The War of the Adepts

Travels and Trials to come

The four travellers set of from Kalay the next day in the direction derrick had indicated with a still unconscious Lester in the back of the wagon.

The group had took what they could from the ruins of Kalay as they did not have much in the way of provisions and also they needed to try and find Sara and Adele some weapons

When it came to finding food there was not much to be found that was unspoiled but the managed to find enough to last them to Tolbi at least.

In the way of weapons all that could be found was an axe, a bow and a spear that had looked like it had belonged to one of Kalay's soldiers,

Since few usable arrows could be found for the bow Adele took it and using her psynergy tried and failed to make an arrow out of ice that would fire and not shatter while leaving the bow,

"Don't worry about it Adele you get it with time and practice" said Sara who had taken the spear and was twirling it around in her hands and nearly hitting Jessica

"Hey, be careful with that thing you almost took my ear off" Jessica said jumping back and holding her ear to check it was still attached.

Derrick was a little away from the conversation between the girls trying out the axe he had found, It was nothing special by most standards and it had some extra weight that derrick would need to get use to if he was going to use it in regular combat but that and it's sharper edge made it superior to his broadsword offensively.

"It never hurts to have an extra weapon at your side" hesaidthen called to the girls that they should be on their way and then walked off towards where the horse and wagon was tethered.

The three watched derrick walk off and slowly walked down to where he was,

"I think he is still mad at us" Adele said remembering what she had done to Derrick's tent,

"Yeah well wouldn't you be if had had your whole tent frozen while you slept?" Sara replied with a bit of grin,

"Yeah but he didn't have to come out blasting at us with lightning did he?" Jessica added knowing full well that was what she had expected to happen.

They reached the wagon before while still in conversation making Derrick inwardly groaned because he knew they would be talking about his outburst that morning,

He sat up in the driver's seat and grabbed the reins as Jessica untied the horse and then got in the back with Sara, Adele and Lester.

Derrick gave a tug on the reins and the horse set off towards Tolbi, they where finally underway.


Meanwhile in a cave several miles away from Tolbi someone was getting quite irate,

"What do you mean he lost! My warriors are not supposed to lose! How could this of happened!" she glared at the man in front of her waiting for his response,

"But Lady Ceradus, Lester was not one of our best and he was out numbered 4 to 1" the man replied knowing however that this would not be enough to calm her,

"That is no excuse I want them made an example of!" at this point another man came in whispered to the first and then made a hurried exit.

"Good news my lady the people who beat Lester only knocked him out and have him with them" as he said this he smiled knowing that this would at least make her calm down a little.

"Perfect that means we can track them using his aura" Lady Ceradus said a slight smile on her face,

"Go, find out there location and send out warriors to there location, you know what to do when you find them" at this the man bowed and left leaving her with pictures of victory in her mind.

"Do we have a location?" the man asked to the woman on his left,

"Yes he is in transit heading this direction, going around the Karagol Sea, what course of action should we take Duncan?",

"Where are the other three from Lester's party?" Duncan asked a plan forming in his head

"They are one and half days a head of them with the prisoners taken from Kalay also" the woman replied,

"Send a message to them" Duncan said

"Tell them that they are to Wait where they are and ambush the fools when they arrive at there location" at this the woman just nodded and left.

Soon- thought Duncan

– The lady will have her way and we will rule all of Weyard- a smile now came to his lips

– It is only a matter of time-.


The going had been quiet for the four since they had set out that morning, passing the boat docks which had been abandoned most likely due to the incident in Kalay,

Following the coast along made the possibility of getting lost minimal which meant that derrick did not need to pay much attention to the road,

After a while Adele came and sat next to him.

"I could take the reins for bit if you want" she asked hoping to get Derrick out of the mood he was in,

"No thanks I'm fine" He answered with out taking his eyes of the road, at this Adele was a little crestfallen

–how can someone react this badly to such a small joke- she thought as she left him to rejoin Sara and Jessica who where playing cards.

"Let me guess he still in a mood?" Sara asked studying her hand carefully,

"Yup, I have never seen someone have such a sense of humour failure" Adele replied looking out the back seeing mountains on the left and the sea on the right and turning her gaze to the sea she smiled, the sound of water always made her smile.

"All you need to do is apologise to him" Jessica said her poker face on,

"Apologise why would that do it, it was only a joke plus it stopped us hearing his snoring" Adele said a bit taken a back by this,

"Well Derrick is a bit weird like that" Jessica said,

"Last time I played a practical joke on him he would not talk to me properly for about a week" smiling as she remembered what she did.

"Well then it looks like you've got no choice either this becomes the most awkward mission of all time" Sara said looking up at the miles away Adele

"Or you say sorry"

"Alright I'll do it" Adele said reluctantly looking away from the sea and made her way to derrick was wandering how on Weyard she was going to do this and that there was no way that Derrick did not hear the whole convocation.

Sitting down next to him and getting no response there was no choice but say it,

"Look Derrick I'm sorry I turned your tent to ice" she said quickly turning towards the sea,

"And I'm sorry I went nuts and cast flash bolt at you three" came Derrick's response,

"And I'm also sorry I've been cold to you since then" at this Adele turned round and smiled

"Apology accepted" and hearing a cry of rage from Sara continued

"I think it's my turn to lose to Jessica"
