The end of the fight
Crash! Shalorin (I changed to this, the other one is too long...) and the spirit of fire clashed one onto the other. Fire burned the field contained by the 1080. I could barely sustain all that power. Shalorin's power was of... well, it was not one of the five elements. The attacks that it gives were usually bright when it was white and dark when it was black. Hao was still smiling while Elwynn looked tired. Suddenly, Shalorin shot at the spirit of fire's right side to create a crater. Water came out of it and washed away the fire and the field. Now, it was nothing but water.
"Do you think that small water like will weaken my spirit of fire? Chichnee na."
"I never did."
She jumped down to the water and landed right on the surface. Then, she performed another seal.
"Purify."
The polluted water became as clear as glass, and the stars that shined on the lake reflected all its light. Shalorin took her back up to its back and flew up. As if he was challenging her to a sword fight, he turned his spirit to a sword. Elwynnn transformed hers to a bow. She held the middle with both hands, spin it, and slid her hands to the extremity of the bow. At the moment she touched the tip it broke into two parts. She took out two swords, one white and one black, and merged them to one. It turned to a purple sliver sword. They were both up in the air and ready to fight again.
---------
"There are only two candidates left. The one from the Eleanor family got kicked out."
"I was hoping that. I don't like the Eleanor family anyway."
That were the things that Elwynn heard each time she was out. Yes, she was no longer a candidate for High Priestess and a member of the Eleanor family. She roamed free once more. The only thing she wished to find was Hao, but how could she arrive to Asakura family when my family took back her spirit? How could a 13 years old girl live alone when she knew nothing of this 'normal' world? She tried to find a job, but no one wanted to hire her because she was an exiled member of the Eleanor family.
She walked for a while with an empty stomach. After that, she saw a fluffy ball moving. She touched it, and it shuttered. It lifted its small head and revealed its three pairs of ears.
"Brooum..."
"What's your name? My name is Elwynn Ele... No! Just Elwynn."
She hugged it, and it reacted to her furyoku.
"You are a spirit!"
"Brooum!"
It used its little mouth and pulled her toward a dark alley. There she saw a white small creature, which had not really much different from the other one.
"Bree!"
She took both of them in her arms and used her furyoku to heal them. They nourished on her power.
"Are you guys ok now?"
"Brooum!"
"Bree!"
"Can you do me a favor? Can you lend me your power to go to Japan? It'll be a long trip..."
"Bree!"
It used her furyoku, transformed to a beautiful bird like animal, let them on it, and flew away.
---------
"What are you thinking? You aren't concentrating."
"Nothing."
Ewlynn's sword hit his. She flipped backward and kicked Hao from the air to the water. When his sword touched the water, it created steam, and spirits' souls came out of it. Hao immediately flew back up.
"You'll have to do better than this to beat me."
His spirit of fire returned to its normal form and vaporized the water. Elwynn was ready for him. Just as she was about to strike again, Hao used a spell, which blinded Shalorin, namely the sword. At the moment it was about to be sealed, it disappeared.
"Was it time already..." Elwynn whispered.
Without any weapon, all she could do was to dodge the fire. Her furyoku was also at a low level for some reason, hence couldn't use any spell. BLAM! She was hit and crashed on the barrier made by 1080.
"You are weak."
Elwynn didn't say anything. She slowly slid back on the ground and fainted.
---------
"Japan! I'm finally here! Oh! Here's Asakura family!"
She went down and thanked her two spirits.
"Do you want to stay with me? I really don't want to be separated from you guys..."
"Bree!"
"Brooum!"
(Sometimes, I really want them to talk like a normal person... Cuz they are just too adorable!)
"Hum... I'll name you Yuki and you Loki!"
"Bree!"
"Brooum!"
"What a stupid naming." A black haired boy who was around five years older than her said.
"Don't say such thing, Yue." A white haired one said.
"What do you know, Yin?"
"I know a lot of things."
"Oh yeah? Then why is your hair white and mine black when we are supposed to be twins?"
"This is the mystery of life."
"Hum, excuse me, who are you?"
"None of your business."
"Yue! My name is Yin. This is my unmannered small brother, Yue. Why are you here?"
"I just came here to find someone..."
"There is no 'someone in the Asakura family. Just...!!!"
Yin held Yue's mouth and stopped him from talking.
"Who do you want to search?"
"H..."
She didn't have enough time to finish what she had to say, and ghosts appeared out of nowhere. Yin let go of Yue.
"Let's do some light exercise before we head to accomplish out mission, shall we?"
"Right behind you."
They both headed toward to ghosts and used Yin Yang (Oups! I just realized that I took Yin's name form Yin Yang... Oh well, hope that you guys won't be mistaken) jutsu to fight against them. They quickly got rid of them.
"This is not even enough for a harm-up..."
"We should go fight some more!"
"We have to get back to the mission, Yue."
