Chapter 9 : Dragon Fire.
"Cupcake where are you?!"Vi Screamed
" I´m here can´t you see me?" Caitlyn said
" NO! I can´t even see myself!"Vi screamed once again.
"Everyone calm down!" Morgana said" This is part of the Memory sharer!"
" Then do something Morgana!"That was Diana´s voice.
Darkness. Nothing to see and nothing to feel. The only thing that was heard was the screams of the guests of the party. It was starting to annoy him.
"SHUT UP!" Bane screamed and the noise was silenced" The program is loading. We are waiting for the M.S to fully charge"
"Andreas?"Sabrina asked " Where are our bodies?"
"In Morgana´s bakery, they weren´t moved"Andreas explained "Your minds were transported to the M.S where I can show you my story. Time passes slower , much slower , when we finish this it will have only took a few seconds so no harm will come to you mindless bodies. Now calm down and wait for the program to load. You are giving me a headache."
A few seconds later an explosion of light came. And suddenly the sight of a forest appeared.
"Wow" Chloe exclaimed.
Then the figure of Andreas walking by the forest appeared. He didn´t have any of the weapons that he currently has. He was holding a scythe.
"What the hell?"Graves asked" Aren´t you gonna show us your fall from heaven. What are you showing us?"
"Do you want me to show you year by year my fall in a totally dark abyss, that took a hundread years?"Andreas asked sarcastically.
"No, guess not"Graves said.
"Thought so " He said " This is a year after I crashed, Twenty years ago. I had already learned your language I also made an illusionto appear human so you wouldn´t attack me on sight."
"NO, Ravier , I am not sorry for putting Volendrug and Makan to sleep" Bane said " Nor am I sorry for letting Kozza and Zappo go"
"Um , Andreas , who were you talking to?" Leona asked
"My weapon" Andreas said calmly
There was a short silence followed by Vi´s voice "So you went Jinx on us?"
"My weapons talked to me" Bane explained " Like I said , they are Soul Weapons. They are part of me , they are sentient. Nevertheless , shortly after I crashed two of my weapons said they wanted to go on their own, and they other two said they were tired and wanted to rest. So I allowed them to do as they pleased"
Bane stopped dead on his tracks "The only one left is you Ravier" Bane said " But…. I know you want to sleep too ."
Silence followed
"If you say so" Bane said as he continued walking "Thanks, our objective is only a few metres away"
"I had started looking for the ingredients needed for the Kanri. I wanted to find the soul of my daughter. To see her one last time." Bane started saying sadly "After learning where I could find my first ingredient I started looking. A heart of fire."
After walking for a few minutes Bane found himself in front of a cave. Before doing anything else he transformed into his true self, and it started to rain.
"I know you are in there!" He screamed " Come out and face me!"
Suddenly the ground started shaking and fire came out of the cave. But Andreas was fast enough to react and jumped away from the line of fire. Then a dragon came out of the cave
"You dare attack me?" The dragon said " I am a mighty Celestial Dragon! I am one with the sky!"
" I´m sorry , but your death is needed for my quest" Bane said drawing his scythe " I will make sure your body is taken care of"
" You fool!" The dragon exclaimed " You don´t stand a chance!" Then the dragon jumped forward.
The fight lasted half an hour. The dragon and Bane exchanged blows and injured one another. But once the Dragon made a mistake Bane took the chance to bury the scythe deep in his chest. The dragon screamed and felon his back. While he was on the ground , Andreas jumped on top of him .
"This is the end of you my friend" He said rising the scythe " Rest in Pe-"
"NOO!" a sudden voice screamed " Leave my daddy alone!"
Suddenly a weak fire hit Andreas, not enough to hurt him , but strong enough to get him off the dragon. When he recovered he looked towards the entrance of the cave and saw a small child with her hands extended.
"Shyvanna!" The dragon said " I told you to wait in the cave!" He then stood on his feet and faced Andreas " Do whatever you want with me , but I beg of you , do not harm my daughter. She is the world to me."
"Father" Shyvanna said in a sad tone.
Andreas stood still for a few seconds "Your daughter ?". After the dragon nodded , Andreas sigh and walk towards him. He could barely stand.
