Cless Alvein, witharche's help quickly left the castle to save Sara from her fall. They lucky got they're in time catching her safely. Only having to fight a strong wind around them; to try to get safely back into the castle.
Sara Adnade, passed out from putting out too much energy with the four elements summon spirits. But was saved thanks to arche and cless. But a bit later she came too safe inside the castle walls again.
Arche Klaine, helped cless saved the falling Sara. But a bit after they laid down to rest. The castle quickly started to shake like crazy. They have no idea what the shaking was about at all.
Klarth F. Lester, soon after the castle stop starting. The king enters they're room; and is soon followed by a guard. The guard tells them that Morlia Gallery had a cave in and that treasure hunters are trapped inside. But the king wonders why a cave in would happen now. But klarth had a feeling he knows why. He remembers that the summon spirit of judge ment sleep in the bottom of the cave!
Chapter 22: Stop the Lord of Judge Ment
The group soon found them self outside the cave of Morlia Gallery. They all nodded to each other and quickly headed inside. They felt the ground shaking as soon as they entered. "Whoa…!" arche cried climbing into her broom stick. The shaking started to pick up some more. "Whoa is right…!" klarth said holding his hat on top of his head. It felt like the cave would give in any minute. "The cave feels unsafe we should hurry and find the treasure hunters as well as Maxwell…" Cless whispered to the others. We nodded to him and quickly started toward the stairs a bit north of the enter door.
"This way!" cless yelled quickly starting down the short-cut they had made years ago when they first came here. He could hear them quickly following after him. But the far down they when down the stairs; the more shaking they felt. They finally made they way half way down to hear screams for help not too far away from them. "That…sounds like people…" Sara whispered to cless. He slowly nodded to her. "Yeah, we better find them quickly…!" cless whispered back to her.
"The screams were just a bit north of us…" klarth whispered looking to a door a bit northeast. They nodded toward klarth and quickly ran in the door then toward the west. They quickly entered the next room. But quickly stopped in they're tracks. They found a group of treasure hunters trapped with fire around them. "They're trapped…" klarth whispered.
Sara slowly looked over to arche. "Arche!" she yelled to the pink hair girl. "Right behind you!" arche yelled following her up to the fire that surrounded the treasure hunters. "Great god of freezing ice…we ask of your freezing hate to free these people from the burning flames around them!" they both yelled toward holding they hands in front of them selves. Then two magic circles appeared. "Ice Tornado!" they both yelled as a tornado of ice surrounded the burning flames; then slowly put the flames out.
The treasure hunters all looked all. But they had some burns marks on they're arms and legs. But aside from that they looked alright. "Is everyone…here who was in the cave…?" klarth asked stepping in front of us. "No…" a female treasure hunter spoke up. "No?" klarth asked.
"Yes…a flying old man attacked me putting this flame around us…but two men followed him deep into the cave…" another female treasure hunter spoke up. "Maxwell…" cless whispered to klarth. Klarth slowly nodded. "Ok…I want all of you to leave now…we will stop the one who attacked you as well as save the other two treasure hunters…" Klarth said holding his book close to his chest.
"Yes, alright…thank you for saving us…" one of the girl said staring at klarth. "Think nothing of it…" klarth said sweating a bit, and took a step back a little. "He didn't do anything…but he getting all the thanks…" arche said crossing her arms looking angry. "She does…have a point…" Sara whispered. "Mmm-Hmm…" cless nodded a bit toward her.
"So…you said your name was klarth?" one of the female treasure hunters asked klarth. "Uh…we really should get moving!" klarth yelled grabbing the three and hurrying down the stairs. The female treasure hunters could only look confused. "Maybe he shy…?" one of them asked the other. "Looks that way…oh well…he looks too old for us anyways…" they giggled making they way up the stairs toward the outside.
"Well…the ladies sure like you, klarth…" arche said grinning a bit after they made they're way down stairs. "Oh…just shut up!" klarth yelled feeling his face was a bit red. "Hehe" arche grinned a bit watching his reaction. "I said shut up!" klarth yelled waving his arms in front of him self. "Hehe…" cless and Sara both joined in laughing toward him.
"w-we don't have time for this! We have to keep moving! And stop Maxwell!" even those klarth was changing the subject. He did have a point. "Yes, your right klarth…" cless said rubbing the back of his head. "Ok...ok…gees…you take away all my fun…" arche said kicking up some mud with her broom stick. "Yep, that all part of the job, arche…" klarth said nodding a bit. Arche quickly hit klarth over the head with her broom stick. "Job? What job!" she yelled glaring at him.
Cless slowly shook his head a bit watching them. Sara followed his lead and shook her head as well. "Should we leave them here and go on ahead…?" Sara asked looking to cless. "Sounds good to me…" cless and Sara quietly left the two fighting each other. "Hey! Where do you think your going without me!" arche yelled quickly hurrying after them and klarth quickly followed after her.
