Chapter 39-Felicia's Entrance: Rise of Twin Sisters
{Nor'ac -narrator}
I walk toward the Northern Ridge, my mind on the events of the past few days. First I possess young Tronay Nekita and then I defeat her former Guardian Uria in a duel that she started. Then I go to crush my brother Kesar (or the Leviathan) and instead find that our, mine and Kesar's, younger brother Szar is in the battle and so is my mother Makiar, who I possessed to get myself, and her, here.
Tronay struggles to free her hands from the coils that have wrapped themselves around her body. She pulls at the coils but stops once they don't move.
If I ever get out of here then Nor'ac is going to pay for what he's done, she mutters to herself.
I stop and grasp my head. Eon, my father and the first dragon to use the power of the Orichalcos, has been troubling me ever since he was sealed away inside the Orichalcos crystal that only Kesar knows the location of.
Stay out! I growl as I loose a mental burst of light toward the ripping form of my father.
The pain eases and I pick back up the brisk pace that I was walking in. Soon I reach the Ridge and stop at the highest peak.
'Darkness to darkness, light to light, reveal thy self in this glorious night . . .' I chant.
A few seconds later a green dragon shows up.
What do you want Nor'ac? The dragon growls.
Where is Setara, Thorn? I ask.
Thorn gazes off for a few minutes then returns his attention to me.
She is in the forest nearby, awaiting your presence, Thorn answers.
I turn and walk off to find Setara. I find the green dragon at the edge of a running stream. When I first approach, she doesn't even look up at me. However after a few minutes she looks up.
You've come, she hums, her purple eyes locking with my reddened ones.
As you asked, I reply, lowering my head in respect.
What is that you wish to know? Setara asks.
Where is Felicia? I ask, raising my head back up.
Ah the long lost sister to the Guardian of Shadows! She is not too far off from here but know this, she is related to the son of Mirage, Setara growls.
What! The legendary son of the Guardian of Light and Felicia and Finca are related to him! I cry.
That is correct Nor'ac, you learn quickly, Setara chuckles.
I growl at the remark and turn to walk off.
That reminds me, Szar doesn't know, does he? Setara asks.
Of course not. His memory is still kept from him about that. The only thing he knows is that he ended up in Makiar's care, I answer as I leave Setara and head onward to find Felicia, Finca's lost sister.
Szar stands in the mist of the still raging battle between the Light of Destruction and the ancient magic of the Orichalcos. After dodging an oncoming blast of misguided light by Amia, Szar backs off the field and goes to find Santerous. Silver's loss to Amia and the fact that Sarina couldn't be freed from Silver's actions had proved too much for the Atlantean to bear and as such he mostly stayed in his grayish tent that, along with the others from the Dominion of the Beasts, dominated the dirt-barren hill. Szar halted once he past Tronay Nekita's blue tent. She hadn't been seen for five days now and her two Guardians, Jamie and Arasies, were strangely unconscious.
Szar shook his black head in disgust and continued to advance toward Santerous' tent. When he arrived, Szar halted at the entrance to listen in on what seemed like a argument between Santerous and Meta, his new Guardian.
Meta, the battle is too dangerous for you to get involved in, stay here! Santerous growls.
No Santerous! I can help the battle's outcome! Let me go! Meta snaps.
I said no and that's final! Santerous snarls.
A moment or two of silence.
If you won't let me then I have no choice, Meta growls.
What do you mean no choice? Santerous asks.
Meta roars and Santerous screams and then all becomes silent. Szar rips open the tent's entrance to find Santerous is unconscious and Meta is no where to be found. The black dragon growls and tears the greyish fabric around him with his fangs and claws. Szar halts when he sees Makiar approach.
What is it? Szar growls.
Nor'ac is missing and he's possessed Tronay Nekita! Makiar hisses.
What? Szar snarls.
It's true Szar, Makiar answers.
Szar growls in displeasure and leaps into the air, using his powerful black wings to keep balanced although he isn't flying yet.
Szar growls. Now where is Nor'ac?
Past the Northern Ridge, Makiar growls. Hurry!
Szar nods at Makiar's remark and flies off to find Nor'ac.
Meanwhile, Nor'ac tears through the dense forest as he searches for the dragon known as Felicia, the long lost sister to the well known Guardian of Shadows.
She's around here somewhere, Nor'ac thinks.
That I am, a voice echoes from the nearby lake that Nor'ac has made his way to.
Felicia, correct? I wish to ask you . . . Nor'ac begins but stops once a blast of wind rips across the top of the lake.
That's right Guardian of Dark Light, I'm Felicia! The voice chuckles playfully as a small white dragon rises out of the water.
Nor'ac steps back once he sees her eyes, her reddish eyes that reflect his own.
She can't be related to Finca, her eyes are red but yet Finca's are yellow, Nor'ac thinks.
Surprised by my eye color? You shouldn't be! After all my eye color comes from you! Felicia chuckles.
Nor'ac merely growls at her playful attitude.
If I was like this when I was younger, I would already be dead, he thinks. But then again I am and it's all because of the Guardian of Shadows and the Guardian of Moonlight!
Nor'ac continues to growl under his breathe. Felicia flies over to him and hovers a few feet away, in case he tries to attack. Nor'ac sighs and lowers his head.
I shouldn't have possessed Tronay but without a host I cannot exist here, he mutters.
Perhaps I can help? Felicia suggests.
With what? Nor'ac asks.
I can restore you to our world, Felicia chuckles.
Nor'ac thinks for a second then agrees on it.
Alright but first you must release Tronay from your control, Felicia hums.
Nor'ac does as asked and can soon feel his strength fading away.
Hurry up! He growls.
Felicia closes her eyes and flies back over to the lake and lowers one claw to the top of the water. A strange white light flows through the water and into Nor'ac. The white dragon raises his head , feeling the familiar white scales on his neck and back. He stretches out his wings and roars happily, something he never does.
See I told you I could do it, Felicia hums as she flies over to the white dragon.
Nor'ac gazes at Tronay, who lays face-down on the grassy floor, before turning his attention to Felicia.
I'm impressed, he growls before closing his eyes. Two dragons are coming!
Nor'ac roars as his eyes snap open. He grabs Felicia and dives into a nearby pile of bushes.
