KIGALI
I dreamed that night. I dreamed a kind of dream I had never dreamt before. Series of images flashed across my head. A raven flew. A boy sat across a fire, shadowed by its flames. A white wolf howled. A girl with long, blond hair laughed. Two people holding hands by the ocean, their forms dull against the sunset. A blizzard in summer. Rain in Sahara. A blue feather. An itako necklace. A white hawk. A pair of orange headphones. A spirit...the spirit of... fire
I yelped as I woke with a start. Zoe was immediately at my side, asking what was wrong. I felt silly.
"It was just a nightmare. Did I scare you Zoe? I'm sorry." I hugged her small, lion cub form against my body.
"It's almost dawn, Key. Better get going." I nodded and dressed in my tribe clothes and put on the Nevermeltice in the form of an armlet that covered most of my lower arm.
"Breakfast." I grumbled sleepily.
"Where?" She asked, just as sleepily. I smiled.
"Let's go to the dining hall. Remember all the food?" She licked her lips. We ran to the dining hall, but there was no food out.
"What do these people EAT!?" I yelled in frustration. Zoe pointed out the kitchen door. We walked into a kitchen with none of the appliances I knew in Shallow Brook. No electricity. I looked around. There was a clay oven and many cabinets to store food in, followed by a large water pump on a sink-type container.
"Hey Zoe! Here's the refrigerator!" I exclaimed, pointing at a door withy a sign. "It's a walk-in! I wonder if they have Eggo Waffles...?" I opened the door and walked into a room that was freezing cold, there was no electricity, but the temperature outside made it cold enough. It was filled with different kinds of meat.
"No waffles." I sighed. I turned to look at Zoe. She was half-inside a huge cloth bag that said 'SUGAR' in big, red letters.
"HEY! Hey, hey, hey!!! Share the goods man!" I pulled her out of it she shook herself and started running around the kitchen like a powdery blur. "Uh-oh. Zoe, maybe you should refrain from eating sugar. I can handle myself. THIS is how you eat sugar." I grabbed a spoon and started chowing down on the bag of sugar. Zoe giggled in a sort of drunken way.
"Not the best breakfast in the world, but hey! It's food!" Soon, the bag was half-empty and we were both lying on the ground.
"Wow."
"You said it."
"Hey Zoe?"
"Huh?"
"What time is it?"
"Almost dawn. Like, right now."
"Wanna race to the platform?" I jumped up, she followed suit. The sugar rush kicked in, and we went zooming out of the dining hall like two bullets. We rushed around the cabins, across the path†but something was wrong. I suddenly stopped. Zoe followed suit.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's not right†its dawn. People should be coming out of their cabins right about now... but" She picked up on what I was saying.
"Where is everyone?" She asked, looking around. A breeze brushed a few leaves off the path. It made it look even more deserted. You could even hear crickets. I looked at Zoe.
"Let's go to the platform." We ran there, hoping to encounter Tabitha, but all I found was a note. I read the note, Zoe looking at it from over my shoulder.
Dear Finalists:
I am sorry for not meeting you at the platform as agreed, but it seems I have run into a sort of distraction. When you read this note, come to the arena in which the second test was held for the fourth test. If I were you, I would bring your items. Due to the circumstances, I will delay the starting time of the fourth test to mid-morning. I bid you luck.
Tabitha Black Star.
Then at the bottom:
Nagini was here. Kigali is a LOSER!
"WHAT???!!!! That little freak!" I boiled, but Zoe remained calm.
"Kigali, It will soon be mid morning, and we can't waste Furyoku, we might need all of it for the fourth test. We'll have to get the dog sled to reach the arena." I nodded. We ran to the kennels, which were empty except for the dogs. Many of them, mostly the ones from last time, pawed the walls of their luxurious pens to be let out. I chose my team quickly.
"Ok. Here's the leader. Blaze." I read from the gold plate in his door. I smiled and let him out. He immediately ran to Zoe, who was in human from by the sled, ready to strap the dogs up. I walked down the isle, opening the doors of the dogs I found worthy. "Winka" My husky friend licked my hand and walked calmly to Zoe. "Demon" The German-accented shepherd barked a greeting at me. "Sprite" The playful white half-wolf frisked at my heels before running to Zoe. "Rascal" The furry, brown mutt nosed my hand gently. "Rogue" The red setter ran skipped mischievously to Zoe. I looked for the last member of the team, and finally decided on a tricolor rough collie that was looking at me expectantly. "Lassie...? Ok" I let her loose and she immediately went to the lead position of the team, where Blaze was positioned. She barked at him once and he lowered himself on his belly, his ears pressed against his head in submission. Zoe looked at me surprised. I was amused.
