.A.
Milo, Siphon, and Leena entered the crystal caves. For all they knew Kida could have been anywhere, because the caves were huge and there were many crystals all around the halls and caves. Milo grew more nervous and scared by each second that passed. They didn't want to split because it would have been better not too. They would have gotten lost looking for Kida in a cavernous place like this.
They had spears to protect themselves with, because Meison was capable of attacking them out of nowhere. Milo only hoped that Kida was alright. That Meison was not hurting her right now. As they were searching for the new queen Milo couldn't help think of her beautiful eyes, her beautiful short,white silver hair, and her beautiful smile. Eversince he met her he felt like the luckiest man alive. He loved her, and he wanted to be with her forever. Milo was crazy for her smile, it was so beautiful and exotic he only wished that he could see that smile for one more time.
Siphon interrupted Milo's thoughts by saying "I think he has her in the deeper, darker caves they are farther." He most likely doesn't want her to heal so he better be in one of those. Leena replied "But why would he take her here if he wants her dead?" Milo felt a chill in his spine when she said those words, he couldn't picture her dead.
"Because" Siphon replied. "Since we own this place he thinks nobody will find him here, but he will prove himself as an idiot to be trusting me."
"Come on, we gotta find her" Milo said. "Are we close?"
"Almost" Siphon replied. The more they walked the harder it was to see. The crystals were the only source of light because they were very few crystals in this part of the caves.
"Milo" Siphon sighed "I think we should split. It's would be easier, but we will be close by if we do find her."
"Alright" Milo replied. "But please speak if you do find anything." So as they split and searched each cave one by one they looked in each small space they could find. Then Siphon, noticed that in a small cave there was a small passage way. Which was odd because the caves didn't had no passage ways to dig the crystals out. So, he decided to enter the narrow passage way. It wasn't long until the passage way led him to another cave and he gasped to what he saw.
He saw Kida close to the wall, her hands and feet tied together in a rope with blood in her head, she had her eyes closed but still breathing. "Yahd-la-gohnik! Kida-toap! Your highness! What did that monster do to you!" He only heard heavy breathing from her, and then suddenly he felt a heavy hit in the back of his head and blacked out as well.
Meison, couldn't not help but smile of what he did to his own brother. "I am not the idiot, brother. You are, for thinking that I was going to trust you."
"Milo!" Leena shouted. "Yes, Leena?" Milo said from nearby before they met again. "I think Siphon is in trouble." She pointed to a cave infront of her "He went into that cave a while ago and has not returned." That was when Milo ran and entered the passage way with Leena from behind. Milo gasped at the scene and Leena screamed. That's when Meison turned with an evil glare staring at Milo. Milo couldn't believe it "What did you to do Kida and your brother!"
Meison ignored his coment "What are you doing here, outsider? You are supposed to be rotting in the dungeon already!" He yelled angrily at the scholar.
"Well sometimes things don't go as planned, Meison. Let her go!" Milo said in a serious voice with a tone full of hatred.
"Never" He said. "Pretty soon she will be dead."
"You son of a bitch" Milo cursed. "Leena get the guards, as quickly as you can!" Leena ran so fast before Meison could get to her, and as he tried to Milo stepped in. "You have to get to me first, if you want to hurt her too." Meison smiled "That will not be so difficult."
Meison attacked so fast with his spear, but Milo had fast reflexes. He blocked Meison's spear with his own so it wouldn't hurt him but Meison was too strong. With his leg he pushed Milo into the wall where he hit his head really hard and fell down to the floor. Meison waited for a few minutes to see if he would get up but he didn't.
That was when Siphon opened his eyes and got up. He saw Milo on the floor. "Meison! Stop! Brother please I beg you you are going to far!"
"I will get far enough if I have, whatever it takes for me to be king. I was told at a very young age that I was going to rule this place one day, and restore it to proper order! You heard the stories too brother! I want to be that king that will rule Atlantis, not this weak outsider!" He pointed to Milo.
Siphon voice cracked "Brother, please. Do not hurt them, you are only bringing this upon yourself!" Meison suddenly pushed Siphon against the wall. "I am so sorry, Siphon. But you betrayed me, and I told you that if you did I would kill that pathetic girl you love, Leena. So, choose, her or you."
Siphon then said in Atlantean "You won't get away with this!" Meison then replied back "Oh but I will, I am a man that never gives up. Goodbye,brother." As he got his spear ready, Meison grunted and yelled in pain. The pain came from his arm, which made him drop his spear. What he saw was another spear piercing his right arm. He look what caused the injury and it was Milo, with his spear he also tore part of the leg open. His expression was full of anger and hatred. Meison's leg and arm started shaking, which made him cause to fall into the ground.
As Meison collapsed to the ground , Siphon tried to see if his brother was alright while Milo went to check up on Kida. "Kida?" He said but there was no response from her. Siphon then got furious and started punching and kicking his brother until he was coughing up blood. "Siphon enough! Milo yelled as he saw the blood all over Meison's face. The threaths and pain the Meison put on his brother made Siphon to kill him now that he was already getting weaker by the second.
