Dark cold place, no light can pass through. The stinky smell and the eerie sound. Screaming voice has been a routine to hear when you are lock up inside a big fish bowl with lots of drain magic chain. Her clothes tear apart showing her thighs and some unwantted places. June groan, she never knew her life is such a trash, her friends abandon her. Her brother hurt her. What tore her apart is the rumors she heard about Railey life force will be drain for the legendary phoenix tears. She need to get out of here.
The chain clinging harsh, June try her best to escape the jail she's in. Her wrist, neck and legs are chain to the glass wall. How she hate her self right now. Chained like an animal, how lowly some people treat her. Tears start to come out, she can't wipe it away with her chained wrist, if only she have Railey by her side she will fell much better. June could hear boots stomping on the ground. She hate that voice.
'Here's your food June'. Zeille step inside the jail and feed her but she wouldn't open her mouth.
'June please open up, you haven't eaten for three days now. Please it's for your own good.'
The truth about Zeille is, he really love June as his beloved little sister and he is doing this for her sake. If she refuses to surrender there's no telling what might happen to the guild, that will not only tore her heart apart but it will tor his too. He knows what June has been through all of them, he knows it all. He knows how June hate to cry infront of people and how June dislike the ones that betray her. He now knows what a pain her past life. Her heart just torn apart toomany times. She can't return to light if she loses one more of her precious friend.
'How dare you! How dare you says that to me with such tone! Do you think I will forgive you! You traitor you.. you...', she can't continue, her body feel shaky, really shaky.
Zeille sigh, what he has done is unforgivable but he never thought June would hold a grudge this bad. He stand up, and walk out. He unlock the rollers underneath the giant fish bowl and pull June out of the dungeon. Along the way June could see many people terrrifed and some maybe crazy, there's a kid clutching her legs and mumbling about something. Some bang the cell wall and say something stupid like I want to go home and kill me. June most unforgetable part is when she sees a child see her mom being beheaded for no reason. That child try to stuggle free, she try so hard but at last the blade cut her mother head.
The blade is stain with innocent people blood. The child sob and scream. Such a horryfiying thing to see for scuh a tiny creature. That can scar her for life. Zeille bring her into a shinny room. In the center June could see Railey locked inside. She look very weak, June move her arm to reach Railey but what a waste.
'Please let my friend go', June say between tears.
From behind the cage a black man with red eyes appear. His smirk never meant good news. The chain around June body clatter and clank, she trying to get some energy inside her so she can break the bones in the guy body but the more she try the more her energy drain away. The man open the curtain behind him and reveal a really big contraption. June gasps, that contraption. She heard rumors about it but she never thought that it exist.
'Did you know what this is?'.
June struggle even more when the man put Railey inside the hole in the center of the machine. 'No! I must stop him!', that was only on her mind. Literally, she can't do anything. With the chain draining her energy and all, she really is useless.
'Stop struggling, that is worthless. If you still struggle I won't guarentee the phoenix will live to see tomorrow'.
June stop imediatley, she can't risk Railey. She won't let anyone gone because of her anymore. Zeille turn June around, this time she could see a large painting of the destruction around the Echantros and what's suprising she herself is in the center. She stand on top of a cliff with lightning and thunder flash from her hand and hit the ground which drain the life out of the living things beneath her.
'Do you know what the painting means?'.
June didn't dare to answer but she knows something bad about to happen her heart speaks so and so far she never miss. Inside she scream for help even though no one would hear her, she still have to try. June close her eyes and scream mentally inside her head. She breath a sigh of relief when she feel someone response but she didn't put much hope in it because that maybe her imagination.
'If you turn side to the dark this will happen'.
The man walks towrads her and open her cell door. He pull up her chin, June could feel the stink breath mix up with her. She struggle even more but this time she could feel the breath right behind her ear. She groan. She wriggle her wrist, maybe this is the time she will escape, but her effort really not working when the man slide his fingers towards her wirst. He has the bad look on his face and June despise it.
'Stop trying and give it up will you, there's no way you will get out of here'.
'Never! I shan't give up! Until I die I will never give up! No I won't'.
'Man, you are a fiesty one aren't you, but I wonder if you will change your mind when I sucked the life form out of your little friend over there?'.
June eyes turn infinite horror, 'No! don't touch her! I beg of you don't touch her'. The man snarl, he put his fingers on top of her lips. His eyes never can never be trusted.
