Chapter 10: A Raven and A Siren
~*~*~*~
When it was morning, they ate some breakfast and continued their walk. They didn't have to walk a lot since the forest was almost gone; the brightness in it was far more than it had been the day before. They were glad they could finally see straight, even though they needed time to accustom their eyes to the brightness of the sun.
When they totally got out of the woods, they faced a sea. The sun reflected its shine into the soft surface of the waves. They could smell the scent of the sea. The warm breeze carried parts of the sea and got them to travel through the air. The wind pleasantly carried the waves from one side to another, dancing on top of the surface. The waves could go forth and back without resting, leaving a trace behind every time they walked and erasing it once they got back. Like a promise to the sand that they would always be there and like, every time the sea erased and printed a new trace they would remember their promise: not to ever leave the other.
The silence filled the air except for the little spots where the soft chuckles of the wind could be heard and also their little conversation with the seas. Lorraine remembered when her father, the king of the seas they lived in, would take her to the surface and tell her that those sounds were the delicate maiden known as the spirit of the seas conversing with the gentle knight also known as the spirit of the air. She remembered his words, his deep voice telling her in a whisper that those two were like a raven and a siren and that someday, when she would grow up, she would meet her knight, like he had met his maiden and that they would kiss, like the maiden and the knight kissed when they reached the horizon.
She had always wondered what her father had meant by that. He always told her that when she grows up she would understand, and she now knew that this was the day when she was already grown up. She looked beside and let a soft, shy smile cover her face. 'I have already found my knight' she thought, 'he's right here beside me' she thought, remembering that the demon beside her was Kuronue.
"How are we supposed to get to the fortress?" Kiana asked, shaking Lorraine out of her thoughts.
"Maybe Lorraine can open a path between the seas for enough time for us all to go through" Yoko suggested looking at Lorraine
"Can you do it?" Kuronue asked the siren.
"I'll try" Lorraine replied, unsure. She concentrated all her spirit energy and raised the waters in front of her.
The sea tears up in half at her command. Its waves slithered in circles making the sea go from a calm place to wild rising falls with the might of destroying anything in its path. A soft rain appeared. A long path started forming in front of Lorraine. She concentrated more and made the rest of the deep sea swallow the rain and forms a massive tsunami. The setting Sun glittered at the top of the newest spectacle at the evening sky.
~*~*~*~
A pair of gorgeous lilac eyes narrowed at the sight of the tsunami emerging from the darkest depths of the ocean of the dead. An evil smile shined from the top of an old fortress.
~*~*~*~
"You guys go ahead, I'll handle this for enough time for you to walk through" Lorraine tried her best trying to convince the others to go and leave her there. She better than anyone knew that she wouldn't be able to make it.
"Lorraine....if you do this....then, how are you going to reach us?" Kuronue asked, guessing what he feared.
"I'll find a way, now go. If I move, this will fall over all of us, so go now"
"Lorraine....are you sure?" Kuronue looked deeply in her eyes.
Lorraine's gaze stood firm, waiting for all of them to leave.
"When you reach the other side, send me a sign that can tell me that I can let this fall" Lorraine insisted, trying to ignore Kuronue's look.
"Ok, when we reach the other side, we'll let you know" kiana said and Yoko nodded
They both turned back and left, guessing that Kuronue would go after them in no time. But he didn't. He stood there, still staring at Lorraine in the eyes.
"Kuronue!" Yoko called from where he was when he turned back and saw that Kuronue was still beside Lorraine. Kuronue heard the call but didn't care about it.
"Go" Lorraine whispered softly.
"Take care" Kuronue said, kissing her quickly in the lips "Ai shiteru" he hesitated for a moment then turned back and left behind the others. Lorraine's face turned teary but she kept firm on what she knew she had to do.
~*~*~*~
After minutes of walking, Yoko, Kuronue and kiana reached a place where they could hardly walk. They kept on walking to find out why their feet felt stuck on the mud below them.
After a while they came to realize that it wasn't sand or mud they were walking on anymore.....they were now walking on dead corpses!
Bones, skeletons and recently dead corpses where everywhere. They could smell the disgusting smell of humans slowly discomposing. Every time they tried walking faster, they reached deeper onto the mud, like if some force where dragging them down.
~*~*~*~
Lorraine felt a presence behind her. She didn't dare to look back not because she was afraid of what would she see but for if she moved, the gigantic tsunami would fall over the heads of her friends. She could not risk it. Lorraine refused to look back to see who was there but she also regretted it, for a hand covered her mouth making her gasp for air. When she did so she swallowed some kind of sand that made her faint in the hands of her captor.
~*~*~*~
A fox's sensitive ears twitched at the sound of something rushing furiously towards them. The kitsune turned back and saw the majestic falls collapse from above the sky to below the earth.
"Run!!!" kiana yelled to the others when she noticed what was about to happen. The bat turned and saw what she meant and they began running, barely keeping up with their feet.
