1 Chapter Twelve…Asura to the Rescue
Edge found himself at the mouth of the cave. He rushed up the rope and told Setzer to fly them to the Red Wings. He complied and in moments they were at the battle scene. The Red Wings were just finishing off the last of the dragons. Edge jumped aboard the airship that Rydia was on.
"Hurry, Rydia! Call Asura! Edgar's in trouble and she's the only one that can help. Tell her to go to where he is." Rydia nodded and summoned the Queen of Summoned Monsters. She and Edge explained as quickly as they could and she nodded, saying she would go to where the injured king was.
Meanwhile, Edgar had grown tremendously pale. The bolt was still encircling his body, and appeared to be draining his strength. Sabin was growing more and more worried as Edgar was barely breathing had not even moved since being released from the pond. "Please be all right, Edgar," he begged silently. Then Asura showed up, making an astonishing entrance as usual.
She looked over the unconscious Edgar with worry. "Please help him, Queen Asura. I think he's dying," Rosa begged her.
"He is," Asura stated flatly. She kneeled next to him and began to chant in an inaudible voice. A few moments later, the bolt of energy disappeared. Some color returned to the king's cheeks and his breathing, although still raspy, became smoother. "He can be touched now. You must get him out of here. That bolt of energy was sucking him of strength and he should be taken from this place and get rest. Make sure to cast a cure spell on him every so often until he recovers fully." With that, she vanished.
Rosa cast an exit spell on the party, and they found themselves at the mouth of the cave, where the Falcon was waiting. Cecil and Sabin carried Edgar on board, and soon they were speeding toward Baron.
Edgar was cured, put to bed and made as comfortable as possible. Wounds were tended to, and then the others met in the conference room. Cecil and Edge described the final battle with the demon.
"If Sabin hadn't made up that plan to destroy him, who knows what would have happened," Cecil concluded. Sabin shrugged, saying that it was a spur of the moment idea and that he was desperate to help Edgar.
"At least he's been defeated. Now maybe we can have some peace," Kain remarked.
