Chapter 5
Andrew stood upon the sun shaped platform in the golden temple of Light, his hands folded Japanese style and his eyes closed over his teal eyes, Mina elsewhere in the temple upon her own platform in her sacred chamber doing the very same.
All the elementals were doing this, concentrating their great power to subdue Endymion and Raye, to weaken them enough to capture them, hopefully with all of them , it would be enough.
Endymion lurched off of Serena, stumbling to floor, a cry of pain escaping him as the powers of his fellow elementals overwhelmed him, "You traitors! How dare you do this.
'We could say the same for you, Endymion, You will be punished for your ultimate betrayal!' Andrew's voice echoed all around the vast chamber.
'You have betrayed us all! You must be punished!' Trista's voice exclaimed in a booming echo around the chamber.
'Your arrogance has become both and your sister's downfall Endymion! You both were always so greedy! Punishment!' Diamond's voice boomed around the chamber.
'They caused harm to two of their fellow elementals! Punish them now!" Haruka's voice stormed.
'Traitors! Punish Them!" Sapphire and Amy's voices echoed together.
'Punishment for the traitors!' Artemis's voice rang thought the chamber 'Deceitful pair! Punish them!' Zoicite and Lita's voice rang together.
'They have turned to wickedness! Punishment is called for!' came the echo of Yanten and Michiru's voices.
'Cruel they have become! Punishment!" Hollored Hotaru's voice.
'Evil! Punish the evil ones!' Rini's voice echoed in the room.
A short silence followed the voting of the elementals of the fire temple inhabitant's fates and then Andrew's voice was heard once more.
'It has been decided! We the betrayed elements have spoken! You will be punished! Both you and your sister!' Andrew's voice declared 'The gods will see to your punishment!'.
And with that, Endymion could no longer feel the presence of his fellow elementals, they had left him, abandoned him.
He looked up at the weakened water priestess struggling to breath on his flame shaped platform, he smirked, deciding to have some more fun with her before he and Raye were 'punished'.
"Please…" The weak water priestess whispered softly "Leave me…I do not… wish for your… vile hands to… touch me, the gods… will soon rectify… what you have… already done".
Endymion crawled on top of Serena. "You think the gods can do anything to me!" He seethed at her "I have become powerful, dear Serena, more powerful than any of you knew".
Serena's fading ocean blue eyes gazed sadly up at him "I pity you, you have …turned your back on …who you once …were, you have …forgotten how to …feel and to love".
"And you just haven't tasted yet the dark side, my sweet water priestess" He drawled arrogantly "But you soon will".
"May the gods… forgive you… for your wickedness… Endymion" Serena murmured softly, her eyes holding sadness for the fallen fire priest "Raye as well".
And with that, the beautiful priestess's eyes softly closed and she exhaled for the very last time.
"No!" Endymion cried, never meaning for this to happen, for it to go this far.
He also knew that he had committed a horrible crime, no doubt Raye had too, for Malachite was most likely dead as well, sure enough, Endymion heard his sister's mourning wails.
A tear escaped Endymion eyes, he never meant for this to happen, he never intended to kill anyone, especially not Serena and Malachite, he was now responsible for all water on earth disappearing forever.
Endymion picked up the dead priestess and walked from his chamber, walking the halls and exiting the fire temple, laying her on the warm brimstone ground.
"I am ready to be punished" He said softly, sadly "I had not meant to kill her or Malachite, I have wronged this world by robbing them of the water temple inhabitants, I deserve punishment, I ask you not, Great Ones, to be merciful, I do not deserve that, spare Raye, it is my fault that she has become the way she is now".
'Endymion' many ethereal voices said at once 'You have become a traitor, why'
"My lust for the water priestess and the fact the our elements were enemies forced me to act the way I did, my actions were my own fault and I deserve your punishment" Edymion said sadly, tears now flowing.
'We will give you another chance, as requested by the water priestess upon her dying breath, we will have time turned back to where this ALL started, you will be given one chance to change this, to undo it, use this chance well Fire Priest!' The voices of the gods declared.
Before Endymion could speak, he was blinded by bright white light and he knew no more.
Hope you all enjoyed that, I worked very hard and gave myself a headache with how to make it all work, the epilouge will be in soon, and no I do not plan to make a sequel on this, so please do not ask me, I love you all loads! See ya soon!