"I don't want to go find a person that I don't even know!"
"But it's an order."
"Who cares about a person named 'Elwynn Eleanor'? Ok, she was a candidate for High Priestess, but who cares? At least I don't."
"The Eleanor family wants her back. It seems that she took something that belongs to them."
"But I never saw her before!"
"Just go. Oh! Sorry, I didn't even ask for your name yet."
"My name is... Elyria."
"That's a cute name."
"It's not good at all, Yin. You don't have to lie about it."
"I think that's a good name."
"I don't."
"Hum... Sorry, can I please ask what did that 'Elwynn' took?"
"Spirits, two sacred spirits of Eleanor family."
"Spirits? What did they look like?"
"Not too sure. But heard that it is really big and powerful."
"Why do you care? You know that 'Elwynn' person?"
"No, just curious. Then how are you guys going to find them?"
"That's why we are going to the Eleanor family now to get information. Oh! Who did you want to find? Do you need any help?"
"...Just a friend. It's ok. I'll go find him alone. You guys better go."
"Ok, it was nice seeing you, Elyria."
"I hope that we'll never see each other again... OUCH! Why did you hit me?"
"Just to teach you some manners."
"Hehehe!"
Should I go find Hao? Asukura family is after me...But what spirits? I did not bring anything but Yuki and Loki... Wait! Can they be the spirits that they were talking about?
She looked at the two puny spirits and shook her head.
Impossible. They are just too little. But wait! When Loki was flying, it was big and powerful... This is too confusing. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see.
She climbed up a tree near the Asakura house and lied there. She closed her eyes and decided to take a good nap to recover her furyoku.
---------
Elwynn slowly stood back up. Her fainting did not disqualified her because her other two members of the team were still there. On her way of getting up, she dispelled the 1080 barrier and took it back on her hand. By doing so, she gained back the furyoku that she spent on it. Her coming back wasn't really good for her. It would have been better if she just fainted. The spirit of fire continuously attacked her while Hao just smiled with evilness.
The others who were on the shore couldn't stand that at all. They all asked if this battle could stop, even the ten priests were like that. The most amazing thing was that Yin and Yue did not do anything but to watch that match. However, if they were to be more carefully examined, they wouldn't be described as 'doing nothing'. Both of them were holding their hands with extreme forces.
That was too much. That was the only thing Ren could think to say. He looked at the star mirror that Elwynn gave to him.
Should I give it back to her? Will this mirror help her in fighting?
"You disappointed me."
Hao was about to give her the final blow, but Ren instinctively threw that mirror to Elwynn. As if she was reacting to it, she quickly rose up despite all the injury that she had and caught the mirror. At the moment she touched it all her wounds were healed. She looked at Ren and showed no sign of appreciation. Yin and Yue instantly went to her to protect her.
"Yin, Yue, go away."
"Sorry master. We will have to disobey you. Please, leave with the star mirror."
"You guys weren't like this before... Leave, this is an order."
"I will not."
"Yin, talk some sense to your brother."
"Master, please understand our will to protect you."
"I don't understand! I'm begging you, please, leave this to me. I do not want anyone to fight Hao..."
"..."
"Yes..."
They left her side, and Elwynn unsealed the seal that she did on the star mirror. All her five spirits and Christopher came out.
"Elwynn! You scared us half to death!"
"Master Elwynn, don't ever do that again!"
"Elwynn-chan... Don't abandon us like this!"
"Bree!"
"Brooum!"
"Wynn Wynn! How dare you..."
"I know. But let's concentrate on the fight first. Hao will not wait until you finish disciplining me before attacking."
She looked at the one she loved and will love until the end of her life. The way she smiled hurt her. This was all her fault. If it weren't she, this wouldn't happen... Thinking like that, she held up her mirror, and gigantic pentagon star appeared. Hailey, Rethia, Edward, Loki, and Yuki were all at the point of the star.
"Distant from heaven,
The forbidden Eden,
Outlying from hell,
The prohibited spell.
This is the hour
That I lack in power.
Bath me with the strength of obliteration
Even if it means my own destruction.
At the end of this creed,
Please bring me the power I need.
I wish to become strong
To destroy the one for whom I long.
God of time,
Feel the endless power provided by my soul.
Let me gain back control
Of the power of time
This sin is because of me.
This devastation is caused by me.
My only wish is to undo everything.
For so long my heart is aching
Because I disobeyed your order
And I sincerely repent it here and ever after.
So please grant my dream,
May all be redeemed!"
The pentagon star turned to a hexagonal star, and Christopher went to the last point. As soon as he did, the star shined at Elwynn, who was in the middle, and gave her more power. The earth was trembling, and the lake was too. She long pink attached hair turned to pure white unattached hair, her purple eyes became darker, and her costume turned to a silky long white dress with purple ornaments. (By now, you guys should know that I love different costumes... and designing them too! So you know what the next will be: a new pic of Elwynn in her new dress!) She was like a goddess. Wind blew at her although there was no sign of wind. She lifted her mirror again.
