Chapter XVI - The First Move

(Celina POV)
"Elesis...." I heard Aron mutter.

I shook him while calling out his name. To my relief, I saw his eyes flutter open.

His eyes....

Gone were his black-colored eyes. What appeared before me was his deep blue cerulean eyes.

"Aron...?" What the heck happened?

Tears started to form in his eyes again. "You look just like her...." he said and looked down.

Who is her?

Aron stood up, his eyes shadowed by locks of hair.

"Aron?"

I head Aron mutter words I couldn't understand. The skies above us started to grow dark.

"I call upon thy guardian! Faye, come to me!" Aron shouted. Lightning struck down into his hand.

A lot of questions sprung in my mind. Why isn't he getting electrocuted? What is he doing? Who's Faye? Who's Elesis? Wait, isn't she a Grand Chaser?

A small creature, about the size of my arm, appeared on Aron's shoulder. Aron smiled as he petted the creature.

What the heck is that?

As if Aron heard my thoughts, he said, "This is Faye, my dragon." Dragon...? "I didn't think you'd still be alive and well Faye," he told the dragon.

"Master," that dragon can talk? "I haz thought you werez gone. Yourz prezence dizappeared all those yearz ago! I haz thought I'd never see you again, my master."

Aron's smile shifted to a sad one. "Sorry Faye... I'm just weak that's why.|

"You arez not weak master!"

"I doubt it," he retorted. "Anyways, can you find Elesis' fire necklace?" Again with that name.

The dragon glanced at me. "The necklacez are far beyond the horizon..... they arez in the land of the Godz."

Aron grimaced, "If only Elesis wasn't a level 0 magic user--"

The ground suddenly shook violently. What the heck?

(Seighart POV)

My senses screamed for me to look up. I saw the skies darken. Some of the coulds were swirling around a specific area.

"A summoning spell...." Arme said. Hmm.... who would summon here? Suddenly, lightning struck down from the center of the swirling clouds.

Summoning spell.... lightning. Heh. So you're fine now.

"Neh, isn't that Ronan's?" I heard Ryan ask.

"Guess he didn't need our help with unlocking his memories," Jin said.

"Well now, that leaves two more," I said.

The ground shook suddenly.

"What the heck?" I heard Jin shout.

"That wasn't a natural occurrence," Ryan said.

"Are you guys alright?" Raz shouted after coming out of their tent.

"Yes, we are. But what about the other two?" Amy said.

There was a loud shriek. Wait... I recognize that sound....

"Hey, isn't that a.... a Claw Shirmp's shriek?" Jin said, worry in his voice.
