Fairy Hunter (Idol): Chapter 11

The coherent voices of the crowd outside cause a dejavu to a certain silver head. 'Myra? Are you okay?'. Zeirra flail her arms wildly in front of the barmaid. From a stern expression, Myra's face soften slightly, a small smile tugs her lips.

'It's just like the one from three years ago', she murmurs slowly. Zeirra remain quiet, she was not there on the particular date Myra had mention but she knew how the story goes around. In mere minutes, Zeirra couldn't help but smiling foolishly. 'It's the tenth anniversary then.' Myra nods slightly, she crane her neck towards Velery.

'The same ol' Vel. Nothing change since that day'. Zeirra chuckle, Myra has not been this sentimental in awhile. For most of the sentimental part,it goes around her match making self, this one holds much deeper meaning than her wacky self. For Myra, this day holds much deeper emotional feelings to her. Zeirra constant tapping breaks Myra's train of thought. Zeirra peek her eye open. 'We still have a few minutes left before the show started, do you mind telling me again, that story of yours'.

'Sure!', Myra happily said. Not a moment to waste when both girls quickly evade to the most secluded space on the back stage. For most people they will be annoyed to hear the same old story countless time but for the both of them. The very story holds the worst tear jerkier moment ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ringing of the huge bell in the center of the town indicates it's already twelve o'clock. Since there's hardly a movement in the plain Ray and Hono decide to split up in order to cover more ground.The boys have been lounging around the plain for an hour and half, sadly majority of them have encounter some booby traps and had some serious injuries whilst some have nothing to even scrape a wound on their knee. No, none, nothing, nu-uh! For most of the pack, it's some strategy the enemy had set up. For the other half, the plain is ridiculously dangerous. 'Argh!!!! When the heck will the enemy come and get me!!!', Hono shout while messing up his already messy hair.

'Fuhu... That's some weird wish you got', Hono jump, the voice is slow and frail but at the same time it holds a pinch that cause Hono to raise his guard up. Hono slowly turn around, a small girl with violet eyes smile at him. She is short probably a teenager, she have a weird pinkish shawl wrapped around her left and right arm, she also have a high white boots with golden star decorations embedded on them.

'W-Who are you?', Hono mumbles, after a deathly bleached silence. The girl part her lips to say something, but just when Hono digest what she has said. He realize that he is lying on the ground with a massive wound on his torso. 'Shikigami [Reaper]', those words blow past him in seconds. Fast! I couldn't even scream...he mentally shout. Right at the moment, Hono couldn't even muster up energy to speak let alone cry for help.

'It's stupid for you guys to split up. I know you and that water guy can't get along well but splitting up like this..... you guys were dumber than I thought', she scoff. 'Now... It's time for your punishment', the huge scythe that faithfully resides besides her glimmers in vermilion and silver ray vehemently. 'But before I kill you off for good, let me ask you this. Do you have the slightest idea of who I am?', she cooed.

Hono open his mouth slightly, that girl... she couldn't be! 'Ame...ra?',a vicious smile tug the girl's pale lip. 'Please die', she murmurs softly, 'Brother', Hono tear up at the last part. He never thought, not once in a hundred years that his very own flesh and blood will be the one that kill him off. Just when the sickening scythe almost devours his flesh a wave of water hit the girl sending her tumbling off a few meters behind.

'Shoot! I'm late', Ray got a feeling Hono is in trouble, he knows very well the mission is bound to put lives on the line. He fairly knows all of that but rather seeing a small kid dying he would rather feel his arms being reap off. Later that time, all of the group come running towards them. Raila gasps, she hurriedly run towards Hono's side. She get on her knees not really minding the enemy staggering to stand up, right behind her. 'Ra-', Hono couldn't quite finish the sentence when he cough up blood.

'Quiet! I'm focusing here!', both her palms shines violently, to make matter worse. Raila has been using up her powers through out the hour. Hono might had been through the most harmless plain but the others suffer major wounds so conveniently she was there as their healer. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! My power is depleting and his wounds isn't closing up either! Shoot! Curse it all!Tears escape her eyes, have you ever feel weak and useless when you know you could have done something to prevent the happenings. If you does, then you completely understands what Raila is going through.

'T..hat's...e..nough...R...aila...', Hono is touch to see Raile trying her best to heal him. Even so, he could feel his life fleeting away.

'Shut up! I'll do my best! 'll do everything in my power to save you... You are always like that, treasures everyone else's life instead of your own. What kind of leader do you think you are!!! I will never take command form someone who takes their life so lowly. So from here on out, I will not listen to another word you have to utter!!! Understand'. That shut Hono up real good. Thank you... Raila..That was his last words before the darkness devours him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Curse you! How dare you betray your own kind Amera!!!', Metal is infuriated, he stand bravely in front of Raila and Hono. To think their enemy will be one from their clan plus one so close to their leader. How twisted can the Lady be. Lake, didn't say a word, he step up next to Raila and Hono, slowly he creates an anti-magic barrier. A barrier he specialize himself. With this Raila will not be aware of the fight that is about to break out. 'Max, you guys need to step down'. Zeille and Ray is baffled to hear those words, but Ash and Max seems petty cool about it.

'You guys are just kids, you can't fight that psycho girl!', Zeille half whisper. Surprisingly, Amera stood tall like a doll that's lost their strings. Lake wouldn't budge, he step next to Metal. 'I'm not asking. I'm commanding, this fight is not yours it never is, in the first place. For what ever it worth we will take full responsibility.'

'Sure, Make sure you go all out Light', Max casually says. Lake eyes widen.

'You are the guardian of Light are you not?', Lake chuckle. He still have his antics on even at times like this.

Max didn't give the boys permission without thinking a plan through. 'You got something up your sleeve don't you Max'. Ash is neutral, he knows the plan has it risks but he didn't want the kids to whittle their life away this easy. 'Calm down, when push comes to shove. I know you will come out with a plan better than mine. For now, let's observe the fight from the side lines, if they really are at the brink of death we'll jump in and interfere. If that time is not here, then we'll just have to measure how much potential does this guardians have in store for us'.

'Tch, frank as ever. Can you not reveal your plan to others so readily Max', Max eyes him when their conversation comes to a halt. Lightning tore the skies, a sudden gale slam the battlefield as thunders drums. Those natural things occurs meaning that the fight is starting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Velery peer over her shoulder, she thought Myra and Zeirra were gossiping behind her a while back. 'Huh, that's weird, they were suppose to be there a minute ago', June says softly. She has been twirling her hair for a few minutes now, both out of anxiety and habit. Velery was inform about ten minutes ago of how the show will grade each clothing the designers create. And believe her, she has never heard of such ridiculous way to grade any kind of clothing.

'Never mind them. They will be here when the time calls for it. Now, I need you two to do your best on impressing the judges okay'. Right that instance a wave of massive aura spread across the theater for a nano second, it seems that only the three of them are aware of the queer happening.

'Could it be? The fight has begun', Layla murmur softly, her grip on her skirt tighten. She trust her friends with all her heart but she couldn't help but feeling a bit worried about the boys condition especially Hono's. Somewhere deep within her heart she could feel something is not right, it feels like she is losing someone. 'Can you guys, excuse me for a second', June and Velery gives off a worried stare.

'Sure, but make sure that you'll be back here in thirty minutes. We need to go over the plan once more before that show begin. Layla nod slightly as an answer to their question.

'My oh my, it seems like the girl has some kind of hidden talent', a red head says. Velery look over the schedule once more, she scan the names carefully. She tries her best to put her friends in the best and most suitable competition she could find,still she have her doubts. Life is not a bed of roses, she knows that too well. Even if the plan seems to be highly successful, the past will catch up to them and probably cause them default or at least there's no marks given.

Worst, the origin of the judges. She couldn't think of the worst origin other than the ones that is beseech to her right now. Especially one from the Lilac village. This is one hard core competition. Just when she is replaying the plan in her mind, a girl with spiky green hair tap her shoulder. Velery lift up her head a scowl can be seen clearly on her face the minute her gaze lands upon the girl in front of her. 'Serepine. What do you want', Velery lowly hiss.

'Whoa there. Hold your horses. I was just saying hi to an' old competitor. Was that so wrong?'. Serepine grab Velery's hand for a shake but Velery harshly tug it away. To be clear Velery and Serepine never were in a good terms with each other since the occurrence ten years ago.

'Don't act all chummy with me, You know so well that I never wish to see your face ever again'.the crumpled paper in Velery's hands burn slightly, this comes to show how much Velery tries to conceive her anger. The last thing she wants is a commotion right before the show.

Serepine chuckle, 'Hah! It wasn't my fault you choose a demon hybrid as your model. It's essential for the crowd to know her origin. It was your fault for not telling the judges the truth about that monster'.

