Chapter 19
"I see that you're not talking in elvish, Elanjila," he said, with a little smile.
"Myrugi, what are you doing here?" Elanjila asked in shock.
He laughed a little, "As if I would tell you."
She stared at him. She didn't understand what he was doing. He had armor on and his sword at his side. The only time he would ever wear that is if he was going to fight someone or something. She looked to the ground. I don't think I will be able to fight him if he attacks me, she thought.
"Are you confused, Elanjila?" he said getting off his horse.
"I don't understand why you are here, and with your sword and armor like you are going to fight someone," she said still looking to the ground.
"Well you should understand. If I'm here with my sword doesn't that mean that I am your enemy?" he said.
Her eyes widen and she looked up at him. No. It can't be true. Please no, she thought. It felt like part of her was ripping apart.
"I see it comes as a shock to you. I guess our relationship has always been that way. On shock after another," he said.
She could feel tears coming to her eyes, but she held them back. She couldn't believe this was happening.
"Elanjila who's that?" came a voice from the entryway of the temple.
She turned to see Rain standing there looking at the both of them. Myrugi also turned and looked at her.
"So, you're the one," he said lowly, but Elanjila heard him.
"The one?" she asked him sternly.
Myrugi looked at her. He waved a hand and two dark figures came out of the woods. One of them was a male. He had brown hair that went to his chin and was very wavy. He had dark blue eyes that didn't seem natural. All of his clothing was brown and he wore little armor. The other was female. She had long red hair and red eyes. She wore tight black short and a tight green shirt covered with a dark brown cloak.
"Ravenous, Michalynn, meet Elanjila and Rain," he said.
"How do you know her name?" Elanjila asked getting mad.
"That's a secret," Myrugi said.
"You always seem to have a lot of secrets," Elanjila snapped.
Myrugi glared at her and drew out his sword. "Elanjila please grab something to fight with. I am going to attack you," Myrugi thought, knowing that she was reading his mind.
She looked at him. Why is he warning me? She thought. She looked around but there was nothing for to block herself with.
"Elanjila!" Rain called and when she looked over, Rain threw Elanjila her sword. Elanjila caught it and took it out of the case just in time to block Myrugi's attack. His purple eyes burned in to her blue ones. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his breath.
The others in the temple heard the fighting and joined Rain to see what was going on. They all stared in shock at what they saw, Elanjila fighting with a long blacks haired man with two other dangerous people standing by.
Trowa stepped in front of Rain and watched the other two people that didn't seem human. They seemed to be with the long black haired man. The woman looked over at them when Trowa moved. She smirked and brought out what seemed to be a whip. She jumped in the air and went to bring the whip down on Rain.
Rain backed up and fell over, but Trowa stood fast and brought up his arm to block the whip. He knew that it would hurt him but he didn't want Rain to get hurt. The whip went around his wrist and he knew it was going to cut through his skin.
Rain gasps as she saw some blood run and drip off the whip. Lithren went to bring out his bow but the man that was standing a few hundred feet away appeared right behind him. He punched Lithren in the back, sending him off of the stairs and onto the ground with a loud thud.
Elanjila looked over at where the sound had come from, then glared at Myrugi. "So you come to attack me then have your side kicks attack my friends and my brother?" she asked.
Treasa looked at her. She talked in English and not in Elven. Does she know this guy from somewhere? She thought he herself.
Myrugi laughed. "We didn't come here just to attack you. We came here to attack all of you, and if your not careful, you could be the first to die. Followed by your brother," he said. Elanjila looked at where Lithren had been. Ravenous had him pinned down and was straggling him. She could see he had some sort of force field around him because the others couldn't get to him.
Elanjila growled. "You bastard," she yelled and went at Myrugi, surprising him a little. Then she heard a voice come from inside her head.
"Let me take over. There is no way you will be able to defeat the enemy. Myrugi is only human but he has a dark aura around him, and the others are half demons. You have to let me take control of your body," came a female voice. It was a gentle voice, but very stern.
"No, why should I?" Elanjila asked her.
"To save your brother," the voice said.
"Alright," Elanjila said after a long pause. "You can take my body."
Myrugi backed up a bit when Elanjila started to glow and change form. Her blond hair went to a light black color, her eyes stayed the same but her cloths changed as well. From her usual traveling cloths to a long light gray dress. Elanjila long elf ears also changed. They grew shorter but still came to a point*. She also seemed to be floating.
Myrugi stared in shock at the scene before him. Elanjila is one of the goddesses, he thought. Know he knew why Benevolence wanted them to study on what the Goddesses looked like and what powers they had. But how could Benevolence know that the goddesses would be reborn? They would only be reborn if Umraug** was reborn, he thought to himself. It all confused him.
"My name is Seerota, Goddess of the first moon. I order you to stop this nonsense at once," she said. Her hair was flowing behind her like wind was catching it but there wasn't any wind. "This is not necessary, it's meaningless. You have no reason to attack them. They did nothing wrong."
Myrugi's mouth went dry looking at the being in front of him. She looked at him then to Ravenous and Michalynn. Michalynn looked at her and walked, almost ran, behind Myrugi. Ravenous just stared.
"Release him at once," the goddess said. Her eyes seemed to glow with anger. The force field around Ravenous and Lithren disappeared, but he still refused to let Lithren go. The next thing he knew, he was being thrown from Lithren, but no one had touched him. When he landed, he looked around. No one had moved from their places, but the Goddess had her hand out stretched toward him. Ravenous growled as Michalynn ran over and helped him up.
"Ravenous, Michalynn, come lets go tell our Lord what has happened," Myrugi said, putting his sword away. The two went to open their mouths to protest but he just waved his hand and said, "There is nothing we can do. Not against a Goddess anyways." He climbed onto his horse and turned it around. Ravenous and Michalynn disappeared into the forest. Myrugi looked at the goddess then rode off into the night.
They all watched as the goddess transformed back into Elanjila. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was looking for Myrugi, but she didn't see him. She sighed and looked the ground. Then went over to Lithren.
"Lithren are you alright?" she asked him.
He nodded but was giving her a funny look. She helped him stand up and walked him over to the temple stairs for him to sit on.
"Are you alright?" Treasa asked her.
"Yes. I'm fine. Why?" she asked confused.
"Because you are talking to us in English," Treasa said.
Rains looked up from trying to wrap Trowa's arm, "Yeah, you never talked English to us but then when that long black haired man showed up, you starting to."
"His name is Myrugi," she began. "I used to know him a long time ago."