Kuronue suddenly stopped when a thought came to him.
"Lorraine!!!" he yelled, remembering that the only way the tsunami could have fallen was for her moving, thing that she wouldn't make on purpose.
"Kuronue, run!" Yoko yelled harder to his friend and partner who didn't seem to care for his life anymore.
They all ran, the wind blowing at their side. When they reached the coast, Yoko helped Kuronue get out of the grasp of the wild waters.
Kurama looked at Kuronue in the face. For the first time, he had it down. He was not catching his breath that Kurama could tell. Kuronue's face raised up and Kurama noticed his friend being half way to tears.
Kuronue felt it was his fault whatever happened to Lorraine. He somehow knew, he sensed that something would happen to Lorraine but he did nothing to stop it. He tried to stop thinking like that and focus his mind to find out what happened to her.
"Lorraine...." Kuronue sighed.
~*~*~*~
Lorraine woke up to find herself in an unknown place. She had cold chains on both her wrists. She wondered where she was. It was obvious that she had been held prisoner, and in a dungeon but....where? Then it came to her:
"The....fortress?!" Lorraine wondered out loud, "What happened to the others? If I moved before they were close to the coast, they could have drawn!"
Lorraine had such a mess of worries and questions inside her head until she heard some footsteps.
~*~*~*~
The heavy main doors of the castle in front of them, opened. They waited until they were completely opened and entered the bastion.
~*~*~*~
The door of the dungeon Lorraine was in opened.
A beautiful, familiar figure entered the room with a guard behind her. She had lilac eyes accompanied with long, straight violet hair. Lorraine recognized the guard behind her as the one who kidnapped her earlier and her as....
"Kiana?!?!" Lorraine said, shocked.
"I may look like my twin Kiana, but we are slightly different" The woman said, with an equal voice as Kiana, "I am Khalysta, also known as The Lost Sorceress"
"Mistress Khalysta, the guests have arrived" Another guard entered the dungeon and bowed in front of Khalysta.
"We will meet later then" Khalysta told Lorraine as she walked off the dungeon with both guards behind her.
Lorraine knew that those guests where Kiana, Yoko and Kuronue. She somehow had to let them know she was there and warn them of Kiana's lie. Only thing she could think of was:
"Kuronue!!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, hoping that at least Yoko could hear her.
"Lorraine!" She could hear Kuronue's voice fading, calling her name. She knew they where quite far away, but the thought that Kuronue had heard her comforted her.
~*~*~*~
Kuronue tried guessing where could Lorraine is but he couldn't since Khalysta entered the room they were in.
"Welcome, thieves. Make yourselves at home. Since it will be your last!" Khalysta said this as Kiana grabbed Yoko, turning both his arms to his back, tightly seized.
Yoko startled, tried to look back just to imagine that Kiana wasn't the one holding him. His worst fears came true as he saw the maiden he had become to care for, seizing him, betraying him.
"What?!" Yoko, still confused, asked Kiana.
"Haha, stupid fox. You really think I would help you?"
Yoko didn't answer. Instead, he yelled at Kuronue to leave while he still could and to look for Lorraine, before it was too late.
Kuronue did what Yoko told him to and left heading straight to where he thought the dungeons were.
"Khalysta, go after him!" Kiana said, still holding Yoko.
"Let's take care of the fox first, we can kill him later"
~*~*~*~
Kuronue ran, as fast as he was able to, looking for Lorraine. He hoped she would yell once more because if he called her, the guards would find him. Luckily, she did.
"Kuronue!" He heard her call him. He now knew where to run at. Kuronue got past some chambers until he found the dungeons. He search every single one of them until on the last one, he found Lorraine.
He kicked the door open and rapidly went inside.
"Lorraine!" Kuronue cried, pleased to see her again.
"Kuronue, Kiana is lying. She is the one behind all of this!"
Kuronue kissed her forehead and then began taking the chains out of her hands.
"I know"
Lorraine looked confused, but trusted in what he said.
Once they were done, they reached out to the main hall, where they met Kiana and Khalysta once more.
They had Yoko inside one huge crystal attached at the wall on the main hall. He couldn't move. The crystal was so strong he could not get out, at least not without help. Without them noticing, Khalysta raised her staff up high, reciting the same charm she used on Yoko, trapping Kuronue on another crystal equal to Yoko's. She somehow reached her hand inside Kuronue's crystal, grasping Kuronue's precious necklace out with her. Lorraine gasped and put herself on a battle position, ready for anything. She narrowed her eyes, sending a fierce look to her two opponents.
Kiana and Khalysta lifted her swords in a battle pose. Lorraine got her sword out of her belt and did the same.
The 3 sirens fought.
Lorraine had a hard time fighting with the other two sirens at a time but she knew she had to do it. After a while of fighting, Lorraine got the offensive place at the fight, thing that forced Khalysta to make Lorraine surrender.
They all stopped when Khalysta started to talk.
Khalysta made her long staff appear in the air and pointed it towards Kuronue's crystal.
"If you don't surrender, I'll kill Kuronue" she simply said.
Lorraine froze. Kuronue's voice was telling her to ignore Khalysta but her feelings said the contrary. She couldn't let Kuronue die, she wouldn't.
"I...I surrender" Lorraine whispered, falling to her knees and lowering her head.