"Let her be in the lead." I ordered. Zoe obeyed, laughing as blaze put himself on Lassie's right side. We ended up switching everyone around before we set off, but when we did, we were off at such a great speed that even Zoe was amazed. Lassie led everyone with a series of barks and yips. One ear cocked forwards and one back towards me. She followed my orders exactly, and all the dogs tagged along with her good-naturedly. They all seemed to like her, except for Blaze, who grumbled and sometimes snapped at her swishing tail. When Blaze had been leader, the team was weary of his impulsiveness and his knack to snap at those behind him. They were scared of him.
"It's funny. One would think that Blaze would be the best leader. He's the largest and strongest one of the dogs" I commented to Zoe as we zoomed towards the arena.
"Well, sometimes, the leader is not chosen by his size and strength. Sometimes, he is chosen by his kindness and spirit, like Lassie, she is very smart and nice to the team. I think she believes in teamwork." I watched Lassie. Zoe was right. She used each team member by his or her strengths and qualities. She was a good leader. By the time I had gotten thoughts of Lassie and leadership out of my head, we were within sight of the arena
"And that, my friends, must be Tabitha's 'distraction'." Snickered Zoe. I didn't have to look very hard for the distraction, because it was pretty much all over the place. It seemed as if all of Kovu Village had come to watch the fourth test. Every single person was there, it was a distraction of a thousand people. Zoe landed on the sled as we neared the arena. By now, a little boy had seen me approaching and was yelling at everyone about my arrival. As soon as I stepped off the dog sled, I was enveloped by a cheering mob. I looked at Zoe, puzzled at their behavior. She looked just as confused.
"Kigali!!!!! Hey Kigali!!!! Excuse me, pardon me. Hey watch it! KIGALI!!! HERE!!!" I turned around to find a small blue head struggling through the crowd. A small Koro Pokkuru floated above her head.
"PILIKA!!!!" I reached her with great effort and hugged her tight. "Girl! What are you doing here! I thought you went back to the Ainu Tribe." She laughed happily.
"Well, I did, but as soon as I heard that you made it to the semifinals, I HAD to come! I can't believe you're up against Nagini! You'll kick her butt! HI ZOE!!!" Zoe turned into a small Koro Pokkuru and jumped in her arms, smiling. She looked me up and down. "Wow! I love your clothes! You look gorgeous!"
"Hey Pilika! Wait up!" A cute boy about my age suddenly appeared from the multitude came up to Pilika and me. He was a bit taller than me and had blue, spiky hair and deep, black eyes. He smiled friendlily at me. He was wearing an Ainu headband. Pilika turned to me.
"Kigali, this is my brother, HoroHoro." I smiled flirtingly at him and winked. He blushed. Zoe scoffed and muttered something about me acting like Nagini. I turned back to Pilika.
"Hey Pilika, I gotta go, I'll see you guys after the test OK?" They nodded and wished me good luck. Zoe floated above me. The crowd parted as I went through, patting my back and wishing me fortune. Tabitha smiled when she saw me and walked up to me.
"Glad you made it, Kigali. I was going to meet you in the platform, but these people demanded to attend the fourth test."
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, the Kovu Tribe is the one of the most loyal tribes to the goddess, her first reincarnation is the one who funded the Kovu Tribe, after all."
"Why did they all wish me good luck? Did they do that to Nagini too?" Her smile faded a bit as she jerked her head towards Nagini, who was on the other side of the arena, flirting with the referee.
"No. Just you. You know, the whole tribe knows you. Most of them knew and loved your mother very much, and when she died, she left you in my care. It seems to me that the talk of how much you are like your mother has gone around quite a bit. They'd be right of course." She ruffled my hair and marched to the center of the arena, once there, she took out a kind of horn made from a white spiral seashell and blew on it hard. Everyone stopped chatting and turned their attention towards the priestess.
