Chapter 43
'Sernos' Thadrae
It was already day after a few hours, or as it felt like. The Sun shone like a direct laser beam, beginning to make the center of the floor start sizzling like boiling water. The scent that it created was very dense, but slim at the same time. Within the room, anybody who was even touching the tan carpet, could smell it and think it was an actual fire. Although, while Elise was stirring in her sleep lightly while at the crack of dawn, and Enuo wondering what was going on, they were not aware of what miracle was about to happen.
A few hours later, there was a slight movement of Elise's egg, but it did not give anybody a warning, even nobody noticed. Maybe it was a false alarm, or something else, Elise thought as she heard a faint tap. She ignored the scent and then flicked it with her tail, accidentally whipping Enuo's wooden chair and breaking one leg as Enuo fell on his back. "Elise! Why!?" Enuo complained while getting up and rubbing his sore head. Immediately, Elise got up and looked at him like he was playing her favorite game. Then she realized that she knocked him over. "Oh Enuo I did not see you there." She apologized and lightly chuckled after, as she stood up. She anxiously checked on the egg to see if anything has happened yet. Once she focused on her egg and looked at it like an Eagle, she saw no difference, other than the position that she changed last night. She was a little irritated, but not enough to be visible to Enuo, showing her furious emotion.
She began feeling the quick and spaced out vibrations of the egg. It was weird to her, since the vibrations were coming from the ground, and there were certain areas would be vibrating, while others were intensely warm. When Enuo saw her being confused and scanning the floors for something, He came down to her. Although he was in the area where Elise felt the vibrations, somehow the effects were reversed somehow, like the species would have reversed effects. "Enuo… Please do not tell me you attached something to the egg…" She softly said. Enuo did not exactly know what she meant, but then he finally realized his feet were already suffering from burns. He hopped back yowling in pain as he held it tight to his stomach.
The burns from the affected area of the egg were beginning to make a fire, creating a pattern on the ground, but strangely not burning the wood below, despite the fire. The pattern looked like a bio hazard sign, but it was only faint. The ground itself was red and light yellow as heat was slowly corroding the wood, then with a breath of air, it disappeared. They were unsure about what just happened, but one thing was for sure, is that it will enter the world in a short time. Elise smiled, wanting to cradle her egg with her own arms, but then again, she could set off the aura once again, making poor Enuo get burnt once again on a wooden surface.
"I think the time is coming..." Elise muttered under her breath.
"What is going on!? What is that!?" Enuo complained. "Is that another Aura!?"
Within the object, a faint "Uwu?" was heard within. Although nobody, even Elise did not hear it. What Elise was thinking was to go try and find Akaz herself, but Enuo thought he should stay with the egg.
The next few moments were kind of exhilarating, eliminating the boredom out of their minds, as a sense of danger crashed over Enuo's mind. When he looked at Elise, something was ultimately strange about her, almost like she changed in an instant. She still looked the same, still being a white dragon and then the aura appeared as the same. Strangely the wind found itself within the home as if the walls did not exist at all. The gusts were strong, and was almost an tornado, but the winds were not strong enough. He would find himself being so close to slipping that it would be either not slip or get flung out of the house and probably dive into one of the lunar craters. She was losing it, as she exerted a sphere of wind to knock over Enuo. Once Enuo recovered from being knocked over, there was the moment where Elise completely lost control, and began floating in midair, causing her to dangle her arms and make a fire float above each hand. She raised the right flame, as it instantly turned blue and spontaneously exploded into a raging inferno in all directions. The house was now finally burning, but Enuo doused the fire that was burning his leg, as he was groaning in pain from the burns. The fire was extremely wild, and smoke and ash was filling the air. Finally, Enuo began counterattacking with his bow and arrow, but somehow he had to not kill her, since this was not her fault, and there was almost no known cause for this.
He pulled back on his string and let it go with an arrow that had dynamite strapped to it. It flew through the ominous winds, and was tilted a bit. Enuo saw his intended target going from her arm to her head. Suddenly the winds stopped as he knew the unintended shot did something. Soon the flames disappeared and she seemed dead, although there were no wounds that indicated a confirmed kill. She no longer ascended, and instead lowered down to the ground, dangling at her suspended position. She ended up laying there like she was sleeping, so Enuo crept closer to her. He took his knife out as he crept towards her a little more. He had a rising suspicion that it might've been a trap, as at the same time he wanted it to be. If she was dead, that would put a lot on Enuo's mind, including what the queen will do to him once she finds out.
Elise began breathing again as she prepared for a quick escape before she could use what she had. Enuo got near her neck, and Elise sensed it, reacting on sight and swinging her neck, causing Enuo to get flung from the ground, to the air through the roof. She felt the urge to chase him into the sky, but instead, the control broke, and instantly knocked her out.
