CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE


It was decided.

They need to learn that they're not the ones that are in control. The dark figure moved across the massive room, the full length of its clothes wafting behind it. The dark figure stood in the window and looked at the area before him. The forest was bright, the foliage a leafy green, and in the distance, it could see the snowy mountain tops one way and the volcano another way. The people below seemed to be living peacefully, but not for long.

This wouldn't have to happen if they had done as they were told. The figure turned and walked back across the room to another room. Inside was somewhat of a nook, there was a place where it could sit down to relax, and there were books all over the place. But instead of the words being in English or any other language that was known to humans, it was in different shapes, symbols, and squiggles, known only to hose that lived in the Element World.

The dark figure raised a hand and the book floated over to it, the pages turning as it did so. When it opened up on the page that the dark figure needed, it shown a bright light, moving through all of the colors of the rainbow. The dark figure looked through the book, and then pressed his hands against it, smiling as it glowed the same colors. The dark figure then took a step back and pressed his palms together, the book closing in the same manner.

The book fell to the dark with a loud thud.

The dark figure stepped over the book and then sat down on the bedding that had been set up. Much like the rest of the room, it was an ivory color, with green accents in the pillows and some markings on the wall. The dark figure sat down and closed its eyes, crossing its legs.

It had to prepare for the time to strike again.

But this time it wouldn't be screwed up.


A/N: Whoops, sorry guys, I had to do a quick interlude with the main villain behind the whole story, I figured that it was time for you all to get a glimpse of him/her/it. I can't say the gender of the thing yet, but I chose the specific pronouns 'it' rather than 'it' because it's easier to write/read, or it would give it away. I know, I'm so evil. :)

Cheers,
