Entrance to Venus Lighthouse
Once Isaac recovered from his wounds they started preparing to leave to Lalivero. Kraden had finished packing every single book he had. Felix bought some psyenergy crystals in case they were out of psyenergy. Matt was hanging with Jenna and Isaac was trying to escape from the inn since the innkeeper was caring for him she didn't want him to leave. In the end Isaac paid her to let him leave the inn. Now, they sat course to the bridge. Once they crossed it they reached Suhalla. Once there they decided to talk to Faran once they reached Lalivero and tell him about the alchemic being. They got to sleep early that night. Around midnight Isaac was awoken. He got up and saw that Matt wasn't in the room. He thought on telling Felix but he decided to let him rest. He quickly left the inn in search of Matt. Isaac searched the whole village and there was no sign of Matt. He thought that he had left the village. He left the village and searched the outskirts of the village. There was only one place he hadn't check, The Suhalla desert. Fearing for Matt's safety he gathered his stuff without waking anybody and left for the Suhalla desert. Last time Isaac was in that desert there were a lot of sandstorms that were created by monsters called the Tornado Lizards. But that was in daylight. He didn't know what to expect in the night. He ventured into the desert in hopes of finding Matt. Soon he started hearing slashes of swords. As he dwelled deeper into the desert he kept hearing the slashes closer and closer. He soon saw a man killing at least three Gale lizards at the same time. To his horror it was none other than the alchemic being they were hunting down. The creature finished off the Gale lizards with a great slice of his sword.
-"Pathetic creatures. They should have known better than to attack me"- said the Alchemic being. He turned around and started walking. Isaac jumped right out of his hiding place. The Alchemic being seemed to have not bothered.
-"Hey, don't give your back to me!"- said Isaac
-"Why would you even think you can beat me?"- he said
-"Your voice… it's familiar"-
-"Of course you fool. We meet at the Mercury lighthouse"-
-"Why didn't you finished us, we were out cold. You could have killed us. Why?"- asked Isaac
-"You ask a lot of questions kid"-
-"And you don't even bother trying to answer"-
-"True… But why should I answer to you?"-
-"Why you!"- said Isaac. He attacked the alchemic being. Yet it was futile as he dodged. He then punched Isaac on the gut. Isaac fell to his knees.
-"I already have Felix. I have no use for two of you"- the alchemic being said. He dragged Isaac to a purple windstorm and he lunged him into it. Isaac was blown away.
-"Pathetic. Their light powers haven't developed yet"- the Alchemic being said to himself. He then sat course for Venus lighthouse. The morning came and there was no sight of Isaac. They searched everywhere and there was no sight of him.
-"Where could he be?"- Jenna asked
-"This isn't like him"- said Felix
-"Where do you think he is?"- Matt asked Felix
-"Knowing him he's probably worried sick about Mia. But still to leave and don't tell anyone. This is very strange"-
-"Maybe if we go to Venus lighthouse we might find him"- said Kraden. They agreed and they sat course for Venus lighthouse. Meanwhile Isaac was on the abandoned island Crossbone. He woke up feeling a bit dizzy. He was alone, on an island where people don' even think about crossing. The purple tornado had disappeared and there was no way back. Sure enough his only way to escape would be to use "Teleport" yet without the lapis he couldn't even teleport to his side.
-"Dammit. I let my guard down. Now what am I suppose to do?"- said Isaac. He remembered about the ghost ship on Crossbone Isle. It was his only choice. So he started descending the staircases to reach the ship. Once he reached it he saw that it was in no condition to move. He thought that his only escape route was in shambles. Much to his, luck Isaac saw a little boat that must have been used to escape. Since the boat was on the ship it wasn't damaged much. He quickly got on the boat and started to row his way to shore. Meanwhile Felix had reached Lalivero. Yet the people wouldn't dare come out of their houses. They went to visit Faran the mayor of Lalivero. As they entered the house they saw Sheba and the rest of their party. They seemed t have suffered from an attack.
-"Felix, I'm glad you're here"- said a blonde man.
-"Faran. I'm surprised you're not angry with me"- said Felix
-"When she returned, Sheba explained everything to us"-
-"What happened here Faran?"- asked Kraden
-"A dark man attacked the village last night. I don't know why he came. Your friends attacked him yet he was way too strong for them"-
-"I'm okay. I want payback"- said Garet
-"Don't be stupid Garet. You're wounded. You can't fight like that"- said Jenna
-"Jenna… Where's Isaac?"- asked Garet. They didn't know what to tell him. They explained to them how they woke up and Isaac wasn't in the inn.
-"What do you mean?"- Screamed Garet. Mia was worried sick. He grabbed Felix by his shirt. Jenna separated Garet from Felix.
-"I'm worried too Garet. But I'm sure he's okay, right now we have to worry on the lighthouse. Didn't you guys see him going in the direction of the lighthouse?"- asked Felix. Mia was very silent and had a tear falling down her check. Garet was cursing the living heck out of things.
-"He was heading back"- Sheba finally answered
-"Are you sure Sheba?"- asked Felix
-"Yes. He was returning but to where I don't know"- said Sheba
-"We mustn't worry about this now. We must get to the top of the lighthouse"- said Kraden. Everybody agreed. They headed to what was once Babi lighthouse.
-"This may take every ounce of psyenergy I have"- said Felix. Without thinking it twice he cast "Quake Sphere". The attack unearthed the entrance t the catacombs. They all entered.
Meanwhile Isaac had managed to reach the Tolbi docks.
-"I must hurry. The future of the team rest with me"- he said and he left as fast as he could towards Venus lighthouse.
-"You did wisely on providing him with that boat brother"- said a mysterious voice.
-"Brother did say we had to keep an eye on this one"- said the voice.
-"True. Come on or we'll stay behind"- it said. Yet there wasn't a visible body around.
