Well, well a lot of people liked the last chapter I have updated. Say that it was interesting or weird! Those are terms I am quite accustomed to. Anyway, here is chapter 10! This one is going to be chaotic I can tell you this much! Trust me, with all of the- whoops, I am not supposed to give that away in an introduction! Anyway, enjoy.

The adepts and the rest of the village rushed from there homes and carried on their back what they could manage. None of them expected this to happen; it pretty much ruined their evenings for the night. Finding out Iris, the goddess of souls and rainbows was about to have a sugar rush, was just about equal to telling everyone the Armageddon was here early! Once everyone had made it out of the panicked town, and taking last looks with mournful eyes at their rebuilt village, which is most likely to be destroyed all over again. The adepts sat down on the grass in a large circle, thinking about if there was anyway to stop the sugar rush from messing up vale again.
Felix rubbed his chin, eyes closed in deep thought, and the other adepts just stared at him hopefully, waiting for an answer from him. Felix opened one eye to see a bunch of brilliantly colored eyeballs in his face. "Do you people mind? I am trying to think, and you're invading my space!" The others just looked at each other and quickly backed away, sitting in Indian style positions.
"Felix, isn't there anyway to stop that insane maniac from destroying our home town?" Jenna asked, hoping he had a way to stop her right then.
"Nope."
"WHAT?!" All the adepts screamed in unison, gathering in front of his face, expecting a reason why for this unreasonable situation.
"Well, think about it, what are we going to do about it? Go inside her body using some kind of magic and take all the sugar out, in a few seconds?!"
"Well...umm...no." Isaac answered to Felix.
"Yhea, I guess he is right." Mia agreed.
"Well, we will just have to see what happens then guys, and hope she doesn't do too much." Sheba said, hopefully to cheer up the situation with a little enthusiasm.
"Alright, let's see what happens next then." Piers said picking himself up to look at the sunset over vale, one minute remained until Iris's little hyper burst.
Vale seemed to look a lot like the lighthouses sky did when it was close to being lit up again, eerie and quiet, although it was never really too quite because of the fighting that always seemed to interrupt such things. Only seconds remained until Iris's little sugar spree began....5...4... the seconds seemed like forever, but as soon as it reached zero everyone stood quite and waited for what ever it was to happen.
"What's wrong?" Sheba asked, looking towards the silent village. "Nothing is happening."
The others wondered this too, nothing happened and it was way passed the time it usually took for any kind of sugars to take effect, but as soon as they started to think nothing at all would happen a loud and horrifying sound came from vale, a sound of pysnergy being strained, almost strangled. Then a large beam the bigger than Jenna's searing beam could ever grow, shot from Felix's house and into the sky, causing the sky to swirl in a weird vortex sort of fashion. This scared the adepts and they started to worry about Iris and the sky.
"What's going on over there?" Isaac shouted over the noise.
Felix stared at the sky astonished. "Some really serious pysnergy...." Felix told everyone.
"Well, hope she doesn't have a massive headache, I know I did after the doom dragon battle." Mia added.
"I will never forget that, dang." Garet remembered the fight, rubbing his temples and frowning.
"I hope it stops soon, this sound is starting to annoy me." Ivan complained, covering his ears, as well as everyone else from Vale.
After about a good 30 minutes the sound had dimmed to about nothing and the beam stopped shooting from Felix's most likely destroyed home. The adepts as well as the rest of Vale were happy it had finally stopped, the earmuffs they had on were very annoying and not very comfortable, after all they were not meant for prolonged use against sounds like that!
"Well, should we go back then?" Piers inquired.
"We might as well, it's better to see the damage now then tomorrow." Felix confirmed.
"Yhea, I want to see if that sword of yours even lived Felix!" Sharon exclaimed.
Everyone nodded in agreement, they have probably faced worse things than this, and besides, it was Iris they were talking about! What could she have possibly done to Vale?
"Alright, let's go and see the damage then." Isaac suggested, telling everyone in Vale it was safe to go back inside of the formally bursting village.
