Alex: "Demonzeph does not own Golden Sun or Golden Sun: The Lost Age!"
Chapter 1. Nature freaks!
Felix nodded to his two friends.
They watched him use move on the statue in the corner, so it got on top of the button that would get them out. He then disappeared in through a door that lead to the top of the lighthouse.
The two persons, a girl and an old man, headed for the stairs down just after an electric wall.
The girl stopped, just before the electric wall.
She wore a brown and red travelling suit, a brown skirt and brown boots. Her long brown hair was sat in a ponytail and her front hair framed in her worried, beautiful face with big brown eyes. (This were for guy readers (happy now Isaac? Now gimme my keys!))
"Are you sure we should be leaving like this?"
The old man looked at her, confused.
He wore a brown tunic and glasses. He had long white hair that matched his beard and blue eyes in his fury old face.
The girl looked to the side.
"Once we go down those stairs, we can't get back into the lighthouse."
The old man nodded, and the girl looked at the door.
"Maybe I should've stopped my brother…"
"Jenna, is something troubling you?" The old man asked.
Jenna turned to the door.
"I just…"
The old man got worried. And pushed his glasses further up.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"I have a bad feeling…" She answered. "Like something bad is going to happen."
They were silent for a little while. When light sparkles gathered behind them and formed itself into human shape. The light disappeared and a young man was standing there. He wore a purple, short travelling cloak with neck, purple tie boots, blue cape, long brown gloves and a purple tool belt. His long blue thick hair fell down over his shoulder and framed his calm face with the blue/green eyes.
The two spun around to face the newcomer.
He smiled a cold smile.
"How unlike you Jenna."
Jenna and the old man looked at each other.
"Surprised to see me?"
The old man pulled back a little. "A-Alex… Were you listening?"
Alex looked around, and raised an eyebrow.
"Where's Felix? Isn't he here with you.?"
Jenna walked up near the door Felix went in through.
"My brother? He left us."
A short silence followed.
Alex stepped a little closer to them. "What can Felix possibly be thinking?"
The old man turned to Alex.
"He was worried about Sheba. He went to check on her."
Alex seemed a little surprised.
"He was supposed to be leading you out of here!" His face got into a serious look. "I thought you would be far from this lighthouse by now." He crossed his arms, with an essence of impatiens. "Why are you still here?"
"We tried to stop Felix from going back up to the aerie." The old man answered.
Alex smiled one of his cold smiles.
"How like him. Once Felix gets an idea into his head, he rarely changes his mind."
Jenna suddenly remembered something. "Alex, what were you talking about just now?"
She turned to him. He looked at her.
"what did you mean when you said…." Her eyes narrowed a bit "'How unlike you'?"
Alex raised an eyebrow. "I was…. merely surprised to hear you expressing such concern, Jenna." He shook his head. "Nevertheless, I'm impressed Felix went back up there…"
Jenna shook her head, and stepped closer to them. "Don't change the subject Alex! What did you mean!" She got an angry expression in her face and put her hands on her hips. "Are you saying I'm insensitive!"
Alex got an emotionless expression on his face. "If that's what you heard, then I must have misspoken. Please accept my apologies." He bowed his head slightly.
Jenna mumbled something only she could hear.
The old man sweat dropped. "Well, Jenna, I think Alex has said his piece on that matter…"
Jenna shook her head. "I'm not sure he has Kraden." She turned to Alex and walked up to him, with an angry expression, trying to stare him down. (This was very hard when Alex was about 1.9 meters and she was about 1.68…)
"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!" She snapped at him.
Alex shook his head. "I retract my statement. Forget all about it Jenna."
A short silence followed.
Alex broke the silence. "So. Tell me about this 'feeling' Jenna…" (Oh God… how long can they keep talking?)
She nodded. She wasn't angry anymore. "I just… I'm not sure we should be leaving Venus lighthouse yet…"
Kraden lifted both his eyebrows. "What are you saying?"
"You can't really mean to remain here…" Alex added.
"Alex is right. It's far too dangerous, Jenna." Kraden agreed. "We would only hinder the others…"
Jenna turned, surprised, to Kraden. "The others? Did Isaac follow us to the lighthouse?"
"It would seem so…" Kraden answered
Jenna looked from Kraden to Alex and then to the door, Felix went out of. Her eyes grew wide. "He must be trying to stop Saturos and Menardi!" She took to her head with a worried expression. "If my brother finds Isaac up there, they'll end up fighting! They're both too stubborn not to!"
