Ryzom

After talking to Snyo I head to the garden.

The flutes are made from a extremely rare wood that can only be found a sacred area of the Old Lands. Today the sarced area is no longer under homin control in fact not even the Kittin can get to it. When the Kittin came to the surface of Atys the Elders closed the gateways to the Sacred Lands so not even the Kittin could distrube the lands.

My sister's and my flutes are made from Twilight Vail wood; a magical wood used to create magical objects. For some reason it couldn't be used in weapons but the Crimson Blood Allince woundn't allow anyone to use the wood for battles. The Crimson Blood Allince were one of the many protectors of the Sacred Lands and it's said that Jen'Mod's mother is a Crimson Blood.

When the protectors recieved word of the Kittin they some wasn't right so they placed a magical shield around their land and sealed the every way in. They gathered the last of the material they had harvested and gave it to the Kami and the Karavan and told them to seal them away till it was needed.

So when my parents wed they were given two mystical flutes, flutes that never age, it was said that these flutes have magical proporties. It's rather amazing that our flutes are this old and still look like new. These flutes are the greatest reminders of our parents; tho they are our spirit beasts.

I as walked through the garden I found Aqua was playing her flute on a tree root that stuck out of ground a foot or two then went back into the ground making an arch. The moonlight showed through the great leaves of the tree, the moonlight sparklied on and all around the root Aqua was on.

I climbed up next to my sister and pulled out my flute as well. We began to a sweet memlody that traveled all over Atys.

"May this song give you strength Red and all of Atys." Aqua and I said together as the moonlight sparklied over us.

//SenAqua and Windra

As I played my flute I began to remember the first time I meet Jena. It was on a winter evening the sands were slightly cold and the winds were a tiny bit bit cold just enough for snowflakes to travel.

I sat on the hill gazing at the town which was slowly growing brighter as night fell over the lakelands. I loved watching the town light up from the hill top it was so magical. After a while a shadow appeared next to me, it really didn't may adttion to who it was I just knew it was a women.

"Aren't you cold?" The shadow asked in a sweet voice.

I just shook my head.

"A lovely town isn't it?" The voice asked.

"Aye I love watching it light up." I replied with a smile.

After that we just sat there and gazed into the horizon.

"What do you think of the Karavan and the Kami?" It asked.

"I don't understand them, what are they anyway?" I asked the being it seemed to be wise.

"The Kami are beings of Atys that teach homins the power of Atys and about Ma-Duk the grand Atys spirit. The Karavan are the loyal followers and teachs of Jena the Goddess of Atys." The shadow explained.

"Can Atys really have two grand beings?" I asked.

"There are many gods, like the Dark Prince but there is more then Atys in this grand universe." The shadow told me.

"I don't understand." I said confused.

"It's ok Windra just remember that no matter what god or goddess you follow one of us will always be with you if you should ever fall or take the wrong path in life. Goodbye Windra Wind Guardian life will be tough but it will be grand in the end, till we meet agaim." The shadow said then I felt a kiss on my right cheek.

"Jena?" I asked surpised as I turned to see that the shadow was gone but the grass was bent in the form of a women.

"Huh." I said as I stood up and headed home.

"Now that I look back I know it was you Jena." I thought to myself as I contuined to play my flute as did SenAqua.

//Windra and SenAqua

"r....re......red....RED! can you hear me Red?" I hear a voice saying as I sit up...

"Oh Syno." I say..."What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I came to get you Red... I know about your incounter with Jaz" Syno says calmly.

"Oh,Syno I am ready to go back to the others." I say as I stand up.

"I thought you would be." Syno replies. "So you are ok?" He asks.

"Yes Syno... I will be fine I have to hold on to what I have and not morne about what I have lost." I tell Syno

"You are learning well Red." Syno says.

"I miss seeing Aqua anyway." I say with a slight laugh..and blushing a bit.

"Hmm she reminds you of Jaz no?"Syno says.

"Alittle I guess... But Aqua is Aqua ... she is her own person." I say.

"Good... you are ready Red.... Lets go." Syno says as he prepares to port us..."Its time for you to learn a bit more about your past..." he says as we poof away...