"Attention! The fourth test will now commence! This will be a Shaman Fight in which the combatant that looses Oversoul first will be disqualified. The combatants will be Nagini Fox Fire from Volkan... and Kigali Twilight Song from Kovu." There was a great load of cheering at this. I could faintly hear Pilika's frantic cheers.
"Twilight Song?" I whispered to Zoe.
"That's your nature name, like Tabitha's is Black Star." She whispered back. Tabitha continued her speech effortlessly.
"Combatants! Take your places at opposite sides of the arena!" I followed Zoe to our side. My stomach churned. I was getting nervous. Zoe looked at me confidently.
"Don't worry, just take a deep breath and try to RELAX." I squared my shoulders and faced Nagini, at the far away side of the field. She was far away, so I couldn't see her face, but if I could, I bet it would be an ugly smirk. Tabitha went on with the rules.
"The looser is the one who breaks her Oversoul, runs out of Furyoku, spirit is destroyed, or detained in a manner in which they cannot fight. The fighters may use the legendary items they gathered from Quaff Mountain as they please. You may begin at the horn." She backed away into a tiny platform in one of the sides of the arena. For a few tense moments, all the onlookers were silent. Hundreds of people stood wordlessly, surrounding all four sides of the arena, waiting for signal.
Then the horn sounded.
All hell broke loose. The spectators burst into noisy racket. I saw Nagini summon her spirit. I looked at Zoe.
"Ready?"
"You bet!" I held my hands above my head, but couldn't focus on Zoe's spirit. The crowd was making too much noise! Just take a deep breath and try to RELAX. My mind suddenly focused, and Zoe went to wolf-aura form. She howled an intimidating war-call behind me and enveloped me in as a cloud of aura. Like last time, she combined with my essence. The power was back. I opened my sapphire eyes and flipped my ice-white hair. My blue angel wings fluttered and my tail swished. I flexed my claws and turned to Nagini. She was a slow integrator. She was still fusing with her fox spirit. I took out the Nevermeltice and it immediately turned into its sword shape. I bared my fangs. I was on my element.
I watched Nagini, or what was left of her. She was turning into a terrible and very pissed-looking beast. Not to mention ugly. Nine fox tails sprouted out of her tailbone, her eyes shined red†and her aura†her aura
"Kigali. You WILL die." She charged at me, fast. I jumped over her with razor-sharp reflexes. My sword flashed, aiming for her. Swish. Some of her long, red hair fell to the ground in a useless heap. Nagini stood still.
"You missed on purpose." She jerked around and sharp claws slashed where I had been half a second ago. "I won't be so merciful." I flipped backwards a few yards, out of her reach. She cupped her hands and a red laser-like sword burst out of her hands. "So you wanna play soldiers? Let's have a go at it." She flashed her sword, and it glowed even more as it clashed with mine. It glowed. I smiled and skipped back a few feet. Mist. Immediately, the field was enveloped in a thick fog, and Nagini's sword stood out like a lighthouse. I struck at her sword; she just held the sword in front of her for protection. She couldn't see me in the fog, I camouflaged perfectly. I struck again and again, but hesitated to hurt her. I hated blood spill. If I had to detain Nagini, I would do it in another form.
I silently pulled back into the mist and changed my sword into a shield. I centered my Furyoku on the ground.
"ICE QUAKE!" I sent a pulse of power through the ground. It grumbled and then became completely covered in a thick sheet of ice. It trembled some more and all around me stalagmites of ice rapidly pushed out of the ground and rose up fifty feet. The field was now a huge ice forest, with mist surrounding the massive ice spikes. I couldn't see Nagini's sword. She must have gotten smart about it. I closed my eyes and listened. Soft footsteps... closer... breathing... claws on ice... behind me! I pushed off a nearby icicle as Nagini crashed into the ice where I had been. She left a six feet deep dent. Nagini laughed. I cleared the mist. It had no use to me anymore. The people in the crowd cheered at having visibility of the field again.
Nagini walked slowly back to her side of the arena. I did the same and withdrew the ice spikes back into the ground to have a better view of her. She laughed an ugly laugh.