Chapter 10: A Raven and A Siren
~*~*~*~
When it was morning, they ate some breakfast and continued their walk. They didn't have to walk a lot since the forest was almost gone; the brightness in it was far more than it had been the day before. They were glad they could finally see straight, even though they needed time to accustom their eyes to the brightness of the sun.
When they totally got out of the woods, they faced a sea. The sun reflected its shine into the soft surface of the waves. They could smell the scent of the sea. The warm breeze carried parts of the sea and got them to travel through the air. The wind pleasantly carried the waves from one side to another, dancing on top of the surface. The waves could go forth and back without resting, leaving a trace behind every time they walked and erasing it once they got back. Like a promise to the sand that they would always be there and like, every time the sea erased and printed a new trace they would remember their promise: not to ever leave the other.
The silence filled the air except for the little spots where the soft chuckles of the wind could be heard and also their little conversation with the seas. Lorraine remembered when her father, the king of the seas they lived in, would take her to the surface and tell her that those sounds were the delicate maiden known as the spirit of the seas conversing with the gentle knight also known as the spirit of the air. She remembered his words, his deep voice telling her in a whisper that those two were like a raven and a siren and that someday, when she would grow up, she would meet her knight, like he had met his maiden and that they would kiss, like the maiden and the knight kissed when they reached the horizon.
She had always wondered what her father had meant by that. He always told her that when she grows up she would understand, and she now knew that this was the day when she was already grown up. She looked beside and let a soft, shy smile cover her face. 'I have already found my knight' she thought, 'he's right here beside me' she thought, remembering that the demon beside her was Kuronue.
"How are we supposed to get to the fortress?" Kiana asked, shaking Lorraine out of her thoughts.
"Maybe Lorraine can open a path between the seas for enough time for us all to go through" Yoko suggested looking at Lorraine
"Can you do it?" Kuronue asked the siren.
"I'll try" Lorraine replied, unsure. She concentrated all her spirit energy and raised the waters in front of her.
The sea tears up in half at her command. Its waves slithered in circles making the sea go from a calm place to wild rising falls with the might of destroying anything in its path. A soft rain appeared. A long path started forming in front of Lorraine. She concentrated more and made the rest of the deep sea swallow the rain and forms a massive tsunami. The setting Sun glittered at the top of the newest spectacle at the evening sky.

