Chapter 2: Violet Eyes
I was angry,
Devastated in my madness
I left again from my home,
Searching for you,

Yeili sat, very bored, on one of the chairs scattered about the dojo. Melosa had shouted and cursed at her for a while, but soon stopped when she realised that the Ethos didn't even blink in response. She tapped her fingers on a table, waiting for Zad to hurry up and get here. The main door creaked open and a small furry creature walked in.
"Now you decide to get here!" Yeili stood and walked over. Zad hardly passed her waist, height-wise.
'I was busy. Where is the Lost One?' He gazed up at her with unblinking dark eyes.
"She's here." Yeili nodded at Mel, who had dozed off a little earlier.
'That's not the Lost One,' Zad looked up at her, not looking particularly happy.
"How am I supposed to know?! You never told me who it was!" She said angrily. Zad sighed and walked over to a shelf full of books.
'Do your research next time.' Zad climbed onto a chair to reach a book on one of the higher shelves. He opened it to a picture of a woman with dark hair. 'Here is the first Lost One. Is she familiar at all?'
Yeili's face turned a light shade of pink in anger, humiliation and embarrassment.
"The boy." She was shaking in fury, clenching her hands until her finger nails bit into her pale palm.
"I'm going to get him if it's the last thing it do," Yeili hissed and spun on her heel, walking towards the door.

Seth and company drove the Stormers towards the dojo, the flashes of energy now easier to see.
"Stop!" Erik cut his Stormers power and skidded ahead to the front. "We don't know who it is!"
"That's why we're checking it out." Kara gave him a look that said 'duh'.
"No, those are really powerful ones." Erik looked at Seth. "Look at them, if there's more people with that skill, we'd be toast." Their leader hesitated.
"He's right, Seth." Rion nodded in agreement.
"Alright, we check it out, but if we get attacked, we get out as soon as possible. Agreed?" Erik looked a little iffy about the situation, as did Adam.
"Fine, but once we find out who's blowing up the dojo, we get out of there."
"Erik, you're a wimp." Kara rolled her eyes.
"Gee, thanks. I just don't plan to be destroyed before my seventeenth birthday. Or after for that matter."

Eighteen year old, Cameryn sat against the stone wall surrounding the dojo, listening to the Di-Gata battle between two students. She ran a gloved hand through her dark brown hair, sighing.
"Moonbeam!" A boy with dark hair shouted, throwing large silver orbs at his opponent, a girl with black hair tied into a braid. The orbs attacked the girl's shields and exploded in a flash of energy silvery Yin energy.
"Nice try, Tarlin." The girl smirked. "Frost Sheet!" She shouted and a wave of ice cascaded towards her opponent.
"Thymene, stop getting cocky." Cameryn called to her. "He's been out on the field longer than you have." She reminded.
Standing, she dusted off her clothes and walked down the path along the wall. Running her fingers along the stones embedded in the wall, she could hear Thymene getting sorely beaten by Tarlin.
"Seth, the dojo doesn't really have anyone here. At least, that we can see at the moment." A voice said. Cameryn froze.
"Well, how many people do you guess there is?"
"Maybe twenty. Give or take," Cameryn turned the corner, seeing a group of five children, all appearing in different colors. There was a gasp from one of them, the boy glowing a dark red.
"There's exactly twenty-three people here. Who are you?" She crossed her arms. There was a pause. Seth stared at her violet eyes.
"Miia?"

Yeili walked through the forest near to where the Defenders had been earlier. She was still fuming over her mistake.
'Everyone makes mistakes,' Ridani flew next to her, 'Even you,'
"Shut up," Yeili snarled. They continued along in silence.
- - - - - - - - -
Cameryn stood there, staring at them.
"You know my sister?" She said in disbelief. "You know Miia?"
"Well, not everyone has eyes like you two." Seth elbowed Adam. "Owe! What was that for?" He rubbed his side.
"Miia got upset whenever you mentioned her eyes," Kara whispered softly to Adam.
"I can hear you!" Cameryn snapped. "How do you know her? And who are you?"
"We're the Di-Gata Defenders. Kara, Rion, Erik, Adam." Seth pointed each of them out. "I'm Seth. Miia and I met near Arboth when..." he trailed off.
"He got merged with his guardian a while ago. Miia helped him out a bit." Rion explained. The others had explained the entire situation to him several weeks before/
Cameryn nodded and rubbed her arm; "I'm Cameryn. You're Defenders?"
"Yeah, would you mind if we just rest here for a while?" Seth asked. "Our friend got kidnapped by the Ethos yesterday and we need to plan out what we're doing next."
"Ouch. Sorry about your friend. You can stay here for as long as you need." Cameryn turned and motioned for them to follow her.
"I didn't know Miia had a sister." Adam said to Erik.
"Me neither." Erik shrugged. "But how many people have eyes like that?"
"Apparently two."

