Realm of Sorrow
Chapter 3: Training & Scheming
Eight pillars of water dance and encircle Solar. He raises his hand to the sun, "Burning Fire!"
A blazing fire shields his lean frame and turns the water to vapor. A smirk settles onto his lips as he walks to a congratulating Taro.
The blonde beams cheerfully, "You did great Solar!"
The red head only shrugs casually. "It's no big deal. You on the other hand did outstanding. I mean eight columns on your first try is astonishing."
Taro's cheeks tint with a soft pink at the words. Solar turns to Yuki and Kaze, who are sitting on a fallen tree.
Solar had said that the safest place to train would be the forest, just as long as they don't get cocky and destroy everything. "Even though Taro and I have conflicting elements, we can synthesize the two to create a new element…in a way. But be cautious, they are unstable. Okay Taro let's show them, we can make two different attacks."
Solar locks hands with Taro and instantly a small fire springs up at their feet, blazing a bright crimson. Suddenly it shifts colors as the water joins with it, resulting in a vibrant blue fire.
"Now this fire is actually made of water even though it appears a flame."
Solar pulls his hands away and the elements vanish instantly. Taro's hands cup together with Solar's hands underneath his own.
In the blonde's hands a ball of water materializes. In an instant a small flame dives into the cerulean water turning it to a blood red color.
"That's very good Taro. Now you all listen, the water is actually fire now. When combining elements the mind must be void of emotions. That's why it's extremely dangerous."
As Solar turns back to Taro he smiles brightly. Without time to react the small glossy ball of watery fire shoots into all directions.
Solar's agonizing scream pierces the air as he falls to his knees, cradling his right arm.
Horrified at what he had caused Taro struggles to help Solar up to his feet. On the other hand Kaze and Yuki rush over but Solar merely waves them away.
"Kaze, you and Yuki are to stay and practice small things. Taro help me to the house. Better get something on this burn."
The clothing all down his right arm had been incinerated while his skin looked red and wrinkled, still sensitive to the touch.
Still ashamed Taro leads Solar away while Kaze turns to Yuki.
"So, do you want to start with combat?"
Yuki only nods in reply, taking some steps back, to give him some space. The raven haired boy inhales deeply, "Darkest Abyss…engulf."
Out of thin air a ball of darkness engulfs Kaze instantly. With a straight face Yuki crosses his arms over his black shirt and waits for Kaze's counter.
~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere~~~~~~~~~~
His short light brown hair sticks to the nape of his neck from the perspiration.
Takai spins in a circle sending his long purple hair in a twirl. A spiral of air slices toward Suru who in return raises a black of earth and rolls away unharmed.
"Okay that's enough you two, break time." comes the gentle voice of Takai's younger brother Rei.
The midnight haired Rei tosses them towels and sets down a platter adorned with glasses of water before exhaling a long sigh.
"I miss them…do we really have to kill them?"
"Of course Rei, since they obviously have chosen to side against Creator, we have no other obligation," comes the speedy answer from Suru.
A frown crosses Rei's features and his brother strides to him. Takai smiles gently. "Don't worry Rei; we won't kill them because they will see their mistake."
With that Suru and Takai casually walk away.
Rei sighs deeply, "If you both could only see that you are the ones making the mistake." he says to their distant backs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Needles of light explode from the ball of darkness, dissolving it. Stray needles fly toward Yuki.
With a dodge at the last moment Yuki jumps out of the way, landing uneven and falling onto his back. In place of the ball of darkness stands Kaze.
Concerned Kaze runs to his side. "Yuki, are you okay?"
Kaze moves to the side of Yuki and goes to help him up when his feet begin to sink.
His eyes widen as finally notices the purple goop beneath him, pulling him into the abyss.
Yuki shakily pulls himself to his feet. "Looks like I win, huh?" he says smugly. As a smirk crawls onto his lips Kaze's hand grabs onto his leg, dragging Yuki down with him into the abyss.
Unsuspected, the goop disregards Yuki's commands to stop and engulfs them, sending them into the dark void.
Kaze stands alone glancing around, afraid. That's when he screams, spins around, and pounces on the thing that tugged his long lunar hair.
Crimson and ice clash and Kaze is thrown off to the side, permitting Yuki to stand.
The short raven haired male brushes himself off while Kaze fumes. "Don't scare me like that!" he finally yells at Yuki, irritated by the other's lack of concern.
Yuki raises an eyebrow "You know, for a fierce looking guy, you're a pansy. Or is that an act."
Kaze's pale fist rams itself into Yuki's cheek; sending him to the ground and not letting him continue his onslaught of words.
"That's a good arm you have there Kaze. Just like your parents," a deep menacing voice complements.
Two pairs of eyes meet the black eyes of a 29 year old man with short white hair. He wears red pants and jacket with a black shirt and belt.
"My name is Riidaa, but I prefer to be called Creator. I've been looking for you two. Do you know where Solar and Taro are? I miss them in my presence."
Yuki growls low in his throat before rushing at Riidaa ready to blow him away with darkness. Time seems to slow letting Riidaa disappear and materialize behind Yuki.
A thunder bolt like dagger plunges deep into Yuki's left shoulder. Tremors erupt through his small frame as he falls to his knees.
Kaze steps forward only to stop dead. Giant thunder bolts surround him like cage bars, entrapping him.
Riidaa kneels down in front of Yuki. "I remember when I found you, Yuki. Like a bomb, ready to explode, so unpredictable. But that brat over there locked your rage away. So…my dear boy, I will se the real you free."
Riidaa places his hand on Yuki's forehead and chants in an unknown dead language.
The tremors jolting through Yuki's body cease while an aura of black erupts around him. Infuriated to a point of explosion, Kaze closes his eyes and the cage of thunder opens.
Surrounded in a white aura Kaze strides over to them, determined as ever. He pushes Riidaa to the side, cutting off connection between Riidaa and Yuki.
The black aura around Yuki dims to grey as he falls to the ground. Kaze lifts his partner into his arms while glaring at Riidaa. "Tell me what you did-No never mind just leave Yuki alone!"
Riidaa merely laughs, "I've only released the monster inside him. He will destroy everything, it is his fate." and disappears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~House~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solar lounges back on the couch waiting for Taro to bring some medicine. The distressed blonde strides back into the still disastrous living room.
"Taro where's the medicine?"
"Right here…"
Taro kneels by the couch where Solar sits and pulls out a gourd of water. Solar stares with a dull curiosity and disbelief.
"Water can't heal me. Now go find some medicine."
Taro narrows his eyes, "Sit still and shut up, I know what I'm doing."
The blonde uncorks the gourd and the water flows out, ending in a small orb in Taro's palm. Taro forces the water to lie evenly on Solar's arm.
Solar grunts but holds steady while Taro pulls the water down his arm slowly.
The pyro can't help but stare, shocked that his skin is back ot its normal color and tecture. "T-Taro…you did it!"
The blonde looks up, ultimately losing focus on the task before him.
In result the water spills all over him. "A-oops my bad…At least you're healed."
Taro stands at the same time as Solar and they both move at once, colliding with each other. Taro wraps his arms around Solar's slim waist as they fall.
Solar looks down at the blonde, "Thank you for catching me and taking the impact of the ground."
The fair haired boy smiles, "S-Solar…" Taro lifts his head up and pushes his lips against the red head's.
Solar pulls away sooner than expected. He stands and begins toward the door.
"I…Solar…I'm sorry. I…"
"Shut up Taro. We need to go check on Yuki and Kaze."
