Chapter Thirteen: Messes and Disasters

Jacob awoke to a bustle of activity as things were gathered up around him and people prepared for the busy day ahead. Judging by the placement of the sun, it was at least ten in the morning. He couldn’t believe Azuriah had let him sleep in. Or maybe everyone had slept long.

He spotted Aloren crouched by the fire and joined her, tempted to pull the twigs out of her hair. He knew she’d probably hit him if he did, though, so he just sat on the other side of the fire and grabbed a few biscuits.

They ate in silence for five minutes before Akeno, Sweet Pea, and Ebony joined them. Jacob couldn’t believe Aloren’s stubbornness and determination. It drove him nuts that she wouldn’t even meet his eye. But judging by the colors around her, she was still pretty upset about breaking up with Kevin. Which didn’t make sense, since she was the one who did it. Shouldn’t she be happy to be free? Or did he just not understand?

The next hour and a half were spent with Azuriah organizing everyone and giving last-minute instructions such as, “Don’t get in the way” and “Leave us alone” to the humans. Jacob was sure the humans were tired of hearing that.

Half an hour before noon, their entire group left the protection of the trees and marched toward the lake, with Azuriah in front.

Jacob watched with interest as Azuriah stood at the water’s edge and started making sweeping motions with his arms. The water in front of him swirled and rose, then shot up into the sky as directed. It misted out until a gray cloud formed, which Azuriah pushed toward the southern mountains, where Lirone lived.

He turned and spotted Jacob standing near him. “That should bring the sky dweller to us.” Azuriah glared at Jacob, folding his arms. “Why are you not in formation?”

“You never told me where to stand or what to do.”

Azuriah grabbed Jacob’s arm. “We don’t have time for this. Go stand by your father. Watch the other Shiengols and look at the sun when they do.”

Dad wasn’t far off—only about twenty feet—and Jacob was glad he could still see Azuriah from there. He watched his uncle closely, hoping for any hint of what was to come. But the clouds gathering in the southern skies took his attention away immediately. Lirone was forming, and he was angry! Jacob could tell by the jerky movements and boiling greens and browns shifting through the dark gray clouds. Lightning flashed brilliantly.

Then the new cloud moved toward Jacob’s group so fast it looked like someone had dropped a bomb over the southern mountains.

“Now!” Azuriah shouted.

Jacob ripped his eyes from the sky to see what the other Shiengols were doing. They stared at the sun, their gazes brightening and brightening until they nearly blinded him. He quickly turned to do as they did. But as soon as he had the sun in his vision, Lirone arrived, and Jacob lost his concentration.
