Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 22
FINALE
"There's not much time, Raguna..." Terrable told the Hero as Mist's Runic signature slowly faded,
"Why..." Raguna held her hands, "No..."
"Raguna..." Mist smiled, "Look..." she showed him her hand, which was glowing,
"Oh.." Raguna looked at his hand, it was also glowing,
Mist smiled, and the two held hands.
00000000
"We die together, Sonja." a vision of Aden, the previous Hero of the Runes, appeared to them,
"Aden... Why did it have to be that way?" Sonja cried as she looked at the broken Sword of Oracles,
"At least we have each other..." Aden smiled, and the two shared a long embrace as a huge beam rocketed towards them.
SHHWEEOOOOO! The Beam engulfed them both.
00000000
"Is that the last Hero?" Mist asked softly, then started to have labored breaths, "He looks... cool... Not like you, though..."
"Yeah..." Raguna continued holding her hand, then felt the Runic signature tip to the point of disappearing, "Mist!"
"ha..." Mist exhaled weakly, then went limp.
"Mist?" Raguna said, "Mist!?" he shook her, "MIST?! MIST!" he yellled, "NO!" he cried and laid over her.
The allies bowed in mourning, as did the Divine Dragons.
KROOOOOO! The ocean under them shook,
"HAHAHAHAHA!" the Dark Sorcerer returned, "It is your end Raguna!" he yelled, "Look at this!" he showed them a dark bracelet, "I am now one with the Great Evil! Prepare to die!" he started to glow.
SHWOOOOO!
"RAHHHHH HAHAHA!" the light died down, revealing a horrible mix between the Dark Sorcerer and the Legendary Golem,
"Raguna!" Terrable told the Hero, who was still mourning,
"Help!" Aquaticus yelled,
"TIME TO DIE!" The Dark Golem laughed and started to charge a beam,
"Hmph!" Raguna growled and stood up, then unsheathed his Blade, "YOU!" he yelled in a booming voice, "YOU WILL PERISH!" his blade glowed red in such intensity that it scorched the nearby ground.
"Huh!?" the Dark Golem gasped when he sensed the rising power of his foe,
"HAH!" Raguna raised his sword, "DEITY STRIKE!" he yelled, and rocketed towards the giant.
BOOOOM! He struck the fiend, and a light beam pierced his chest,
KRAK KRAK KRAK! The Golem's body cracked everywhere,
"NO!" the Dark Golem roared,
"YOUR DESTRUCTION ENDS HERE!" Raguna screamed,
"HAHH!" the Spirits of the Previous Heroes appeared next to him, all raising their versions of the Oracle Sword.
"Go, Raguna!" Aden told him,
"Go, Successor!" the First Hero of the Runes yelled,
"HRAHH!" Raguna roared and sent a pulsing light beam into the fiend's body.
KRAKAKABOOOM! The Golem exploded in a brilliant flash...
00000000
"The Golem is gone!" Ventuswill rejoiced, "Alright!"
"Ha ha!" Fiersome laughed, "We have emerged victorious!"
"So gnarly!" Aquaticus cheered,
"Amazing job, Rag-" Terrable paused when he saw the Earthmate still mourning.
"The Golem is gone.." a voice spoke,
"The Greater Power!" Terrable looked up,
Raguna turned at the sound of this, "You like this!?" he told him, "My wife is dead!"
"The Golem has been defeated..." the Greater Power spoke, "Was that not your mission? Or did I give you my blessing to be with your wife?"
"Grr!" Raguna growled, "No! I don't want this!" he yelled, "I want Mist back! I don't care about your stupid blessings if it means she's dead!"
"Would you give up your Heroship for this mortal?" the Greater Power asked, "You are the most powerful being on the planet."
"Yes!" Raguna said, "I don't care about power! I want her!" he pointed with his sword, "I don't want to be Hero with her gone!"
"So be it!" the Greater Power spoke, and a light shone on Raguna.
SHCHLING! The light receded, showing Raguna was back to normal,
"Huh?" Mist opened her eyes, "Raguna?"
"Mist!" Raguna exclaimed, "You're alive! Oh, thank the gods!"
