New Life or Not
Chapter 22
By SolarBlueRose

I stare at him. Oh, how his heart has been tormented. My love you do not need this pain, but what about after
the battle. What if I do not live, then he will feel more pain. I need to tell him. "Darien, I need to tell you something."

He stares at me with wonder. "What is it?"

"I might not live after tomorrow. I know that Fate, Eternity and I made it seem like it would be hard, but we
will survive. We did it so you would not be afraid. Please don't tell the others. I don't want them to feel pain and be
distracted from the fight," I say dejectedly.

"No, no, it can't be true. It is not true. I won't let it," Darien says disbelieving

"You have no choice; I have no choice I have to do this," after I said that I left. I ran out of the park and left
him there, alone in the park. I can't start a relationship for a few hours and end it because of my death. No, I can't.
There is a small chance I will live and if I do, I promise I will be back in your arms forever.

At 4:58 in the morning the sun is suppose to be coming up and grazing everyone with its shine, but it didn't.
Today is the day of the battle and the sun didn't rise. The enemy should appear any moment now. We all met at the cliff
overlook the ocean. The dark energy seems to be emanating from there. All we have to do is wait.

Suddenly flashes of black light surround the area, a portal appeared, and a man appeared, Epicleas. "Well, I
guess you are here to battle. Come to my realm and see how you fair." He then turned and walked back into the portal.

We hesitantly followed Epicleas into the dark domain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon entering, we were surrounded by youmas. Eternity, Fate, and didn't care for them. We could not use up
our strength on these things; we left them for the scouts. We went in hunt of Epicleas. We found him in a throne like
room, kind of like Beryl's.

"Well, well, well, you think you can take me on. Today is the day of celebration. I have more power then thee,"
he exclaims egotistically. He sits on a throne with a glass of wine in his hand. Even though the room is filled with
darkness, I could see his jet-black hair and sinister black eyes. His clothes are black and forest green. His form shows a
evil aura.

"You think evil could win; well I don't" I yelled with determination. We will not let this creature win. I have
come so far in fighting evil and keeping the universe safe to let him win. I look over at my companions and I see the same
determination in them.

"Well evil will always win," he smirk and drank his wine.

"I don't thinks so. Through the darkness of evil, purity and goodness will always prevail," Eternity shouted.

Eternity you are starting to sound like my cape boy. I watch the enemy closely. I see in his eyes, it is filled
with mischief. He has something up his sleeve. "Watch it guys he up to something," I whispered.

"Yes I am up to something. Minions capture them," upon saying his command, all these creatures come towards us. We are out numbered, 50 to 3. No good odds.

"Enchanting Spiral Orb Come Forth and Dispel," Eternity yelled. A white life in an orb shaped comes out from
the air and into her hand. The orb twirls and the orb is thrown at the youmas. 15 disintegrated

"Light of the Universe Strike," Fate yells. A beam of light surrounds her body and comes together and releases
on the youmas, 15 were killed.

My turn, I yell, "Lunarian Dream Fire Disperse." A silver light is a misty fire-like ball comes forth from my
hands. I hurl the ball at the youmas; just like the others I killed 15.

I look at the others. Five were remaining. We all have the same idea. "Heart Purity Soul Disband." We form a
circle, in the middle of us three is a light, and it is aimed at the remaining youmas.

"Well now you faced all my youmas, you must be pretty tired. Well you can't rest yet, you have to face me,"
Then a hurling bright black light is thrown at us. We hurriedly think what to do; we weren't fast enough. The attack hit
us died on. We were scattered about the room. He powered another attack. Fates sends a mental message and we were
going to start the attack plan we came up with.

From the various points of the room we began to chant.

From the Light of Purity, we come forth.
As the Keepers of the Universe, we ask for help.
As Goddesses we need thee.
This evil has come forth,
We need power,
To keep evil at bay,
Help thy daughters,
In our weakened state,
We call upon the powers,
That is forbidden,
Power of Light,
Power of Bright,
Power of Heart,
Power of Might,
Hear the call,
Come forth,
And disperse.

Our eyes are filled with silver. Light surrounds use. We are is a triangle formation, in the middle is Epicleas.
Light travels from each of our bodies and forms a barrier. The light begins to fill the middle of our barrier, and
surround Epicleas. We begin another chant.


We are the daughters of the Universe,
We place forth judgment on this soul,
He has brought forth evil and dispels the seeds chaos,
This God is not worthy,
The judgment we place is,
Banishment,
To the underworld.
Never will he use his power,
For we drain thee of all birth right,
Never to bring forth harm,
For we imprison him,
This punishment has been placed,
Acknowledge and bring forth.

At the end of our chant, the light disappears. Epicleas has been sent to the underworld and the dark domain
turns to light. All his minions were sent down with him. The evil is gone.
