Chapter 13:

Destroy the Portal

(Aria's POV)

By the time I got there I found out that grandfather was already there.

-Grandfather?- I ask him. He was frozen and I notice that he knew who I was.

- Aria?- he ask me and he turn around. Went he see me I smile at him and I notice that he want to cry.

- I'm back.- I say and then he cry while he hug me. We stay like that until Arikado show up.

- How sweet of all of you.- say Arikado and I was angry again.

- Will you at least… give us some time before you spoil everything!- I scream at him and then I heard that Julius start to laugh.

- Now I know why she's angry at you all the time.- say Julius while he laugh even more.

- That's enough.- say Arikado.

- Grandfather… there's something that we need you to do.- I say and he stop laughing.

- What is it?- he ask us.

- We want you to open the gate.- say Arikado. Then Soma and Destiny show up.

- Break this barrier? It's definitely possible. But there's no guarantee that I'll have energy left to fight.- say Julius.

- Without your power, it's impossible for us to get through. They have to be stopped, at all costs.- say Arikado.

- … Well, I suppose this is an emergency… Fine. Stand back.- say Julius and we took some steps away from him. I was next to Arikado while Destiny was with Soma. I want to be with him, but I knew that he was in love with someone else. - Here goes.- and we start to rise his power. Until he make the shape of a cross. Then I feel myself going toward my grandfather.

- Aria!- scream Arikado and he embrace me and I grab him very tightly. Then I feel pain, my scar was making me collapse. – Aria, hold on.

- YEAAAAAAH!- scream Julius. Then the barrier was gone. And I was gasping for air. – Ungh… The barrier… It's gone.

- I'm sorry… - say Arikado letting me go but by the time he did that… I fall to the ground. – Aria!

- Aria!- scream everyone. Arikado got me before I could hit the ground.

- You're weak… that scar has curse you enough. You better stay here.- say Arikado.

- Aria, are you alright?- ask Destiny.

- She needs to rest now.- say Arikdado.

- Go already! There's no time for chitchat.- say Julius.

- Right.- say Arikado who lay me down and leave.

- Soma? Growing old as a horrible thing.- say Julius.

- Just relax. Don't worry. We'll take it from here.- say Soma.

- All right. I'm counting on you. Don't let me down, kid.- say Julius.

- I will.- say Soma.

- Destiny...- I say to her.

- Yes?- I ask her.

- Go with Soma…- I say finally.

- Are you sure? Yes. It's for the best.- say Destiny. Then Soma knee down and come to my hear.

- I promise you, that I'll come back for you.- say Soma.

- I know you will.- I say and with that they leave.

- He really loves you.- say Julius.

- I don't think so.- I say to him.

- Believe me I know. Went we thought that you die… he was so devastate. He never look at another girl. Every time he look at Destiny… he look at you. Then went he learn that you were in his head… he was happy because there might be a chance to bring you back. And now that you're back… he doesn't want to let you go.- say Julius.

- I wish that was true.- I say.

- Why are you doubting?- ask Julius.

- Because this curse… will kill me this day… unless… Soma… helps me… break it.- I say and everything turn dark.
