Hmmm….how long has it been since I have updated this story? A year? A few months perhaps? That doesn't matter I guess…I have gone through a lot….just recently burned my three most important fingers…it hurt really bad….dang, but even so I will decide to update this story, it seemed like a lot of people liked it, and I am the most original humorist around….unless someone has analyzed my methods and copied it, if so, then shame on you, you shall be forever cursed! ….Never mind, forget all you have heard just now. Anyway, after a long wait, I finally decided to update my little story here, hope you like it; the story takes an amazing twist this time.

Disclaimer….Hmmm. If we truly owned anything…wouldn't someone ask to buy it from us?

In the carven like haunted house our heroes slept soundly, not a peep is heard and only the sounds of soft breathing and a few rustles are heard in the background as they shift on the rather rough floor. Mia is the first to awaken, as she had a nightmare, it wasn't scary…but it would scar someone pretty strangely. Let's just say it involved something with Kraden and the swimming pool…Mia shuddered at the horrible and imposing thought, she was beginning to wonder if the gods were messing with her head and trying to make her think she was nothing more than a sickly perverted little girl, but she knew better.

Mia looked towards Isaac softly rising and falling chest as he slept with what looked like a plushy of her. "…Who in the world made that for him?" She grabbed for it, but Isaac suddenly woke up jumped from his knapsack and jumped a few meters away. He pointed at her accusingly. "You! Mine!" Isaac suddenly realized he was pointing at the girl the replica was portraying. "Oh, hey Mia….did you want to see my hand made plushy?"

"Yes….did you make that yourself?" Isaac nodded. "Yes, I made it when I was….ahem…daydreaming of you." "Isaac that's sweet." Isaac rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Yhea." As the two lovers spoke Sharon poked open one eyeball, just enough to see, and cast the illusion of her being still asleep, she frowned mentally. "How will I ever make you mine Isaac?" She stirred and pretended to just be waking up, rubbing her eyes and ridding of them any kind of crust that might have tried to get into her eyes. "Hello, Isaac, Mia."

Isaac and Mia turned towards the sudden awakening and greeted her accordingly. "How are you?" Isaac asked, frowning, not all people would feel well after a day such as yesterday, even though they did have fun. "Just fine, Isaac." Sharon picked herself up, using her two arms as support, her hair was frazzled and her clothing was sloppy, after all, they did receive a little more cleaning then they should have. "Just fine." "That's good to hear, at least you are well, the others are a little stronger than you are, so I was making sure you were alright." Mia looked to Isaac, she wondered why he was always so kind….didn't he ever get jealous? Did he ever feel any kind of negative feelings when a normal person should have?

Soon after they had awoken, so had everyone else, slowly stirring and repeating the process everyone else usually did, fix clothes, rub eyes, and stretch themselves. When everyone was awake, Iris spoke up, giggling in an insane manner of which freaked most of the innocent minds. Garet looked towards the giggling Iris as she clasped her hands together, leaning forward in an unruly manner; it looked like she wasn't going to stop.

"You all right…Iris?" Ivan asked, tapping her shuddering shoulder. Iris suddenly stopped laughing and regained her composure, standing upright; she cleared her throat and shouted only a few words. "You all suck!" she began giggling again in the same manner she had done before, only a little more violent.

Sheba started strangely at Iris and walked over casually, placing her hand on her head, even though that was pretty hard to due, she read her mind. "What the?!" Sheba was blown clear across the room by some unknown force, and she landed in the arms of Jenna, who then proceeded to topple over under the shear force. Isaac ran over to the two distressed girls and helped them up, Iris still laughing, but not as uncontrollably.

"Isaac! She tricked us all! That portal, the lighthouses…this strange world! It's all a friggin illusion!" The adepts were all silent, as Iris began to topple over and laugh harder. She spoke in a shaky manner. "D-D-D-id y-…you really Ha ha….think Ha, that there was anything such thing as all of this? Gah!" She toppled over and began kicking the air, snapping her fingers, the whole world vanished, and they were all on their boat! In the middle of nowhere….in what looked like near the desolate Gaia Falls.

The adepts were speechless, and they were all beginning to become extremely angry.

"You are saying…that this was all a crazy trick!?!?!" Jenna shouted. "Yep! Ha!" "That's it!" Jenna charged her and tackled her around the deck, Iris shouting about the pain and the agony of it all. "It burns!" "It better!" The adepts all started and shook there heads at different instances, sighing now and then….not only was the pressure gone, but so was all of the worry and what not.

"So. This was all a by an insane little Iris?" Isaac asked. Everyone nodded… "Let's go home then." Isaac walked over to the end of the ship and began pulling up the anchor, not sure how he had gotten into this mess, but he was sure happy that they had been able to go home and live peacefully. Mia walked over to him as the others, including Sharon, who was a bit crestfallen about it all readied the preparations to leave this area. "So…are you alright…Isaac?" Mia looked worried and Isaac didn't want her to do that, so he smiled. "Yhea, just a little shaken and surprised, who knew Iris was so good at jokes? Although….I really did feel that I needed to save the world again…that I needed to sacrifice…" Isaac looked at her worried features again and smiled once more, causing her to smile back at him. "But at least that won't need to happen."

After Jenna had strangled Iris, she had stumbled into an extra room, after closing the door behind her and flopping on the bed she sighed. "Well, phase one is done…better let Vengeance know…" she pulled out the rock again, and after doing all of the strange gestures again, Vengeances face once again reappeared, except she was stuffing her face full of grapes and pizza, not a good combo at all…and really nasty. She didn't notice her presence on her rock until Iris shouted something about buffoons. "Oh, hey Iris! Did you trick them yet?" "Yep." Vengeance giggled. "So, you ready to throw them that surprise anniversary party?" "Sure am!" Vengeance started at Iris for a awhile and frowned at her. "you know….don't you think that tricking them into thinking that the whole world was once again in peril, just so they could leave into a illusion and allow the gods to fix vale up into a party, a little too extreme?" Vengeance gasped for air as she finished her sentence. "Nope…not at all." "Hmmm…conspiracies…conspiracies…this fanfic is whole conspiracy." Iris looked confused. "What's a ….Fanfic?" "…" "Vengeance?" "You heard nothing! Fool!" Vengeance soon disappeared as she finished speaking and left Iris thinking. "…She is….insane."