Cless could feel a sweat drop roll down the back of his head as he was being yelled at by arche. For trying to leave her behind with klarth; even those it wasn't his idea to begin with. But he didn't tell her that. "Maybe you will learn not to try to leave me behind again…!" arche yelled flying side by side with cless. Cless didn't answer her as he looked away from her. Sara couldn't help but laugh a bit watching the two. "Glad…someone finds this funny…" cless whispered to Sara sounding a bit angry.
"Well…just as long I'm not the one getting yelled at…" Sara whispered to him. "Thought as much…" cless shook his head a bit. They made they're way back into the stair way. But they quickly stopped feeling the ground under them shaking a lot. "Ahhh!" arche yelled falling off of her broom stick. "Whoa…! It's a big one…!" cless cried trying to stay on his feet. "Ahhh!" Sara yelled falling into her butt as well as did Klarth. But a bit after that; the shaking quickly stopped again.
Sara and klarth slowly made they way to they're feet again as did Arche. "…it's Maxwell…" klarth whispered out of no where. "Huh?" arche asked hopping back into her broom stick. "Maxwell…making the cave shake like this…" klarth whispered quickly starting down the stairs. "K-Klarth! W-wait up!" Arche yelled quickly starting after him. "We should hurry after them Sara…" cless whispered looking down at her.
"Right…!" she said as the two quickly hurried after the other two. But Sara couldn't help but worried; what Maxwell's power could be doing in the wrong hands. As did efreet's power; did Maxwell have a magic stone as well? She wondered. If he did…they would be in for some trouble. She knew that for sure. She slowly nodded to her self. She couldn't get lost in her thoughts now. She had to stay where she was now and deal with what was going to come.
They made they're way to the bottom of Morlia gallery finally. They could hear screams as they entered the last floor. "That has to be…" arche whispered to klarth. He quickly nodded to her. "Yes…the last two treasure hunters…! We have to hurry to they're aid!" klarth yelled making a run for it. "h-hey! Wait!" arche yelled hurrying after him. Cless and Sara we're trying to catch they're breath. "Huh…c-come on…S-Sara…!" cless whispered breath heavy as he hurry after the two. "o-ok..!" she answered him. She quickly followed him feeling her self breathing heavy as well.
Soon they found the room where they had heard the screaming from. They found two treasure hunters countered with they're walls to the back. But that wasn't all…Maxwell was before them! "g-get away!" one of the treasure hunters cried toward Maxwell. Maxwell didn't say a word as he held his staff into the air. "Noooo! Please…!" the second treasure hunter cried. "Ice Needle!" a voice yelled as needles of ices stopped Maxwell from attacking the treasure hunters.
Maxwell slowly turned around to see who would dare attack him. "Maxwell leave them be!" Klarth yelled toward him. Maxwell didn't say a word as he stared toward him blankly. "Just like the others…" arche whispered to klarth. Klarth slowly nodded to her as he opened his book he has in his hand. Sara and cless quickly ran up behind them. "Quickly leave!" Sara yelled to the treasure hunters. The treasure hunters looked a bit dumb founded but did as they we're told and ran toward the exit. Cless and Sara made sure they we're safely out before stepping up to side by side with klarth and arche.
"Maxwell looks…" Cless whispered taking his sword into his hand. "Yes…I believe he has a stone…cless…" klarth whispered to him. The four stared toward the summon spirit of judge ment. They couldn't help but wonder if they would make the first move or he would. But they didn't get to wonder long as the Maxwell quickly started toward them.
"He comes!" klarth yelled. Cless nodded a bit looking toward the girls. "Back klarth up!" cless yelled as he started toward Maxwell. "Right!" both girls yelled to him. "I call to you great mother of mana…I ask for your power…!" Sara yelled as her staff floated in front of her. "I ask for you to speed this one up…!" she yelled pointing toward cless as a magic circle appeared before her. "HASTE!" she yelled. Cless felt his speed quickly pick up. He felt so light on his feet. Cless held his sword before him and slowly bring it toward Maxwell. "Akisazame!" cless yelled hitting Maxwell with a storm of sword hits.
Klarth held his book open in front of him self; as he placed his other hand pointing toward Maxwell. "I Call to you great father of hell flames…! I one…who has made contact when the spirit of fire! My name is Klarth!" klarth yelled as a magic circle appeared under him self. Arche nodded to her self standing on her broom stick. "Great god of the night sky I call to thy!" Arche yelled pointing her hands toward Maxwell.
"I call for your great power…that will attack like a blade!" she yelled as a magic circle appeared before her. "THUNDER BLADE!" she yelled as a blade of thunder came down attacking Maxwell. Maxwell felt back a bit. Klarth nodded a bit as flames started to surround the magic circle under him. "Come to my aid…! Come Efreet!" klarth yelled holding the book into the air with bold hands. The flames quickly started to turn into the summon spirit of fire. Then after efreet became whole and quickly started throwing fire balls at Maxwell.
