CHAPTER FOUR

 

THE FOUR TOWER AND IT'S GUARDIAN'S

 

 

 

Nearly a day had passed since the battle with Xerxes and Mykan's fall from power. And the armies of Death Corpse had marched and taken much of the continent. Only two cities were left to resist the power of Xerxes and his dark forces. The Kingdom of Thalmi and Mechrane are the last ones to stand against this moster, the Hooded Man, Xerxes.

 

Night has fallen on the city of Thalmi and a woman dressed in purple robes could be barely seen as she quickly moved from shadow to shadow down the narrow alleyways of the city. Close behind her was a short digimon doing the exact movement, mocking the purpled robed womans exact movements.

 

The robed woman came upon the palace in Thalmi, the one that was playing as homebase for the royal refugees from Eyphan and home for Tai and his group. She saw that the palace was well guarded. She searched for a balcony of some sort, there was many, but on each was two or three soldiers.

 

"Damn, I'll have to wait. There has to be another way in." said the woman to herself. "As a priestess of the Trinity I must have patience." the woman turned back towards the town and look for an inn to stay at for the remainder of the night.

 

The sun broke the darkness away and the city came alive. People flooded the streets of the city and shops filled with customers. Inside the palace Mykan slowly awakens from the battle the day before, his head is pounding and his entire body still hurts. He tries to move from the bed, but cannot. He loooks down to see he is chained to the bed, apparently a prisoner. Sudden visions of the past years come flashing into his mind. All of the atrocisties he had commited.

 

"What have I done?" asked Mykan to no one.

 

"You have done many horrible things..." said a young womans voice upon entering the room. Mykan recognizes her, it is Kari. In her hands is a plate with food and cup filled with water. "Here you need to eat this and regain your strength...my brother and his friends will be back later to ask you some questions..." She sat down the plate and cup on a bedside table and left without another word. The rest of the day seemed to creep by and no one arrived in Mykan's room. It was late in the afternoon when he began hearing some sort of commotion down below.

 

*****

 

Down in the palace grounds the woman in purple robes had bypassed all the guards and entered the main hall, where King Matt and Tai were waiting. A small Bearmon came up next to the purple robed woman.

 

"What do you want here?" asked Matt.

 

"Do you work for Xerxes?" asked Tai. "Answer us!"

 

"No I do not..." said the woman using a gentle voice. "I work for the Trinity." Tai and Matt gasped, the Trinity is a sect of priestesses that work closely with the three Divine Digimon: Cherubimon, Seraphimon, and Ophanimon. The Trinity were never called upon unless the world was in extreme danger, maybe Xerxes is more of a threat than they thought.

 

"Ok, so tell us madame, why have you come?" asked Matt in a more calm demeanor.

 

"I am Priestess Katanna Vaughn." answered the young woman pulling down her purple hood revealing the face of an 18 year old with long brown hair and deep purple eyes. She looks over at Bearmon and nods. The Bearmon walks up to Matt and hands him some partchment, Matt opens it to see a map of Terrice. "On this continent there are four towers in which need to be activated in order for Xerxes to revive the fallen Deities of Darkness." Matt looks over the map and sure enough four towers stand. One north, one south, one east, and one west. "Each tower represents some element. The only one in which I have total knowledge of is Icewalls, the northern tower."

 

"So you mean to tell us all we have to do is destroy these towers?" asked Tai. "No..of course not, its more complicated isnt it?"

 

"I am afraid so." said Katanna. "In each tower lies a guardian, they protect what Xerxes needs and what we need as well. We must for the sake of this world, stop Xerxes and take each crystal from the four towers..." Tai and Matt look over at each other and nod.

 

"What can you tell us of Icewalls?" asked Matt stepping down from his throne and meeting Katanna face to face.

Mykan was still sitting in his room watching as the afternoon became night. As the sun fell behind the horizon a knock came to his door and in come a woman in purple robes.

 

"Who are you?" asked Mykan.

 

"I am Katanna Vaughn of the Trinity..." answered Katanna. "You have been touched by evil? The one named Xerxes correct?"