I open my eyes.... "Wow what is this place?" I ask...

"We are inside one of the grand sacred temples of old times." Syno replies..."Each Guardian had a place in which they stayed and stored there possessions,this one was the fighter guardians."He pauses for a second.... "It was Fei's...This was also a base of operations for the fighter guardian...and...his troops."

"What? troops?" I ask

"Yes... the fighter guardian had a mass army in which he controlled... at one point the fighter guardian... the one you know as Fei ... was evil... He lost all will to protect homins and caused many deaths." Syno says as we walk into a large room with a large throne like chair in it ... it was all covered in vines and moss...

"So... You are afraid I may do the same?" I ask amazed.

"Well... We believed there was a chance... and there still is..." He says as he looks me in the eyes.

"What!?! No I would have to fight Aqua ... no way." I say.

"Red... What if Aqua were to die?" Syno asks.

"WHAT! I would die trying to save her then!" I shout.

"That is what Fei said... But when the time came and he lost the one he cared most for he lost it... He was angry that she could not be saved...He destroyed much of atys... With his army... Of homins and kitin..."
Syno says as he looks at a painting on the wall near us.

"You ... you mean ... The Dark ones? the kitin lords... they were started by...Fei?" I ask stunned...

"Yes... By the spirit that rest withing you." Syno says as he walks up to the painting...

"I ... I can't believe it..." I say completely stunned...

Syno points at the painting... "You see... In this painting it shows the events of that time..."

"How was he stopped?"I ask.

"One by one the guardians fell... None of them could stop Fei and the dark ones on there massive rampage... The last to face the fighter Guardian was ... the wind guardian,Le'Sindo...At Silan... The battle was fierce and allot of area was destroyed in the battle... But in the end... Fei was going to win... But... Jena and Ma-duk gave power to to the Le'Sindo at the last moment and he was able to defeat the Fei."Syno says.

"Silan? the ruins?"I ask.

"Yes the ruins of Silan was the place which the final battle took place."

"Well what happened next?"I ask.

"After the Fei was defeated,he fell to his knees and before his final breath apologized for what he had done... tears flowed from his eyes... and he used every ounce of power left in him to destroy what was left of his armies... but with it he destroyed all of Silan aswell... Which is when the four islands were made by Ma-duk and Jena to protect the survivers... And now ... the homins have discovered what is left...the Ruins of Silan..."

"wow...So ..Syno... Do you think I will betray you and the others?" I ask.

"Only time will truly tell Red... But I think you are different from how Fei was...There is no telling... We can only wait and see." Syno says as he steps away from the painting..."Go look around Red... You may use this to return to the temple when you are Ready."He says as he hands me a teleporter pact...

I don't remember much of the night just that Aqua and I fell asleep while playing our flutes, but I did sense Red return but he had a strange aura to him. After thinking bout it for a bit I decided to see Syno and the others.

"Windra what's wrong you seem worried?" Ra'oki asked as I enter the meeting hall.

"Where's Snyo?" I growled.

"He's not here why?" She asked.

"What did he tell Red?" I asked her,

"I don't know I know he took him to La'Beka's temple." She replied.

"He took him to La’Born’So and Mo’Nika’Can temple why?" I snapped.

'Well they were the first fighter guardians and ohh..." She began to say then stopped.

"What did that Kami tell him?!" I growled.

"Windra I'm sorry I don't know but I do know what happnened and it couldn't be helped." She explained.

"He lost La’Born’So and went mad, the first La'Beka was a mad man." I said as I shook my head.

"Wait why don't you call him Mo’Nika’Can?" She asked.

"Because La'Beka was the last fighter guardian, but he never went mad." I told her.

"At least they are together forever now." Ra'oki said in a warm voice.

Yeah......The boy!" I snapped and ran to Ra'oki and grabbed her hand.

"Teleport me to Sa'Binga's temple, that Zorai child is Sa'Binga." I yelled.

"Windra?" Jen'Mode, Le'Conda, and Cin'Lone asked as they enter the meeting hall.

"Quick get over here I think Sa'Binga has returned." I said.

