CHAPTER 4: THE NEXT GEMS

They had trudged deeper into the forest and only stopped to rest or eat, Madison was soon lagging behind being the smaller and less active person. Kai slowed down so he was on level with Madison, "need help so soon" he smirked. She bowed her head in shame, and yet again she felt his hand on her shin.'Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush!' she kept telling herself, but guess what, she blushed! 'Damn cheeks!' Kai smiled when he saw her cheeks turn red, "don't be ashamed, you can get on my back and I'll carry you for a while." She smiled sweetly and he felt his stomach do a back-flip, then she got on his back.(no this is not the moment i was talkin about)

Era was walking way ahead of everyone else even though the winged ones were meant to be leading the way, but they had been going straight through the thick dark trees. So it was easy, you just go straight. As her black leather coat swished out behind her, she adjusted her goggles and thought of her dream from last night.'Finally I'v had a dream!' she thought, it was just a simple dream. About her and Madison travling around on adventures, but she thought the dream was special.

"Era! stop!" she felt a hand grab her shoulder and pull her back, she wasn't looking where she was going and and almost walked off an edge of a wall. They were at a water fall and she had been one step away to plummiting into the waters, "Sorry I wasn't looking were I was going" she said. "Any way here you will face your next challenge" said Rameerez letting go of her good shoulder, and Kai was telling Madison what Rameerez was saying."Next challenge?" Era asked raising an eyebrow, "yes, you have to go down near the waters and wait for your challenger. The challenger is one of the element leaders, the water cheif" he explained."How did you know the chief would be here?" she questioned, "instinct" he stated in his usual calm voice, and Era frowned at his lack of explaination to her question. "fine" she muttered and walked to the edge, the only way down was to climb. She climbed down easily, since there were alot of foot holds in the earthy wall.

Once she reached the bottom she took a look at her surroundings, she was a mere inch away from water.'How am I surposed to fight like this' she thought, she waited for what seemed like hours then suddenly the pool at the bottom of the waterfall began to move. At first it just rippled from the middle then spiralling upwards fast, the water seemed to break and came down in heavy drolets. The was a blue figure suspended in mis air, is was staying airborn because of the fin-like waings. Its looked like a young women with fin-like ears and scales all over her, she also had webbed hands and feet. She dived down and flipped up then landed lightly on top of the water, she was standing on it! "I am Aqua, the water chief, and also your challenger" she said in a clear and strong voice. She got into a fighting stance, and Era mimicked her movement. The blue-scaled women leaped forward with amazing agility and tried to punch Era in the mouth, but she luckily got out of the way in time resulting in the bottom of her pants gettin wet.

'Man its so lucky I left my coat up there, I dont want that getting ruined' she thought, then she stepped back a little then jumped forward and did a horizontal kick at the womans feet and tripped her up. The others watched as if there eyes had been glued to the scene, Madison was clutching on to Kais arm as she watched Era take on the creature. The women got up quickly and tried to kick Era but she jumped back just in time, then while the clenched fist was rushing past her Era grabbed her arm and slammed her to the ground. Then she placed her index finger and thumb on either side of the womens neck and squeezed, she had got the right spot, the women froze. Then said shakily "You have won the challenge sorceress of dark, now my school may be your followers and you may have my services( u know like a school of fish, get it)." Era let go still being careful that it may be a trick, the women dived deep into the pool then sumberged again with a light blue gem in her webbed hand.

She handed it to Era, who felt a sudden rush of power when she touched it. Era was about to put it in her pocket when the women seemed to dive into the gem and disappear, ' weird'. Then she put the gem in her pocket and began to climb up the wall, and once she got back up Madison came over and hugged her tightly. Era winced slightly because her shoulder was still sore but didn't really mind it, Suddenly the water fall before them turned blood red and and the pool at the bottom turned to lava. "Oh my god" Madison screamed talking a step back, Kai held her arm to keep her inplace. "Now you must get your gem" he stated, Madison nearly fainted, "what!? but I cant fight!" she exclaimed. "you don't have to, Era has shown the strength now you must show intellengence." He ushered her over to the edge but kept hold of her incase she fell, then a flaming figure jumped out of the lava and flapped its flaming red wings to keep it up in the air. It was actually a he, and had hair that looked like flames, and a orange-red skin (just like the firey outa card captors).

