Woo! I'm already on chapter 10! Today's exam went well, but it was a bit hard (I HATE maths!). Anyway, here's another short chappie for ya:)

Chapter 10: Aldam and Renatus

"Hey Aldam!" called Lightspeed, running towards the Pyronite. "Aldam, guess what?!"

Aldam turned and saw the Kineceleran, sounding excited and cheerful at the same time. "What is it, Lightspeed?"

"Man, you're not gonna believe this," Lightspeed started, "but Durwin found out where they are!"

The Pyronite did a double take. "You mean . . . he found your sister? Everyone's children? My son?"

The young Kineceleran nodded. "Do you know where Miles went? I got to tell him! Wheeler went to tell Tech and Morien and Harlan, but I'm definitely not sure about . . . you know."

"The Vulpimancer?"

"Yeah, him. Chloris and Niall know already, and Renatus helped Durwin find the information."

"Renatus?" said Aldam, confused. "I didn't think he'd be the type to help someone like our little friend. Guess I was wrong about him. Your brother went that way, I'm sure." He pointed to his left.

Lightspeed smiled. "Thanks Aldam!" And he sped off to find his brother.

Aldam smiled after him, then he sighed. "Reminds me of Celsius, that Lightspeed."

"Thinking out loud, aren't we?"

The Pyronite jumped in fright at the sound of the ghostly voice. "Renatus, is that you?"

"Indeed, Aldam," came a reply. "It is I."

"Figures," said Aldam. "You scared me half to death."

"I see you heard from the Kineceleran about our children's findings, no?"

The Pyronite nodded. "Yes, and I owe you and Durwin my thanks. I just can't believe I'm going to see Celsius again. And I'm sure you can't wait to see Nicodemus as well."

"As a matter of fact," said Renatus, who still hid in the shadow of the room, "I spoke to him through his dreams."

"Ectonurites . . . dream?" asked Aldam.

"Nicodemus was more or less in a trance, but a dream, nonetheless. I used my abilities and communicated in telepathy with him while his mind was at rest."

"I never knew Ectonurites could get tired," Aldam said, frowning slightly. "Your species is a mysterious kind, Renatus."

Renatus chuckled. "So I have heard."

"So your son is well, then?" asked the Pryonite. "Has he mentioned anyone?"

"He is fine," Renatus replied. "He has not mentioned anything about the others, but I do believe he's developing a little "friendship" with Celsius."

"What do you mean?" Aldam asked, but there came no reply. "Renatus? Are you there? Renatus?"

"Aldam?"

The Pyronite turned around and saw Wheeler, Miles and Lightspeed standing behind him. The difference between them was that Wheeler was the eldest and the tallest and Lightspeed was the youngest and the shortest, an inch or two shorter than Miles.

"We heard you talking to someone," said Wheeler, "and I suppose you were talking to Renatus, yes?"

Aldam nodded, and he asked Lightspeed, "Did you tell Miles the news?"

"Oh yeah," the young Kineceleran answered with a smile. "You shouldv'e seen him when I told him. He went berserk!"

"I did not!" Miles said, though he blushed as he said it. "I was just happy, okay?"

"Whatever Trever," replied his brother, and he sped off with his brothers running close behind him in case he did something stupid.

Aldam shook his head. He'll never understand how Kineceleran like the brothers's father would have five children to look after. Then he started thinking about what the Ectonurite had said earlier before he went: "I do believe he's developing a little friendship with Celsius".

"I wonder what he meant by that?" the Pyronite thought out loud, but he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll discuss it with him another time."

Then Aldam went off in the direction of the control room.
