Chapter 2: Jack Yeweys
Within an hour, Joseph and Eryth arrive at the coal mine, where a guard is out front.
Guard: "Who're you kid? Get lost!"
Joseph pulls out the letter.
Joseph: "I am Joseph Yeweys appreciate to Sage Yeweys of the Light Rune."
Eryth: "I'm the emissary of God, the chosen is here."
The guard does a quick analysis of the letter.
Guard: "Follow me."
The guard leads Joseph and Eryth through the deep, spiraling pathways of the mines.
Joseph: "Life here is..."
Eryth: "A hell hole."
They come to a man in an expensive looking suit.
Guard: "These two request to see you boss."
Boss: "I only see a kid."
Eryth: "(annoyed) How rude can you be?!"
Boss: "(shocked) Why are you two here?"
Joseph: "This letter from Sage Yeweys will explain everything."
The boss does a quick skim of the letter and immediately shreds it to pieces.
Boss: "I don't buy anything those Sages say."
Eryth: "(annoyed) Then how do you explain me?!"
Boss: "Take them away."
The guard grabs Joseph's arm in one hand and Eryth in another and begins to drag them off.
Eryth: "(grunting) Let me go!"
Guard: "If the boss doesn't believe, I must obey."
Joseph: "(struggling) Do you even have a will of your own?!"
Guard: "No."
Joseph: "Sorry to do this!"
Joseph slugs the guard in the face.
Guard: "You little..."
Joseph puts his hands together.
Joseph: "Cover your eyes Eryth!"
Joseph uses the Light Rune to blind the guard as Eryth covers her eyes.
Eryth: "(jumping onto Joseph's shoulder) I can lead you through here!"
Joseph dashes back to the boss and punches him in the face.
Joseph: "See ya!"
Joseph follows a path heading right.
Boss: "You little! All men! Apprehend the boy without a number!"
Guards begin chasing Joseph.
Eryth: "Left!"
Joseph slides to the left while...
Boss's Voice: "(echoing) All men apprehend the boy without a number!"
A few guards around C-137 rush off.
Guard: "No one is getting out!"
C-137: "(smiling) This is my chance!"
C-137 draws a Rune into the dirt as flames erupt from his hand.
C-137: "Rune #3 Flame!"
The guard is burned to a crisp as slaves begin to rush past several armed guards.
C-137: "(smiling) Freedom!"
A-99 walks up to her brother.
A-99: "Run!"
As the two begin to run...
Joseph: "It looks like our interference lead to a rebellion!"
Eryth: "The bond is getting stronger now! Middle pathway!"
Joseph continues his dash to the bottom...
C-137: "(smiling) We're getting out of-"
A-99: "(tripping) No!"
A-99 tripped on a rock and her leg begins to bleed.
C-137: "No!"
C-137 rushes back to help his sister.
A-99: "It's no use! I can't run like this!"
A guard dashes toward the two.
A-99: "Go! I'll be alright!"
C-137 begins to cry.
C-137: "(crying) I can't leave you here!"
A-99: "Yes you can!"
C-137 wipes away his tears.
C-137: "(sniffling) I'll be back!"
C-137 gets away just before the guard catches him.
Joseph: "How's that bond doing!"
Eryth: "Duck!"
Joseph stops in front of a dozen guards.
Joseph: "(ducking) Why?!"
A kid with messy, blond hair draws a Rune in the dirt.
C-137: "Rune #7 Ice!"
Icicle lances impale half of the guards.
Eryth: "That's why!"
Joseph: "Oh..."
The kid walks up to Joseph.
C-137: "You're the kid the guards are after. I'm C-137."
Eryth jumps onto C-137's shoulder.
Eryth: "We've got who we're here for! Let's go!"
Joseph gives C-137 the bracelet with all of the Runes.
Joseph: "Listen, we need to get out of here! The Sage of Light needs to meet the chosen."
C-137: "What?!
Joseph blinds the remaining guards.
Joseph: "C'mon!"
The three make a mad dash to the outside, taking out any guards in their way, until the end...
Joseph: (relieved) The exit!"
A bright light covers their eyes.
Boss: "Not so fast!"
The boss blocks the pathway.
Boss: "Do you have any idea how much these repairs are going to cost because of you!?"
Eryth: "(annoyed) The only reason why this happened is because you wouldn't let us do what we need to do!"
Boss: "It doesn't matter! Money is what makes the world stay in motion! I'll put you two and C-137 back to work. Yeweys will pay a nicely for you all!"
The boss uses the Earth Rune to build a wall around himself.
C-137: "I made a promise to A-99, and you're not going to stop me anymore!"
C-137 uses the Iron Rune to stab right through the wall and the boss.
Joseph: "Holy shit!"
Eryth: "Just go!"
The three arrive outside.
C-137: "The sun..."
Joseph: "Follow me. I'll take you to the home of the Light Sage."
C-137 follows Joseph through the lively city of Lio as he experiences new and exciting things like sweets and the fresh air.
Joseph: "Here we are."
The three enter a large house in the center of Lio.
Light Sage: "You're back!"
Joseph: "It wasn't easy, but..."
C-137 enters.
Eryth: "This is C-137, the chosen one."
The sage analyzes the boy closely.
Light: "I feel immense energy from his body, there is no mistaking it, but I believe that you have a real name."
C-137: "Who is the chosen?"
Joseph: "The chosen is the one who was chosen to one day, master the 14 Runes of Vaile and unlock the 15th Rune."
Eryth: "It looks like it's you and we need to call you something other than C-137."
Jack: "I always wanted my name to be Jack..."
Light Sage: "Well, then I guess your name will forever be Jack Yeweys."
Jack: "(smiling) Thanks!"
Light Sage: "I will also have the local tailor make you something nicer than those rags."
Joseph: "My name is Joseph Yeweys, Jack and for a while, you'll be training with me."
Jack and Joseph shake hands.
Jack: "(smiling) Pleasure to be working with you!"
