Me: Chapter 6!
Tenebrae: That's not why you're so happy.
Aqua: Yeah. Why are you so happy?
Me: I decided to post my next story!
Aqua: I liked that story!
Me: Me too. Now, do the disclaimer.
Aqua: Why can't Tenebonehead do it?
Me: Because he did it last time and you turned him into a core. This is your punishment.
Aqua: Fine, Yinyangsymphonian owns Twilight and Sol and semi owns the monsters.
Me: Good!
Angelic Rebirth Ch.6
I must have fallen asleep at some point in the night. When I had woken up Emil had already had breakfast ready. "What smells so nice?" I asked, coming up behind him.
"Well I got up early and decided to make breakfast." He said.
"Okay! Just make sure you make enough for the monsters, too!" I said looking over at Sial and Gale. Last night they were fighting last night and now Gale was on top of Sial. They both looked exhausted.
They went to sleep about five minutes before Emil woke up. Necro said from the right of me. I sighed. They were arguing all night and still hate each other.
"What's wrong?" Emil asked.
"You see those two?" I gestured to Sial and Gale.
"They look like friends." He said tilting his head to the side as if he didn't understand.
"They were arguing last night and Necro says they fell asleep five minutes before you woke up." I said. Tenebrae appeared by Emil.
"They were quite loud. I'm surprised anyone slept at all." He stated "I also felt a presence in the forest that quickly disappeared."
"I'm sure it's nothing! If they wanted to hurt us they would!" I said cheerfully.
We should wake them up. They would kill us if they miss breakfast. Necro said.
No need to wake them up now. Wait until the food is ready. Tenebrae said to Necro. I looked at Tenebrae wide eyed. "Now Twilight don't look at me like that. I am a centurion after all." I nodded and smiled a goofy grin.
"So when are we waking up Marta." I asked.
"When breakfast is ready." Emil answered.
"Okay. If nobody minds I'm going to explore a little bit. Call me when breakfast is ready." I turned and walked into the forest.
"Okay, let's see. I have 3 life bottles, 5 apple gels, 2 orange gels, 4 gray manuscripts, and a grimoire called 'Negative Gate.' That should be good enough for now." I said to myself. For the past 5 minutes I had gone around and gathered items from monsters.
"That's what you left for?" Tenebrae appeared in front of me.
"Go away, Tenebrae." I said.
"I thought you might like to know that breakfast is ready and everyone is worried about you." He said. The ground then started to shake. Lumbering through the trees comes a shadow wyrm.
"Oh no!" I said, my face going pale.
"What trouble did you get into, Twilight?" Tenebrae asked as I got ready to fight.
"I might have annoyed it a few days ago." I said as I prepared a spell. "Ancient water douse my foe! Aqua Edge!" Three blades of water hurled toward the wyrm and hit it. This only makes it angrier. It swung a claw at me and I easily jump out of the way and land on its back. I slashed at it three times. "Radiant Blast!" I did a vertical slash and then held out my hand. A small ray of light shot toward it. It howled in pain and threw itself at a tree. This threw me off and I hit a tree. Hard. As I picked myself up I had a sharp pain in my back and the tree I hit was covered in blood. The wyrm then lumbered toward me and lifted his claw to deal the final blow. I held up my spear in defense and close my eyes. I heard the sound of ringing steel and the wyrm howling in pain. I opened my eyes and saw a boy at least two years older than me. He had light brown hair and he was wearing skin tight tan pants and a white long sleeve shirt with a gold stripe down the sleeves. Over this he wore a sleeveless jacket that was the same color as his pants with a gold cross on the back. He had a belt with a few pouches and a sheath attached to it. His shield was made out of mythril with gold around the edge and his sword was silver with a jeweled hilt.
"Come on! Get back in the fight!" he yelled at me as he started to prepare a spell. I nodded and ran toward the shadow wyrm. It tried to hit me and I dodged it and ran up to it.
"Night Devastation!" I spun my spear in a circle in front of me and slammed it into the ground. Rocks with darkness guiding them rammed into the wyrm.
"Oh healing power send thy light! Heal!" I felt my back healing and instantly felt energized. He ran past me and started hacking at the wyrm with a series of sword rains and lighting blades. I took this as an opportunity to cast a spell of my own.
"Ancient ice freeze my foe! Icicle!" a mass of ice surrounded the wyrm and then broke. The wyrm collapsed with a roar. "Yes!" I yelled.
"That was impressive fighting." The boy commented. I turned toward him.
"Thank you, for helping me." I said with a slight bow of my head. He smiled.
"No problem. What's your name?" he asked.
"Twilight and yours?" I said.
"Sol." He sheathed his sword and looked at me with his deep green eyes.
"Well Sol, thanks again for saving me! Bye!" I started to run back toward camp. When I could no longer feel his mana I started to slow down. Tenebrae appeared next to me.
"Is something wrong, Twilight? You seemed a little quick to get out of there." He said.
"He seemed familiar. And not in a good way." I said thoughtfully.
Twilight! Sial's high pitch voice cut through my thoughts. I looked up only to see a flash of fur run at me and tackle me to the ground.
"Sial! Get off of me!" I laughed as I got up. I smiled at him and he barked happily. "Come on. We should get back." We walked back to camp and my stomach grumbled. Sial ran up to Emil and nudged his hand.
"What is it, Sial?" he asked. I walked over and sat down.