'Listen, here my darling, if you surrender your heart to the dark side I promise you that the bird will not be harm'.
June eyes widen, her brain mashed up wether she should do it or not. From behind she could hear Railey voice but it's faint.
'No, June will never surrender her heart to the dark side'. The man snarl again. He left the cage and walk towards the lever that start the machine.
'You, stupid bird, even if she agree I will still kill you'.
'Like I care you idiot.'
'It's your death wish bird', he smirk and pull the lever down.
Railey look over towards June, she could see her teary eyes. She know what she done will hurt her but June need to live up to her fear and keep going forward. 'Bye, June'.
'Railey!!!'.
Tears start to come even more, her one fear has start to come back.
'Stop!!! please stop!'.
Blinding yellow light flash and covers her eyes. Railey start to disappear into dust little by little. The bird eyes seems calm when she face her doom. It's like she have never regret her decision. June watch in pain as her one true friend disappear into nothing but a grain of dust. In the end a drop of phoenix tear appear.
'Look here, if I weren't mistaken if I drink this I will be invincible right?'. He eyed June, he knows she going to snap, just a little more push will do the trick. The man has an idea he make a lancer appear and stab Zeille on his stomach, as Zeille fall down the man smirk in victory, this probably make the girl snap. He is correct, when June breath heavily, as she see her aniki bleeding. She can't hold the gate anymore. She can't chain the beast anymore.
'NO MORE!!!!!'.
As she scream black and dark purple light swirls aroun her body covering them with darkness and hatred, pain and vain. The chain the once restricted her movement broken into peices. The jar break just by feeling her demonic aura. She step closer towards Zeille and pull the lance away from his belly. She place her hand on the wound, in seconds the wound disappear.
Her body covered with blanket of black only red eyes are seen as she walk closer towards the man. Her anger tells her to kill the man right on the spot. 'Summon, Crystal dark claws', dark crystal like claws appear on top of her fingers. She speed up and stab the man.
'Ugh!', blood spill out and the man fall backwards.
June open the door to Railey cage, she hope what she sees earlier is just an illusion. Unfortunately, Railey wasn't there. The only thing left is a peice of paper with blue ribbon. June pick it up. she opens it and a dust of phoenix magic flew around the room and disappear. June could see Railey flying inside the room with a smile on her face. June feel a little bit calmer and she decide to free all the prisoner inside the place. With one click of her fingers the gate to every known cell open. The prisoners take their leave before the master wakes up. June stand on the balcony, she watched as the moonlight shine the night. She still wrap in darkness, somehow she don't want to return to normal. She feels safe and secure. June was enjoying the peace until the door behind her slam open and a man with a dark phoenix step in.
'Hmmm, you are better than what I can imagine but sadly you can never kill a spirit'. A dark man in cloak state.
June feel dunbfounded when he mention a spirit. She never fought a spirit. Did she?
'What are you talking about? I never fought a spirit?'.
The cloak man smirk. He enjoy as June make a total fool of herself.
'Do you really think you have kill the very master of this palace. I'm sorry but you are wrong. You want to know why? That's because the one you just fought is a spirit from the Echantia.'
The dark man revael something that suprise the skin out of June. The man she just fought, he look unharm but he is chain to a pole with the scar she just made. June start to feel like the dark man want her to do something.
'Just get on with the real thing why you met me here'.
'How about this, follow us and avenge your faith and get your revenge on this cruel world. Join the darkness and I promise the thing you want the most will be yours'.
The blanket of darkness disappear and reavel the unharm June. Her eyes are black. She will never go back on her past, it's time to move on. She step down from the balcony, she have doubt in her heart but she push it far away. What she has witness today has told her a lesson. Those who are weak will never survive, the strong will truimph. The man hold out his hand and June grab it without hesitation. She want to get stronger and revive Railey if she could.
'But on one condition I want to kill that spirit', she growl.
'I'm sorry my dear, you can't have him just yet but when the whole plan works, you can play with him all you want', the man smirk.
'Fine, as long as I can tear him into shred that is good enough for me'. She still has a score to settle with that man.
'Bring Zeille and that spirit along they can have their rewards later'.
June don't want to look back. She is stepping out of this dark cold place and become much stronger, no one can hurt her ever again. She mean no one! Snow start to fall down, how the realm of Echantros fear their doom when the crystal princess has taken her first step into darkness.
