Islands of the Sky

Chapter 8- Rebellion

"I'll be back after I finish this," I call back to Comet, not even looking over my shoulder thinking he was back at the monitor.

"Wait Kiero, hang on, you don't have to go down we could just let it blow over. I mean what if they throw stones at you? You know if you use magic with out using words it will only prove to scare them some more!" Comet grabbed my shoulder and held me in place and I could feel the beast within growl at the interference.

"Comet if it hasn't blown over in three months I doubt any more time will let it pass." I sigh and shook his hand off my shoulder and continuing to the back wall. Comet stepped back filling the room with an awkward silence that danced happily around us. The groaning of the back wall opening to the sky echoed through the room killing the silence.

"Just be... cautious I have a bad feeling about this," I turn back as I swing my hips unto Griffin. I smile softly at him as a father would at his son.

"Look who is telling who to be careful! You're always the one rushing into things or telling me to charge in, it's nice to see you finally care if I live or perish." I point at him and his face goes from one of worry to that of annoyance.

"Okay fine, go get stones thrown at you for all I care," He grins and winks at me turning his back to me and walks up to the monitor and looks over his shoulder. "All set go get 'em Kiero," He laughs and gives me the big thumbs up for the mission start.

I breathe in deeply and turn to the open sky as the signs of failure hang in the air and I hear voices taunt me saying. "They will hate you, you can't change them now, you've tried this all before. " The voices got louder and louder as I felt the tension in Griffins legs form, ready for take off. As I am about to kick Griffin's side as the "let's go", the voices took form and I saw dream like forms of my doubt and timidness in the air taunting and teasing me.

Who says he can't do this? You? Surely not, for while your a part of him you do not control him! Griffin's voice acted like daggers being plunged into the dream forms and they dissipated into the air with ghostly smiles on their lips. A smile so ghostly chills still ran down my spine as Griffin's powerful wings launched us into the sky and we began to head to Animal Island were I knew history would either be changed forever or be doomed to repeat it's self.

I curled my finger's tightly into Griffins mane as the wind blow against my chest as if trying to pull me off of him. I began to wonder if this was the worlds way of telling me it was a bad idea and should head back. The thoughts grew in my head and I was about to tap Griffin on the shoulder to let him know I couldn't go on with the mission; the image of the ghostly dream like forms smirking appeared in my mind grinning as their eyes glowed a bright red in total lack of pupils.

"That's right, what you thought when you took off about history being doomed to repeat itself well you' re right, as if a coward could stop a rebellion." The dream form spoke again voicing once more the uncertainties that plagued my mind and heart.

Are actually going to listen to them Kiero? Humph how did you manage to pull me up from earth or keep a spell as complex as that going long enough for my body to be pulled through if you are constantly dealing with these creatures in your mind? Lunar's claws appeared from behind the creature as he finished his words and he shredded the thing to bits letting it reform elsewhere. The scene changed in my mind from the total blackness and emptiness, I try to keep it at in a way to stay focused, to that of a world that wasn't quite one I recognized but resonated the feeling of home, of safety as if I had grown up in this place all along. It was almost like a dream where you feel at home and every one else in the dream says your at home but when you look around it's not what you know your house to be and some how it's still alright.
