Ch 10
While Stormy thought about her travel plans, all of a sudden the lights flickered and then went out completely. Stormy rushed to the window and saw that the whole neighborhood was blacked out. She also saw everyone and everything frozen in place. Stormy frowned deeply, 'Great, just what I need right now.'
'Come now Stormy, do you honestly think that this is an actual coincidence?' a voice asked from out of nowhere. 'The master wants you to come to him now, it's time.'
'Hey, priestess, I go where I want to go, no one tells me where I go or when, you got it. So, you can relay that to your so called master.' Stormy shot back mentally.
'I'd suggest you to reconsider your attitude and tone, unless of course you want to experience his wrath again.' the dark priestess warned.
'Look, I'm not afraid of him or what he can do. He already knows I'm on my way there, so why does he want to see me now anyway?' Stormy inquired.
'He just wants to know if you're still loyal to him, and also to see if you'll still carry out your part of the plan.' the dark priestess answered.
'Hey, I said I would, so just get off my back. I'll get there when I get there, no sooner no later.' Stormy shot back as she felt her anger rise.
'Just see to it that you remember whose side you're on.' the dark priestess replied, 'The master will be waiting for your arrival. It would be wise not to disappoint him if I were you. Otherwise, if you do Stormy, then I'd hate to think what the master would do if he had to handle this himself.' the dark priestess replied as she finally disappeared.
Stormy growled as she clenched her fists and slammed them onto her window pane. She looked down and saw that what was once frozen started to move again. The lights came back on like nothing ever happened.
'Damn her! I can't believe she had the audacity to just tell me what to do. If I didn't have this bracelet on, then I could teach that so called witch a lesson. But as long as I still have it, I can't do anything to her or any of them that are under Draca's control. I wish I can take it off, but every time I try, it won't budge. There has to be a way to get it off. I just want to live my own life. Is that so bad?' Stormy thought as she gazed up to the sky.
Stormy shut her window and then turned around. She walked over to her dresser and stared at a couple of pictures that were sitting on top. The first one was a group shot of her family. She stared at that one for a while as a small smile crept upon her face. Then her gaze shifted to a second group shot, it was one of her and the friends she met that were now in Japan she was going to go and see. Stormy walked over and plopped onto her bed. She laid down and stared at the ceiling. A deep frown appeared upon her face, she wasn't sure of how she felt or even what she wanted to do. She felt torn between her friendship with the others that were in Japan, and what she had to do for Draca. Stormy's thoughts whirled around in her head for a while longer, and then finally she looked over towards her clock. She saw it was past midnight. With a deep sigh, Stormy closed her eyes and sat up. She opened her eyes and pushed herself off the bed, grabbed her bag and ran to the back.
Stormy gave a good look around and saw that the coast was clear. She closed her eyes and concentrated. A purple aura enveloped around her body and within a few moments she transformed into a dragon that was black in skin tone, with silver-blue eyes. Two horns morphed upon the top of her head, while another horn formed by her nostrils. Several spikes materialized all the way from the top of her back to the very tip of her tail. Stormy opened her wings and took flight into the darkness of the night.
Jamie woke up and groaned inwardly when she looked over at the clock and saw that it was the middle of the night. 'Man, I don't believe this. What the heck am I doing up at this time? It's not even close to morning.'
Jamie grumbled as she pushed herself off the bed and stumbled around a little since she was still half asleep. She walked from her room, through the hall and finally ended up in the living room. She was about to walk into the kitchen, but a blue light shimmered and it caught her eye. 'What the heck?'
Jamie frowned a bit in slight confusion and then shook it off when she felt some kind of pull that was in a way guided her to it. There was just something about that light which drove her closer and closer to it. Finally, Jamie arrived to where the light came from and it stopped as soon as she knelt down and looked under the sofa. She reached underneath and then pulled out an octagonal shaped blue bagwa mirror pendant, which was shaped like an armband. Jamie sat up and looked closer at her find. Her eyes narrowed a bit when she tried to get a closer look. Just then the armband floated from her hand and latched onto her bicep. 'Hey, what's going on? What's this feeling?'
Jamie tried to pull it off but it wouldn't budge. She then tried to quickly get up so she could get some help. But when she reached for the top of the sofa, Jamie felt a cold sensation which overwhelmed her and then she collapsed onto the ground and everything around her faded out.
'Now that Stormy has her bracelet, Brandi has the talisman, and Jamie is now connected to the armband, there are only two that are left to receive their "gifts" and then the first part of the master's plan will be complete. I'm actually in amazement that the master's plan is going so smoothly so far. By this time tomorrow, the second phase of the prophecy will be able to go into effect. The master will award me for sure.' the dark priestess thought in amusement as she watched Jamie a little longer before she vanished.
Kento frowned deeply as he tossed and turned in his sleep. In his dream, he saw things that were only described in fantasy books or movies. He saw from the cliff where he stood, nothing but dragons.
In the distance, there stood a half demolished castle, multi-colored dragons with a variety of shapes and sizes flew out from every possible opening. The castle itself stood upon a jagged mountain valley which was in the center of the entire area. In the sky there was someone that floated high above.
Kento squinted to try and get a better look of who it was. He was taken back in surprise, there wasn't just one, but two that hovered above it. The second figure was hard to see because the first figure blocked his way. 'What in the world? This is crazy! There's no way this could be happening!'
The ronin of Hardrock looked around his surroundings more. His mind swirled faster and faster as he tried to take everything in. 'What are those things? What are they doing? Are they actually fighting each other? Why? I don't understand?'
He saw a light colored dragon with four legs and full wings shot out what looked like some sort of light. But when the light hit, it froze the other dragon into a giant crystal and it plummeted down as it shattered into tiny shards.
Down towards the ground, two other dragons that had full wings and two set of legs fought against each other as they snapped at one another's throats.
In the sky above him, there were two sets of dragons that had four legs, full wings, and were dark in color fought each other. They dive bombed, shot fire, and tackled each other as they continued their fight.
'No way, this…This can't be real! It's too crazy to be happening! But it feels so real!' Kento thought in disbelief.
Kento whipped his attention back towards the destroyed castle when he heard a blood curdling cackle. "Yes! Yes! The merging between worlds is starting, and soon your world and this one will be one. Just like it use to be centuries ago. And It's all thanks to you, my ishoku hari."
The orange ronin frowned deeper as he tried to get a closer look to what the figure referred to. When he did, he barely made out what looked like some kind of crystal, but it was somehow shaped as a human? Kento was taken back again when he saw tears of regret that flowed down the crystal form's eyes. For some unexplained reason, he felt his heart as it went out towards the crystal figure. How cruel was it to have forced someone or something to even do something against their will? It wasn't fair! For some reason, he felt a recognition of some sort when he studied the crystal figure a bit longer. Why did this form seem so familiar to him?
Kento was so caught up in his thoughts, he didn't even notice one of the dark dragons that plummeted right towards him.
The crystal figure's eyes widened in concern and called out to him, "Kento, look out!"
The ronin of Hardrock snapped out of his thoughts, he barely caught the sight of the dragon that was plummeting straight towards him. 'Oh man!' Kento put his arms up and braced himself for the impact. A bright light emitted from above the castle, one by one the dragons that weren't injured dispersed as the light traveled closer and closer to where Kento stood. Just as the fallen dragon was about to hit him, the blinding light hit and then…
AN: Hey, sorry to those that actually read my fics. I didn't mean to leave you hanging for so long. I've been sick for a while and that does a lot for lack of motiviation for doing anything. I'm starting to feel better, so I'm hoping to get back onto the writing and keep getting better each time. So, enjoy!
