5.
Risha stood, tired, in the middle of an empty field. Tyren had trained her each time he came home. She trained herself each time he wasn't here. She really wanted to make him proud, and to make James proud. She was managing to control her powers. She even learned a few new abilities. All this made her
more confident, more secure about herself. She looked around, seeing all the holes, from the many stones she levitated. She could barely see them in the darkness. She stared at the moon and smiled. She lifted a stone under her feet, and flew one it. She arrived home in less than six minutes. She quickly snuck
in making sure not wake anyone. She wasn't allowed to go out and train at night, Melani told her countless amount of times. She crawled in bed and stared at the roof.
The next day, Fier stood on the roof. He was bored, as usual. He closed his eyes, and listened to the birds. The door opened, he looked down and saw Risha walking into the fields. She pulled up the hood on her sweater. Fier stared as she disappeared in the distant hills. He jumped off the roof, and ran after her.
He arrived at the top of a cliff, behind Risha, who was just standing there. She seemed to be in a trance. Fier hid behind a tree, and stared at her. Risha did nothing but stand there. Suddenly, he noticed that in the distance, plants where moving, and growing. They started shrinking, and doing all sorts of things plants
don't do on their own. Fier smiled, Risha really was getting the hang of her powers. He stepped out of his hiding spot, and spoke.
"Well, I see you're pretty good at this stuff."
The plants stopped, and Risha turned to face his, surprised.
"Why are you stopping? Don't tell me I wasn't suppose to see this."
"No, it's just, I wasn't expecting anyone here."
"Do you think you're ready?"
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
"For what?"
"War, you might have to go, like I will."
"Why!?"
"Well, I should've gone a long time ago, but the college didn't want to let me go. You might have to go, because new, powerful troops are coming to aide the South. We will need our own powerful troops."
Risha was staring at him, eyes wide.
Fier punched her shoulder gently. "Just kidding, just kidding."
Risha smiled, she closed her eyes.
Fier turned and started to walk away, when suddenly, the tree he hid behind grabbed him with its branches. Fier struggled to break out of its grip. After a long while, he gave up, and started to scream. The tree dropped him, and Risha started laughing.
"Not so tough now, are you."
"So it was you."
Risha looked around and pointed to herself. "Who, me?"
"Yes, you."
"Sorry, I was getting ready for when I go to war."
"Riiiight. I believe yah."
"You better."
"Or what?"
"Or I'll summon a great giant thunder bolt to hit you!"
Fier laughed. "Oh, I'm so scared."
Risha closed her eyes. The wind started picking up speed. The sky turned cloudy. Fier's eyes grew wide. He turned around and ran. Risha opened her eyes and laughed.
Risha spent the rest of the day improving her sword skills with Elia, Practicing Archery with Fier, and cooking with Melani. She was exhausted by Two. She sat under an oak tree, petting Bisquet, the family cat, as Ollie, the family dog, ran around the yard. She stared into the horizon, when she saw a black
figure, small and distant. She closed her eyes and let her energy flow into her eyes. She suddenly saw everything as if through a telescope. A horse, with Tyren on top. She opened her eyes, quickly nauseated by the sudden change in view. She ran down the path to meet up with Tyren. Tyren came up slowly, and waved.
Risha was glad, her heart felt like bursting out. She jump into Tyren’s arms and hugged him dearly. Tyren returned the warm embrace without hesitation.
Tyren was exited to be back for a while. He was getting teary eyed, but he manashed to hide it. Ollie and Bisquet came running up to him. He got of the Blaze and ran with the animals home. He went into the house, slowly, as not to alarm anyone. He went and hugged Fier and Elia. He then walked over to his
room, and grab Melani by her waist. She turned, and kissed him gently. He returned the kiss with passion and longing, like a dead man tasting life for the first time. They slowly and painfully stopped. Tears were coming down Melani's eyes and from his too.
"Is it finally over?" asked Melani in her casual sweet voice.
Tyren stared at the ground, "No, I came back to grab the Fire Element."
Melani squirmed out of his arms and stared at him, mouth wide open.
"They stole the Ice Element, so I must take it."
She stared at him before responding, "Hmmm... I knew the day would come when we would use them again."
"Yeah..."
The thin lady stared into the distance, "It reminds me of the first few days after we got married."
Tyren kissed her once more before leaving.
Elia was standing outside, talking on her CPU when someone came walking up the hill near her home. She hung up and went walking slowly to see who it was. The man wore a large brown robe. Like most monks, or rebels. Then she saw an unmestakleble feature. Light-Blue hair. She ran down and hugged Tyren.
"Well, this is a surprise." Tyren said, smiling wide.
“What do you mean?"
"If I recall right, you told me that you were too old to hug me in public."
"Well, were not in public."
"I wouldn't bet on that" came a voice from behind Elia.
She spun around, "Why, hello Drokiem, Hi Suzar, hi ummm.... you."
The young man smiled, "Come on, it's me."
Elia smiled, "Shion you've changed, you actually look good now."
He frowned.
"Well, why are you back so early, Daddy...I mean, Father?"
"It was all a false alarm, again. Someone wanted attention so he made up a story about stealing the Element of Ice."