'Don't you dare call her monster! She is far better than you could ever be!. Do you seriously think I don't know about the things you have done on the stage. Do you even know how much shame she feel that day', this time Velery is at her top patience, she step forward and grab Serepine by her throat. 'Don't get me started on the insults', she hiss lowly. 'For three years she suffer..For WHAT!!! Just because of her origin she was discriminate from the rest of us. How rotten can you be'.

'Vel-chan!', Luckily, June arrive just in time to stop Velery from doing anything stupid.

'Put her down Vel. She is not worth it', Velery let out a ragged breath, shakily she put down the girl. Serapine becomes more amuse to see June in live action. What's more, she is wearing some kind of design for a specific play they are about to do.

'Come on... Don't tell me she's one of your models too.' Seraphine clutch her stomach as she burst out laughing and rolling on the ground. This time, she make so much racket all eyes are on them. Velery grit her teeth,she didn't know whether Serapine is testing her patience, but for certainty Velery will literally rip that girl's throat off if Serapine start to put a damper in Velery's hope of winning like she use to ten years ago.

'From a demon hybrid to a total evil mistress. I got to say you have a knack for someone evil are you not.' June flinch, she never thought anyone would recognize her this quickly. Just their luck, Layla arrive to greet her friends after some refreshing air. Serpine's mouth twisted into a maniacal grin.Oho.. Velery, what have you gotten yourself into?

'Velery Starlight, I wonder how did the management let you enter this competition with this evil witches on board? I mean you not only have a demon spawn, you have an evil destined princess and the one person who almost destroy this whole world too. Who's next? A person who destroy a village?', Serapine just have to jinx her words when Zeirra and Myra comes running back.

'Sorry for stepping out without informing you Velery.' Both Zeirra and Myra are shaken to see Velery ghastly pale while June and Layla are stiff like a lifeless doll without strings to help it walk. 'Hah! Velery you got the worst of the worst models right off the bag. From the most terrified to the most abhor girl of all time. Seriously, are you trying to compete or are you trying to lose?'.

Zeirra unscathed her sword, Serepine is overstepping her bounds way too much. Velery bit her lip,she is doing it again!!!! doubting my choices even before they perform. Then it dawn on Velery, slowly a small smile decorates her face. She step in front of her friends, with a soft voice and a beautiful smile she reply 'I know they might not be the best of the best, probably for the mistakes they had done and their heredity. But I whole heartily believe that they have change for the better. I'm sorry if you see flaws in them, I see something much more valuable instead'.

Serepine bit her lips when her plan have crumble into nothingness. 'Now if you could, please leave. We don't need your insults, not now or ever', the situation infuriated Serepine even more when the people surrounding her clap a hand after Velery's speech. 'Tch! What ever!'. Serepine storm off to who knows where.

'Whoa.. I got to hand it to ya' Velery. I never thought you could handle her with such cool attitude'. Myra butt kissing didn't flatter Velery the least. 'Well, I got a great mentor'. The sound of the show commentator break Velery's train of thought, she shakes her heads a few times before turning towards her friends. 'To begin, we just have to listen carefully for the first set of event.'

Contestant for the night sky theme please step forward

Myra flinched, she didn't expect for herself to be the first one to step up. Her friends are afraid to see the demon literally shaken when the announcement was made. 'Velery.. are you sure you didn't want anyone else to take my place?', Myra ask with a wry smile. She didn't want to stir up trouble but judging by what Serapine said. Myra going first is the worst possible choice there is to make. 

'Myra! Enough of the humble act already, I have told you before I choose you for a reason. Sometimes you need to put away that humble act. The Myra I know is someone who is a block head and very stubborn it will take a whole lot to shake her stand point. I once thought Myra is one of the most invulnerable person there is, she will charge at anything despite the hurdling dangers ahead of her. But I never thought she will be weak under pressure from mere words.' Velery takes a deep breath, her cheek had redden slightly because she tries her best to conceive her anger.

'And I for one was at fault for that', this time Velery voice falter slightly. The determination in her previous tone is now replace with something crest fallen. 'The incident ten years ago was the sole starter of this aren't it.' Myra bit her lip, true.. it was. 'And for that I blame myself day and night. I really wish to give you a second chance. I know that you aren't as bad like they thought you are no matter what breed you come from, on the contrary you are one of the most amazing person I know! I want the community to know that fact, I want everyone to know that you are nice despite your true identity'.

'I never once ask for your help in that', Myra rebuke. This side of her somehow send a shock to every one. Through out Velery heart felt confession Myra head was hung low, and beneath that expression she grit her teeth. 'I'll repeat. I NEVER once beg you to help me in restoring my dignity. If I choose to change what human think of me than that is my choice alone. You as someone who understand others better than anyone else should have known that one should not dwell in someone else's personal in formation'. Velery jump, even thought Myra voice is cold and calm: Velery couldn't help feeling like a huge sword had thrust her chest.

'And for that I forgive you', Velery raise her head, her mouth turns into an 'o' shape. 'I know you mean well but it still inappropriate for you to meddle with such issue. Plus you should have told me sooner about your intentions; thank you for the chance you have given me. I'll do my best. Plus I hope you wouldn't stray too deep again'. Velery slowly nod, Myra give her a gentle smile before waving her friends good bye as she made way towards the beginning platform.

'Oho! We have a demon on this competition. Now this will be interesting', one of the competitor whisper. A massive boom echoes through the huge auditorium indicating the show is starting. Myra let out her breath, she had been holding them for such a long time she herself didn't remember she hold it. Oh! This is bad.... my heart is pounding excessively. Myra balled her fist in order to find comfort, but it is fruitless, she can only hope that she wouldn't be the first one to-

'Let's begin our show!!! The first contestants for this theme is Myra Silverstar from Fairy Hunter!!!'. Myra jerk her eyes open, she could hardly believe her ears. My turn already? ah... this is like out of a frying pan into the fire. Myra rub her face several times before a smile decorates her face. 'Seems like I have to go all out', taking a deep breath she step out into the huge arena with confidence. Gasps erupted from the crowd when they land their eyes on her. Myra looks like an evil mistress alright but there was a tint of elegance and cool in it. The calm but dangerous vibe she set off cause the judges to be stun as she walks slowly towards the runway. In Echantros there are hardly a portion of them that possesses a sliver hair causing the country's mentality saying that those who have silver hair as beautiful. Even though, doctors have recorded that most of them had a severe Marie Antoinette disease.

'Whoa! A promising one right off the bat. Now let's start with the introduction. Here we have Myra Silverstar a bartender in Fairy hunter. Quite skilled in combat, hard working, understanding and the most vital essence of her is she's from the....', there was a moment of silence. Myra turn her head around, what she fear have come true, the commentator is ghastly pale, her body is shaking whilst her lips tremble slightly. 'S-shhhe...'ss', Myra sigh. The commentator is choking her words.


She spread one of her arms out, 'Reality make over', tens of thousands roses erupted from her small palm. It engulfed the whole arena in nanosecond the petals disappears ; the audience could cleary make out her vermilion eyes glistening underneath the darken skies. Myra tap her lips 'Bewitch by what you'll beseech upon', dark magenta light erupted from her palms forcing the audience to shield their eyes. When all eyes are blinded by the massive ocean of roses and the sudden light,some alluring smell pierce their nostrils. When the lights went out in the center Myra stood tall with her bat like wing protruding from her back.  On top of her dozens of trampolines hang in mid air. The audience could hardly believe their eyes. Not one of them expected for such creature to enter their competition.

With one jump she lift her self up from one trampoline to another. At each of the trampoline she'll do either a somersault or a cartwheel. She never use her wings when she jump through all of the hurdles but the minute she reach the top, she reach out for the dangling crystals on both her wings and throw it right at the trampoline. The very trampoline exploded into shards of glasses illuminating the stage with abundance of color, the next one erupted into a massive pile of daisies and dandelions. One after another more thrilling surprises erupted from each of the trampoline. The kids that attend the show is very happy when they got a rain of candy.

Myra fly trough the crowd with the crystals touching the air creating a line of rainbow color glitters. She circle the arena before twirling in the center stage creating a typhoon of glitters. Myra lands on the stage, the arena is bleached silence. Myra sigh, she didn't hope to get an applause why would she dream for an encore. Myra turn around to exit the stage, she didn't wish to stay longer for she already are.

'Onee-san you are awesome!!', a small child chide. Myra is stun to hear the words. She never thought in her whole life a child would say such words to the lowly her. Even though, a few minutes later, the mother of the child tries to hush her down Myra can't help but to feel happy by the attention she receive. Murmurs detonates through out the stadium as she left the main stage. The judges are reluctant to give Myra a single point but by hook or by crook they need to follow the rules and regulation of the competition. No  matter how reluctant they are. To be frank, they are fighting with themselves whether they should to do it or not because the loud applause Myra receive are all from the children, most of them adore her from the minute they land their eyes on her.

