Final chapter everyone who has made it this far. Not super long, but hopefully very interesting. Here we go, one last time.
Nothing, that's all there was around me. For as far as I could see there was nothing. It was like space, but no stars, planets... nothing. I tried to kick and fight to see if I could get somewhere. It was cold, colder then anything I could have ever imagined. Then there was no air. I felt as my lungs started to scream out at me and burn like fire.
I slowed and gave just the occasional jerk. But, I felt such hopelessness. I curled into a ball and just tried to stay warm and conserve my breath for as long as possible. So there I stayed for what felt like forever. I was almost out of breath, out of hope.
Then I heard it. The voice. I was able to suck in a quick breath and felt heat rush through me. It was brief, but it was there. I cracked open my eyes and looked around. Still nothing. I felt the dark cold creep back in and knew air was going to be running out again soon.
"Fight!" There it was again. I got more breath in and felt intense heat around me. It surprised me and I opened up and looked around. Then I saw it. The tiny light floating what seemed like miles away. I only stared at it for a while. I didn't care. I was out of fight and didn't want to do anything.
"We need you back! Please!" That voice.
Rose. I felt my eyes tearing up and then I growled. I looked at the light and felt determination. I opened my wings and gave a flap. I knew I was moving but wasn't sure how fast. I kept getting closer but felt everything closing in again. I was about to give up again when I heard a new voice.
"You're strong, I know you'll be ok. Now do what you have always done; get up and fight!" I started to fly faster towards the light. I wasn't going to give up now. Rose needed me, Riley needed me.
"I know you'll keep your promise. I'll be waiting for you." Emmeryn needed me. I roared and started to practically claw my way towards the light.
"Just remember; I will always love you." I know. I know you will. I was close to the ball now. I reached out a hand to grab it when it fluttered away. I tried to move but felt the cold and the darkness close in again. I stopped and started to close up.
"No." I opened back up and growled. I then closed in on the ball again. It was harder and hurt much more, but I wouldn't give up. I had to get back to them somehow, someway, and I would.
"No Fear!" I grabbed the ball and everything went white.
"What do we do now?"
"For now, we wait. That it all we can do." Then they felt it. The pulse. The bright almost holy pulse. They exchanged glances before the screen on the table started to flash. The man swiped it and motioned for the girl to stay quiet.
"Yes, James, I felt it. What was it?"
"We're unsure, but I would like to send out a strike team to figure it out, if you'll allow me." The man looked at the girl who merely shook her head. He nodded to her and then turned his attention back to the device.
"No, I will send a team out to investigate it." Before the man on the other side could protest he hung up. He looked to the girl and took a sip of coffee.
"Go get your team. I brief you at the pad." She nodded and rushed off. The man lowered his head and gaze before letting out a sigh.
"This should be interesting."
After briefing them and telling them to put on their cameras the team loaded into the Bullhead. He headed back to his office to find another team he was very familiar with already in there waiting for him.
"I don't know anything as of right now. But, I do have some cameras is you wish to watch." He swiped the screen on his desk and four separate boxes appeared, each with the name of that member in it.
They landed and all filed out, weapons not drawn but ready. They exchanged some brief conversation before moving forward. As they walked the air became more and more misty but it was a strange green color. After a couple minutes they were startled and saw a Beowolf run past them.
That was the really strange part. It ran, most Beowolves never run. They continued until they came to a part where the forest was just gone. A small portion, but nonetheless it was gone. They continued until they came to a small indent in the ground and looked down. They flinched back when they saw it was a person at the bottom.
They didn't move for a while until the leader went down and towards the person. She pulled down his mask to reveal someone the rest of his face. They scanned around and found his weapons and his hat thrown about.
A large black great sword. A red kitana. Two meat hooks. A chain with a large spike at the end of it. A flintlock pistol with the word Emmeryn on the side. His hat was black with red markings and had the right side bent so it came back towards the middle.
On his hands they saw two strange markings. The one on the right was pulsing, almost like a heart beat. The left one looked like a mix between a knife injuring and a burn. They couldn't make out most of the marking but saw it had draconic wings on the side.
They just watched him when he opened his eyes and sucked in air greedily. He looked around with blood red eyes and settled them on the team. Black started to eek its way up his neck and onto his hands. He watched them and his harsh glare faded, as did the black coloring to him. His eyes changed from red to a dark, studious brown. He groaned and then fell back into unconsciousness.
They looked closer at him and cringed when they saw the injuries he had on his body. Large gashes from what looked like both swords or large claw marks. They weren't bleeding at the moment but the dark blood stains around them showed that they were at one point.
They exchanged glances before one asked the question that everyone had.
"Who is he?" Nobody said anything and just looked back at him.
"Let's take him back. Pick him up." One headed towards him and went to grab him when small purple arcs of electricity shot over his whole body. He groaned in pain and twitched slightly. Nobody moved until one poked him. They all sighed in relief when he let out a calm breath.
One hoisted him over her shoulders and they began walking back to their ship to return. Back in the office everyone was confused as to who he was and how he got there.
"We'll leave you to figure this out, professor." The students left their professor who nodded slowly. Once they left he went to the large window and looked out it.
"Damn." He rarely cursed and only did so when extremely stressed. And this was definitely one of those times. He looked towards the approaching ship and sighed.
"Things are getting much more interesting, that's for sure."
Back where he arrived something was watching in the shadows. It came into view once the team left with the man. It watched the departing ship and turned to enter back to the underbrush when it turned back briefly.
"I have a feeling we will be seeing each other very soon." It then turned green and faded away like it had been nothing more than a dream.
Where he had appeared the green light got brighter until someone appeared. She watched the ship leave with him and sighed.
"I did this to protect you, Avatar. Be safe." She then faded away, but knew her job was far from over. In fact, it was just beginning. She knew that very soon all hell would break loose. Only the Avatars would be able to stop it. She had to have faith in them, but more importantly, everyone else had to have faith in them. Otherwise Darkness would envelope them all and none would survive.
There we have it. It's all over. Don't hate me! There will be more coming I swear. This is the start to my Avatars series which will be kick ass! I hope. Anyways, thanks for reading this story you guys. Keep calm and may the Aura be with you all!