 

"Yes..." replied Mykan witha hint of sorrow in his voice."Are you..here to help...me?"

 

"Of course I am." said Katanna. "I have already took the liberty in healing your digimon and releasing him from the control of Xerxes and now I will do the same to you...please lie still." Mykan complies and lies down. Katanna takes a seat next to Mykan's bed and proceeds to hold a hand over Mykan. She closes her eyes and begins to concentrate, she chants some words in a foreign tongue and a bright light engulfs Mykan. His wounds suddenly heal and his body re-energized. He feels as though a great burden has been lifted off of him.

 

"Thank-you." said Mykan.

 

"Your welcome Mykan...now I have one question to ask you..." Katanna stands up and walks over to a window. "Will you aide these people in their fight against Xerxes? If not to save the lands, but for revenge?" Mykan becomes sick at the thought of helping his enemies, but then again he was under the control of Xerxes and of course Xerxes ruined twelve years of his life, so revenge sounded good, but deep down he was fighting for his home.

 

"Of course... I will help them." answered Mykan after a brief period of silence.

 

"Good." said Katanna turning around to Mykan. "I will get the key to your locks and when i return we will begin our plans to travel to the norther tower." Katanna makes a polite bow and leaves the room with Mykan to his thoughts.

IN A BARREN FIELD NEAR ANTEGA--

 

In the skies a great black vortex appears, it is massive and covers a great portion of the blue sky. A small figure appears from within the vortex and begins to plummet towards the ground. Not far from this position is a young boy, in his early teens, watching the events unfold.

 

"Whoa..." the young boy runs over a small set of hills and comes across the figure laying face down in the small crater. The figure is of course male, he is wearing blue jean pants, a red hoody, his hair is blonde and looks to be around 14 or 15 years of age. "He looks unharmed...but from that sort of fall?" The young boy runs back to his home getting a friend help this unknown arrival back to his home.

 

The new arrival awakens inside of small cottage, lying on a bed. He sits up slowly and can see someone sitting near a fire.

 

"Oh your awake..." the figure near the fireplace gets up and walks over to the bed. "How are you feeling?"

 

"I have felt better....where am I?" asked the boy on the bed.

 

"Your here...umm on the continent of Terrice near Antega the Warrior City, I am Garin." the boy named Garin hold sout his hand for a shake.

 

"My name is Grey..." Grey extends his hand and they shake. From behind Garin comes a Leomon. "A digimon, so this is a digital world?"

 

"A digital world? This is THE digital world Grey." Garin turns and takes the bowl of soup and hands it to Grey. "It's not the best soup, but it will help you feel better. Now Grey tell me, how did you get here?" The conversation lasts long into the night with Garin falling alseep in his chair. Leomon comes over and picks up Garin and moves him to another bed and carefully puts him in.

 

"So your Leomon?" asked Grey. "What can you tell me about your friend Garin?"

 

"Garin...he is a brave boy...he has been through many hardships and endured much." answered Leomon. "I am the boys guardian, his fathers dying wish was for me to protect him."

 

"I meant more on a personal level." said Grey getting serious.

 

"I will leave that to Garin to tell you, please rest." The Leomon walks over to another bed in the same room and lies down on it and slowly falls to sleep. Grey is left awake as he begins to think about the last few events that have been going on. His memory is foggy and fragmented, and he isnt sure what is going on. Grey suddenly grabs his head in pain as a voice breaks in like daggers through the flesh.

 

"I SENSE A GREAT POWER IN YOU CHILD...YOUR POWERS ARE VAST AND YET UNUSED...YOUR PAST IS LOST...AND SO IS YOUR PURPOSE...I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT..."

 

"How?" asks a weary Grey.

 

"COME TO ANTEGA TOMORROW WITH GARIN, HE WILL TAKE YOU TO ME...ASK FOR THE ONE NAMED XERXES..." The voice suddenly fades out leaving Grey on his own again.

 

"So...this person named Xerxes can help me..." Grey slides back down into the bed and decides to get some rest preparing for the day ahead, and the meeting with Xerxes.
