Disclaimer: Nintendo and Camelot Software Planning own all the characters Isaac, Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Ivan, Mia, Piers, Alex, and Dora. They also own all storyline events before the start of this story, with the exception of the emergence of my four main characters, Detherion, Ledria, Carthrandour, and Yonka. I own those characters mentioned in the previous sentence as well as some more to come. I used the Metallica song Trapped Under Ice in this chapter, so credit will obviously go to them.
Author: I would like any requests for what to come in this story, but since my computer won't let me get email, you're gonna hafta put it in a review for now.
Yonka awoke in a twin sized, soft, white bed. She could see Ledria and Detherion standing over her, awaiting her awakening.
"Where's Carthrandour? Ow." She said, rubbing her throat.
"It may hurt a bit to talk for a while. The destructive energies of Earth's death got at your throat and caused a little damage. Nothing your body won't fix on its own." Detherion said, mixing up a drink for her.
"What about Carthrandour, is he okay?" Yonka replied in a weak, raspy voice. Ledria recognized her tone, she knew that Yonka was greatly worried.
"Yonka, he hasn't woke up yet. He is alive, but it's like he's fighting to stay like that. He is alive, but only by a hair. The elders here think he will live, but he will spend a long time here. Unless his spirit is stronger then it appears, he will be in that bed for weeks, maybe even months. I'm sorry." Ledria said gently, putting a supportive hand on Yonka's shoulder. She could see the tears forming around her eyes.
"It's all my fault! He saved me, and look what happened!" she wailed, bursting into tears.
"I was glad too." a very weak, soft voice came gliding over.
"CARTHRANDOUR! You're awake! Oh, I'm so sorry, I don't know what I would have done if you had, had died!" Yonka exclaimed happily, her head snapping towards the source of the voice. "OW!" she yelled, clutching her neck again.
"I'm glad you made it out okay, This is New Vale. Look straight ahead Yonka, and search deep within your heart. I won't be able to talk for a while, sorry." Carthrandour said, his voice fading. He closed his eyes, and searched his heart.
What is this place? Yonka asked, her voice echoing through the dark expanse.
This, is my heart, my soul. We are all filled with the elements, as you know. Each one of us has a similar composition. Each person is unique because of the differences in the amounts of certain elements in their bodies. We both have more Luna and Sol then anyone else. Detherion has more Mars then anyone, and Ledria has more Mercury then anyone we know. There has been those who had a perfect balance and were still adepts, but none exist anymore but the Wise One. We are Luna Adepts, and I believe a Sol Adept tended to our wounds. We should thank him or her first chance we get. Carthrandour spoke, his voice echoing as well.
So, this is what my heart would look like? Yonka asked, looking around at her surroundings. She noticed that it was not as dark as she thought. It was only like her journeys out of town with Carthrandour, when they went to the lake. As she thought about it, the memory filled the place, making it so it was happening with the two Lovers as the observers.
