More Troubles on the Horizon

Events from the past played out in my mind...which didn't help my current state. I felt myself ready to run wild. I couldn't control the ice as it engulfed the tower bit by bit.

"RAXI, STOP. WHOEVER IT WAS THAT YOU SAW, I DON'T CARE BUT PLEASE JUST STOP AND CALM DOWN THEN WE CAN TALK!!"

These words were nothing more than an echo in the far reaches of my mind...who was calling for me?

---Waves....waves that made me sick to my stomach. The boat...rocking violently back and forth. My head ached...I had been struck and knocked unconscious...by someone who'd felt exactly like a nobody.

"VINCENT!!" I screamed holding the rail desperately. Thunder boomed, and the sky was lit with the flare of occasional lightning strikes. He was gone...I was left alone on this ship...in the middle of the storming ocean. It was deserted. Completely and utterly deserted.

Mustering my strength, I formed a portal and returned to the place Vincent and I had called home. I waited for him to return...first days...then months...until it turned to years...he was gone. Gone...never to return....-----

"HOW CAN THAT BE?!" I screamed out...then sensing an attack I turned my attention to counter it. Forming a shield of ice, it was hit with what could only be described as a "ball of air". I looked up at my attacker...eyes filled with rage. I felt the marks begin to appear on my face.

"RAXI!" A familiar voice called out. Lexian? He'd felt my energy... I took a breath and returned to my senses. The ice retracted on my command...and I stood there...somewhat stunned.

Kyxsha and Ximh came down to our level as Lexian approached me. He had a very serious look on his face...Was he angry at me...or had something happened?? Suddenly a note fell from above me...it almost blew directly into my hands....

It Read...

Your friend is in danger...come here quickly to retrieve her...but be discreet. Recklessness will put you all in danger...

A map followed.

"What is this about?" I asked.

"I came to tell you about that..." Lexian began...