"Summon, Shalorin."
It came to her. Unlike last time, all she had to do was to say two words instead of a whole chanting spell. She changed it in a sword and flew up. Hao had a weird expression on his face. He never saw her like this... She wasn't going easy like before. This time, she was going full force. She wasn't like her usual self...
"Wynn Wynn! Control yourself!"
"Master Christopher! Don't move from the star or her power..."
"Reithia! Don't..."
Too late. Hao heard them and aimed his attack to them. Elwynn wasn't fast enough to defend her spirits. BOOM! The star exploded. All her spirits were blown away. That shock dispelled Elwynn's current form, and she turned back to normal. She directly felt on the ground without using spirit control...
---------
Elwynn woke up in terror. Did her dreams always have to be this true? She stood up from the tree where she was sleeping. She was still sweating from the nightmare she just had. She had so much trouble controlling her heartbeats. Her two spirits went to her and tried to comfort her.
"Ely?"
That sweet and kind voice... It was just like Hao's... HAO!
"Hao?"
"Ely! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you."
"Why now? Why not before?"
"I am no longer member of the Eleanor family. I'm free to do what I want. But now, they are once more after me."
"Why?"
"They said that I took two sacred spirits from them. But the only things I brought to here were these two spirits that I found in Patch."
"Maybe it is they."
"I am not too sure... Hao... Did you miss me?"
"No, not really."
"But..." She looked at him with watery eyes.
"Of course I did. Not one day I have not dreamt about you."
"Oh..."
She brushed. She tried to calm her fast beating heart, and looked at Hao. His smile caused her to brush even more.
"I've something a mission to do now. Can you wait for me here?"
"I don't want to be separated from you... It's been so long since I last see you... I don't know if I can see you again if you are gone now..."
"Of course you will. Just stay here. I'll be back very soon."
"..."
He left her there. Just the moment she was about to rest again, Christopher came.
"Wynn Wynn, are you ok? Are you hurt?"
"Chris!"
She wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.
"You don't need to run away from me. I'll never ever do something that'll hurt you."
"..."
"Since you are here, I guess that you have found the two spirits that I set free."
"You set free?"
"You need a spirit to cross over, right? So I released them for you to cross over here."
"But why them? The Eleanor family will definitely be after me!"
"They are the only one lying around there. Who did you want to see? Is it the boy that you was with eight years ago?"
"No..."
"Then who, Wynn Wynn?"
"No one."
"I'll take back the spirits. That way, you'll be safe."
"But wouldn't they suspect you?"
"I don't think so."
"Will you come and visit me?"
"If I have the time. Listen Wynn Wynn, this world is full of danger. It is not safe to trust anybody. If you have a small problem, or anything, just call me, and I will be there for you."
"Thanks." She gave him a warm smile.
"Your smile is all I need." Why do I have to let her go? Why can't I just stay here with her? Why didn't she even bother asking me to stay with her? Doesn't she need me like I need her?
"Chris..."
"Yes, Wynn Wynn?" She looks worried. Did I show my emotions on my face?
"You will always be important to me."
"And you are to me." Why did she suddenly say that? Did I really... "I should get going or your father will be wondering where I went. Hope that you will be safe."
"Take care... And be careful..."
"I will."
---------
Elwynn didn't stay put. She crawled at her spirits and tried to get them back to health. Hao's spirit of fire was faster than she was. It quickly snatched three spirits and devoured them...
"Reithia! Hailey! Edward!"
Unwanted to see more of them devoured, she quickly went to the remaining ones. The spirit of fire wasn't full enough. It wanted more... It approached Elwynn and her remaining three spirits. She stood in front of them to try to protect them.
"Hao! Please... Don't take them... If you wish for more power, am I not the one you should take? My power far exceeds theirs. Please..."
He didn't seem to listen to her. More and more, it drew near her... Her tears came out.
"Hao... If you take their soul, I will never forgive you."
"Should I care for what you think?"
He doesn't want to listen to me... He... What should I do? This is just like what I predicted... All my spirits will die... just like the dream I had. And I thought I could change the future that I wish that will never happens...This is all my fault... Maybe if I didn't go easy on him in the beginning, they wouldn't... I killed them...
Elwynn took out a dragger and pierced in her heart. Blood flushed out of her fragile body. Yin and Yue wanted to go to her, but, since they were mere 'shamans' that Elwynn brought back with her furyoku, they couldn't do anything and disappeared. Hao didn't even waste a second and ran to her. Suddenly, the white bird of the Great Spirit flew to her, healed her, and disappeared. The oracle bell rang and indicated that this battle will be postponed. Nevertheless, no one minded it. Hao softly brushed her hair from her face and kissed her. Then, he took her with him and vanished.