Alex shook his head. "If the Venus lighthouse has not yet been lit, then they will fight." He made a face. "They'll probably do that anyway if Isaac's just as stubborn as Felix……" "Felix is a terribly rash young man….." Kraden added. Jenna was about to comment the last sentences but Alex cut her off. "Not to talk bad about your brother, of course…."
She got an impatient expression on her face, and mumbled loud enough for them to hear. "Why are every single male creature so foolish? I swear, it's all the same! Man, buffalo or canaria bird!"
Kraden sweat dropped. "He may be rash, but Felix is no fool." He smiled a knowing smile at Jenna. "His good qualities outweigh his bad…."
Jenna smiled. "That's why I think Isaac would understand if we just talked to him." She clapped her hands together. "Why didn't I think of this before now?"
Kraden and Alex looked at each other. Jenna turned to Alex with begging eyes. "Please…. Can't we go talk to them? I'm sure he'll understand!"
Alex shook his head. "I'm afraid that's not possible."
Jenna's eyes took puppy-eye-shape. "Why not?"
Alex looked to the site (probably hiding from the puppy eyes) "He is an enemy." He answered shortly.
She stared at him. "Isaac? An enemy? How?"
"Our methods may be different, but you and I want to accomplish the same goal."
Kraden nodded. "To light the elemental lighthouses, and release Alchemy…"
"Isaac and his friends been trying to prevent this from happening, and I doubt they'll give up now."
Jenna looked at him with a sad look on her face. "So that makes them enemies?" Alex nodded. "But fear not…. They won't be able to defeat Saturos and Menardi."
Janna and Kraden looked at each other with a worried look.
Alex turned his back on them and smiled another cold smile. "So… Felix went back to the top of the lighthouse? That's good…" He nodded to himself.
Kraden looked questionable at Alex. "Why do you seem so pleased Alex?"
Alex looked a second like he got ambushed or something. Then he got back his normal expression and turned to them. "Why shouldn't I be? After all," Alex eyes began to sparkle. "The lighthouse will soon shine with its long forgotten glory!"
Jenna laid her head crocked on her shoulder. "Alex, why do you want to see the beacon lit so badly?"
Alex sweat dropped. "Oh, so its my turn to answer questions? Fine, shoot." He sighed and continued. "Once Alchemy was common in this Weyard…. With its power, mankind worked wonders across the world."
"The lost age of man…" Kraden added.
"I want to see that world restored again to shine and…" He stopped.
"And what, Alex?" Jenna asked.
Alex shook his head. "We've spoken long enough already. Let's continue another time." The sparkles in his eyes disappeared. "We should leave the lighthouse now, before the beacon is fired…"
"Yes, lets meet at the location we agreed with Felix." Kraden turned to Jenna.
Jenna didn't answer at first. "All right….. lets go." (Finally! They stopped talking!)
Jenna lead the way out, followed by Kraden and, last, Alex.
What was Alex going to say? Jenna thought for herself. What's he hiding? Where did he know this from in the first place? Why did he get so emotional when he talked about the lost age? Why is he acting so bitchy after Isaac came up? Why am I asking these questions?
She concentrated on her bigger brother while they progressed down the light brown hall's. Statues of Venus maidens were standing in rows down the walls in the halls between the puzzle rooms.
Funny. Jenna thought. If Alex is so interested in the lost age of men. Then why doesn't he study the rooms like Kraden? They're probably the greatest example of those so called 'wonders' of his…
They walked down into a room with big wall to wall paintings of trees and humans. And a giant tree on the floor. Alex didn't notice this... at all…
Alex was walking with eyes that showed that he wasn't really a place, but kinda like he could've been walking in the free air or something. Why does he keep looking at the roof? Oh, hey! There's the exit! Freedom at last!
She walked out followed by the others.
Two stairs lead down to a place with a tree like in the room with the wall paintings. Trees surrounded the mountain the lighthouse was built into. Birds flew down on the ground. It was a peaceful place out here, innocently unknowing of the battles on top of the lighthouse.
They walked over to the opening in the trees so they could leave, when an unknown voice could be heard.
"There they are! Get 'em!"
"Huh?" Jenna and Kraden looked confused around and Alex seemed to come too.
They walked down to the Y were the roads split up. To Jenna's right side were the road blocked by workmen and other city people. To her left, oh God, Soldiers from Tolbi.
"Iodem sent us to stand guard here, but…" One of the soldiers said. Another soldier finished his sentence. "I never thought we'd actually run into 'em just like that."
"Scoundrels! What have you done with Sheba!" One of the workers yelled. "Return her now, our you'll regret it!"
One of the guards looked around. "Uh…. Aren't there supposed to be more of them?" "Eh…. Maybe they're just the first to come out…." A worker lightened up. "You hear that! Your outnumbered! Now hand her over!"