Albeit all the applaud she got, the judges somehow are reluctant to give her a fair score. Out of thirty scores, she  manages to scrape off fifteen. Myra enter the back stage with a small smile on her lips, 'I never thought it will be this much fun', she murmurs. Velery is glad that she is able to give Myra another chance. Even so, the scores Myra got didn't soothe her heart the least bit, because she knows there will be more hindrance when the next few models step forwards especially the twins. Little did the fives know, there are someone tailing their every move like a hawk watching it's prey. 'Just so you wait, there will be more of this', the person crackle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The furious battle in between the ex-clan Amera and the two guardians is at it's peak. From the first few minutes, it seems like the duo is winning with their synchronized attack. Lake head out first into thin air, making it hard to see where he is landing. Then, the lightning shook violently causing the scene to illuminates brilliantly. Amera are stunned when the sight hit her, a minute later spikes of iron needle pierce into her flesh. Her face didn't show any pain making the boys wonder wether she have any sensation at all.

'Now!', Metal shout, a nanosecond later tens of thousands lightning hit the girl with high levels of voltage that could lead to fatality even to the most electric invincible creature in Echantros.

'Did we do it?', Lake breath. Using three spells consistently cause him to feel tired out both mentally and physically. Metal smirk 'I thin-', not a moment too soon, a crackle erupted from Amera disfigure body.

'Do you think that puny attack will do? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!. Let me show you the real power of the best', her scythe gleams underneath the pale moon. The little blade ignites thousands of uneasy feeling towards the duo. They are literally shaking from inside out, this kind of magic power is beyond comprehension. 'Release: Endless detonation!'. Within moments both boys are engulfed within a thick black smoke. The smoke limits their vision and somehow absorb all their remaining energy to put up a fight.

'Max! We need to head out now! Those kids can't win!', Ash urge. He now knows that those boy's skill are beyond a kid their age, even so, Amera is in a whole new level. Ash can feel it in his gut, something grotesque is bound to happen sooner or later. Max sigh, he din't like interference because judging by the scene bestow upon him, the boys will win. Just when Ash is getting jittery, a flash of light tore the smokes away, revealing Lake and Metal with their clothes torn apart, battered, gore on hands and feet. Blood are spilling out everywhere from the crook and cranny of their body.

'Hahaha,  that was just a portion of my magic power and look at the two of you... Already breathless?', Amera tilt her head in a violent way.

'Heh, This kind of bruises are nothing compare to what you have done to our leader', Metal boast. True, the wounds are nothing, trust him. The fight are just getting more interesting. With his bloodied hand, Metal slam the grassy ground. Grey incarnation erupted from his hand covering almost half the plain with symbols. The little ground shook wildly and the platonic plates move from each other as if something big force them to have some distance from each other. Abnormal? Not the very least. Not long after the little earthquake. Lake buried his leg inside the soft sand, his mouth move up and down continuously showing that he is ready to cast a spell bigger the the spells he had done before hand. Both boys look very determine cause what they summon next is not what a human head can comprehend easily.

RISE FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH,

THE CREATURE THAT CURSED THE LAND OF ECHANTROS,

RULE THE BARRED LAND ONCE AGAIN,

SEND TERRORS TO THE HEARTS OF HUMANS,

RISE IRON MAIDEN CALAMITY!!!

Right after he summoned the creature, large iron casing in the shape of an overgrown lady rise up, it wasn't one but tens of thousands of them. The casing move towards each other in a speed that matches lightning, as they mash up with one another to create a big casing the envelope not only Amera's entire being but the whole plain excluding the part that Ash and the rest accommodates. .A small smile tug her lips as the case gnaw her body with spikes of iron thrusting her body from inside out. Ash could clearly hear the shredding sound of the case tearing it's victims apart limb by limb.  Ash is certain that Amera couldn't possibly survive from the attack. Not enough of that Lake hasn't begin his attack just yet.

And it seems as if he is ready to do just that. Lightning ignites from every inches of his body creating a lightning barrier all around him.

Hear me cries as I call upon the darkest warrior,

I hereby sacrifice the half of my being in hope to summon,

Lightning strongest beast,

EMERGE FROM THE THOUSANDS CLOUDS,

DRAGON OF LIGHT, IGNERA!

A mighty roar can be heard clearly from the skies, as a lighting made dragon descend down to earth. The dragon didn't stay long. When the inside of the iron maiden protrude from it's icy steel body. Ignera quickly let out a blast of electricity and fried Amera to crisps. After the all out attack, Lake and Metal are too tired to even continue. both of them slump to the ground. 

'Nice', Metal and Lake shivers.

'No it can't be', Metal gasps. Amere stand there with her faithful scythe in her fired hand. Half her face and right leg are torn into nothing. Flesh poke out from every inch of her making her already wounded body even more worse. 'How about we play some game'. She cock her head to the side. Her index finger sway to the sides. 'Tick tock, tick tock, the clock is ticking'. Lake and Metal are mostly baffled to hear those words. A minute after that it struck Lake. 'Raila!', both of them jerk their heads backwards.

His hunch is right when he sees Hono's body shines with incarnation that resembles some kind of clock. With his last remaining energy, Lake dispel the barrier encasing Raila. Just when he was about to warm her, the clock strikes zero.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweats run down her fore head when Hono's body start to glow suddenly. only this time she raise her head. She was taken aback when she sees both Metal and Lake are fighting the so call little sister of Hono. To make matter worse, both their body are bruised so bad she is certain that both of them have seen better days. Right that moment she realize some kind of yellow translucent barrier is engulfing her. 'What the-', she could see Lake flailing his arms whilst chanting something. At the very moment the barrier is put out.

'Run!', is all she could hear before a sudden detonation of a bomb caught her off guard. 

'Raila!!!!!!!', Lake screech, he didn't foresee this kind of occurrence. both Metal and him try their hardest to create as many powers as they can to save her but the odds are against them when they already hit their limits.

Fairy Hunter (Chance): Chapter 21

Zeirra can vividly see a floating chamber heading towards their temple. She must defeat the person in front of her using the swiftest way. Unfortunately,such way never exist without a huge price to pay. 'Now, Zeirra. I told you, you can warp this up using 'that'. What is there to lose 'Princess'.' Zeirra groan, must she reopen the once power she had locked. 'No!', Zeirra said firmly before lashing out to attack the man in front of her. Like before she didn't even manage to reach him before she got thrown away.

'Now, now my dear. Listen to your old dad's word. When I say you must use it. You must!', he spat. Zeirra could feel the tears brimming in her eyes. She must not give in to the temptation. 'Tch! Useless child!', the man pour more mist into the battle ground. This time, Zeirra is bombard with tens of thousands little bomb all around her body. One by one, each time the bombs explode the pain increases. 'Use the damn power!!!!', the man scream yet again. Zeirra didn't answer instead a shrilling cries, echoes through the forest.

'Tch! You are boring. I'll torture your friends instead', the man cease his attacks when he is sure that Zeirra have lost all her consciousness. 'Damn brat. I wish for a good fight, is that too much to ask?'. When the man is about to step away, a frail voice chant something that rings a sweet tune in his ears.

'Equip, Serpent conqueror', from the sole of her feet, black greenish smoke engulf her body. Her pink dress is tainted with green and black, her eyes turn golden and fangs protrude from the side of her mouth. A menacing serpent aura is strangely dissipate around her. 'Hahaha, what are you going to use for payment this time? Your sanity?', Zeirra smirk. She bring out her rose quartz sword.

Take my sword as your bill,
Let me control you in my will,
Lend me strength which I prolonged,
Help me sought my dream for so long.

The swords in her hand dissipate, a scepter with a black snake coiling around it appear. The man smile, he is surprise such power is willing to accept a measly thing like a sword, nevertheless he is thrilled to fight the girl now. This time, he merge a large amount of mist together to increase the pressure. Just when the attack hit, an immense pain erupted from his right hand, a black poison slowly sip through his flesh, burning him from the inside.

'You wish for my power don't you?', Zeirra horrifyingly tilt her head to the side, her eyes are shrewd and a vehement killer smile decorates her face. 'Now, let's have a taste of my serpent powers. It's easy, every time your mist touch me or my body. More poison will enter you body. It'll be fatal for you if you fight me. This is one sided hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!', Zeirra is losing her sanity along side her consciousness. Someone! Help me!.

'Ahahahahhaa! That stupid brat is no more. I'm in control now!!!!!!', the ground erupted with black bubbles floating around them, each bubble is infuse with a poison deathly than before. The serpent girl is bemuse to see the man trembling, wasn't he the one who wish for her current power to be summon, such cowardice is unacceptable. 'You! You wish for me to unlock the past I have buried, you force me to summon my power. You resurface my most inner demon. Now I want you to have a full taste of it. I hope you'll survive', she hiss. With the pluck of her finger, the bubbles exploded making the mist around them turns to black.

