CHAPTER 7: THE FEVER
Geed found himself lost in a forest. He did not know how he got there. All he remembered was a sudden pain, a blur, a moment of darkness and him appearing in the forest.
As Geed moved on, he saw four figures approaching hastily.
"The Chronicles, they contain the key. It's the only way to seal Darkmanner" a figure in a red cloak said.
"Luckily, I hear that Gideon has been able to create the Sword Of Light" a female in a blue gown spoke.
"Last I heard, the Sword was hidden in the Realm Of Light. Only the 'Heart Of Five Points' can recover it" a man in a brown robe replied.
Suddenly, a figure in a golden robe rode past, a shadowy figure followed close behind.
On the outside, Geed was lying on a bed, in an inn. They had arrived in Subterranea. Geed was shivering uncontrollably. He was carried to a room in the inn. Alice laid a hand on Geed's forehead. She sharply withdrew it.
"He's burning up. What do we do? Boa's venom is spreading faster and faster!" Alice exclaimed in concern.
"There's nothing we can do. It's all up to him" Taros said.
At that statement, Alice hugged Geed and burst into tears.
"You've known him for long?" Taros asked.
"He...he reminds me of someone I lost five years ago" she replied.
For Geed, he was still in the forest chasing after the two figures. He glided on the wind till the figures took him into a dark cavern. In the Cavern, the figures were nowhere to be seen.
Geed saw huge stone writings written on Golden Tablets on the Wall. These, he guessed must be the Chronicles Of The Ancients. On it, he saw the words,
"The darkness hides from you the light
Of Justice and of Truth
It fills a creature formed like man
The Sacred Powers must come undone
Find the gems, create the Sword
Once prepared, you must face the Dark Lord".
Suddenly, Geed saw an image of Gideon and Lord Darkmanner fighting. They both seemed exhausted, then without warning, Gideon removed a sacred stone shaped like the Five Point Star and placed it on Darkmanner's chest. There was a brilliant flash of light and Darkmanner disappeared. Then Geed noticed that Gideon was holding a parcel. There was a child wrapped in warm garments. Gideon was speaking to the child, then he placed the child on the ground and made the replica of the Five Point Star.
"EARTH! WATER! FIRE! WIND! DARK! LIGHT!" Geed heard Gideon summon the spirits.
The bright flash of light appeared and carried the child but Gideon was also taken. Geed saw time and space speed all around him and suddenly he saw the fires burning Phoenicia Castle, saw Romanus fall, saw Canine die and then he opened his eyes from the vision to see Alice hugging him.
"Gideon, you came back" Alice exclaimed happily.
"I had the weirdest dream" Geed said. "We must find the Earth Gem as soon as possible" Geed informed the others.
Alice nodded and Taros agreed.
"We have arrived in Subterranea" Boa informed them. "From here on, you must continue alone. The Guardian of the Gem will not take it lightly if I enter".
"Thanks for everything Boa, especially the bite. It helped me learn a bit of truth" Geed thanked Boa.
Boa nodded and left.
