"Krylancelo, it is… good… to see you again. The time for anger in the same Tower has passed, and those at the Tower of Fang shall now welcome you back into our lives." Said the Elder of Fang, as he stared down at Krylancelo with the barest hints of amusement.
"Has it?" Orphen started, but was cut off by Roe.
"Yes it has, young sorcerer. There shall be little distrust between those of this Tower, and yourself. There is a much bigger crisis that comes, and be mindful that what is said in this room may not leave it." Rox Roe said, as he surveyed the others in the area.
Orphen, Lai, Hartia, the remaining Elders, and Roe, all stood in the room, there expressions grim.
"So, are you going to tell us this oh so important thing today or in another century!?" Orphen gritted out, as minutes elapsed in silence.
"Patience is a virtue you should seek to master, Krylancelo. There are two others that need be present for this meeting. They should be arriving soon." The Elder said, his eyes roaming over to a door.
Majic sighed as he sat down to dinner, his eyes downcast and his brow creased with worry. "Master and the others haven't finished that meeting yet, have they?" He asked Cleao, who sat down beside him and started eating her chicken.
"Wh- oh, yeah. Well, it is the Tower of Fang were talking about. I mean, don't they drag on and on with these things all the time? There probably just-" She started but was cut of when a burst of energy hit the outside of the tower, destroying almost all of the walls. Cleao and Majic had ducked under the table, and covered their heads with their hands. The others at the table were all in various stages of pain, as they had gotten hit by a few debris. A few of the younger students lay knocked out, and some of the older students were trying to get them to safety. "Ow! Majic, what just happened?" Cleao gasped out as she slowly unfurled her body and staggered up. "My head feels like bricks got thrown at it!" She complained, while clutching her bleeding forehead.
"I don't know." Majic replied, just as unsteady on his feet as Cleao. His eyes then widened when he saw a silver creature, with greenish scales all over it's body, come into what was left of the cafeteria. "Please don't tell me it's one of those." He whispered.
"One of what?!" Cleao yelled out, looking over at Majic with irritation. Her glare then turned into surprise when she saw how pale he looked. "Majic, what is that thing?" She asked, her voice clearer and quaking with fear as her eyes turned back to the creature. It was coming closer and closer to the people, and the other student's spells were having little effect on the glowing scales. "Sin Spawn." "We have to run!" Majic yelled, his voice not carrying over the spell casting.
"What'd you say!? We can help!!!" Cleao said then grabbed a sword from her pack. "C'mon, it can't be that tough." She said, as she got into a fighting stance with her sword.
"No… No you can't. Right now that thing is too strong for anyone, no matter how tough, to beat, Even Orphen. Those scales, they use Wall on that creature. Its a strong enough version that our spells won't go through it, nor will a sword. We need to run!!! Cleao, please! Help me get everyone out of here!" Majic begged, his eyes wide and nearly hysterical. For a moment Cleao contemplated what to do. Her hands were clutching the hilt of the sword until her fingers turned white, and her bottom lip trembled when she saw students getting flinged left and right by the rapidly approaching creature. "Light!" Yelled out a masculine voice that made both Majic and Cleao jump in surprise.
A thick ray of yellow light shot out toward the creature that made Majic's skin prick with apprehension. He quickly turned his head to the side, and saw Childman walk up to stand in front of himself and Cleao. "You're!" Cleao gasped out when she noticed the powerful sorcerer. A odd burst of light startled every ocupant in the room as they all turned to look at the creature. "Get down!" Childman yelled, as he ducked down, grabbing Cleao by the arm and Majic by the shirt, pulling the two stunned blondes with him. "I-it reflected the spell?" Majic said, his mind reeling with shock. E hajan aqbaldat uha uv dra SinSpawn du ryja dryd silr tavahceja bufan. Drec ec pyt, naymmo, naymmo pyt. Majic thought as he looked on at the creature. A few of the students had been hit by the blast and were knocked out. Childman was afraid that some of the younger ones would be much less fortunate than others.
"You two, get going! Krylancelo wouldn't forgive me if I let anything happen to the two of you!" Childman stated as he stood up, and glared at the creature that was only a foot away. "A-alright." Cleao stammered, as she saw other students running for a safer place. "We should follow them." She said, looking towards Majic. Majic slowly stood up, then looked over to Cleao. He wasn't really comprehending what she had just said. "You want us to run? What about Childman? It-" "You're the one who wanted to run in the first place! Even I can see that this thing is dangerous, so let's go! Childman will be fine, he has to be, alright?" She asked Majic, trying to look on the brighter side of things.
Majic looked over towards Childman as he placed himself in front of Majic and Cleao.
"Stop talking, and go! This isn't a battle for you two!" Childman warned, as he racked his brain for a spell to get rid of the creature in one go.
"Right!" Majic responed, then he grabbed Cleao's sleeve and pulled her towards the entrance.
Before they got to the room's exit, a odd, skreech sound was heard from the creature that had stopped suddenly. It's scales glowed silver and green in the growing darkness, and suddenly it released each and every one of those scales into the air.
Majic looked on in shock as one of those scales headed straight for Cleao. He pushed her out of the way, but gasped when…
Here is what was thought in Al Bhed. I hope you all like this chapter, sorry it took so long. I never expected one of the SinSpawn to have that much defensive power. This is bad, really, really bad.
