Chapter 16
(Ikuto's pov)
*Training room*
Okay it is one thing to use the power of the sun and it is quite another to understand the power of the sun. You're going to have to focus on someone you love, or you will lose control of it, I tell Amu as we go the center of the room. Focus and use the sun's power to make a sun storm. The training that I have was shared when out connection. This means that you will be able to know exactly what to do by simply thinking of the attack or spell.
Amu stares at me and I allow her to use my powers. As her stare intensifies, she gains control of the sun, my arms move up and my hands form a diamond at chest level. My hands move in touching my chest and force outstretched and bright light leaves the diamond racing up towards the ceiling. A crash of sunlight burst around us as she tells in to calm down and she lets go of control my powers.
Good job strawberry, that spell was performed perfectly. I told her. Next you are going to allow me to use your sword power and you will use my sun power at the same time. We are going to spar using each other's abilities to get used to it.
But, maybe we should lock the doors? I don't want people hurt if the come in and see us, I don't want to lose control of the sun and you don't want to drown anyone either. I suggested to Ikuto.
Good idea I told her. I locked the doors and we sparred for about an hour and a half until we knew how to control each other's abilities knowing that we could help the other out in case of emergency.
As we unlocked the door, the gang was coming up and started their training session, Amu and I left to get some rest.
(Tsukasa's pov)
While everyone else busy, I decided that Kissa and I had to speak strategy and decide how we needed to continue our journey.
"I think we need to go to Nagareboshi realm. The fire orb may be there, and we don't exactly have a lot of time before Deava finds us. Now that we have Tadase, we will be furious and try to get him back. He will want his son back" I told Kissa.
"Does Tadase know that he is the son of Deava?" I asked Tsukasa.
"No, and I really don't want to tell him until we can get through him. I'd say it's time we go check on him and see what he has to say for himself and see if he will explain his actions" I told her as we walked down to the room where he was locked up.
"As for our next location to search, we will head out by tomorrow. I want to get ahead of Deava as much as possible and we have been here for over two weeks. Time to move on" I said as I opened to the door to the room.
(Tadase's pov)
It has been more than 24 hours since I was captured, I thought to myself. I feel sick. I need my medication! Don't these people understand? Dark-sama said I would die within 36 hours if I don't take it? Just then the door opened, and my uncle and some woman followed him in.
"Ojii-san?! I exclaimed. "Why do you have me locked up? Who is she? Where are my meds? I need to take them. If I don't, I'll die. Please Ojii-san.
"Tadase, why are you working for Dark-sama? Tsukasa asked with tears in his eyes. "Please don't lie to me. I know the truth and I know what you did to Amu's family!
"I have to kill that stupid priestess!" I shouted from my cell. "It is what he wishes, she must die to stop the princess from waking up, I must stop her!
Kissa steps forward and tell Tadase that Amu will not be killed, and they would protect her with their own lives.
"Then unfortunately I will have to kill you too Ojii-san" I told Tsukasa sadly. "But you (as I pointed at the woman) I have no remorse killing, now I need my medication, or do you not care of my death Ojii-san?
I watched my uncle walk up to me and place his hands on the bars, he muttered something and the next thing I knew I was falling asleep.
(Tsukasa's pov)
I watched him sadly as he fell asleep knowing that he was not boy I raised. I would have to work hard to protect everyone from his evil influence and to keep Amu away from him. She may have been meant to stop his father, but not everything was set in stone.
**Everyone at the dinner table**
(Tsukasa's pov)
"Everyone, I have an announcement to make, we need to leave this realm. I will stay back with Tadase, but you all will go ahead with Kissa. Amu you need to resume your search for the elemental orbs. I believe the next one might be in Nagareboshi realm. This realm is where Kukai is from. It is the home of shooting stars and therefore maybe you can find the orb of fire. You will not have a map, even though you didn't even need it for your water orb, you will need to feel this one as well. Kukai, your parents will be glad to see you and yes you are a prince but I implore you to continue your mission with Amu and choose not to stay with your parents" I explained to everyone sitting at the table. "Do any of you have questions?"
"Why do you have to stay with Tadase, Tsukasa?" Amu asked. "Why can't we just leave him here?
"Because he intends to kill anyone that is helping the "priestess" better known as you, Amu. All of you are in danger and I will not have you all hurt by my nephew" I replied. "Besides, one thing that none of you know is that Tadase is the son of Deava.
Everyone except Kissa used various exclamations and questioned why he would even keep that a secret and try to keep him safe.
"I know it's a shock. But I took him out of Deava influence, Tadase does not even know that he is his son. Deava has tricked him somehow and I think it's from the medication he is begging for. I think it blocks his real feelings and inserts servitude to him. This is why I need to stay here, to see if I can bring back the real Tadase. He isn't a bad kid; he just seems to be brainwashed at the moment" I explained. "So, please understand. Everyone meet me in my room in around 30 minutes.
**Thirty minutes later**
As everyone appeared in my room, I had the portal to Nagareboshi they looked upset and did not want me to stay but understood. As they all walked through, I closed the portal, moved my bed back to its right place and went to bed.
(Kukai's pov)
As we walked through the portal, I saw my home. I saw the stars in the sky and many of them shooting across the sky. Utau stood next to me and asked where we were supposed to go but I had no idea. I think Kissa was going have to take the lead on this since I did not know what to do.
Authors note:
I am hoping that if anyone of my older readers read this chapter, that they either go back and reread the previous chapters to know what is going on. To any new people thank you for reading my book.
Update for my family,
I know that in previous chapters my Dad was really sick, he has since gone to heaven in April 2018. It was not easy but I eventually came to grips and learned how to be okay without my Dad here. Have a wonderful day!
