Trinity of the Heart Part 1
Chapter 9
When we left off, Osara had found Mint and Rue in "her" room.
Mint: Ah! How'd you find us?
Osara: Hee hee, it was easy! Alak was trying to find you, so I followed him!
Right on cue, Alak came running into the room out of breath.
Alak: Mint! (gasp) Rue! (huff, puff) O-Osara is…phew, give me a second…
Osara: Hi big brother! ^_^
Alak: (wheeze) Osara?! (cough) How'd you find them?!
Osara: Well, your copy spell worked but you made a tiny little mistake!
Alak: W-what mistake?
Osara: Mint's hair isn't blue silly!!
Alak: Err, right…I knew that…
Mint: You idiot!!!
Alak: Sorry! My God!
Rue: Uh, less talking, more running!
Osara: Nope, it's too late for that Rue! Come're!
Osara ran at Rue, Blue magic flowing for her hands. Mint looked at Rue, then looked at Osara. She took a deep breath.
Mint: (I'm crazy…) Rue, watch out! (pushes him away from Osara)
Osara: (tags Mint, who is coated with ice) Ah dang! I wanted to tag Rue first!
Alak: Gah! Rue, Let's go!
Rue: M-mint?!
Alak: (grabs Rue and jumps out the window) I said let's gooooo!!!
The two fell from the highest point in the castle, until the hit a mountain of feathers at the bottom. Rue poked his head out from the mountain of feathers.
Rue: First, why did you grab me and second, where'd all these feathers come from?
Alak poked his head out from the feathers.
Alak: One, you were about to be iced and second, this is another spell of mine, the Soft spell.
Rue: I see…Mint…Mint has been turned to ice…(clenches fist) When I find Osara I'm going to kill her!
Alak: Cool down! Osara may be weird and a demon child but she wouldn't kill Mint. (I hope she wouldn't anyway…)
Rue: Are you sure?
Alak: (Not really…) Of course I am! Now, let's find Runis, shall we? I think the copy spell worked on you and me. Hopefully.
Rue: You don't seem to be very good at magic…
Alak: That's semi true…anyway…Let's go…
The two walked the streets in silence, until Rue finally spoke up.
Rue: Alak?
Alak: Yes?
Rue: Why did Osara have a picture of her killing you on her wall? I thought that was more disturbing then the voodoo dolls!
Alak: (confused) She did? What'd it look like?
Rue: It showed her casting a spell and you all bloody and a big black hole behind you.
Alak:…oh…
Rue: (I think he knows something…) Oh what?
Alak: When…when I was truly living, I was a very powerful Aeon.
Rue: I figured that.
Alak: Powerful enough to draw attention to myself. Valen wanted my power and so did Elroy. I wasn't sure what to do. I knew, whoever I choose, I would make an enemy of the other.
Rue: Yeah…didn't Elroy lock up Valen in the first place?
Alak: Right. That's when Osara came into play. I had been secretly teaching her Magic since she was 2. I didn't know Valen knew that. Nor did I know Elroy was my distant cousin…Elroy kidnapped Osara by telling her that he knew where our parents were. Then Valen took her after that.
Rue: Hmph…
Alak: She had become more powerful then me. Because she was only 6 at the time, it was easy for Valen and the other idiot to change her to turn against me. The last time I saw her, we battled…I refused to fight…
Rue:…(then, did Osara…?) Did she kill you?
Alak: (smiles sadly) Yes, she did. Her spells were too much for me to handle. I was dying in that picture, I wasn't dead yet. The last thing I remember is that black hole appearing and Osara saying, "I'm sorry big brother. I won't let anyone hurt mommy and daddy. Even you." I remember trying to tell her that I didn't want to hurt mom or dad, even though I knew they were dead, but by then…
Rue: She should be that ice statue. Killing your own brother…
Alak: If I recall, so did you.
Rue: !!!
Alak: Osara missed me though, after I was sent to Aceila. So she decided to stay in East Heaven, where the gate to Aceila is located. That way, she could be close to me. We couldn't contact each other but she liked knowing I was nearby.
Rue: Touching, really…
Alak: I didn't expect you understand Rue. You asked me, I told you. I don't think she killed Mint. She won't do that…
Runis: Rue, be a little more understanding!
Rue and Alak: !!!! Runis?!
Runis: Yep!
Runis came runnig at them from the other side of the alley. Rue and Runis hugged and Alak smiled.
Alak: (yelling) Osara!!! We found Runis!!! Game over!!!
Osara appeared in front of them.
Osara: That's ok…I don't mind losing…
Rue: Will you release Mint and the others now?
Osara: Umm…I'd like to…
Rue: (getting nervous and mad) But?
Osara: (staring at the ground) Um…I can't free Little Mel and the others…and there's a problem with Mint…
Rue: What?! What did you do?!
Osara: I didn't do it!!! I didn't mean to anyway…
Alak: Show us Osara.
Osara teleported them back to Mint's Room. Nothing had changed, except for the fact that all the puppets were gone.
Alak: Osara! Where'd Mel and the others go?!
Osara:…They came back, said they needed all my Angels and Puppets…
Alak: They?
Osara:…Valen and Elroy…
Alak: (frustrated) This is terrible! We have to find out why!
Osara:…They're going to battle someone…I don't know who…
Rue: We have to hurry then! Free Mint and take us to where they are!
Osara: Ummm…I can't.
Rue: WHY?! It's your fault she's like that!!!
Osara: (starts crying) I-I'm s-s-sorry!!! I forgot that M-Mint's body was made of f-f-flowers!!!
Rue: So? What does that mean?
Osara: C-cold kills f-flowers! I-I-I k-k-killed them!
Rue: (then…if the flowers die and they were her body…then…Mint's body died so then she…) WHAT??!!
Alak: Wait Rue! (dammit, I knew this would happen!) Osara, can't we just have Mint use Aceila magic, then Flora to revive herself?
Osara: If it was t-that easy…I did something bad I think…
Alak: How bad??
Osara: Mint…M-mint's soul isn't there…Valen took it!
Rue and Alak: WHAT???!!!! WHY?!!!
Osara: Valen said I had to stay here…and watch you guys so that he could have revenge on Mint…(leans against wall and sinks to the floor) I'm so sorry…
Rue: SORRY??!! SORRY??!! YOU'RE SORRY?? MINT!!(hits wall with his fist a few times) Mint! No…no no no…
Alak: Ok, this is an easy fix! We just have to find Valen and get Mint back! How hard will that be?
Rue:…Mint…
Back in Carona, Maya and the others found it deserted…
Maya: Where si everyone?!
Rod: I don't like this one bit…
Belle: Duke and I looked everywhere! There isn't a pollywog for miles!
Maya: What's happening…? (Mint and I…East Heaven…towns set on fire…now this…)
Young Man: I believe we can answer that!!
Everyone turned around to see the girl and man from Sivar.
Maya: How…?
Girl: How isn't what you should ask!
Man: You should ask, what!
Maya: Why?
Man: What, as in, what are we going to do to you? That what…
Author's Note: a little short but oh well. Next chapter, the search for mint and these new weirdos battle!