They quickly ran over to us and grabbed on as they teleported to his temple.

The temple was cold and queit from the snow outside, vines, moss and plants of all kinds covered the floor and walls; just like Sa'Binga left it.

We walked around the temple for awhile then as he came to Sa'Binga's and his wifes bedroom we heard a whimper. I switched my goggle and scanned the room, in the far right corner was a guardains aura but it was fading in and out.

"We have to hurry his aura is fading he's going to die of the cold if he stays here." I said as I opened the door.

The room was very dark the windows were covered with a thick frost keeping the moon light out.

"Here." Cin'Lone said as she cast a spell that lit all the candles and torches.

"Windra are you sure?" Le'Conda asked her weapons at the ready.

"yes." I replied as I walked up to the grand bed; everything in the room was untouched.

"Kid it's ok we won't hurt you." I said in a wam voice as I walked to where he was.

"Go away!" He boomed as the floor turned to a wave and slammed me to the wall.

"Windra!" Everyone yelled and came running to my side.

"Hehehe it's Sa'Binga alright." I laughed.

"Sen'chi it's ok where not the Dark Ones, we're friends of Redslayer." Ra'oki said in a warm voice.

"Friends of Red, really?" He asked.

"Yes come on out you must be freezing?" Ra'oki replied.

After few moments we heard some movement and the a Zoria male child came into view.

//Windra and SenAqua

The boys clothes were dirty and ripped, you barely tell that his clothes were blue. He was shaking like a leaf, left arm on a weapon and his other was in his pocket. He had fear I had never seen before in a child it was like he saw death and came close to being dead.

"It's ok here." Cin'Lone smiled as she cast a small fire ball and had it float in the space between her and him. He slightly jumped back when Cin'Lone began to chant but when he felt the warmth of the fire he relaxed.

"Where's Red?" Sen'chi asked in a slight whimper.

"What happen to you?" Ra'oki asked.

"I...I...I don't know these homins grabbed me, I struggled for abit then before I knew it was on cold stone. I quickly looked around I was alone, so I ran in case those homin came back. I felt drawn to this room and safe so I went in and closed the door." He explained as he wamed his body.

"It's ok calm down your safe this is god protected holy land no evil can enter it." I told him but he did seem to listen.

"May I see your hand?" I contuined. "I won't hurt you promise." I smiled.

He slowly showed me his left hand, I froze he bore the same symbol as us.

"Ok." I said with a smile, he smiled back and then looked at his hand.

"Hey what's this?" He asked.

"Sa'Binga." I said

With a puff of leaves and flowers Sa'Binga appeared next to Sen'chi; he fall back at the homin who had just appeared.

"You rang." He laughed.

"What no welcome party where are the others?" He laughed.

"Look behind you." Le'Conda and Jen'Moda snickered.

"Guys!" Sa'Binga yelled when he saw his old pals.

"What the hell is going on..." Sen'chi said then fainted.

Everyone look at eachother and laughed like mad men.

"I got him...why do we always faint?" I snickered as I pick up Sen'chi.

"Hey I didn't faint." Jen said with a brow raised.

"Hehe it's just joke, hey Aqua and I did when we found out lets go home." I laughed as we teleported out.

//Windra and SenAqua

We porting in the garden where Aqua was waiting as she sat on the fountains edge, but before I said anything I placed Sen'chi down on the grass.

"Who's he?" Aqua asked as she jumped from the fountain.

"Sen'chi, the new Sa'Binga." I said as I whiped layers of dirt and dust from his face.

"The new Sa'Binga, but...where's Sa'Binga himself." Aqua asked as she ran up to me.

Everyone turned and looked at Aqua, "Temple." We said at the same time.

"Where has he been his clothes are ripped." Aqua asked as she noticed that his clothes were ruined.

"I'd say he lives by himself and has no real home so he lives in the wild." Jen'Mode explained.

"Gunners sight and Red found him in the jungle far from any town." Jen laughed.

"Poor child do we have any clothes for him?" Le'Bele asked Cin'Lone.

"Aye but I suggest all of you go to bed you look half dead." Cin'Lone told all of us she started cleaning Sen'chi face.