The man howl in pain, the poison is too much for his body to take control. Little by little the poison is eating him alive. 'I abhor, those who are weaker than me but think they can toy me around.Time to pay full time'.  The man groan, but a little sly smile still plaster over his face. That cause Zeirra to baffled just a moment, the green mist around her chain her movement both her legs and arms including her neck are chain to the nearest tree. 'Heh! I'll take that', Zeirra squirm to break free, she even injects more poison into the mists that holds her but her doings only amuse her opponent. Zeirra could feel the air being sucked out of her lungs when the man's hand touch her face. 'Give me your power!', he hiss. No! Not again!. Her eyes dilated when an unidentified magic lurks through her brain, stimulating her memories of her past.

Zeirra is floating in an infinite space when a screen so big, it fills the entire place appear, the screen buzz a bit before an image of a girl being call into a chamber of a foreign forest appear.Ah! That's right, this is the time where the power are bestowed upon me. Where my nightmares began.

The little Zeirra jump around in excitement, she is a happy go lucky girl with a cunning mind. That's why she is the chief of her village at a such young age. Her eyes glitters in excitement when the elderly of their village request her presence. To the villagers and herself being call by someone such as that is an honor indeed; for the elderly only request the best from the best. She jump through the busy crowd, but she didn't mind the slightest because she is passing through the peak hour of course the street are fill with bustling people. 

At a young age Zeirra have acquire a strong pair of legs that can run faster that the transportation at the village, that's why she arrive at the elderly place in mere ten minutes. The elderly house is tricky for it's surrounded with thousands of trees, if one did not pay attention they can be lost in the wild forest. Zeirra pat her dress, neatly done her hair for the umpteenth time, and clear her throat. She shakily knock on the door. A hoarse voice answers and open the door. From behind the door, stood a woman in her middle age with a soft kind smile but a dangerous aura around her.

'Could you be Zeirra? The youngest chief for our village?', Zeirra nod vigorously in order to conceal her happiness. 'Come in, come in...', the woman open her door wider. Zeirra is awe stricken to see thousands of lethal weapons hanging around the dilapidated place. 'You know dear child, each one of them bore a deep history both used in good and in evil. Child, I heard you have the stone of a phoenix from the moment you were born.'

Zeirra furrow her eyebrows, her step met a halt. She didn't tell anyone about the crucial matter of the sacred stone. The middle age woman conceal her smile, she is certain that Zeirra is a game changer. 'I have known you from before you were born', that information really shook Zeirra's core. All that she known is her parents abandon her. 'You know my parents?', this time the middle age woman didn't answer, she pull Zeirra slowly by her wrist into a secret hole. At the end a big dark blue cauldron stood with a silver smoke surrounds the small space. 

'I should not bestow such powers to a person so young but I trust your judgement.Let me tell you the origin of this power. Eons ago, blacksmiths had created countless weaponry to serve knights and warriors of all kind. Women were push behind when the matters of war takes commands. But during a silver age, a princess stood mighty with her armor created by the best blacksmith and the best ingredients. Little by little the story of her victory spread through the world, because of that countless princesses raise in order to proclaim their territories. With that, tens of thousands armors were created. When the silver age ends, the armors were stored inside a storage. But each armors grew restless, when their owners dies; for decades they waited but no one inherit them. Many warriors have try their luck but the armors didn't accept their authorities. Because of that the elderly of the magic council collects all of them and transform each and every one of those armors into a magic which one can have. But to equip even one of them requires a special 'Payment' be it your soul, your heart or even your feelings or your most treasure possession. The higher the power is the higher the price. So I deeply advice you to think wisely before equipping even one of them.'

Zeirra mouth hang open, she weren't expecting this kind of power. Sure, it seems fine and all but to have control over thousands of armors, it's just insane even for a kid like her. 'Ummm, I have to refuse on that. I mean..... A kid like me? Controlling such immense powers... It's sounds absurd don't you think?'.

'If I could go against the will of the armors then I wouldn't have called you here'. Zeirra is stunned, the armors call her, now she really is losing her mind. 'I.. uh...', Zeirra mind is in a jam, she's totally blank and have no idea on how to decline the offer. 'You were chosen because you are the last of the family lineage'.

'I'm the last?'. The woman nod slowly, she turn to her back and brought out a list of heredity; there were many people listed but it ends at her. There were suppose to be at least four people around Zeirra's age but the three of them excluding Zeirra herself is smudge. 'You see, the suppose heirs were assassinated, you are the only ones left.' 

'B-But, how should I control them? How should I know when to use them?', Zeirra is visibly shaking, she is a kid which can be consider as always thinks before leaping. The woman pat her shoulder kindly.

'I'll tell you the easiest way to manipulate the armors that have been pass down through out the generations.' The woman tap her head and pat her chest. 'Each judgement must be made according to your mind but always put your heart into it. Don't ever give twisted words a chance to control your judgement for that was the beginning of every fallen leaders.' Zeirra smile slightly, she'll keep that in mind. 'But, do I really have to inherit it now? Can't it wait until I am a bit more mature?'.

'Age matters not when it comes to maturity. For the very least not in your case, Zeirra you have conquer the villagers heart, you lead with brilliance,fairness and kindness. Whether you are old enough did not matter, for you are as responsible as any adult can be'. Zeirra is flatter when the elderly compliments her despite that; she is unable to sniff out the mocking tone the elderly have thrown to her.

'Okay then, I'll take the power if you think I am worthy of having it now albeit I would prefer waiting for about another year or two'.

'Now lets begin!', the old woman dip her hand into the cauldron. When she raise her hand again, weird incarnations of old writings were brought out. The writings then imprint themselves onto Zeirra's body. Surprisingly, no pain can be felt when the armors enter her body.'Wow. That was easy'.

'Now child. Summon the greatest armor, inter-dimensional black fallen warrior armor. This time I suggest you pay them with your consciousness', being an ignorant girl she is, Zeirra summon the very armor the old lady ask of her. A bright light emitted from her eyes.

What will thou pay for the power thou seek?

Thine shall pay thee with the very conscious of thine being.

Very well then.

Zeirra eyes turn half lidded when her past is revealed to her. The continuation of the story is; Zeirra simply have the massive blood bath of her life. In the end she was deceived by the old hag. Her long lost father had made an agreement with the elderly to make Zeirra takes the power in stead of him so he wouldn't be burden by the responsibility he'll gain.

It's always ended up like that. I have no control or whatsoever when I equipped those armor.

For what reason does thou seek strength?

Zeirra raise her head, the words were spit into her face. In front of her stand a being that look like a serpent. It's eyes are for once are warm and kind. The creature once again ask Zeirra the question.Yeah...why did I use the armor again?

Why does thou call thine presence in the midst of a battle?

Zeirra open her mouth to say something but nothing comes out. It seems as if her original zeal had been in tepid waters. She let out a strangled breath, little by little she reminisce the very reason why she call forth this power. Finally, her mind struck something. Tch. It was stupid when I think about it.

I seek your powers for a measly reason,

I wish to stand side by side with my comrades,

I wish to be the strongest there is,

So my friends can rely on me once in a while,

After all I'm the leader, can't let those punks get a head of me,

A leader must be strong physically and mentally,

All of this is for that stupid pride of mine,

I hope you aren't offended.

Surprisingly a serpent can smile, it's not that creepy like those rumors said. 

Thou deem is acknowledge by the serpent,

Thou can wish to use thine when ever thou wish,

Without the price to pay,

Now make haste! Return to your world and fulfill what is undone.

'Gladly', after that, Zeirra gain control of her body. She grasp the man's wrist before flinging him to the other side of the forest. She crack her knuckles. 'Impossible! You should have been drown by the serpent powers. How can a brat like you control such power'.

'Ouch! That hurts man, I got my reasons. Now Let us finish this dance', Zeirra twirl the scepter in her hand. The mist began to gather around her in a big hurling tornado. 'Execute: Serpent's wrath!', the tornado turns menacing. Slowly it began to devour the area surrounds it before engulfing the man in a never ending poison air which concludes fatality. Zeirra pat her shoulders, both of them are stiff. She was fighting for a long time, mind you. Her gaze returns towards the skies. So the final battle have already begun huh... Without a moment to waste, she sprint down towards the main ring, where the real action will take place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ray, is trying his hardest not to run towards the massive sea of human. But he can't bare the thought of leaving June alone to fend for herself in her beat down condition either. June squirm a bit before her eyes flutter open, 'Where am I?', she look around her.

