Summary: There have been strange happenings in Weyard. New monsters are appearing, people are seeing the dead walk, earthquakes. Then that boy appears. He says he's from a place called San Miguel (where in Weyard is that?) and he seems to be using ... different psynergy from what everyone else is using.

Ah, the dreaded mass meeting of people has arrived! At least I did a little bit of damage control...

"What's on your mind?"
"Hmm?" Isaac and Piers were sitting mostly in silence on the riverbank, in the shade of a tree. They were watching the sky at it changed to cooler colours, showing that dusk was fast approaching.
"Is there something wrong?" Piers clarified.
Isaac tilted his head in thought, mulling it over. "Yes. The new monsters but they're bothering everyone else." Isaac knew what Piers was asking but he wasn't sure if he wanted to answer it. If he did answer, would Piers agree with him or would he want to stay in Vale to protect its people?
Piers prodded a little further. "So it's something more specific?"
"Hmm," Isaac confirmed, nodding his head. "I'm thinking of leaving Vale for a while," he said finally. He knew that Piers wanted to go home and saying that would be like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey. It would give a nice excuse why he wanted to leave and not seem rude about it as Isaac was the one to say that he was leaving first. Piers had also not had that much peace from coming to Vale as he was frequently called to see the village elders because of his knowledge, experience and older years. Isaac wanting to leave would give him a chance at peace for a while.
Piers didn't answer straight away. Isaac waited, listening to the river in front of them and the wind above. "Where do you think you'll go?" he asked, brushing the stray strands of his hair back behind his ears before they blew into his face.
Isaac shrugged, not looking at him. "I promised a few people that I would see them again if I could. After that," -a small pause- "I guess it would all depend on how I was feeling." So many people he had said that he'd see when he had the chance to, yet he hadn't. He had been too busy getting home as fast as possible to see if there was anything left after the rising of the Golden Sun. He had seen that everything was fine, the original Vale was gone but no-one was hurt. It had been slowly rebuilt but then the monsters appeared, again halting him from doing what he wanted.
"I see." The wind was becoming more boisterous the longer they sat there and while Isaac's hair wasn't that much trouble, Piers started to go everywhere.
"Do you think you'll want to come?" Isaac asked, fully knowing what Piers' response would be.
Piers lowered his eyes, thinking the question over. "I would like more time."
Nodding, Isaac said, "I understand. I'm not pressuring you to come; you can stay if you want."
"Thank you, but with the growing number of monsters in the area..." Piers trailed off, not needing to finish his sentence.
"I know. That's why I'm not sure about leaving yet either."
"Ah."

Jenna glanced at the chair. Garet was still there, sleeping off the effects of the poison. She wasn't sure how he was able to sleep when he was sitting in that position and she was sure he was going to feel it when he woke up. Jenna shrugged - if he wanted to sleep like than then she wasn't going to stop him.She looked back at the world map spread out on the table and moved the candle so that she could see it better.
"He didn't have anything with him apart from what he's wearing and he didn't look like he'd been travelling for long," she said softly to herself, repeating Ivan's words. "So that means he's probably from somewhere close by. Vault, Lunpa, Kalay, Bilibin -I suppose- and maybe Tolbi," she said, pointing to each one as she said their names.
"It can't be Vault or Kalay," Ivan reasoned. "I've been in each of them for some time and I've never seen him before."
Jenna nodded to show that she had heard him, her attention still on the map in front of her. "Right, so that leaves Lunpa, Tolbi and Bilibin. How are we going to find out where he's from?"
Ivan shrugged. "We could do what Tolbi's guardsmen did when they were looking for Babi: ask with a picture. I don't think there is any other way."
"Do you think you would use Mind Read on Django?" Jenna asked curiously, glancing up to look Ivan in the eyes.
"No," he replied, shaking his head. "I can only read surface thoughts - I can't delve deeper than that. If he believes he's from this 'San Miguel', that's all I'll see," he explained
"Oh." She sighed in disappointment. "Lunpa, Bilibin and Tolbi. This is going to take a while..." Her voice was tinged with dismay at the task in front of her.
"I know," Ivan agreed, reflecting her tone. "It would be faster is we did this in groups and probably at the same time."