"Ha..." Mist laughed, "Raguna.." she hugged him,
"Raguna." the Greater Power spoke once more, "You sacrificed your unparalleled power to save the one you love... That pleases me... You also vanquished the Great Evil... You will have your powers back..." he made a light shine on him once again.
"HA!" Raguna said in power as he raised the Blade of Light once more,
"Hail the Hero of the Runes!" Iris' ghost said,
"Oh yeah!" the Greater Power interrupted, "I'll give your allies their life back... And return the planet back to its original state before the war. Well, I'll be going now.." he laughed.
"Alright!" Terrable chuckled, "Salute the Hero of the Runes!" he raised his wings,
"Salute the Hero of the Runes!" the others repeated.
00000000
00000000
"In the Brightest Light, I can see the truth!" Iris sung as the clear summer sun shone down on the renewed planet,
"Raguna sure is a great pal!" Kanno, resurrected, laughed,
"He saved the world!" Turner told him, "A drink for our friend!"
00000000
"So you're telling me that boy became the Hero of the Runes?" Emmett asked Mei,
"I don't believe it!" Neumann laughed, "That's all a myth!"
"I saw it with my own eyes, man!" Camus yelled, "I even died!"
00000000
"Well.." Terrable smiled as he walked up the large stairs of the Sealed Palace, "It's nice to have you back..."
"Hah!" the Polonian knights saluted the Earth God, raising their swords in reverence,
"Well, Raguna really touched a deal with the Greater Power." the Grand Master chuckled, "He brought back our long dead race!"
"Well, you did sacrifice yourselves to save the world as well." Ventuswill told him,
"Whatever the reason was, it's nice to be back." the Grand Master of the Polonic Order chuckled, "I wonder how our Hero is doing..." he said as they reached the top of the Palace.
"Well, there he is." Fiersome said as he caught sight of the Hero of the Runes.
"Hello!" Raguna responded, holding the Blade of Light, "What brings you all here?"
"We just wanted to visit 'He who saved the World'." Terrable told him, "That's what the Easterners call you, you know?"
"I'll still call you Lil' Dude." Aquaticus laughed,
"How's it going, Raguna?" Ventuswill asked, "Well, you don't really have a job... Since the Great Evil is gone.."
"Yeah." Raguna chuckled, "I just live here... Oh... But there is one job I'm getting!"
"Raguna?" Mist came out, "Ah!" she said, "Hello."
"Well, hello!" Terrable smiled,
"Oh..." Ventuswill said as she saw Mist's growing belly, "I see."
"I'm going to be a father." Raguna laughed, "That's the job."
"The Hero of the Runes." Mist giggled, "Is a stay-at-home dad."
"Stop it, you." Raguna blushed,
"Well, I hope it goes well for you, Warrior." Fiersome laughed, "I may not have had romantic encounters like you mortals, but I can assure you that children are a pain."
"How do you know, Fiersome?" Ventuswill asked,
"I don't know.." Fiersome growled, "I just feel that some kids will be the end of me..."
"I'm the Hero of the Runes." Raguna laughed, "How hard will it be?"
"Just you wait." Ventuswill said, "Grimoire was pretty hard to raise up."
00000000
"Mist.." Raguna said as the two stood alone on the Palace balcony, "I love you, you know that?"
"Yes." Mist held his hand, "You gave up your power for me... I thank you..."
"I thank you for being there for me..." Raguna turned to her, "I can't wait for our child to come..."
"He will be great like you." Mist smiled, "And sweet like me..."
"Yes." Raguna grinned, "Are you ready?" he turned to the pedestal,
"Yes." Mist nodded and the two walked,
"Let's do it." Raguna said as he saw the legions of Polonian Knights at the bottom of the Palace, he waved at them.
"Salute the Hero of the Runes!" the Knights of the Polonic Order cheered and they raised their swords.
"Hah!" Raguna placed the Blade of Light on the pedestal.
"Hm..." the Spirits of the Previous Heroes of the Runes appeared on his sides,
"Salute the Hero of the Runes." Aden's ghost told the Earthmate,
"Salute the Hero of the Runes." the 12th Hero added,
"Thank you." Raguna bowed, then turned to the crowds and waved.
"SALUTE THE HERO OF THE RUNES!"
I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED! PLEASE REVIEW!
