The Mercury Lighthouse

Welcome to the Mercury Lighthouse... Now that peace seems to be fairly widespread, the Mercury Clan feels safe enough to open the entrance to this massive tower of legend to the commoners. With the combined power of many Adepts, the fountain of Herme's Water is full, but more comes simply in drops, and it all must be carefully rationed, in case dire need should arise from it. If you happen to see any Mercury djinni swimming about, please be so kind as to remove them from the water, as we require all that we have.

Two platforms, one on either side of the lighthouse, are manipulated by Psynergy, and simply standing on one will cause it to take you to the Aerie of the Mercury lighthouse, where you may see at least one Adept trying to fill the space of the Mercury Star with his or her meanger Psynergy.

*Two men in black capes, armed with swords approach the fountain and shove the Imil villagers away.*

Mystery Man 1: Ah, so this is Hermes water. *Looks at it a moment, and frowns.* It's just water...

Mystery Man 2: No, it's far more. Now, let's get to work...

Mystery Man 2: *Uses highly refined Psynergy to lift the Hermes Water from the fountain and suspend it in midair.*

Mystery Man 1: *Produces a large clay bottle and begins to use a Psynergy that starts to condense the water into a smaller mass very slowly.*

Mystery Man 2: Great, now let's deliver our package.

Mystery Man 1: *Nods.* 100,000 coins to collect water? Too easy.

Mystery Man 2: It seems that way. What do you think they'd need with this much healing water? *Shakes head.* No matter. Let's go. *Shoves a villager aside into the Mercury lighthouse's pool and walks down the stone path.*

*Element, a small Mercury djinn who happened to be swimming in the fountain, finally sees the two people stealing his water and decides to retaliate, using his natural Psynergy to pelt the theives with thick spires of ice*

MM1: Eh? What's this? *Shields his face.* Foolish creatures! We are simply fulfilling a job.
MM2: *Breaks from the barrier with a haller.* NOVA!!! *Casts a massive explosion on the Djinni, sending it careening into the lighthouse walls.*

*snarls at the two theives, a sound not made by djinni. Element suddenly begins growing rapidly, shifting into his full size of around 45 feet in length. Element claws aside the two theives and, taking the precious water from them, pours it carefully back into the fountain*

MM1: Why you... *Stands to his feet, laughs and swings open his cape, revealing a strange, dull-colored Djinni. It's black.*

MM2: *Reveals a similar Djinni.*

*Blinks* A black djinni... *Leans down and tilts his head to one side, staring at the djinni out of his left eye* Amazing... *realizes this isn't the time and prepares to pounce on the theives*

Mystery Djinni 1: *Jumps into the air and disappears with a black puff of smoke.*

MM1: Try this on for size! Pluto Summon! *Three black holes open up in midair and unleash massive blasts and clouds of dark energy in what seems like an insane Dark Blessing.*

MM2: *Draws sword and it takes on the dark color. Jumps into midair and smashes down on Firestorm.*

*sword lands on side of his long neck, unleashing a shower of sparks against hard scales*

Ow. That tickled.

*uses telekinesis and MysteryMan2 slams into the wall*

Pathetic. I honestly hope you are better than that.

*Snarls weakly and claws toward the djinni, some patches of scales gone, revealing flexing muscle and silvery bones. With a swipe of a clawed paw, Element knocks the djinni into a wall*

*The Djinni hits the wall, rebounds, and returns to it's owner.*

MM1: Hmm, these two are stubborn. We have no choice.

*The two Pluto Djinn Fly into the air and disappear, signaling a summon.*

MM2: It will take only a few moments... Any last requests?

Yeah... *Raises his bloodied paw over both theives* Call of those pets of yours, or I take a step.

MM1: Fool! Have you no idea what power the Pluto Star and it's Djinn possess???

MM2: *Looks up.* You die now! Hades Summon!

*The three-headed dog branches off from the figure and speeds towards Firestorm, breathing black fire, and the man collides with Element in a massive, dark explosion.*

*Reels backward at the explosion, crushing a portion of the tower. As Element cranes his neck to see the damage done, he nearly makes the pain worse in shock when he is able to see his own heart beating, but the rapidly healing flesh covers it slowly, but steadily*

*Element, still laying in the rubble, watches as new scales spread across the bare bloodied wound, getting back onto all fours as soon as the massive wound is healed* o.O... *Begins muttering strings of draconic until the Aerie begins to stop buckling and threatening to fall, though a large portion of it is still missing*

*Feeling useless to help, the only thing Element can do without causing any more trouble to these people is to shrink once again into a djinni and bounce away*

((There Chaos, happy? It didn't take more than four pages to demolish the lighthouse this time!))