A soldier turned to another one. "Go fetch the others. They're still in Lalivero." He made a solute. "Yes, sir!" he ran of..
One of the workers, apparently the boss, turned to one of the others. "And you go tell the others in the cave." The worker jumped. "I'm on my way!" And he ran down the other path.
Kraden walked down to Jenna. "Uh oh…. Looks like an ambush. What should we do?"
Ok Jenna. What would Felix do?
She looked around. "Kraden, look around! We kinda have to fight!" Ooooh, VERY sophisticated Jenna…. Bravo….
Alex turned to her. "Your serious?." He went to her side. "Your sure your prepared to fight them Jenna?"
Jenna looked at him with an are-you-dump-or-what?-We-kinda-have-to-look. "Yes, Alex. Its kinda obvious…. We don't have a choice!"
He sighed. "All right. Allow me to shoulder some of your burden then." Kraden mumbled something like 'burden?'.
"We regroup along the road away from Lalivero okay?" Alex asked, not turning from the soldiers.
Kraden nodded. "You don't need to remind us Alex. We know the place. Idejima, straight west and through the cave."
"Fortunately, its only those workmen that block your way."
"And thankfully."
"They don't look tough…."
The workmen got pretty upset over this. "Hey! We have feelings you' know! We can be tough!" "Yearh! Were gonna wipe that stupid smile of your face twerp!" "That spaghetti-arm don't stand a chance against us!" "Whelp!" "Phoney!" "Bitch!" They looked at the guy who said that last comment. "Hey! The dude looks like a friggen girl!"
Alex ignored them, Then turned to Jenna and Kraden. "Why are you still here? Jenna knows psyenergy, you'll be fine."
Alex took a step closer the guards.
"You think you can take on all of the finest men from Tolbi little man?" "Idiot." "Girly-poo!" "Dude, that was lame." "Hey I'm a noob, don't blame me."
Alex shook his head. "I don't want to destroy you completely, but I assure you. If you lay your hands on these two, you'll regret it."
First a little silence followed, then everybody (except Jenna, Kraden and, of course, Alex) started laughing hysterically.
"Should YOU threat US?" "Oh, please, what are you? A student? Come back in 10 years Twerp!" "What are you gonna do? GRAMMER us to death?" "Ooooooooh! Stand back guys! He'll might bitch-slap us to death!" "If we don't die of laughter!"
Two of them stepped fourth. "Fine, but once you lie on the ground, crying. Don't expect mercy!"
Alex raised his hand against them. "Allow me to strike the first blow."
Rings of psyenergy surrounded Alex. All of sudden A water column appeared under one of the guard and send him flying through the air, so he landed somewhere far away with a loud Bump.
He turned to the other guard, and send him flying of too.
The rest of the guards and the workers stepped back in shock.
"WHAT was THAT?" "MAGIC!" "HE'S A WIZARD!" "MORE LIKE A DEMON!" "We don't stand a chance against that!"
The soldiers pointed at the workers. "You'll deal with that monster, to backup arrives!"
Alex turned to the workers with a cold friendly, I'm-gonna-kill-ya-in-two-seconds-smile. "Oh, so your next?" He walked closer to the workers.
They all took a step back and tried to hide behind each other. The unlucky guy who ended up front got forced some hacking words over his shaking lips, with a terrified expression on.
"H-hey! D-d-don't worry 'b-bout u-us! W-were not soldiers, w-were not a-anybody!"
He turned to his partners. "Lets get the hell ought a here!"
The next seconds the workmen's fled as fast as they could, and ran over each other if it didn't go fast enough.
After they were gone, Alex shook his head. "Cowards…" He turned to Jenna and Kraden. "Now's your chance. Go to Idejima and wait for me there."
Silently, the halfway forgotten soldiers began to back off, but Alex turned to them before they fled. "I'm not done with you." He walked over to the soldiers. "You mentioned backup from Lalivero?" Alex smiled that cold, deadly yet friendly and very spooky smile to the soldiers. "Let's go meet them together, shall we?"
The soldier stepped back. "Hey pal! When you battle them they'll wipe that stupid smile off your face!"
Alex's smile disappeared. "Do you honestly think that 100 of you could stop me!"
The guards walked backwards. Alex merciless stepped with them, and smiled again. "How amusing…. This I MUST see."
They walked down the left road 'till Kraden and Jenna couldn't see them anymore.
Kraden looked after them. "They're gone… I kinda fell sorry for those soldiers…."
"You don't say…" Jenna nodded.