"Well, well, well. I must admit that I'm surprised. You're a better fighter than I thought! But as I draw my most powerful weapon†you have no chance of surviving!" She laughed manically and pulled her sacred item from her waist bag. It was the book from Quaff Mountain. "This is the sacred book of Gali! The first goddess of water and ice! And with this, I will destroy you!" She laughed crazily again as she reached for the seal in the book and pulled... and pulled... and pulled again
"WHAT!!!!????? It won't open!!!!!!!" She screamed in outrage. I fell over on the floor, laughing my butt off. Tabitha called 'times' and walked over to Nagini.
"Well Nagini, if you had come to see me, you might have known that only one of pure heart can open and control the book." She explained loud enough for all to hear. More laughing. Nagini exploded.
"Don't give me that!" Tabitha moved back as Nagini gathered up a ball of Furyoku. "There's nothing a little of power won't open!!!" She slammed the ball into the seal, which opened with an explosion, but surprisingly, the book was unharmed. She laughed evilly and opened the cover of the book. I gasped in surprise. Instead of normal pages in a regular book, the pieces of paper making up the book were hollowed out and stuck together, making a sort of box for a deck of cards. As soon as Nagini opened the cover fully, the cards flew out of the book and started circling Nagini like the earth around the sun. Nagini laughed.
"See Kigali? This book contains 52 cards. Each has the essence of all elements in existence, but you wouldn't know that now wouldn't you? Why don't I just show you?" She looked at the cards that were surrounding her and grabbed one forceful, as if the card was struggling. "You should like this one, Kigali. GO! WIND!!!" The card shined and transformed itself into a beautiful girl with flyaway hair. She seemed to be made of a special kind of aura, but there was no doubt about it; it was the personified essence of wind.
"Wind! I command you to attack Kigali!" She pointed at me threateningly. The Wind looked at Nagini and yawned, then she looked at me and laughed a light, airy, laugh. She flew to my side and stood behind me, trying to frown but only attempting an amused giggle. The crowd went into fits of whispering and murmuring at the recent events.
"IMPOSSIBLE! How did you? FINE! I"LL JUST TRY ANOTHER CARD! GO THE DASH!!!" Another card shined and sprang to life, this time in the shape of a small cat-like animal. "GO! Seek and destroy!" The Dash ran towards me so fast that it became a violet flash. It swirled about me a couple of times before climbing on my shoulder and licking my cheek as greeting. Nagini screamed in rage. I hiccupped back my laughter.
"Dash! Wind! Come back!" They were dragged back to Nagini and returned neatly to her hand, once again in their card form. She put the book back in her waist back and then threw it aside.
"I won't use my item... you can use yours of course... but when you lose WITH the item... my, my... how humiliating would that be? Losing to an unarmed opponent... and with such a weapon" She laughed harshly. I narrowed my eyes. She was clever. Too clever. That last comment had hit a nerve. I tossed my weapon aside. The crowd broke into a constant murmuring and hissing, but I could care less. This would be me and Nagini, hand-to-hand combat... one on one.
Nagini saw her window of opportunity. Her aura flared around her as she dashed towards me. I could have dodged easily... but that was no way to start a fight. We rammed against each other full on†our hands met each other and our claws intertwined. I shoved against her... she shoved back. We were too even. I jumped back a few feet and pulled on her hands at the same time. I grasped her wrists and slung her around me, and then I let her go. She went flying... but not before grasping at my wrists with her nails. Five long slashes bled freely on each of my wrists. The sight of blood awoke a feeling inside me... a sense... adrenaline rushed through my veins... I felt bloodthirsty†I felt reckless.
"What is it Nagini? Reduced to a catfight?" I taunted her. She fell for the mock and charged at me. We clashed in a flash of movement. Blue on red. Red on blue. We slashed at each other, I bit, she punched, I kicked, she sank her teeth into my shoulder. We were two blurs across the arena†moving faster than the eye could follow. She snarled viciously†I growled fiercely. No! We were too even! I wanted to it! This was my second time integrating, my Furyoku was draining; I couldn't let my Oversoul break.
I punched her stomach, she kicked me in the back. Pain, oh man, there WAS pain. It felt like my whole body was screaming in pain. Poor Zoe, she was feeling this too. My strength was almost gone... Nagini's too... I could feel it. Her Oversoul flickered, but we kept fighting. We stopped moving around the field, now we were fighting in the center of the arena. Our speed had been knocked down a notch too. I kicked her knees and she fell hard on the ground, but not before grabbing me by the collar of my shirt and pulling me down after her. I fell by her side, lifted my body and threw out my leg for one last kick. All my energy went in it. She rolled away a few feet and her Oversoul glimmered away... mine followed after about five seconds. A battered Zoe appeared by my side.
