Felix walked back up the stares and shut the hidden door behind him. He too, retired to his quarters and went to bed. It wasn't long before he closed his eyes that his vision became enshrouded by the devastating scenes of war and destruction, all the different way the world could come to ruin by the paragons flashing before his eyes. All of this was familiar to him. Then the voice spoke, though, before it was a roaring voice, this time it was a soft female voice that consoled him and lifted him up just by its sound.

[color=fff79a]"O Felix, ye chosen of the magi. Ye who knowest much yet still ignorant of all. Ye have collected the names of the chosen protectors, yet thou art not finished." [/color] The disembodied voice softly explained. 

"Yes, I know I am not finished we still have to collect the other Paragons." Felix replied.

The voice continued on as if it didn't acknowledge Felix's reply, [color=fff79a]"The names bestowed upon you were those who had ripened. They were mature in their crafts, and thus were ready to be collected. Yet there are more names that have only just matured."[/color]

"More names? Are these replacements for the names that have died?" Felix asked.

[color=fff79a]"These names are ripened. They are ready for the collection. Find them soon. Only together can you weather the coming storm."[/color] The voice seemingly replied. Then a torrent of images of people in different locations. The first image was of the blonde woman, Alya. He'd met her before, but the scene quickly panned over to a girl with long black hair who was with her. Then the images quickly changed to a purple skinned woman holding an amulet. Once more the images changed, this time to a brown haired girl with wings. 

The vision faded, and Felix found himself upright at his desk instead of lying in bed. Another piece of parchment with another list of names and locations written in his handwriting. Felix folded the paper up, and, with a puff of blue flames, stored it in his mana inventory. [i]New names? A new list? It never even occurred to me that names could be added to the group. But I guess it makes sense.[/i] Felix pondered.

It was now just and hour before dawn, and Felix decided, he would get a jump on these four names. [i]If I bring them back before everyone wakes up, I should still have time to make breakfast, we wouldn't want the new names on the list to miss out now would we?[/i]

Felix conjured the list, the first name being Alya Summers. Next to her name, the location said, "Valakite Catacombs, Redwood Forest." [i]That's odd, that's where I left her, I wonder why she would still be in there..." Felix pondered. [/i]But he also noticed another name, Zuri, just below that name. With the location just saying, "Accompanying Alya Summers," which really made Felix scratch his head. 

Felix conjured on his robes, and opened a glyph rift to the catacombs. Standing at the entrance, he used manalysis to feel for Alya's aura. He found the aura, being accompanied by a black aura, a little deeper in the catacombs than he had figured. 

Felix opened a rift up to their location and stepped through it. The glowing shimmering surface of the rift had the image of the redwoods, and Felix stepping through it. The images refracted through the portal in real time, looked like the surface of a pool of natural spring water, that was by some fluke of natural physics, standing upright. And when Felix walked through it, ripples were made as if he breached the surface of a pond. 

He stood in front of the two girls. Alya he had met before, but the other he had only seen in his dream. 

"Alya, good to see you again. And Zuri, I'm Felix, pleased to meet you. I bet you are wondering why I am back, and how I know Zuri's name? Well, let's leave this catacomb and talk." Felix said awkwardly. He kept the rift open as a source of light, and was hoping they would leave the dark, dank catacombs as soon as possible.