Kraden kinda came too. "Lets get going. Felix and Alex's gonna be right there…"
"Yearh…." Jenna got an angry expression on her face. "If they let us wait, I swear I'll-" Kraden broke in. "Well, lets get going then!"
Jenna leaded the way down through the forest. It was a good weather and it made Jenna feel good. Small birds flew around singing while collecting sticks for their nests. The later arrived male birds were still trying to impress female birds.
An especially clumsy bird with fluffy feathers, a young robin, was trying to impress a brown female, but kept falling over his tail feathers. It reminded Jenna of Isaac, and she started to hum a melody from Vale from the memory.
Kraden waked Jenna up, by pulling her back behind a bush. "Look." Kraden pointed at a worker that walked around with his hands in his pockets. "Why, do I have to wait for backup? I swear! Those morons give all the crap too the noobs!" He kicked a rock in frustration, and the next second, he was jumping around on one foot, holding the other one in his hands. "AUCH! Damn rock! Auauauauauauau!" He fell down when he lost his balance. "MAUGH!" was the only sound he made, since his mouth was stuffed with dirt from the ground.
Jenna tried to hold her laughter back, but, oh! It was overwhelming tem tasting to lay her head back and laugh. Soooooooooo, she did.
The worker got up from the ground and spotted them. Then sat in a high-pitched girl scream. "AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII! P-p-p-p-please! Leave me alone! I-it was their idea! Spare me! I- hey!" He looked confused around. "Where's the scary blue headed twerp?" He smiled exited. "YES! Now I'll show them what I'm really made of!"
The workman jumped at her with a short knife. Jenna dodged and Created a small fire dragon of psyenergy. "FUME!" She yelled as she freed the dragon from her fist.
The dragon roared at the worker and rushed into him. The worker fell to the ground with a confused look in his roasted face. After all, normal people can't see psyenergy.
"Why, that was easy!" Jenna said, after the dragon disappeared.
"He was weak indeed." Kraden added.
"You didn't really do anyth--" "Lets go on! Felix and Alex could return any minute!"
Jenna was about to say something more, but Kraden was already some meters ahead. "Hey! Wait for me!"
They continued out of the forest, and into some cliff/dust hills.
"Oh no." Kraden sighed. Jenna looked around for enemies. "What?" Kraden sighed again and pointed. "Stairs….."
Jenna sweat dropped. "Just…. Keep… going…"
They went up the stairs. "Waaaah! It's them!" Another worker stood at the end of the stairs.
"What the…. Where's the blue guy?" He smiled a hilarious parody of an evil smile. "Whatever! I can handle a girl and her grandpa!"
The worker jumped down the stairs with a knife. "Your coming with me kitty!"
Jenna got pissed. "KITTY!" She charged her fist against him. "The name is JENNA, creep! FUME!" She released the dragon yet again and hit the worker in his nuts so he flew back up to the top of the stairs.
Jenna walked calmly up to him, and stepped on his nuts as she crossed over him. "And remember that!"
Kraden followed up (yet without stepping on the worker). "Don't you think your being a little rough?" Jenna turned her head to give him a death glare. "He called me KITTY! Only Isaac can—oh forget it!"
She marched on around a corner. "Are you coming or what!" Kraden followed in a safe distance.
When Kraden turned around the corner, Jenna was sliding down a wall, to the level were a cave entrance was. "There's some plants you can crawl down with." She pointed at some green plants right beside Kraden's feet. "Kraden crawled down, while Jenna waited for him at the bottom.
They walked against the cave entrance, when three more workers came out of it. "Ha! It was a good idea, waiting for 'em here boss!" "I know. I'm the genius here. Let's get 'em!"
The three of them jumped Jenna, while Kraden hided behind a big rock.
Jenna was too pissed to say anything, so she just cast flare at them as they jumped her. They didn't seem to understand why they got burned when they came close, since they couldn't se the flaming walls that passed. One of them was lucky and got through the walls, and slashed out after her with a knife. She merely dodged, but her skirt got a small cut. "Why you! That's my favourite skirt! BASTARD!" She smacked him with her wooden stick. She knocked down the others to.
"Kraden, you can come out now…."
Kraden's head popped out from behind the rock, took a look around and the rest of him popped out.
"Good! We really tout them a lesson." "Hey! I was the only one figh—" "Details, details."
Kraden headed for the entrance. "Oh I give up…" Jenna sighed, and went into the cave after Kraden.
They headed down through the brown stony paths. Further into the cave water began to dripdown the sides, 'till there were little ponds.
Suddenly, a big blue ant with red boxing gloves ( (o0') ….eh? Punch ants look weird…), jumped out in front of them.
