It was never this silent. None of them had the courage to go first.
“Um… guys.” said Wizzard braking the silence.
“What?” Aya and Zanbato said.
“Um…I… um… don’t know how to say this, but I… um… what I mean is… um… I know that we all have powers.” Wizzard said so quickly that they almost didn’t catch it. “Well… is it true? I have a power too if it helps.”
“Yeah. Its true.” Said Aya, “I found out that I can control water. What about you Wizzard? What can you control?” asked Aya.
“Well…I can control earth bound spirits. You know like on that show Ghost Whisper. He Zman what power do you have? A motor mouth, No wait that my sister.” Said Wizzard.
“Ha ha ha. Not funny. Well see… when you guys found me I was talking to my past life and I can control the wind.” Replied Zanbato.
“That’s awesome!” said Wizzard. “That’s also funny. I had talked to my past life a well. He wrote a letter to us saying that we need to find their rings and break the enchantment on Gemini to get out of here. Have you guys found a book about your past lifes?” ask Wizzard.
“Yeah.” Both Aya and Zanbato said.
“Well we need to place them into a straight line. I’m thinking that I goes Zman, me, then you Aya.” Replied Wizzard. He wanted to get out of here and to do that they needed to get the rings.
Aya took her book out and Zanbato picked his up. Zanbato placed his book fist, followed by Wizzard, and then Aya. A flash of white purple and blue light that mixed so that in looked like the aurora borealis (northern lights). Then a beam shot out of each book towards the sky. Rising like an invisible force was pushing it up was a ring. One was a diamond of radiant color and purity, another was an amethyst of deep purple, and the last one was of a sapphire of a deep royal blue. They went to go and reach for the rings, but they flew right onto their ring finger.
“What the hell!?” they all yelled. They weren’t sure what was going on, but all that they knew was that they were feeling a wonderful sensation. Then the light just disappeared.
“What in the world was that about?” asked Zanbato.
“I don’t know. Did you guys get any instructions from you past lives?” Wizzard asked turning his head to look at both of them.
“Well I guess that the hooded figure that I saw was my pas life. He said for use to have our friendship stay strong. He said that it was the ultimate key. For what I don’t know.” Replied Zanbato looking like he was trying to recall the event that happened.
“What about you Aya?” asked Wizzard hope that she had fond a way out.
“Oh yeah.” Aya went to reach into her pocket and took out the crystal pendent. “Zanbato take this and put it on.” She handed the pendent to him.
“What for?” questioned Zanbato.
“One step at a time.” Replied Aya. Zanbato took the crystal pendent and put it on. Then Aya said “now we read our incantations at the same time.”
“That’s it?” asked Wizzard confused he couldn’t believe it was that simple to read the incantations at the same time.
“Yep!” replied Aya cheerfully. It seemed that enough sugar came back to get her happier that what she had been.
They said their incantations. Then a swirling vortex of water, spirits and wind circles and rampaged. It was sucked in within a blink of an eye. Then a cone with a mixture of red and yellow light appeared. It was Pyro and Speed.
“Umm…Aya is this supposed to show who else will have powers?” asked Wizzard shocked to see that his friends were dusted to have powers also.
“Yeah. That’s what Mizu, my past life, said.” Replied Aya.
Then the cone vanished into the floor.
“What do we do now?” asked Zanbato.
“I once read that one out of 5,250 people can astro-project.” Said Wizzard happy that he might have found away out.
“Astropro-what?” they both yelled. They couldn’t believe what he said.
“Astro-project. It’s were someone can project themselves some were else. Like Aya could project herself too the surface from here, but she’ll be in a sleep like state. I think there might be a book on it some were in here.” Said Wizzard in a thinking tone.
“That could take forever!” replied Zanbato in a tone that said that he wasn’t going to help look.
“What other ideas do you have Zman?” snapped Wizzard getting aggravated from being down in the city too long. “What do you think we should do Aya?” asked Wizzard. “Aya?” both Wizzard and Zanbato turned around. Aya was standing up, but looked like sleeping.