'You okay?', Ray ask whilst towering inches above her face. June face starts to redden bit by bit. She yelps and hurriedly scurried to stand up; she accidentally slams both their fore heads together. After both of them wincing in pain, June breaks the silence. 'Why are you still here?'. She thought with the rising action, Ray would certainly leave her here. Ray scoff, 'Please don't think so ill of people. I can't leave a girl in sickness here alone to fend for herself now can I?', June nearly melt by the smile Ray is giving her if not for the fact that they are in the middle of a war.

'Any how. Can you walk, you seems to be pretty fatigue by the looks of it.'. June pulls a painful smile, she certainly is weak at the current time but she didn't wish to be anyone restrain from joining a battle. Unfortunately, her act didn't go unaware by the boy. 'You are a bad actress you know.' June bit her lip.

'You are as scary like Ash you know', June retort, she knows bringing up the boy's rival will at least brings out a decent conversation between them.

'Don't compare me with such block head!', Ray defend. 'He's a thick headed monster who doesn't know the first thing about being a gentleman'.

June chuckle, they might not get on the same page regarding this topic, 'For me, he's the total opposite. He might not look like a civilize person but in the inside he is more of a gentleman and a gentle person. Ash was just bottling everything up because he was afraid of something but his changes isn't that half bad either'. Ray could see the fondness in June's face when ever she talks about Ash.

'How can you speak like you know him for a long time when the truth is that you didn't met him that long to know him that well'.

'Because I have felt that way a long time ago. But someone save me from that. Onward that point, many have pull me through. That's why I want to do the same with him. I just want him to accept his past faults and move on. I want him to laugh from the bottom of his heart.'

'You truly are a kind person. You always see good in everything that's bad. I hope I can be like you', Ray state gloomily. 

'That's not true. I know you see good in people too Ray. I just know. The fact that you are fighting for someone is good enough.'

'Is it June?', June is left speechless. She decide not to pursue more into the conversation. Even though she isn't fully replenish her stamina. Lying around with the awkward atmosphere isn't her choice either. 'Come on. The guys are waiting', she said firmly. 

'Yeah! Can't let that fire head cleanse everything before me. But are you perfectly sure you are capable of fighting in that state?'.

June scoff 'A mage must always have power in her to fight'.

'Tch! You are more aggressive that you look girl.' June pulls a sly smile, oh... Ray hasn't seen her truly dark side yet. She haven't fully open her torture gate yet. All those negative emotions are waiting to be pour out. And the current occasion is just perfect. Just so you wait. My true fangs has yet to shine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sara groan, the situation is bad, with the lack of remaining warriors they certainly are being corner into a pinch. Cecilia and Metal have just return from their mission and both of them almost at their limit. Zeille on the other hand is yet to finish fighting, Ray and the rest is still on their way towards the battlefield and it will take them sometimes before arriving here. 'Myra! Can you still fight?', the asked girl nod painfully.

Those soldiers keep pouring out one after another, Myra peer over her shoulder, her eyes widen in shock, 'Sara! Look out!'. Sara didn't have time to dodge when the silver sword almost cut her neck if not for the sudden gale than whisk the man away. Sara gasp, she knows this gale anywhere. He's finally here. From the temple, Zeimmi watch how the fight goes, he scratch his chin in a reluctant manner. 'Huh...here I thought my friends are more than capable to handle this soldiers.'

'Zeimmi!', that is the first time ever for Sara to mention the boy's name in relief. His help is more than need to handle these situation. Zeimmi smirk, he jump down from the temple, a gust of whirlwind broke his landing. He looks around, all his friends are battered and bruised. 'Cecilia, can you still muster some water into your attacks?'.

'More than ever!', she cheered. Zeimmi points Cecilia towards the massive amount of people. 'Now let's show them why I was called as the apocalypse', Cecilia broke her face into a devilish grin.

'Come forth! Link power! Drown everything in sight! Tsunami!'. Myra mouth's hangs open, Cecilia measly water starts to grow bigger and bigger as the water approach it's target. 'Wait! Zeimmi's power is natural disaster!!!!!!!! No wonder he never want to take part in any battle.'

'Yeah, but he need assistance when his element doesn't meet the requirement. Like Cecilia', Sara state proudly.

'You ain't half bad either, The white fairy huh... Who would have thought', Metal cuts in.

'Enough jibber jabber. You lot cause me to drag my butt into this mess. Metal! Get you behind here, we have a massive quake to do!!! Everyone else please secure your remaining position! This time we'll pay them hard core!!', Zeimmi shout. With Zeimmi sudden arrival into the battle, Myra somehow feel a bit more high spirited than before.If natural disaster is Zeimmi's true powers than the powers he use to fight Ash was just a mere portion of his current state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Dance of the blades', Blade is having fun slicing both Zeille and traumatizing Velery. She is quite satisfy to see the girl tremble in her place, frozen in fear when the sight is imprinted into her mind. Right now, Blade could feel careless about the survival of that puny girl, especially with the rising action. Tch! I'll just have to kill two birds with one stone. From her point of view, Zeille is fully absorb into the fight, he didn't realize where he is going let alone what he is slashing. Fufufu... I have a brilliant plan. 

Using the opportunity she has, Blade slowly lead Zeille closer to Velery. Like her assumption, Zeille didn't realize the lack of distance between him and Velery. Blade couldn't conceal her smirk, not just because of the sweet sounds of metal clinging but also the sweet sounds of ear pitching scream with a future fill with a massive blood bath. She is close, a few more steps and Velery will take the blow.

'Do you take me for some kind of dolt?', Blade gasps. Her plan fail at the last minute when Zeille's consciousness snapped back. Velery stand tall with golden light surrounding her. On top of her head, Zeille's sword still loyally attach to her light make shield. 'You seriously think, I'm not capable of fighting', Velery spat. Sure, she is trembling and afraid. To be frank, she would rather die then to be in such place, but the burning sensation of vengeance that's burning through her writhing heart becomes her power to stand up and fight. Zeille felt a bit relieve to see Velery up and about, hyped than ever for a fact; he has never see her eyes burns with such vehement aura. Her fear have been washed away when imminent death almost greet her.

'Zeille, will you team up with me?', Velery ask.

'Couldn't ask for more squirt', Velery didn't pay the slightest attention towards that mockery. From her right palm, a ball of golden light appear. she hold it out, 'Decease, ray of light!', the ball could have hit Blade but she manage to evade at the last minute.

'Hah! couldn't ask for a better aim-', before she could continue, the ball of light exploded, blinding everything in her way. With the lack of field vision, Blade didn't manage to sense the attack that comes her way. 'Final phase: Metallic dance!', from beneath the ground,dozens of sharp stalagmites pops up. Impaling her feet thus restraining her movement. The next ones appear, slamming her body to the nearest wall, locking both her arms and legs. Velery didn't feel a bit relieve to see their enemy helpless. She could smell the dirty trick Blade have in her pocket.

'You think you have won huh... If I die! I'll bring both of you with me! Last chaos! Detonation execution!', black writings climbs her body as a black watch count down to their doom. 'Like Luna, My effect is the same. With that Nature guardian out of the way. There's no way you'll win this!!', Blade boast.

'Was your life this low Blade?', Velery hiss. She despise the girl alright, but with her current resolve the feelings have gotten worse. 'What is it that you want to achieve that you whittle your life away!!! What is your goal?!!!', Velery scream. She accidentally inter-connects her mid with every one else's. 'Was your life so pitiful that you are willing to die right away?!!'.

Blade is left speechless, no one have ever said that to her. Plus somehow, the detonation of the bomb is slower. 'Y-You wouldn't understand our burden!!! Our sins!', Blade reply unsure.

'I wouldn't understand! I know you have face hardships harder than I ever do!! But throwing your life away like it's some trash isn't the right way to do it! If you need a shoulder to cry onto you can ask me!! It matters not whether we are enemies or not! If you are struggling to see the light then let me show you the way. Let me help you through the hardship you have to go through. Open your heart please', Velery croaked.

Her friends shed a tear when those words left her mouth, they direct their heads towards the crumbling tower. Velery! In their heart, Velery's words had not yet fail to fuel their soul with resolve stronger than before.

Velery steps closer, the thought of her body explodes into pieces is the last thing she cares about. 'Please, stop this fiasco. Blade.... let me be your friend', she cooed. Just like that, Blade almost drop her beliefs but something at the back of her head screams for her to defy everything that Velery says. 'Kuh!', Velery shudder when she sees Blade trash around, as if fighting something from the inside. Not long after that, she stops. 'Bl-'.

'That's enough!! All of your lies will not deceive me!!! Those low grade lies will never fool me. Open your eyes brat. In this reality there's no one that'll survive as weak, those who are stronger shall rise and those who are weak will die. That's why I willingly lay my life down on a sliver platter, with this lack of power I will not be able to fight anymore. Your stupid words! Your worthless zeal are just nothing but a fleeting dream in this harsh reality!!!! Can't you see it?', Velery bit her lip.