Jenna knocked it out. And shooed Kraden out of her cape. "It's gone Kraden. You can come out now.
Kraden looked at the slayed punch ant. "My! Who knew fighting could be this funny?"
Jenna sweat dropped. "I won't even comment tha—HEY! Wait for me! Jeez, and they say youth is impatient!"
They headed for the entrance and ended out on a green field with some spread trees here and there. Sea was surrounding the field, so the cave was the only side there wasn't water around. You could see the light house in the distance.
Kraden looked around. "This is the place. Isn't it?" Jenna nodded. "Yup."
"Then this must be Idejima!" "Wow, how'd you EVER figure that out, oh all-knowing scholar?"
Kraden growled. "Respect for the elders, child." Before Jenna could answer, he continued. "Hmmmm…. Menardi said a ship would wait here… Lets find it."
They walked a little around, looking for it.
"Hey Jenna its over here!" Kraden called. "Dude, I'm standing beside you." "Oh, I didn't notice." Jenna mumbled something while taking a look on the ship.
"At first glance, it looks like a normal ship, but…" "Yes Kraden, I can see that." "There's something odd about it." Jenna looked at him with a, that's-kinda-obvious-dummy-look. "Could it be the masts that's NOT there?" "Oh no, its just an adept ship. (To those who don't know what an Adept is, then it's a person who can use psyenergy.)"
Kraden jumped onto the ship, and downstairs.
"Kraden! For the love of… He's like a kid with a new toy!"
Jenna walked back and fourth for a while. She got angry. "HURRY UP IN THERE!"
Kraden came out short after. He didn't seem too pleased.
"What's wrong?" Jenna asked.
Kraden shook his head. "It's missing…"
Jenna was confused. "What? What's missing?" "The thingy that makes it go…" He answered.
Now Jenna was really confused. "What the… What thingy? Why's it so important?"
Ok, dump question Jenna….
"The boat can't move without it…" Kraden answered.
Jenna got angry and walked a little away. "Why that little bitc—Menardi! She passed a dud boat off on us!"
Kraden shook his head. "If the boat was dud, then how'd it get here in the first place?" He walked a little back and fourth. "Ah!" He stopped, and snapped. "The orb! The orb Saturos had in his pouch!. It must've been that!" Jenna lifted an eyebrow. "The big, black pearl?" "Yes! It got to be that!"
They got disturbed by a familiar voice. "Jenna, Kraden, There you are!"
They turned to face Alex that just came out of the cave. He looked first at them, and then at the boat. "I see you found the boat." He turned to them. "We set sail as soon as the beacon has been fired. (Beacon as the place were you put the elemental star, not the thing you eat for breakfast.)"
Of some odd reason, Jenna and Kraden didn't tell him the boat was dud.
"Strange." Kraden said as he turned to the lighthouse.
Alex and Jenna turned to him. "What is it?" Alex asked. "The beacon…. It hasn't been lit…" Kraden said.
Alex and Jenna turned to the lighthouse. "Your right… Why is it taking so long?" Alex wondered. "And why haven't Felix returned?" Jenna nervously added.
There was a short time of silence.
Then a golden/brown light shined from atop of the lighthouse.
"There it was!" Kraden pointed.
Jenna suddenly noticed a little rock on the ground. It was shaking, and then it started to flip and jump. "Hey, Alex? Kraden?" "Yes Jenna?" Alex asked without turning from the lighthouse. "Is that stone supposed to… jump?" Alex looked at her. "Now, what are you talking abou—" He noticed the rock, that shook, and jump and flip like crazy. "What the—"
Then the ground was cast out in a sudden tremor, and the lighthouse began to shake so dust stood up all around it.
"Strange! I think it's getting worse!" Alex yelled over the loud roars of crumbling cliffs.
"The lighthouse's collapsing! Look at all the dust! The ground around it! It's crumbling!" Jenna yelled back.
"Mercury lighthouse wasn't destructive after they lit it! Why's Venus lighthouse?" Kraden yelled.
Then the ground went nuts. Boulders from the caves roof rolled down the sides and nearly crushed the three persons.
A boulder landed in the middle of the little circle Jenna, Kraden and Alex stood in. "WATCH OUT!" Alex yelled as he dodged a specific big boulder (thee men could stand inside it, a still got room enough…). Jenna and Kraden lost balance, and fell in different directions. Alex had gripped a stick on the tree he stood next to, but quickly gripped to the boulder, that had planted itself were it almost crushed them, when the tree he held in started falling to the side.