"Get away from him !" The small girl demanded, but there was a hint of fear in her voice " I am warning you!"
Andreas put away his scythe . " I won´t hurt him anymore." As he said that he walked past shyvanna and put his hand on his chest " Stand still"
Then his hand started glowing and he closed the wound he had made on his chest.
"What´s your name ,Dragon?" Bane asked withdrawing his hand
"Durnehviir" He said
"Go back to the cave, Durnehviir." Andreas started saying " It will take a few days until the wound has fully healed"
"We can´t stay we are being hunted" Durnehviir said " If we stay we will die"
"No. I will protect you" Andreas said surprising Durnehviir " I harmed you so now you are my responsibility"
"Why?" Durnehviir asked " You were about to kill me what changed your mind?"
Andreas looked at Shyvanna and said "Because I was a father too. And she also meant the world to me."
Durnehviir looked confused for a few seconds but nodded. He walked back into the cave followed shortly by Shyvanna , who never gave her back to Andreas.
"What is your name stranger?" she asked
Bane realized he didn´t have one. He needed one.
"I don´t have one. For now calm me Bane:"
Shyvanna nodded and entered the cave.
"Well Ravier, we have a new job for now" Bane said " Yeah , haha , I am a dumbass"
" I will fast forward to a few weeks later " Andreas said "Nothing too important happened"
As he said that flashes of different situations were shown. Andreas defending the entrance of the cave from guards and mercenaries. Him taking care of the Dragon and Shyvanna giving food to him. He also taught her some of his attacks.
"You know" Shyvanna started saying " I still remember all you taught me"
"A shame we had so little time , there was much more for you to learn" Andreas said happily "OK. Here we are."
Durnehviir was standing in front of Andreas , his wound now fully healed with a minor scar to remember it , and Shyvanna was standing next to his father.
"Thank you my friend " He said " Now we must go , help you for taking care of us "
"It was my pleasure" Bane said nodding , then he looked at Shyvanna who had her arms crossed. "Is something the matter, darling?"
"No its nothing " She said with an angry tone " You are going to leave us. Like mother like everyone else."
"Shyvanna!" Durnehviir exclaimed , but Bane simply waved his hand at him.
"I am sorry ,darling" Bane said kneeling " But I have to go , I have a mission to accomplish"
"Come with us please!" She said grabbing his arm on the verge of tears " I don´t wanna lose you too"
"You were ssso cute Ssshyvanna" Cassipeia said
"Shut up" Shyvanna said
Bane put his hand on her shoulder " I promise you we will meet again."
"You promise?" Shyvanna ask
"With all my heart" Bane said.
After that Shyvanna hugged him " Goodbye" she said.
"Goodbye my friend " Durnehviir said
Shyvanna got on top of her father and they started flying.
"When I see you again " She screamed as they were flying away " I will be strong enough to defend my father!"
"I will take you up on that promise" Bane screamed happily , waving " See you later"
After Shyvanna and Durnehviir were out of sight , Bane´s bag started glowing.
"The Kanri? But…" Bane said taking out the sphere and inspecting it " The Heart of fire…. It wasn´t supposed to be a literal heart it was the determination of one!"
"You didn´t know?" Riven asked
"Sounds kinda stupid" Yasuo said
"The ingredient for the Kanri might be a physical one or a metaphorical one. It works on mysterious ways" Andreas explained
"Ravier I thank you for your help .. but you deserve some rest" Bane said " No, it isn´t that . This has proven to me that violence isn´t the only way to get the ingridients. Besides you deserve to rest"
Silence followed
"If I get in trouble I can handle it on my own. But you are tired, it´s Ok to rest." Bane said . Then he waited a few seconds. "Good choice. Have a nice rest."
After that Bane took out his scythe and poured energy into it . Then the weapon became a beam of light and it went inside the body of Bane. After taking a few moments to recover he stood up.
"This weapons that are resting.." Orianna started saying
"They are inside of me." Andreas explained " Waiting to wake up. I have allowed them to rest this much because they deserv it. Now let´s fast forward to two years later."
The last thing they saw was Andreas taking out the book of ingriendts.
"The next ingredient is…" He started saying.
And then the blinding light appeared again.