'If that's your wish then I shall not intervene', Velery has never given up on a person like this, somehow there is a black wall encasing Blade's minds and she can't get through. 'But let me assist you in your duty', both Zeille and Blade is baffled to hear her words. The drawings on her body reappear, with her fingers Velery draws a star. Her mouth mumble incoherent words but Zellie is sure that she is muttering some spell.

'Encase: Eternal lock', she said softly. A golden bubble wrap around Blade. When the clock strikes zero the bomb detonate of course. A massive wave of air shook the last sturdy tower to the ground. Zeille manage to grab hold of Velery while hanging of onto dead tree for their lives.

'Let me go', she whispers.

'Are you nuts! You'll die if I let go!', Zeille snap, even so his grasp on the branch will not hold a minute longer. Velery sigh, she hold Zeille's shirt tightly. 'Trust me', Velery push the hands that holds her causing her to fall down onto the earth. But ten meters before she fall down Sara manage to hold her.

'Jeez, could you at least gives me heads up earlier', Sara groan. Velery smirk, upwards Myra helps the guy to land safely on the ground. 'I contacted them earlier. I told you, you need to believe in me', Velery teasingly says. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Zeimmi fighting without a care in the world.Who would have thought, he would fight along side us. I wonder what will he do if he knows what happens to Serene-sama.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Tch! I lost contact with that girl. I must say, those petty humans and spirit certainly have guts to fight towards the end.' Layla turn around, she stop right on top of the battlefield. 'Execute: Nebula over blast! Incinerate everything in sight!!!'.

'Layla! No!!', Mirai trash around to stop his dear sister.

'Stay still will you', Ryan slam his stick on top of Mirai's body causing him to cough up blood. Max and Shikari tries to break free nevertheless their efforts are fruitless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Everyone run for your life!!!!', Sara screech. Every single living human scramble for their life when the humongous laser of dark blue descend from the hovering fortress. 'Find a place to hide! I'll protect you guys!', Sara slam her staff on the ground, white like barrier appear.As reassuring as t sounds, Sara's condition cause the barrier to becomes thinner than it should. Shoot! I can't deflect this one. At least, my friends are safe.

'Sara! Get the hell out of there!', Zeimmi scream. He couldn't loose another one of his precious people. 'Sa-'.

'You got to be kidding me', Velery murmurs. 'Layla, how could you! I'll take you head on!'. This time the writings shines, brighter than before. Zeille takes hold of her wrists just before she head out.

'You ain't going no where. You'll die if you go out there now!'.

'Then would you rather our friends dies?'.

'That's not wh-'.

'I'll come back safe and sound. Just promise me, that you will save Layla. She needs our help', Velery rip her wrist away from Zeille's grasp. With confidence backing her up, she stand side to side with Sara.

FROM THE DARKEST TYRANNY ,

A LIGHT SHALL LEAD THE WAY,

I HUMBLY BESEECH MY POWER,

IN HOPE TO HELP OTHERS!

RELEASE! ETERNAL PROTECTION,

A big golden light dome appear, engulfing all those who is within the targeted area. With ease the dome deflected the ray but it takes a whole lot of energy form the castor. Velery slump into the ground with her head hung low, her ragged breath have shown how much energy she have use to protect her friends.

'Wow... I got to hand it to ya' that's some nice protecting', a familiar voice state. Layla brush aside the smokes with a glance.

'Woe, betide those who dares to defy my way', she snarl. June is shaken to the core when she sees her sister stand inside the fortress, with a menacing glance.

'Ly? What the heck is wrong with you', Ash is baffled to see the destructive force that occurs around the temple. What's more, he is shaken when Layla look down on him disdainfully.

'You didn't come to help me when I needed you', Layla reply coldly. 'None of you did', she spat. 'But a man generously offer me a helping hand when the rest of you push it away'.

'Yes that's right. She is in our side now', after so long Ryan step forward, showing off his hidden face towards the world.

'

Brother..', Ray whimper. All the air in his lungs just got sucked out. He couldn't believe his eyes, even so he isn't the only one who is seeing this.

'Long time no see, Ray'. Ryan shot Ray a murderous look, to him, the title siblings has died a long time ago along side his heart.

Fairy Hunter (Idol):Chapter 10

It has been three day since the whole attack on the kids. Since then, Myra and the rest can only lock them up for the time being. Velery has been anxious to finish her creation and Zeille is there to piss her off. He was saying that it was a matter of loosen up but to the others; it seem otherwise. Myra have seen some of Velery's creation and to be frank, she was awe struck to see all of them. It compliments each and everyone of them perfectly. She knows Velery really love designing from the bottom of her heart and she are willing to do anything to make sure she achieve her dream.

On the fourth day, Myra opens the door slightly ajar. When she knows Velery is either asleep or gone, she open it fully. Her mouth can't help but twist into a smile. Velery is something, but every time she looks at the designs she'll brood over them for days. Now, she have to wear them, some burden she is carrying. 'Myra? What are you doing here?'. Velery take off her hat and muffler. The weather at the place have becomes a little extraordinary these past few days. Especially when snow descend into the ground, apart from Ray no one knows about June's condition.

'Your dresses. They are stunning. Forgive me, you should have been a designer now if it weren't..', Myra couldn't continue, her mouth quiver ever time she remembers about that moment. Velery let out a sigh, her eyes are half lidded, she weren't expecting Myra to be sentimental now of all time. 'Myra I have told you a thousand times before.. It weren't your fault I got drag into this magic shenanigans. It was all a misunderstanding on both our parts.'

'But if it weren't for my fault', having enough of Myra excuses, Velery grab both Myra's arm pushing the girl to face her. 'Myra, stop beating around the bushes. I know you are not concern about this kind of things; it worries you the least. Now tell me what the heck is occupying your mind right now. I have three more designs to get too and I can't stand nonsense at this very hour. Zeille is enough but with you getting on my nerves that's just too much', Velery face redden by the minute. 

'I'm sorry. It's just that I feel unworthy to wear such beautiful clothes after what I had done to you', Velery couldn't help but stifle a laugh. Myra becomes flustered to see Velery's reaction. 'Hey I was being serious here. I mean a hybrid like me being on stage where the whole wide world can see. I don't think it's such a good idea.I'm a demon after all'.

'Are you still brooding about what happens at the cafe, that you are so defiant over this fashion show? Ironic, you were the first ones to get excited in the first place that you literally barge in when I was changing'. Myra blushed at the memory, she is certainly hyper, that morning. 'Plus, it's in my hand who to choose as my model. Apart from that, you are one of my core ones, it will be an apocalypse if you back out now. You wouldn't do that to me now would you?'.

Myra ponders for a while, 'I guess. I'll do my best!', Velery jumps up. She tackle the silver hair girl to the ground with squeals and laughter booming through the petite room. Whilst the two girls are having a good time, there is one more that's feeling a bit crestfallen about the attack. June caress her bandaged throat, she have waited for four days in hope that her voice will come back within the fashion show time but it seems fruitless when she couldn't even muffle a single sound.

She was on the verge of tears yet again but she blink it away when Ash sit right next to her.Guilt written clearly on his face. 'I'm sorry. Even though I have said it many times before but I want to say it again.' June anxiously was her hand from side to side, she didn't want Ash to feel bad. 'June you are a sweetheart you know that. Until your voice is back I will not be at ease'. June try her best to consult the boy but who is she kidding, she feel bad about her throat too. If only Layla weren't such an apple to Ash's eyes this wouldn't have happen. Realizing what she had said, June shakes her head frantically. I can't have these awful thoughts now!!! Even so , June is a human and a human will always does that. It's just she's a darling and never want to even cross that line.

'Hey, we are having a picnic under the tree this afternoon, same place Myra took us five days ago', Ash sounded some what happy when the plans were lay out on him but to June it's just dreadful. She is re-entering the exact place where she didn't even confess her love but was plainly rejected. With all the love left in this world, she beg Myra to left her at the lodge to fend for herself but the stubborn barmaid can never listen to anyone's thought when her mind is made up. June staggers her way up stairs to ready herself with her winter clothes, she walk past Ray but no words were exchange since she can barely talk. Ray per over his shoulder, he is sadden to see June so depress but the awkward situation he and June was put in a few days ago is still fresh in his mind. He just don't have the gut to confront her now, maybe later.

The gang wait patiently for June, she was the last one since it's pretty hard to put on a shirt without wincing every few seconds. After a delay o half and hour, June comes down. Even though she wear her clothes casually, she still looks cute. Half the boy were awe stricken when she pass by. 'June dear, wanna sit here?', Layla ask. June eagerly shakes her head, this time Myra keep the end of her deal. Since they rent a van, Myra arrange the seats to be boys up front and girls at behind. No more scheming for her, at least until the fashion show is over.

