The Fallen Rises, Original Storyline

Chapter 4 A Hike on Frost Storm

When they walk uphill, Lucas spectated the world out there and noticed how far they are from their landing zone. He could imagine climbing on a mountain, they hiked up a mountain that's bigger than they could picture. Once Lynn climbed up to the peak first, she helped her friends as they struggled to continue, then she saw none other than her big sister Sasha, and beside her, their old relative Kurai. Sasha knows her sister's going to venture off with her friends to find Toby and decides to help them find him. Suddenly they heard lightning from a distance and the sound of the loud crunch coming behind them. It was a man with a scratch mark on his face.

"Uncle Colt!" Sasha shouted with recognition. Lynn was surprised she's also related to a lightning wielder. Kurai asked Colt as they walked on the way "It's good to see you Colt, but what brings you here?" "Not much" huffed Colt "Although I was told to look after those newcomers who arrived on this Frostorm. It's not safe for newcomers to visit.

"For your information, I know this planet better than you Colt."

"Right" Colt forgot Kurai is eons older than him. But it didn't mean he had to leave them with him. At least not yet, since Colt knows that the people, environment, and the animals here are not the same as they are during Kurai's time. After climbing a mountain in Frost Storm, Lucas opens a hologram star map to check the location of where they are to the point where they can find Toby. However, he doesn't know how to read it because he's looking at a star map. Willow snatched the map and sat next to him. The next thing she did was observing the stars, then she swiped more than 2 times randomly. Lucas is confused, although he didn't hesitate to speak to her, unlike anyone who're not her friends. Lynn took two steps to Willow and Lucas to see what she's doing. And on Willow's final swipe on the hologram star map, she found a red dot and stopped there. "Found it" she said referring to the Deceivers' base on mysterious black empty space in the galaxy. The three were aghast to know that the base was somewhere far from the stars. "The Lost Region?!" Lucas gasped. "You're joking right Willow?"

"That could only mean one thing" Willow replied, and in awareness, all of them said the same words that made everything crystal clear. "Toby went to the Lost Region."

"By himself?!" Charlotte cried out in shock. "I can't believe it. Toby had to go all the way out there just to go to a place so dark not even light can save him, I mean this isn't like him." Charlotte started feeling scared for Toby, knowing that if he goes there, he won't be able return. She started to feel something holding her hand, she looked to the left and she saw Willow and Lynn standing beside her. "It's okay." Lynn said gently. "We'll find him, I promise." Willow promised.

Dusk felt bad for Charlotte, and because he sees her feel that way it made him worry about his family and Skylar who was stubborn and angry towards him.

Jordan while helping his friends and teammates with their training in Aurora, started feeling something a bit odd. Lately he hasn't seen or heard anything from Any of his friends, especially Lynn whom he mostly tries to help. So, after the training is finished, Jordan rushed downhill to go to the burrow. He entered the hole and walked through the tunnels, leading him to room 3. (Jordan and Lynn's room) then he sighed, and he knocked on the door and said gently, "Lynn. You okay in there?" Jordan was concerned about her. Jordan heard no response in that room, so he opened it slowly and gently. In doing so, he found out that she isn't in the room. He found a note on her bed, picked it up and read it.

Dear Jordan,

If you ever found this note this means I left Aurora, because I found out that a friend of ours went missing but I'm not on my own looking for him. Don't worry, I'll be back soon

From your buddy

Lynn

"Oh no" Jordan sighed with an uneasy feeling about that note. Jordan hears the skating sound getting louder, and that sound came from his old partner during his time in college, Lydia. "Jordan, have you seen my brother?" Lydia asked wondering if he knows where he is." Jordan responded with only one word showing her the note written by Lynn "Yeah." Lydia's eyes widened when she blinked. Both learned that some of their friends left looking for Toby. Bushin opened his eyes as he witnessed a vision of Sasha leave Aurora with Kurai planning to go to the Lost Region along with Lynn and the others. Ven calmed him down when he saw Bushin's aura flowing as fast as a flaming fire. Ven said to him "You can't go son, you're not yet ready to go, even if you have strong powers and strong aura.

"Why?" Bushin asked "I may not be stronger, but I'm strong enough. I'm ready."

"Because the Lost Region is a dangerous place. No one knows what's in there plus they never get out of there alive once they got in." Ven replied as both Bushin and continue their meditation

Bushin also could see that there's something strange about that region. "I guess I have to focus more on controlling that psychic and Blood Mark."
