AND: Hiya. Here's the next chappie, it does have a fair bit more description than my previous ones. I didn't realize it until I read through the chapters again, but I've been writing very little detail. It's a side effect from my Journalism classes. Sorry. Thank you, SA, for pointing the problem out to me.
On another note, is there anyone else who's going to enter my contest? I only have 1 entry. Time's wasting people. Enter today!
Righteous Fury: The Battle of Tears
"Self Fulfilling prophecy, indeed," Black Shadow muttered and attacked the three gathered warriors. Eva flew up, silver feathers a direct contrast to the inky tentacles. Lista leapt left, taking to the shadows to block her enemy's primary weapon. If she could stop him from using the shadows, then the other would have a great advantage. Aikka retreated in a flash of gold armor. Unlike the girls, he had changed the least. His armor had become a blinding gold, and a golden bow was sturdily held in his hands.
"You will not defeat me!" Black Shadow yelled at them.
"The last person who told me that ended up dead!" Eva yelled and summoned her crystal cuspis.
Aikka held his bow steady and pulled back. An arrow of light appeared in his fingers. He aimed and released. The arrow soared through the air and struck Black Shadow. Black Shadow growled and sent an attack toward the Naurasian. Aikka leapt out of the way.
Eva had risen in the sky and stopped. Pulling her wings together, she plummeted to the ground. Faster and faster se fell until just before she hit her target, she spread out her wings and struck out with the cuspis. A long gash was left in Black Shadow's side. She quickly rose into the sky again to dodge an attack.
Black Shadow roared in anger and sent a blast of his power into the shadows. Lista grimaced and held her control tightly. She had to keep it from gaining control of the shadows once more. Sweat began to form on her forehead. Slowly lifting a hand, she sent a separate wave of power into the ground.
After transforming for the first time, Lista had noticed a connection with the ground outside of the Elysian pit. She had asked around and found out that hundreds of years pervious, there was a volcanic eruption. The lava was just the type to become her namesake, obsidian. Lista smiled as she felt the connection to the sharp shards and pulled up.
Black Shadow screamed as thousands of tiny, sharp black rocks pierced through his inky hide. His eyes met the young Elon, who grinned at him. He growled and physically attacked her. Lista let out a small squeak and dodged out of the way. Lifting her hand, she summoned her whip and began to flail the formless blob's outer skin. Dark purple liquid oozed out of the multiple lacerations.
"Give up!" Lista yelled and struck out with the whip once more.
"Lista, back!" Eva yelled and dove once more. She had gathered energy into her palm and threw it downward. Quickly bringing her crystal cuspis about, she slashed away at the blob's outer covering.
"You will not win!" Black Shadow hissed and through the two females away with a wave of dark energy. Both crashed into the side of a building but got up with little injuries to their persons. Quickly moving, Black Shadow grabbed Aikka and through the golden clad warrior into the two girls.
"So this is the power of the Trinity?" Black Shadow asked in a mocking voice. "Pathetic. Looks like the seer-child died for no reason."
"You're wrong," came a familiar male voice. Toros stood at the edge of the battlefield. The Elon were fighting in pockets, with many of their leaders lying dead on the field.
"What?" Black Shadow yelled.
"Princess Cylan gave one last prediction," Ahn said from beside the large Crog.
"The moon shall shine bright and the great trinity shall seal you away once and for all. The Mother has no place for a dark son. You will cause your own death," Toros said. "That was her last prophecy."
Eva bowed her head as a new tear made its way down her cheek. Her free hand clenched into a fist. Her breathing deepened. She wiped her eyes and stared at her hand for a moment. She through her head back, black hair flying about in an angry wind. Her eyes glowed, not gold, but silver.
"This ends," Eva said softly and lifted a single glowing finger.
"What in the world?" Lista whispered.
"I only told Cylan about this power. It is the ultimate ability of the Silver Wing," Eva said and held the glowing finger above her head. "It is my tears that call the Mother!"
A beam of pure light shot from her finger to the heavens. The light began too spread and cover the entire sky. All beings looked up at the pre, warm light in shock and some in fear. The light began to fade, leaving something in its place.
The full moon shone brightly overhead.
Black Shadow screamed. The light began to burn his oily skin. Lista and Aikka looked at Eva as she motioned for them to surround the evil pustule. They sort of understood what she was trying to do.
"You have failed, Black Shadow. Your time is at an end," Eva said. "And to think, it was all because you killed our guide, who still guides us even in death."
"No more shall you threaten innocent lives," Lista said. "Your punishment will be decided."
"There is no life without darkness, you take it too far," Aikka said. "No being can be purely darkness."
"As the Trinity, Servants of the Mother, we ask for her judgment," all three intoned as one. A small silver tendril dropped from the moon and touched each of them.
A warm female voice spoke. "My three wise children, you have called to me to judge this one. I understand and see his crimes. Death and destruction hang about him as a dense fog. There is no retribution for one such as him, but it is not my way to kill. He will be imprisoned and remain with me for all eternity. So I have wished it, so mote it be!"
The tendril grew into the shape of a hand, which grabbed the struggling blob. Slowly the hand lifted the blob into the sky. The moon and Black Shadow disappeared from the heavens.
The Trinity looked on before reverting to their normal forms. They collapsed as one.
