STONES OF MYTH: CHAPTER 1
The figure ran quickly down the darkened hallways. With his mind on only one thing and that was getting out. He quickly turned the corner, only to run into three soldiers. A smirk crossed over his lips. Skillfully, a black gloved hand unsheathed a blade of silver and fluorite. Soon the three soldiers became corpses cluttering up the floor.
"Yoarashi, you have less then a minute left. You must get out of there now!" Yoarashi looked at his blade now covered in blood. Chanting began to fill the hallway, the blade softly glowed green; the deep red blood that had once covered the ancient and powerful weapon was now gone. "Yoarashi NOW!" Emerald eyes rolled at the annoying voice.
"...Fine" The green eyes scanned the room, till they landed on a window. "Perfect." Quickly Yoarashi ran towards the window, using his arms to shield his eyes as he crashed threw the plate glass. His body was falling down, splashing into the water at the same moment that the building blew up. Green eyes resurfaced just in time to see flames, hear cries of anguish, and feel nothing. Unknown to all, a black figure slowly swam away, laughing on the inside. Calm and emotionless on the outside.
Late last night, a research facility was destroyed. There is little evidence as to who did it, what they wanted or even if the got it. Coming up ne- The TV was turned off.
"That is the forth building this month. What is strange is that none of the building had anything in common."
"Is there a pattern in the bombings Hiiro?" The four looked at the teen hidden in the shadows.
"Yes. Even though they were owned by different corporations, these corporations were all owned by one man, James Achilles. He had each facility researching different stones, and the one last night was apatite."
They all stayed quiet, listening carefully to what he was saying. "So far the buildings that had rubilite, garnet, aquamarine, and apatite had been destroyed. The one main gem that they were studying was not found. Une believes that whoever is responsible for the destruction, have a big interest in the stones. All we have to do is predict which one will be hit next." Quatra looked at the list of gems, something seemed familiar. They reminded him of...
"Setsuna..." Quatra stood quickly and headed towards Hiiro and his laptop. "These stones represent the planets." Softly pushing Hiiro aside, Quatra began to type. "These three represent Mercury, Mars, and Venus. This one represents the moon. These four are for Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. And this one for Jupiter. So far they have Mars, Venus, Neptune, and Mercury. Going by what we have here they will either go for the 'Moon' or the 'Uranus' stone."
"Hey great job Quat! Now where are these bases?"
