Chapter 12: A Mysterious Past
Author's Note: Nightswift don't get mad, you see I was in the middle of finishing chapter 11 when I got your review, but no worries! *smiles* Pinky promise…
Julia finally fell asleep Tolaku sighed, "Poor thing." She picked up a robe on the way out to cover her pajamas and walked outside. "Didn't expect you to be here."
Crystal turned to face her old friend, "I can't sleep."
Tolaku walked up next to her, "You seem to be having trouble with sleeping lately."
Crystal shrugged, "I have nightmares."
"Oh really care to share," Tolaku said taking a seat on the ground. Crystal hesitated and stayed standing up.
"No, it was about my family."
"A family sounds nice," Tolaku said going into her own daydream, "I'm sorry I never had a real family."
"Me? My family was killed when I was six."
"What!?! They were killed! By who?"
"Uh…Bandits!!" Crystal said quickly and began walking towards the house. Leaving Tolaku outside, she sighed.
"Why do I have the feeling that she's lying to me," Tolaku muttered to herself hugging her knees, she stared up at the stars and the almost dark moon.
******
Crystal walked on the other side of the dojo, away from Tolaku. She couldn't tell her, she's never told anyone, and she would never tell anyone until she feels like it is time. She resumed to her thinking, but was once again interrupted by someone.
"What are you hiding?" She turned to see Ray standing there in a white t-shirt and sweats.
"That is not your concern."
"Yes it is, you and I a very similar."
Crystal arched an eyebrow, "How?"
He sighed and walked a couple of steps towards her, "Both you and I have magic in our blood. My grandfather told me this when I was young."
"That doesn't prove that I have magic in my veins!"
"Four years ago, when you were fighting Tolaku and used that sword of yours. That's when I knew," Ray said his eyes turning serious.
"Well, why bring it up now!!" Crystal feeling the anger slowly start to rise.
"There wasn't a threat anymore, we didn't have to fight."
Crystal took a deep breath and let her anger decrease, "Your right." He turned to look at her straight in the eyes. Out of her pocket she took out the hilt of her sword.
"You use magic to summon the power of Lightning Strike," Ray said pointing at the hilt Crystal nodded.
"Where is your magic coming from?" Crystal said looking at Ray.
He shook his head, "I don't really know. Where did you get yours?"
"One of my ancestors was a forest spirit," she held the sword in front of her, "She made a sword and put so much spells and magic into it making it invincible. Later down my line, another ancestor made the sword almost weightless, easy to use, but somehow, none of the younger generations could get used to its lightweight. Many wasted their lives away trying to master it and get it to turn into a sword instead of staying as a dagger. But only the chosen one will be able to fully master it and using it, will destroy all evil that roams the earth..
"Nice story, so I hope that you won't destroy your life trying to master it."
Crystal's eyes narrowed, "I will master this sword to take revenge!"
"Revenge? On who and why?"
"Can we talk about this some other time?" Ray just shrugged and followed her back inside.
*****
Kai struggled against the chains that held him to the wall. But it was no use, he sighed, "What's going to happen?"
The door opened and a woman with a medieval looking dress and long wavy brown hair, "Ah, so you are the one who defeated Sutekh."
"What? How did you know that!?!" Kai said struggling against his chains once again.
"Silly boy, we know everything!!" She came closer to him and put her hands on his forehead.
"What are you doing!?!"
She smiled, "We need you to do some errands for us." Immense pain shot through Kai's body, it felt numb, and then everything went black.
******
Max walked towards the girl's room. Everyone has had breakfast except for Julia he was worried about her. So he hopefully thought that he could get her to eat some food.
"I know she's depressed over Kai, but starving herself isn't what he wants," he said out loud. He opened the door and saw Julia seating on her futon staring out the window. He walked over to her and set the tray of food down in front of her and took a seat next to her.
"Why did it have to be me Max?" He looked puzzled and she continued, "I don't care about the damn prophecy I just want Kai back here safe and sound!!!"
"What prophecy?"
"The dum prophecy, I don't know all of it Damon told me a little. He said that I, the Jewel of the Azcolios, is the key to…….ah damn it I forgot!!!"
"Jewel of the Azcolios?"
"Yes?"
"Wait your Jewel?"
"Yeah, that's my name. Julia was given to cover my identity from Sutekh," she glanced at him, "You and Tolaku should have some kind of name too."
"Then why didn't Damon tell us?" He said thoughtfully.
"I don't know maybe he wanted you to figure out them yourself."
"Yeah maybe your right," he got up, "I'm going to talk to Ray and Tolaku. Meanwhile you need to eat something!" She nodded her head and he walked out.
******
After a while Ray decided he would try and do a little research on this prophecy Julia mentioned. After spending hours he still had nothing. He sighed and shut the computer off.
"There's nothing there," he stretched; he stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Ray? I think it's time to bring out that book," Julia said softly.
"The one from the bookstore?" Julia nodded. "Right, I think I put it in the closet." Julia followed him out of the room.
*****
Tyson sighed, "Man things are really dull around here now."
"Tyson, one of our friends was kidnapped. And that's all you could say!!" Tolaku growled.
"No, I mean Julia all down, Ray went to go research, Crystal is starting to space out a lot, and Max has gone somewhere saying errands."
"So, the past day was horrible, naturally everyone is depressed over that."
"Why aren't you?"
"I'm worried, that's all I'm going to say," Tolaku huffed.
"What errands did Max have to do?"
"We should rename you," Tolaku muttered.
"Name me what?"
"Curious George."
"That's not funny."
*****
Max walked down the street, "I know there's something here. Maybe I should've brought Tolaku with me." He stopped when he felt a very strong aura near by. He turned around to see Kai, and he was dressed in some type of armor. "Kai!!" He started running towards him but stopped when he unsheathed a sword.
"Warrior of Lightning….." he muttered. Then Max noticed that there was no light in his eyes.
"Kai!!! Your being controlled!!! Snap out of it!!!"
"You will die by this sword," he said getting ready to strike.
'I have no way to defend myself without my daggers, wait a second!' Lightning formed in his hands and he gripped them. The lighting shot out a bit forming two swords made out of lightning.
"Now tell me, Lightning. Where is the Jewel?"
"Kai!!! Please remember I'm your friend!!!"
"I have no friends. Now tell me where the Jewel is!!!!" He lunged at Max trying to slice through Max's skin. But Max blocked his swipes with his two daggers.
"You have to remember Julia at least!!!"
"I know no one with that name," he said sternly. Max was shocked, and he let himself get angry.
"DAMN IT!!! SHE'S THE WOMAN WHO LOVES YOU!!!!!!"
Kai hesitated, "Loves me?" Terpsichore appeared next to Kai.
"They're trying to fool, that woman does not love her enemy," she said softly to Kai.
He clutched his head, "I don't know!!!!"
"Don't worry, you'll recover your memories as a great ally of the muses!!!" Suddenly she felt great pain in her stomach. She looked down and saw one of the Lightning daggers in her body. She looked up at Max who was beyond angry.
"STOP FILLING HIS HEAD WITH LIES!!!!!"
She turned towards Kai, "Go and tell my sisters what has happened to me." She grew bright blue and faded away. Kai got up and grew dark blue and disappeared.
Max got up, still one dagger in his hand, "I think things just got sixty times worse."
