Tales of Phantasia
(Author note: this take place after tales of phantasia the game)
Cless Alvein, with the other three made they're way back toward town to report to the king. About what had happened in Morlia Gallery. But soon after they finished they're report they quickly left the castle starting out again.
Sara Adnade, as well as the others couldn't help but wonder why dhoas was making magic stones that steal the summon spirits souls from they're body. But they quickly left the castle starting out toward the tower of the 12 stars wondered about Luna.
Arche Klaine, on the boat ride over to freland made a bit of a bill for the team when she when to eat inside the cabin. 10,000 gald arche ate in and klarth had to pay the bill in the end.
Klarth F. Lester, as well as the others let Sara pick if they would rest in Olive village before moving on to the tower of the 12 stars or not. She picks to move on to the tower of the 12 stars being over worried about Luna. But none of the less they are all worried if something has happened to the spirit of the moon.
Artemis, the fairy that lives in the tower of the 12 stars with Luna. But shortly after the team get to the tower they meet with Artemis. Luna has changed he tell them. It appears they are far too late…
Chapter 24: Save Luna! And Restore the broken rings!
Hurry…they had to hurry!! To Luna…but it was far too late! Even those…they didn't stop to rest in the village of the sand. But…somehow they we're always one step behind dhaos. But…how in the world? Was…Dhaos always ahead of them?
Could he just had planned things this way? No…that couldn't be it. Maybe…he knew the way they we're thinking? But…even so…the spirit of the moon was now. Sara couldn't help but think. The spirit of the moon ended up just like all the others. They had to hurry to her before she could do any destroy to the town of Midgard close by.
Dhaos…what was he really? Maybe if they knew that…they would know why he was doing this. They needed answers but for the time being they wouldn't find any would they? All they would find with be danger wherever they when too.
"Hurry!" klarth yelled breaking the silent around the four as they hurried up stairs in front of them. "We are!" Arche growled toward the summoner beside her. They maybe have been…but the closer they got to the top of the tower the more the place shook.
Luna's power was out of control as it was. Especially without a soul to control it. Luna's mana was going hay-wirer. They had destroyed the magic stone before…something really did happen to the town of Midgard.
The four quickly stopped running as the room started to shake ever more. They four couldn't help but scream. They couldn't run right now. They had to wait for the shaking to slow down a bit. "…god!" arche screamed. "…her mana…going crazy…" Sara cried trying to keep her footing. "…we have to make it there! Before something really does happen!" cless cried having trouble holding his footing him self.
"We can't…right now…even if we got up there…we will be killed if we enter the room where Luna is!" Klarth pointed out. Cless knew klarth was right. "I know…but still…!" cless cried quickly losing his balance. "Ahh!" cless yelled falling into his ass. The other three soon lost they're balance as well. "…her power unbelievable…" klarth whispered trying to get into his knees.
Just then the four quickly looked up to see part of the wall break apart and start to fall toward them. They're was no way they could get out of the way in time. "S-Sara!" klarth yelled to her. She slowly nodded as she held her staff over them. "Field barrier!!" she yelled as a barrier surrounded the four.
Just as the broken parts of the wall fell into the barrier. Sara had just cast the spell in time. But if this kept up…the barrier wouldn't hold out. They we're in some real trouble. Yes…real trouble indeed.
But just then the tower quickly stopped shaking. The four couldn't help but look around confused. Why had Luna stopped? Klarth slowly nodded to Sara to remove the barrier. And she did so. The four slowly made they're way to there feet.
But now…it was too quiet in the tower. What in the world could have happened? They couldn't help all but wonder. "I don't like this…" klarth whispered to the others. "But…isn't it better that the tower stopped shaking?" arche asked climbing into her broomstick. "Yes…but…" klarth said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Could the quiet be…a trap to throw us off?" Sara asked stepping up beside klarth. "Yes…that would be my guess…" klarth said nodding a bit to him self. "Oh…come on! They're no way! A trap would be quiet like this!" arche said floating backward toward the stairs in front of them. "Arche wait!" klarth yelled.
"It's ok klarth! Just you watch!" arche said slowly turning around to face the stairs. "…that arche for you…" cless said sighing to him self. The three quickly hurried after arche. But as the four got to the stairs they watched as mud like monsters came out of the ground before them.
"Ahh!" arche yelled quickly backing up. "…a trap as I said…" klarth said with a sigh opening his book. "No…they are trying to stop us from getting any closer to Luna…!" Sara said as she stared down at her staff. "…why keep us from her? Dhaos has taken control of her right? What would the point of keeping us away now do?" arche asked pointing toward the mud monsters before them as she started to throw some fire balls at them.
