Of Both Worlds: The Last Guardian

Chapter 15- Crimson Revenge

Dimensions slept peacefully, the night cascaded across the slumbering valley. Everything was quiet; the peasants and the guardians. Carme slept deeply until she woke up to a poisoning smell; smoke. She sat up to find that her room was encased in flames. She hurried into the hallway where she found Jack, just as shocked.

"Where are the others?" she yelled through the fumes

"I don't know but we have to get to the roof, now!" they both hurried through the ashes, to the top where they found the remaining guardians. Rhapsody put her hands to the sky and rain pelted the flames, putting it out. The soaked group stood and looked at their home; their palace; their life.

"Who would do this?" Charon asked looking at the damage. Flame nodded.

"It was probably Nyx" she stated flatly. Jack shook his head.

"Why would she do this?" he asked devastated. Carme spoke up angered.

"We figured her out and she does this?" she pointed to the ashen castle, "she destroys everything we know?" Rhapsody nodded.

"We can't let her get away with this; she has to pay" Jack looked hesitant.

"So we're going to go against all of our values and fight a guardian? One of our own?" Carme turned to him.

"Jack, normally I would agree but, anyone that does this isn't one of us" Charon looked grimly.

"And so it begins; a civil war" Carme motioned to the group.

"Guardians; battle formation" They rounded up in a circle and linked hands; praying aloud.

Earth, wind, ice, fire, rain,

Let battle garbs reign,

To protect the innocent and restore peace,

Garb us now with battle dress!

Light surrounded the group and faded, leaving them in battle costume. Carme stood in armor, enraged.

"Come we must leave; to avenge these flames" they faded into the night; determined to wage a bloody civil war.
