Chapter 5

"Let's take him down!" Piers shouted, "Fog!"

Piers summon his djinn and cause a huge fog to hide from the Mighty Axe of the Lizard. The Lizard man quickly holds his attack and wait for the right moment to strike. But Felix manages to surprise it and tackled at the Lizard man, combined it with his strongest Gaia attack and pushed it out off the ship and crashed at a nearby house.

"That was easy," Piers peeked at the wreckage, "and I though it would be more of a challenge."

"Don't count it out yet," Echo called, "look!"

The Lizard man came up and emerges in immense size and screeched in an almost deafening tone. The two went back to their fighting stances

"It's twice as large as it was before!" Felix growled

"Okay-" Piers muttered, "how do we stop it now?"

"Summon Kirin!" Jenna voice echoed

Then the fiery creature appeared from the sky and strikes the Lizard man and causes some major damage and falls down to the ground again. As soon as the Lizard man was about to strike back at it disappeared. Then he looked back and saw Garet and Jenna.

"It's hard to believe that thing is still standing after that attack," Garet grinned, "Oh what are we going to do?"

"Yeah Garet," Jenna said sarcastically, "looks like this is the end…"

The Lizard man then rushed in toward the two and as soon as it raised his axe, Garet casts Fireballs and Jenna used her Fumes at the Lizard man. The combination of the attack destroyed the Lizard man.

"Boo ya!" Garet cheered

"What the-" Piers called, "how did they do that? Where did that fire thing come from?"

"It's called a summon," Felix replied, "its when you set a djinn in battle and summon powerful creatures, attack your enemies with great force and increase our psyenergy ten folds."

"You guys can do that?" Piers asked his small companion

"Not now Piers," Fog yawned, "I need to get some sleep…"

"Why me?" Piers mumbled

"Hey Felix!" Jenna called, "who's your new friend?"

"It's a long story…" Felix muttered, "say where's Katherine and Sheba?"

"Over here," Katherine called and behind her was Sheba, wearing the clothes that Felix remembered at his dream, "don't be shy. You're among friends."

Sheba was still hiding behind her and then he notice Piers, who jumped down from the ship.

"You-" Sheba called, "you saved me from the pirates."

"Hey I remember you," Piers replied, "you were that girl from that pirate ship. Your name's Sheba right?" And the reason why those stinking pirates take down my ship.

"Yeah," Sheba replied, "thank you."

"Are you okay?" Felix called from above

"You must be Felix," Sheba asked, "Katherine told me about you."

"Yeah…"

"But what bugs me is that you know my name?" Sheba asked, "is it because you can read minds too?"

This day keeps on getting stranger by the second.


"It's been 5 days Granite," Flint said, "I wonder what is he dreaming?"

"Maybe he's…"

"Don't say it!" Flint shouted, "You got to have faith!"

"Sorry," Granite mumbled, "is just that…"

"How is he?" a girl called from the kitchen.

The girl was about Isaac's age; she has long blue/green hair and gentle green eyes. She wore a blue/white priestess robe and on her shoulder was her djinn Fizz.

"He's fine," Granite replied, "and thanks for letting us stay at your house."

"It was nothing!" Fizz, called with a bowl filled with water on her head

"Flint," Granite muttered, "don't tell me she's still mad at you."

"What are you—?" then Flint froze when he saw Fizz glared at him

"I told you to gave her the cookie…."

"Stay out of this…." Flint replied with embarrassment

The two Venus djinn moved back and let the girl check Isaac. She checks his pulse at his arm and neck, check his temperature by putting her hand on his forehead. She notices he was breathing quietly. Then she uses her Ply to heal the burns he got from the battle. Then she put a wet towel on top of Isaac's forehead.

"That should do it." She muttered and sighed with relief

Then Isaac's eyes opened slowly. He tried to move but he couldn't. The first thing he saw was her face. His eyes widen with shock.

"Who… Mi—" he was paused by the pain he felt when he tried to stand up, "…where…?"

"Try to get some rest." she replied and tucks him in

"But…"

"No buts," she replied quietly, "just stay there."

Isaac nodded slowly and she went off to the kitchen. Then he felt something in his chest. He looked down and it was his two djinni.

"How are you feeling?" Flint asked

"I'm fine," Isaac replied, "where-?"

"We're in Mia's house." Granite called

"Mia..."

"She's the one who told you to stay here," Flint replied, "what's wrong Isaac?"

Mia, Isaac thought, how come that name sound so familiar? Is it possible that… no way! She can't be the same one. Even though she looked exactly… she does looked like Mia in my dream! But how…

"By the way I didn't get your name?" Mia said suddenly at the kitchen

"Isaac…" He answered

"Isaac," she mumbled, "how come that name sound so familiar?"

Isaac looked up at the ceiling and was wondering what the others are doing. He can tell that they are trying to find him and Anthony. Then he smells something smoothing in the air. He can tell that Mia is making some hot tea with some special herbs and spices and went back to sleep.


