Author's note: I still haven't gotten any suggestions for a title for this
story.any contributions to it I would consider. Just a title..it gets kind
of annoying just looking at an untitled story.
Chapter 3: the Struggle
Lenore paced the room many times before the door opened. Lexy and Toolusa walked in with Thomas. "Oh no! Lexy, not you too! Father will come and kill everything!" she exclaimed running towards her and pulling her away from the two men. "I am not captured, but you are right about the killing." She mumbled into her clothes. Lenore let go. "Do you have a communicator? Or did you sneak out again?" Lexy asked. "I snuck out again without father's permission." She said. "Can you fix my communicator, then?!" Lexy wondered. "No, but if I get out of this room, I could open a portal." Lenore replied. Lexy and Lenore looked at Thomas and Toolusa standing in the doorway. "May we go home to tell father we will be trying to work this out?" Lexy asked graciously. "We will accompany you and that is the only way." Thomas responded. Lexy and Lenore looked at each other and winced. "What's the matter? Is he that bent on no peace?" asked Toolusa. "I'm afraid it's worse than that. He despises anything not from out realm." She explained. "I don't care about that!" Thomas snapped at them. "He has people of mine and they're in jeopardy!" he vented. "All right, then we'll head there for now." Lenore replied.
At the faerie village, Lord Kyoji impatiently awaited his daughter's message. While waiting he stared at the mass of soldiers frozen in place. "Why is it always men who are the ones stupid enough to get caught when they know we have magic?" Lord Kyoji asked himself. "You're right, they would never listen to me, so I went off on my own another way." Celes replied with a dagger to his throat. "Don't try anything funny! I know all of your tricks." She whispered in his ear. "Damn you imbeciles! I will never forgive your race." Lord Kyoji ranted and squirmed in her grasp. Celes tightened her grip and hissed, "And I will never forgive you!" A fae soldier snuck up on Celes and summoned his guardian. The guardian smashed Celes against the railing. The fae soldier ran and helped Lord Kyoji while he let the guardian finish her off.
When Lenore, Toolusa, Thomas and Lexy stepped through the portal, they beheld Celes being thrown around like a rag doll. "Oh no!" Toolusa gasped. Lenore and Lexy ran up the floating steps and tried to call off the guardian. Lord Kyoji and the fae soldier stared in utter astonishment. "How can you help those filthy species?!" Lord Kyoji asked incredulously. Lenore and Lexy glared at their father and went back to the task of finishing off the guardian. The guardian wasn't too happy about getting attacked, so it attacked back. Two giant fists came at both of the girls. Lenore managed to narrowly dodge the fist, but Lexy was slammed through the wall. Lenore stabbed the guardian's heart with an ice sword. Lord Kyoji ran to Lexy. "My, poor, sweet child, I am terribly sorry." He said trying to cradle her. Lexy struggled and finally managed to push away with her final strength. She somehow stood up and said, "This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your damned arrogant ways!" She started to walk away, but began to fall. A man with a cape and hood over his face easily caught her before she fell. Everyone stared as he waved and disappeared with her in his arms. Lord stared with hate in his eyes as Toolusa and Thomas ascended the steps. "How dare you come here!? I will never forgive you! Watch them all die!" he laughed insanely. "Stop it father! They did nothing!" she cried out.
Meanwhile, as this was all happening, the faerie people came out to watch. "What has come over him?" a random faerie asked. "If he doesn't quit, his daughter will have to kill him." Another said. Suspense filled, the people watched Lenore and Lord Kyoji argue with one another. Lenore set the troops free and opened a portal for them to scramble through. When only the villagers were left, Lord Kyoji realized what had happened. "How could you just let them leave?" he asked outwardly irritated. "You need to learn when to let go." She replied calmly. His jaw dropped in utter astonishment. He stared at her suspiciously. "They've brainwashed you haven't they?!" he demanded. "No! you just can't handle the fact that I'm not like you and I learned to forgive the humans that killed mother!!" she argued heatedly. "How dare you use your mother in a dispute like this!" he yelled. He muttered a chant and a ball of blue lightning came rushing towards Lenore. She barely managed to escape the ball and mutter a counter spell before she hit the ground. The counter spell merged with the blue lightning ball and re-organized the spell to hit Lord Kyoji with much more power and force. He wasn't expecting the spell to break through his barriers and was blown through a tree and a house; violently shattering anything around him and in the path of his flying body. Lenore watched in horror at his battered body and picked him up. She took him to the temple and nursed his wounds.
When he awoke, he saw the two men who had accompanied Lenore and Lexy , and Lenore staring haggardly at him. Her eyes grew wide and she began to cry. He looked at the bed next to him expecting to see Lexy, but saw Celes instead. He looked at Lenore and tried to talk to her, but he found he couldn't. Thomas went to draw some water for him. He came back and handed Lord Kyoji the water. Lord Kyoji drank several glasses before he was satisfied and could talk again. He went to sit up, but Toolusa made him lay back down. "Dry your tears, my daughter. I will heal eventually." He said calmly. She wiped her red-rimmed eyes and smiled. "I didn't so much force to go into the counter spell." She replied shakily. "You have become stronger than any of us could ever imagine. You will be a sage and powerful leader. " he said smiling. She smiled and asked, "Would you like dinner?" he shook his head and replied, "You need some sleep, let the village women worry about us two. He nodded his head at Celes. She nodded sleepily and was helped up by Thomas.
Before she got to the quarters, Thomas was carrying her to her bed. "My, what a caring one she is." Thomas said lovingly. Toolusa walked up behind him. "Yes, but she is not your to take, she must choose to be with you." Toolusa replied. "I know. I wish I could impress upon her more how much she means to me now." he sighed heavily. In the morning Lenore woke up feeling refreshed. She dressed and walked outside to find Toolusa and Thomas playing with the children in the village square. "If only I could tell him how I feel about him." Lenore told herself. "You can tell him." Encouraged the maid that overheard Thomas talking the night before. Lenore looked at her and nodded. "I will then! Thank you for the encouragement." She replied happily.
