Chapter four: Angel: Is this all a joke?
3rd person POV:
It was the same place where the angels were. This time we see the back side of two angels in a lighted area. They were in midair it looks like there is no ground for miles and the focus is on the angels and a man who was also in the air. One angel was in red and was holding a huge colorless sphere the other angel was in blue with a large blue axe over one shoulder. The male had just finished getting ready and was reporting that he was ready to go. "Are you sure about this? I mean to him you…" The female began but she did not finish as the male smirked and said "I know. It doesn't matter. Ecthel will understand once I explain it to him. I'll be taking off now. See you later."
With that he got ready to fly away. "Be careful! That Grim angel has been there for ten years… Who knows what he's been up to…? He may attack you…" The Magi said fear in his voice.
The Female burst into laughter and said... "… Ha, ha, ha, ha… … Ecthel… Attack him… That's impossible! Ha, ha, ha, ha…" He stopped and started to giggle. "Don't worry,that won't happen.He will not attack me. That's not like him. He will believe me and come with me this time. I'm sure of it." He said and a full view was visible.
It was Ledah! "How do you know that? People change, he could be different now. He may think you are his enemy." The Magi pointed out. The female was still laughing and then in between she managed to say... "Ha, ha… If Ecthel thinks Ledah is the enemy he would have killed Ledah when he told Ecthel to finish him… Ecthel said he couldn't and also said that they were friends… That gentle nature in him won't ever change… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…" The magiwas surprised.
He hadn't seenthe angels that Hector had sent for the retribution."You both know this grim angel…?" "Yes. I was sent on the mission with him. He was taken by Ursula. Then when we met again he wanted to save both Riviera and Asguard. We ended up battling each other. Malice tried to finish me after Ecthel refused to, I told him to stop her. Once he beat her… She tried to kill him too. I blocked him. It's how I died. I don't know about Malice but apparently she battled Ecthel again. Ecthel will be surprised to see me. But all those sacrificed souls because of the retribution must have also returned… Those of Rosalina… He should be able to comprehend about all this." Ledah explained.
"So you were his friend… Is that why you want to go now?" "If you go, what about our plan?" "You should be able to handle them no problem… When Ecthel returns, we can accomplish the plan more accordingly. Malice, I'm leaving the rest to you. I have to find Ecthel." Ledah said.
The Magi changed his mindsince they both knew Ecthel..."But you are the best; we may need your help. Why not have her go? It'll be better that way right?" "No, Malice killed me, and tried to kill him… …" "I understand. He will not trust me. Yes, I may have changed in these past two years, but I took the souls of Rosalina… Beat up that girl… He then saved her, killed you, and tried to kill him also? And I took one of his best friend's souls to complete my mission… To him I must be a murderer… He trusts Ledah. Not me." "Well I better be off now if I want to make it in time." "Grim angel, Pleases returns quickly, we'll need you two."
Ledah's POV:
Riviera… Who'd have thought I'd return to the land I was going to destroy ten years ago seeking help? … … Ecthel… I wonder where you are. … I flew to where I saw him once… Near this place named Elendia I think it was. He was there ten years ago… Who knows where he is now? Malice said he was at Rosalina when she took their souls… He must have traveled all over. I wonder where he is… It shouldn't be too hard to find him.
3rd person POV:
Ecthel had just used the Magic circle, on his way to Rosalina, when Ledah flew into the peaceful town. Then in Rosalina he flew past them over the castle of Rosalina while they were inside… … When Ecthel and his friends finally got outside, they took a while because they got ambushed by demons again; Ledah flew past high above so he didn't see them.
Serene gasped and looked around."What was that? I saw a shadow!" "Not again… Another shadow…? An enemy?" Ecthel asked."I think it flew that way. I don't know." Serene said."Let's be careful then. I don't want to be ambushed again." Fia said a bit annoyed with their luck.
Then shecontinued abouther worries."Those Crimson whips and the Volcano Bows will break soon if we don't watch it! It's the only fire we have." "ButLina's new Lava rush is the best against those plants…" Lina said. Unwilling tostop."Lava rush is good but… Volcano bow will break soon…" Ecthel said.