"I do not know. But…whatever the reason; we have to break these monsters down. And move on forward!" Klarth yelled as the pages in his book started to turn on they're own. "I call to you great father of hell flames…! I one…who has made contact with the spirit of fire! My name is klarth!" klarth yelled as a magic circle appeared in front of him.
Cless held his sword in front of him waiting for the second to attack; with these monsters being made out of mud. Fire would harden them. Then he could slice them apart with his sword.
Arche slowly looked toward Sara. The two nodded to each other they knew what to do. What was needed to be done. The two held they're hands in front of them selves. "Great god of burning hell flames…! We call to you and ask of your power to help stop those evil ones standing in front of us! Come and stop them in they're tracks with your fire rage!" The two yelled as a magic circle appeared in front of both of them.
"Great spirit of fire! Come before me! Come Efreet!!" klarth yelled as fire came out of the magic circle in front of him and formed into the spirit of Fire efreet. Efreet started to throw fire ball toward the mud monsters. "Fire Storm!" The two screamed as fire when flying at the monsters as efreet attacked them as well. "Cless!" klarth yelled over to the swordsman. "Got it!" Cless yelled running toward the monsters before them. "Akisazame!" cless yelled as he stabbed the mud monsters over and over again. Soon the monsters disappeared. Cless looked back to the others then they slowly nodded toward him.
"klarth keep efreet out…I'm sure more monsters are ahead…" Sara whispered to him. "Understood…got that efreet?" klarth asked the fire summon before them. "Understood…let's do this." Efreet growled. The four quickly hurried up the stairs in front of them. Luna…her power…going out of control…they had to stop her before something happened to the town close by. Or…that town would be destroy.
Soon after they made it up the stairs they found more monsters waiting for them. "Looks like you we're right…" klarth whispered. Sara slowly nodded to him. "Klarth!" cless yelled holding his sword ready. "Right…Efreet!" klarth yelled to the fire summon. The summon quickly when at the monsters before him throwing fire balls at them. "Fire ball!" arche yelled holding some fireball at the mud monsters as well. Cless nodded to him self as he raced toward the monsters before him. "Koguhazan!" he yelled hitting the monsters up and down then they disappeared.
"…He is trying to slow us down with these monsters…" Klarth whispered to the others. "Slow us down?" arche asked. "Yeah…" Sara whispered. It was like dhaos knew what she was planning to do when she got to Luna. But they're was no way he could know that right? He couldn't know…about that magic she had…that could…? She wondered. It was like…dhaos was always one step ahead of them for some reason. But…how in the world could that be?
"I take it you know why…" klarth said eyeing the sage beside him. "…yes…I need Luna…to repair the rings of contact for you and the summon spirits…" Sara whispered quietly. "…you have that kind of power?" klarth asked stepping back a little. "No…and yes. Without Luna. I do not…but with her I do." Sara whispered feeling worried about even doing it. "…so…is that the sage's magic?" klarth asked. "I guess…you could call it that. But…I wouldn't call it really magic to start with." She felt nervous. She had never done it before. And when she did…she would. She quickly shook the thought off.
"I never heard of that kind of magic…" arche said. "It's not very well known arche…" klarth pointed out. "I do not know very much about it… as well. But…I have heard it unbelievable when one sees it." Klarth said placing a hand under his chin. "…" Sara didn't say a word as she started toward the stairs in front of them. "…Sara?" cless asked. "…I think you made her angry." Arche said with a grin. "Indeed it looks that way…let's hurry on arche and cless." Klarth said following after Sara. The two slowly nodded as hurried after him as well.
But…why had she gotten angry? When klarth had just talked about the sage magic? Was there something about this magic…Sara wasn't telling them? It wouldn't surprise him. Unbelievable when one sees it? Maybe it was the wrong words to say to her. Maybe…it wasn't unbelievable after all…maybe it was something that should never be used?
Soon the four made it to the top. "Finally…" arche said with a sigh. "…Luna just up those stairs now." Cless whispered to the others. "Yeah…we should be ready for anything…" klarth whispered opening his book. "Klarth…I want to you call Maxwell out…and keep him out, we will need him." Sara whispered to him. "…Maxwell? You sure…I should call him out so soon?" klarth felt puzzled. "Yes…and keep him out even after Luna is freed from the stone." She said staring toward the stairs in front of them. "…you need him out after because what your going to do? With fixing the rings?" klarth asked. Sara kept silent not answering him.
