A.N: Hi guys! Bit sad to see that "Return of the Mourning Moon" still has no reviews except for one from a person called "Me" that says simply "Good". That's literally all it says. Please please please review my story. I'm getting lonely and depressed with no reviews to respond to. Anyways, I'm putting down what happened in the last chapter. Right on with the story
Previously (Carmen's POV): I get ready to cast Light of Prox, just before I do, I hear a growl coming from behind me. I stop and grasp my axe. I hear Tom casting psynergies to raise our power and defence, Jason pulls an arrow from his quiver, I turn slowly and see a giant dragon bearing down on us.
Chapter 4. Battle! Jason.
I run away from the monster, almost to the edge of the Lighthouse. Carmen starts the battle by holding her new new axe aloft and shouting "Die! Hideous beast!" I can't help but smile, typical Carmen, insulting something that's trying to kill her.
Now I'm further away I can properly examine it without being squished. It's a massive red dragon with wings and a long spiked tail. I cover my eyes as Tom strikes it with plasma. I then start shooting at it's wings. If it starts flying we won't be able to do much. I eventually shoot enough arrows so that it notices me causing it pain. I shoot a final arrow under it's wing before strapping my bow next to my quiver and start casting psynergy. Now it has that arrow there it won't be in a hurry to fly anywhere. I use Spire a few times before changing to Thorn. Feeling myself running out of Psynergy I quickly run towards the beacon where I know I will regenerate faster.
I go to grab my bow and a few more arrows and, to my surprise, I find my quiver full again. Dad or Mom must have charmed it so that the arrows returned to me. I shoot arrows until I have only one left. I aim carefully at it's eye. I draw and shoot. Then I see the arrow change before it hits the creature's left eye. The wood changes into rock with vines wrapped around it. A secret skill of the bow! I quickly name it Rock Shot, making sure I know to practice it later.
Carmen suddenly starts glowing. She throws her axe in the air and rushes towards the dragon. The dragon breathes fire on her but she just grimaces and holds her burnt side. This must be her Light of Prox Psynergy! She now does something totally unexpected. She punches the dragon In the jaw. It howls but doesn't move to strike her. I then realise it has been stunned by Carmen's Light of Prox!
Tom runs in and uses his staff to propel him onto the dragon's back. He raises the staff and a blade comes out of it. He plunges this into the dragon multiple times. Before it gives out a final shriek of agony and falls down dead.
We regroup by the beacon. I use cure to heal mine and Tom's wounds. When I go to heal Carmen I find that she has no wounds. This confuses me greatly.
"Weren't you burned by the dragon?" I ask.
"My Light of Prox healed my burns. It was amazing! I felt such power In those few moments. Who knew it could be used in battle?" She answers. I then turn to Tom.
"That blade in your staff, was that a skill or just a feature of the weapon?" I ask him, my curiosity showing clearly.
"A skill." He tells me. "I've named it 'Blade of Thor' because it looks like a lightning bolt. What do you call that rock-arrow thingby?"
"Rock Shot." I tell him. Now I turn back to Carmen "So Carmen, where were we with the teleporty thing?" I grin at her and she grins back.
"Grab my hands." She instructs us. She then starts glowing again. She turns towards the beacon and starts running towards it. We are forced to run with her or we will be dragged along. She jumps into the beacon and we follow, closing our eyes but never letting go of her hands. I can feel a horrible wrenching sensation in my stomach as we go through a portal and land on the ground.
I open my eyes expecting or see the lumberjack camp that dad described to us as where we should try to get to. Instead I see a large dock in front of me. Filled with ships. When I turn around I see a busy town full of people. Many seem to be sailors. I run up to one to ask them where we are.
"Excuse me Ma'am, what is this town called?" I ask her.
"This is Port Rago strangers! Haven for all ship captains!" she answers me. I frown as I realise that we are in the far east of Weyard when we need to be in the West. I thank her and return to Tom and Carmen. When I explain to them the situation they look at me in disbelief. We try to figure out the cause of the faulty transportation and then it dawns on me.
"Guys, did the dragon touch the beacon?" For a human touching a beacon would kill them and make the beacon lose power. If a monster did that I imagine that something similar would happen only the monster may not die. The realisation on their faces is obvious. The dragon messed up our only chance to get to the cabin almost right away.
We can hear shouts from the town square. We run towards there to find a pysnergy vortex above a house with a black-clad person holding a crossbow standing in front. I recognise him as a tuaparang, they attacked Prox during the eclipse. We start to run towards him but we are stopped by a woman in a bright blue dress with dark blue hair. She carries a staff that is an icy blue, the staff has a head shaped like a water droplet. There are two veils of water that run from the head and disappear before hitting the ground. Judging by her staff she is obviously a water adept.
"Don't go fight him. These people think three against one is disgusting in a fight, even if the solo fighter is a villain. I'm fighting him." She tells us, the tone of her voice puts the message across more than any words could.
"Who are you? How do we know that you can beat him?" Carmen asks her.
"My name is Lucy, I am a healer and the best water adept in Port Rago, the elder has given me the latter title. I will beat him." She answers. She runs towards the soldier. Staff held aloft.
