Raph and the others followed Caurus across the streets to the edge of the small city of Aether. None of them questioned where they were going. They all knew that this was important. Call it a gut feeling, but they all knew.
It became gradually colder as they neared a small hut at the edge of the city. Opening the door, the group couldn't help but gasp.
The room was shinning blue, and there was a door in the back of the hut that led to another room...and it was open.
And the blue light was coming from that room.
Caurus paled. "Oh...my Gods..." He whispered before falling to his knees. "The Caerulus Aurae has awakened......"
Behind him, the few warriors who followed also dropped to their knees. Murmurs were heard, rippling through them. "Awakened..." "The Caerulus Aurae..."
Raph ignored them. He had a horrid feeling that Leo was in here somewhere...
Slowly, Raph stepped into the room, slightly aware that his brothers and Splinter were following, but no one else was.
Raph slowly peered into the room and froze.
Leo was standing there, with his back turned towards them, watching a tiny floating crystal glowing.
"Leo?" He heard Mikey question beside him.
Leo slowly turned, almost as if in a trance, and faced them.
Raph gasped and backed away. He was dimly aware that the others were doing that as well.
Leo's eyes weren't their usual color. They were glowing intense blue, the same color as the crystal was glowing.
"Holy...LEO!!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!!!" Raph yelled, stepping forward.
Suddenly, Leo snapped his head to look right at Raph. Raph froze. Leo was looking like he was about to kill...
But Leo smiled. It was a sad smile, one full of secrets.
Then he spoke. Raph winced. Leo's tone was low and hollow. But what he said surprised them all. For he only said one word. "Aalus."
Raph stared, looking confused, when he suddenly felt someone seize him. It was Caurus. "GET DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, as he and his companions each seized one of the turtles, humans, and Splinter, dragging them down to the floor.
All this happened in just a few milliseconds. Because in the next few seconds, the crystal suddenly froze in rotating, flashed an intense dark blue, and suddenly, a huge flash of blue light exploded. (Imagine it like the atomic bomb or a bomb, you know the light)
As soon as the light exploded, the wind began to howl, picking everything up in it way and hurling it across the room. The whole hut quivered, and Raph thanked his lucky stars that the hut was built thick and strong, otherwise, they'd be buried in splinters and so.
But everything else was hurled around the room at such a fast pace that they shattered at once on impact. They shattered into teeny tiny fragments.
Mikey drew closer to Raph, and they could hear Casey cursing.
Leo, meanwhile, was just standing there. The things being hurled all avoided him, and the wind didn't even bother him. His eyes were still glowing blue.
Suddenly, the crystal flashed a midnight blue, and Leo's eyes returned back to normal.
Leo groaned and collapsed onto his knees, clutching his head.
&&&&&&(Leo's view)
The darkness was infinite. But the voices. Oh the voices...they had no end! They were crying, softly, but it was unbearable. And Leo knew that if he just opened his eyes, then he could see them. But he didn't WANT to see them. Oh, how he wished that he could just go unconscious or die or something so that he didn't have to listen to the crying.
But he knew he must open his eyes.
Slowly, painfully, he opened his eyes.
Only to be greeted by dazzling blue light.
It was shining everywhere, shielding his view. Leo was glad for it, but at the same time he was angry. The light itself was the reason the voices cried so. The Light was the reason he heard them. He was sure of it. But why?
The light suddenly wrapped itself around him, whispering in his ear. The cries softened until Leo could barely hear them...but instead he heard a soft, deep voice whispering in his ear. Leo knew that voice. He had heard it once before. Boreus.
"Aalus."
Leo didn't even realize when the word left his mouth. But he felt a sudden, great burden being placed onto him as soon as he uttered the word. A huge burden. One that was great and terrible at the same time.
Why?
The voices were back. They cried. He could hear them. But instead of crying for Boreus, they were crying for him. Crying his name.
Leo closed his eyes, but opened them again...And woke up to the world of chaos around him. Leo clutched his head. It hurt, but he pried his burning eyes open. And gasped.
Around him, there was blue light. And terrible wind. His brothers and friends were on the floor, trying to shield themselves against the terrible power of such a tiny shard.
Leo saw Boreus. He was standing next to him. Boreus looked at Leo before looking away. "I'm sorry." He whispered. His voice hollow and haunting yet at the same time, eerie calming. "I'm sorry for this. But this must be done. Forgive me." Leo cocked his head. "What are you talking about?" He asked, but Boreus paid no heed to the question.
"Listen to me. You must never utter the word you have just said. It will bring chaos. It IS chaos. But in case you do require it, remember these words: Salus Sanctus Aelus.... Salus Sanctus Aelus....salus sanctus aelus..."
Leo opened his eyes again and before realizing what he was doing, whispered, "Salus Sanctus Aelus!"
The shard immediately flashed sky-blue, before dropping to the ground. The wind decapitated and the things that were still being thrown, fell to the ground.
Leo stared. Then, darkness.
&&&&&(Others' view)
Raph watched as Leo looked around looking completely bewildered and horrified. Suddenly, Leo closed his eyes, before opening them again.
Then, to everyone's immense surprise, he whispered three words that sounded like Latin...but how did Leo know Latin?
But the stone seemingly liked the words, because it fell to the ground and the wind disappeared.
Leo blinked, before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed.
"LEO!!!!" Raph yelled, jumping up and catching him just as he was about to hit the ground. But Leo did not respond. He was too pale.
The shard flashed a peaceful sky-blue.
Caurus stood shakily up. "The Legend is true." He whispered, looking both frightened and hopeful. "The warrior has returned to help us. And the Caerulus Aurae has been awakened."
