Matter of Life and Death

Chapter 2

Furiae hid her face under the demon's wings and laughed as Caim attempted to speak. Caim was shocked to realize that Furiae was controlled by the beast.

"Furiae..." Angelus growled. "You are the godess. You don't need to pay a pact price."

"LOOK AT THE DAMAGED YOU HAVE CAUSED!" Leonard screeched.

Caim kicked Leonard in the back, to leave him rolling. Leonard knocked himself into an unstiff post. It fell down and crushed the seed, however, the seed acted back. Flames emerged from the distance, and so did a pact partner cry. Leonard opened his eyes, and looked around. Caim stared into Leonard's eyes.

"Huh?" Caim spoke. "Huh?"

"Caim..." Angelus whispered. "I think that our pact has come to an end. When it started."

"Huh, you... are...?"

"Yes, Caim." Leonard said. "Our pact-partners brough us this far. Now we must do something for them."

"What?" Furiae laughed. "This can only mean two things! One: your pact partner abandoned you because they knew I would kill you, or two, they left you because they didn't like you, and used you to return to the village, when it was in chaos so you can DIE, THEN RETURNED! Gwahahahahahaha! Ha... ha... h..."

"I AM !" Angelus screamed, attracting just enough attention with a ball of fire. " When it started, I knew you would come this far. I predicted thios would happen. I triedto stop it before it was too late. I failed. Caim, I believe you can stop your sister."

Inuart acted too fast. He clinched onto the beast's neck and let it glide away into the faintest sunlight.

"Fools!" he screamed. "Fools!"

Angelus followed, Caim hanging tightly on the tail. Golem and Seere rushed up to the area.

"Golem... bye..." it growled. "Seere... GROW..."

Golem leapt high.

"Must.. stop... Furiae..." Golem stammered.

"But Golem?" Seere said. "What is happening?"

"Too. young... young... understang..."

Caim clinched onto the dragon's back then pulled himself up to neck's level. Angelus breathed a ball of fire on Furiae's beast, which she now named Desire Seed.

"Furiae!" Inuart laughed. "Are you watching this? Your brother will die today!"

Caim looked supicious. He hesitated to speak but found himself muttering inside his on brain. Angelus clinched onto Desire Seed's tail. Angelus was roaring with anger and sweating with fireballs. Desire Seed roared back. Seere stood there by the fiery village, watching himself for ages seeing if he'll grow, and creases came with marks of blood, he collapsed and started to cry. Furaiae, glued to the dragon, sprinted ahead. Caim closed his eyes, and thought deeply.

"You're right! I advance through the forest! Over the forests! Nobody can escape us now!" Angelus screamed. The fire burning down her back twitched. Furaie was advancing the same way to the forest, over the brigdes and over the hills, through tunnels. They crashed through the ground and burrowed their way into safety.
