The Island of Water and Lightning
"Looks like the silence is here too." Nate said as he, Bre, and Wolfie made their way around the island.
"I was hoping Andy was wrong." Bre stopped walking as they came to the Island's center.
"I need to check on Eme." Wolfie stated before running towards his house. "Eme?!"
"Wolfie!" Eme came running down the stairs. She sank into her husband's arms.
"Eme, you're alright." Bre and Nate entered the house.
"How are you breaking my silence?!" A man shouted before appearing in the doorway.
"You must be Ember." Nate practically hissed. He took a defensive stance in front of Bre.
"So you've heard of me?" Ember snarled. "Then you must know that I am The Lord of Silence and I will rule these islands."
"No you won't, we will not allow you to continue this. Your silence will end." Bre answered.
"You really think you can stop us again?" A familiar voice came from outside.
"Impossible!" Nate knew that voice.
"Do you really think your precious Enchantress could defeat me so easily?" The voice trilled with an evil laugh. "Come, Ember, we have preparations to make. Eddie will meet us there."
"Nate?" Bre looked at Nate. "You look like you've just seen a ghost.
"Not seen. Heard." Nate couldn't comprehend what just happened. "You were not around him much, but his voice should have been familiar."
"Now that you mention it..." Wolfie thought for a moment.
"But who?" Eme asked; she too, recognized the voice.
"I need to alert Bane and the Enchantress as soon as we find the Water General." Nate was still trying to figure out how it was even possible. "There's no way..." He thought out loud.
"Eme, how did you break the silence?" Wolfie turned to his wife.
"I don't know. The weather has been really bad here lately, and I haven't been sleeping much." She started to explain. "I laid down to rest and when I woke up, everything and everyone was silent. There were no sounds."
"Eme, here." Bre wasn't sure, but she handed Eme the pendant anyways.
"Are you sure?" Wolfie asked. They all watched as the pendant reacted to Eme's touch.
"I guess so..." Nate said. He was clearly on edge over the voice they heard.
"Nate, are you okay?" Bre asked. "Go, find Bane and Celtic. We'll head back to the Main Island. They mentioned checking in on the Island of Fire and Cold before heading to the Island of Light and Dark."
"Are you sure we will be alright?" Eme asked, this whol General thing was making her nervous.
"We will be fine. We will join Andy and the others on the Main Island. We will need to start figuring out how to break this silence before it's too late." Bre reassured Eme. "Go, Nate, we'll be fine."
"Alright, I will join you as soon as I finish talking to Bane and Celtic." Nate replied before heading to the Island of Fire and Cold.
-on the Island of Fire and Cold-
"Not surprising that it has reached here." Bane said. Celtic, Ellie, and Bane stood in the center of the Island.
"We should head to my cottage. At least we'll find a place to rest." Celtic took a deep breath. "We will need to figure out how this silence works before we will be able to stop it."
"But we will need to find all of the Generals first, right?" Ellie asked. She was a little nervous about going to the Island of Light of Dark.
"Yes, there are a few other things as well." Celtic replied.
"Nate?" Bane noticed Nate pacing in front of Celtic's cottage. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not quite sure how to explain..." Nate trailed off as he thought about what happened on the Island of Water and Lightning.
"Nate, you look like you've seen a ghost." Celtic motioned for him to sit down.
"I heard a ghost. A ghost from the past..." Nate was visibly shaken.
"Who?" Ellie asked. Nate locked eyes with Celtic.
"Blue." Nate watched as the name sank in.
"Are you sure?" Bane asked. He remembered the reflections Celtic saw months ago. Feeling the tension from Celtic now he had to find out the truth. "Are you absolutely sure it was him and not some mind trick?"
"It's him." Celtic couldn't move... she could hardly breathe. "...It may not be him in the flesh... but it's him..." She looked at Bane, fear evident in her eyes.
"Come here." Bane pulled her into his arms as they both relived that fight from so long ago. "He won't hurt you. I promise."