‘She must have astro-projected.’ Thought Wizzard.
They laid her down and waited for her to awake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aya could not believe it. She had astro-… what ever Wizzard said it was. She was outside in front of Pyro’s house. She heard splashing and screaming. She ran to his backyard. He was in the pool with Billy (Billy is a girl) and Treeflower.
“Pyro!” yelled Aya. Pyro turned around, as did Billy and Treeflower.
“Aya. I thought that your parents wouldn’t let you come over?”
“Long story. I need your help.”
“With what?”
“I’ll tell you later. Just come on there is no tome to waste.”
“Ok. I need to change.”
“Hurry we need to get Speed also.”
“Why?”
“Enough with the questions.” Snapped Aya. She was getting impatient they need to hurry.
Pyro hurried.
“Were coming too!” said Billy.
“NO YOUR NOT!!” snapped Aya now on the bridge of becoming a volcano head.
“You can’t force us to stay!” said Treeflower.
“Your not coming.” Replied Aya angrily.
“You and what army?” snapped Billy.
“Fine. But don’t get into the way.” Said Aya giving in. Aya, Billy, and Treeflower were friend that all had one thin gin common that always got on each other’s nerve. They were stubborn. Yet they always got over it.
“Ok. Let’s go.” Said Pyro.
“One minute me and Treeflower need to get we’re going to my house. We’ll meet you at speeds in ten.” Said Billy.
“Ok. Aya hop on my (bike) pegs.” Replied Pyro.
“Ok.” Aya said. She was frightened. She didn’t know what to do. She took a deep breath and focused on being a full body. Imagining that she was not astro-projecting. She stepped on the pegs. To her surprised she didn’t fall of or go through them. “We need to hurry.”
“I’ll do the best I can.” Said Pyro.
They arrived at Speed’s house. Luckily he was on his front porch reading.
“Hey guys!” said Speed.
“Speed get you bike and back a backpack with water and food. We need to hurry.” Said Aya.
“How much food? What’s the hurry? Its not like it’s the end of the world.” Said Speed.
“Just hurry.” Said Aya worried. “Pyro what time is it? I don’t have my phone with me.”
“Five after one. Why?” said Pyro.
Aya couldn’t believe it. How could this be? They were down in the city for two hours. How could it be that it was 1:05.
“Just wondering. We need to hurry.” Speed walked out of the house just as Billy and Treeflower rode up.
“Aya I packed enough food for all of us plus two more. That enough?” asked Speed.
“Yeah.” That was exactly enough. They rode off with Aya and Pyro in front followed by Billy and Treeflower, then finally Speed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They arrived at the place were Aya, Wizzard, and Zanbato found the entrance.
“Follow me!” Aya yelled. She ran as fast as she could.
“Aya wait up!” they all yelled. Aya stooped. She was past the entrance to the tunnel that she, Zanbato, and Wizzard fell in.
“What is it?” asked Treeflower.
“Come over her.” said Aya. They came forward. They all fell through the tunnel. She ran after they so that they wouldn’t be mad at her.
They all dusted themselves off.
“Aya did you know that, that was there?” asked Speed.
“Yeah. You see, me, Zanbato, and Wizzard are in this under ground city.” Said Aya hoping that they wouldn’t be confused of how she could be in two places at once, because it would take to long to explain.
“Whoa…whoa…whoa… wait a minute. How can you be here and there?” asked Pyro confused.
Aya know something like this would happen. “Just go that way,” She pointed to the way to get to the underground city, “and there you will find us in the largest building. It looks like its a city hall and a very large library.” With saying that, she vanished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What am I doing on the floor?” yelled Aya.
“You’re a wake!!” yelled Wizzard and Zanbato happily. They ran over to her and gave her a hug. Aya was very freaked out. This had never happened before unless they ate a pound of sugar straight.
