Between: Hope and Despair

Chapter 14: To The Beginning

After 2 days had passed, Dillon and the others had finally woke up from their disease and the 6 were to set off to Blizentia.

Jake: "You guys ready?"

Other 4: "Yeah."

Dillon: "Hey Jake."

Jake: "What Dillon?"

Dillon: "I've been meaning to ask you, why do you wear that arm armor all the time? Why don't you take it off?'

Jake: "Well actually..."

Daniel: "I noticed that too."

Annabelle: "C'mon tell us!"

Luis: "Yeah tell us."

Ethan: "Guys clam down, he is trying to say it."

Jake: "Thank you Ethan. The thing is.... I have Holyite prosthetics."

Other 5: "WHAT???!!!"

Luis: "I thought no human child had ever survived the bonding procedure!!!"

Jake: "I'm double surprised since I got them as a newborn."

Luis: "(in head) That could mean... naw, they are nearly extinct."

Ethan: "How???!!!"

Dillon: "That is insane!"

Jake: "Well we should get going. We'll talk more about it on the way."

They arrive on the edge of Herbalia.

Sirius: "Don't die Ethan."

Ethan: "O-Of course grandm- I mean master!"

They six begin their trek to Blizentia after saying farewell.

Ethan: "Jake do you mind telling us about your family?"

Jake: "(shudders) Guess you guys can know, besides I was kind of waiting till the six of us came together."

Dillon: "I can why. You really didn't mention much about you."

Jake: "True. Well, my father had abandoned my brother and I shortly after my brother was born."

Daniel: "Why? He had 2 sons.,,, wait,,, you have a brother!"

Jake: "Well yeah I do. Listen, he left after an argument he had with my mother about him creating his, 'ideal world,'  as my mom had always told me."

Annabelle: "What do you think he meant by that?"

Jake: "I have no idea, but anyways my parents got me the prosthetics at birth, somehow knowing I would live, and I grew up an outcast among Blizentia and you are the only people my age who talk to me."

Ethan: "That sounds like little kids."

Jake: "Then a month ago changed my life forever."

Luis: "What happened?"

Jake: "My first encounters with Impurities."

Annabelle: "What did they do?"

Jake: "They attacked my house, murdered my mom, nearly killed me, probably killed my brother, but it gave me a mission."

Dillon: "To find the rest of the pendants."

Jake: "Exactly. My mom gave me the pendant right then and there."

Daniel: "I have a question. Why are we going to Blizentia?"

Ethan: "Jake received a message that a strange cloaked figure had appeared at an abandoned altar near the village."

Jake: "And I believe that the person has something to do with the sudden spike in Impurities."

Dillon: "Oh yeah. There weren't very many Impurities up until we hit Kurent."

Jake: "Exactly, and Andrew said that the message was received shortly after the day we hit Kurent."

Daniel: "There must be a connection."

Jake: "Yeah there has to be."