"Lorraine....if you do this....then, how are you going to reach us?" Kuronue asked, guessing what he feared.
"I'll find a way, now go. If I move, this will fall over all of us, so go now"
"Lorraine....are you sure?" Kuronue looked deeply in her eyes.
Lorraine's gaze stood firm, waiting for all of them to leave.
"When you reach the other side, send me a sign that can tell me that I can let this fall" Lorraine insisted, trying to ignore Kuronue's look.
"Ok, when we reach the other side, we'll let you know" kiana said and Yoko nodded
They both turned back and left, guessing that Kuronue would go after them in no time. But he didn't. He stood there, still staring at Lorraine in the eyes.
"Kuronue!" Yoko called from where he was when he turned back and saw that Kuronue was still beside Lorraine. Kuronue heard the call but didn't care about it.
"Go" Lorraine whispered softly.
"Take care" Kuronue said, kissing her quickly in the lips "Ai shiteru" he hesitated for a moment then turned back and left behind the others. Lorraine's face turned teary but she kept firm on what she knew she had to do.
~*~*~*~
After minutes of walking, Yoko, Kuronue and kiana reached a place where they could hardly walk. They kept on walking to find out why their feet felt stuck on the mud below them.

"Kuronue, run!" Yoko yelled harder to his friend and partner who didn't seem to care for his life anymore.
They all ran, the wind blowing at their side. When they reached the coast, Yoko helped Kuronue get out of the grasp of the wild waters.
Kurama looked at Kuronue in the face. For the first time, he had it down. He was not catching his breath that Kurama could tell. Kuronue's face raised up and Kurama noticed his friend being half way to tears.
Kuronue felt it was his fault whatever happened to Lorraine. He somehow knew, he sensed that something would happen to Lorraine but he did nothing to stop it. He tried to stop thinking like that and focus his mind to find out what happened to her.

"The....fortress?!" Lorraine wondered out loud, "What happened to the others? If I moved before they were close to the coast, they could have drawn!"
Lorraine had such a mess of worries and questions inside her head until she heard some footsteps.
~*~*~*~
The heavy main doors of the castle in front of them, opened. They waited until they were completely opened and entered the bastion.

The door of the dungeon Lorraine was in opened.
A beautiful, familiar figure entered the room with a guard behind her. She had lilac eyes accompanied with long, straight violet hair. Lorraine recognized the guard behind her as the one who kidnapped her earlier and her as....

"Mistress Khalysta, the guests have arrived" Another guard entered the dungeon and bowed in front of Khalysta.
"We will meet later then" Khalysta told Lorraine as she walked off the dungeon with both guards behind her.
Lorraine knew that those guests where Kiana, Yoko and Kuronue. She somehow had to let them know she was there and warn them of Kiana's lie. Only thing she could think of was:

~*~*~*~
Kuronue tried guessing where could Lorraine is but he couldn't since Khalysta entered the room they were in.
"Welcome, thieves. Make yourselves at home. Since it will be your last!" Khalysta said this as Kiana grabbed Yoko, turning both his arms to his back, tightly seized.
Yoko startled, tried to look back just to imagine that Kiana wasn't the one holding him. His worst fears came true as he saw the maiden he had become to care for, seizing him, betraying him.
"What?!" Yoko, still confused, asked Kiana.
"Haha, stupid fox. You really think I would help you?"
Yoko didn't answer. Instead, he yelled at Kuronue to leave while he still could and to look for Lorraine, before it was too late.
Kuronue did what Yoko told him to and left heading straight to where he thought the dungeons were.
"Khalysta, go after him!" Kiana said, still holding Yoko.
"Let's take care of the fox first, we can kill him later"
~*~*~*~
Kuronue ran, as fast as he was able to, looking for Lorraine. He hoped she would yell once more because if he called her, the guards would find him. Luckily, she did.
"Kuronue!" He heard her call him. He now knew where to run at. Kuronue got past some chambers until he found the dungeons. He search every single one of them until on the last one, he found Lorraine.
He kicked the door open and rapidly went inside.
"Lorraine!" Kuronue cried, pleased to see her again.
"Kuronue, Kiana is lying. She is the one behind all of this!"
Kuronue kissed her forehead and then began taking the chains out of her hands.
"I know"
Lorraine looked confused, but trusted in what he said.
Once they were done, they reached out to the main hall, where they met Kiana and Khalysta once more.
They had Yoko inside one huge crystal attached at the wall on the main hall. He couldn't move. The crystal was so strong he could not get out, at least not without help.

Lorraine froze. Kuronue's voice was telling her to ignore Khalysta but her feelings said the contrary. She couldn't let Kuronue die, she wouldn't.
"I...I surrender" Lorraine whispered, falling to her knees and lowering her head.