"Very well…I will." Klarth whispered to her. "…I the one who has made a contact with the four elements call to the one who watches over them…I call out the one of judgment…I call for you to come before me! The one who has made a contact with you as well…my name is Klarth!" klarth yelled as a magic circle appeared before them. Maxwell slowly came out of the magic circle. "Ho ho!" Maxwell said as he floated up into the air. "Maxwell we are counting on you." Klarth said. "Understood, leave it to me." Maxwell said. "…ready?" Sara asked klarth. "Yes, we are." Klarth said. "Then what are we waiting for?!" arche asked.
"Yes…let's go." Cless whispered holding his sword at his side. He was ready for anything Luna made have waiting for them. Or…should he say Dhaos. After all…this was all his. Cless started to think as the four entered the top floor. But as they entered Luna send an attack they're way. They all quickly jumped out of the way. "Luna!" Klarth yelled toward her. But…the look on her face was nothing but blank. No…feeling at all. "…that looks." Cless whispered to him self.
"Yes…she has a stone as well." Sara whispered holding her staff in front of her self. "…Maxwell…" klarth whispered to the floating spirit beside him. "Understood, summoner." Maxwell said quickly hurrying toward the spirit of the moon. Cless stood ready to attack as well; and ready for what maybe send they're way next.
"Arche!" Sara whispered to the half-elf. Arche quickly nodded to her as she stood on her broomstick. "I call for your great power…that will attack like a blade! Thunder Blade!" Arche yelled holding her arms up into the air; as a wave of energy zapped Luna. Cless quickly nodded to him self and raced toward the spirit of the moon. Now…was his change. Maxwell knew it
As well and started to attack the spirit of the moon.
Luna was more so in a Paralysis state then anything. "Cless aim for the stone!" Sara yelled toward him. "I know!" He yelled back toward her; as he held his sword in front of him. But the problem was…he didn't see the stone anywhere. "Koguhazan…!" cless yelled hitting Luna up and down with his sword. But…no stone fell. But…she had to have one right? But…even if she had one…wouldn't she have dropped it by now?
"….where's the stone?" Cless asked him self without coming up with an answer. He stepped back a bit trying to catch his breath. The stone was no where to be seen. "…you see it to, don't you cless?" klarth asked him. "Yes…Luna not dropping the stone…like the others. Could a stone really be controlling her?" cless asked. "I don't know…but regardless…we can't leave her as she is. The town close by would be in danger then." Klarth pointed out. "I know…but." Cless whispered.
How could they stop her without knowing what was controlling her? "Keep….going for now as we are…" klarth whispered pointing toward Maxwell to let on another attack. "Right." Cless whispered holding his sword at his side. "Juushourai!" cless yelled as energy surrounded him. His speed quickly picked up and he hurried toward the spirit of the moon again.
"…is it not working?" arche asked looking toward Sara. "…I don't know…but…" Sara whispered shaking her head a bit. "…we have to keep trying right? We can't just leave Luna as she is now, right?" arche asked. "Yeah….that's right. Her power right now are very un-balance…if we did leave her as she is. Who knows what she may do." Sara whispered holding her staff in front of her self as she started to cast a spell. "Then…I'll keep trying." Arche said holding her arms over her head again. Sara slowly nodded toward her. "Acid rain!" Sara cried lowering Luna defense.
"Thunder blade!" Arche cried zapping Luna again with the spell. It…has to give…sometime. Whatever…was controlling Luna stone or something stronger then that. Couldn't hold out forever right? "…Luna…" Sara whispered closing her eyes. It was painful…to see the summon spirits like this. So painful…was it because of who she was? Or was it not even because of that? Was she just worried about them? Yes…she was. And…Dhaos…even attacked her. Even Luna. Sara quickly shook her head a bit.
She would free Luna…from this no matter what. She had too. To save Chester as well…she had to save Luna and fix the rings. "…Great god of flames from hell…I call of your power to stop this one in her tracks…!" Sara yelled as a magic circle appeared before her. "Fire Wall!" she yelled as a wall of fire surrounded the spirit of the moon. Luna quickly started to scream as a stone was seeing falling from her.
"That's…!" arche cried as the stone hit the ground and broke. Energy came out of the stone and when flying toward Luna. "…mana…" Sara whispered to her self. "Mana?" cless asked. "My guess would be…its Luna's mana…her spirit in other words…" klarth said closing his book. Luna quickly fell to the ground as the mana surrounded her. "Luna!" Sara cried as she raced over to the spirit of the moon. Klarth quickly followed after her.
"…Luna!" Sara cried again. "Is alright…give her a minute to recover…" klarth whispered to the sage as he placed a hand on her shoulder. She slowly nodded to her self as she stepped back a bit. "…what happened?" Luna quickly spoke up as she looked around confused. Luna slowly starts to float up into the air again. "Luna!" Sara cried again. "…huh? What is all this?" she asked looking to each one of the humans she found staring toward her.
