watching him. He turned and scanned the surroundings, but besides the leaves that danced in the wind, there was no movement. I must be going crazy. He closed the door and stepped into the warm cottage.
    They sat on the old chairs that K’ran had built eons ago. He then served them each a mug of lime tea. A warm fire blazed in the fireplace.
    “So how did you first mission go?” K’ran asked, taking a sip out of his mug. “I want to know everything.”
    Falcon ran his hand through his hair, not really sure where to begin. He decided to start from the beginning and go from there. He told him how his best friend, Lao, had turned on him and joined the Suteckh Empire. How the Ghost Knight had saved them from a Suteckh ambush. How the monster, Shal-Volcseck, had been hunting Faith for years, and he told him about the upcoming attack of the Suteckh on all the capital cities of Va’siel.
    “This is dire news,” said K’ran. “We must take swift action.”
    “Yes,” said Falcon. “The Ghost Knight said the same thing. I’m going to gain an audience with the emperor and tell him what the Suteckh are plotting. I’m sure once he sees they’re planning an invasion of every capital city of Va’siel, he’ll mobilize his army.”
    “That’s not what I’m referring to, Falcon. You have a much bigger problem here than the Suteckh. Why Volcseck seeks to acquire an emblem of each element remains a mystery, but we can rest assured that whatever his plans are, they’re not good. From what you told me, I gather that Volcseck only needs a few more elemental emblems to complete his collection. A holy emblem is one of those emblems.” K’ran stared at the golden-brown haired girl with the sparkling white emblem on her glove. “He need Faith’s emblem. And to acquire it he must kill her.”

CHAPTER 2
     
    “So what do you suppose we do, Master K’ran?” Falcon asked. “The last time I engaged Shal Volcseck, he defeated me without lifting a finger, and he can sense Faith’s holy energy; it’s only a matter of time before he finds her.”
    “Tell me, Faith,” asked K’ran. “How have you managed to hide from Volcseck all this time?”
    “My father has managed to suppress my energy with his mind wielding, but my power has grown to the point where he can no longer suppress it. That is why I’m here. My father was hoping that a mind wielder of Grandmaster Zoen’s caliber would be able to help.”
    K’ran bobbed his head. “A sound plan. Zoen is the strongest mind wielder I’ve ever known.”
    Faith and K’ran continued to speak as Aya played with the single leaf floating above her tea. She couldn’t suppress a strange sensation that surged through her. She’d been so nervous about getting to know the man who had practically raised Falcon, and he had barely acknowledged her presence. For a second she mused that perhaps it was jealousy she was feeling, but she shoved it aside. Faith had been a great friend, and she had never been the jealous type.
    She yawned as she set the mug down.
    “Are you tired?” K’ran asked.
    “Yes. A little. Is there a place I can retire for the night?”
    K’ran pointed toward a small hallway at the end of the cabin. “Go down the hallway and turn to the left. There’s a room there I use for the rare times I get visitors. You and Faith can share it tonight.”
    “Thank you, sir.” She excused herself from Faith and Falcon.
    Like the rest of the cabin, the room was rather simple. Two small beds were placed at the end of each side. A small painting of the sea hung between the beds. By each of the beds stood an old looking cabinet with a wax-dripped candle on top.
    Aya threw herself on one of the beds. The soft cushion beckoned her eyes shut. Before she even realized it, she was fast asleep.
    Aya was vaguely aware she was in a dream. She saw herself ten years back, running through a field of long grass. Her younger sister followed behind her.
    “I hide and you wait here. Got
