I'll find it out later. I need to tell him what I need to tell him.
"Alright tell me, come with me to my room." Ivan suggests, he understands that whatever I tell him is only for his and his friends' ears.
"Alright..." I reply back.
Felix's POV
"Are we still going on with the abduction? Because if we're not, it'd be probably be better for me." I remember that feminine voice telling that I need this GIRL on my journeys.
Lies, nothing but a bunch of lies, everyone has lied to me way too much, how do I know that this voice wasn't lying?
"Yes we are Felix, and what a stroke of luck. We don't have to raid Tolbi for the girl, today she's being returned back to her hometown today, and you all know in order to reach Lalivero they need to go through the Suhalla safely." Alex informs us.
Great, what luck! I have to see this girl that that lying voice was telling me. I bet this girl will just be trouble, I know it!
Jenna sees the annoyed expression on my face. "Felix you look annoyed, let me guess, didn't have enough sleep?" she teases. Great, even more nuisance for a horrible day already. She scored one on annoying me, we always played that in Vale, I'm surprised that she didn't get mad at me and we're still playing this game.
"Quiet Jenna." I counter back quickly, she pouts, annoyed by me obviously. Hah, point one for me too! She's definitely not happy with me scoring, she comes over and kicks me in the shins. Oww!
I just gave her a glare and she stuck her tongue out at me. Psh, little sisters, always have to win, always have to win. I try to get back on the subject.
"Alright Alex, your point?" I reply sarcastically back to his statement.
"If you're so dull not to see my point Felix, let me explain it to you! If they're passing through the Suhalla, then we could just take the girl without much difficulty." they counter back.
Shut up Alex! You and your lame ideas, don't you see? We don't need this girl, she'll just cause more trouble than help!
"Good idea Alex, do you know when at this day they're passing through?" Saturos sneaks in the conversation, the tone of his voice cold and lifeless.
Alex nodded his head, "This afternoon."
"Felix, you may think that kidnapping this girl is only trouble-" Saturos starts.
Finally, someone who listens!
"But, we need this girl if we're going to enter Jupiter Lighthouse. Alex told us that this girl is a Jupiter Adept, and-" he trails off for a moment.
Oh no, not you too Saturos!
"And if we are going to even think of entering Jupiter Lighthouse, you need one Adept of that clan to enter that lighthouse. We're taking this girl because there aren't many Jupiter Adepts out there, they're a rare bunch of adepts." he states.
'You see what I mean Felix? I wasn't lying...' suddenly, that voice visited me again in my mind. What do they want now?
'I'm here to let you know that once you go with this plan, there's no going back. You do need her at Jupiter Lighthouse, if you plan to save your parents then you'll need her first. And please trust me, I am not telling lies to you!' they speak again.
'Sigh...fine! If I need her that badly at the Jupiter Lighthouse then I'll take her, but after that lighthouse is lit, I'm leaving her - for sure!' I yell at her in my mind.
'Let's see you do that... you can't and you won't, Felix, you won't do it. This is my final visit to you and remember my words... good luck and farewell, Felix...' her voice fades away from my mind now.
"Alright, I will. I'll remember..." I silently whisper to myself.
"If you're done dwelling on your thoughts Felix, then we're just here to tell you that we're going with Alex's plans. And we need you to help us, whether you like it or not. Are you in?" Menardi snaps me out of my trance.
If I really need her just to save my parents, then how hard can that be? That girl may be just a child, but if they have powers of their own. Then they can protect themselves from any danger. I'm sure of it.
Saturos sees from my expression that my answer will be yes and I'm letting myself give into being evil. He nods at me, he's happy I'm listening to them. "You can fight her and the others if need be, Felix..." Saturos offers.
Finally. That's an offer I can't turn down, since I am fighting for a part of our needs.
"Alright, I'm in. Tonight, we're abducting the Child of the Gods."