"Well. At least nothing bad happened."
Drokiem spoke, "She's right, we are all alright and that's all that matters."
They walked to the house.
Rolik stared at Eliazar, eyes wide. He couldn't believe his eyes. He felt the black, round orb to be sure it really was there. It was, the Element of Darkness was really in front of him.
"How did you get it?" was the only thing Rolik could ask.
“First, I tricked Tyren by spreading the rumor of the stolen Ice Element, while he went to retrieve it, I snuck into the Shrine of Darkness and stole it."
Rolik was astounded, he heard of the thief's abilities, but never something to this scale.
"Why the Element of Darkness, you should've gone after something useful, like Stone, so you could use it in battle."
"Ahhh, but we will use Darkness in battle."
"How, all we could do is blind our enemy."
"Don't underestimate this Element, like many others have done so. This may be the strongest of the Eight Elements."
"How?"
"You will see in a few days." Eliazar left, Element in his hand.
Tyren stared at the field. The enemy hadn't attacked in days, and he was wondering why. They were planning something, he knew that much, but what. Sorl flew down to Tyren, and looked into the distance. Tyren turned and hoped on the dragon. They flew of, back to the camp.
Risha answered the ringing phone. No one was home besides her, and Melani, who was in the shower.
"Hello?" Risha said into the small apparatus.
A small voice answered, "Hello, Risha, nice to speak to you."
Sounds like a kid, Risha thought, a boy maybe.
"How do you know me?"
The voice responded slowly, unsure, "We met before. Is Tyren there?"
Risha stared into space wondering where she might have heard that voice.
"Well, is he or is he not there?"
"No, he's not."
The line went silent. Risha still tried to find out who called. She checked the caller ID, but it said it was a private number. She decided to take hr mind of the call and went outside.
Rolik stood among thousands of soldiers who all stared at two people. The first was Eliazar, the master mind thief. The second was Golk, who had the Dark Element in his hand. Golk had called them all to witness the power of the Element of Darkness. Rolik knew exactly what was going to happen,
Golk will raise his hand, and the sky will turn black, giving them the advantage of surprise. Rolik stood, wondering why it was such a great power. Golk turned and faced the army.
"Great men, we are here to witness a great act of power. I will not darken the sky, as many believe I will. No, I will use the Elements true power, or a portion of it. And yes, it has more power."
Golk stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down at the North's Camp. He stretched his arm forward. Everyone waited patiently, looking at the field below.
Tyren was tired of sitting around doing nothing. He walked down the hill and went toward Drokiem's tent. He pushed the flap up, and found only a huge bowl of soup.
"Drokiem, my friend, where are you?"
There was no response.
"Drokiem, where are you?!?!"
"Over here!!"
Tyren turned around and saw Drokiem standing at the door.
Drokiem smiled and walked in. "You needed something?"
"Yes, Drokiem. Tell the army to pack everything up, we're moving our camp."
"Yes sir. Shall I tell them to be armed and ready?"
"Why?"
Drokiem stared in the direction of the battle field. "Well, just in case if they attack. After all, we haven't seen them in a while, so how do we know if they aren't planning a sneak attack?"
"Good point. Fine, tell them to be armed and ready. Also, tell them to be ready to leave in seven minutes."
Eliazor stared down at the enemy camp. He was excited, very very excited. He couldn't wait to see what one of the Dark Element's powers Golk was going to use. He continued to stare down at the camp. They were doing something, but what? He continued to stare, waiting, motionless. Then he saw it,
Golk had used the Elements power to summon Shadow Beings. Eliazor was feeling honored to see the ancient legendary creatures before his eyes. He stared at them as they ran toward their target.
The camp was brought down, and people were leaving. Tyren was about to mount Bedazzle, when a falcon came. It landed and dropped a note at Tyren's feet. The falcon took flight again and left. Tyren picked up the note and looked at the falcon that was almost out of sight. That was something you
didn't see everyday. Most people used pigeons or hawks if the message was in some perilous place. However, a falcon was hardly used, except by Tyren’s old family friend. He picked up the message and read it.
Rolik stared in shock, as the weird dog like creatures filled the hills and ran down the valley. Most of the army had left, but those left had no chance.
Tyren had a strange feeling, as if the air around him was suddenly thicker. His ears were filled with a loud, low, groaning sound. His vision became blurry. Then he fell on his knees. Tyren heard a high pitched whistling. He pushed himself up and tried to focus. He saw large, doglike creatures covered in
Shadowy-matter. Their legs were long and thin. They were faceless, but had eyes, or at least something that looked like red eyes. They had no mouth, no snout like a dog. They had not only one, but four long droopy tails. One of the creatures ran to a soldier that was getting up and jumped on him. The soldier
scram in pain. Then his body went limp. Tyren ran toward the creature, sword in hand. He slashed the creature in half, spun around, stab another that was jumping at him. He ran toward a pole, two creatures right behind him. He was close to the pole when another creature came in front of him. He ran to left,
just to be met by another creature. He spun around, he was surrounded. He got ready to attack, but more came. There were at least fifty around him. Tyren closed his eyes. He started thinking of his family, the day he first met Risha, and when he met Melani.
