Brightclaw237: Here is the next chapter of Tria's story, I am having a bit of writer's block with this one, but I will have this story completed. Hopefully you all enjoy it. I own nothing.
It has been three days since I had that strange nightmare, and it hasn't appeared since Sky and Jura came to see me after hearing my scream. I don't know what caused me to have such a nightmare, but I hope to never have it again. Thankfully, Leon has finally gotten better, and has started hanging out with Sky more. It makes me happy to see Sky full of joy. I rarely get the chance to be with my sister, but I want her to be happy. I know that in order for her to not fully transform would be by staying within 200 ft. of Jura, or Leon keeping her calm. Jura only transforms when he fears for the safety of his family, or when he feels powerless or scared. In the case that one of them to transform out of fear, Sky would be more likely to transform. It is rare to cause Jura to become frightened, he seems to have no fear yet. In the case for either of them to be transformed by rage, they would both end up in their other forms. I still worry for them ever since having that nightmare. I have no idea what it could have meant, but I feel as it is a warning about Sky and Jura being in danger. I stop writing in my journal once again, and look up at the screen in my room. Sky's team has won yet another tournament, and she just keeps growing stronger each day. This time, Sky was to battle Jura and his team composed of, Becky, and Daisy. Jura's team tried their best, but not even Shadow(Dark version of Lythro) could take Claw down. The bond that Sky and Claw share with their teammates is greater than anyone can ever imagine. I smile as Sky is handed the trophy, which has a silver wolf striking down a purple raven. This tournament was called "Everlasting Bonds", a tournament to strengthen the bonds of vivosaur and fighter to an extent that makes the two almost inseparable. I would have taken part in the tournament, but I have been on edge lately, and cannot battle. I smile as Sky walks over to the podium to speak a few words.
"My name is Sky Okami Stryker, and I would like to say a few words to express the bond I share with my vivosaurs." Sky starts, taking a deep breath.
Before my sister can say anything else, alarms start blaring all throughout all three fossil parks. When all three parks are in this state of crisis, it can only mean one thing. "INTERFOL!" I gasp, realizing what is about to happen. I run out the door and toss my Ptera JP, Rose. There is no time for me to climb onto her back, so she grabs my arms with her talons, and flies to Sky and Jura's location.
Sensing danger, Sky sends Claw take Lucky to where the civilians are hiding. Jura has Shadow take Becky and Daisy take cover hidden in the crowd. Sky then hurries to where she senses the danger, Jura following right behind her. "Jura, what's going on?!" She growls in confusion.
"Not sure, but I think that we may be in danger." Jura growls. All of a sudden, Sky drops to the ground, clutching the sides of her head in pain. "Sky, what's wrong?!" Jura asks, worried for his younger sister.
"Some...kind...of...fre...quen...cy!" Sky manages to cry out before fainting, her body going limp.
"Sky!" Jura exclaims, picking up his sister. Soon helicopters arrive, people wearing vivosaur-proof armor step out and gather around the two. Jura snarling angrily begins to transform. Before Jura can even grow in size, he is hit with some kind of dart. The dart somehow causes Jura's muscles to relax, and he collapses as well. By the time I arrive, I am too late. I see my brother and sister being carried off to the place known as INTERFOL, most likely never to be seen again.
"Sky Okami Stryker and Jura Kyouryuu Stryker, you two are hereby taken into custody of INTERFOL." One of the employees shouts through a megaphone, alerting the other wardens of the parks. Claw hides behind Lucky, too scared to save Sky. Shadow hides behind Daisy's leg, same reason as Claw. They both know that they can't save their fighters, or they would be caught as well. Deep down inside the hearts of the two vivosaurs, fear and rage burns as they watch helplessly as their fighters are captured. This would've happened to Claw five years ago if my dad didn't have Prof. Little put him in cryogenic sleep. He would have been retrieved by the forces of INTERFOL, and never let go. INTERFOL forbids any kind of creature that possesses light or dark energy roam free. If the creature never uses its power, it would be left to be. Once a creature uses its light or dark energy, INTERFOL steps in to retrieve the organism that the energy originated from. Sky and Jura are no exception, even if they are the children of the captain.
Lucky and Daisy see me, and run over to me. "Tria, what's happening?!" Daisy asks, tears forming in her eyes. Lucky can't even stop himself from crying, he has always been very emotional.
Dahlia sees Lucky crying and runs over to him, Leon following behind. "What's wrong little brother?" Dahlia asks, trying to calm down her younger brother.
