Chapter 62

Ytrian, leader of the Sevawings

There were things that were literally ominous about the strange island that Akaz got on. All of it, was with a eternal war, one that waged on day and night, even though that He did not see it yet. All of the explosions ceased, and some lasers were cut off instantly, the minute that the laser hit the expanding barrier. Everything that was shot at it, was instantly vaporized into the air, and never seen again, not in a million years. The Sevawings were still running like hell, hoping that they would not set off one of their own traps. In front of Akaz, all he could see was footsteps, flailing branches, and mostly traps, just activating as they did not catch anything.

The barrier seemed to ignore the objects and other existing barriers, but anything else was destroyed on contact. If only they could make it in time. On his way, he found several of the newly found Sevawings, trapped and already with their body injured, bleeding out, and left for dead. As Akaz looked behind, the barrier quickly approached, and watched as the innocent souls were instantly decimated, with no trace. The sight made him rethink about being here, but this was for the one of the Dragon's allies, Rasfa the Basalisk.

They were almost there to the edge, but suddenly, something was felt underneath Akaz's claws, hindering his movement. He kept trying, struggling to move faster than before, but within an instant, he was slowed down by the overwhelming amount of mud under his feet. He could feel how it slowed it down, as his feet sunk each time he tried to push off and run. Then, with a quick thought, decided to try and fly through, hoping that the extreme amount of foliage would not interrupt his one chance at escaping his disadvantage. He lifted both wings up, and took off while swinging them down, frantically flying and wondering when the patch would be behind him. The marsh was very treacherous, and very large in size. When Akaz got close to the end of the marsh, the barrier was visible at the beginning of the marsh, but something was now different, now it was turning more green as it got closer to the outside of the island.

He finally found the cliff, where all of the lucky and highly skilled Sevawings stood, relieved that they escaped the thought of death at that moment. Akaz hurried, and stood where they were, with his past opponent sitting down next to him. The barrier was extremely brighter, as it got closer to them. Akaz thought that it was going to end all of their lives, but instantly stopped the second it was one inch away from Akaz. His fear was spiking so fast, and his heart was beating like a drum while it just stood there. One of the young ones, out of the many sighed, and mentioned the boundary on which the barrier stops.

Three seconds later, the barrier began to quickly recede, going back to the place were it originally started. The barrier turned back from green to blue, and glowing dimmer and dimmer with each second, and with the sight of the barrier being nonexistent, a beam shot up from the center, and blasting a pulse of energy through the island. His opponent, stood back up, and commanded the others to start trudging back to their home, not mentioning the inclusion of Akaz.

"Cmon Phaydera. We need to get you back to your tomb anyways.." His opponent said to a young Sevawing. "We still do not want you dead, or falling into the wrong hands."
"Awww, but I really want to play with someone!" Phaydera annoyingly said. "It's not fair!"

Suddenly, a Sevawing inside the group wrapped it's scaly claws around her snout. She tried to let a yelp come out of her mouth, but it was too late as it was shut tight. "If Ytrian needs you in the tomb, then you go into it, you got that?" He said with ferocity. It seemed like the older one was aggressively holding her jaw shut, wanting her to stop complaining to save him the trouble. Phaydera made the command sound like it was unreasonable, and inhumane, but that is what she needed to do. "If I am trying to protect you from anyone who wants to know your power, you should listen. Didn't you survive this far into life, my child?" She explained. "You have something we all do not, and he might have it as well." She said while pointing at Akaz, who was currently breaking the branches.

The leaves were rustling peacefully, as the wind became existent, and cooled everyone down with a brisk wind. Ytrian called them out at the same time, commanding them to go back to the temple, where the tomb is thought to be. There was no sign of hesitation, no thoughts of rebelling, while they flew towards the tomb.

They finally touched down on the courtyard, being extremely jumpy, just in case any of the other factions came as a surprise. "Phay, back into the cell, we got your back." She said while firing a beam right at the strange symbol on the temple. "Maybe, just for you you can be with the outsider for a while."

Akaz stepped back, realizing that she was talking about him, letting him be alone with Phaydera. However, he did not know that much about Sevawings in general, besides seeing them and short conversation. Akaz saw her, staring straight at him, as his past opponent stopped concentrating on the symbol with her beam, and gestured them to come over, and enter the tomb. "Go on, its still safe." She said. "Hurry before nightfall occurs."

Phaydera nodded as Akaz entered the tomb first, while she followed behind him, and she closed to tomb behind her with a extreme blast of electricity throughout the room. The tomb was very dark at first, but then, Phaydera let him know that it was not the tomb that Ytrian talked about. Akaz then responded to her, asking who was it, that was named Ytrian. Phaydera paused, and quickly opened a hole with a glowing claw, cutting through like scissors and paper. The sparks shone across her long snout, while the hole's hatch was cut and then thrown aside.

"Cmon, the only thing that you can suffer from in here is absolute boredom." Phaydera complained.
