AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Phew! We made it!" Amy sighed heavily leaning against a tree trunk. Iselia Forest was quiet, with
only sounds of birds and rushing water to accompany them.
"Y...yeah" Replied Darren. "Your great-grandmother is scary you know."
Caleb reached down to pet Trixie. "You know, Amy, I never really thought about it, but Trixie is one weird-looking dog."
Amy shrugged, pulling herself up from the groundb with a low tree branch. "Father says she is Noishe's offspring. They're both supposedly a rare breed. Right, Trixie?"
"Whatever." Was Darren's only reply making Amy angry at him for saying that. "Say weren't you supposed to do something?"
Amy's eyes went wide. "Uh-oh! I'm supposed to be practicing with my swords and chakrams! I better go before my father finds out that I haven't been practicing like he told me to!"
"He's strict that way, isn't he?" Darren asked. Amy nodded.
The three of them stood there in silence for a moment, thinking. "Well," Amy finally stated, "I'd better get home and practice, or my father will have my head!"
Caleb stopped her. "can I go with you?" He asked, looking up at the girl. "I want to visit Noishe for a while."
"Sure!" Amy replied.
"Then I'll come too." Darren added, folding his arms stubbornly. "I can't leave you two alone. You'll say bad things about me behind my back."
"Who says we already don't!" Caleb teased.
Amy's blue eyes danced. "Caleb tells me everything about you, Darren Wilder." She taunted.
The forest held no houses, just a simple dirt path that leads to the ranch that made Amy so nervous.
Suddenly, Darren noticed that Amy was staring at the road that leads to the ranch.
"Something wrong?" He asked, looking from the ranch to Amy, and back again.
Amy didn't say anything but kept staring at the ranch.
"There's people in there..." She muttered. "I can hear voices."
"I don't hear anything and I'm a half-elf. Caleb replied.
Amy and Darren stared at him with an identical confused look on their faces. "What has that got to do with anything?" They asked together.
Caleb grinned, watching them both blush a deep shade of red and turn away. "DARREN AND AMY SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N..."
He didn't get to finish, because a large explosion violently shook the old human ranch, knocking the trio to the ground. A brilliant red light shot up from the middle of the base, colliding with something a long, long distance away from the sky. The light grew brighter by the second, purple and pink soon mixing in with it. The beam grew bigger, too, enveloping the entire center of the old human ranch.
"I don't think this is good..." Amy trailed off, looking up at the sky.
Darren stared at her in confusion. "Why?" Amy pointed at the huge planet that is coming down.
Amy scrambled to her feet never taking her eyes off the sky. "We've got to do something about that light! That thing could damage the Giant Tree of Mana if it gets any bigger!" She cried.
"But what are we supposed to do!" Caleb cried. "We were warned to never go near the ranch!"
"We have to do something! Amy replied."I'm not going to let some filthy Desians or anyone have their way! And there is nothing you can do to stop me!
Amy took off in a run.
Darren took off after her. "Amy! Come back here!"
Caleb took off after Darren.
Amy was already deep inside the ranch. Each room she went to seemed to hold more and more destroyed things, even the skeletons of Desians that had been here before. The bones made Amy nervous, and it seemed like she was getting closer to the control room. As she started to enter the next room, several men dressed in blue Desian garb and armor stood nearby, pacing back and forth.
Amy ducked behind an old machine. "So I was right!" She whispered to herself. "The Desians did cause that explosion! They must be planning something but what could it be? The Five Grand Cardinals aren't supposedly alive anymore..." Amy silenced herself as the door to the main control room opened. A man with white-blondish hair stepped out, his legs wobbling slightly as if he hadn'tused them in a long time. Both of his eyes were closed as if he were blind as a bat.
"I see you're finally carrying my last wish out." The man remarked.
A Desian mage nodded, standing at attention. "Yes, sir. We're retrieving Derris-Kharlan now. Everything is in order and according to plan. No Lloyd Irving to stop me."
Amy gasped. "No" She whispered in horror to herself. She had finally realized what was going on and who these people were. "I know who this man is! He's-!
To be continued...

Mary Beth the Chosen: Okay! I hope you liked this chapter!
P.S: I'll give you two guesses on who that Grand Cardinal is.
1. He has white-blondish hair.
and
2. The color of the Desian garb he wears is blue.
And if know who that Grand Cardinal is type it in the reviews section and if any of you readers are correct I'll type in the next chapter(s) okay?
So, see ya!
