Chapter 2
Ilyana was still thinking of the necklace she received thinking of the advantages and disadvantages.
"Maybe I shouldn't have accepted this, but I might fall in battle sooner or later. Either way I might die…" Ilyana mumbled to herself.
"Ilyana, hurry up or you'll miss breakfast!" Mia called outside Ilyana's room
"Coming!"
……………………………………………………………….
After breakfast Ilyana went somewhere private to check out her powers to see if the woman is right or not. Ilyana targeted a giant rock.
"El Thunder!" Ilyana yelled. The thunder struck the rock and broke it into little pieces. Ilyana's eyes widen with amazement. Wow, if I killed an enemy with that kind of power, the rest of the enemies might fear me…
Ilyana found a bigger rock. "El Thunder!" The rock broke into tinier pieces unlike the last one.
Ilyana kept on blasting rocks. "WOW, THIS IS SO COOL!"
Tormod came. "Ilyana, why are you doing here!"
"This is my private practice area!"
"What! This is my private practice area!"
"That explains the fire I smelled a couple of days ago…"
"That explains the thunder I heard a couple of days ago…" Tormod looked at the rock pieces on the ground. "Wow, did you destroy these, Ilyana?"
"Yep, this necklace increased my powers. Don't tell anyone alright?"
"My lips are sealed but first, where did you get the necklace?"
"From a woman in town."
"Where is her store?"
"To tell the truth I don't know she just walked up to me and gave me this."
"I wish I could get something that could power me up…"
"Do you want to see my magic in action?"
"Sure!"
Ilyana and Tormod found another huge rock. "El Thunder!" Ilyana turned the rock into nothing this time.
"COOL!"
"Hehehe, I know, huh?" The necklace began to glow very brightly, energy from it fused into Ilyana's tome. "What is going on? Wait… Don't be reckless with it; it might kill you or a loved one… No… I was being reckless! Tormod get out of here!"
Thunder from the sky shot out from nowhere. It again shot out but it strikes a tree and then the tree is set on fire. It then broke from it root and it falls towards Tormod.
"Ahh!"
"Tormod!" Ilyana ran towards Tormod and pushes him out of the way. She fell on the ground and then… "Ahh!" The tree landed on her back, the tree was very big…
"Ilyana!" Tormod tried to push it off of her before the fire could spread, but he was not strong enough. Ilyana had her eyes closed, she was knocked out. "Ilyana, hold on I'll try getting you out of there!" He kept on pushing. Then he heard a roar from somewhere he looked back and it was Muarim and Mordecai, Tormod moved away. The two tigers pushed against the tree, it was moving a little. Then they transformed back. Muarim grabbed the left side next to Ilyana and Mordecai grabbed the right. They picked the tree up struggling to keep it in place; Tormod ran to Ilyana and pulled her away from the tree. Mordecai and Muarim dropped the tree down.
"Give her to me little one." Muarim said. Tormod let's Muarim carry Ilyana back to the fort.
"A tree fell on her! How?" Ike asked.
"For some reason a bolt of lightning shot the tree and it caught on fire, and then broke off its roots." Tormod explained
"Why would a bolt of lightning shoot out on a cloudless day?" Ike mumbled
"Unless it was a training accident." Soren included. He was sitting next to Ilyana examining her burnt tome. It was probably burned from the energy that was transported to it.
"How would that happen? Tormod do you anything?" Ike asked
"N-no…" Tormod lied he remembered what Ilyana told him about not telling anyone about the necklace.
"How is Ilyana, Rhys?" Ike asked
"She is going to be fine after a good night sleep; she was knocked out by the tree." Rhys responded. He took his staff and healed her just in case if her body needed more healing. "We should leave her alone, so she won't wake up from our talking.
"Yeah, you're right." Tormod walked out first, Ike, Soren, and Rhys followed.
Ilyana was having a dream now. In her dream she was on the battle field alone. It was dark, rainy, and cold. "Where am I?" The purple haired mage looked around, she started to feel frighten. She ran everywhere but it felt like she was just going in circles. "I want to go back to my friends but how?"
"You can't they are all dead because you were afraid to show up all because of that necklace." A berserker appeared from nowhere holding a bloody axe.
"What are you talking about?" Ilyana stepped back away from him.
"It is true! You should have come here before it was too late for them then you would have put your powers to use and killed all of us enemies!"
"…" Ilyana just walked back away from him.
"Time for you to meet the same fate as your friends did." He held up his axe and ran to her.
"El Thunder!" Ilyana screamed it out; the necklace glowed with more energy in it. The energy was transported to El Thunder and since it was so much energy more than before, the necklace formed a circle under Ilyana. Lightning bursts out of the circle it looked like it was forming something.
It was forming a very huge dragon. The berserker stopped in his tracks, Ilyana looked at dragon flying around her, waiting for her command to attack.
Ilyana, tell me what I should do now. The dragon was talking inside Ilyana's mind. Ilyana nodded her head.
"El Thunder Dragon, attack that berserker now!" Ilyana commanded. The dragon charged at the berserker. It slammed the berserker; once it did a big electric explosion happened…
Ilyana gasped, she notice she was in her bed, she had woken up from a dream. "It was all just a dream…" She rested her head on the pillow…