Leon looks to where the INTERFOL agents are, and sees Sky and Jura. His eyes widen when he sees their weakened states. "Tria, is that…" He begins.
"Yes, it's INTERFOL, and they are here to take Sky and Jura away." I say, trying to hold back my tears. "There is nothing that we can do, but watch as they take away my brother and sister!" I cry. Two vivosaurs are sent out to carry Sky and Jura into a large aircraft that now lands. The vivosaur carrying Sky is a cryo, meaning that they know that Sky is weak to the cold. A toba carries Jura, it's sacred bones conteracting Jura's dark energy. "I am not strong enough to to stop INTERFOL, nobody is." I say. "They will contain anything that possesses an energy that could pose as a threat to this world." I say. "They only see Sky and Jura as lab rats, nothing more than test subjects." I say, heading back home with Claw in my arms. 'There's got to be a way though, and I will find it!' I think as a tear rolls down my cheek.
I sit on my bed, holding a photo our family before everything changed. In the photo, Sky is standing next to me, hugging our first pet, Midnight. Midnight was a mix breed of wolf or coyote, but she was a great pet none the less. Bud, our cat was sitting on dad's head. He was my favorite out of the three pets we had.
Lucky, our golden retriever was trying to lick Sky's face, ended up in the air trying to jump at my little sister. Sadly, all three pets had been injured by the man that took Sky away, but it seemed that he took a DNA sample from Midnight. They had all sensed something and wouldn't leave Sky. They fought as hard as possible, but were defeated in the end. I guess that the man wanted to see what could happen if Sky would be forced to fight her pets, but since Sky escaped, his plan fell into ruin. Shortly a year after Sky's kidnapping, Midnight passed away due to old age. Lucky had to be given to a family friend due to some issues, and he shortly passed away just four years ago. Bud got into a fight with a wild animal, and was killed. That was ten years ago. Our family just kept getting smaller and smaller. When mom went missing, that is when Star and I went on a journey to become stronger. Finally, when Sky came back, things started to return back to the way they had been before. Everything has started to revert back to how it was when Sky was first taken, and it is all because of INTERFOL.
"Tria, are you feeling okay?" Mom asks as she open the door to my room. I don't say anything, and wrap my arms around my knees. "Tria, we will get your brother and sister back." She says. "INTERFOL knows how powerful Sky and Jura are, but they underestimate the true power of the bond that those two share with you." Mom says. "Sky may have saved this park before, but she had was always thinking about you when she wasn't home." Mom says.
"You really think so?" I ask.
"Yes, a Sky always looked to you when she was scared. You are what gives Sky her hope, and she needs you now more than ever before to save her." She says. "There is a lost fragment of the legend that speaks of a third beast, one that tells of protecting the great light wolf." Mom says. "It is said that the wolf was abandoned at a young age, and was taken in by a group of wild beasts that were often attacked by the wolf's pack. No one knows what the beasts really were, because they were lived in a different region far from where the humans lived." She says. "Legend says that the beasts took pity on the young pup, and raised it as one of their own. The light wolf grew up like one of them, and guarded its new family with its life." Mom explains. "Eventually, the pack that the light wolf had been abandoned by, discovered that the pup had grown into a strong protector." She says. "The wolf pack wanted the light wolf to return, but it had refused. A war between the beasts and wolves ensued, and many of both side were greatly wounded." Mom says. "One of the beasts that the wolf had been raised alongside was wounded greatly, and was slowly dying." She says. "In order to save its friend, the light wolf used the power that lied within its heart to heal its friend." Mom says. "Seeing the two sacrifice so much for different species, the wolves and beasts sopped fighting. The light wolf and the beast went on their own journey, joining the humans that had tamed the dinosaurs of long ago." She explains. "This is how the Hikari Okami tribe was created. The wolf sensed the light within the hearts of the humans, and you pretty much know the rest." Mom says. "Sky's power does indeed originate from the legend, as well as Jura's." She says. "You also have the same kind of power, Tria." Mom says, and my eyes widen in surprise. "Sky is only capable to transform into the light wolf because of the experimentation that had affected her body. That power was supposedly sealed away long ago before she was even born, her true power was only awakened, and in reality the changes to her DNA only made her power stronger." She explains. "For you, it is the same, Tria." Mom says. "Thanks to healing the beast with its light energy, the wolf gave the animal the power of light. That was only possible due to the strong bond that the two shared." She says. "Those who were born from the blood of the ancient tribe, had spiritual guardians that watched over the child until death." Mom explains. "Like Sky's power, the spiritual beasts had also been sealed away. Thanks to Sky's power being restored, the beasts have begun to resurface." She says. "There were many friends of the light wolf, but only a few were chosen to bear the sacred beasts of the light." Mom says.