Vale looked the same as it always had, unless you counted Felix's house, which looked like a tornado had hit it, and this was jut from looking at it from afar! Imagine if they went up to it right now? The damage would have looked much, much worse than this. Even though none of them wanted to approach his house, sooner or later they had to do it, or else someone would and probably see something they rather not have. Sighing with defeat, the 9 adepts left the entrance to vale and trudged to Felix's house, hoping it and anything valuable lived through the blast of sugar energy, like if Felix's sword had survived.
The house looked terrible, the roof was caved in, the door was gone, and the rest of the building was completely and utmost utterly gone. It looked like somebody had just come up to Felix's house, jumped up into the air and fell through the roof causing a chain reaction of destruction on his poor house, of course everyone knew that was not the case.
"Looks like a pile of crap, upon crap....upon crap." Sharon said.
"Sure does, that's going to take awhile to fix Felix, and a lot of money too." Mia told him.
"Dang it! I should have never invited her to my house full of sugared sweetness!" Felix wailed, holding his head as Jenna patted his back in sympathy.
"Where is Iris in all of this rubbish?" Jenna asked, looking up from her pathetic bother.
"I don't see her anywhere..." Sharon said looking around the house.
As soon as Sharon walked over to the supposed to be door way, Iris popped out from god knows where and yelled "Hello!" in an unheeded, but should be considered as such manner.
"Holy crap!" Sharon screamed and fell backwards onto her bottom, surprised to see Iris unhurt and happy for that matter.
Everyone stared at the ancient adept and glared at her menacingly. This made Iris shrink with fear, she knew she was in some serious trouble, and she had absolutely no way of getting out, the so called sugar rush to Iris, looked no different than being transported to a land full of pony's and sugar coated candies. But to the others it was a close relation to a nightmare.
"You're going down Iris!" Felix shouted as he leapt at her growling loudly.
"Not the face!" Iris screamed as she was tackled by Felix into the ground.
"Hey! Stop that, it wasn't her fault for being so innocent!" Sheba yelled, running to Iris's aid as Felix shook an Iris with anime swirls in her eyes and the classic drool with the mouth open thing going on.
"And why should I? She just killed 6 months of hard work Sheba!" Felix shouted as he continued to shake the unconscious Iris.
"That's no reason to give her a slight concussion!" Sheba shouted back as well.
"I guess so...." Felix sighed heavily and set Iris down on her back, he looked a little creeped out by the way she kept on drooling like that though.
"Well, this isn't really too much of a problem you know, I could just easily cast my restore on it." Isaac reassured Felix and the others.
"Oh Yeah! Just like you did to the wall that was destroyed a few hours ago!" Felix remembered just how Isaac had just fixed the wall he had destroyed a while back, before the Iris situation.
"That's great, now I can sleep tonight in my bed!" Jenna exclaimed happily.
"And Isaac and I can finally get back to his house!" Mia added, making Sharon growl a little.
"But, there is a slight problem." Isaac said suddenly, bringing the cheers and comments to a halt.
"What would that be saccy?" Sharon asked confused.
"Yes, what would that be, Isaac?" Mia said a little menacing, seeing that she heard Sharon call Isaac by a pet name twice today.
"I need to charge on a huge pysnergy stone." Isaac told them.
"Well, that shouldn't be much of a problem; after all, there is one at the Vale entrance!" Piers reminded him.
"Yeah, that's kind of hard to miss Isaac." Ivan said.
"That's not large enough." Isaac told them.
"Not large enough? Are you sure? How much pysnergy do you actually need to fix a house?" Felix asked, walking over to him from where he was moping.
"Oh, not much for a house, but to close an inter-dimensional portal that threatens to destroy vale takes a lot more than you think!" Isaac exclaimed.
"What?!" Everyone screamed in unison, waking up the unconscious Iris.
"What's going on? Why is everyone yelling?" Iris asked confused as to why and how long she had been out of it, she soon yelped as something made her sink a little, she quickly picked herself up from the ground and looked at the ground, only to find a weird puddle in the ground, that seemed to be growing slowly. "Um guys!" Iris called to the arguing adepts.
The adepts stopped their bickering about the nonsense Isaac was talking about and looked towards Iris, and instinctively the place to where she was pointing. There sat a puddle, slowly growing in size by the hour, threatening to devourer the town.