"Koguhazan!" cless yelled hitting Maxwell up and down with his sword. Maxwell slowly fell into his back. But they didn't see him drop a stone. They all looked lost. "S-shouldn't he have drop the stone by now…?" arche asked floating next to klarth. "Y-yes…" klarth whispered feeling sweat roll down his face. He felt like something was wrong here. Why didn't he drop a stone? He slowly looked over to Sara. She gave him a look. Did she feel it too? He wondered.
Cless slowly lower his sword watching Maxwell closely. Cless felt it too. Something wasn't right. Something really wasn't right here. But out of no where a huge energy came toward them. "DUCK!" cless yelled toward the others. They quickly did so. The energy just missed them. All four of them we're on diffence sides of the room now. "What in the world…?" klarth asked slowly sitting up. But he didn't see Maxwell anywhere. "…?" he quickly looked around the room.
He then heard a scream. Cless and arche quickly sat up as well. They all saw, Maxwell had Sara trapped with her back to a wall. "Sara…!" cless yelled. Cless was ready to race toward her. "Stop cless!" Klarth yelled. Cless quickly did as he was told. "B-but!" cless said looking toward the summoner. "Maxwell may attack her if…we get too close…" arche whispered to cless. He knew they had a point. But…they couldn't just sit there and watch and do nothing for her!
Cless heard him self growl to him self under his breath.
"M-Maxwell…" Sara whispered staring at the summon spirit of judge ment. He didn't say a word to her. He just kept giving her a cold stare. "…?" Sara looked at him questionly. "…!" she quickly shook her head at him. "…that's what the stone…is needed for…!" she yelled out loud. "The stone…take…the summon spirits…soul away from it body! Then the mana goes hey-wirer…!" klarth couldn't believe it. Could it be true? If it was true…that would…tell them why the summons we're attacking people!
"Hmm…so you finally found it out…" a voice whispered out of no where. "That voice…" arche whispered. "Dhaos! Where are you hiding?" cless yelled but didn't get an answer. "I told you…before sage…but you keep helping humans…you're so foolish…So foolish…helping them will only bring you to your end…you should know that…by now…" The voice whispered to her. "…" she didn't answer as she stared at Maxwell. "w-what is the point…of stealing…they're souls…?" she asked. "…why would I tell the likes of you?" Dhaos asked. "…you need they're souls for some reason…o-or you wouldn't be doing this…" Sara whispered quickly throwing some fireball at Maxwell knocking him back. "Yes…but you keep destroying my plans…" dhaos said as his voice slowly disappeared.
They watched as a stone slowly fell from Maxwell. "The stone…" arche whispered as it slowly disappeared. "Maxwell should be alright now…" Sara whispered making her way over to him. "a-are you alright, Sara?" cless asked looking worried toward her. "I-I'm fine…" she whispered back to him. "Maxwell…?" klarth said calling to him. "What in the world…?" Maxwell asked slowly starting to float again. "Oh boy…my head feels like it spinning…" Maxwell said looking around the room. "Uh…? That weird…how did I get in this room?" he asked looking confused.
Klarth gave Sara a look. "Yes…looks like what you said is right Sara…damnit how can dhaos do this to them!" klarth kept on cussing to him self. "Yes…" Sara said looking at the ground. Maxwell quickly came up to her. "Oh…oh! Oh my!" he cried looking at her. The others looked confused watching the spirit. "…I haven't seen a sage…for…I don't even know how long…" Maxwell said floating in front of her. "You can tell…?" arche asked. "Oh yes…her mana…passes any elf or half-elf…her mana feels so pure…it feels like it cleans the soul…" Maxwell sighed a bit. He closed his eyes. "He looks like he going to fall asleep…" cless whispered feeling a sweat drop roll down the back of his head.
"Yep…" Sara said with a sigh. Klarth coughed a bit poking Maxwell. "What? What! I'm up!" Maxwell yelled. All four of them fell sweat drop roll down the back of they're heads. "Maxwell we need…your" but he got cut off as Maxwell looked surprised toward him. "Oh…summoner didn't see you there…" Maxwell said laughing to him self. Klarth looked a bit angry toward him. "Oh yes, I guess you want my help…well as long as the sage is with you, I will help you as well…" Maxwell said slowly disappearing. Klarth shook his head a bit. He had nothing to say.
"We should head back to town to tell the king that everything is alright…in morlia gallery…now…" klarth said still looking a bit angry. "y-yeah…" arche said feeling sweat roll down her face. "Well let's start back toward town…" cless whispered, as the four slowly made they way out of morlia gallery and back toward the castle town.
