Together As One
Ch 4
Izz watched as Krya appeared. There was an evil smile on her face as he tried to break free.
"I can't believe he has great power in him endowed to him by his parents. But Mom told me I have to make him angry. This shall be fun." All I have to do is make him angry.
That's how his power activates itself." She thought as she slashed Izz's arm with her taloned hand.
He gritted his teeth as he felt pain throb through his body as she kept hurting him.
"Why won't you use it to save yourself? You're badly injured." She told him.
"What're you talking about? I don't understand!" Izz replied to her.
"Don't play dumb Psammead! I'm talking about the power your parents endowed you with but it's been dormant within you but only great strength can release it!" she answered but then she was knocked off her feet as Carley appeared.
"Let him go!" she yelled but Krya smiled evilly.
She knew Izz carecfor this human more than anything.
"Think fast loser!" she yelled as she released her most strongest attack on the girl.
Izz watched as the dust settled and his friend was lying there greatly wounded.
He watched as Krya cackled at this.
"What're you going to do Izz? You know you're a nobody, aloser, a failure like your friend! Why save a human? Magical beings are more higher on the food chain than mere mortals.
Especially disabled, weak ones like her!" she told him.
Izz then felt a strange feeling emerging in his heart.
"What is this feeling? It's…. like I'm on fire! Krya thinks humans are weak but they're not! They can be evil but some are kind, brave and loving towards us especially my friends!
Now I see why I'm strong.
With them, I can't lose.
Is this the power she was talking about?" he thought as his eyes turned to violet eye slits and his fur changed from grey to black with spikes.
His finger tips became claws.
"At last it's emerged! I knew his anger at seeing a friend hurt would actuvate it!" Krya thought as she lunged at him but he vanished but reappeared behind her.
"I won't let you hurt them! They're my friends! Nothing, not even the food chain will change that! Equixis!" Izz snarled as great power emerged from him and surrounded the caves destroying Krya's power.
"We'll meet again!" Krya said fading.
Izz then came over to Carley. He felt odd. There was too much power rushing through him to control it.
He had to let it out before it consumed him and went insane.
He ran into the Domin Forest.
Suddenly from his home in the Forest of Hope Jen felt an awesome surge of magic rip through the Domin Forest.
Izz smiled as he was exhausted. His eyes became kind and his fir was soft and grey again.
He then walked back into the Caves and saw Carley staggering to her feet.
"What you did…. Was cool. How did you do that?" she said as they went through the portal and back into her room.
"I'm not sure." He answered as his eyes closed as they lay on the bed…
Leah was shocked when she saw her best friends lying there hurt.
"What happened to them?" she asked herself but then Jen appeared.
"I believe I know what happened. Krya led Izz into a trap by saying that his parents were in the Caves of Misery to get him to come but it was to make him unleash an ancient power within him that was his parent's gift to him before they were lost.
Carley had went there to rescue him but Krya used this to her upper hand and it made him unleash this power dormant within him." he explained to her.
"What is this power they endowed him?" Leah and Elisa asked him curious.
"It's the Flame of Equinix. It has been passed down to many in his family for countless years.
Only because it's only activated in times of great rage or bravery, it's hard to control and some wielders go insane." Jen answered her.
"Why would they?" Leah asked worried.
"It can take over those who are hurting within easily but that's why Izz's heart must be made stronger." Jen answered as he faded.
Later that night Izz woke up feeling tired but sore. His birth medallion was on the bedside table and he put it on.
He looked sad as he watched Carley sleep.
Right now he was confused.
Where had that power he'd used came from?
Maybe Leah and the others would help him but he saw Jen appear.
"What you used was the Flame of Equinix. Your father used it to seal the Angel of Darkness away.
Your parents endowed it upon you as their gift before they were lost.
It can only be activated in times of extreme rage or bravery but it's hard to master.
Some wielders have even gone mad because it took over them because they were hurting within and it used that to change them.
That's why your heart must be pure and strong." he explained.
Izz understood as he saw his friend leave.
Leah smiled as he entered the kitchen but it gave him more things to ponder...
He had an idea about finding his parents...
