Matt's Change of Heart
As they returned to the village, Garet and the others were wondering: what could Piers have meant? As he always gets, Garet got anxious
-"How much more 'till we reach to the village?"- Garet finally asked
-"Not much farther… why are you asking Garet? We've been there many times"- said Piers
-"He's anxious again. Isn't he cute when he's like that?"- said Jenna hugging one of Garet's arms. Garet smiled at her. Piers was a little sad. He saw how Isaac and Mia loved each other; how Garet and Jenna flirted around and how Sheba and Ivan hold hands. He soon remembered that he and Felix were the only ones who didn't have a love one. He looked at the sky and said to himself
-"Is there somebody out there for me?"- he looked down scared that Sheba or Ivan would read his thoughts. But he remembered shortly after that he had found a way to hide his thoughts from Mind read. That is why neither Ivan nor Sheba could read his mind in the lighthouse. He then returned to his fantasies. He remembered how his mother had been the only one who ever loved him. Somehow, someway he wished to bring her back
-"Yo Piers, you ok?"- Garet snapped him back to reality. They had reached the outskirts of the village. They entered to what had been Ivan's house a long time ago.
-"Do we have to come here?"- asked Ivan
-"Hey the place is free. And its not as if you remember when you lived here right?"- said Garet
-"That's what pains me… I want to remember but… I never can"-
-"Try to hang on, we need to save what little money we have and I want privacy in this conversation. The inn will probably be full of people and I want a nice place to rest not the wild"- explained Piers to Ivan. Ivan replied with a nod
-"Ok not that that's settled, what was it you were going to tell us that you just couldn't tell us up there?"- asked Garet. Piers gave a little sigh
-"Very well Garet let me explain. Did you notice how Matt acted at the sight of Ivan and Sheba?"- asked Piers
-"Yeah Piers, I wasn't even up there, then all of a sudden you show up rushing me to the village because you had something very important to tell us. But don't worry Piers I noticed"- said Garet sarcastically. Everybody gave a little laugh, even Piers laughed
-"He acted as if me and Sheba hugging was burning him or harmful to him"- said Ivan
-"He must be loveophobic or something"- said Garet. Again everybody laughed
-"Not exactly Garet but nice guess, he seemed to have had some sort of memory or something, don't you guys agree?"- said Piers
-"So wait let me get this straight, you think that he had a memory? You mean like a childhood memory?"- asked Jenna
-"Exactly, perhaps if we try to reason with him he might, talk, let him become our… well your friend once again"- said Piers
-"Why ours?"- asked Garet
-"Piers wasn't at the beginning when we met Matt, remember? So technically he wasn't Matt's friend"- said Ivan
-"Anyways I may have a plan to reason with him"- said Piers
-"Well I'd love to stay around and chat it here but we don't have much time… he's coming and fast"- said Garet
-"Yes I can sense him too; I wonder where he ran off to?"- said Piers
-"Probably back to Angara, where ever he was we better be careful"- replied Mia
Meanwhile back in Light World, Isaac was having a hard time crossing the swamp. Unlike Felix who knew exactly where to step in the deep and sinking waters
-"Howe the hell can you cross this place so easily Felix?"- asked Isaac
-"Back when it was Me, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden (Who was left for safety in the boat, poor guy almost smacked us in the head with a book when we told him he couldn't come) we crossed a swamp to reach Flower. It's all a matter of where you step, Isaac, see those bubbles? Stand there"- said Felix
-"So that's how you guys found flower, ok lets see"- said Isaac. He started crossing the swamp and ended up starting to sink. When he finally reached the bubbles he had resurfaced.
-"You two ok? You're going pretty slowly?"- said Athurn giving a little grin
-"Yeah we're ok, watch out you don't sink Athurn"- said Isaac
-"Oh damn…this place is disgusting… are you guys sure this is the only way?"- said Max
-"Would you rather go back and have a round with the Alchemics?"- asked Ian
-"Damn… what the crap… um… guys I think I stepped on something really scaly"- said Max
-"You're imagining things, Max, keep moving"- said Marcus. All of a sudden a giant frog appeared out of nowhere. He spat a giant blue bubble.
