Tide of Grief in the Shore of Memories: Start of His Sorrows
Flashback
"Mom!" Brendan called out to the woman who is battling the Harpy Queen
"Brendan, come here and lend me a hand!" Brendan's mom ordered
So he did so by firing a few bullets with an icicle seal witch the Harpy Queen easily dodged
"Stay still!" Brendan shouted in frustration
"Dread Whirlpool!" Brendan's mom spun her umbrella and a giant whirlpool was created and got thrown to take the Harpy Queen down
The Harpy Queen got caught inside the whirlpool but endured the pain and pressure and wiped it away. It then swoop down with its talons pointing at Brendan.
"Get out of the way!" Brendan's mom tackled Brendan causing her to get struck instead right in the chest
"NO!" a masculine voice was heard and some pulses could be seen firing out to hit the Harpy Queen but it dodged and flew away
"Father!" Brendan called out to the black haired man who is now running to the direction of her mom who is in near death situation
"Lilith!" Brendan's father knelt down in front of his fallen and bloody wife
"D - Dilan..." she struggled to stand up and hug her husband but to no avail she died without anymore words
Brendan was mourning over his mother in where he was standing he didn't even have the courage to go near her mother and just knelt in place and started to punch the ground.
"It should have been me! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!" Brendan's shout came with thunder and rain he felt the raindrops and stopped punching the ground and shouted with a vengeance
Atop a tree was the wounded girl watching her mourning bestfriend from her position.
"I'm sorry if I can't approach you and mourn with you... I can't use Revive now... I can't go near you because you'll probably ask me... I'm so useless, I can't even cast a single spell right now... Even Feather Dance... I'm so weak and useless... Condolence my dear... Man! I can't bear t - to see you li - like this!" she said with tears in her eyes she jumped away from tree to tree
End of Flashback
Brendan's POV
"Yes! Yes! That's it! Fill your soul with wrath and anger! Soon you will submit to me your body!" Brandon said to me from inside my body
"Try to control yourself boy, be calm." Brenda advised
I calmed myself down and was successful. I breathe deeply and I held Pure Frost speed stance.
"This for my mother bird!" I shouted with burning determination
"Good to see you cool and calm." Pure said
"I'll break into a rage after some minutes so might as well embrace your strength while I'm still hanging." I responded with a smirk.
"Then attack!" Pure Frost ordered
I dashed rapidly while dragging Pure Frost on the ground.
TPV
"Aurora Break" Brendan yelled after releasing his skill
A wave that's changing color every second approached the Harpy Queen which it evaded.
"Hey Aira! Open up your umbrella and I'll teach you a skill." Brendan called out to the water mage who is standing still and just watching him
"Alright... I guess?" Aira did so Brendan said "What am I going to do now?"
"Hold on, just keep it open as I shake bird seed breath off!" Brendan answered while dodging the giant harpy's talons
Brendan jumped back and positioned his weapon in neutral stance.
"Ice Shard Strike!" Brendan yelled
Pure Frost's orb glowed and the five ice shards dispersed in different directions but with one target; the Harpy Queen. The giant bird humanoid dodged three but the other two hit its mark. The Harpy Queen fell to the ground.
"Now spin your umbrella and collect vapor!" Brendan ordered Aira
Aira nodded and did what Brendan asked her to do. Water vapor gathered and spun in unison with Aira's umbrella creating a whirlpool.
"Now thrust your umbrella and hurl that big baby!" Brendan ordered again
"Uuu~ I hope this works." Aira said before thrusting her umbrella
The whirlpool got a bulls eye and caught the Harpy Queen. The Harpy Queen once again prepared to wipe the whirlpool away like what happened to Lilith's whirlpool. Brendan's eyes glowed icy blue and he quickly positioned Pure Frost in defense stance.
"Not this time bird brain! Frost Pulse" Brendan used his skill
An icy blue pulse ray coming from Pure's orb froze the whirlpool and the Harpy Queen with it.
"This for my mother!" Purification!" Brendan lifted Pure pointing its tip to the sky
Light blue light from the clouds got absorbed by Pure Frost.
"Now DIE! Purified Frost Slash Spectacle!" Brendan slashed the Harpy Queen in half and it became ice fragments ice pillars also bursted from the ground and the temperature dangerously decreased
Aira's POV
I just stood in awe after watching Brendan. His power is incredible that I can't find a word to describe it. I snapped out of my thoughts and approached a panting Brendan.
"Uh... Brendan?" I started but no response
After some akward quietness he turned to me and he pointed his zweihander at me with his eyes which is now color red.
"None shall stand in my way! Stand down and join me or you will be next!" he said but his voice isn't normal its more deeper than ever
I walked backwards but he stepped forward.
"Brendan?" I said now getting scared
He swung his weapon but I avoided it. Then he did Aurora Break but I also avoided it. Then he sent a flurry at me which I struggled to evade and shockingly did. I started to pant heavily while his tiredness from before vanished. Then I tried to attack him by using Bubble Spray but he just popped my bubbles. I got pinned to a coconut tree and he raised his giant sword and swung it downwards. I used Water Geyser to block it and was successful. I continued to hide behind the geyser but my skill won't last long and he's still trying to kill me.
"Brendan, snap out of it!" I shouted but he did not reply and did not show any signs of stopping
I started to panic not knowing what to do and that's when my savior came.
"Barrage Combo!"
Brendan: What the heck was that?
Rena: (sweatdropped) Oh brother! Another cliffhanger!
Brendan: Hey! That rhymes! Write it down!
Me: Sorry, the Brendan going berserk thing just went out of my mind while I was typing this.
Brendan: You dare give us another cliffhanger! Update fast or I'll slash you in half!
Cross: And I'll smash your head to the ground!
Me: Wait... What are you doing here?
Cross: C'mon they already know that it's me. So why bother hiding it?
Rena: Got a point... Anyway read and review!
Notes
1) Dread Whirlpool is a very strong Water Mage's skill which the Uezuki Water Mages only knew how to use and now also Aira.
2) Lilith is Brendan's mother which is a Water Mage and Dilan is his father which is a Star General.
3) The girl can't use Revive because she ha used all her strength which if she can the result of Brendan's past wouldn't be that way.
4) Note again this is her mother's death and she's the first down this is just the beginning.
5) About Brandon's plan... Later!
6) Pure Frost gets some more juice or strength when Brendan is calm and cool but if not she weakens.
7) Aurora Break: drags Pure on the ground then sends a wave that changes color every second. A skill in Speed Stance.
8) Ice Shard Strike: orders the five shards of Pure to disperse and attack the target in different directions. A skill in Neutral Stance.
9) Frost Pulse: fires an icy blue pulse ray coming from Pure's orb that freezes the target. A skill in Defense Stance.
10) Purification: Pure absorbs blue light from the clouds to power up its attacks.
11) Frost Slash Spectacle: slashes the target in half and freezes it then after some seconds the target breaks into pieces or turns into dust. In Purified Mode this skill also makes ice pillars appear from the ground which is able to damage severely those who will be caught.
12) Why is Brendan attacking Aira and not himself is... Next chapter!
13) You know who uses Barrage Combo, right?
14) Please also use Pure Frost because Magnum is being used to much making him a Magnum Holder only.
