Just a quick note. When Krystal receives her new symbol, she receives all knowledge from the previous Goddess. Even though it's on her forehead, it hasn't showed her anything yet…

There is one chapter left in this story, but worry not I will explain more about what's going to happen afterwards after the last chapter.

Enjoy!

~Chapter 33: Wisdom~

Krystal

In a total of a good twenty minutes, I had entered the Sakura Blossom Forest. It was a small well maintained one. Plenty of healthy trees and even two apple trees.

I was still running but at a jogging pace. Suddenly a loud terrifying scream made me jump. I turned around as Simone did a backflip. She was bleeding from the side of her head. And she had her whip in her hand, which was covered in a bit of blood.

Good thing her back was facing me. I saw Zoey jump down from a tree branch closer to her. She winked at me. As she charged at Simone who seem to grit her teeth.

I began to pick up speed as I wanted to get as far as possible from these two. Their battle would be huge. Not to mention bloody and messed up.

That temple came into view and was made of old grey stone structures; it wasn't very big at all.

Suddenly, I was running so fast that I was sure I was a very, very safe distance away that I tripped over a raised piece of the stone pathway that I was on. I hit the ground head first as I blacked out.

Unbeknownst to me, my body had disappeared completely as it was engulfed in silver light.

"Wake up young one."

I opened my eyes as they widened in shock at the beautiful woman looking down at me. Her eyes were emerald green which complimented her green small circle necklace that was placed in the middle of her breasts. The chain holding it was small and silver.

She had light purple hair that flowed all the way down to her ankles. It was slightly curly along with her bangs. She wore a long strapless white dress with silky scarf that wrapped around her shoulders. On her forehead rested a white crescent moon with small dot next to it. Her skin was a light peach color.

"Who are you?" I asked as I sat up. I felt strange as if something wasn't right. Looking around me, I found my body lying completely still below me. I gasped.

"Easy Krystal, it's just your body down there. You are dead, but it's only to get you to meet me so I can assist you. After our important session I will send you back with something very extraordinary."

"Ok…"

"I am the previous Immortal One/Goddess Mya. I called your spirit here to assist you with the Wisdom symbol." She sent me a warm welcoming smile as she gestured me to come closer to her.

As I took in the surroundings, I noticed we were still in the Sakura Blossom Forest, or at least its trees were around us. Other than that everything was bleached in white including the grass.

She grabbed my hands with her own and said, "I'm going to teach and show you all about my Wisdom over the last thousand years. I'm going to pass on my power and add to yours now." She reached forward as she kissed my forehead and the white crescent moon had instantly begun taking shape on my forehead.

I didn't feel any pain at all. I blinked on surprise.

The Immortal Goddess Mya smiled. "You did not feel pain because the Wisdom symbol does not cause any. Now that you have achieved getting all three symbols, I must teach you about them. Lately I have seen you using your scythe for mostly all of your battles. You are now able to use your powers to the fullest."

"Courage can allow you to communicate with the Earth. It can also allow you its strength to heal others including yourself. You are also trained to hand to hand combat and can pull off amazing feats."

We decided to sit down as she continued. "Power allows you to use the hottest fires in the universe. Wisdom gives you all the knowledge passed down by myself. With all three you can accomplish great feats. Any questions so far?" She asked.

"Can I save my parents as well as the people turning to stone? Is it possible for me to bring back the dead?" I asked as I looked at her with a glimmer of hope in my eyes.

"Yes the people turned to stone can be saved. I am sorry, I am not sure if the dead can be resurrected, but I do know how to do it. It takes a great amount or equal value to bring a loved one back from the dead. I have never fully completed the spell."

My hope had begun to fade. But would the sacrifice end up costing me my life? I was going to ask about that when another question popped into my head, "Am I going to die from this curse I have with the black spirals now I'm the next Immortal Goddess?" I asked her as she thought about it for a second.

"I have seen what you have been going through." She waved her right hand over the space between us and a small visible portal appeared and showed all the hell I went through since the black spirals appeared.

"It is saddening indeed, but it is also a very powerful ancient curse. I do believe the new powers you have now will assist you in your current dilemma. I also know that another issue is on the rise. The asteroid, Raptor is on its way here. It will kill us all within only a short time." She was serious when she said the next sentence.

"It will be here not in three days but in twelve hours."

"What! Are you positive?" I blurted as I began to panic.

She nodded and said, "Unfortunately, Damon has just increased his power by ninety percent just now. I felt it in the Earth's disturbance. That number is the record of how many vampires and humans had fallen prey to losing their power. In other words they are now stone. They may or may not be deceased."

She put her hands on my shoulders to calm me down. She smiled at me again as she began to fade away. "My time grows weary here. Krystal do not fear, you can save mother Earth. And you can stop Damon. You have your friends to help you, and your new powers. It will take everything you have to save them and I will assist you as long as I can, I must rest and prepare."

I was then levitated back towards my body as she disappeared from my sight. Moments later, I had awoken on the area where I had tripped earlier. I picked myself up as I noticed something hanging in front of me.

