Chapter 14
Megami's POV
~~~~~
The first wave of attacks was over. It made everything seem so real. Before, there was a part of my brain that refused to believe in this world, the monsters, and even myself. Now, after a friend dying and my other friends endangering themselves against these creatures, there was no doubt within my mind. This place was as real as mine.
As a watched Rhiannon still tend to Armoron's wounds, my mind couldn't help but wander to the fact that they might perish in the upcoming battle(s) to preserve our existence. I tore my eyes away from them, seeking a happier sight.
They found one âE" Legolas. "How are you doing, melomin?" I just smiled. Somehow, only he could bring the comfort I was longing for. "As good as can be expected." I replied after a moment. His hand wrapped around my shoulder. "We'll get through this. The prophecy shall be fulfilled. We shall beat these vile creatures that dare attack us." At that, my blood began to boil. "I don't care about the prophecy! I don't care about this world!" Rhiannon and Armoron looked at me. It was not for what I had thought at the time, though. You see, without my knowing about it, I had begun to change. My hair began to darken, my ears mold back to their shape, and I was no longer speaking like a refined, wise, old woman. My form flickered between Elf-me and me (if you can understand that). "I'll continue on this happy journey with you for one reason âE" to get home! I'm not some run-of-the-mill damsel in distress, nor am I some prophetic elf! I'm me." My voice softened. "I'm Megami Setsuki. Nothing in this fairy-tale world, and no fairy tale elves can change that." The last comment I made was directed toward Legolas. I could feel his heart break as I said that. Sadly, it made me feel better.
I turned and began walking down a small dirt path. I was returned to my elven form, but my mind was still 100% me.

Rhiannon's POV
~~~
As I watched Megami walk down the dark path, every bone in my body wanted to rise and stop her. Something, however, stopped me. Maybe it was what had just happened. I mean, the change of Megami into an elf was a pretty drastic one in the first place. In fact, I still have a bit of a hard time believing, though I do accept it. But now, right in front of my eyes, she was changing back. She wanted to be what she was before. She wants to go home. I guess I never really thought about it until now âE" going home that is. I guess I looked at this like it was an exciting video game, and I was the main heroine. I'm not. I'm a girl, stuck in Middle Earth with people that aren't supposed to exist. I want to go home, and I want to go now. I don't want this crazy life anymore.
~~~
Megami's POV
~~~
I sat by a small stream. "God, how many of these are there in this place?" I sat quietly, thinking to myself. I tried figuring out the least dangerous way to get home âE" if there was one. Thousands of far-fetched possibilities popped into my head, but none were possible. Bu then again, this place wasn't possible, so maybe, my plans were.
Suddenly, I heard a small branch snap (thank God , or whoever is the Big Guy around here. . . Valar I think, for elven hearing). Little did I know that this would be my key out of here. "Who's there!" I called. I waited a few moments. "Show yourself!" Another moment of silence. "Listen guys, I don't want to make-up right now, okay? Just âE"" I was cut off by the intruder. It had decided to come forth.
I drew my weapon as soon as I spotted it. It was one of the creatures hunting us. "Do you think that the weapon you carry can defend you against me?" It sneered. I smiled. "It sure as hell worked the last time." It crouched into a fighting stance, as to invite me to attack. Being in the foul mood I was in, I took the offer. I rushed at the black form as he stood, ready for me.

Rhiannon's POV
~~~
The three of us began making a small fire. we sat and ate in silence. No one could come up with words to express what we were feeling. No one except Legolas. He sat, staring into the fire, his tears evaporaing from ther heat.
~~~
Megami's POV
~~~
I swung my staff at his head, but it was easily caught. No problem, I just willed it into a sword. Something happened, however, in the midst of its change. The creature mumbled a few words, and it stopped morphing. I stood there, dumbstruck. "Do you think you can outsmart me, little girl." It snapped my weapon in half and threw me into the stream. "Allow me to introduce myself, hated-one. I am Fenriris, leader of the Order of Maldorc. Highest sorcerer and most gifted in magicks. It will be a pleasure to kill the Banisher myself. My minions cannot do what I have expected of them, so I shall." He proceeded to pick me up by the throat. "Maldorc? The wizard guy that created you, right?" He looked me quizzically. "Yes." "And the Banisher, me?" He nodded. "Why âE~Banisher'"? His eyes seemed to sprout flames. He growled and threw me across the grass. "Because! You will banish my people and return this world to what it was before we came âE" before Maldorc created the evil that plagues this land!" He stalked over to me, picked me up, and proceeded to treat me like a punching bag. I could feel each cut ooze the life out of me with each blow that was given.
~~~
Rhiannon's POV
~~~
"Did you see that?" Armoron spoke to all of us. "Yes, she was changing back to her original state." Legolas sat by our campfire, staring into the flames. I could tell he was rushed by the fight that had just occurred. Megami never really snapped at him before. She had always been so kind to him. Both knew their feelings for each other and enjoyed each other's company. Now, Megami wanted nothing to do with him.
~~~
Megami's POV
~~~
He let go after a sufficient amount of blood covered his hands. I lay on my back, hurting beyond belief. But I was content. I knew that I'd be home soon. Away from this world, away from âE" wait, was I welcoming death? No! I want to go home, not die!
He pounced on me and smiled a wicked grin. I struggled for him to get off me. My actions were of no avail. I stopped my futile movements and looked up at him. I could see bones shifting in his skull. He was changing his form, but to what? I closed my eyes to get away from the sickening sight. "What a mess you have gotten yourself into, Megami." That voice! It was. . . no I couldn't of been âE" could it?
I opened my eyes. What they saw amazed me. "Valkeron." I whispered. "Poor little girl, got herself in quite a fix." He brought his hand to my face in order to wipe away blood and tears. He lowered his head to my ear and whispered to me. "Maybe she'll die." The hand on my face quickly moved to my throat.
~~~
Rhiannon's POV
~~~
"So, can I go see her now?" I wanted to see what was wrong. Okay, so I knew what was wrong, but I think I just needed to be there for her, We were, after all, in the same situation. "As you wish, Rhiannon. But be careful, you do not know the dangers out there." Armoron warned.
"There will be no need of that." I, along with everyone else, turned around to see the source of the voice. I couldn't see anyone.
A dark object rolled across the ground, and stopped right in front of me. I screamed. It was the bloody head of one of the creatures. "I present to you Fenriris, leader of the order of Maldorc." I looked back up at the figure standing in front of me and saw a huge, maybe even wicked, grin plastered across Megami's face.
~~~~~
Short I know, but I needed to stop there to make it a good chap. (Confusing? Yea, I know.) Next chap will be up soon. I finally know how it's going to end! . . . I think.
Well, hope y'all enjoyed. Please, be kind and adopt a little space on the review page, :)