"Eeeeerrkkk..." The young one called out from within the egg, but still nobody heard it coming from it. Enuo was hugely concerned about Elise as he was falling out of the sky, yelling. He thought to himself, let gravity kill you, or Knock it away. He knew that in order to not die, he had to do something that he never did before. Reversing his own gravity. He then dove face down, and soon he was upside down, slowing his fall. He was almost to the ground now, and he nearly skimmed the lunar surface, with dust dusting up the air as he slid across it. He soon realized that he was going into the air a few seconds later. Increasing his speed gradually as he got higher and higher into the night sky. He then deactivated it quick, but he looked upwards upside down, and he saw himself about to plummet into a whole planet with hard surface. He tried to flip right side up, but he was awkwardly tilted once he did, and it was too late, he landed, hearing his bone get cracked, and he was now limping weakly, as his legs were not broken yet. He unintentionally jumped to the side and fell down on his back as well.
He looked at the home he was in, and ran towards it, wanting to know if Elise was alright. He ran as fast as he could as he hoped it was not too late. He felt like she was being controlled by a demon or another weird entity, With thoughts screaming in his mind; Must get there! Must get there! She is My friend! I am not letting her go!. He was running like he never did before, or at least unlike himself most of the time, compared to what was happening at the last lunar desolation. He was thinking heavily about that, but then ended up slamming into the door. He shook his head vigorously, and opened the door calmly. He saw Elise laying there, like she was sleeping, also twitching her legs a bit. She moved just fine, but something was still off. He could feel her darkness constantly gripping around his legs, almost like someone was about to drag him into the void with no hesitation. It kept on seeping into him, making him feel woozy, not alive even. He quickly got out of there, and took the egg before he left, just in case the darkness that she inhibited had potential to kill the life inside. He opened and closed the door with hast and crouched along the wall, gently holding the egg in his arms. He kept on screaming in his head; "You are fine!", Although, the young one did not hear through the shell. However, it did hear the vibrations through Enuo's chest and the shell. So he decided to break out of his shell, despite not feeling like it. It tried to forcefully punch the shell with all his might, but all he could hear was the shaking of the egg and it tilting back and forth.
"That's odd.. Maybe it wants out?" Enuo whispered. He held his fist high, and looked at the edge of the egg. He was very scared to crack it and accidentally hit the living infant that was inside. To avoid this, he gently placed his hand on the top of the egg, and applied pressure downwards, hoping that it would slowly crack the egg without any injury whatsoever. Enuo did this gradually, and began hearing some screeches that he doubted the dragon could make. The young one intentionally punched where Enuo was trying to open the egg. very strange noises came from the egg as the top began to crack, and it began to split rapidly. When the infant heard the crack, he ran back, and rammed it with his head. Within three more tries, light began slipping in, as he knew that it was almost there. The point where he could be free, able to explore at his own will. He walked back and rammed the top like it was a irresistible button on the wall. Soon, he impacted the top and the shards flew like bullets, as he tried to get out, he felt a huge hand push him down onto the edge of the broken egg. Enuo saw him, and gasped heavily, as Elise came outside and saw the same sight. the infant felt a enormous sharp pain to his stomach, and screeched again. Elise rushed over and rammed Enuo and wrapped the infant around her tail. She was surprised, but sadly mistaken, as she thought that Enuo was trying to kill him. He stumbled and quickly recovered before staring into each other's eyes.
"What is wrong with you!?" Elise yelled at Enuo.
Enuo backed up a step, and replied; "I did not mean to! I felt something-" And was cut off by Elise, saying; "He is Very Fragile! Please!"
"Either that, or he could suffocate to death inside that egg or starvation!" Enuo stated. "Not to mention You were going Psycho back there!"
"Psycho!?" Elise responded.
"Did you forget!?" Enuo yelled. "I know you did not!"
"No, Last time I remember, I was inspecting that same egg!" Elise pleaded.
"Well, Let me just tell you this." Enuo said. "If I did not take that egg, you were most likely going to break it and kill your own son. You would not like to realize that would you?"
"No." Elise answered.
"RRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk..." The Infant growled.
"So, I guess what he and I decided, his name should be Revenant. Secretly Sernos." Elise stated.
"Why a secret name?" Enuo asked.
"There are always some person who is going to put a price on your head, and Akaz said it will waste a lot of time being endlessly being sliced at." Elise answered.
"Well, I will just be going so you can be together alright?" Enuo stated his business.
"Well, I hope he is not dead." Elise softly said. "I swear if that blue weirdo kills him, I will end him, and hunt down his whole family and take anything that is related to him."
"Well, we do not want a war between galaxies. That's for sure." Enuo advised.
Finally, I get this chapter out, 7 more to write. So if you read up to this, congrats, you have a interest! Anyway, I would love to finish this and do this sooner, but time is not permitting.
