His sinister smile made me want to puke, I was tired of his games and I wanted him to pay. But Icarus was not an easy enemy to be dealt with; he seemed to have much more knowledge within his powers.
But even as the aspect of fear faded from him, I was not afraid either. Not this time, if he wanted a fight, then I'll give him a fight he shall never forget.
"Go on Icarus, try and show me what a vile creature like you has got to fight for." I sneered at him. He wanted to play dirty like always with his wretched looks. Well, this time I'll give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Oh my dear I have something to fight for. It's just your precious Mina didn't live long enough to see it."
That did it, I lunged straight for his neck but he quickly swam out of the way. Anger was clouding my thoughts and all I wanted was for him to die in the worst way possible. His laughter echoed my thoughts at my reckless state and he was enjoying every moment of it.
"Anger Calyspa will not make you the better fighter. It's the knowledge and experience that counts." He teased.
"I don't care! By any means possible, I will kill you! Even if I have to tear down this city!"
He grinned, "Good luck," and vanished before my eyes. I looked back puzzled to where he went, yet there wasn't a trace of him till I felt something hard smash against my head. My head spun a little from the intense impact.
"I also forgot to mention," he said "that if you're angry, causing an illusion is quite simple."
I clenched my teeth hard; this was just another game for him. I was the mouse and he was the cat, but sometimes even the mouse outwits the cat.
"Stop talking and show yourself you coward!" I yelled.
"Why should I if this is so much fun!" Another hit across the head and I slammed against the ocean floor. My vision grew blurry for a moment from the hit. But before I could come to my senses, another knock on the head and I grew more frustrated and dizzy. I couldn't let him win, so I swam away across the room to recollect my thoughts. But once again, another knock to the head and I would pass out any minute.
"Revenge won't get the best of you. You're weak and you're nothing to this world. You're better off dead like the rest of your family." Icarus sneered.
I felt another slam against my head and the coward still won't show himself. My anger was reaching its peak and I felt a strange glow begin to surround me. Icarus seemed to notice this and grabbed my head to slam it against the wall.
He hit me the hardest of all and grabbed my hair roughly. "I knew you wouldn't succeed in killing me. You take after your father, incapable of doing anything. Well, I'll take much pleasure in killing you Calypsa."
Icarus was about to bash my head against the rock one last time before I grabbed his arm roughly and held him back. Anger got the best of me and all I could think of was killing Icarus at this very moment. I still couldn't see him, but he wasn't going anywhere under my firm grasp.
"Listen closely you piece of filth, you may have taken my father and sister from me, but you shall not have your final victory. I am capable of destroying you, and as vile and cruel as you are, evil never prevails."
An eruption of energy escaped me as I focused all of my anger and strength to killing Icarus. His shrill cries echoed in my mind as I saw him slowly appear under the illusion he cast on me. The entire room erupted into bright read and the water boiled under extreme heat. This did not waver me; it was my power and only my power to destroy. Something Icarus longed for, but he never shall have. Instead, his greed shall kill him under my very own hands.
Slowly, his skin began to turn shriveled and black under my touch. He stared at me through torment and hate before his eye bulged and popped from their sockets. Blood seared through his entire body and his skin was crumbling beneath me. I was exposing what true evil looked like under his appearances that were so dark and disturbing.
For whatever strength he had left, laughter erupted from him. It was a terrible laugh, so hysterical and haunting from him. Even as death took over Icarus, he laughed at his very own defeat. The walls began to crumble and melt under the intense heat wave, but his laughter was the only thing I could remember.
"I'll always haunt you Calyspa."
It was the last thing I heard from him before he disappeared into nothing. The heat wave I gave off disappeared with him and I stared at the empty space before me in amaze. Icarus was gone, he was finally gone. Yet I soon felt light headed as my strength seemed to vanish completely. I fell into another unconscious state, but I could still hear Icarus's sinister laughter that would haunt me forever.
Short chapter based solely on his death, I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and tell me what you think!
