Chapter 7- Nor'ac Strikes Back
A week later Tronay finds Sarina siting on a rock looking at the ground.
"I thought we could cheer each other up," Tronay says.
"Thanks but no thanks Tronay," Sarina says rising from the rock.
Tronay moves in-front of Sarina.
"Look I understand that you feel like a failure, but Sarina we're only trying to help you deal with the pain of losing him," Tronay says.
Sarina looks up at Tronay.
"You mean it?" Sarina asks.
"You bet I do," Tronay replies.
Perhaps Tronay is right, Sarina thinks to herself.
So the two of them walk back to Dartz.
"Guess who I found," Dartz says as Sundar steps out into the light.
"So how did it go?" Sundar asks.
"Ok I guess," Tronay replies.
"Tronay . . ." Sarina begins, turning to face Tronay.
"What is it Sarina?" Tronay asks.
"I want you to have the amulet," Sarina replies holding out the amulet to Tronay.
"Are you sure?" Tronay asks picking up the amulet from Sarina outstretched hand.
"Yes. I think that Santerous would have wanted you to have it," Sarina replies.
"Very well Sarina," Tronay says tying the amulet around her neck.
Suddenly the amulet begins to shine.
"What's going on?" Tronay asks.
"I think the amulet is responding to something," Sarina replies.
"Responding to what?" Tronay asks.
"How would I know? Just use your powers," Sarina replies.
"I didn't know I had powers," Tronay says.
Sarina because of . . .Silver begins.
I know that Dartz is the reason that she doesn't know that she has powers, Sarina snaps.
"Tronay just focus," Sarina says.
So Tronay closes her eyes and she can see something: big creatures with wings, dragons, and it looks like they're trying to force something off a cliff. She opens her eyes.
"Come. This way!" Tronay shouts as she runs over to the cliff.
So the others follow. When they reach the cliff they see Mirage on the edge of the cliff with the other Guardians walking toward him.
Tronay, you must save Mirage, Eatos' voice echoes in her mind.
Eatos how? Tronay asks.
I think that you already know, she replies.
Eatos summons herself and flies over to Mirage. Once there, she lands, takes out her sword and points it at the other Guardians.
If you move one more step then I'll have no choice, she says.
The Guardians don't listen to her, they just keep on coming. Eatos tightens her grip on her sword and runs toward them. She doesn't even get a chance to use her sword however. Uria bashes into her knocking the sword out of her hand and sending it spinning down along the ground. She gets to her feet.
Enough! Eatos shouts.
Eatos summon a blue sphere of energy by using both her hands to form a circle shape. The blue sphere hits the Great Leviathan. The Great Leviathan crashes to the ground. She does the same to Aurora and Uria. Uria gets back to his feet.
Eatos creates another of those blue spheres. Uria roars and unleashes a Fire Blast and Eatos unleashes the blue sphere.
"Stop this at once!" Tronay shouts as she runs in-between the two.
Both of the attack collide, where Tronay is.
"Tronay," Sarina shouts.
Eatos, who has created another blue sphere, lets it spin into nothing and she lowers her hands.
"Tronay!" Sarina and Sundar shout running over to her.
Tronay's eyes are closed.
"Sundar take Tronay to camp. I'll meet you there," Sarina says lifting Tronay's body for Sundar.
"Ok. Just hurry Sarina," Sundar replies running off with Tronay on her back.
When Sarina arrives at camp the sun is setting. She walks toward a forest-green tent and enters it. Inside sits Sundar and Tronay lays on a cot placed on the dirt floor. Sundar had lighted some candles and their glow didn't really help.
"So how did it go with the Guardians and Eatos ?" Sundar asks.
With a sigh Sarina sat down on one of the cushions on the floor.
"We got them broken up so hopefully it won't happen again," Sarina answers. "So how's Tronay?"
"Not good," Sundar replies. "That Fire Blast from Uria left her with a lot of burns and Eatos' attack . . ."
"You mean her Aura power," Sarina says.
"Aura? What's that?" Sundar asks.
"You don't know? It's the living energy that is inside our bodies. It's told that some people and creatures could control Aura," Sarina replies.
