Reviewers:
Maddiemaia- Ok, I'm now accepting anonymous reviews. Also in chapter 1 the part that is in the present tense is supposed to be like an exposition kinda thing. It's supposed to be in italics, to show that it's a flashback scene. Stupid uploading…

"OK, lemme get this strait. These guys think that Alchemy is evil?" Jake didn't understand the concept. Sam wasn't sure he understood it entirely either.
"No, they believe that because people are imperfect, they can be corrupted by it. Power corrupts, and jealousy is certainly an evil of this world. But I know more about Alchemy than these Proxians do, and I do not believe that sealing Alchemy away will fix our problems. Even if it does stop the current war, it was cause problems far into the future that are far worse." Hamar explained. These people really are ignorant, he thought. I've been in Atteka so long, I forgot what the people here were like. They do not understand the world.
"How are they planning to do this?"
"To tell the truth, I'm not entirely sure. I have been following them for a while and they have led me nowhere. But, I think they plan to take the girl to wherever they are building."
"Building?" Sam asked. "How do you know they are building something?"
"I just know. I'm almost positive."
"Well, I want my daughter safe! She comes first. Alchemy can fend for itself."
"I don't think you understand the full problem here! Even if you get your daughter back, you still will not be safe! What happened in your home village, it will come to Sacor. They will wipe out the Adepts. Something must be done!" Hamar yelled at the pair.
"What do you propose?" Sam asked, not the least bit fazed by Hamar's tirade
"We will deal with that after we have stopped the Proxians. But you must promise to help me."
"Yes, sure, whatever." They walked in silence for a while. Sam wished they could hurry up and catch these people. Who knew what those crazies were doing to his daughter? Man, if there was even a scratch on her, there would be hell to pay.
Jake's stomach rumbled. "I'm hungry…"

Lydia walked next to one of the women in the group, a very strong, but friendly person named Kardi. She had long orange hair and blue skin. Lydia found that even though she had scales and sharp teeth, Kardi was still strangely beautiful.
"So, umm, where exactly are we going?" she asked.
"You humans really need to learn patience. You will find out when we get there. If it helps any, we are going north." Kardi answered. Lydia was somewhat excited. Her dad never let her go anywhere. He rarely let her out of his sight. I'm going on an adventure, she thought to herself. This should be fun! Agar's pronouncement interrupted her thoughts.
"We will camp here for the night." Lydia looked up. The sun was setting.
"The day's gone so fast!" she exclaimed. Agar smiled at her.
"Yes, it has. And so has the distance. We may reach our destination tomorrow if the weather holds."
"Why can't you tell me where we're going?"
"There may be unfriendly ears about. Our project would be in danger if anyone caught wind of what we are planning." He walked off to gather firewood. The camp settled down and began to prepare dinner. Suddenly, one of the other men, Panul, become very alert.
"Did you hear that?" he asked. Agar listened for a minute. His eyes widened in terror. Lydia didn't hear anything.
"Oh no…Kardi, gather the children and run to the nearest village. You know where it is."
"But…"
"No buts! You must keep them safe! You know this is important!" She nodded. She motioned for Lydia and the three other children and they hurried off to the north as the sunlight faded. Agar shivered, which was strange because he never felt cold.
"They're Fenrirs, aren't they?" one of his men asked. He nodded, slowly. He looked around at the small group of men and women around him. This was one of the worst possible things that could have happened.
"We must do whatever it takes to keep them off the trail of Kardi and the children. They must make it. If they are killed, all is lost."
----
Lydia's legs started to get tired. Her lungs burned and her heart pounded. She didn't do much running at home.
"Can't we slow down a little?" she panted.
"No! We must keep going! We're almost there!" Kardi shouted. Lydia was afraid. There was something wrong. She could hear it in Kardi's voice. The oldest child from Prox, Sattimen, at 16, came over and whispered in her ear.
"I think there were Fenrirs back there!." Lydia blinked at him. She had no idea what he was talking about.
"You know about wolves?" He asked. Lydia nodded.
"Well, they're like that, only far worse."
"Are they going to die?"
"I don't know. But I wouldn't want to be there." She could start to see a glow of lights in the distance. She knew that they would be safe. But she could only pray for the safe return of Agar and the others.

Ok, I'll stop here now. So, it's Sunday night 8:22 p.m. I had a really good dinner and I finally finished my homework, and I'm just really happy about it. Not to mention, tomorrow is my easier day at school. We have block scheduling, so thought we have 4 classes 1 day and 3 the other, the classes are over an hour and a half long. OK, I'm done complaining now.Saturos: You are too pathetic for words
Anyways, Review please. Pretty please? If you read, I really want to know what you think.
Saturos: She likes constructive criticism too. It helps make it better. REVIEWING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