"Here these should fit him fine, sorry I must be off, oh and a bed has been added for Sen'ch." Ra'oki said as she hand me a blue Zorai robe and then walked off.

"Bed all of you." Cin'Lone said as she picked up Sen'chi and and walked behind us as we walked to our sleeping chamber.

After we got Sen'chi set, Cin'Lone kissed me and said, Good night everyone sleep well." She then walked off to her chamber.

I could hear everyone snickering from the kiss but I just ignored them and kick off my boots and fell asleep; I wore boots again gezzz." I thougnt to myself just before I fell alseep.

//Windra and SenAqua.

Strange tides had indeed passed just the recent days, not much had been learned
since the day they had set out to find her, Banestar, son Redslayer.
The word had reached her that there had been a fierce fight in one of the towns
in Aeden Aqueous, Crystabell was the name that had scorn through the rumours
that had fastly spread through the land. Yet they all seemed to have one thing
in common; many had seen the light emanating from the battle, but none had seen
the actual fight. IT had placed confusion in the mind of many as where as many
knew that there had been a fight, but no one had seen it.

The area where it had taken place had afterwards turned to be a sight of fear
and carnage. There had been blood splattered all over the bridge where the first
strikes were to be, traces showing that that there was a multitude of wounds and
gashes. But no one could ever seem to determine whom the wounded was, even the
blood left to dry in the sun had been found holding an strange preference.
It was as drinking a glass of water but not being able to taste it.

Perhaps battles were common to happen on Atys and in the lakelands, but in the
vicinity of, and even inside, towns it was a rare sight. And of this kind, to
judge from its rumours, it was unique. There was one whom shed more tears over
this battle then any of those who had stood by watching it, one whom had
recently gone through a hardship which many would not even wish for their worst
enemy. But she had withstood and went through at all costs, just to get thrown
in alike manner again.

Banestar was still sleeping calmly on the bridge leaned toward some boxes
belonging to trainers or merchants. She had been resting for the last hour
perhaps, something that she was in dear need of. Even Drakfot had managed to
find some sleep but not as much as Banestar had. She woke up to the sound of a
hasty stamping on the bridge and as she looked around to see what it was she
noticed that the guard walked by. The Heavy Armours they were wearing added thir
share to the weight. But perhaps she was anxious and therefore woke up easier.

Drakfot looked at Banestar who was still sleeping calmly and it was then she
discovered that they both were having blankets covering them. She looked over to
the crafter trainer and as she did he looked back and waved. Drakfot nodded a
thank for his kind gesture as the weather had been turned from glimmering
evening till a colder night.

"Uhm, how long was I out?" Banestar asked as she awoke.

"Not so long, perhaps an hours worth of rest." Drakfot replied and started to
fold her blanket and was soon joined by Banestar.

"Did you get some sleep to ?" She asked Drakfot.

"Yes, I finished the drink and then stared at the beach across the lake. At
least that be the last I can recall." Drakfot said.

"Hihi" Banestar giggled.

"Banestar.." Drakfot said surprised. "I think that this was the first time in
too long that I have heard you laugh."

"Oh, you are right. Perhaps I am drowsy from the sleep. But I felt like it, and
for some reason which I cannot say I seem more calm and relaxed now."

"That be good news indeed." Drakfot added as they both walked over to the
trainer thanking for the kind gesuter.

The trainer just laughed and said that he could not let his students catch a
cold unless he could do something about it. They had parted smliing and Drakfot
and Banestar once more aimed for the stables.

"You know Drakfot, if something bad would happen to him. I would know it
instantly, he is my son afterall." Banestar said as they left the bridge and
reached the enclosure for the Mektoubs. They were both met by their mounts whom
was happy to see them. Both Drakfot and Banestar petted them and gave them a
treat and then looked at the stable, there were a few Homins around there.

"Do you think its wise to travel in order to search for him, does not the chance
increase that we will run past eachother then ?" Banestar suddenly said as they
were walking towards the crowd.

