Ancient Ruins
Chapter 7
'Where is it?' I thought angrily. I've been searching this barren desert for hours and nothing has shown up. Luckily it was night time in this desert or my pale skin would've sizzled. All this sand was getting trapped in my hood and I can't stand it.
How can Keam be sure the Phoenix is here? I'm pretty sure his mind said it would be here, in the Sahara Desert, but why? This doesn't make any sense, if only I had some sign.
"Can I be of ssservice?" Said a mysterious figure. I turned around and saw another one of those Erivs. How I loathe those creatures born from phoenix fire.
"Where is the Phoenix?" I asked.
"Why should I tell you were ssshe isss?" The Eriv asked. The flame emanating from it was not only blinding me, but scorching hot. I also noticed that the ground it stood on was turning into glass.
"Tell me or else!" I threatened, preparing my spells.
"Now Raven, how will you then get the anssswersss out of me?"
Oh great, he's got me, and truly there's no mind to read on this creature, just the host's mind, and there's no way to intrude on a Phoenix's mind, they're too strong. I might as well give up.
"But where'sss the fun in that?" The Eriv asked. There's no question it has telepathy.
The Eriv made the first move, it charged at me with amazing speed, but I created a shield around me. It was useless; the creature bashed through it like it was wood. Several punches made there way to me, all were avoided, except the last one.
That last punch hit me square in the stomach, not only did I feel an impact of an ox, but the fire of immense heat. The sand broke my fall, but the pain was still unbearable.
"Isss that it?" The Eriv asked. Anger was flowing through me, but I didn't couldn't even get up. Somehow, that punch took out a lot of energy, I couldn't even get my legs to stand me up.
"I hate killing innocent prey, but I have no choissse." It lifted its right hand, about to strike me, but then...BOOM! This sound pulsing blue wave swept through the desert exploding the Eriv. That sound could've only been made by one person. Cyborg. Why would he be out here?
I searched every where, but no sign of anyone for miles.
Then the ground began to rumble slightly. Beginning to get more violent unto the very sandy grounds split in two, until a structure appears from the ground. It looked like some Aztec ruin just arising from the sands. The normal step feature was seen as the main walls, but an unusual stone figure appeared at the top. It was a large figure with majestic wings. It was radiating a fiery light, yet very pleasing and relaxing.
I had no choice, I must go into the Ruins.