Then they heard a nasty sound of something big getting ripped over and the last boulders fell down, itself trees kept falling and the ground kept rocking and rolling like crazy.
"That last tremor ripped us of the continent!" Alex yelled at them. While holding onto the boulder. "Were going to drift away!"
"How're we gonna get back to Gondowan now?" Jenna yelled back.
The island (past Idejima) kept shaking for some hours. When things finally settled down, Alex let go of the boulder and fell to his knees. "Is everybody ok?" He asked while trying to hide how exhausted he actually was. (hey, its not very easy to keep standing or hold onto something, when mother earth insists in you bouncing around like a bouncing ball!)
"Alex… am I ripped over in two?" Jenna growled or gasped (couldn't really hear that), while she was lying on her back on the ground. "No, Jenna." "Mashed out over or under a rock in a 'splat' way?" "No, Jenna." "Shook apart so my arms, legs and other parts of me is spread all over the island, or fallen into the sea?" "No, Jenna." She tilted her head a little back so she could send him a death glare. "That's funny, 'cuz I FEEL like I have! ALL THREE THINGS!" "Me too…" Kraden gasped.
A short silence followed. Alex forced himself up standing, and walked over to Jenna and Kraden. "Wish…" He whispered. Jenna felt a cooling healing power rolling through her, like lazy morning waves. She could see on Kraden and Alex that they could feel the same on their looks. They'd gained a little energy, but was still very tired and beat up.
Alex turned to Jenna. "You guys should rest a little…"
He walked over to the other side of the trees, and collapsed against it. 5 minutes after were they all asleep. Jenna next to the ship with her hands under her head as a pillow. Kraden on the ground, over at the grotto with arms and legs away from him, snoring loudly. And on the other side of the trees, Alex, with his back against the tree, arms around his legs, and his head resting on his knees…
"Kraden… How long can this stupid island keep drifting?" Jenna asked. She was still laying on her back the spot she fell asleep.
"I don't know…. I kinda hoped you could tell me…." Kraden answered, also from the spot he fell asleep.
"Oh yearh, Big help." Jenna frowned. "Jeez, your no good at times like this!"
A short silence followed.
"hey I'm hungry." Kraden said.
"How, by Mars 7 hells, can you think about food in this situation!" Jenna snapped.
"Donno… Stomach talking…." He answered.
Another short silence followed.
"I wonder what happened to Felix…" Jenna said quietly. "I can't be certain…. But it looks like they lit Venus lighthouse…." Kraden said. "I kinda noticed. It shook us from main land, remember?" "Why aren't you cranky today! Cat licked your butter?" "No. Earthquake took feeling in my foot!" "Excuse me?" "Forget it…."
Jenna stretched her arm. And sighed. "Isaac and the others must've been at the top of the lighthouse too…" "I suspect your right…" "I miss them… Isaac… Felix…"
Their short conversation got interrupted by Alex that came over to them from the other side of the island. "Come with me."
Kraden and Jenna looked at Alex. "There's something I wish to show you."
Alex back, while Jenna and Kraden got up.
When they reached the other shore they saw two persons lying in the sand.
The first on were a tall boy with long dark brown hair, hold together with a dirty orange bond. He wore a green travelling tunic, a green cape, crocket over his shoulder, green belt with a sword attached, light brown gloves, green pants and light brown boots.
The other one was a short girl with short bowl-shaped hair. She wore a white tunic, with brown edges, purple cape sat in a fashionate way, a red belt, white half-long skirt, brown boots and a green brown staff.
"FELIX! SHEBA!"
They rushed to their side. "they-they're alive!" Kraden said. "They're really alive!" Jenna screamed. Kraden turned to Alex. "What happened Alex?"
"I thought Felix and Sheba were still in the lighthouse!" Kraden claimed.
Kraden, Jenna and Alex had dragged Felix and Sheba further up, so they didn't get swept away. They were now standing around them.
"Amazing." Alex said shortly.
"I'm just happy my brother's back." Jenna answered. She was sitting on her knees with Felix resting in her arms.
Sheba's arm twitched .
Jenna spotted this. "Sheba?"
She moved a little. "Ooooh… my head!" She groaned.
Kraden rushed over to her. "Than the elements and their gods! She's awake!" "Sheba? Your ok? It's me, Jenna! Say something!" Sheba opened her green eyes. "J-Jenna?" She sat up. "W-what happened? Were am I?"
"Earlier Idejima. It seems you and Felix drifted here." Kraden answered. "She looked at him. "With Felix…? What?"
Sheba tried to get on her feet, which didn't really seem to listen to her. But second time she got up.
"Relax Sheba, take your time." Jenna said.