'Alright! Everyone! Serve out your lunches we will be having fun', Everyone look baffled to hear Myra's instruction but not long when she brought out a few skating equipment.

'Nice going Myra! This does look fun', Zeirra cheered, she stuff a sandwich into her mouth before snatching a pair of skating shoes and slide her way on the thick slick ice. Not long after, every one were having fun except for Velery who is too busy sketching on her pad and June who just really aren't in the mood for some fun. 'Hey squirt, that's enough. I told you too relax', he snatched the book from Velery grasps.

'You don't get it! I have June's and Layla's clothes to make and I didn't get the designs down just yet! And we need to finish them quick!', she wail while jumping around Zeille in hope to grab back her book, but she was too petite to even reach his shoulders.

'It will come to you eventually. Now, you just need to relax and have some fun', he grin.

'It's not a spur of the moment thing Zeille', she pout.

'Oh really', Zeille turn to June with a menacing eyes. June sweat dropped. What ever Zeille have in mind she wouldn't be able to back out. Zeille is very persuasive when it comes down to this.

'Hey , June you  have a bit of a talent when Ice-skating do you not. Now if you would kindly show her your moves I can guarantee that she will get ideas bombarding into her mind at any seconds now.'June tries her best to kindly deny the gesture but Zeille persuasive attitude is driving her to the edge. Must she bear such persuasiveness alone. 'Hey, June. If I play the violin for you, would you dance?', Layla ask. Now her sister is in to this which makes it more difficult to deny. Finally after fighting with herself for quite sometimes she agree.

Layla unzip her shoes and hand them to June but she shakes her head, instead she touch the soles of her boots and a beautiful pair of ice skates appear. She opens her palms slightly and a beautiful violin appear. 'You want me to use this', June shakes her head immediately.

'What do you mean you' don't have too if you don't wanna, sis'. Of course I'll use it', June face redden when she hears Layla words. The two girls position themselves, June have a cool and determine face whilst Layla have a serene and calming face. When Layla, start playing their friends are awe stricken by both performances. Layla makes the music notes seems as if talking and singing.

June on the other hand, she dance like there's no hindrance in front of her that will stop her graceful gliding. Apart from that, June is dancing as if she is in the midst of a battle but still keep her composure of an ice skating. The part that caught their attention was when Layla start to pick up the pace. June glide across from the other end of the lake like a wind, she them jump and twirl gracefully. In the middle of he twirl she made it looks like as if she was kicking and enemy's butt resulting a gust of slicing wind appear out of nowhere. At least three adult tress were cut down beautifully as the effect of June's attack.

Only when Layla's song ended June return to reality. She sheepishly scratch the back of her head and fork her tongue. Velery jump form her spot to tackle the dancing girl down on the ice. 'Gosh! Both of you are amazing! Now I can't figure out both of your outfit. May work is finally done'.

As night befall them, the gang head home tired and sleepy excluding the boys and Zeirra. Myra just happens to stuck her nose where it doesn't belongs too. Zeirra leads the boys towards their living room after the rest of the girls are in a deep slumber including the kids.

'What have you guys found out about our newest attacker?', Ray throw a piece of paper into the table in between them.

'It's queer to begin with. We are aware about the kids being attack for the core powers they are carrying but for what purpose. That's our question'. Ash butts in when he place a book with a weird carving on the cover.

'The content of this book is ancient and ageless. I can't seem to decipher most of them. The part I can was about four souls combined into one. On top of that there's a symbol that represent a certain kingdom, Do you know the kingdom that bears a pink rose and a dragon symbol?'.

Zeirra opens her mouth to say something when an unknown voice beat her to it. 'It was the kingdom of Floweria', the person said. Myra step down from the ladder, her face serious than ever. 'Tch! Why does all of the calamity that happens seems to be connected with the Floweria kingdom?', Zeirra hiss.

'That kingdom has a wide range of allies including the phoenix. They were their strongest allies. But because of the destruction that occurs in that kingdom, they broke ties with them. Since then, Floweria kingdom stand aloof without any friends but many foes. Because of that, sole reason the kingdom stands no more. I believe there's only one person in this continent that knows very well about the history of that kingdom.'

Myra brought out her phone, she speed dial someone: the was a long ring before the caller on the other side picks up. 'Yeah?'.

'We need you pronto. Bring along some manuscript about the bonds between the Floweria kingdom and the phoenix kingdom. Also, told her that I say hi', after that Myra cut the line. 'She'll be here a day after the whole show thingy. For now, we need to re-strategize our plans. They are going to sniff out this place one way or another.'

'Are you trying to go against the plan which you have set up a few days ago?', Max didn't quiet see the logic in Myra's idea.

'Precisely', Myra simply says. She hates slow takers and she hates to rambles on and on about everything.

'This is just a hunch but I presume you want to use one of the children as a bait to lure out our enemy then bam, we hit them with out full force', Myra nods her head when Ash completely understands her way.

'It's pretty risky don't you think dear Myra', don't get him wrong . Mirai loves the match maker dearly but the plan seems a bit absurd.

'I'm gambling here. We hardly collect enough information about our enemies current whereabouts let alone their aim. If we can get our hands on one of their lackeys, we can squeeze some outta them.And those freaks will only shows up when the kids are around. I'm willing to take a risk. In our current condition we can hardly move to square two'.

Her friends chatters a bit, their face are anxious and wary. The plan is risky. The chance to succeed is against odds but it seems the only reasonable one.

'We can't engage into battle now can we?', Ray seems eager to fight.

'Nope. Challenging them now will only leads to more problems. I got a better one, which I will tell you when I figure it out maybe tomorrow morning. So let's get some shut eye everyone', Myra cheer, she let out a big yawn before kicking everyone into their respective bedrooms. That night, not even a single of them could sleep, they are wondering what the match maker is up too. From the very beginning they never anticipated such happenings will befall them. Zeirra sigh, she take her umpteenth glance at her clock. It's already three in the morning and she did feel the slightest drowsiness. Slowly, she push the duvet on her bed, she ties her hair.

Zeirra pull a strand of her hair to her side. Her long fingers brush through her pinkish mane. In the early days before the whole shenanigan with Ryan, her hair is short but when Mirai interfere she have a little sense to grow back her hair to the way it use too. Am I going back to who I really am? Truth to be told, it's true Mirai was her savior when she was in a pinch all those years ago but there's more to the gruesome story. A story of why she hates her hair to grow longer. Zeirra raise her head, she absent-mindlessly trudge her way to the kitchen. With a painful face she pulls open the refrigerator. She was about to snatch a cola when a hand out of nowhere grab it in her stead. 'Can't sleep?', The person ask.

Zeirra eyes widen, but it wavers after that, 'You should have accepted what had happen. We can do nothing about it now', Mirai state matter of factly.

'I have accepted what happen. I acknowledge the sins I have done. What's more do you want me to do Mirai?'.

Mirai shook his shoulders, 'I don't know. Maybe, put down that cool facade of yours. Zeirra; I seriously thought you have forgotten that tragedy. I thought when you let your hair flows to the moonlight like you use too it was all over. Have I been deceived yet again?'.

'I don't know. Have you?'. Mirai chuckle, he trash his head and crane his neck towards her. A smile decorates his face. 'This sure brings back memories doesn't it', he says after a few moments of silence.
'You were once the chosen ones weren't you Zeirra. The ones like those children, as if I wouldn't know', Zeirra bit her bottom lip. She didn't have the slightest idea why was she rooted to the ground listening to those horrible truth. 'It's good then, but sadly, I left the business years ago'.

'You still have the stone don't you? I suggest. Why don't you train those children on how to properly use it. Princess', Mirai tap Zeirra's shoulders lightly before making his way towards his room. The heck! He took my drink! But that night, Zeirra can finally sleep after the burden on her shoulder have disappear. Nevertheless, the nightmares still awaits her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The day of the performances)

'So Zeirra, are you sure leaving the boys with the kids is a good plans?', Layla question. She, June and Velery couldn't help but feel slightly infuriated when they were inform at the eleventh hour. Zeirra, rub the bridge of her nose, she dust her kimono a little before making her way towards the runway. 'We just have to pray for the best. Put some faith in them. Furthermore, they are more capable of handling those monsters than us', she smile slightly before stepping into the stage.

'Huh, I don't know whether she is cool or just plain air head. She did know the show isn't going to start for another four hour right?', Myra sheepishly state.

'Just let her be, she will come around after a few warming up session or so. In the meantime let's prepare for our show... so wanna construct some plans before we start?', Velery chimed. Her idea is then supported with cheers from the group of girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'It seems they have just started the show', Zeille put down his phone. He sure can be casual after receiving a call from a girl who is hardly blood related to him. Ray open his mouth to start a conversation related to that topic when Zeille raise his hand and gives him off a glare to clam up. 'It's just business professionalism. No romance needed. Furthermore, I think she has her eyes set on some one already', Zeille solemnly state.

