Momiji: The Isle of the Last Leaf
Chapter 12
"Valdeiumentum?" I said, "that's a very complex name."
Eriol gave a light chuckle. "You can just call him Valdum. Sometimes I just call
him V." he said.
"that's one heck of a creature though" Touya said, "do you plan to ride on its
back?"
"No Touya, we're gonna ride INSIDE the shell." replied Eriol.
I looked at him, puzzled. "how?" I asked, while walking closer to it.
He turned to look at me and smiled. "go ahead Sakura, touch its back and concentrate."
I gave a sigh and did as told. I placed my hand gently on its transparent shell
and closed my eyes. Suddenly, there was warmth in my hands and it forced my eyes
open. I couldn't believe what I saw: the transparent shell of the porpoise started
to ripple, like water, and it gave off a spectrum of light. Slowly, and surprisingly,
my hand started to sink into its shell and beneath it.
"that's how." Eriol suddenly said.
He then came closer and did the same. Unlike me, who was so slow, he submerged
into its shell and inside its back. Inside, I saw him remove his shoes then come
closer to me. And then, he pulled me inside. It was cool and comfortable inside
and it wasn't slimy like I thought it might be.
"Sakura, you have to remove your shoes as to not hurt my friend." Eriol said.
I nodded my head and removed my shoes at once. Then, I stood up and felt the
softness of its back below my feet, I looked outside and waved to Touya. He
waved back.
"Shall we?" Eriol asked.
I giggled in excitement. "oh please DO!"
Eriol walked closer to the head, seemed to whisper something to it and we were
off. The start was slow but when we were submerged underwater we glided underwater
like we were on ice.
There were many sights under the sea. Large fishes, odd corals and shipwrecks
and more. There was even a time when we passed a place where the smallest of
creatures glowed a faint light. It looked like snow underwater except that it
just hung there.
Each time we passed a shipwreck, Eriol would explain it to me. What was its name,
what was it for.... you know, the complete history. They were such amazing ships.
I admit, we did see some treasures inside it but we didint get it. He told me
that some of it were cursed. I just don't know if that was the truth or he just
told me that to get my mind off it.
After a moment, we passed an undecorated part of the sea and there was just
silence between us.
"my, my, how rude of me!" he suddenly said.
"what?"
"why, look at you! you're all rags!" he told me.
I stood up and looked at myself. "rags? I feel quite normal in it."
"from a princess's point-of-view, THOSE are rags." he said and before I could
say another word, he brought out Iridyss.
"what are you planning to do?" I asked, moving slightly away from him.
"give you a bit of change!"
I didn't know if it was morning or not because I lost all sense of time in the
seafloor. I glowed a million times with the magic of Iridyss before Eriol could
be content on what I wore. At first I thought he'd make dozens of dresses appear
before me and make me put them on but, my clothe-changing was so fast that within
a blink of an eye I might have worn two or three dresses already.
"thank you, Eriol." I told him as I looked at myself. I was wearing an aqua-colored
dress with long and wide-mouthed sleeves and a flowing skirt. It was made of silk.
He smiled. "you're welcome."
BOOM!!
A loud, echoing sound riverbrated though the water. I turned (because Eriol was
already facing it) and saw a balck cloud just a few feet away from us.
"what's that?" I asked, getting closer to him.
"I don't know... it seems like..." he paused, "MINIONS!!" Eriol shouted, and he
got closer to Valdum's head and spoke to him in a language that I didn't understand.
All at once our speed increased and increased. We were so fast that all I could
see outside was a blur.
But lady luck wasn't smiling at us. The enemy was smaller and faster. They
caught up with us within mere seconds and under the dull light, that's when I
saw that they were sea wyrms with riders on their backs. I couldn't see more
but the shadows of the riders, because they werent so close to us.
Again, they blasted at us with what looked like a silver stream of lightining.
Eriol countered it with his own spells, without the help of the Iridyss.
"Sakura, whatever you do, don't get close to the shell." he told me, and I
moved towards the center of the small room to make sure.
Amazingly, one of their group caught up with us. That's when I got a closer
look on the sea wyrm's rider. Sea Devils!!! my mind shouted, and they were
truly devils. They had a deep-green colored skin, all scales; two sets of arms
that ended with webbed and sharp-clawed hands; a pair of webbed and clawed feet;
a hideous face with glaring red eyes, flat nose and a mouth(twice the size of
ours) fill with razor-sharp teeth and on their heads was a fin that ran all the
way to the back. The Sea Devils. I heard them many-a-times from sailors when I
was still with princess Chiharu, and what an awful sight they were now. All of
the Sea Devils were carring black-colored tridents. And from those tridents,
their magic came fourth.
Now, the Sea Devil that was able to catch up to us helf his trident aloft and
stuck it deep into one of Valdum's fins. Valdum's roar of pain shook the water
around us and almost frightened me but the Sea Devil was enjoying every second
of it.
Eriol now faced this creature that struck us and blasted him away. He was hit
on his side and left a trail of blood.
"hold on tight Sakura, the battle has only begun!" Eriol said.
