Chapter 1:

Heartache

      On a nightly cliff side, with the sea crashing on the bottom of it. Jon is sitting on the edge, having a picture of a very nice looking girl on his fingers. Looking at it intently, after a while he lets it go and lets the wind take it into the vast sea ahead. He doesn't know the girl in the picture very well, it was just a random chick that popped up interested in him. Looking down on the cliff, he starts to think deeply, with a sigh he starts speaking to mostly himself; unaware of having Gen, Alexandra, Olga, Yoshi and The Guiding Spirit of Jon “ Liam ” listening to him in the forest around him, in the shadows. Jon starts to talk high enough that the rest of the gang can listen to him:

      “Why?.... why can't I have her with me? Ugh how I hate this feeling.”

     He continues on; “So many damn mistakes, why can't I fix them. Why haven't I stopped when I had the chance? What the hell is wrong with me!?”

      Gen listening in the shadows, starts to quietly panic as she has on her hands a small creature. This creature is a dog, a pup to be more accurate, but just not quite. Its fur can change in three colors, white, black and in between the first two. But in some occasions there is purple in the mix. Its eyes are unnaturally clear almost invisible with the hint of brown, like if you were to see them straight, you might think that you can see inside of them and beyond. It also has like a small elegant looking heart symbol on the right side of its delicate puppy face.

      It starts to faintly whimper like if it was in pain. It's small paws now curls up on it's chest and clamping them there, not wanting to put them away. Gen starts to inspect its chest, worried that it might be injured or something worse its happening to it. She is surprise to see that on its chest, she could somewhat see what appears to be a heart, glowing faintly through its now white almost gray fur. Gen worried said in a whisper, not wanting to alert the rest of the group and to blow there covers from Jon:

      “What's wrong little thing? Are you okay?”

      The pup, just continues to whimper softly, and Liam comes up and sits next to Gen after attentively inspecting Jon. Liam is quite a majestic creature to be admired, it's the same type of creatures that Gen has in her hands, but with a very distinct difference.

      Liam is a male “guide spirit”. It's as high as a human adult while he is sat, looks more like a wolf, slick yet buffed and very powerful, he can look very menacing. It's something you wouldn't messed with even if you were drunk out of your mind, or potentially empty in the skull. It has a very impeccable white thick fur, its very beautiful, it even lightly glows and shine on the areas that the moonlight rays hits on it. It also has some kind of symbol mark on its right side of its wolf face. It's according to him a “Spirit Symbol”, his is like a brush painted black compass with four elegantly looking arrows on all four main directions, North, South, East and West. It also had a just as elegant circle connecting the four arrows into one piece beautiful piece.

      Next to Gen, Liam got closer watching the pup whimper, scanning the poor little thing, and raises its head to face Gen:

      “Gen I haven't told you this...” Liam said almost in a whisper with a calm yet worried face. “...but all the creatures, the spirits, that you and your friends had encountered, are all connected to Jon.”

      Gen looked at Liam, the rest overhearing what Liam had said also looked at him with a confused and very puzzled expressions on there faces.