I finally collapsed in exhaustion. I wasn't unconscious; in fact, my mind was as sharp as ever. It was my body that wouldn't respond. I lay there, literally beat, a dark pool of blood covered the ground, surrounding me. Zoe whimpered and tried to stand up, but the injuries I had suffered were also inflicted on her. As she was a special spirit, she would keep all the wounds I kept, but she could heal them four times faster than me.
The referee came to see if we were both alive. We were. He called Tabitha over and they had a short argument over the fight, finally, the referee yelled the results out loud for everyone to hear.
"This match has been considered a draw!"
"WHAT?" I yelled.
"NO WAY!" Nagini joined me.
"We will break the tie!" Added Tabitha. "The one who stands up first will be the winner!" Injuries forgotten, I jumped up on my feet. Nagini did the same. At the same time.
"Another draw!" Yelled the referee. I breathed out in frustration. Nagini cursed under her breath. Tabitha and the referee had another conversation, and then turned towards the crowd, their faces somber.
"We have decided on a fifth test!" Announced Tabitha. The crowd whispered excitedly. "But this test will choose the goddess without fail. I didn't want to be drawn to this option, but there is no choice." She paused dramatically. "The finalists must summon the beast of the snows!" Gasps from the crowd. "It is also known as the Arctic Anka. It's a beast that resurrects itself every 500 years, the opposite element of the phoenix. It's a demon of the sky that flies all around the world and is the basis of all cold in the oceans and atmosphere. The Anka flies continually, never touching the ground. Its only resting place†is the summit of Quaff Mountain.
"The only person who can summon and control the all-powerful Anka, was the Goddess of Ice and Water. She is the only one who can make the beast of the snows come down from the sky and touch the ground. The Anka only obeys those with a pure soul, and the Goddess had a soul as pure as crystal. The finalists will try to summon the Anka! The one who succeeds is the Goddess." The crowd went deathly quiet as Tabitha walked towards us.
"The finalists will attempt to summon the Anka with the horn of the deep!" She held out the white horn made from the spiral seashell. Nagini snatched it from her.
"I'll go first, if you don't mind." She sneered at me.
"I don't." I did.
I watched her as she put the horn to her lips and blew hard. We waited in anticipation, but nothing happened. I sighed in relief. Nagini was in one of her anger-management attacks again. She was blowing the horn continually, occasionally yelling at the sky or at random people.
"Nagini! That's enough!" Tabitha tried to take the shell from Nagini, but she scooted out of reach.
"FINE! I can't summon the Anka! But if I can't, then no one else can either!" She smashed the shell against the frozen ground, where it shattered into a thousand pieces. The crowd gave a unified gasp. I groaned. I had a feeling Nagini would do something like that. Tabitha was now yelling her head out at Nagini, who was more than a little scared of the raging priestess. They yelled... and yelled... I turned to Zoe in despair. Now what??? I mouthed at her. She was lying down calmly, licking her wounds.
"There are other ways of summoning the Anka." She said quietly.
"You mean... that guy...?" She nodded.
"So all I have to do is... sing...?" She repeated the gesture.
"I have faith in you." She said calmly. I cleared my throat a few times, and then started vocalizing softly... then louder... and louder still... Tabitha and Nagini stopped in mid-argument. All eyes in the crowd turned towards me. My first notes came out a bit flat, but as I sang on, they started flowing out smoothly and swiftly
"You fool. You cannot beckon the Anka with mere singing." Sneered Nagini, but I ignored her... everything faded out... It was just the skies and I. Shivers ran down my spine as the song reached its peak. The sky darkened. Silver clouds blocked the sun from its lofty view in the heavens. My last note resonated in the chilling artic air... it echoed in the silence. All eyes were still on me, but my full attention was focused on the skies. I smiled as a dark silhouette was spotted in between the shadows... it circled like a vulture over its kill.
