Cless Alvein, with the others they finally got to the sand town. Only to find they were a bit late. Finding the villagers surrounded by efreet's hell fire. After arche and Sara protected the villagers with they're elf magic Cless and Klarth attacked Efreet head on.
Sara Adnade, after her self and arche free the villagers from Efreet circle of flames; they help the villagers out of town and to the boat to safely. But Sara worries about cless and klarth and heads back to town. Only to be questioned by what she is doing up to this point by Dhaos him self. His questioning makes her feel fear in her heart again toward others around her self.
Klarth F. Lester, finds him self as well as cless having trouble taking care of efreet. They are slowly losing the battle. They both soon fall to efreet power. But luck would have it; Sara shows up in time to save the two of them. Then the three of them stop efreet freeing him from a magic stone as well.
Arche Klaine, soon after that; the three head to the boat where arche is waiting with the villagers of the village of the sand. They quickly make they way back to the castle town. Only to learn, that efreet was a trap to get them out of town! They learn monsters are heading for the castle town as they speak.
Chapter 20: the truth about Sages
"You got to be kidding!" cless yelled toward klarth. He slowly shook his head. "Efreet was a trap, dhaos was just trying to get us out of town, so he could take care of the people they're…" They couldn't help but have a shocked look on they're face.
"We should hurry they're maybe we can make it in time…!" Sara yelled to klarth. He quickly slowly nodded to her. "Yes, your right…" klarth quickly looked toward the captain. "Please let the villagers stay on your boat for now…" the captain nodded to him. "Yes, I would never put people in trouble like that…" klarth nodded to him with a small smile on his face.
They four quickly hurried off of that boat. Then quickly north. "Let's hurry, who knows how long…it will take the monsters to get they're…!" klarth yelled to the others. They nodded to klarth and took off running. They could see the castle just a bit away now but…they could see fire as well. Were they too late? "They're fire…" Sara whispered. They all couldn't help but look worried.
"Come on…!" cless yelled running across the bridge with the castle town right in front of them. They quickly ran inside the castle town. They could see blood on the streets. "No…" arche whispered shaking her head.
They watched as a guard quickly ran up to them. "What are you doing here!" he yelled at them. They all could only look lost. "The king said all villagers have to get to the castle!" Klarth tried to say something for them; but the guard would listen. "Get moving into the castle now!" he yelled pushing them up some stairs. Before long they had been pushed into the castle even. Klarth shook his head a bit. "Well…as long as we have to be in the castle let's go tell the king about efreet…" the other three slowly nodded to klarth.
A bit later in the king's room; "Ah your back!" the king said looking toward the four bowing. "Yes, my lord we are…" klarth said kneeing down. The king quickly shook his head. "No need to bow, you are heroes to us…" the king said moving his hand asking them to get off they're knees. They slowly did so.
"My lord, efreet has been stopped…" The king slowly nodded to klarth. "I'm glad to hear that, one thing no need to worry about…" The king said holding his hands together. "We heard on are way back to the castle, that monsters we're headed this way…are they still around…?" Cless asked. The king quickly shook his head.
"No, no we have taken care of all the monsters around, but as soon as we took care of half of them…they fled…" Klarth slowly placed a hand under his chin hearing this. "Something up…" klarth whispered under his breath. Sara slowly looked over to klarth. "…?" just then a guard quickly ran inside the king room.
"My lord!" the guard yelled running up to him. "What is the meaning of this! I have guests before me!" the king yelled toward the guard. "Yes, I know my lord…I'm sorry…but…the wizards under the castle feel some strong energy coming toward the castle…!" The king quickly stood up. "What!" he yelled.
"Please sir klarth would you come with me, to where the wizards are under the castle…?" the king asked. Klarth slowly nodded to him. "Yes, my lord…" klarth said. We quickly left the king's room with the king and headed down some stairs on the east side of the castle. We headed into the first room under the castle.
Rune glom quickly ran up to us as we entered the room. "My lord!" he said. The king nodded to him. "What is this energy I heard…about…?" He asked. "Come this way, I will show you my lord…" The king quickly did so. We found him up to some machine. The machine had a graphic of some kind on it. "Are machine we just finished making when off telling us about the energy…" Rune glom pointed out.
"But what is this energy…?" the king asked placing a hand under his chin. "Nothing more then pure magic power…" We all felt surprised to hear that. "Pure magic? You mean it isn't a spell of some kind…?" klarth asked. Rune glom slowly nodded looking to Sara. "Yes, that right…we haven't seen anything like this…and it coming at full speed at us…" rune glom said shaking his head.
"Is…they're anyway to stop it…?" Sara asked. Rune glom looked at her questionly. "You…grow…lady naru…" he whispered with a smile. The king quickly looked to her. "What? The princess of the elves here?" he yelled looking toward the woman. Sara just looked at the king not saying a word. "Yes…it is you…I can tell…" The king slowly shook his head a bit.
