IX: The Unheard Sorcerers Wyka!
"I never knew space was boring. Hey, are you ok?" Takeshi asked Alexa, her eyes shut tight.
"The rocking ship makes me sick." She said, still unmoving.
"Now you know how I felt every time you used that dark thing!"
"We're here!" Yuffie exclaimed. The small gummi ship was hovering high over the land. "That large, green spot's the forest."
"How are we gonna land there?" Takeshi asked.
"We're not. You just step there and you'll be in the forest!" She said as she pointed a translucent, green circle on the ground."
"You're gonna stay here?"
"Of course not! I'll come to see you disappointed!" Yuffie laughed, then stepped in the circle with them. The uprising small lights changed their environment from the lighted cockpit of the gummi ship, to a dark world, covered with moss and a small stream of water. The high canopy covered most of the light, creating a misty effect.
"It looks like a black forest." Takeshi said, watching around.
Yuffie jumped to the nearest branch and from there, jumped higher, catching a better view. The forest looked limitless, and from the looks, it was sunrise.
"We're gonna take years finding that person. I shouldn't have told him to learn magic" She shifted her view to the left, where the forest looked thicker and saw a small, haze of smoke rising through the canopy. Yuffie jumped down, landing in front of them.
"Saw anything?" Takeshi asked her.
"We go that way!" Yuffie pointed behind her. "I got you into this mess and I'm gonna get you out! Follow me!" She said as she jumped up a stone wall to higher ground.
Alexa followed, waiting for Takeshi to climb up. He took his time climbing on the steep wall, quickly reaching the end.
"We're we going anyway?"
"Just follow me! I promise I won't let you lost!"
"(Leave me lost?)" Takeshi thought. The trio continued to make their way through the thick forest. Different from their usual situations, they were no Heartless in sight. After some time, they made it to a small clearing, where a small hut with a chimney, stood near the river.
"Another hut? (Why can't these magicians live in normal places!)" As soon as he talked, a fireball appeared straight at him, quickly dodging it. "What the--?"
"Don't move!" A young voice ordered them. As the three of them looked toward the source, they saw a young boy with white hair, standing bravely a few feet away from them. "Who're you guys?" The boy demanded.
"You're just a kid! What can you do?" Takeshi mocked him. The young kid lifted his index finger up, lighting a small flame in the air. It snapped in Takeshi's mind that maybe the boy was who they were searching for. "Don't tell me you're Wyka?"
"Yes, I am!" The boy answered proud.
"No, he's not." Another voice said from nowhere. The boy quickly turned back as the sound of crumbling leafs was defined. A woman in her mid thirties appeared from the thick forest. Her eyes were slanted green, featured against her pale skin and white hair. She wore a green and brown dress that ended just below the knees; hold on the waist by a small armor, and a dark brown cape with a single crest pin.
"I'm Wyka" The woman said standing past the boy. "I don't know how you made it through the forest, but you'll have to turn back."
Takeshi hesitated to ask. "I'm sorry we came here…I was hoping you could teach me--"
"No." She cut him off. "I don't take as pupils to anyone who wants to learn."
"Forget it!" Exclaimed Takeshi. "You're gonna teach me, and I don't plan on finding someone else!" He stepped forward.
Wyca looked into the boy's eyes, filled with determination. "What makes you think I will? Tell me the reason of why." She directed to him.
Takeshi was quickly taken aback by the question, falling silent and looking away. Wyka stared at him, waiting for the answer.
"Fitz take care of him!" The woman said, both Takeshi and the young kid looked at her in confusion. "If you make it through my son, then I'll teach you."
"But I'm in a hurry!"
"Well then, enjoy keeping up. You have one day to show me something." She looked over Takeshi to the other companions. "You two can stay here for the time being." Without thinking it, Alexa and Yuffie followed the sorceress.
"Good luck with the kid." Yuffie yelled at Takeshi.
The small boy named Fitz turned his view from his mother to Takeshi.
"You dodged that fire spell earlier, but lets see how you handle rocks." Fitz smiled.
"Don't give me that look. You're still a kid!"
Sorry people had to divide the long boring chapter into two. Didn't see that one coming. Then the action begins again. Wish me luck (on my calculus class).
