Chapter 20: Strange Sighting
Later that evening...
Rox: "So now we've gotta decide who gets what room."
Thoris: "Normally we would give you your own room, but..."
Lariat: "(rubbing neck) We're still having issues from the couch."
Owen: "(rubbing neck) But we're going to let you decide."
Rox thinks for a moment.
Rox: "I'll share my room with Owen."
Lariat tosses Rox a key.
Lariat: "Then we'll discuss our plans tomorrow."
They all turn in for the evening.
Meanwhile...
Dr. Orya: "Can those kids learn that it isn't your fault you're like this?"
Veld is getting bandaged up.
Veld: "It will one day stop."
Dr. Orya wraps up.
Dr. Orya: "Now you need to be careful."
Veld stands up.
Veld: "I'll be in my room."
Veld begins to walk down the hall.
Dr. Orya: "My son really does have belief."
Veld enters a mostly empty bedroom att the end of the hallway.
Veld:: "They'll one day regret this."
Veld is staring out of his window.
Veld: "But I don't possess the strength to retaliate."
Veld notices some strange figures moving towards a mountain not far behind the village through the ash.
Veld: "What are those things?"
Veld tries to focus harder, but can't make out much else.
Veld: "Weird, but why are the going to Quake Volcano?"
Veld tries to fall asleep.
The next morning...
Owen: "(yawning) Morning."
Owen wakes up to find Rox curled up into a ball on her bed.
Thoris: "(knocking) We're coming in."
Thoris and Lariat enter.
Owen: "(rubbing eyes) Hey."
They sit down on Owen's bed.
Thoris: "So you guys have any ideas about how we sweep this place?"
Rox: "(yawning) Oh hey guys."
Rox sits up.
Owen: "Not really."
Lariat is thinking.
Lariat: "I suggest that we split up and search in groups of two."
Owen: "So that way we cover more ground faster."
Rox's ears perk up.
Rox: "I get it!"
Lariat stands up.
Lariat: "I'll go with Rox."
Thoris: "Fine by me."
They all quickly set out.
Several hours later...
Owen: "(rubbing back of head) We're seriously finding nothing."
The two have searched the entire west side of town and found nothing.
Thoris: "(yawning) We should head back, eat some, and rest up for tomorrow."
They begin to walk back over to the inn.
Meanwhile...
Rox: "We've got nothing."
Rox and Lariat took care of the east side and got no results.
Lariat: "Let's head back."
They all head back.
Half an hour later...
Lariat: "No luck."
Thoris crashes into his bed.
Thoris: "(muffled) Figures that this wouldn't be easy 100% of the time."
Lariat sits down on his bed.
Rox: "(perky) Well we can just try again tomorrow!"
Owen and Rox begin to leave the room.
Owen: "(yawning) We can try something else tomorrow."
Owen closes the door behind him.
Lariat: "(thinking) Who could it be?"
Lariat lies down.
Meanwhile...
Xeoin: "It appears that they aren't realizing that the answer was right in front of them."
Floa: "But I fear that he will arise in the face of death."
Poxi: "Soalious, his bonds are weakening."
Bael: "But either way, the bonds will continue to weaken whether we give them the power, or we take it back."
Feaquil: "It's better to give us a chance rather than lose the opportunity."
Meanwhile...
Veld: "(snoring) One day..."
Veld had just fallen asleep when he feels a tremor like never before.
Veld: "(drowsy) What was that?"
He looks outside to see that Quake Volcano is beginning to glow.
Veld: "(rubbing eyes) Please tell me this is a dream!"
He's not dreaming.
Veld: "Quake Volcano is supposed to be dormant! Why is it going off?!"
Veld remembers the figures.
Veld: "I need to stop them!"
Veld grabs his hammer and hops out of his window.
Veld: "All I need to do is believe."