"To think a great sage was with us this long…" king said. Sara slowly looked away looking a bit upset. "Sara's…a sage…?" klarth asked looking surprised. "Yes…" Rune glom said. "Is they're anyway to stop this pure magic…?" Sara asked quickly changed the subject. Cless watched her and could tell she didn't want to talk about her being a sage.
"Yes, my lady…" rune glom said. "The only thing could stop this would be a super powerfully barrier…" they all looked questionly at Rune glom. "A…barrier…?" klarth said. "Pure magic has to be stopped by magic as well…" Rune glom answered klarth. "I see that understandable…" klarth said with a quick nod.
"…what is the highest point in the castle…?" Sara asked looking to the king. "The highest point? It would be starlight tower…on the east side of the castle lady naru…" the king answered her. "hmm…" she whispered closing her eyes.
Rune glom blinked toward her. "My, lady your not thinking about doing…what I think you are!" he yelled toward her. "Yes, I am…Rune glom…" he quickly shook his head toward her. "No! You shouldn't do that! Please!" he yelled. "Rune glom…?" the king said looking lost as the other did.
"arche…" Sara said turning toward the half-elf. "Um, yes?" she said. "Please take me up to the highest point of starlight tower…" Arche quickly stood back. "What! You can't be…" the other quickly understood what she was planning. "No!" klarth yelled toward Sara. "You can't be planning to make the barrier to protect the castle all by your self!" klarth yelled again. She slowly nodded to him. "Sara…! Don't do this! It foolish!" cless cried.
"I'm doing…it…so arche please…" arche kept on looking unsure at her. Then she slowly nodded to Sara. "Ok…if you believe it the only way to stop this pure magic…" Arche hopped into her broomstick. "Arche no! Don't take her up there!" cless yelled at the pink hair one. "I'm sorry cless but…I am doing it…" arche said with a shrug. Arche nodded to Sara to hop on.
She did so then she turned to look at the king. "Sir, don't let anyone out of the castle alright…?" she whispered to him. "Understood lady naru…" he whispered back to her. "arche let's go…" she nodded to her and quickly fled out of the room on the broomstick with Sara. "No! Wait!" cless yelled. "…I guess…when she starts an idea in her head…nothing can stop the princess…" klarth whispered closing his eyes.
"Sara…why are you being so foolish…?" cless asked him self looking toward the floor.

The two girls finally got to the top of the east tower of the castle called starlight tower. "Well…we finally made it…!" arche said feeling some sweat roll down her face. Sara slowly nodded to her stepping into the top of the tower. "Arche please head back inside…" Sara said turning away from the pink hair one. "What! You're really planning on making the barrier by your self!" she yelled. She watched her slowly nod.
"Yes, so please return inside of the castle where it safe…" Sara slowly closed her eyes holding her staff in front of her self. "Sara…you better…come back alive…then…or I will not forgive you…!" arche yelled quickly flying back down the tower. "I wish…I could promise something like that…" Sara whispered to her self. "But…if it truly pure magic…I can't…I can't promise something like that…arche…sorry…" Sara whispered closing her eyes.
She closed her eyes started to say something to her self as a huge magic circle surrounded the castle. She slowly nodded to her self. "So, this is how all the other sages died out…protecting those they care for…? Being born with great power…also would…" she slowly opened her eyes. "Would also bring quick death to them…" She slowly nodded to her self. Even if it was true; it wouldn't stop her from reacting now. She would keep going because she had too.
"Cless…your right…I am foolish aren't I?" she asked her self slowly closing her eyes again.

Back inside the castle; the castle started to shake. "What this shaking!" the king asked looking around. "I believe the princess has started making a barrier…my lord…" Rune glom whispered to the king. "What a pure spirit lady naru has…" The king said looking somewhat unhappy. "Yes, you are right my lord…" Rune glom bowing to him. "rune glom have the wizards help lady naru with the barrier…" the king pointing toward the circle of wizards.
"Yes, we will start right away…!" Rune glom quickly ran toward them. He started to talk to them. The wizards nodded and held they're hands out in a circle and started up a spell. Cless slowly shook his head watching. "She…so foolish…" cless whispered closing his eyes. "She maybe…but she believe it the right thing to do cless…" klarth whispered to cless. Cless slowly nodded to klarth. "I-I know…but still…" They quickly looked toward the wizards hearing a scream.
"What's wrong!" klarth asked running toward them. "We…can't cast the spell inside the castle for some reason…!" a shock look slowly appeared on everyone face. "What!" the king yelled. Arche quickly ran inside the room. "Arche!" cless yelled. "S-she's at the top…" arche said trying to catch her breathe.