"Young sorceress of light my name is Falco, the fire cheif, answer my three questions correctly and you may take my people as followers" he explained, he flapped his great flaming wings and landed next to her."If you were in a battle against a water element, how would you think of defeating it?" he asked, "umm.. I'm not used to fighting but ice would be effective, or maybe fire 'cause it evapourates water" she answered, "good answer, now what would you if some one was about to attack you?" he asked, "I would try to convince them not to by talking to them" she answered getting more confident. "Good, now tell me, what would you do if you had to choose between love or duty?" he asked. Her confidence dropped, she didn't know what to choose, she knew that duty is important but love and friendship etc. was also important, atleast to her. Her now deceased father had once told her that you must follow your heart when it comes to decisions, so thats how she answered, with her heart. "I would choose love, for I follow my heart" she answered. The creature smiled warmly,' funny, he smiles warm and he represents fire' she mentally laughed at her joke, but stopped realising it wasn't really funny. "You have passed the test you may take my people as followers along with my services" he bowed and handed her a blood red gem, then disappeared inside it.Madison, like Era, felt a surge of energy run through her body.

Era came over and congratulated her sister by giving her a hug, it wasn't her style but she had been changing slightly over the past few days. She felt more open with her feelings, maybe it was because she had dreamed instead of having nightmares. Rameerez smiled when he saw Era embrace her younger sister in a hug, 'its strange how the two can be so...caring, the previous soceresses,even the light sorceresses, would act like an over all ruler of just about everything. They stupid greedy tyrants! ....And Era is the most beautiful I'v seen so far, wait did I just think that!?' he shook his head slightly and walked over, "Era that was your first real challenge and you did well, but I must warn you that the challenges get tougher from here on out" he said. Era nodded went to get fire wood, they had decided to make camp and rest for now. Rameerez followed her, and Kai and Madison were left alone(get ready for the moment! well its nufin much but hey atleast its summin eh).

"I bet your glad you don't have to fight" Kai said, "yeah I am" she said looking at the waterfall which had now truned back to normal. She was beggining to get hungry and went to her bag to get a snack, on the way over she somehow didn't notice Eras bag and got her foot caught, then she fell. She closed her eyes waiting for the floor to hit her but it didn't happen, she opened her eyes to see crimson eyes looking at her as if amused. "err....thanks" she stuttered and felt the blush once again rising to her cheeks, he was holding her with his hands around her waste. He let her go and blushed slightly, letting the pale-pink colour rise to his face. He wanted her to see it, so he wouldn't have to tell her, but show her. She saw it, and turned even redder(if it was possible). Kai smirked, 'perfect' he thought.

Era came back through the dense trees to see both Kai and Madison blushing, she would of burst out laughing but it was against her better judgement.'Hahahaha what next eh?' she thought, they sat down and ate in silence. As Kai and Madison went to sleep, Era went and sat against a tree, listening to her music through the C.D player. Rameerez sat down next to her and said something, but she couldn't hear. She took out the ear phones, "Sory what did you say. "I said how did you feel when touched the gem?" he asked, "I felt a weird energy, why?" He smirked "Its funny because every sorceress has felt that energy when the touch the gems for the first time" he said, then looked at his wings seeing if they were dirty. "What does it feel like to have wings?" she asked looking at the jet black wings, he considered for a moment then answered. "Well flying is great, and its just feels like an extra limb" he said. "I envy you, you get to fly, I bet its great to just soar above the trees and feel the wind on your face" she said."Maybe you'd like a flight, I could carry you whilst I fly. But not tonight, maybe in the early morning when the others aren't up" he smiled. "Alright, wake me up when its time" she replied. He nodded, then watched as she got in her sleeping bag.'Maybe she does like me... I hope so, I can't believe i'm thinking this,' he shook his head and leaned back against the tree.
