Chapter 44
Cold Nova
"Before you say this, Your welcome." Arianas Said. "Welcome to one of our secretive places my new friend."
"What is this This? A Volcano?" Azain asked. "You said a cold place right?"
"Exactly. Please fix your ears." Arianas pleaded. "Trust me, This is cold Nova."
"How does ice stay intact on a volcano?"Azain asked. "Isnt it impossible at this rate?"
Arianas cut him off, and grabbed his hand. Azain could feel his heart sinking, thinking that Arianas was going to joke around and blow a huge stream of icy wind. However, he did not, but instead, he Flung him onto his back, as a act of wanting to at least help him weaken or take down Nesc. So they walked down to a very strange gate, one with no walls, just the door. It had a huge hole in the middle as the entrance, and the door was already open. In the Wyvern's mind, he thought it was a trap, so he proceeded carefully and looked around for any signs of ambush. "I will get off of you, so that you can see what is up." Azain said, as he hopped off his back, brimming with his light blue scales. He pulled out his corrosive dagger, and Arianas was ready to stab anybody with his poisonous stinger, hoping he would get at least one, or if anything, avoid it.
As Azain walked closer to the gate, He realized that it became much colder. A few steps before made it seem like it was a desert. He knew something was up, so he asked Arianas what this sudden change meant. He responded back to him; "If you have gates, walls and shields, then we got Barriers.". Arianas braced himself near the mountain's border, because he never went there in a long time, so he would not be used to it, not to mention adapting to a desert environment. They would hear low voices coming through the gate, as they knew that they were about to greet one of their old friends and neighbors. Azain was shivering at this point, thinking in his mind that the temperatures gone from high to below zero real quick. Without warning, Arianas stopped right at the base of the standalone gate. He quickly peeked in, as a barrier rippled as his head pierced it. He quickly retracted it, hearing questions about what was going on, sometimes even why the Acron was not attacking them like they did to Xira and Erilious.
The Cold Nova has already been notified about the coming war, and still, there is an uproar a few miles away into a freezing cavern. The people here were meek, not wanting to fight, but instead negotiate. If they felt like they were betrayed, they would kill, and then with ice, take down other nations and even conquer whole territories, just for one little betrayal to anyone in this misunderstood tribe. Professors would wonder and their one question out of many for their personal top five pick, How is the Cold Nova stronger than the Melequis, but still cannot defeat them? It was like answering zero divided by zero, there was no answer to how they could one day overpower Melequis, but the people and chief included would never try that in the first place, and would not want to by any chance.
The people at the gate of the border pulled out their crossbows that were imported from the Eclipse Confederacy. The deadly weapon itself could pierce even Akaz's scales, if modified correctly. They got their arrows, imbued with ice completely, and loaded that into the crossbow with no hesitation. They all aimed and was waiting for when they would identify themselves. They were as silent as the night sky, still waiting for both of them to come through. A few moments later, they saw a dot, grow into a nose, and it expanded into a Wyvern, being exactly the same as one of their voices of reason. They ignored it and aimed with full focus of the center of the gate, or at least along the line of the center, that was going down vertically. A glove came through with a hand inside it, and Azain walked through, seeing the guards all aiming at him.
"What is the meaning of this Arianas!?" Azain yelled while putting both of his hands up, wanting to at least divert their aim from him and hopefully not any arrow fired at all.
"Hey you know this guy?" One of them asked.
"He is with me, do not worry." Arianas responded as the people clapped slowly. "If he tries to stab me in the neck, I will sting him back, and trust me, he is going to be begging for mercy."
"So, how did we do master?"
"To be honest, that was very exceptional, but the only problem is, anybody can pass through that gate, and only the ones carrying the mark of the Cold Nova, could pass through every point of the barrier." The drill sergeant told. "Somebody rushing in here with that, and they would kill us, but you was lucky that it was one of our members."
"You mean this was a drill?" Azain asked. "Did you forget to tell me about anything Arianas?"