Isaac woke up the next day and he notice that Mia was sleeping at a chair, holding her staff tightly. He was able to move, and looked at his scars. They were all gone.

She really reminds me of Mia, Isaac thought and looked at her, I should have realized how beautiful she is with all of the things we've been though. What am I saying here Isaac? Snap out of it kid! She is just a friend, a good friend...

Then after battling himself for a few minutes, he gets out of the bed and he decides to make a little breakfast for Mia and the djinni. Isaac tip toe his way to the kitchen and check the pantry. He found a couple of eggs and some vegetables.

"Too bad there isn't any meat," he muttered, "oh well."

He cut some tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and some spinach and cut it up to make it look like parsley. He heat up the oven and start scrambling the eggs. He put in the vegetables and the aroma wakens Mia up. She looked in the kitchen and saw Isaac cooking. As she was about to stands up, she accidentally dropped her staff.

"Oh Mia!" Isaac startled, sorry if I…"

"It's okay," she smiled, "what smells so good?"

"A little breakfast," Isaac replied, "say where are the djinni?"

"I have no clue."

Isaac then put in the eggs and the djinni jumped from their beds and started running toward the kitchen. Mia went to the dining table and stared at Isaac, where he was trying his best not to step on the little creatures. When Isaac finished his omelette he gave a little to the djinni and gave a piece to Mia.

"Sorry if there isn't any meat Mia." Isaac said

"It's okay," she replied and takes a bite, "whoa! This egg is good!"

"Not bad for a boy?" he joked

"This is amazing," her mouth was almost full, "I never have food this good."

Isaac smiled and ate some of the eggs also. He notices that the djinni was arguing over the last cookie. Granite gave up on the cookie, but Fizz and Flint keep on arguing and Sleet was trying to stop them. Then they heard someone knocking at the door.

"Who could that be?" Fizz asked curiously

"Must be Ivan," Mia said, "I'll get it."

"Ivan?" Isaac muttered, could it be the same Ivan in my dream?

"Say Mia," a boy asked, "where's the patient?"

"He's in the kitchen making some breakfast," Mia replied, "So did you bring the bread? And his name is Isaac."

When Isaac saw Ivan entered in, he couldn't believe his eyes. Short blonde hair, violet eyes and small in size. Especially his clothes are the same.

"Say you look familiar," Ivan called to Isaac, "have we met before?"

"I don't think so," Isaac lied, "uh… nice to meet you Ivan."

"Same here Isaac," he replied, "I see you have djinn too."

"Yeah he has two Venus djinni," Mia replied, "why don't you show your djinn?"

"Okay," Ivan replied, "come out Gust."

Then a small white/violet creature appeared with small wings and round light violet eyes was floating around Ivan and was then hovered around the cupboards.

"Why is it hovering over there?" Isaac asked

"I think he found the rest of the cookies," Ivan called to Mia

"Cookies!" the other djinni called

"Uh oh!" Isaac and Mia said in unison

"Wait," Ivan paused for a moment, "did I said cookie?"

The three looked where Gust was floating and notice that the cupboard was opened and then looked down at the floor and saw that they finished all of it and they all went to sleep afterwards.

"When did you guys get them?" Isaac asked

"A week ago," Mia answered, "why?"

"I got them as the same time too," Ivan replied, "but the question is now why did they come to us?"

"They didn't tell you?"

"When they came in our door they were asking for food," Mia replied, "why?"

"I better tell you about it." Isaac sighed heavily

"Tell us what?" the two replied in unison

"It's hard to explain," Isaac replied, "and it will take a while. But to make it short, we are destine to save the world by the four Titans of Alchemy."

The two were shocked when Isaac said those words. Isaac knew this was going to happen.

"I know it's hard to believe but…" Isaac realized he has to tell them everything, "a week and few days ago…."

A few minutes later….

"And that's my story," Isaac sighed heavily and looked down at the floor with shame, "I understand if you don't—!" but he was paused by Mia's warm hands

"Isaac," Mia asked, "what you told us… is it all true? I mean if your brother is after the—."

"Every word…" Isaac replied

"Do you think we should report this to the king?" Mia asked

"You believe me?"

"I believe you," Ivan smiled, "and beside I can read your mind like the one in the dream that you have."

"Ivan!" Mia hit him in the head, "you know you are not allowed to do that!"

"That… was unexpected…."

"I only wish I have his reflexes…" Ivan moaned, "but I don't think it is not best to ask him."

"Why don't you trust him?"

"Is just that one time, I read his mind saying that he wants to take the Mercury Star and use it to take over something. But when I was trying to read his mind, it was all a blur... ad if he can block it."

"You know something Ivan," Mia said, "I think you're right about Alex. Maybe I shouldn't be too close to him…."

I guess she still have feelings for him "Alex…." Isaac muttered to himself and look outside the window, "what is it that you are trying to tell me Anthony?"