A snowflake fell on my nose, and another on my arm. Soon, there was a flurry of snow dropping from the atmosphere. I breathed it in. The mild flurry quickened with my heartbeat. It became a blinding blizzard. I put two fingers in my lips and gave a long, piercing whistle. The wind picked up even more. I looked up and glanced right into a pair of ocean-blue eyes. Huge eyes... deep blue. The beast landed in front of me. The beast of the snows. The arctic Anka.
"You're really not a beast at all!" I looked at the so-called 'beast', hovering above me. It was a snow-white eagle the size of a jet. It had sky-blue markings on its wings, tail, and cheeks. It also had three blue feathers on top of its head and a sapphire right above its curving beak, between its eyes, which stared at me with intense intelligence and curiosity. Its beak was a pewter-gray, so were its razor-sharp talons, except white, furry feathers mostly covered them. Above its blue tail feathers grew three spikes the color of its beak, they reminded me of Wolverine's claws in X-Men. Ok, so it was huge. It was very huge. It was small enough to sit on top of a house without making it collapse, but it was big enough to carry an elephant in its claws. A blue aura identical to Zoe's and mine sparkled around it.
A sudden love flared inside me. This bird was mine. This bird had waited 500 years for me to return. I reached out with my arms and she reached down with his giant talons and grabbed each of my arms, light as a feather, and lifted me into the sky, unseen by anyone because of the white blizzard. Zoe jumped to the air and followed us from behind. The ground grew smaller and smaller until we entered the blanket of clouds above the field. I got soaked from head to toe, but I can't say it wasn't fun. Unlike most kids my age, I was never afraid of heights. Good thing too, because dangling from your arms in the talons of a huge eagle-like creature a hundreds of feet in the air would have made most people pee their pants.
I reached for the Anka's furry feathers and climbed up onto her back like an elevated perch. We twirled in the air in happy reunion. We went way up high into the sky where the air was so thin I had to yawn to breathe, and then dived down at incredible speed to skim the misty clouds like the waves of the ocean. I laughed in pure joy. Forget roller coasters, now THIS was exhilarating! We hovered for a few moments above the clouds, and then the Anka flapped her wings once, sending air spiraling towards the clouds. They parted open, giving us a full view of the entire battlefield. It was still being harassed by the blizzard. The Anka chirped a note and the blizzard immediately quieted down, leaving a snowy arena behind.
We soared lower so we could see the people in the arena. There was a lot of yelling and screaming. The name Kigali was also heard a lot. Tabitha was in one of her fury attacks... Pilika was crying... her brother was comforting her... Nagini was sulking
It suddenly struck by the weirdest thought. They thought I had been carried off to the mountain and eaten by a bloodthirsty beast. The Anka chirped in amusement.
"It's a joke!" Exclaimed Zoe, soaring beside us.
"Oh! I get it! She wants to make a grand entrance! Ha!" I laughed. This bird was seriously smart. We picked the right time and then soared to the highest altitude possible, once there, the Anka slowly pivoted its body and dived down to earth. We gained velocity fast as we plummeted to the ground. 200 feet... faster... 150 feet... faster... 100... 90... by this time there were people yelling and pointing at us... 50...30... The Anka flared her wings a tiny bit, gaining air resistance, but we still dived down to the earth as fast as a bullet... 15 feet... and... FLARE!
She waved her powerful wings once; a powerful wind picked up and broke our dive. Everything nearby was blown away by the burst of wind, like when a helicopter lands. We touched the ground as neatly and gracefully as a ballerina. The Anka lifted its great head and cried a triumphant screech. Zoe landed by us with a bark of greeting to the audience. I jumped of the giant bird and made a peace sign.
"Yo!" Everything went deathly quiet, and then, very slowly, people started to cheer†then more†and finally, the whole arena was filled with loud clapping and loud shouting. Tabitha ran over to me, anger forgotten and raised my arm in success.
"PEOPLE OF THE NORTH!" She cried, "OUR GODDESS HAS RETURNED TO US!!!!!!!!" The cheering doubled, if possible, in volume. I smiled vaguely. My vision blurred slightly. Zoe barked worriedly as I sank to my knees.
"Key! You lost too much blood from the fight!" I nodded absently and collapsed to the ground. My sight went completely black
"Kigali! Kigali" Someone cried, but I couldn't tell who†I slunk off into a deep sleep.