-"What the hell is that?"- asked Athurn
-"I think that's what you stepped on Max"- said Isaac patting him on the back
-"Be careful, we don't know if it's hostile"- said Ian
-"Only one way to find out"- said Athurn pulling out his sword. He poked the blue bubble with it. This made the bubble pop releasing a very smelly stench.
-"What the f is that? Damn it stinks!"- screamed Athurn swinging his blade while trying to hold onto his nose. He accidentally slashed the frog. The frog shriek and got very angry. At an amazing speed it spat its tongue at Athurn. Felix got in the nick of time and sliced the tongue with one strong slash. However it grew again.
-"Damn, what is that thing?"- asked Felix angry
-"That's a Stinky Frog that's what it is"- said Athurn
-"Good a new creature and Athurn baptized it with the name Stinky Frog"- said Marcus
-"Felix, Isaac you guys go on ahead. We'll deal with this monster"- said Ian
-"We can't just leave you guys"- said Isaac
-"Just go!"- screamed Athurn. Felix and Isaac agreed and they left.
Back with Piers and the others
-"Ok let me review the plan: You want me to act as bait and stand in the center of that ring. When both me and Matt are on the center Ivan will throw me the Teleport Lapis and I have you'll appear out of nowhere and teleport all three of us. Am I right?"- said Garet
-"That's what you have to do"- said Piers
-"And not a minute too soon"- said Garet. Matt had arrived
-"I'll kill you all this time!"- said Matt, eyes glowing with wrath, Piers had hidden himself on the back of a house close by. The people watched Matt, everybody was scared.
-"Hey Matt you won't want to kill me man. It just so happens I'm here to help you"- said Garet grinning
-"Keep your helps to yourselves. Die!"- said Matt thrusting. Garet barely dodged. Matt quickly followed up with another thrust. Garet had jumped on the circle and the trap was set. Ivan threw the Teleport Lapis and Piers ran as fast as he could. Matt almost killed Garet, but luckily Piers had teleported them. He also managed to parry Matt's thrust.
-"Where am I?"- asked Matt angry and nervous. It was the first time Piers had ever seen him like that
-"You're in a temple. Try to remain calm Matt"- said Piers
-" Remain calm? I must complete my mission and I've been delayed by my memories"- said Matt. They were right after all, Matt had memories concerning love.
-" Matt… my mother… she died. I was devastated when I heard this news. However Felix and my friends didn't give up on me. They helped me, and we became a family. Perhaps you would like to talk about how you feel?"- asked Piers
-"… Before the ongoing war… I was happy. I had a family. My brother however destroyed all this. He joined the Renegade Alchemic Beings. And as a first mission he was told to kill his family. And so he did. He didn't kill me though. Said I had special abilities that sat me aside from our parents. I tried reasoning with him but he didn't want to talk under his real name. He said to refer to him as Chaos. I was destroyed. You all know what happened next"- Matt said
-"Matt how about we become friends. Then you will help us save the world and we will get your brother"- said Piers stretching out his hand
-"Yeah, we'll cut him down"- said Garet. Matt hesitated for a moment but soon after he shock hands.
-"Alright lets make our way back to Contigo"- said Piers. When they returned to the house Garet was amazed at how Piers handled Matt
-"You were awesome. Man you were like a psycho doctor or something"- said Garet
-"Hmm… how about psychiatrist? Does it sound good?"- asked Piers
-"Even better"- said Garet laughing a little
-"Yes… perhaps in the future there will be doctors like that"- said Piers looking at the sky. For a moment he caught a glimpse of his mother in the clouds. He merely smiled which he believes she smiled back.
Meanwhile, Isaac and Felix had reached a staircase
-"Awesome. Our ticket out of here"- said Isaac. He began climbing the staircase. When he reached the top he pushed the heavy top of only to find himself face-to-face with Chaos
-"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A pair of idiots as I see. Welcome to my master's castle. I've got a score to settle with you two"- said Chaos
-"We really don't have time for weaklings Chaos. Run along to collect flowers"- said Isaac. Felix nodded in agreement
-"We'll see who's the weakling little punk"- said Chaos pulling his blade out
-"Isaac I'll deal with him. Go on ahead"- said Felix
-"Alright. Good luck man"- said Isaac
-"Same to you"-said Felix
-"You're a fool Felix. You can't defeat me alone"- said Chaos mockingly
-"We'll just see about that"- said Felix.