"Uh-ah ok. Anyway that power that Eatos has is extremely powerful. Look at Tronay's left arm," Sundar says.
Sarina looks at Tronay's arm, huge dark spots cover it.
"That attack it . . ." Sarina cries.
"I know and the bad part is that if Eatos was evil then think how much more powerful that attack could get," Sundar says.
"Sundar you go and get some sleep. I'll look after Tronay," Sarina says.
"Are you sure?" Sundar asks.
"Yes now go!" Sarina says.
So Sundar leaves the tent.
. . . Sarina . . . A voice echoes from the distance.
That voice. . . .no it can't be Tronay or can it? Sarina thinks.
For the rest of the night Sarina sleeps.
{Tronay-narrator}
It's so dark and my arm is hurting. Wait I sense something. Something large and big and . . .it looks like a dragon. A dragon, but how? All the dragons I know are good.
Wait!
(Flashback of her running into Eatos and Uria's firing path)
That might be why my arm is hurting. Let me see if I can pinpoint that dragon's location. Nope. Nothing but darkness. I wonder what happened to Uria. I wonder if he's safe.
Outside the tent a dragon lays about three feet away.
So the human who's brother was the vessel for my master is in that tent, the dragon thinks. Wait I sense another human in there too! So there are two humans in that tent.
The dragon moves closer, her yellow eyes shining in the darkness.
I'll wait til dawn to strike.
The next morning Sarina wakes up and steps out of the tent to walk around. She is attack by the dragon with yellow eyes. After a few minutes Sarina knows who it is.
"Finca is that you?" She asks.
The young dragon raises her head.
Sarina how did you know? Finca asks.
"Simple I realized that it was you by your eyes," Sarina answers.
Is was that simple? Finca asks.
"Yes it was," Sarina replies. "Why are you here?"
I was sent here to look for Tronay, she replies.
"Well then you can see her if you want," Sarina says lending Finca into the tent where Tronay was.
So that's her, Finca thinks. She looks so peaceful unlike her oldest brother.
Finca spots Tronay's left arm.
So I was right, she thinks. Tronay was hurt.
Suddenly Finca lifts her head.
No it can't be him, she thinks running outside.
Sarina follows her. Outside dark clouds gather around the camp. A dragon is hovering in the middle of the dark clouds.
Well I never would have thought that you would be alive, Nor'ac says looking at Finca.
Finca flies into the air and charges at Nor'ac. He easily dodges and spins around, his tail slamming into her chest. She roars and charges at him again. He can't dodge quick enough and gets knocked off balance.
From the trees nearby a human sits watching the whole battle.
Finca you have improved a lot since back in Atlantis but you still can't do it alone, the person thinks.
"Eatos help her out please," he says.
A dark shadow flies out of the tree. Finca unleashes a Shadow Blast that traps Nor'ac in a small wind tornado. Nor'ac tries to break free but with no luck. Suddenly a blue sphere crashes into the wind tornado, destroying it. Several feet away a Guardian Eatos is hovering in mid-air, but something is different about this Eatos.
It has black wings. The black-winged Eatos has another Aura sphere in his hand. Its target? Sarina. It releases the Aura sphere.
Suddenly from the west a sword comes spinning. The sword collides with the Aura sphere, the sphere is destroyed. Sarina looks up as the sword returns to the creature that threw it. Santerous' Eatos lands and walks over to where everyone is.
I thought you could use some help, Eatos says.
"Thanks," Sarina answers.
No problem, Eatos replies.
Then Eatos sees the black-winged Eatos. The black- winged Eatos throws his sword and Eatos does the same. The swords clash in mid-air. Meanwhile, Finca is having trouble controlling the tornado. Finally Nor'ac breaks free and charges at Finca.
She almost doesn't dodge the white dragon.
"What's going on?" A voice asks.
Tronay? Uria asks within his mind, trying to contact Tronay.
"Right here my Guardian," Tronay says standing just a few feet away. Tronay, Uria roars in pleasure, running over to her.
You heal quickly don't you? Eatos asks.
"I believe that Sundar might have healed her," Sarina says.
"That's correct Sarina and I believe that you need some help," Tronay says. "Uria crush Nor'ac with your fury and teach him a lesson!"
