As soon as they all heard the same Erie bell like ringing they all looked towards the direction it came from. Hearing the ringing Kai quickly went into action by activating his transcendent ability causing his body to shift and grow out of proportion. With metallic draconic scales appearing on his growing body with two titanium wings appearing soon afterwards on his body. The creature turned over to the other members of the group and opened it reptilian mouth and spoke with ergency in a vague human like voice. " Hurry and get on I know where they are!"
Without a second thought Jet with a dark grim expression plastered on her face, while a small smile crept onto Mordret's face, the two saint's quickly hopped on top of the massive reptile and Effi soon followed after them but not before putting the child she was carrying in a paciluar locket that she was wearing around her neck. And once she was on the gigantic creature soon started to flap its wings up an down as it's body began to life off of the ground into the sky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of a ruined city two figures clash sword's. One was a radiant figure of a woman with radiant white armor and hair that flowed like waves of pure light weilding a bright silver long sword. The other was a dark shadowy figure of a man, and with his presence it seemed as if the light around him was absorbed into his dark onyx like armor and on his face he was wearing a fearsome demonic mask and weilded the blade of a dark odachii in its hands.
The shadowy figure bended it's knees and lunged like a charging bull towards the direction of the radiant woman and swung the blade of the dark odachii in a horizontal slash. Responding in kind the radiant woman raised the silver long sword and swung down to meet the demonic figures blade causing the two figures to meet face to face.
As the two figures faces met mere inches from the others face, there eyes met. The radiant woman's somber cold grey eyes burned with the same radiant white flames covering the womans body, looked at the mask of the demonic figure and stared into the pools of unpenetrable darkness living within the mask's eye sockets. The radiant woman then opened her mouth as if to say something but nothing came out as the words died instantly on the woman's lips as she knew that trying to reason with the demonic figure in front of her was futile.
So she steeled herself and broke off contact with the demonic figures blade by twisting her lower body and using her leg to kick the man in the stomach causing the shadow to stumble away, and promptly jumped back a couple of steps to regain lost momentum, then she braced her legs and charged at the demonic figure in front of her.
The demonic figure stumbled back a few steps and the turned its body in such away that allowed it to give the Shadow enough power in its swing to combat the radiant woman's charge. Seeing this the woman dug her heels stopping her halfway through and proceeded to bend herself back in time barely missing the blade of the dark odachii. Then she raised herself back up and used the momentum to swing in a horizontal manner aiming for the neck of the demonic figure causing him to lean backwards and follow up with a graceful backflip using its body's momentum to successfully striking the radiant woman's pristine beautiful face. Once the dark figures armored leg stuck the radiant woman's face it caused the woman to stumble back a few steps away, and cough up blood.
Seeing the opening the demonic figure summoned a torrent of shadows to take the shape of spears and sent them flying towards the direction of the radiant woman. Noticing the action the radiant woman quickly composed herself and bathed the silver long sword in a sea of white flames and swung the blade doing a full three hundred sixty degree turn destroying the shadows and causing a thunderous boom to echo across the landscape.
But somewhere beneath it all under a large pile of rubble lie a fragile young woman with a patit figure and sprawled out bright yellow which looked like a flowing river of melted gold and upon her face she was wearing a light blue blindfold over her eyes. If there was someone else underneath that pile of ruble with her , they would have noticed the understandably panicked expression painted on the Young girls face, but if they were to see into her mind it would have been another story entirely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moments prior though the Young woman simply appeared underneath the pile of ruble, startled the delicate young woman slowly shifted around under the pile of ruble, she then extended out her hand and began feeling out her environment. Once she got a feel of where she was, she began pressing both of her lips together and then pouted. ' how unfair' the woman internally lampooned.
Then the woman's delicate face scrunched up in complete confusion 'Why the hell did the spell drop me off under a pile of ruble after the third nightmare. But hey the spell wouldnt just dump me in the middle of a pile of ruble, ma ey there's a way out.' she thought in denial has she continued to feel out her area in order to look for an escape. After a while the Young woman stopped and let out and exasperated sigh.' by the dead gods I'm really stuck under hear am I. Mmm if the spell dropped me off here, then maybe nephis or sunless might be close by...' But with that thought the woman's strangely calm and energetic demeanor quickly turned into that of pure horror.
As the woman's expression of horror on her depend, her mouth opened and closed as if trying to say something but no words came from her mouth. If someone was there and was able to read the panicked woman's lips only one word or maybe one name could be read from them. ' Sunless ' That one name continued to echo in the Young woman's mind and her thoughts began racing as she remembered what she had told nephis on the chain breaker. ' n..no don't tell me she actually completed the nightmare before sunny could get to the Estuary of time. No that would've been impossible he left days before the others came back ...'
And as her panicked thoughts continued they were suddenly disturbed when she heard familiar female voice of a woman outside saying in in a strained and exasperated tone " Its because I love you sunless !" when the woman Heard those words she quickly turned her head to where the voice came from and began shifting herself to the vary edge of the pile.' huh? W...was that nephis's voice I just heard right now.... And did she just say I love to sunless. What the hell is going on!!?'
The woman lying under the pile knew that voice well for it belonged to the leader of her cohort and best friend nephis, who was known to have poor communication skills especially when it comes to romance. And now said woman was confessing her feelings in the middle of a warzone talk about poor timing. And what made it worse was that the woman in question continued talking and saying such embarrassing things like wanting to get married, having his kids and a whole slew of other things which in turn made the blonde woman furrow her brows with an expression of complete bewilderment.
But as she continued to listen her embrerasd look was soon replaced by the look of absolute terror on her face as she then heard a loud boom and felt as if she was going to melt . ' Sh ..shit whats going on are they trying to kill each other or something.' As soon as that thought formed in her mind her intuition as a seer all ready knew the answer to that question. So she sent out essence from her body creating a thin needle like string and sent it out to look for the other members of her cohort to help prevent something horrible from happening.
For what felt like hour's she finally found them standing in the middle of a field covered in bloody ice and snow. Just when she was running out of essence the quickly connected the string to an annoyingly handsome young man with alburn hair causing his to space out for a moment. {K...Kai can you hear me!} The woman said through the mental connection. Kai then responded in a hurried yet steady tone{ Cassie? Where are you?} { I'm in the city under a pile of ruble}{ What are you oka...} But before he was finished voiceing out his concerns Cassie interrupted him half way and said ....{ Don't worry about me you can do that once you stop sunny and nephis from killing each other} { Wh...what are you talking about, why would they be trying to kill each other!?} {I...I can't say I'm about to run out of essence so please just come quickly!} { O...okay I'll get there as soon as.....} But before Kai could finish the connection was severed.
As Cassie lied there beneath the ruble with her face begining to sweat torrents of small droplets and her chest slowly going up and down she let out a silent prayer to the dead gods that her cohort would get to her location before anything to drastic happened. She then shifted her body a bit to adjust her position to be a bit more comfortable she then felt it and raised her head as she noticed a shift in the wind and then heard it an erie but beautiful bell like ringing permiate the air around her and that's when she knew it was already to late.