"Speak of the devil! Plants! They're going to attack!" Serene exclaimed."At this point we have to use our fire attacks… They're too powerful! And there are four of them! We can barely beat one without a fire weapon! Let's go! Lina, Fia! Attack formation! Fia in the back! The Bow is in; let's take potions, zypher and the whip." Ecthel exclaimed and instructed.
Battle:
Ecthel had the group start offwith Lina using the whip with him and Fia shooting an arrow to the back. Lina Scores good damage to the front two plants as Fia and Ecthel hit a random back plants. "Lina use Lava Rush once the overdrive maxes!" Ecthel instructed. Two rounds passed just with them attacking avoiding plenty of damage.
On the third turn the Energy for the Overdrive maxed so Lina was able to use her Lava Rush.
(-Alright! Lava Rush! It starts like Stardust… and Fire comes from the bow as Lina shoots the 7th arrow making it look like it's flowing like lava. Lava strikes all enemies, so the last 4 hits attack all in its way. You know how Stardust's last few shots are… Like that, last few blows like lightening… this looks like Lava.-)
"I never miss! Lava Rush!" The arrows hits all four plants scoring damage that was very devastating. "We need to keep at it!" Ecthel yelled.They continue to build up the Overdrive for more Lava Rush. But things did not go well because the Crimson whip broke after two more uses.
"Oh no! The Crimson whip broke!" Lina exclaimed. "We can't give up! Keep up with building the over drive! Your Lava Rush will kill them all!" Ecthel said.So they continue shooting bows until the overdrive was maxed again. "I never miss! Lava Rush!" The battle ends after shooting two more arrows after the last Lava Rush. "Alright let's get moving."
Battle ends.
The battle was pretty easy but they encountered a problem. "We got to watch out! The bow is going to break soon too." "Unless we can find another crimson whip or Volcano bow." "Yea. I still want to use my new lava rush!" "Let's hurry. We got to defeat them all!"
Ledah's POV:
Where are you? I've already went through Elendia, Rosalina and Yggdrasil twice! Ecthel, you are hard to find even though you can't fly. We need you back in Asgard…
Where are you Ecthel? "Then what happened to Ecthel, Serena Lina and Fia?" What? Was that... That was his friends' names... "Gill Did he tell you what happened at Nelde Ruins?" Young adults are telling a child about Ecthel's stories? Nelde Ruins...?
"Yes. I remember he said something about meeting Cierra there because they fell from the tree when birds attacked them." "Do you mean that magic red haired girl…? Cierra-sama?" "Yes. You know they have all lived here in Elendia for ten years since they had finished battling… They just go out to defeat demons now and then… We used to play with Lina all the time."
"Look at this doll… Ecthel-san found it in Nelde Ruins… He gave it to me. He went to Tetyth after that…" "Then it was Mireno Cemetery… And Yggdrasil and finally Maze of shadows. He defeated all the Accursed and Saved Riviera."
He did say he went to defeat all the Accursed... But where is he now? That's a lot of places.
"How? What happened to them in Tetyth?" "Ecthel-san said his adventure to Tetyth was tough. They got flooded… It was a race with time. They made it but barely." "Where are they now? I want to see Lina-sama too!" "They went to Rosalina. They are not back yet. They left about two weeks ago. They were going to defeat the demons over again. Serene's home, It has been restored you know."
Ecthel is in Rosalina…? But if he was there why didn't I see him? I was there a week ago. Surely they were there when I was there. I guess I should go search there more thoroughly.
3rd person POV:
A few days later after defeating many demons the group finally confirmed Rosalina's safety and returned to Elendia by the magic circle, while Ledah left to search Rosalina carefully… When he got there he walked instead of fly checking everywhere carefully. Nelde Ruins will be his next destination if he fails here too.
So In Elendia, Ecthel is relaxing bathing, Fia is helping Coco; Serene is at her usual place relaxing and Cierra studying magic again. "Yay! We're finally Home! I'm going to play with my friends!" After Ecthel came out he told his friends his plan. "We'll finish the enemies at Nelde ruins next. Let's rest for a few days first okay guys?" "Sounds good to me." Agreeing to that the group starts to relax.
Ledah's POV:
That's all the places… Can he be back in Elendia? It's been days… Where are you Ecthel? I guess I'll go check where he settled again.