"Well I did forget that there was a very long training session for taking out anybody who comes in." Arianas said being embarrassed. "One of you shoot at me."
"What? but why?" One of them responded.
"Trust me, those arrows are absolute garbage when it comes to ice imbued humans or animals. However, Azain here, is not one of them."
"Oh, we will take care of that." The Sergeant said.
He lifted his hands up, making ice grow on his back, and all around him, making him an elemental entity. He slowly gone towards Azain, making him more scared then death, despite that he thought this could result in it. He then telepathically lifted him up into the air, and the elemental made a spike shoot through his icy hand. He first scanned him like a robot with range, and knew that he was not from here, so this was way better, as he swore no eternal oath to anybody. The transformed Sergeant then grabbed Azain by the torso, and stabbed the ice spike into his chest. He then let the resistance of extremely cold temperatures possible by releasing a toxin that had permanent effects. Soon, his body felt like he was standing on a hill on a summer day, being warm, while on the outside, the temperatures were no longer freezing his body. Blood however, gushed out quick and soon he passed out from shock.
"What did you do to him!?" Arianas disturbingly asked.
"He should be fine, remember Arianas, I am new at being one of the few people give blessings from our land." The Sergeant said while transforming back into the human he was. "Wait a second, weren't you banished?"
"Yes, but that was one year. and that passed already." Arianas answered back.
"I see." The sergeant responded. "The chief although, still wants somebody to rid you of your untrue fantasies."
"I swear Nesc is evil! I know he is!" Arianas bellowed.
The Sergeant held his neck to his height, and quietly whispered to him; "You are my friend, but what is sadder then seeing him get banished, is knowing that he is all loco with just one person." as he tried to convince him that one of the Cold Nova's most prestigious soldiers, was not what he thought he was.
"I am begging you, please do not." Arianas begged for mercy.
"Nesc is not bad! He did not mean to do what he did!" The sergeant angrily said. "AND FOR THE LAST TIME! HE DID NOT KILL YOUR MOTHER WITH ANYTHING HE HAD. PLEASE SHUT UP!"
"He did that to her! He knew it and he gone with it!"Arianas bellowed.
"Oh my, this gone from a old imagination to a new one." The Sergeant sighed in disbelief. "Can you please tie this crazy lizard up, I do not want to hear any more lies from his mouth."
Soon one of the pupils of the Sergeant got a rope and tied it around his wings tightly, also wrapping it around his legs and tail. Another one muted him with a muzzle, following his master's orders. Arianas was trying to escape but the rope was too strong, and the muzzle was locked on very tight. In his mind, everything that they think is sooner or later going to obliterate them, as he thought that they were intentionally wanting to see it. Azain woke up seeing the poor Wyvern get dragged away from him, and the Sergeant apologized to him just in case he heard anything about them or the Wyvern. He stood up being unscathed, and untouched.
"What just happened?" Azain asked."All I saw was a huge ice Golem pick me up and kill me. Is this heaven?"
"No, this is real. Just make sure you visit your friend that you came with if you are coming to this gate at the three day mark." The Sergeant answered.
"Why? What is the matter?" Azain asked again.
"Alright. What do you know about Nesc so far?" The Sergeant asked back.
"Well, he said that he is planning to overthrow each tribe, and destroying other planets for practice." Azain answered.
"The second one is new to me. Where did you get that from?" The Sergeant said.
"I figured it out by myself. I saw Pluto get decimated by his giant axe." Azain answered. "I do not believe however that he is totally evil and stuff, I think there is still good in him."
"Have you gotten face to face with him?" The Sergeant asked again. "Because some of us felt his wrath."
"No, now that you mention it." Azain replied.
"And that is why your friend is going to be free of his mental curse." The Sergeant informed. "He lied to you about Nesc. Although that was not his fault. There was a little... Accident."
"So what is your plan in the next few days?" Azain asked.
"Get Nesc back, get everybody in check, including Arianas, and finally wipe out the Acron once and for all." The Pupil said.
