A/N: **sigh** I keep on going back and forth on this chapter… please tell
me if it's good
or not… I'm seriously considering rewriting it .
Midday sun sent the salty waters of the ocean sparkling, as the swells crawled their
stealthy way towards the high cliffs, suddenly attacking in full force, then retreating in
shame from the untouched walls. Above this seemingly futile battle of earth and water,
the three siblings glided on the sea gusts.
During the previous night, Yue had woken Temichica, telling her of the presence that had
come and gone, to which she quickly agreed that it was their foe and then was the time to
make their exit while he was otherwise occupied. Waking up an extremely reluctant
Cerberus, they traveled all the way to the coast, and then glided along the coast, just
below the cliffs to make sure that they had shaken the pursuer.
"Temi-chan, are sure this is gonna work? The coast is a little too open for my liking,"
remarked an uneasy Cerberus, who, with the help of his siblings and lack of sleep, was
now as fearful of being caught.
"And a little too wet, no?" taunted Temichica, her first language slipping into her
home dialogue. Yue followed suit.
"Si, mucha agua fria!!!!," mocked Yue in his best scared child voice.
"SHUT-UP!!!!"
Temichica laughed, as they broke into an insulting spree in their home tongue. It felt
relieving to be chattering away in a language no one here knew. It unified them, set them
off in a world of strangers. It was a bond. A bond that would be greatly clung onto in the
next coming days.
All three went silent as the northern sky turned black, the spilled ink flowing south,
towards them, filled with the aura of their antagonist. The trio immediately dived for
caves carved into the cliffs, muttering (and in Cerberus' case, screaming) every curse
that they had acquired during their travels. From the sanctuary of a cave, they watched
the outside world turn as black as night. The rock walls were dimly illuminated by their
auras, providing the only light to be seen anywhere. And then, like a cloud, the darkness
and presence passed, leaving light to reign once again.
"Holy…crap…"
"Well, at least he gone now…"
"Is he?! It could be a trap, you cola cavesa!"
"Nah, he came and he went, no worries."
With that statement, Cerberus dropped off the cave's edge, falling before his wings
caught the stiff breeze. Hesitantly, the other two followed suit. They climbed through the
air, until the horizon fell below them. From there, they found that the mage's passing had
not been entirely peaceful.
Clouds of smoke swirled into the sky, as the whole village panicked and screamed.
Flames that had seemed to have taken a life on their own leapt from building to building,
burning the inside out. The locals desperately flung water at the torrents of heat, futilely
trying to extinguish the red Hell that had become their town.
Without a word, all three shot into action, Yue using his ice spell to coat the buildings in
the pathway of destruction, and Cerberus flapping his wings to push the fire back.
Meanwhile, Temichica flew high above, pouring out all of her energy to create the
typhoon that would be required to douse the Hell below. Yet, despite all of her efforts,
the clouds came painstakingly slow. Yue left his post on the ground and circled along
with his sister to draw clouds over the sky.
At last, the first drops started hissing into the fire, quickly turning into a constant torrent,
drowning out every last flame into nothingness. Completely drained and exhausted, Yue
and Temichica glided down to the ground, and collapsed on a curb on the cobblestone
street, listening to the intermingled hisses of defeat and cries of victory and relief.
A/N: Please be brutally honest here peeps! Does it need work???
