Before Atlantis
Arkarian's P.O.V
I throw the last pizza box into the dustbin, just as Isabel walked in.
"I finally shepherded Matt away…… thanks to Neriah, of course!" she sighed. She sat in one of my stools. I glanced at her and couldn't pull my gaze away. Soft, pale, gold tresses fell down her back. Her face was lovely with a stubborn jaw and sparkling blue eyes.
She looked at me questioningly. I smile and walked towards her and pull her into my arms. Tightening my arms around her I murmur "He is your brother after all……"
"You are such a pacifist" she chuckled in content. Savoring the moment, I muse on how lucky I was to have someone like her, charming...outgoing…stubborn.
"Arkarian…" she whispers softly. I don't reply. I just pull her closer. For once, she does not protest. I feel a fire burning within me and I know she could feel it as well. That moment came until our lips met…
I could feel myself drown in the sweetness of her kiss. Time seemed to stop just for us and my soul felt alive…curiously satisfied…I never wanted to let go of her, and I felt like the happiest man on earth when I realized she would be with me forever………always there for me.
"ARKARIAN"
I pull away from her quickly but her hands still cling around my neck.
"Yes, Matt" she icily "Did you leave something?"
Matt sauntered in, his eyes blazing and fists clenched. Behind him walked in the rest of the Named with Dillon, Shaun and Lady Alora.
Isabel froze and slowly walked towards Matt.
"What the hell Matt!" she hissed.
Neriah placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear. Matt sighed and said in a controlled voice "I am very sorry to be… disturbing your… you two, but we have more important things to do than……"
He stopped when Neriah mouthed 'hypocrite' and blushed red. Isabel arched her eyebrow and said "So what is the…important thing?"
I gave a hint of a smile, thanking God for Neriah's effect on Matt. Merlin! He only listened to her!
"A meeting!" said Matt motioning to everyone behind him "involving the prophecy"
We sat on the floor, the scrap of parchment containing the prophecy in front of us.
"The Named shall reunite again" recited Matt.
"That probably means all of us except Shaun and…… Dillon…" I said hesitantly.
"But…" said Rochelle lightly "Along with allies new defiantly includes him considering the fact that he is a major ally"
"To a land embedded deep in time to defeat an evil unknown" said Neriah softly "But the Sphere hasn't rotated once till… the battle"
I thought for a moment perplexed and then spoke "Well… we shouldn't worry ourselves too much. What is to happen will and at the right moment we shall find out exactly what we are to do" I concluded.
Suddenly as if on cue, the Sphere started spinning. Everyone's heads turned in unison and for a minute the room fell into an eerie foreboding silence, one that spoke louder than anything else.
The Sphere spun deeper and deeper into time. "Atlantis" murmured Ethan as it rocketed into the past.
"No" I said "much further back in time than that"
Alora all of a sudden spoke up and said "It's going back beyond the era of Atlantis! Even further than any historian could have imagined! To a place unknown even to the Tribunal!"
Matt asked the same questions swimming in all our heads "How do you know? Have you been there before?" Nobody could miss the tinge of sarcasm in his voice.
Alora sighed and said "Yes, I have…it's a place called…Alagaësia"
All of a sudden the Sphere stopped spinning, a tremendously powerful force grabbed us all, except Jimmy and Shaun, and sucked us into the Sphere……into a land embedded deep in time……