Sheba nodded, then took a look around. "Are we… drifting? Wait… EARLIER Idejima? What do you mean?" Alex nodded. "We were supposed to meet with the rest of you here, but the earthquake shook us loose from Gondowan, so we could drift off…"
Sheba stared at him. "What?" Kraden turned to her. "I know it's hard to believe… What happened at the lighthouse?" Sheba turned slowly to Alex, with a worried expression. "Saturos and Menardi…" Alex raised an eyebrow. Sheba raised her hand. "Just a sec…" She ran over on the other side of the trees, in a position, were she could see Alex, and speak to him, but neither he or his psyenergy could reach her. "Ok, before I start, then Alex has to SWEAR that he wont hurt me…"
Alex looked oddly at her. "Why should I want to—" "SWEAR!" She yelled back.
Alex raised an eyebrow (Yes, again) "I swear I wont hurt you. Now what happened?" Sheba looked a little delighted, but stayed behind the tree. "There came a group and fought Saturos and Menardi… They…" She breathed heavily. "I need you to swear again. Please…."
"I swear I wont hurt you."
"Thanks… They fought them and… Won… Saturos and Menardi are… dead…"
A silence that felt like forever followed.
"What…." Alex stared at her. Jenna said something before Alex got mad… unfortunately…. It wasn't the best question she could've asked. "Was it Isaac?"
Sheba came out of her hide and walked over to them, but made sure that both Jenna and Kraden was between her and Alex (who'd somehow managed to put his calm expression on again).
"I think that was what they called him…"
Alex looked at her. "Do you expect me to believe Isaac and his friends should could even hope to come anywhere near defeating Saturos a Menardi?" He shook his head. "Have they really grown so strong, in such a little time?"
Kraden interrupted. "But how did you end up in the sea? Not to say here?" Sheba turned to Kraden. "After the beacon was lit, the following earthquake knocked me over the edge of the lighthouse.." Felix twitched. Jenna looked down at him. "And my brother?" Sheba smiled a mysterious smile. "Of some reason he didn't want me to drown, so he took a shortcut down…" Jenna saw almost begging at her. "please tell me that, that shortcut was an elevator or something…" Sheba shook her head. "He must've gotten the idea that lighthouse diving was faster…"
Felix twitched again.
"Felix jumped off Venus lighthouse?" Kraden was shocked. "Dear me! I knew he could be a little rash, but this…!"
Felix moved a little in Jenna's arms. Alex spotted this. "Felix, are you awake?"
Felix opened his eyes. Jenna smiled at him. "Morning bro."
Felix took a look around. He tried to sit up. "Are you sure you should be standing?" Jenna asked. He smiled at her. "You don't seem to be were surprised to find yourself on a flouting island…" Kraden pointed out. "Felix must have seen the flouting island when he was swimming, and headed towards it. Am I right Felix?" Alex asked. Felix nodded, and helped his sister up from the ground.
"But, what do we do now?" She asked.
Sheba shrugged. "What CAN we do? Were trapped on a floating island. None of us knows what's be join the Eastern sea." She pointed at the mostly destroyed trees. "All the useable trees are destroyed and we don't have neither clean water or food…"
Alex spotted something, and rushed to the seaside. "What is it Alex?" Sheba asked. Alex smiled for once a real smile. (Ok, if that isn't creepy, then I don't know what is!) "Can't you see it?"
Out in the distance a stripe of something brown was coming closer. It began to get clearer and clearer as they flouted closer.
The others looked at each other and rushed to Alex side. Jenna smiled happily. "Land! It's an island!" Sheba stared a little. "Isn't it a little… big? For an island?"
Kraden jumped of joy. "It's no island! It's a new continent!"
"Were saved!" Jenna sang while swinging her brother (Who was kinda helpless in this) around, in some kind of wild dance.
"Wait…" Sheba interrupted. Jenna stopped swinging her poor brother with her, and stopped. "What?" "Were going pass north of the continent!" "She's right!" Kraden yelled. "I don't think were gonna make it!" Sheba shrieked. "Felix, Alex. What do we do!"
Felix turned his head quickly to his left. He's face got an omg-how-friggen-unlucky-can-I-get!-expression, and pointed at something in the distance.
Kraden mumbled an "Oh, this can't be good." And turned to see what Felix pointed at.
Kraden was right. It wasn't.
Jenna turned too. "What the—!" The others turned too look too.
At first it looked like somebody had picked up the end of the sea like a carpet, but as it came closer, the horrible truth rolled in over them.
"It's a tidal wave!" Sheba screamed. "The earthquake must've caused it!" Kraden got scared. "I-it's coming right against us!"