Seth watched two stone casters on the field, hurl attacks after attacks at each other. He leaned on the low wall; sun's rays beating down on the back of his neck.
"Shadowland!"
"Frost Sheet!" Thymene, one of the fighting casters threw her stones at another girl. Ice quickly froze over the ground, gliding towards her. The girl, at first, didn't notice, focused on the orbs of Yin energy flying towards her. She gasped as the ice moved up her legs, freezing her to the ground.
"Got you!" Thymene cackled cheerfully, as the orbs of Yin energy smashed her opponents shield.
"She's a wild card." A voice said from behind Seth. He turned around, to see Cameryn shaking her head.
"I could tell." He glanced back at Thymene, who was jumping in the air in victory, ignoring the girl frozen to her waist in ice.
"Been meaning to take her on myself, but it wouldn't be the same. I'm older than her." Cameryn shrugged. "However…" She trailed off, violet eyes on him.
"Got your hint." Seth grinned.
"Thanks. Try to get to her before you leave if you don't mind." Cameryn smiled and walked towards the main wing of the dojo, towards to younger boys, about eight or nine trying to tackle each other to the ground.
"Seth!" Erik waved at him from the wall that surrounded the dojo and the area around it. He was sitting beneath a tree, fiddling with something on his gauntlet. "Over here! I've got an idea!"
"Will it help Mel?"
"Duh, why do you think I was working on it?" Erik rolled his eyes and held up the small screen. A green background, a purple pulse stayed at the centre of it. Another, smaller, dot was at the very edge of the screen.
"Is that Mel?" Seth poked the screen.
"Don't touch the screen!" Erik yelped, pulling it away from Seth. "But, technically, yeah. That's Mel. Or rather, her wizard powers."
"Her wizard powers? You mean we could've traced her before this?!" Seth glared at the mechanic.
"Erm…yeah." Erik went slightly red and looked down at the screen. "Hey, she's moving."
"Towards us. You think she escaped?" Seth asked.
"Either that or…" Erik trailed off, then fiddled with the gauntlet again. He swore under his breath. "That's not Mel."
"It's not?!" Seth punched him in the arm. "Who is it then?" Erik looked at him and paused.
"You know that girl who kidnapped Mel?"
"Yeah,"
"You know how she had an Ethos sign on her cheek?"
"Yeah,"
"Well, that's her. She's coming after us again."

Yeili sprinted down the road, her black hair, now tied in a braid flying behind her. Her cast, Rider of Yin; gave her the ability to run faster than she normally would have. Ridani cawed as he soared next to her.
'You know where they are?' He asked, swooping low to avoid a tree branch. Yeili slowed down, breathing heavily.
"Zad has given me a tracer." She dug into her pocket, then held up a violet stone, looking very so much like the Key.
'Really? Do you actually trust Zad?' Yeili stiffened. Ridani was like her second conscience, guessing everything her first one was questioning.
"No." She said after a pause. "Nor do I enjoy his presence. He irritates me." Yeili shivered.
'Well, good. I don't like him either.'

"Kara!" Rion skidded down the marble hall towards her. She was sitting on the floor, next to a pillar. "That Ethos! Seth told me she's coming back!"
Kara looked up from her boots, which she had been powering up. "She's coming back? Why'd she do that? The Ethos already have Mel." Rion sighed and sat down next to her.
"She mentioned the Lost One. There's a legend that the Lost One can seal and unseal the entrance to the Dark Realms and Rados. They just need one of the Relics." Rion explained.
"So, what has this got to do with Mel?" Kara asked, confused.
"Nothing. I don't believe Mel's the Lost One." He shrugged.
"But who is, Rion?"
