Chapter 10: Massacre and a mental world
~~~
Celcior hovered down, and touched the ground. All the monsters around him turned their attention at him.
He looked up and a low growl escaped his lips.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then...
Two monsters jumped and opened their mouths, revealing large tusks.
A man was watching at a safe distance. 'What a fool, does he really thinks he is a match for my monsters.'
One of the two monsters lunged forwards, his claws forwards.
Celcior caught them in mid-air and tossed him against a tree. The tree collapsed on the creature.
The others saw it and attacked. What a mistake. Celcior evaded the strikes, and returned the hits. He struck one on the skull and with a sickening cracking noise, the monster fell.
Celcior spinned and caught another monster, trying to sneak up on him. Like lightning, he snapped the fiends' neck.
Jenna and the others looked horrified. It was a bloodbath out there, and even more cruel then the attacks they used.
They saw him rip out a hart. What was he.
Mia returned her attention to Celestia. She was still unconscious. It was likely she wouldn't live to see another sun rise.
"What is going on here." They heard.
It where the elders and the villagers. "Why have you stopped fighting?"
They cautiously looked over the edge, and saw what happened out there. "What is that thing!?!"
Out there, a dark Celcior lifted a monster and used it as a shield. The creature died by the wounds caused by its allies.
"What is it, mommy?" a child asked. Her mother couldn't answer.
In the middle of a pool of blood, Celcior looked up and let out a loud roar. The creatures stepped back and Celcior drew his sword. It was a long, silver one.
He ran forwards, towards the tent camp. Of course, the monsters tried to stop him, but nothing could. Nothing would ever stop him. They had hurt her, the one who he trusted, the one who understood. The one he loved.
"DIE!" His sword soared through the sky and sliced a monster neatly in two.
A large, armoured giant blocked the road, but Celcior was furious. He jumped right over him, and threw a black energy ball to its back. It exploded on impact, leaving the Golem shredded in pieces.
Isaac couldn't believe it. That...that thing had been inside their village. This rampaging, out-of-control fighter. He was a killer, nothing more. A beast.
"Then, how come he helped us." He asked himself aloud.
"I don't know, Isaac. I... I just don't know." Jenna was petrified.
Then, they saw that two large, red beasts sneaked up on Celcior from behind. Their hands started to smoke.
Without hesitation, Piers cast Glacier. The Fire Golem fell. This caught Celcior's attention. He too threw an Ice attack.
"Wait, he can cast Mercury spells, too? Isaac, you told us he used Fire."
"Yes...he can do both. And probably Earth and Wind too."
"That is impossible." Ivan said. "No human can learn more then one type of Psynergy!"
"Look at him, Ivan, and tell me; Is he human?"
Ivan looked, and shook his head.
Meanwhile, Celestia was struggling to regain consciousness. She was fighting in her own mind.
----
It was pitch black. All she could see was her self. She ran and ran, but she couldn't say if she was making any progress.
'This is hopeless.' She thought. 'How am I supposed to find a way out of here. No, I can't start thinking like that.'
She urged herself to go on. She tried to go in a straight line.
After what seemed to be hours, she finally saw something. A little point of light. She started to go that way.
When she had reached the light, she saw it was a cave-like entrance. Or was it an exit? She didn't know. All she knew was, that wherever she was going to be, it couldn't be as scary as where she just was.
She walked through the opening, and reappeared in a strange world. She freaked out.
She was standing on a platform, hovering in a pink-purple nothingness. All around her where other platforms. Some with a lone tree on it, others just grass.
She turned around, and saw that the cave was gone. 'Now what.'
The girl stepped back and stopped when she reached the end. She lunged forwards. 'It's everything or nothing now.' She jumped.
As soon as she jumped, she regretted it. The next platform suddenly seemed to be way out of her reach. Yet somehow, she made it.
She moved on to the next one. The girl noticed that here, in this strange world she could jump more then three times of what she usually could.
She continued to move on, knowing that she couldn't stay there forever.
"Well, what have we got here?"
The girl looked up. A huge eyeball was hovering over her.
"What are you?" She asked.
"I am the wise one. Guardian of Psynergy." he answered.
"Where am I?"
"What is the last thing you remember?"
The girl looked down. The last thing she remembered? She didn't remember a single thing before she woke up in the dark world.
"I...I don't remember anything."
"Is that so? Not even your name?"
"Not really. Is that bad?"
"No. Well, yes. Because it is given to one at birth, and I hoped it would trigger your memories. A name often does that. It is how the mind works." The big eye said.
"What do you mean?"
The wise one sighted. "When a name is said, we immediately search for a connection in our mind. Something or someone we know that is connected to the name. It could have been years since you last heard of it, but it is still there. A name can be a powerful thing."
"It is a word. How can it be powerful?"
"Some words have more meaning to it. It is the thing connected to the word, that decides how powerful the word is. Cheese, everybody knows it, but what does it do? Nothing. It is a weak word."
"And what is a powerful one?"
"Love. Friendship. Hate. And a name, connected to one of these emotions, from your point of view."
She understood. But she couldn't believe it. If she couldn't remember her own name, what could she remember.
"Do you perhaps remember someone else? Anyone? It could be just eyes, or hands?"
The girl thought. Then, she saw something. In her mind. Eyes.
Two red eyes, gleaming. Terrifying. Yet she was not afraid. She felt warm inside.
The Wise One noticed. "You know, most people would be scared from those eyes."
"You saw it?"
"I read it in your mind. Why do you think you are not frightened?"
"Should I be? It didn't feel like it...he would hurt me. In contrary, it felt as if he would...keep me safe..."
The big eyeball nodded. "A name?"
"C...Cel...CELCIOR!!!"
It all came back to her. All her memories. The past events, the promises made, the path she had walked.
Celestia remembered all.
Everything suddenly cleared up. Her eyes opened. She was awake again.
"Where is he?"

Short chapter, I know, but I figured that if I continued to write in this chapter, it wouldn't be good. Don't worry. This chapter may be centred round Celcior and Celestia, but they are not invincible. Your real favourites will save them, if not in next chapter, then in the next.
I thought this would be a good end. Now, you probably know everything about my two extra characters, next chapters will be better then the past ones.
Capito Celcior.
I hope you enjoy it.
