IoG:RtE Chapter 2 : "South Cape revisited"


Will woke up that morning, in the hotel room they had rent. He was
feeling heavily depressed. He had dreamed of horrible events that
were bound to happen. Demons were overrunning the world. He knew
that it was a sign from Gaia, she needed him to save the world again...
He was tired of his adventure, now that he remembered it, and didnt
feel like overtaking the forces of the comet once again. 800 years
had passed. Had he reborn to fight again ? What was the point of fighting?

It was still early, but no one was there... strange. He went down the
lobby to see if they were there but there was no one in sight execpt
for the receptionnist and a few stewards. Racked up, he stumbled back
to his room. He had'nt sleep very well last night, he had had this terrible
nightmare he didn't remember clearly.

He went back to his bed, but could'nt sleep, so he went out to the bathroom,
brushed his teeth and had a shower. When he got out, the others had come
back, and looked rather joyous. Wil envied them...he didnt feel good at all.

The group was composed again of Will and his close friends, they had left
their hometowns to follow him and help him find his beloved. Will had left
his job in june, and waited until the others could do the same. Erik,
although he was pretty wealthy since his father was the mayor of South Cape,
New Brunswich, did have to wait until school was finished to go. But he was
eager to pay for the trip so the others did'nt ruin themselves. Lance and
Lilly had no job, so they were ready to go with the others. Seth worked on
contract, and none had come recently, so he'd be free to leave. And finnally,
Neil, who was working freelance, was always eager to go with will...after all,
he was an adult, and they were best seen leaving the country with someone like
him even thought thay were major.

Erik went up to Will.
"Wanna come with us? we're going to get some breakfast somwhere, and then
we'll look for that caravan."

They were in Canada now, in New Brunswich. They were looking for a mean of
transport so they could scour the country. Thay had stumbled on many trailer
offers and were thinking of that option.

"Ok... Say? where were you guys this morning?"
Lilly was the fisrt to answer.
"We went to the post office" She said, pointing herself then Lance," to have
them send our mail to our parents while we are gone"
"Mmm. Good Idea, I should have done the same with my grandparents."
"You were so tired this morning that we let you sleep," Lance said,with a
smile."So we made a query for you too."
"Oh, thanks"His good mood was starting to come back.

They went to a small restaurant in South Cape named Joe's Patate, where they
took a table and started talking about the past.

				***

They were discussing the episode of the plane crash when Will stood up,
looking dazed.
Lance looked at him, amused.
"Whassa matter Will ?" he asked "Don't feel well? having seisures?"
Will was very frightening, Lilly saw somthing in his eyes that didn't
reassure her. Lance kept joking.
"Hey, you could answer you know, it's unpolite."

They all jumped when Will Fell backwards and screamed.
It was a horrible scream, coming from the bowels of his stomach. They all
backed away. Will's eyes narrowed as he took both his hands to his head.
He knelt down, his hands still clutched on his scalp, screaming like a banshee.
They took him by the soulders and dragged him away. The restaurant customers
were indeed looking scared, some of them were pale and frightened.

They had caused a racket. So Erik paid a little supplement to the retaurant
owner. Every eye was staring at them when they got out with an unconscious Will..

Back at the hotel, they deposited him on his bed and gathered around, with a
certain distance. They were afraid something else would happen.

Only after a few minutes, he woke up. His eyes opened and he mouthed:
"Dark Gaia..."

In another place in the world, a girl named Kara woke up with a start and yelled:
"WILL !!!"
