Chapter 10: Kali's castle.
Sasuke and Sayo walked in jungle after a few days. They now reach the hardest part of their lifetime defeating Kali. Sayo hesitated a lot. She doesn't know why the 'voice' asked her to go west, as it takes her towards Kali's castle. She really doesn't know if she should follow Sasuke and defeat Kali but she doesn't have any reason to fight.
At least Sasuke has his reason; he must take revenge from Kali. The longer they walk the nearer they are to Kali's castle. Not long later, Sayo can see the castle. It's black towers rose high above the green forest surrounding it. It looked very scary but Sasuke is fearless. Sayo felt a little strange to be standing in front of the castle. Why must she be here?
"Sayo, are you ready?" asked Sasuke, "or are you going to turn back?
"…Well…" murmured Sayo.
"Sayo. I know you don't have a reason to be here. So you can go back to the village"
"I …am going with you! Sasuke, Let's go" Sayo said with confident
"But… are you sure?"
"YES! This is my fight now" said Sayo walking in.
"…Sayo be careful," murmured Sasuke closing his Lavender eyes.
He opens his eyes and it turned flaming red. He followed Sayo behind and he notice Sayo changed a lot. She became much more braver and more confident. She looked fearless. They entered the huge black castle. As they entered, Kali's underlings attack. They are all demons and zombies. They had horns and their eyes are bloody red.
Actually they are once human but after being kill by Kali, they turned into demons and zombies. Now they fight for Kali. They even lose their memories and they didn't know they were once human.
The zombies attack fiercely, not worrying life or death. Sayo used her firey card and attacked all the zombies while Sasuke used his sword and attacks them. It is a hard battle, as those Zombies keep coming. Sayo and Sasuke stopped for a while. They noticed that every zombie they defeated revive again. It is the one of the hardest battle they had.
Sayo begin to get a little tired. She used her cards and lost her strength but she continues on fighting. She dashes forward and suddenly a flash of light covers her view. Then, she begins to think.
Why am I fighting? There isn't any reason. Am I fighting for myself or just to accompany Sasuke? Why am I here? This castle has nothing to do with me. All I wanted is to return home with my parents. What's the point? I didn't gain anything. But now, am I looking for power? No, I am now just fighting with my friend. But to win this battle I must obtain power! Sayo thought
The view returns to her, as she takes out her cards. She gained back her powers that she loses just now. Suddenly, she couldn't felt her body. Her movements were controlled by someone somewhere. Sasuke didn't notice that and continue on fighting.
"…Sasuke…go away…" Sayo said.
"Yes…" Sasuke obeyed her orders.
"Thanks"
Sasuke walked back and a gust of wind surrounded Sayo. She closes her eyes and begins to chant something weird. It is strange but someone controls Sayo. She reopens her eyes.
"Aeolus, the god of the wind… Give me strength to face my foes. Used your wind to make a cyclone," Sayo chanted, "WIND OF HOPE!"
With Sayo's word, a very, very strong wind blows. The wind turned into a cyclone and attacks the zombies. The zombies moaned and they disappear in thin air. Sasuke was amazed by that movement Sayo makes. Sayo suddenly felt like she is able to move again but then, she fell to the ground. It is because that power used her strength. Sasuke was worried and run towards Sayo.
"Sayo, you okay?" asked Sasuke, "That power is amazing"
"…That power…I just obtained power…" Sayo murmured to herself.
"Sayo, you okay?"
"Y, yes…I am okay" Sayo smiled.
"That's great. Now let's go and face Kali"
"Right! I just obtained power, I am much more stronger now!"
Sasuke sweat dropped and signed. Then, he and Sayo walked towards the throne room. On the way they met many hardships but able to defeat them all. After a while, they reach the room. The door was huge. Sayo and Sasuke tried to open the door. As they reach for the doorknob, their right hand formed a mark. It's a mark of destinies. Sayo and Sasuke pulled their hands back.
The chosen one who make it to this spot said a male voice.
"Wh-w-what?" Sayo and Sasuke questioned each other.
Don't be afraid. Now Sayo, you obtain the power of the Wind. It is a blessing from Aeolus"
"What about me?" asked Sasuke
Sasuke, you obtain the power of fire. Power from the hidden Phoenix of the volcano mountains
"Wow! It's amazing" Sayo is pleased.
Anyway if you want to use this power, you must make a chant you just did
"Got it anyway, Mister who are you?" asked Sasuke.
Me? I am C…
Before the man could say any further, the voice disappeared. This mysterious man is making both Sayo and Sasuke wonders, 'who is he?' They ignore the man's voice and proceed in the room. There, they saw the evil looking Empress with black wings on her back, Kali. Sayo and Sasuke get ready their weapons and they are sure to defeat Kali this time, with the power of friendship.
