"Kayson Sharik." Basil helped him stand up.
"Nice to meet you, Boss." He smiled then chuckled. Kayson gave an unsure look but quickly replaced it with a smile.
"We better get moving to safer ground." Basil said. Kayson nodded in agreement. They took extra care crossing the ledge but made it across safely. Now it was back down the path avoiding the edges.
"So what are you doing here?" Kayson asked starting a conversation.
"I'm not really sure. Everything seems all messed up. We were trying to find you but I guess I overacted and ran off." Basil admitted. Kayson looked confused. Basil forgot that Kayson didn't know there were others yet or why he was here alone.
"The rest of the Elementals and my brother somehow arrived here and we were just basically trying to find everyone. But when we were heading our way here I know I saw someone but the others just think I was seeing things. I know someone was there! He was looking right at me. I could see the whites of his eyes!" He explained.
"I believe you." Kayson said. Basil stared at him like he was levitating. "Why would you defend a fancy so hard? You don't look like someone who would go making up stories."
"Thank you." Basil said quietly. Kayson smiled in return. There was the sound of beating feet and Matt around a boulder. He smiled when he saw Basil.
"Basil! I'm glad I found you." Matt ran up to them out of breath. He put his hands on legs taking deep breaths.
"Matt what are you doing here?" He asked surprised. Matt stood back up right.
"When you ran off I was worried so I chased after you. But when you went around a bend you disappeared." He said then he seemed to just notice Kayson standing next to him.
"Who's your friend?"
"Kayson this is my brother Matt. Matt this is the Sky Guardian Kayson." He introduced.
"You found the Sky! Great work Basil!" Matt smiled.
"I really didn't do that much." He shrugged.
"Not true. You saved my life!" Kayson told him. Basil looked past Matt shoulder to see the strange man standing there watching them. The corners of lips bent into a smile and gave a signal nod.
"You!" He shouted at the man but the time Matt turned his head around he vanished.
"You saw your mystery person again." Matt looked around. Basil's heart sunk. Matt didn't sound like he believed him. He was going to think he was nuts.
"But he was there I saw him!" Kayson came to his aid. Basil stared in disbelief. Did he really see him or was he just saying that?
"Dressed up in a suit with his tie loosely tied around his neck with blonde hair, right Basil." Kayson turned to see if he would confirm. He nodded. Basil couldn't believe it someone else saw him to! He wasn't losing it.
"I wonder why he won't show himself to the rest of us." Matt rubbed the top of his head.
"Maybe Lunas will tell us." He suggested.
"Lunas?" Kayson asked confused.
"You'll see." Basil reassured lighting his ring. He couldn't help but notice Kayson's startled reaction to the flaming ring. How much did he know? Or better question, how much didn't he know? Basil continued by slamming the ring into the hole in the box. Lunas rushed out in explosion of purple flames. You found the Boss I see. Lunas looked at Kayson who took a step back in reply.
"W-Why is that owl on fire! What's going on?!" Kayson flipped out.
"Calm down now." Matt patted the air.
"Don't worry, Lunas is friendly. You see each Guardian has a partner that are contained in one of these boxes." Basil started but Lunas cut him off. Box Weapons. They're called Box Weapons. There are more than the Elemental Boxes. Lunas informed. "Or I guess more specifically, Box Weapons. The only way to open them up is with you Elemental Ring. It's not hard. You focus your strong emotions, your resolve into the ring and lights up. Try it." He encouraged. Kayson looked at the ring on his finger. His eyes narrowed slightly seeing he was concentrating. Then the ring's top was engulfed in orange flames. Kayson was first startled but then a smile crossed his face. Then he looked back up at him.
"Your owl talks to you." He said not sure if he understood.
"Well he actually talks to me telepathically. I have to talk out loud to talk back." Basil explained. It was then he realized something. "Wait, haven't you found your partner yet. I guess not since you just got here and all." He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Then I guess that's what I have to do next." Kayson let the flame die out.
"From what we discovered all the boxes are in the place relating to your element." Matt said.
"And it doesn't always have to do where you showed up either." Basil added.
"So where would mine be?" Kayson asked. Matt looked up thinking,
"Let's see. You arrived on the mountain so I doubt it will be up there. Maybe someplace that connects to where you were before you came here."
"Great idea! I found Lunas in the place I last remember!" Basil was quick to comment. He glanced at the owl that perched on his shoulder.
"The last place I remember being was at my locker at Scepres Middle School." Kayson stated. Basil couldn't believe it! Everyone but Miles was in his school and he bet Miles lived in the feeding area as well. Why do seem so surprise that all the Guardians live in the same area? The Guardians have always been near each other. The same way all the elements come together under the sky. Basil guessed he had a point but he wasn't going to continue down that road. How are we supposed to find something related to a locker out here?! His mind shouted.