"Yes, it do seems logical that it would happen. Perhaps we could ask travelers
to ask for us in other towns as they pass. And have the word that we will be
near Fairhaven for a time, perhaps even if they can relay us a parchment if they
find out anything ?" Drakfot said after pondering Banestar's reflection for a
little moment.

They both agreed that they should ask the Homins if they could ask on their
behaf and to let them know as soon as possible.
It seemed as they were in luck this time as some Homins had planned to make a
world trek.

//Drakfot

The night was queit and only the sounds of the forest around the temple would be heard. I walked through the temple halls in search of clues to stop this nightmare of a war. I returned to the mainland for a few days and I find out that my guilds outpost was underattack and the guild has slowly deing. I know I should of found new members but I was begining to loose hope. How could I manage a guild, a trade system that the allinces didn't like, and these battles.

"Windra you cowerd." A voice snapped, I knew that voice.

"The great Wind Guardian, the one who stopped the first La'Beka, befriended allices that at the time hated you, and now you at you." The voice boomed deep into my soul.

"Shut up!" I snapped.

"You make me sick to call you..." It contuined.

"Shut up!" I screamed.

"My son the new Wind Guardian, what happened to you?" I the voice asked kinder voice.

"My friends, family, Wlyer, there gone I failed to protect them, the guild is dead!" I screamed as I shot a wind orb in the direction of the voice.

"As long as one member lives the a guild will never die, Jen'Mode is the heir to the Crimson Blood Allince. Your friends are gone yes but you will always remember them in your heart. Windra you want to help but Atys isn't ready for such a change, come let me explain." My father said then we vanished into thin air. Then reappeard in the study, my father had a large, leather bond , teal covered book. It had the the Sacred Circle of Guardians symbol on it.

"Here read this, it should clear things up, goodbye my son I shall always be with you." He said then vanished.


//Windra and SenAqua

I flipped open the cover and to my suprise it wasn't every dustly in fact it was new. The first page read The History Of the Sacred Circle of Guardains, so I tured the page and read on.

The Sacred Circle of Guardians was formed by Davrick a high officer of the grand and peaceful guild WanderLust. Many wondered what happen to the guild WanderLust; WanderLust was a very peaceful guild but it had it's fair share problems. They had problems keeping member in their guild. Time, drappers, material, weapons, armor, treks wasted; some left and gave a goodbye and reasons. One member known as Windra really didn't notice what was going on, he just went on with his life happly. Little did he know that three new members would become his best friends; Owllwo, Lokky, and Banestar.

Windra did his best to help the new members but he could barely there then they help the new members. Then out of thin air news of the temples reached Windra's ears. No one knew this battle would test WanderLust greatly and decided the fate of the guild.

At the time Windra was weak and wasn't sure what was going to happen and really didn't want to fight the Kami. As the building contuined he got to know Owllwo and Banestar, and he began to see that Iverem his guild leader had something on her mind.

Soon the temples were nearly finished and the need for the great materials was greater then ever. Heated battles occured so often that the only real way for Windra to help was to fight the Kami. When the war was over Windra returned to his normal life but became aware of that he needed an allince and the guild and himself were Karavan. They found out for WanderLust to become Karavan and to own an outpost they needed the help of the whole guild; this pushed the officers and Iverem to the edge.

So on a queit night they met and disguest what had to be done and again Windra really didn't know what they were talking about. In the end Davrick and Iverem decided that WanderLust was beyond help and the only thing left was to start anew. The guild, the guildhall, and all of Wanderlust was left to a very good high officer and good friend; Bala.

Iverem and Windra where that last to join the new WanderLust; The Sacred Circle of Guardians. It was extremly hard to leave WanderLust, it was their home and leaving it was just so hard. In the begining it was hard for the Circle to start but it soon easied up. It was a new life for everyone and at the time things couldn't be better. Windra had found a brother; Lokky. Who they loved to blame for everything, "It's Lokky's fault." It was looky who started showed Windra naked nuking and soon Windra became the guilds naked nuking squad leader.

Sadly this love and happiness wouldn't last for ever and Windra would soon suffer a blow to the heart that no one saw coming.

Next chapter Windra looses a love and finds his true love.
