32 Accident and Information (1/2)

”Ah, hello,” Lachlan was a bit stunned by Adam's(J) odd appearance but an elegant voice.

The leader quickly walked up to Lachlan and grabbed his hands, ”Hello there!” he shouted, ”What business do you have in Mount Barker to most likely travel a far distance”.

”We have family here, wanted to meet them,” Lachlan said.

”Ohh, and what might their names be?” Adam(J) asked.

”Darius Wilson,” Lachlan stated.

Adam(J) quickly froze up, ”Uhh, w-well this is an awkward situation”.

Chloe already predicted what happened and fell to her knees crying. Adam(W) and Jack ran to her side, hugging her and trying to provide some comfort.

”What happened?” Lachlan asked in a harsh voice.

”Not long ago the rescue team went to Victor Harbour, in hopes of finding stragglers. Little did we know we came unprepared, very unprepared. Water shot from the ocean, destroying a few helicopters, luckily the pilots noticed the situation and distanced themselves from the water. Unfortunately, that was a trap. They close the gap between the helicopters and the trees and hills and before they realised it they had been webbed by spiders. Then a bird flew above and spew fire, completely melting everyone in its radius, nothing was left”.

Lachlan was both sad and confused. He was sad about losing his ”Father”, but also confused about the beasts setting up a trap, one that was undetectable by the military.

However, there wasn't only that bit of information that scared him, there was also the bird. Although his finally seen some elemental beast now, none of which had the power the completely melt helicopters.

But when thinking about it, there may be one beast of such strength, one of legends and myths, a Phoenix. A bird that has flames similar to the sun, that can scorch everything in its path, stopping at nothing.

Lachlan shivered at the thought. Although he had the three Rocs which could summon lightning. This was a Phoenix that breathed fire, it might not need any time to gather the strength, it may just come naturally.

And should this Phoenix be an elder beast, it may have an even more powerful ability, one that could completely annihilate everything.

”Indeed, I thought you would be slightly shocked. That's also the reason as to why everyone is gathered at the school, although we may be able to take back Mount Barker, who knows what could attack us after that,” Adam(J) explained.

”Isn't that making it easier to kill everyone, after all, you just said that there was a bird capable of spewing fire that melted a helicopter. If that bird appears here and spews fire at the school it will melt everyone here,” Alfredo said.

”Ah, now you are not wrong. However, we currently do not have the forces to protect everyone should we spread out. Now, we do however spread everyone across the school grounds, some in classrooms and some in tents,” Adam(J) explained.

”What if we help you take back Mount Barker?” Alfredo asked.

”Well that would be wonderful, but as I just said we don't have the necessary forces to protect all of Mount Barker, just a portion of it,” Adam(J) explained.

”Where's that portion?” Lachlan asked.