"How do you feel Luna?" klarth asked. "…a bit light headed but aside from that I feel fine…" Luna said shaking her head a bit. "…but what brings you here sir summoner?" Luna asked looking a bit lost. "She doesn't recall as well…" arche whispered to klarth. He slowly nodded toward the pink hair girl. "…never mind that right now, Luna…" klarth said waving a hand in front of him self.
"…hmm…if you say so…" Luna whispered looking puzzled. "…Luna…I need your power…please…helps me repair these contact rings…!" Sara cried taking out the broken rings and showing them to her. "…repair them? I do not have the power to repair rings…maybe if a sage…was still…" Luna said starting to finish saying her thought out loud. "Oh…my! I'm sorry…you are a sage. No wonder…your asking." Luna circled around Sara a bit. "It's been so long…I have seen one. Please tell me your name, sage." Luna said as she stopped in front of her again.
"…I have two names…Naru Anna is my elfin name…and my human name is Sara Adnade…" Sara answered the spirit of the moon. "…naru? You say? Ah…the princess of the elves…very rare this is…elfin blood in a sage…but this is very normal…" Luna shook her head a bit. "Are you saying…all sage have elfin blood?" klarth asked. "Yes…the level of magic sage cast is on a whole different level to ones of full elfin blood…or even half-elf." Luna said nodding a bit. "…that's why…they died out…" Sara whispered. "…yes…sadly…great power…also takes something away in return…" Luna whispered shaking her head a bit.
"…what do you mean takes something away in return?" cless asked. "Well…this powerful magic sages…cast takes from them…" Luna started to say. "No…Luna. Don't tell them." Sara said stepping toward the spirit of the moon. "But…don't they have the right to know?" Luna asked. "Yes…but I don't want them to know." Sara whispered to her. "Very well…but…is your body and soul ready…for this kind of magic? If you aren't ready to do this…then I have no need to try too with you." Luna pointed out.
"…I have to be ready. I have to do this…so please…" Sara whispered staring toward the moon goddess. "…very well. I will help you repair the broken rings. But…be careful…sage." Luna warned her. "I know…Luna. I know…far too well." Sara whispered to the spirit of the moon. "Everyone….please step back…" Sara cried.
Klarth looked toward cless and arche. Then the three slowly nodded and did as they we're asked. "…ready?" Sara whispered. "…yes, go ahead. My power is your power…sage." Luna said closing her eyes.
"Klarth…? Do you know…what Luna was speaking about?" cless asked. "You mean…great power…takes something in return?" klarth asked the blonde swordsman. "Yes…" cless whispered. "No…I do not. Very little is known about sage as it is. Aside from them not living very long." Klarth whispered feeling a bit worried. "…you don't think…Luna was saying…it drains…the caster life…do you?" arche asked.
"What?!" cless asked. "…that would explain…many things about sage. If that really is true. But…don't jump to anything Cless…arche is just making a guess right?" Klarth asked glaring toward the half-elf. "Y-yeah…it just a guess…" arche said feeling a sweat drop roll down the back of her head. "…and that guess would be right." Maxwell spoke up.
"Ahh!" Arche yelled falling off her broomstick. "…you're serious…?" cless asked. "Yes…that why she didn't want Luna to say anymore." Maxwell shook his head a bit. "…the children are always the ones to pay…it is a sad world…" Maxwell said with a sigh. Cless quickly hurried toward Sara. "…what energy that boy has. Ho ho!" Maxwell said with a laugh. "…Maxwell…" klarth said shaking his head a bit.
Sara closed her as she as begin to cast. Luna blinked a bit seeing the swordsman running toward them. "…Sara…you may have a small problem…" Luna said eyeing the running blonde swordsman a bit behind her. "…Sir Maxwell has a big mouth…" Sara whispered as she opened her eyes. "Sara stops!" cless yelled to her.
"No…" Sara quickly answered him. "Please don't do this! It's…foolish!" cless yelled toward her again. "Foolish…? Foolish…to wish to save others? Then you're foolish too…Cless…" Sara said closing her eyes again. "…that's not what I mean! And you very well know it! What your doing is foolish…repair the rings at the cost of your life!" cless cried stepping closer. "…no only some of my life…regardless…I am still doing this. It is something I have to do as a sage…" Sara whispered as an energy barrier surrounded her and Luna.
"Sara stop!" cless yelled touching the barrier. He was quickly thrown back as he touched it. "…cless!" Arche yelled as klarth and her self raced over to him. Cless slowly sat up. "Do not try to stop me…this is what I have to do. After all Sages…are born to be nothing more then sacrifices…" Sara whispered as energy surrounded her body.