It was Mya's green diamond necklace. It was already around my neck, but it was tucked into my shirt between my breasts. I looked up to see that I was back in the real world and that the asteroid did look a lot closer. The sky was pitch black.

I had so many questions left to ask, but I didn't get the chance. I sighed as I continued onward. I didn't have choice. I had to save everyone.

"Krystal to stop the asteroid, use the power of your heart combined with your powers. Think about love and the care of the people you now reign over. I have passed everything I have over to you; you are now the Immortal Goddess Krystal."

A pointy crystalized white diamond appeared before me as it went into my chest where my heart was.

"But if I'm immortal, I can't die can I?" I asked.

"That is true, but you can be gravely injured. We shall see soon enough. The necklace will show you Damon's weak points. Even though he is extremely powerful, he is not immortal. That is why he needs your blood. Now go and find your friends before they are turned to stone. They are the last remaining ones left." Maya said as I sent Zero a quick text letting him know that I was on my way soon.

About an hour later after some much needed thinking, I made it to the hospital. Before I got into my room, I had to make a quick detour to the nearest women's bathroom because of another coughing fit and lots of blood.

After I cleaned myself up, I leaned against a wall as I clutched the area where my heart was with one hand. I started to sweat a little. I could feel tiny beads of it rolling down my face slowly.

I took slow deep breaths as I tried to deal with the pain. After another painful chest throb, it had completely gone away. I felt my body being soothed a bit with a warm feeling. I could feel that the Earth might've had something to do with it, or maybe my full powers were starting to eliminate the pain little by little.

After cleaning my face, I went into my room as I closed the door behind me. I had just noticed that I haven't seen anyone at all on my way here or in the hospital.

Seeing my clueless face, Mr. Kiryu said, "Damon has teleported everyone who has been stripped of their life and turned to stone to wherever he is. I see you've accomplished your goal." He sent me a small confident smile.

"Um yeah. Getting this symbol didn't hurt either. I had died to meet with the Goddess Mya herself and said that she knows that I can do this. She gave me an important item, it's this green necklace. It allows me to see where Damon's weaknesses are."

I took it out and asked it to help with our quest for Damon's demise. It glowed green and floated in the air a few centimeters above my palm. It shot out a small green ray of light pointing at the Raptor. And showed a picture of me using all my abilities to defeat him.

"So I guess his weakness is you kicking his ass. You do have all three symbols so it sounds about right. "Zoey said as the stone's green color disappeared and it hung itself back around my neck.

"It seems like Damon is somewhere near Raptor. The green ray of light did point to it." Ichiru said. "What's the plan?"

Everyone looked at me. I immediately felt pressured but it went away after a large boost of confidence came out of nowhere. "It seems like this is a one-on-one fight. Meaning me fighting Damon. Apparently, it's what I have to do no matter how super freaked out I am right now."

Another thought popped into my head, "Zoey, what happened to your fight with Simone?" I asked.

She shrugged and said, "She was turned to stone because she was zapped by a red beam of energy which has been happening all over the place. The beam sucks out your life, turns you to stone and sends you to Damon's evil place."

She looked at the Raptor and said, "I'm not done with yet, but after all this crap is over, she should already know that I'm hunting her down." I could see the anger in her eyes.

"We're all going to help you as long as we can." Zero said as he suddenly appeared beside me. "But how the hell are you going to get up there?"

That same question had been on everyone's mind as we all stared at Raptor who was inching even closer to home.

Eventually we all ended up in a large grassy field. It was cold and windy.

"Let me see." I stuck my hand out as a green glow covered it. I concentrated on making a raised platform. The ground started to rumble as the large platform was being raised from dirt and grass.

"Nice job girl!" Zoey complimented.

The green glow left my hands as I was suddenly pushed down. Several red rays had been shot toward us.

I looked up to see the whole family trying to dodge the things. Ichiru tried to block it with his sword but it was turned to stone.

"Damn!" He cursed right as he was hit through the chest and fell as he turned to stone and teleported.

I quickly stood as I formed a green barrier in front of us. I thought that would stop the red beams of death but I was wrong. It hit everyone instantly even though they still managed to dodge. It seemed to follow them.

"Krystal get going! Remember we love you!" I heard Zoey say as fell to her knees and died. I ran over there screaming her name and crying. She had disappeared before my eyes.

I was still crying but quickly wiped them away. I had a job to do. I can't stop now. Everyone was depending on me, a seventeen year old high school girl.

I glared at Raptor as I called my scythe to my hand. I was getting ready to throw it right at the damn asteroid when a black ball of electrocution engulfed me. The pain hurt like hell as I was brought sky high and thrown onto a large metal platform floating in the sky.

I hadn't seen it before so why—

"Poor little Krystal, all alone and scared while I continue to absorb great powers of everyone on this pathetic planet." Damon said with a smirk on his face.

In the back of my mind I was scared as hell but on the outside I smirked as well, "This is what you wanted Damon. A one-on-one epic battle to save the world. Let's get it started!" I said as I ran at him in full force with my scythe in hand.

I prayed that I could win this battle, if not we're all screwed to hell.