"Sacred beasts of the light?" I ask.
"Yes, there were a total of seven including the wolf and beast." Mom says. "The wolf and beast had formed a new clan of different animals, and there were five animals that gained the power to be known as a sacred beast of light." She explains. "After the beasts had passed, they became the first spiritual guardians. Though the other beasts did not resurface until the wolf and beast had been bestowed upon the chosen ones of light." Mom says.
"What were the five other animals?" I ask.
"The legend tells of these five creatures." Mom starts. "There was a lioness, bear, dragon, leopard, and one other wolf." She says.
"There was another wolf?" I ask.
"Yes, but each animal had an important role. A key to the heart, and what truly made them sacred." Mom says. "The first wolf you already know about, represents the light of the heart and soul. Dispelling any darkness that threatened the land." She explains.
"Sky has that spiritual guardian, or guardians in this case." I say.
"Correct, but she is the only one who has two spiritual guardians." Mom says. "The other wolf represented the bonds that hold us all together. It was responsible for the humans taming the wild dinosaurs of the past with light energy." She explains. "The bear represents the courage and love that lives in us all. It's power flowed through the hearts of the people, and encouraged them to fight on against the darkness to the end." Mom says. "The bear was one of the most powerful of the seven." She explains. "The leopard represents the will to never give up. It showed the people that there would always be hope, that victory could be achieved." Mom explains.
"What about the dragon?" I ask.
"The dragon represents the vast wisdom that lies deep within us all. The dragon was the rarest creature to ever become a sacred beast of light." Mom says. "Dragons were and are thought to be of legend, even back then they were rare creatures to come across. As you know some dragons such as the Earth Dragon, can acquire life through spiritual power." She says. "The dragon that became a sacred beast of light was one of the last of its kind, and was said to use its strength to protect the second sacred beast." Mom says.
"Whatever happened to the sacred beasts?" I ask.
"When the light wolf sealed away both light and dark energy, all spiritual animals had been sealed away as well. The sacred beasts had also been sealed away, but they will soon awaken." Mom says.
"How can you tell?" I ask.
"The nightmare you had was a warning from one of the beasts. One of the sacred beasts has chosen you to protect, and to save its friend." Mom says.
"Sky?!" I gasp.
"Yes, but you must find the other five who are chosen by the beasts." Mom says. "They will be the only ones who can help you save Sky and Jura." She explains.
"Who should I look for first?" I ask.
"The easiest beast to find would be the other wolf." Mom says. "Legend says when the wolf of light is taken, the other wolf shall stop at nothing to save its loved one." She says. "It is late right now, the person who holds the other wolf spirit will most likely have a similar dream like yours. Though in reality, it would be Sky crying out for help to the person while they are sleeping." Mom says.
"How does that work, Sky crying out for help to the person from where she is?" I ask.
"The bond that the wolves share enables the two to call out to each other in their sleep, but only when one of them is in danger." Mom explains.
Realization soon hits me. "I know who the wolf is!" I growl, clenching my fist.
My mom smiles at me. Her eyes shining with vast knowledge that she gained while being held prisoner by Blackraven. "Yes, but he needs to learn of his power in order to save her." She says. "Kiba is already searching for Sora." Mom says.
"Kiba?" I ask.
"Yes, it means fang in Japanese. That is actually your cousin's nickname." Mom says. "There is another thing that you should know as well." She says.
"It's about how Sky and Sora have the same name, isn't it?" I ask.
"You are one of the brightest wardens my daughter." Mom smiles. "I actually saw the spirit of the star wolf the day before your sister was born. That wolf told me about the coming danger for your sister, but she knew that it would be impossible to stop the kidnapping." She says. "Fate had destined Sky to have her power awakened, and eventually lead to unlocking her full potential." Mom explains. "The reason why your sister has the same name as the star wolf, is because she held the potential to go even beyond the sky and stars above." She says. "Though Sky would have never made it so far without the help of those who accompanied her throughout her travels." Mom explains. "You were the one who Sky was always looking for. When she was terrified, you were the only thing that came to her mind." She says. "Tonight, all of the great light spirits will awaken, and search for you." Mom says. "You must lead them to save Sky." She says.