"He...." Sharon began.
"Wasn't lying..." Mia finished.
"Well, that's the strangest thing I have seen in my life!" Ivan commented.
Felix walked over to the strange thing and looked at it sternly, after a minute of silence to see what Felix would do; he turned to Isaac and frowned.
"Alright Isaac, it would seem that you were telling the truth...What do we do?" Felix asked a desperate look in his eyes.
"Well, first, we need to travel to the underside of weyward." Isaac began.
"The underside of weyward?! What are you talking about? That's impossible!" Sheba exclaimed to Isaac.
"Oh, but indeed it is possible, in my dreams the wise one told me a day like this would come, when a mistake would bring about the second most dangerous threat to the world. He told me about the underside of weyward consisting of a mysterious land filled with things we have never, ever seen, things we can never begin to imagine. He told me it would be a dangerous quest, and if we were not careful, we would most certainly fail." Isaac finished.
The others exchanged glances at each other and frowned, Isaac would never lie about something this serious sounding, and yet everyone was just getting used to the way life was! It was hard to believe, but there was no arguing with the wise one. Mia was the first to speak and break the uneasy silence.
"Isaac...wow...I never expected such a thing to happen, and after we were just starting to settle in too! This is just so hard to believe..." Mia frowned.
"I know Mia, I didn't want to warn you guys, because I wanted to spend as much time as I could being happy, even though you may say I could have prevented Iris's sugar rush, it would have happened in a different, much worse way..." Isaac told her.
"Worse? How much worse?" Sheba asked.
"Weyward could have been destroyed right now." Isaac told her.
"Oh."
Felix looked away from the puddle and then to the others. "Well, it would seem we have no other choice...Isaac is there any way we could slow the time on this thing?" Felix asked.
"Yes, the wise one as we speak is preparing to constantly halt the flow of imbalance, I estimate that we have exactly 3 months to stop it by lighting the two last lighthouses, Heaven, and Hell." Isaac informed everyone.
"There are still two more lighthouses?" Piers asked astounded.
"Sadly, yes." Iris spoke suddenly, a serious expression on her face.
Everyone turned to her, surprised and scared, it was hard to take this all in, they had finally found peace, and it was only for 7 months! Now they had to once more, go out into the unexpecting world, and light two more lighthouses! This was a very saddening and heavy thing to take upon ones shoulders so suddenly.
"You know of these lighthouses Iris?" Felix asked her.
"Yes."
"Can you tell us about them?" Mia asked, her voice quivering.
"Yes, please?" Sharon asked, she too was also afraid.
"I'm sorry, but I only know that if the lighthouses are destroyed before they are lit, they would most likely tear down the boundaries of the afterlife, and the human life of judgment." Iris told them.
"That doesn't sound good." Garet spoke, suddenly for the first time in awhile, he felt he should have kept quite, for everything he would have said would have been useless up until now.
"Indeed it is not." Iris agreed.
"Well, we should get going, the wise one will take care of growing from where he is, for now we shall take the ship to the under side of weyward and complete our task." Piers said, beginning to leave, the others about to follow, which is until Isaac stopped them.
"You can't travel by flying boat, you need to teleport there, and only Iris and the Wise One could do such things." Isaac informed the adepts.
"Yes, if you all would be so kind to hold onto me, we could go right now." Iris said, her cheerful personality, now seemed to have disappeared.
The adepts all gathered close to Iris and gave a few reluctant gazes at each other, this was probably the last time they would see this place, the last time they would ever return again, but if they were the only ones who could save the planet again, they were willing to do it. Soon everyone nodded and agreed to go with Iris.
"Alright Iris, let's go." Isaac commanded.
Iris nodded and began to glow brightly. "Ok everyone, grab on." Iris commanded. Everyone nodded once more and touched her, disappearing within the light.
As the light faded a figure rose from the bushes and frowned. It was Kraden, and he had heard every thing. He decided to see what happened to their house and followed them up the hill towards Felix's house, but he never expected these things to come about. "I have to tell everyone; they must know!" Kraden then ran off towards the great healer's house, so he could inform vale of the newest threat to humanity.