Jenna nodded. She thought about the people who was likely to not be able to help for various reasons. "Garet probably shouldn't come in case the poison is still affecting him," she said, quickly sending a fleeting look over her shoulder to see if he was still sleeping, unable to hear her comment - he was.
"Piers might have been asked to do something for the elders," Ivan added.
"And Mia, I think, has another patient here," Jenna finished. "So, who does that leave us with?"
"Me, you, Isaac, Felix, and Sheba," Ivan listed off after a brief pause.
"Hmm," Jenna hummed. "That means someone's going to be asking people by themselves." Not that that was a problem, but it would just be better if there was someone there for 'back-up' if they needed it.
"Well, we aren't completely sure about Piers," Ivan argued.
"That's true," Jenna admitted. The meeting that he had been called to should have already finished by then, it was just if he had been asked to do something for them afterwards that was the thing. "We're going to have to find him and the others to see if they're busy and can help us."
Ivan rolled up the map but left it on the table, making sure that it wasn't too close to the candle incase it caught fire. "I'll go find Piers and then see who else I can find."
"Right. I'll meet you back here." They both headed for the door.
:-:-:
"Sheba?" Sheba looked up, and saw that Felix was walking towards her. "What's bothering you?"
"Hi Felix," she said, smiling tiredly up at him. "It's nothing really. Have you met that boy that Ivan found?" she asked when he had stopped by her side.
"Django?" Felix asked for conformation. Sheba nodded. "I've seen him but he was asleep then."
"Oh."
Felix looked closely at her after her strange response. "Oh? You've talked to him?" he asked, wondering how she could have done that when he should have still been in bed, asleep.
Sheba nodded again. "A little while ago. He'd left Mia's house without her knowing so I followed him to make sure that he didn't hurt himself again."
"You did?" Felix looked around but couldn't see Django anywhere. "I don't see him."
"I stopped following him after I talked to him," Sheba explained. "Some things that he said..." She trailed off, shaking her head. "They didn't make any sense. But, they did at the same time. But that would also mean..." she trailed off again and didn't say anything else.
Felix waited for a moment to go by before he spoke up. "Sheba, unlike you, I'm not a Jupiter Adept; I can't read minds so for to know what you're thinking, you're going to have to tell me out loud," he joked lightly.
Sheba blinked upon hearing the words. "Sorry about that," she said, cheek colouring slightly.
"It's alright," Felix said, waving the apology away. "So what were you thinking about?"
"We've travelled all over Weyard haven't we?"
"Yees."
"We've seen all that there is to see?"
"Yes," Felix answered again, wondering where the questions were leading.
"We know what is real and what is still myth and legend?"
"Yes. Sheba, why are you asking me this?" Felix asked, the questions piquing his curiosity.
"Because, because Django thinks that vampires really exist. The way that he said it, it was like he had faced one before. When I said that I'd never heard of vampires or immortals he was stunned and that was about the time he left," she said in a rush.
"The only immortal I can think of is the Wise One," Felix mused. "And maybe the guardians of the stronger summon stones. You shouldn't worry about what he said," he said, directing the last sentence to Sheba.
Sheba looked at him in surprise. "Why not?"
"Mia suspects that he'd hit his head at some point and that muddled up a few things up here," he said, tapping his temple. "He apparently said that he was from 'San Miguel'."
"So what he said-" Sheba started doubtfully.
"Are as you originally thought: they're not true. He believes that they're real but they're not."
"Does he know that?" Felix saw the concern for him she had from the set of her brow and the small frown that formed.
He looked at her. "He thinks that what he's said is true, why would he think otherwise?"
"But..." Sheba sighed resignedly. "Never mind." She started to pick herself up and Felix offered his hand to help. She took it and was standing when they heard someone calling them.
"Ah, found someone." Felix and Sheba turned their heads to see Jenna making her way closer to them. "Are you two busy?"
They shook their heads.
"Good. I need your help with something, do you want to help?"
:-:-:
"I'm surprised you haven't asked me about what I was summoned for," Piers commented, playing with a blade of grass in his hands.
Isaac shrugged, having a little difficulty as he was leaning on his hands. "The elders called for your specifically. If it was something that the rest of us were supposed to know about they would have asked for us to be there at the same time."
"I suppose that is a fair point." There was a sudden gust of wind that snatched the grass from Piers' hand. He made no move to take another.