Siphon stopped and tried to clean the blood of his fingers with dirt. "I suggest you get her out of here, go back to the city where Jani can heal her in the palace." Siphon said as he saw Milo trying to cure Kida with his own crystal. "Yeah, but what about Meison?" Siphon turned to see his brother who was shaking tremendously in his own blood. "I can hold on to him, until the guards leave."
"Are you sure?" Milo said as he quickly freed Kida from the rope with his spear. "Teeg, I will be fine. Just tell the guards to hurry!"
Milo quickly got up, and carried Kida away without his spear because he couldn't carry both things. Siphon's spear was behind him very close to Meison. As Milo left the cave Siphon turned to see Meison, two feet away from him. Struggling to stand up, his only support was his unharmed right arm and the spear holding it with his unharmed left arm. He quickly lifted Siphon's spear aimed it at his brother and attacked him...
.A.
As Milo left the cave he saw the guards coming. "Leenasak, told us what was going on. Where's Meison?" Milo said "He's in there with Siphon. Hurry!" The guards then ran, as well as Milo but he got the akritak and headed to the palace.
When Milo arrived to the palace Jani came in running. "Yahd-luh-gohnik! Is she alright?"
"She's bleeding a lot from her head. I tried healing her myself, but there's too much blood."
"Come" Jani said. "We shall take her to her room." Samie was there also and asked Jani in tears if Kida was alright. "Teeg, but I need you to get hot water . Kiyish!" As Jani ordered Samie to hurry up, Milo arrived to Kida's room and put her in her bed. Jani was in tears just like Samie was. She wiped the blood-stained hair aways from her head and she had big bruise on her forehead. As she was looking where the blood was coming from she saw that blood from the back of her head. Jani was horrified. Milo was horrified also "Is she going to be alright?"
Jani wiped her tears "Yes, she will. Do not worry Milo, she will be fine. Kida is stronger than she looks." Milo smiled "I noticed." Jani saw that part of her dress was stained and torn, and she was concerned if she had bruises in other parts of her body.
In the kitchen Leena was there, and she didn't know what to do. She still believed that Milo, Siphon, and Kida were still in the cave. Finally Samie came in and she quickly put water on the bowl, and placed it over the fire. Leena saw her sister in tears then she asked "What's wrong?"
"Milo arrived with Kida, and I'm scared that she is not well. I mean she is not just our friend she is also a sister to us." Leena saw only a small glimpse of Kida in the cave, and she was bleeding from the head. "Don't worry sister, she will be fine. What about Meison and Siphon?"
In tears her sister responded "I believe they are still in the cave." With that Leena darted off. She hoped for Siphon to be alright.
.A.
As Leena approached the caves, she saw the guards putting a blanket over a body. She didn't know if it was Meison or Siphon. But that's when she saw Siphon's spear next to the body, that her heart broke. "No, no it can not be!" She started crying in tears. She kneeled next to the body, and cried her heart out. "Siphon, come back! I never got to tell you..." She continued crying when she saw a person in front of her. "Tell me what, Leenatoap?" It was a familiar voice. At first she didn't see well because she was blinded by tears, but when she wiped them away she saw Siphon. "You are alive!" She wanted to hug him but then decided not to, because she didn't want to look like a fool. "I thought you were dead." She said blushing.
"No, I'm alive. With a slight cut, but i'm fine." He grunted. That is when Leena saw blood in his belly. "What happened?" She asked.
"He attacked me with my own spear, he didn't hurt me much, just this cut. Well I grabbed the spear Milo left behind, turned around to face him but he lunged foward when he did and.." He wanted to say more but he started crying.
"Siphon" Leena murmured. "I'm so sorry. You had the right to defend yourself, but after all he was your brother." Siphon then stopped crying then wiped his tears. "I do not care if he was my brother, I still hated him with all my soul."
Leena then asked him "Do you want someone to pray while you throw his body into the lava river?" Siphon then had a serious look in his face "Kuahm, he doesn't deserve that privilege. I'm going to bury him."
"Where?"
"Somewhere far from the city where the Cherohk can eat his body."
"Are you sure you want that?" Leena asked.
"Teeg" Siphon then told the guards "You can all leave now, thank you for your help but I'll take it from here." Leena saw the guards leave when Siphon told her "You too Leena, I wish to be alone while I bury my brother. It will clear my thoughts."
Leena sighed "Very well, I will be at the palace if you need to talk to someone afterwards." He grabbed both of her hands gently "Trust me you are the first person that I would go to." With that she blushed.
"I will talk to you after I'm done. There is so much that I need to tell you." Siphon said.
"Alright" She smiled. Siphon then gave her something he had in his hand, it was Kida's necklace. "Meison had it after he framed Milo" Siphon said "I want you to give it to her and tell Milo everything that happened."
"I will, goodbye!" After she left Siphon saw the cut that he had, he decided to cure it with his crystal. He felt much better when he did. He stared his brother's body for a moment getting ready to burying him.
Yay! He's dead! ^^
