I don't own Xiolin Showdown
thanksMangaMistress for your review
The birds in the air were moving east. They were migrating to escape the harsh winter.
Down below on the lake Omi was flowing in the opposite direction. The sun was shinning.
The flashes of light would gently touch the leaves in the trees and give them unique colors. There were different types of green. Some he couldn't even name.
Omi hesitated a bit before moving forward. 'It is really beautiful out here, but where I am going is dreadful'.
He painfully turned his eyes from the sun and moved forward.
The beautiful landscape gave way to a barred land. There were pieces of debris everywhere. The building looked finished but not in a good way.
What scared Omi the most was that there was nothing there. ' It was like everything departed from this place. As if they sensed an evil presence about the place'.
Omi closed his eyes and started flowing towards the dudgeon. On the far side were the pipes his friends used to escape. Upon entering the pipes he slowly swam to his destination. His eyes glanced to and fro looking uncertain.
He came upon a room with cages and looked away shamefully. He could not believe he was about to place his friends in such conditions. The floor was hard, the place did not look very welcoming. Even at its best the place stink.
" Your friends were not harmed before and they won't be this time". His water element he had forgotten about him.
" You chose the path that would allow you to live, to that extent would changes be made". His reflection looked like he had one more thing to add, but was reluctant.
Omi turned his entire body to face the water element. " What have you kept from me?".
The water element looked Omi in the eye and replied "nothing", but when he quickly averted his eyes Omi knew he was lying.
By now Omi was seriously worried. 'Whatever evil there is, it is better to know what one is fighting against'. Omi pleaded "Tell me I must know!"
Omi turned himself to look straight at the water element's eyes. "I am sorry to say this, but the torture you endured with Chase you will face again."
Determinedly Omi retorted " I will do whatever is necessary, Chase will pay".
Omi tried to reassure himself that he would be reunited with his friends.
The water element reached out and touched Omi's shoulders. "Omi we must continue" "I will be with you after you return but we will not be able to communicate as we have now." I will go back to just hearing your command and fulfilling them".
The water element had already filled him with everything he needed to know. "Thank you very much honorable ally, goodbye my friend." They shook hands.
The path forward that he was taking backwards was a precarious one. To have none to share the burden with is most depressing. His forehead glowed and he continued the trip in high speed.
Omi passed many rooms and some he used to occupy. No matter how fast he went whenever he passed certain rooms a deep sadness would fill his heart and bring him close to tears. The hatred this place held, Omi felt it deep in his bones. Omi continued on until he reached the most beautiful place in the dudgeon. The place had also suffered during the fight with Chase, but you could still picture the spring that was once there.
if you have any question let me know.