"…" klarth slowly placed a hand under his chin. "!" klarth look of shock slowly grow. "What is it?" cless asked. "Sara casted another spell that made silent in the whole castle…in other words no one can cast magic in side here…!" he yelled. "No…" Rune glom whispered. "She truly wants to do it all alone…?" arche asked to see klarth slowly nod to her.
"Sages in the past…put all they're power…into protecting those around them…" Rune glom nodded to klarth. "Yes, and they die for that…even those they were born with great power…only so much they're bodies could take at one time…" Rune glom looked toward the ground. "Your saying…she will die after this!" cless asked in a yell toward the two. "Yes…if the pure magic force doesn't kill her before then…" klarth whispered looking worried.
"n-no…!" cless said quickly shaking his head. Rune glom slowly headed over to the screen machine and turned it on. Then he started hitting some buttons here and there. It slowly showed the top of the tower. They quickly looked shocked to really see her there. "…s-Sara!" cless yelled looking toward the screen. "She can't hear you…" rune glom whispered to him.

She staff slowly started to float into the air in front of her. She slowly nodded opening her eyes. "It closes now…so it time…" she whispered holding her hands in front of her self. "I one of legend call to you, great mother of mana…!" she yelled as the magic circle around the castle started to glow. "I ask of your pure protector…of power to come to me…I ask of your great power…in this time of need…!" she yelled as her staff started to spin in the air.
"Come to me and take me as you're…your child that wishes to protect those who I care about…Field barrier!" she yelled as a wall appeared around the circle.
------------
------------
The castle quickly started to shake. "!" rune glom looked shocked toward the screen. "This…spell…" klarth whispered. Rune glom nodded to him. "Only very powerfully healer can cast it…" Rune glom whispered to klarth. Klarth looked a bit worried hearing that. "Can…she hold it when the pure magic hits…?" Arche asked. Rune glom looked toward the half-elf for a second then looked away. "I don't know…if the pure magic is too powerfully then no…would be the answer…" he whispered closing his eyes.
Cless couldn't help but feel even more worried now. He couldn't bear to even watch this. He quickly turned away; he couldn't watch…he just couldn't! "Cless no!" he quickly blinked hearing arche voice. "Don't turns away…doing so shows you don't care what happens to her!" he quickly turned to arche in angry. "That's not true!" he yelled. She quickly hopped off her broomstick and glared at him.
"Yes it is…turned away from this…is like not facing the truth…of what is happening right now!" She yelled pointing right at him. "Arche…" he whispered looking at the floor. He quickly looked up toward her. "Your…right..." he whispered. She quickly nodded to him. "If you truly do care for her…then believe in her…believe in what she is doing is the right thing!" a small smiled appeared on the half-elf's face.
"Yes, if it the right thing to her…then I believe in her…" he quickly looked up toward the screen. They quickly heard a loud sound. They quickly started to look around the room. "What's that noise for?" The king asked looking toward Rune glom. Rune glom looked the machine over for a bit before answering him. "Sir…the pure magic is about here…" rune glom turning to him with a worried look on his face; the king slowly sighed looking toward the ground.
"So it finally came down…to this…" the king said staring at the screen. "We wait to see if a legend sage has the power to save us all…" The king slowly shaking his head. "Sara…" cless whispered watching. Klarth slowly shook his head a bit, "lady naru…" he whispered as one of his rings started to glow.
------------
------------
She blinked seeing it; she could see it! The pure magic of no magic spell or casting; It was coming right toward her. "The pure magic power it just like…the power of the mana cannon!" she yelled holding her hands in front of her self. She had to keep the barrier up or 1000's would die. She was a sage she has to do what she was born for. To protect those she cared for. "Mint…gives me your blessing in power…to protect them…please!" she yelled watching the pure magic coming closer and closer.
"Ever power…I have inside of my body…I have to do to protect them…" she whispered closing her eyes. She could feel her mana inside of her body going to her hands getting her more power. More power to stand there and try to repel the pure magic before her; then it hit the barrier.
"Uh…!" she cried trying to hold where she was standing. But it wasn't doing any good. The pure magic…was too powerfully! She was slowly losing her footing. "N-no…I have…to keep going!" she yelled staring at the pure magic. "Bu-but…I can't do this…by my self…!" she yelled slowly losing her footing more and more.
------------
------------
"…!" cless quickly stepped forward watching this. "She's losing…her footing…" rune glom whispered shaking his head a bit. "n-no…" arche whispered covering her face with her hands. Cless quickly ran out of the room; and up the stairs to the left. "Cless!" arche yelled flying after him on her broomstick. Klarth stood they're silence watching the two of them.
Cless quickly made his way up stairs then ran toward the front door. "Cless stop!" arche yelled to him. But he didn't stop. He couldn't stop. He couldn't stand to watch her do this by her self anymore. He quickly got to the front door but as he touched it. He felt a zap from the door get him. He let out a loud yell as he when flying backwards. "!" arche quickly ran to him.
