Chapter 15- Back To Belaria

Mini Bert walked up to the massive mountain, Grace followed behind him. A cold wind blew hitting Grace in the face, she cringed at the temprature, and got closer to Mini Bert to hide herself from the wind. "It's going to get colder the farther we go, if this is to cold for you I suggest you go back to pioneer 2." Mini Bert said sternly, Grace looked at him then stepped away from him, "I can take this cold weather, I just have to get used to it." Grace replied promptly as she walked towards the path, Mini Bert shook his head and followed her.

They were walking along the path up the mountain for at least 15 minutes, but it seemed that they had a long way to go. "Why is it so far away?" Grace asked, "I don't know, we should have been there by now..." Mini Bert replied, Grace looked at him suprised, "What? Then why aren't..." Grace trailed off in the middle of her sentence when the wind hit her face, "The closer we get, the colder it will be." Thats what Mini Bert said wasn't it? Then why hasn't the wind changed? "Mini Bert, we haven't gone anywhere, something is trying to keep us out, they made some kind of puzzle, no matter how far we walk we go nowhere." Grace explianed, Mini Bert nodded, and sat on the ground to think out their situation.

It had been 20 minutes and niether one of them had come up with anything. "We could destroy it." Mini Bert suggested, "How do you destroy something that isn't there?" Grace replied, Mini Bert didn't answer, he just got up and took out his agito, he began to think about how Rannu had taken Albert from him, then anger pumped through his veins, activating the Vengeance blade with a flash. Grace stumbled backwards at the sight of the transformation. Mini Bert brought the Vengeance Blade above his head, then swung it back down, the slash created a shockwave that moved the wind around him, and it was moving towards the mountain, Mini Bert waited in the same position for it to happen, then the mountain, trail, and everything else in front of them broke like glass, revealing an exact same landscape.

Mini Bert began to walk forward, not knowing how Mini Bert destroyed or even knew that it was there, Grace ran after him. "How did you know that was there?" Grace asked, Mini Bert shrugged, then looked at the agito strapped to his back, "I'm not really sure, but it felt like the Vengeance blade was telling me to attack..." Mini Bert explained, "Ok, what is the deal with that sword?" Grace asked, Mini Bert let out a sigh, "It's a long story but if you're willing to listen I'll tell you." Mini Bert said, Grace nodded. As they walked along the path Mini Bert explained how he came to own Albert's sword which was actually another sword in disguise, and how he had killed Rannu with one slash after seeing everyone around him being knocked unconcious, "I was flooded with fear and anger at the same time, then the blade changed...It's as if the blade feels my emotions and reacts to them, when I am content or happy it remains in its dormant form, but when I'm angry or afraid it activates." Mini Bert explained "Wow...It's almost like the sword is alive." Grace said, then she looked up from the ground that she was staring at, "We're here. Time to find out more about this sword." Mini Bert said as he jumped over a snow mound into the village of Belaria.