They looked at each other with worried or scared expressions. Oh yearh. Except Alex of course. "How can you stay so calm, at a time like this!" Jenna screamed at Alex over the loud roar of the tidal wave. "Were would the good in panicking be?" He yelled back.
Sheba stepped back. "We'll be washed away!" Kraden panicked. "HELP!" He ran towards the almost-broken-and-long-forgotten-dud-ship, while the tidal wave washed in over them…
Alex woke up, lying over a fallen tree he was knocked into when the wave hit.
Oooooow! That friggen hurt! Stupid wave! Couldn't you wait! Mother Nature hates me…
He got up, and looked around.
Hey! We hit land!
Should I wake up the others?
He looked at his companions, that was spread out over the isle.
…no, let them sleep. They are going to need it.
He walked around to the others and cast ply for a safety.
Then he noticed that he was very cold and very wet… And very hungry. It was two days + the days he'd been knocked out, since he last got anything to eat, or drink. He glanced out over the isle again.
I should get some food for us…
Alex got up and headed for the path away from the isle. He soon reached a city called Daila. He got some food and water.
Alex came back, with some food in a wooden box. He sat it down by a fallen tree, opened it, took a bread and some fruit, that he packed down in his tool belt.
And now, a new ship.
He closed the box, and left it behind for Felix and the others. He smiled a cold smile and walked back against Daila…
Felix woke up with a hell of a head deck. He got up, a little clumsy.
Gar, I'm soaked!
Felix looked around. His friends were spread around on the soaked isle…. That didn't flout anymore!
Hey, where's Alex?
His blue-haired companion, were no were to be seen.
Weird…
He walked over to his sister. He kneeled beside her and shook her gently. "What?" Jenna opened her brother. "Felix? What… Oh yearh… The tidal wave." Felix helped her up standing. "It must've knocked me out…" She looked around. "Hey, we hit land!" She turned to Felix. "The wave must've carried us here! Lets wake the others and tell them the good news!" Felix nodded and they woke the others up. They searched a little for Alex, but gave up.
They took a break. Jenna sat on a rock while the others sat on the ground or on fallen trees. They'd found some food in a little box of wood near a fallen tree a little away from the others.
"Were is the annoying blue-head?" Jenna growled, while chewing on some bread. "He doesn't seem to be anywhere on the isle…" Kraden answered. "I can see that! I bet he went on without us! That could be so like that bastard!" She looked at Felix. "Wouldn't you say? He dumped us here in the middle of nowhere!"
At first Felix didn't respond, then he nodded.
"Well then I see no reason in looking for him here!" Kraden pointed out. "He probably went after a new ship…" He looked at the line on the ground that showed were Idejima had bursted into the continent. Wood and planks from what some time ago had been their dud ship.
"Yearh. We need to get back to Gondowan." Jenna agreed. "Especially, because all the lighthouses cant be reached by land…"
"We should probably try to get a ship too…" Sheba said. "So we can head for the Western sea." Jenna looked at Felix. "So that's were we're going, eh?" He nodded. "yep… Our parents life depend on it…" Jenna continued.
Kraden turned to Sheba. "What about you Sheba?" She looked at the old man. "What do you mean?" Jenna looked at her. "Well… Its not gonna be an easy trip… You should probably get back home…. Right Felix?"
He shook his head. "See? Felix remembers!" She smiled at him and continued. "Its my destiny."
Jenna and Kraden got a sheepy look. "How can we trust you, if we don't know you motives? Or details of that destiny?" Jenna asked.
Sheba looked begging at her. "I'm sorry, I cant tell you more…. But you have to take me with! Your gonna need me in Jupiter lighthouse! I'm a wind adept, Felix can sign that!"
Felix nodded. "You knew?" Kraden asked. Felix nodded. "They mentioned it on the top of the lighthouse… They saw my powers right away, and kidnapped me for their journey…" Sheba said.
"Fine! That's reason enough for me!" Jenna said gleefully. "And then I'm not alone around these men!" She went over and hugged Sheba. "Welcome on the team!"
"Hey. If we're a team, then we need a leader, right? Everybody look and point at the person you think should be leader!" Sheba said and pointed at Felix.
Jenna pointed at Felix.
Felix pointed at Kraden.
Kraden pointed at Felix.
"Then that's set! Congratulations Felix!" Kraden said. "Now what?"
Felix was a little silent, then he shrugged and went down the road to Daila.
Jenna: Next time we visit a temple, get new psyenergy and free two boys from starvation! We'll also get two new cute companions!
Well that was it for this time! I'll update as fast as I can.
