Meanwhile, the Light teleported Geed and Canine into the Scorching Desert, Northwest of Phoenicia.
"Canine, are you alright?" Geed asked.
Canine grimaced in pain.
"I am fatally wounded Geed, I will not make it. From here on, you must continue this journey alone" Canine said.
"Don't talk like that Canine, I won't let you die, I…I'LL USE MY LIGHT POWERS TO HEAL YOU!" Geed cried.
"There are some things even you can't change. Even if you succeed, you will lose your life and eventually, Lord Kane will succeed in eliminating the others. Protect the life that Romanus died protecting and never…ever…stop believing" Canine spoke weakly.
Then Canine reached into his fiery heart and brought out the Gem Of Fire!
"Canine, how did you?" Geed asked.
"The Temple Of The Gem Of Fire is the Royal Firehound me. Find the other Sacred Creatures, they will help you" Canine guided. "When you find all the Gems, use their power to create a Sword Of Light in the Temple Of Light. With it, you can defeat Darkmanner. I'm proud to have called you Brother, Magi Geed Of The Light!" Canine said as he breathed his last and died.
Geed hugged Canine's lifeless body as it slowly turned into sparks and disappeared.
"Canine, my friend…I promise you that I'll never fail. I'll protect the others and avenge you, FAREWELL FOREVER" Geed took an oath and placing the Gem Of Fire in his pouch, he stood up and walked on.
For Five Days, he moved through the Desert and on the sixth day, he fainted from exhaustion. Is this it? Is this how it's going to end for the Light Magi? For one who lost everything in a single night? But Geed didn't die. His pain, his hatred kept him moving on for one day, he knew that the King Of Phoenicia must pay! The Gem Of Fire glowed like never before, the Kings Of Fire and Wind, the Dragons came and carried Geed off to Windia.
"You cannot die now, you must live!" Saurian, the Dragon Prince told Geed.
The Dragons flew for five more days before Windia, the Kingdom Of Wind was sighted in the Clouds. The Dragons took Geed to the King Of Windia, King Aerobis. The King who happened to be a Historian immediately realized who Geed was when he saw the mark of the Five Point Star but instead of seeing darkness in Geed, the King saw a worthy son and adopted Geed. Geed's wounds were treated and after recovering, he joined in their activities. The King told Geed all about Gideon and Darkmanner, the Magi, the Crystal Of Destiny and the Gems. Soon, Geed saw Aerobis as a second Romanus. The wise King seemed to know everything.
"You remind me very much of my son, Prince Damian, he's also gifted in controlling Wind" the King told Geed.
"Where is he?!" Geed asked excitedly.
"He's married to Princess Elaine, the Water Princess. He lives in Marinea" the King told Geed.
"I hope he remains safe…" Geed murmured.
"What's wrong young Magi? You seem worried" King Aerobis asked. "You never told me where you're from. According to Saurian, you were found wandering around the scorching Desert".
"I'm from a nightmare I never want to remember again. Forgive me your majesty" Geed bowed.
"Call me Father, if you do not mind" the King said with a laugh.
And thus Geed stayed in Windia for five years, learning everything he could from the King about the past. Soon he became an expert in controlling Wind and even almost surpassed the King.
"I was right about you. You're just like my son, a wind controlling prodigy. But this is not enough. You must find the other gems and Magi and master Earth, Water, Dark and Light" King Aerobis advised Geed.
"But why would I want to master Dark, it's the cause of all my pain" Geed asked.
"To understand Light, you must understand Shadow. You must understand how Darkness feels and acts and counter it with the way of Light" King Aerobis told Geed.