'My oh my Zeille, do I hear a sad voice in the end?', Mirai cooed.

'Can it Casanova. Like I say, all the flirting that I had done is merely a simple act. Don't get your butt fusing over something so foolish'. Mirai is already tries to gnaw out Zeille's arms if not for the restriction he receives from Max. 'So, still hitting on June I guess', Mirai cooed. After hearing the assault Zeille spit all the tea he  had drink with a flushed face.

'Damn you are cold. Using Velery to forget about June.' Mirai little mischievous attitude had to perk up and start a little brawl. Let's just say it ended pretty quickly when Max's snap.The kids could only chuckle ever so slightly, they have known the fact that one of them will be use as a bait. Yet, they couldn't decide who to choose despite all the determination they had gain. Ash being a sensitive dude, somehow manage to sniff out the problem. He rub Hono's head with a smile he says 'You guys don't have to do it you know. We could have Uncle Ray here takes your place. I wouldn't mind even if he got blown to pieces'.

Hono is stunned, he couldn't say a word, this is a double edge sword. If one of them is caught, there will be less chance for them to live but if they manage to capture even one of the lackeys it can't be assure that they will crack up. But, he have his resolves now 'Tch! That no good of an uncle wouldn't do it. I'll be the bait. I'm the leader after all'. Ash couldn't help but smile proudly, he might not have the best attitude to be a parent but he likes it when he could at least inspire others.

'Oi! Charcoal brain. Since when you are our leader?', Raila retorts.

'What did you say pit breath! If I weren't all of you babies wouldn't have come crying to me for advice and to give intel!', Burn huff slightly.

'Cut him some slack Raila. He deserve to be a leader once. Even an airhead like him can lead once in a while you know. Once a hundred years that is', Lake simply said before heavenly munching his fries.

'What the heck! Were you complimenting me or insulting me! Which is it, chose!', Hono shout. His hand is clearly burning their table down.

'You are an air head that's for sure and it's not even worth debating', to prove his sentence right the rest of their friends nods their head. Hono have a slight inferiority before Lake continues with his sentence 'But, by any means necessary, you are one heck of a leader. I believe we work better under your commands and your judgement are highly on the spots. Your selflessness persuade others to works under you, your honesty makes them trust you with all their heart. All in all, I couldn't think anyone could replace you as our leader. Plus, it's a one time chance to mock your leader as a dummy with a clown Afro', Lake smirk. He can clearly remembers the like truth or dare they have a few days ago.

Hono is about to burst into one of his raging modes again but he hold it in. A leader should show professionalism after all. 'And by the bay charcoal head, don't go acting like a pro or something. It doesn't suit your mindless brain', Metal reluctantly retort.

'One time you are praising me another you are mocking me! What's wrong with you bipolar people! What did I do to deserve this', Hono breaks down. Well, he might have just over exaggerate, about the bipolar thing. But none of them minded nor did they try to cause a ruckus. For even a child knows the fear of dropping dead to the ground. Ash let out a slow uneven breath, these children have a real certain way to forget about the danger that lies ahead. But he, for once Ash greatest weakness is to accept the thing that have been happening around him.

Every time he tries to put a closer on that, it will come back to him. Haunting him down like a hungry predator. That's also the main reason why he could never forgot the face of the woman who claims his heart. Ash has a good facade of keeping his feelings at bay but frankly speaking he have been bottling them for such a long time one of his friends is bound to found out one way or another.

'Hey, are you sure we should put this good for nothing fire brain into the play?'. Ray seems to have his doubt raise.

'What is it this time water pants?! Now doubting my skill as a true mage?', Ash sneered.

With ease, Ray push aside the comment. He didn't feel slightly aroused to fight, counting his face is serious. 'That's not the point. It's clearly you have a lot on your mind. I doubt you can keep your mind focus through out this operation. If you are more than willing, I'll take you place'.

'No way-', Ray raise his hand to hush him, and for the first time Ash obliged without any snappy comments. 'I will not take no for an answer. If it frighten you than much then you should have rely on others you know. I know I'm your rival but if you need support then I'll gladly give it to you. We are guild mates after all', Ray says with the most straightest face ever. Ray might be a rival to Ash but he has known him long enough to know when his dear friends is in need of help.

'Sheesh, at least create a better face will you', Ash commented. Ray snorted, the rest of the three guys show the two of them an engrossed face. 'Cut the bro-mance will you'.

'What bro-mance?!', they shout in unison.

'Let's put that behind us please. So the target is changing huh? Let me rethink about his. So in stead of the 'father' is Ray whilst in stead of the child is 'Hono', am I correct?', both of the persons mention nod their head.

'Both of you are aware, that any unnecessary interference might cause fatalities right.' That is one line where any human wouldn't want to hear.

'Tch! I'll do my best. Even death is the end of me, I'll do it all the way through', Ray calmly says. True, Ray is sometimes a weird awkward person to handle his feelings let alone others but he is someone who is willing to do his best at anything he do. Guess who thought him that?.

'Let me go over the plan again. At midnight the show will start so the roads will literally be abandon. Don't worry about the men. The girls has set some drugs on each of the homes so none of them will be involved. When the clock dings both of you will go to the field at the back of this town, the rest of us will spread across those pin points so no one will sniff us out. In the mean time, make it look like you two are having fun. I believe that will not be a problem yes?'.

Both of them nods. Raila tap he pocket warily,should I give it to him or not? She was pondering for quite sometimes that she didn't realize her name being call several times by Hono. 'Why are you looking so space out? Hurry it up! We are heading out soon. Clear out your stuff please', before Hono could proceed. Raila tug his arm causing him to edge to her, in a swift move she kiss his cheek while puts something into his pocket. Hono flushed crimson red, he mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'That's for good luck. Don't expect anything more anytime soon', she smile warmly. Hono is totally paralyzed, so paralyzed it took Max to guide him out of the cafe. Max gaze dawns upon the child. Hmm, if Myra is here, she would be overjoyed. 'Hono, are you ready for a life threatening mission?'.

Max's question hit Hono straight in the face. His mouth twisted into a frown and the tension doubled around his area.'I have lay down my lives onto this path the minute I grab those orbs. I have seen countless death been handed to me in a sliver platter this little plan would not faze me the slightest. Furthermore, I'm a leader. I have people looking up to me, I need to show them the path into tomorrow. After all, that's the duty of a leader right!', Hono flash Max a toothy grin before running his way towards Ray.

Those two are the worst mismatched pair but opposites attracts right. Max turn around, the gigantic arena is clearly seen protrude among the little towns. I wonder how's the girl holding up?.  Not only this plan is crazy but switching them at the eleventh hour, Myra certainly have her weird quirks up her sleeve.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Are you sure, this is the best way to ace up this competition Myra?', the girls are hurdled up to converse about their next moves of attack. Velery have design them each clothes specifically according to their talents, she also tell them before hand about thinking of an act to increase their chances of wining. Just when they have the perks of their conversation a monster barge in.

'Why did any of you tell me about the stage?!', Zeirra state out of breath.

'Well, we could poop the party no would you?'. Velery smirk.

'So? How's the warming up for you?'. Myra state with a vicious smile.

'Well, if you count out the pervert men who is constructing the stage then it would be perfect! Oh! count out the guys of those other guild which I beat up because they are picking up a fight. Now let me tell you this, they doesn't have the slightest talent of designing plus their voices are just terrible. I think we can do this with ease'.

'Now,now, don't you go puffing your chest out to everyone because the outcome isn't put out yet. It's too soon to tell whether we are winning or not. There's a possible chance that the tables might turn', June advice.

'There you go again in your niceness. It's a shame your voice is okay for today. If not, you wouldn't have to do a double gig with me today', Layla joked. But behind all that she meant something.

'Let's the show begin. I can only hoped the boys are alright with this sudden change of plans'. All the girls nods their head, they are certainly didn't expect for the worse. It's can be fatal or humiliating but the mages with face all of them head on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Master, those brats have started a move. What will be your response?'. The woman licks her lip, was there nothing her goons can do without her telling them everything. 'I want you to get Grace in her. Tell her this is assassination time. It's time we put her good charm for a use.'

After her goon had left, the girl in command move closer to the desk in front of her. She is currently sitting on an iced chair with a small table and a chess broad in front of her. The opponents chess toys seems to be moving on their own at a random place that is. This chess board is different, using the maps of the entire city, she have seen through their plans even before they start commencing. 'Are you ready for a fight of your life. Myra?', she took of of the pieces and crush it to the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Grace, you have been summon for a work', the guard says. The tall violet girl snap her head around. 'Oh? it's about time', she put down her swords and trudge her way to the main control room. Now, I can show you the true power of a fallen warrior, guardians.