They sat in silence for a small while, enjoying one another's company before they heard running footsteps going towards them. Looking up, they both saw that it was Ivan.
"Good, I found you," he said in relief, slowing down. "Piers, did the elders ask you to do something?"
Piers shook his head. "Not something that I couldn't do later. Why do you ask?"
Ivan smiled. "Okay. Jenna and I are trying to find out where Django's -the boy that I found- hometown is. He doesn't know so Jenna decided that we'd try to find it." He paused to catch his breath. "We narrowed it down to Lunpa, Bilibin and Tolbi. Isaac, can you help as well?" he asked, turning towards him.
He nodded.
"Thanks. Okay, we need to go to Mia's house to see if Jenna's found the others."
:-:-:
"Do you know who would be going with who?" Sheba asked as she flattened the map on the table, making sure she didn't knock the candle over accidently.
Jenna shook her head and placed her hands on the table. "No, but I know who I don't want paired with each other if Piers is able to come."
Sheba grinned upon hearing the sentence. "Isaac and Felix."
Felix started at the mention of his name. "Me? Why?"
Jenna rolled her eyes. "Because, you and Isaac don't normally talk a lot to strangers and let other people do the talking for you. On this," she said, tapping the map, "you're going to have to talk to people - just showing a picture of Django won't be helpful."
Her brother frowned at her. "If I show a picture of him it should be obvious that I'm looking to see if that person recognises him."
"Not really," Sheba interrupted. "You could be showing it because you're trying to find him." A small pause. "Or that he's your brother and you like showing his picture to strangers."
"And looking intimidating won't help either," Jenna chimed in.
"Okay, okay, we don't talk much, I get it now," Felix said exasperatedly. "You can stop with the teasing now."
Just then the front door openned to reveal Ivan, Piers and Isaac.
"Is that everyone here?" Ivan asked as he entered. "I saw Mia and she said that she wouldn't be able to come."
"That's everyone then," Jenna said. Garet had been moved to the spare room incase the others woke him. "We'll be in three groups of two. We aren't sure who goes with who but if we're going to be asking people, Isaac and Felix shouldn't be paired with each other."
The statement was met with varying degrees of agreement with an additional voice protesting.
"I'll go with Jenna," Felix volunteered amongst the semi-quiet. "You said that I'd be intimidating but someone has to stop you pressing people too hard," he said, ruffling her hair.
Jenna huffed and tried to bat his hand away in response.
"So..." The remaining four glanced at each other. "How do we decided the rest of the pairs?"
"Flipping a coin isn't going to help," Ivan commented.
"I believe I can help," Piers said quietly. "As Jenna said, she didn't want the quiet people being paired together and I sometimes see myself as that when compared to the rest of you. This means that Isaac and I shouldn't be together. Ivan," he said, looking towards him, "now you can flip a coin to see if you will be with me or Isaac."
"That works," Ivan mumbled as he dug into his tunic to find a coin. "Okay, so, heads mean I go with Isaac and tails means I go with Piers." He flipped the coin and let it fall to the ground. It hit the ground with a 'thunk'. "Tails. Looks like I'm with you Piers," he said as he picked the coin up from the floor.
"And I'm with you," Sheba said to Isaac.
He nodded, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "I know."
"Now that we have that sorted out, does anyone have any preferences to go to either Lunpa, Bilibin or Tolbi?" Jenna asked, looking at each of them in turn.
Isaac spoke up. "I want to go to Tolbi, if that's alright with you Sheba."
She shrugged non-committedly. "It doesn't make a difference to me."
"I probably shouldn't go to Lunpa because people might recognise me from the time that Master Hammet was rescued," Ivan said.
"Well," Jenna started, "me and Felix weren't with you when that happened so we'll go there."
"Which leaves Bilibin for us," Piers said.
"We should start in the morning and not right away," Felix mused. He continued before Jenna could protest. "The sun is setting and people will be heading for home now. They won't like being disturbed in their own homes. Not to mention, do we have a picture of Django to show?"
A small pause. "I thought I might have forgotten something," Jenna muttered. She then sighed. "I guess so. We'll start in the morning then after I've found someone to draw Django."
The others moved to go to the door, all of them saying goodnight to one another.
The door closed. There was no one there to see the candle on the table flicker with a red and black flame before turning back to orange.
