I swung my new broadsword and caught Matsu in the shoulder. He slid back a few feet and shot a bullet at me. I blocked it with my sword and charged again, drawing my twin blades. At the same time Bo and Atoli cast spells.
Matsu's two party members fell, leaving him alone.
I realized (for the first time in forever) that my awakening gauge was filled.
"Alright, here we go!"
I used Demon Awakening, and took down Matsu.
"Miriam!" Ella dropped to her knees.
"What the-"
Miriam screamed and fell down as well. Both of them held their hands to their ears.
"What's going on? Is it AIDA?" Zelkova asked.
"No." Miriam managed to choke out. "It's something else!"
"It's her!" Ella screamed, covering her ears.
The ground began to shake beneath my feet. The colors inverted and a high pitched screeching filled my ears.
"Morganna?" Bo whispered, his eyes wide with realization
"I will have my revenge." A voice growled "You will realize how foolish you really were."
"Who-" I was interrupted as the data went normal and the screeching ceased. "What..."
We were warped back to the Arena entrance.
"Bo, Atoli, are you guys okay?"
They nodded.
"Good."
Kuhn came running up the steps.
"What happened? Is everyone okay?" He asked, looking particularly at me.
"Yeah, I think so." I said.
Kuhn sighed in relief. "That's good."
"Who is Morganna?" Atoli asked. Bo flinched at the question and looked down.
"I don't know." I sighed. I wasn't going to even try asking
At that moment Bo jumped. He began to run toward the Chaos Gate. I followed after him, gaining on him quickly. When I got a good look at him, his eyes had a far away look to them.
"Bo!"
"Ella no! Be careful! Morganna will get you if you go there."
Morganna again? And what about Ella?!
He went through the Chaos Gate. I managed to grab his shoulder, and warped with him.
We were taken somewhere else, a place I had never seen before. Data shimmered around us, and it seemed to be falling apart.
"Hellllllp meeee." Someone moaned.
There was a deep mist around us.
"Where is this?"
Bo shook his head. "This is... this was a gate to R:1." He whispered.
"How... how is that possible?" I asked.
He sighed. "I don't know."
Suddenly the mist cleared, and someone began to sob. I ran forward, with Bo tagging behind me.
"Ella!" He called.
"Bo!" Someone called back.
We came upon a ravine. At the bottom, Ella was chained, right next to Miriam.
Miriam's chains were almost faded. In fact, there was only chain holding her there, and that was against her ankle. Ella's chains were fading as well, but not enough to make me feel better.
Then again, who knows why they were there, or who brought them.
"What the..."
"Here the rest sleep,"
The Avengers bitter wings.
They beg to be wakened,
but She holds them there.
There were several other PCs down in the ravine as well, but before I could figure out who they were, Bo and I were warped out.
"Ella..." Bo and I whispered together.
"Kaden, Bo!"
I looked up. Kuhn was running up to us.
"Kuhn, I gotta go. Something just came up." I told him and logged out without another word.
I opened my e-mail and looked through all the messages about the Prophecy I had been told about.
Once the Chaos hits, the Epitaphs must stand together,
I wrote it in an e-mail and sent it to all the Epitaph Users and was about to log in when I recieved a reply from Kuhn.
You're missing one piece to that. It was the first piece of the Prophecy, the one that led us to Indieglut Lugh.
What happened while you were- never mind, Bo just told me.
