Jamaa Academy: The Return (Book Two)

Chapter 5

I've Sean The Future

"So when did this all start?" Swift asked Feather, gesturing to her. Feather spun around then floated beside Swift.

"Well, it's a long story." Feather smiled, she looked up thoughtfully. "Me and my brother lived with our friend, Sean in our hideout, that we're leading you to. We've stayed with him for years now, almost my whole life actually, what I know is that brother was 10 when he and I first stayed here. Sean's a good friend, quiet at first and kinda secretive, but when you get to know him he's a big softie." She added, chuckling.

"About my wings, it was one time I was playing at a cliff as a little pup, I was with big brother while Sean was busy. I chased a butterfly and didn't realize quickly that I was gonna fall, when I did I was already plummeting down. It was high and my heart was beating so fast, I looked up helplessly at my brother who was peering down. Then, a bright light overcame me, I didn't know what it was but I felt light as air, and poof! My two wings appeared and I flapped them to safety." Feather continued, "As for my powers, I don't know how I got them, they just started a few days after my wings appeared."

"Interesting." Jake murmured thoughtfully. "Do you know about the Gems Of Magic?"

"Oh, those things?" Feather asked, "A little bit, all I know is that they control the flow of the Elements." She said.

"That's correct." Swift replied. "Have you ever seen one?"

"No." Feather frowned, "Should I?"

Now they were confused. "So there wasn't any Air Magic Gem that appeared?" Kyle asked in disbelief. Silver and Feather looked at each other, then shook their heads. "Well then.." Kyle trailed.

"I guess it takes time for a Gem to form, especially since Air Magic is practically new." Izzy suggested, "Weren't we thought that the Gems didn't appear until after a long time before?"

The others looked at her blankly.

"Fine, just me then." Izzy huffed silently, her ears folding back as she walked.

"Anyways, that's alright." Jake said to Feather, "Actually we have them."

"Really!?" Feather asked in surprise and excitement. The group nodded, "Um, can I see them?" She asked sheepishly.

"Sure, but not here, there could be anyone looking at it." Hunter said, Feather pouted, but nodded.

"We're almost to our hideout anyway." Feather said, being cheery once again.

Later...

"We're here!" Feather announced.

They arrived at a large mountain, with moss, vines and plants everywhere on it, the mountain was dark gray, and it was on the verge of crumbling apart due to cracks around it. Feather looked at the mountain then flew to the right, she revealed a secret button disguised as a rock when her paw lit up and it was revealed. She pushed it, then after a few moments an opening appeared as a square shaped piece of the mountain shifted up, showing a pathway inside.

"Secret hideout, secret entrance." Feather whispered to us with a grin, Silver chuckled. "Come on!" She said, flying quickly inside. They all followed, Silver pressed another button and the light disappeared as the rock shifted back down, everyone lit up their way with their magic, auras of different colors making their paws glow. Feather could be seen excitedly flying in circles as she lead the way, after a while of turning she suddenly said, "Stop!"

Swift, who's in front stopped, Jake bumped into her, then Izzy, Hunter, Kyle, Laika then Silver. They groaned in slight pain. Feather smiled sheepishly. She pulled a lever, and another opening appeared, this time to a well lit room with furniture in it. "Here we are! Make yourselves at home. Sean is busy right now so he won't mind." Feather smiled then flew inside.
