Chapter 6, and it's near the end now, I think, so tired.
Chapter VI: Anemos Island
The Lemurians followed Kraden to the Mercury Lighthouse, they noticed that the water level had lowered considerably when they got to the area, Kraden needed assistance getting close to the lighthouse as he was not an adept, so he could wind up suffering the same fate as those in Imil if he was not careful.
The Lemurians climbed to the top of the lighthouse and they saw the light at the beacon shining very brightly, and they looked at the light in awe, following which they entered the light, by then, Ivan and Sheba had also only just entered the light at the Jupiter Lighthouse.
At the moment Ivan and Sheba entered the light, there was someone climbing the Jupiter Lighthouse, Hamma. She too wanted to join her brother in the fight, so she went to the lighthouse as soon as she heard the news. When she reached the top, she saw what remained of the clone, and entered the light.
::Ivan has become a lot more powerful than when I last saw him, it's incredible how he improved so much over two years::
Over on Anemos Island, Garet and Jenna had just arrived, their landing made their presence known to whoever was close enough to hear it. Isaac and Felix were the only ones in the area, so Garet and Jenna were lucky. Isaac and Felix went over to them.
"What took you guys so long?" Asked an annoyed Isaac.
"Took us quite a while to fight a big creature that used water psynergy, plus traveling from Imil to Prox takes more time than traveling from Imil to Lalivero. Plus I managed to take this when I killed him." Garet then proceeded to take out the pendant he took from the Kane clone.
Felix was impressed at how he managed to kill the clone without damaging the pendant, after expressing that, the four went into hiding to wait for Ivan and Sheba.
Jenna went over to Isaac, wanting to talk to him.
"Isaac, I need to talk to you. This incident right now is threatening to destroy Weyard, so many have died, Mia and Piers have been captured, I'm not sure if we will be able to deal with this, I'm really scared…" Tears started welling up in Jenna's eyes.
Isaac lent Jenna his shoulder and said,
"Don't worry Jenna, I swear, we will destroy whatever is doing this, we will return to Weyard and restore it to the way it should be. Together, you, me, Garet, Felix, Ivan, Mia, Sheba and Piers. I promise."
Isaac looked at the dense forest on the island where he guessed their opponent, and presumably Mia and Piers, would be at.
Some time later, A large group appeared on the island, Isaac, Garet, Felix and Jenna were all surprised to see them there. Felix and Jenna recognized them.
"You're Lemurians! Why are you here?" Jenna asked.
"We want to fight the enemy too, and we're also adepts, surely we can help in some way."
As soon as that sentence was finished, Ivan appeared with Sheba. The entire party, save for the captured Mia and Piers, was present, so they hid once more to devise a plan.
"The plan is simple, the six of us find the enemy, the Lemurians find Mia and Piers, when you free them, treat to their wounds then come help us fight the enemy, if Mia and Piers want to fight too, let them, their wills are strong, and I know they will not go down easy.
Everyone clear with the plan?" Isaac asked as he stood up. Everyone nodded their heads.
Meanwhile, Mia mustered the strength to ask Piers if there was any way out, to which Piers said,
"I'm not sure, but I guess they should be coming. We will get out of here." Piers said as he held Mia's hand.
Everyone ran through the forest and saw a teleportation pad in the middle of it. Sheba cast teleport, and everyone found themselves in a chamber of some sort, with a screen of water that showed Mia and Piers. The party had to hurry, and hurry they did.
They ran along a path until they came to a fork. Then Lemurian chief then said,
"I feel water energy coming from the left, we will go to the left, I believe that's where Piers and his friend are, the enemy must then be on the right."
Isaac agreed and ran down the right path, until he saw something like a labyrinth, he felt there was something familiar about the place, the purple and yellow tiles that formed the wall.
"I feel like I've been here before, you guys have too. Looks like…… Anemos Sanctum?!"
The other five found it hard to believe, but they too felt the familiarity of the place, it indeed looked like Anemos Sanctum, but the question on their minds were why would the place look like Anemos Sanctum. They continued running until they saw a puzzle on the floor, six pieces of stone that had some kind of pipe running through them. There was a pattern on the floor resembling a spider. They had to fit the stones so that the pattern on the stones looked like the one on the floor.
"The similarities increase, and I have the feeling I know who the enemy is." Isaac said.
They fitted the pieces together, and the pattern on the stones started to shine purple, Sheba knew exactly what to do, as they stood on the stones, she cast Hover, bringing the stones to another room, but the room was empty, they got off the stones and looked around. A voice then boomed,
"SO, YOU HAVE COME"
A figure then burst through from the ceiling, it was indeed who Isaac thought it was.
"Dullahan! How could you still exist?! We destroyed you two years ago!"
"I am going to tell you now, only because you are about to die. My soul was strong enough to resurrect me and bring me back here, but I assume that you have beaten my brother since you are here. I can't underestimate you then can I?"
"Brother?" Garet asked.
"He was the son of the one who forged me, when I returned, I introduced him to a bit of alchemy, it mutated him, but it also made him more powerful, so like I said, if you could beat him, I cannot underestimate you and your abilities now."
"How and why are you draining the energy from Weyard?" Isaac asked.
"How am I draining the energy? The answer to that is inside of me. Why am I doing this? So that I can create a world of my own which I will rule. I know that many have died on Weyard, but the energy drained there will resurrect them here, while still being themselves, rather than being a different person, so technically, I have not killed them."
"You may not have killed them, but we will kill you!" Isaac shouted in an enraged state.
A voice came from behind Isaac,
"Count us in! We will make sure he does not harm anyone ever again!"
Another battle is about to begin, and chapter 6 ends here.