"Is there any food left?" I asked. Marta was across from Emil and was showering him with complements. Emil was as red as a tomato. Sial had gone back to growling at Gale with Necro close by to pull them apart if they tried to kill each other. Emil quickly served me a plate of eggs and bacon. I happily accepted it.
"What took you so long?" Marta asked. I opened my mouth to answer but Tenebrae was quicker.
"She ran into trouble in the form of a dragon that almost killed her." He answered. Emil's and Marta's eyes widened.
"I was fine until it threw me at a tree." I grumbled.
"Then a young boy appeared and saved her and defeated the dragon single handedly." He continued.
"I helped." I grumbled and crossed my arms.
"That's so romantic!" Marta said. I rolled my eyes.
"Not really. He seemed kind of cold." I said.
"Still, it sounds romantic." Marta said.
"I'm not really a romantic type of girl." I said as I finished my food.
"What were you doing before the dragon attacked you?" Emil asked.
"I was gathering supplies just in case we run into any monsters on our way back to town. Which reminds me." I took out the manuscripts and the grimoire. Gale came over.
What are those? She asked.
Those are grimoires. They help us grow in strength. Necro explained. I tossed the grimoire at Necro and it hit him square in the forehead which effectively knocked him out. Everyone flinched as it hit him.
"Nice hit, Twilight." Tenebrae teased. I was not looking forward to when he wakes up. We packed up and had Sial carry Necro as we set out toward town. As we walked Marta and Tenebrae filled me in on what they had told Emil while I was gone. About Ratatosk and the Centurions and the first regeneration. We eventually got to Luin. The monsters stayed on the outskirts of town and would come if we called.
"I'll drop out of sight since my presence may draw unwanted attention." Tenebrae said before he disappeared.
"I'm going to go gather supplies for the journey. I'll meet you by the fountain." I said. Marta and Emil nodded their heads as I walked into the inn. The innkeeper smiled at me.
"Hey, Twilight! I was getting worried about you." He said.
"I met some new friends and certain events made it impossible to come back." I said "I am actually leaving today and came back to get my stuff."
"Well, remember to come back. Have a nice trip!" I smiled and went into my room, grabbed my stuff, and went outside. Only to see Gale and Necro streak past me followed by Sial who stayed by me.
Emil and Marta are in trouble! He said to me.
"What?!" I didn't care who heard me. I couldn't believe that in the few minutes I had left them they had gotten into trouble. I stalked toward the fountain glaring at anyone that stared at me. When I got there a man in gold armor was there.
"Foolish, barbarous Sylvaranti! Listen well! I am Commandant Magnar, of the glorious Martel Knights. We have come here to arrest the vile Vanguard for their crimes: blasphemy against the Church and inciting rebellions and discontent across the world. However, we have also received reports from Lloyd the Great stating that the people of Luin have been engaged in sinful cooperation with the Vanguard. Therefore, this whole town, along with the Vanguard, now faces charges of treason against the Chosen! But I will grant one final opportunity to redeem yourselves. A girl named Marta is hiding in this city. Bring her to me…" I decided not to listen to the rest. I ran toward the main entrance and went to find Emil.
"Emil! Marta! Where are you?" I called looking around. At first I heard nothing but then I heard Emil talking to Tenebrae. I couldn't make out what they were saying but it was them. I ran toward them. When I got to the clearing I was sure they were in no one was there. "Aw man. I hope nothing bad happened to them!"
Well that's wishful thinking. A sarcastic Necro said from behind me.
"What happened, Necro?" I asked glaring at him.
Marta and Emil got into a fight and Marta went to turn herself in. Necro said calmly.
"Sial, go back to Luin and find Marta." Sial nodded at me and ran off "What about Emil?"
Eventually decided to go after her. They told me to stay here until they call for me. He said.
"Come on we have to go help!" I yelled running off toward Luin. Necro reluctantly followed me. When we got there we were almost immediately surrounded by Martel Knights. "Any ideas, Necro?" I asked the imp behind me.
Nope! He said happily as he charged at the knights. I sighed and followed his lead. I ran toward the nearest one stabbing my spear into him easily breaking his armor. I took out my spear from him and slashed at the two coming at me. Crimson red blood sprayed about the streets.
"Blood Needles!" I yelled and held out my hand. The blood that was on the streets started to lift and form needles. Then they shot toward the knights. The needles killed one of the knights and wounded five others. I just stood there. "Did I do that?" I asked shocked. That didn't last long. Some of the other knights were starting to close in. Necro and me had been pushed back to where we had started.
I have had just about enough of you! Darkness consume the enemy before me! Take this! Abyss! A dark circle appeared below a group of knights and dark hands started to grab them. I stared at Necro, surprised that he could cast a spell that powerful. One of the knights had slashed at my arm and it started to bleed. Then I wasn't quite aware of what I was doing. It was like I remembered something I had forgotten. "You deserve divine punishment! Oh holy one cast thy purifying light upon this corrupt soul! Take this! Judgment!" I screamed! Then I fainted from mana exhaustion.
Aqua & Tenebrae: Blood Needles?!
Me: It's a spell that she inherited. More of an instinct than anything else. It's really powerful so she doesn't use it that often.
Tenebrae: Will she use it anytime soon?
Me: Not until she sees Sol again. My new story is a Zelda story called Ancient Darkness and a Phoenix Wing. Please read that to.
Aqua: Don't forget to say the story with the most Reviews gets the next chapter up quicker!
Me: Right! That too!
