Windsbane- Thanks to my one reviewer so far unicornmaddy.

Jeremy- Okay can you please let us go now Windsbane. Being over a boiling pot of oil isn't fun.

Windsbane- Okay I'll let you guys down.

-snaps fingers and the pot disappears and the gang falls on top of each other in a large human er were-wolf pile knocking each other unconscious-

Zephyr- Are you going to torture them through the whole fic?

Windsbane- Of course not... (!MASSIVE SARCASM!)

Ch 2: The Three Adepts and The Full Moon

I was heading back to my house and decided to stop by the local archive house on the way. It was a dusty old cave and few people ever came there. I looked along the shelves and noticed a particular book entitled The Myth of Airs Rock.

I opened the book and read:

Airs rock is a sacred place among the people of Garoh. This rock holds a great power over the element of wind. It is said that there are other sacred rocks for the other three elements of fire, wind and water. Only a few have ever passed the trials and journeyed to its inner sanctum. There a great power is contained rumored to be only usable by those that can wield the power of whirlwind. The last one that was able to complete this task was Maha, the leader of the Garoh's pack. No other person has accomplished this feat for over 30 years.

"That must be it. The answers must be there at Airs Rock." I said out loud. At that point I had decided to go to Airs Rock and find what I wanted to know for myself.

> > > > > >

About a week later it was the full moon when the regular lunar festival was held. All the inhabitants of Garoh would transform into their wolf form to hunt, play games, tell stories ect. As a regular human I never got to do this and was very annoyed by the other kids talking about it the next day. Fortunately for me some travelers had come during the night so everyone in town had to keep their cloaks on except me.

More outsiders had come later that night. There was a boy about 18 with black hair in a ponytail with green armor, a girl age 17 with brown hair laid back and a leather vest over a red and purple dress, another girl only about 14 with blonde hair wearing a purple and white robe and an old man dressed in a brown cloak. As they were coming as I watched from the cliff I was debating to watch them or to tell the townsfolk, when….

"Garooohhhh………………." I looked and saw Jeremy in his wolf form heading straight at them. The blonde girl screamed and Jeremy ran off. They got into a conversation for a few minutes about lycanthropes, and went into the town. I followed them to the rock where Maha was supposed to hide during the times outsiders came on the full moon since he lost his human form.

Suddenly there was a flash and Maha appeared surprised to see outsiders there. One of the travelers said, "look he's using pysnergy". (I guessed that must be what they called that power) Maha then disappeared back into the rock, but the blonde girl started to glow a purple colour and used the same power that Maha had just used. The entrance opened and they pursued him.

> > > > >

The next morning everyone was talking about the adepts in town. Jeremy had gone blabbing to everyone about his "amazing" discovery along with Maha telling everybody about their strange powers that they used to control the elements. I realized that that must be what I was, an adept.

I was in deep thought about what I had discovered and surprised at how well the townsfolk took to them since they held that power. Without looking I turned around a corner and accidentally bumped into someone. We both fell over.

"Owww… that hurt."

"I'm sorry," I said in response. I noticed that that it was that same blonde girl that I had seen with the travelers last night.

"That's okay. Hi, I'm Jenna," said the older girl. "That's Felix my older brother, this is Sheba and he's Kraden," she introduced.

"Hi I'm Zephyr, unlike most people here I'm just a human not a were-wolf," I said. I read their minds and heard that they were on some quest to ignite lighthouses or something like that, which seemed very odd to me.

"What, get out of my head Sheba," Felix said.

"It's not me," replied Sheba.

They all looked at me and I said, "Umm… sorry."

They were all shocked and said in unison, "YOU'RE AN ADEPT?"

"Yea, I just learned it now that you came though. I didn't know before what I was."

So we talked for a while, I told them about my childhood and they told me where they came from, then they left. They told me that power that Maha had used was obtained at Airs Rock. That had made me just want to go even more.

"Goodbye. I hope that I'll see you again someday," I said

"Yea maybe when our quest is finished we'll come back and be able to enjoy things more leisurely," Felix remarked.

"Take care Zephyr. I was happy to meet another wind adept personally for the first time," said Sheba.

"Okay I will, bye now," I responded

I was happy for the first time in ages because I knew that there were people like me with the same abilities.

'Wait if I really can use psynergy maybe I could get the same power that they and Maha have from Airs rock.'

No one in town knew that I had started to plan a little trip for the next month.

Terry- Ugh. My head.

Janet- Windsbane sure has a twisted sense of humour huh.

Daniel -comes running in wolf form panting- Guys run away as fast as you can!

Jeremy- Why?

Mob- Werewolves! Get the cursed half breeds.

Terry, Janet, Jeremy and Daniel- AHHHHHHH! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

Meanwhile Windsbane and Zephyr are at the Oscars to accept an award for best horror/comedy movie.
