*that night, at the Air Castle*
Well,
there's no sense going right now. It's already dark out.
I can't
believe Orakio would just leave like that.
I can.
Well, either
way.
Jema,
are you alright?
*lowly*
I'm fine. Just scared.
*places
a hand on Jema's shoulder* There's nothing to be scared about.
Tomorrow, the 4 of us are gonna scale Dragon Heights and get to
the Baya Malay Swamp.
Hopefully by
then the tower will still be underground, right?
Hopefully.
We have to find and destroy the Circle of Power before Anja can
get to it. I figure the more of us there are the better odds of
us finding it first.
Don't you
remember what Zak told us? That there are dangerous monsters
inside the tower?
Nothing
we can't handle.
Chrissy.
Will you listen to me for a second.
What
is it Jema?
During
this trip, no matter how rough it gets, don't power up.
Why?
If
Anja senses power, she's gonna follow it. Your life could be in
danger if she finds you.
Alright.
No power.
*looks at
Chrissy's lamp* Chrissy, what's this? *grabs the envelope.
*looks
at the envelope* ?? Not a clue. Is it addressed to me?
It says
"To my love"
Must be her
then.
Let
me see it.
Awww...
but I wanna see how sappy Orakio can get. *hands Chrissy the
envelope.
*opens
it and takes out the letter* I stick my tongue out at you ma'am.
*sticks tongue out*
*rolls
eyes* And I'm the youngest one here.
*reads
the letter silently*
Chrissy,
I'm sorry I haven't been here a lot for you lately. I know how
hard Kyra's death was to you. In case you're wondering, Rulakir
and I have gone to the Western Desert in order to get to the Baya
Malay Swamp. There is something we need to do there in order to
stop Anja completely.
Please do not follow me. This is dangerous enough and I don't
want anything to happen to you. I swear I will make Anja pay for
what she did to Kyra. All you need to do is take it easy.
I love you always Chrissy. Never forget that.
Love,
Orakio
What did it
say?
*sighs*
Orakio doesn't want us to follow him.
Why?
*puts
the letter back on her bed* Doesn't matter. Since when does teh
Chris-chris follow orders, especially from her boyfriend?
Never.
This
is my battle too. Rest up, tomorrow we head for Dragon Heights!
