Apologies on the short chappies and delay faithful readers. I've had college going on and it is NOT fun! Without further ado, I present the final three chapters of End of the World.
Chapter 12: Detour
They flew down into the desolate courtyard.
Rytex was already out to meet them.
"Where are Zelda and Midna?"
Sephiroth explained everything to him in a few short sentences.
"I see. Then you'll be needing my sword?"
"Yeah."
"Then you might as well sign me up because there is no way I'm letting you run around with my sword unsupervised."
Sephiroth chuckled.
He picked both of them up and they flew toward Hyrule, but there was an almighty flash of light. It hit the town of Gongaga a few miles away.
"Sephiroth! Get down there now!"
He flew even faster toward the town which was already up in flames.
"What was that?" asked Link.
"Light of Judgement. Kefka must've been mad at the villagers." said Rytex.
"Or he just thought it would be fun." said Sephiroth darkly.
They landed and immediately began to help the villagers. Some were already beyond help when they got there. They rolled around screaming as flames consumed their bodies. It was a pitiful sight to watch.
"Kill me!" screamed a woman as her flaming arm grabbed Sephiroth's shoulder.
Rytex closed his eyes as his face paled.
He wordlessly drew the Blood Sword and stabbed the woman.
His voice shook as he spoke.
"Those beyond help I must kill. It is called the Blood Sword because it was forged with the power to grow sharper for every drop of blood spilled over it. The sharper the blade, the more deadly it is. And it never breaks or dulls. Once it has reached the maximum sharpness, all the energy and life of the victim goes to the attacker... It's a dark power, but a necessary one."l
They said nothing but merely nodded as the gruesome job had to be done.
When he had finished, Rytex was shaking uncontrollably.
"Now I wanna make Kefka pay for this..." he said.
He sheathed his blade and yelled to the sky.
A shape of energy began to form on his right shoulder. It resembled a wing.
Then a wing of pure white formed on his shoulder.
Rytex stared at the wing for a short time before grunting and leaping into the air, flying in the direction of Dukomlet.
Which was on the way to Kefka's Tower.
Sephiroth snarled and grabbed Link's tunic, carrying him toward Dukomlet as well.
They landed in Dukomletia, the capital city, also burnt and destroyed, but people were rebuilding.
They got Midna and flew straight to Hyrule Castle Town.
It almost ends next chapter. Join us for Chapter 13: Dancing Mad! R&R.
