Shadows
By: Anna Whisnant
Prologue
In this fragile world there are many material truces and hearts are broken of a simple in the midst of it all we can forget all that is important to us. And The Three Guiding Lights even lose true sight of what is important. My arms felt the strain of the demon that was attacking me.
"Mikomi! We're gonna die if we don't get into gear!" I shouted over the sounds of battle.
"Myoa! What do you think we're doing?!" She Shot a blast at a large demon in the head and felled it.
All of a sudden Suki's Bow got knocked down And her guardian was long away.
"SUKI!" Mikomi and I screamed at the same time. Mikomi thew up an energy barrier as aI raced over to her. She was badly injured.
"Myoa, Myoa we have to do the spell."She sputtered out. I shook my head grimly.
"Suki,we can't, it's only for emer-"
"And you don't count this as an emergency? Look around you! Men and women are dying. And you cant cover up that gash in your arm. I know this okay? If we do this we can hold off the war for another what 200 years?I promise this will work okay? Now please order your souls to spread word to the soldiers that we need a 60 foot circle around us. And get all the pets and Guardians." She drew in a shuddering breath. I knew what I had to do
"Kihaku-kiri, call out and send all souls to send the soldiers please form a perimiter around and all pets and gaurdians please come to us."
A wisp scattered around us and all became still. Then a shout sounded and the soldiers did as they were instructed. Kitsune, my Nine tailed fox, carried my gaurdian Azmov and settled by my feet. Mikomi came with Jamesson and her griffin Uyoku. Finally Suki's Phoenix Aia And Gerad came to us.
"Your souls mentioned the final spell. Are you sure?" Azmov asked.
" Yes. It's the only way." Suki said standing,"Quick Mikomi, You are better at weaving spells. Start now! We only have a minute."
Mikomi wiped away the silent tears and threw her staff into the uttered a terrible scream and light flashed from her necklace.
"SEND US AWAY TO A SILENT SLUMBER!" She screamed. It was Suki next.
" GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO FEEL WHILE WE ARE WITHIN THIS SLUMBER!" Gerad held her up as she said this and held her arms so they could produce the Love light from her turn.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
" SEAL US WITHIN A SOUL SO WE MAY BE READY WHEN THE DARKNESS THREATENS US AGAIN!" I threw my whole being into the spell.
A liquidy bubble enclosed around Pets flew into the sky in order to seal it.
I wasn't scared as breath began to leave my lungs. This was just natural. I felt my necklace and bearings be stripped away to the Altier Dimension, for the next holder to handle. I heard our pets yowl with firmness and then submitted to the welcoming comforts of sleep.
