Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 20
The Return
SHWOOO! A brilliant light shone on Raguna and Mist,
"Ah!" Raguna said as he returned to life, "What?!"
"Woah!" Mist looked around, "What happened!?"
"We must have fallen asleep!" Raguna said, "Argh! We have to get back to the battle!" he removed the sword from the pedestal,
"You have my blessing, Raguna." the Greater Power spoke, "With it, your sword can vanquish all evil and repel all dark magic. Your armor is also extremely resistant to dark magic as well."
"Thank you." Raguna said and looked at his sword, which was glowing in power,
"The Powers of the Divine Dragons have also been amplified." the Greater Power added, "Now, be warned." he mumbled, "When you step out... The world will shock you.. But be brave and very courageous! You are the Hero of the Runes! And husband of Mist." he spoke.
"I thought the wedding was a dream." Mist said,
"Oh no." the Greater Power told him, "It was real, but it took place in another dimension..."
"Well, looks like we are one." Raguna smiled, "Come on, Mist." he extended his hand,
"Yes." Mist smiled back at him and held his hand,
"With this power... We will win!" Raguna held up his sword:
The Blessing of the Greater Power strengthens the Sword of Light to unparalleled heights! The strength of five gods rests in your blade!
"Go and finally vanquish the Evil!" the Greater Power told them, "And be strong and very courageous!" he added and the rock slide covering the staircase was lifted, connecting the paradise to the outer world.

"Woah..." Raguna said as the two stepped out, "What in the world..."
The world was in ruins, it looked like a nuclear wasteland... There was nothing green growing, and the sun was blocked by dark clouds.
"What happened?" Mist gasped, "Oh my!" she screamed when she saw a downed Behemoth nearby.
"Ooh..." Raguna groaned when he saw the giant monster dead, sprawling a large distance, "It looks like we were taking more than a little nap."
"Oh my..." Mist observed the ruins of a Sechs tanks, and the skeletons of the drivers slouching over the entrances. She then turned to face the skeleton of a Dark Claw Dragon,
"Where's Grimoire?" Raguna asked, seeing their ride was not there,
"There he is." Mist mumbled, and the skeleton of the dragon hung over the charred trunk of the Big Tree,
"How long were we gone!?" Raguna yelled,
"Ah!" Mist screamed when she accidentally stepped on a Noradian Knight's helmet, the charred skull inside cracked when she did so.
"Raguna.." a distant voice called, "Use the Power of the Wind Goddess."
"Huh?" Raguna looked around, "Um.." he mumbled, then held his sword up, "Ventusgale!" he yelled, and a soft wind picked them up.
"Woah!" Mist said as a cloud appeared under them, then started to lift them up,
"Gah!" Raguna gasped as the cloud shot upwards, taking the two sky high.
"Wow!" Mist exclaimed as she saw the landscape, "Oh my..."
"I think I was better off on the ground." Raguna grumbled as he saw the landscape, which was littered with skeletons and the carcasses of multiple giant monsters.
"I think the only things that survived were the vultures." Mist cried when the said birds circled around the body of a Redzilla.
"We have to go to the Sealed Temple!" Raguna said, "That's where we last saw the Sorcerer! Come on, cloud!" he told his ride,
SHWOOO! The cloud rocketed towards the distance.
00000000
"Hmm..." Raguna muttered as the traveled through the air, "Ah!" he said in surprise when his palm glowed fiercely,
"Raguna!" Mist alerted, her palm also was glowing, then the two held hands.
00000000
"Wah!" a knight yelled as he was knocked down by a Dark Golem,
"Watch out!" a Sechs pikeman came to his aid and stabbed the Golem in the back,
"RAH!" a dark Hunter Wolf took down an Eastern samurai,
"Take this!" a Rolandese cavalryman attacked a dark Panther.
00000000
"Well..." Raguna muttered, "That doesn't seem to be right..."
"I can sense something so dark and evil." Mist focused,
"No runic signals..." Raguna focused, "Nothing is alive... Not man, nor beast, nor runey..."
"Hey, Look!" Mist pointed towards the distance, where brilliant flashed shone in intervals, "What's going on over there?"
"Nothing good." Raguna muttered, "And it must be farther away from the Sealed Palace..." he saw the structure stand closer to them than the actual flashes.
00000000
"Hmm..." Raguna landed in the desolate land of the Polonians, which was littered with craters and skeletons, a sign that the fiercest fighting took here.
"Raguna..." Mist muttered, "I... I..." she cried,
"What in the hell..." Raguna walked to a spot, and there was a large precious jewel on the ground, "No..." he muttered, "No... Iris!?" he fell to his knees,
"Camus.." Mist looked at a certain skeleton still grasping it sword,
"Our friends..." Raguna cried, "They... They... didn't have to face this..."
"Well Well Well..." a voice growled, making them turn,
"Look who finally decided to show up!" another added,
"Guys..." Raguna responded to the ghosts of Brodik and Iris,
"What the hell happened, man!?" Camus appeared, "Where were you!?"
"We fought to the end waiting for you!" Mei screamed, "What happened!?"
"Oh no." Mist groaned,
"We fought forever!" Sharron sighed, "But you never appeared..."
"We've been waiting for two years!" Iris told him, "Well.. we lasted less than that..."
"Two years!?" both Raguna and Mist yelled,
"Yeah!" Cinnamon yelled,
"I lasted the longest though." Camus laughed, "5 months, 12 days. Cinnamon only lasted 6 weeks."
"Saving Sharron!" Cinnamon yelled,
"It doesn't matter who lasted longest!" Brodik yelled, "What matters is that this son of a bitch never arrived!" he exploded, "If I wasn't a ghost, I would wreck your face!"
"Look! I can fix this!" Raguna said, "Where are the Divine Dragons and the Sorcerer?!"
"They took the fighting somewhere else!" Iris answered,
"Terrable made a large floating island and they started fighting there." Cinnamon added, "They then took the fighting to the sea."
"Yeah..." Camus pointed to the distance, where the flashes shone, "O'er there."
"Thank you!" Raguna said and summoned another cloud, "Guys! You did not die in vain!" he told them, "I will avenge you all!
"Wait!" Iris said, "No! You are not going alone!" she yelled and ran into him,
"Hey!" Raguna yelled when Iris entered his body,
"Yeah!" Brodik growled, "We want to be there too!" he yelled and entered his body as well.
And thus, one by one entered his body,
"Ugh..." Raguna groaned, "Is everybody ready?"
"Go ahead!" Sharron told him,
"Ventusgale!" Raguna summoned another cloud,
"Here we go!" Mist exclaimed as she got on it,
"Raf!" Lupux came into view, however, he was not a ghost.
"LUPUX!?" Raguna said in surprise, "How did you!?"
"No need to thank us." the Grand Master, accompanied by several Polonian knights, told him as they appeared,
"Oh.. This is great.." Raguna smiled, "Thank you!" he bowed, "Get on, Lupux!" he patted his cloud,
"RAF!" Lupux barked and got on,
"Let's go!" Mist said, and the cloud rose up in the air.
SO SORRY FOR THE HAITUS!