"Cless!" she yelled helping him sit up. "The…door…it's…" cless said breathing heavy. "She put magic on it so no one can leave…" arche whispered. Cless looked surprised toward her. "I had a feeling she would…that why she told me to get back inside as soon as I could…" arche said shaking her head a bit. "She…thought…of everything aside from her own well being…hasn't she…?" cless asked looking at the floor.
"Cless…" arche whispered unsure of what more she could say to him. Then the two heard a yell from down stairs. They both quickly looked toward that way. "What's that klarth…?" cless asked looking up at arche. "Yes, I believe it was…" the two nodded to each other and quickly ran back toward the stairway. Then down it.
They found klarth still yelling a bit as the ring on his finger let out a huge light. They watched in shock as undine came out of the ring. "!" Klarth quickly stood back a bit. "U-undine…?" klarth called to her. She didn't answer as she looked around the room lost. "Did you summon her…?" cless asked quickly walking up to klarth. "No…I didn't…" klarth whispered looking worried.
"Where…is she…?" Undine asked still looking around the room. "Where is who, undine?" klarth asked. Then undine quickly looked up at the ceiling. "There…!" she yelled flying into the ceiling disappearing. "w-what was that about…?" arche asked. Klarth slowly shook his head. "I have no idea…" Then his side pocket started to glow. "Klarth!" cless yelled pointing at his pocket. "What…the hell?" klarth yelled opening his pocket.
They watched as three beams of light came out of it. Then they changed into the three other elements summons; Efreet, Sylph and Gnome. They quickly looked around the room. Like they were searching for something just like Undine has been doing. "Where…is ma'am…?" Sylph whispered to the other two. The other two quickly shook they're heads at her. "I don't know…" efreet whispered back to Sylph.
Gnome quickly looked toward the ceiling. "She up there!" he yelled. Sylph nodded and quickly flying into the ceiling disappeared and the other two quickly followed her; Disappearing as well. The three kept on standing there staring up at the ceiling. "What…the hell was that…!" arche yelled at klarth. "How the hell would I know!" he yelled back at arche.
"Who was sylph…calling ma'am…?" cless whispered placing a hand under his chin. "! Klarth look at the screen!" the three of them quickly turned hearing Rune glom yell to them. They stared to see the four spirits beside Sara on top of the castle. "She was talking about Sara…?" cless asked feeling that shock on still on his face.
------------
------------
"Lady Naru!" Sara quickly looked up at the voice. She looked in shock to see the four element spirits there. "w-what are you doing here…?" she asked still trying to hold her ground to the pure magic energy. "We are here to help you…" undine said pointing her sword toward the pure magic putting her power into the barrier. "Without you…are powers because…unbalanced…" efreet said holding his hands in front of him self standing beside Undine.
"A sage isn't just born to protect humans as well as elves…" sylph said spinning in front of Sara. "…" Sara didn't say a word listening to them. "You…being alive helps keep are powers in balance…" sylph yelled holding her hands in front of her self adding her power into the barrier as well. "Your power acts as a medium to keep are power equally to each other…You aren't just a princess to the elves…" Gnome adding in. "you are one as well as to us…Summon spirits…!" gnome yelled adding his power into the barrier as well.
"Yes…that right…a sage has more then one reason to be alive…" Sara whispered to her self. "Then…help me…stop this pure magic…together with me great element spirits!" Sara yelled putting her heart into the barrier.
------------
------------
"I-is that true…?" klarth asked looking to Rune glom. He slowly nodded. "Yes…to the summon spirit she helps keep they're powers about equally so they don't go wild and fight each other…" Rune glom whispered looking at the screen. "But…they did go wild! And attack people!" arche yelled. Rune glom slowly nodded. "That wasn't her fault or the summon spirits…that was those magic stones…" Rune glom said lightly glaring at Arche. She started to sweat a bit.
"But…what are they doing…out there…?" cless asked pointing at the screen. "Helping her…they felt that she was in trouble and when to help…without her…they have trouble living…" Rune glom said with a small smile. "With they're power…they can stop the pure magic!" king slowly nodded to Rune glom. "Yes, but let's prey that power is…all needed to truly stop it…" the king whispered closing his eyes.
------------
------------
The four spirits nodded to her; they quickly disappeared into a ball of energy in front of her. "Uh!" she whispered under her breath. "I see…I understand….let's do it…!" she yelled holding the ball of energy in front of her. She opened a small hole in the barrier then pushed the ball of energy with some of her mana from her body toward the pure magic before her.
"Go!" she yelled watching it fly as the hole in the barrier slowly closed. She watched as the two hit head on. "Ahhh!" she yelled covering her eyes. The light was blinding. She couldn't see anything. Before she knew it; she tripped and started falling off of the tower of the castle.
