A.N: Hi! Writing this on last day of half term. won't get much time after school starts with homework, drama club and Staying behind to do D.T (hate it!) so getting it done ASAP. Baby bro gonna be born soon as well. Im not gonna get time to write much so sorry if after this chapter it takes a while to get a new one. Okay, now that's done - on with the story!
2. Light of Prox. Thomas.
We run towards the house. Each one of us saw the bird, this is not normal. Carmen overtakes me and catches up with Jason, her long pink hair flying out in the cool proxian air. Jason is still ahead of her but his hair doesn't fly! While I inherited dad's untidy mop of brown hair he got mom's neat blond hair. When Jason gets to the house he stops, panting. Carmen trips and falls into the snow right behind him. She just picks herself back up again, I know she is a Mars adept but I don't understand how she can even wear that combat dress, run and keep warm in it!
I finally catch up and we go inside. Mom lying down on the couch. She hasn't felt well recently and she has to wait here instead of going to the clinic. Dad has asked his old friend Mia to come. She's an excellent healer he says. We walk over to the couch and try to glimpse at the letter but mom folds it up and puts it in her pocket.
"Mom, what's that letter?" I ask her.
"Just something from Isaac, you know dad contacted him about two months ago." She says, we can tell immediately that she is lying. The part about dad is true. Dad had disappeared from his friends after saving Weyard. He came to Prox, mom eventually found him and they got married then had us. His friends and even his sister didn't know where he was until two months ago when he contacted everyone saying that he was sorry he had gone but he needed some alone time after the gigantic quest they had been on.
"Mom we all know that the letter is important. You look paler than you did when I left five minutes ago to give these two their tea." Jason tells her, voicing all of our thoughts. She sighs before replying.
"Fine, boys and Carmen, can you meet in the kitchen in ten minutes?" She asks us. We all nod. She then gets up and goes outside into our tiny back yard where dad is chopping firewood. Now there is nothing to do but wait.
10 minutes later
"Boys, Carmen," dad begins "you all want to know about the letter don't you?" it is a simple question and we all confirm the answer - yes. "Fine, I'll tell you." dad says "That letter is from Garet's son Tyrell. The eclipse that happened months ago was put to a finish by him, your cousin Matthew and a lot of other people, I know this because Isaac told me when he visited a while ago. When they got home though, they found a ginormous psynergy vortex by their home. They found a note from Isaac with our address on. Their parents were nowhere to be found. They got out just before the vortex swallowed the cabin up. It turns out that the vortex is the Mourning Moon. They sent this letter hoping for me and your mom to help. But we can't; I have to stay here until mom gets better. The people who need to go are you."
We sit there in silence, stunned by what we have just heard. The Mourning Moon has returned! This could mean the end of Weyard after the eclipse. People are still recovering. This is a crisis, what can me, Jason and Carmen do?
"Whoa! Slow down. You expect us," I speak slowly to dad, making sure he listens "to go try to get rid of the most deadly thing there is in all of Weyard, and to get there travel across thousands of miles?" To my surprise he nods, hesitates, then nods again. Then he speaks.
"I admit, it sounds impossible, but me and mom did it. Isaac and Garet did. Even Isaac and Garet's sons did it! So you can do it too." He stops then starts again before we start to ask questions. "Then again, you may not have to do much traveling." He says, we are immediately confused, how else are we going to get there?
"What do you mean Felix?" Carmen asks
"Well, Carmen, your family has passed down a special psynergy throughout the years. Generation to generation. Now you have that power, it is called 'Light of Prox'. If you head to the peak of the Mars lighthouse and use it you can get anywhere in Weyard." He says, but then he adds heartily "Of course you can't go into people's homes or to any place of large psynergy power like Sol Sanctum or another lighthouse." We all sit here, thinking about what dad has just said.
"So if I do this we can get straight to the cabin?" Carmen asks.
"In a matter of seconds, well it may take a little longer than that to get up the lighthouse." Dad answers. He can be annoying at times when he doesn't give you the full answer the first time.
"So, do you feel up to the challenge?" Mom asks, smiling. We take turns looking at each other then grin and speak as one.
"Yes!"
A.N: Dramatic chapter ending! Sorry again about the boring-ish first chapters. I promise that in the next chapter it'll get more exciting. They start killing things, yay! That's it for now, bye!
