Chapter 3
After the incident, we made a plan for any occasion just in case something like that happened again. We ventured off to the mountains, where Flammis Inferni was last seen. We have to get rid of it before it causes more damage. It was the most violent and hostile out of the five. Eliminate it quickly and surely so that we would have less to worry about.
Since we have no idea what the place looks like, we would have to go there on what humans here use for transport. Axelle called it a "car". It looked boring if I'm gonna be honest, but Axelle said it would be quicker using it that walking so we had no choice.
We've been moving for what seems like hours and it was all silent. I decided that I would break this tense atmosphere and talk. "So.. Since you don't have magic, what do you humans do in this realm?" I asked curiously. "Well, we have this thing called technology and it's the closest we have to magic I guess." I nodded understandingly.
"What kind of abilities do you guys have?" Lucy spoke up, "Aurelie has the power of Aura, She can control any living being by will. Cerys has the ability of manipulation. Aidan can summon anything and control what he summons. I have the ability to change anything!" "Ah, I see. Oh would you look at that, we're here."
We got out of the vehicle and looked at our surroundings. We are in front of a large and dark cave. I sensed that there is a living being inside, but it was asleep. Judging by the creature's Aura, I can say that it is the one we're looking for.
Entering carefully, we found the beast asleep in a nest. It was in deep slumber so we were assured that it would not wake easily. Aiden summoned metal chains from the ground and secured it's legs and wings to make sure it would not escape. I teleported myself on its head and put my one of my hand on the top of its head. Concentrating on what I am doing, I managed to bring everyone's Aura or spirit inside its thoughts. When we arrived, we were greeted with a sight of Tartarus itself. Except everything was on fire. We tried moving from the place we were, but it seems that a force was holding us back. Surprisingly, Cerys could move.
Aiden looked at her in worry but she flashed a grin in return "Don't worry, I can handle my own battles. Besides, I have a score to settle with this thing."
It seemed to calm him down as he let himself relax a bit, but still kept his guard up. We watched her walk away and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
|| WITH CERYS ||
I was transported to this blank empty plane, no light can be seen. After a few seconds of silence, maniacle laughter echoed through the dark void. "Well well well, look at what we have here! Where did all your friends go huh?" it was echoey and I couldn't tell what gender it was. "All alone, poor Cerys. Your so-called 'friends' let you go here by yourself! They don't seem to care about what will happen to you.." It said tauntingly. I growled. "They know well that I can take you on my own. Stop hiding in the shadows and face me you coward!" I yelled into the darkness. "You think you can defeat me? How disgustingly pathetic!" Flammis Inferni transformed into a human like figure, it was all red with yellow eyes. It lifted my head up by the chin and made me look at it. "What can a weak human like you do to eliminate me? Nothing! You're weak! Can't even check her own temper!" It cackles as it harshly pushes me to the ground.
I glared at it. "I am not pathetic, nor am I weak. I don't need immense power to destroy you and your allies." I stood up and looked at it in the eyes, determination showing. It faltered a bit but spoke with the same tone as before. "Your bravery is inspiring, but it will do you no good. You have two options, Leave now and live or come face me and die." I know that I wasn't going to back down now. I stood my ground and it seemed to get what it meant and sighed. "Your funeral."
The surroundings were suddenly turning back to the fiery hell-looking place it was before. Flammis Inferni turned back to its original form and is flapping it's wings, about to charge at me. It let out a war cry and with a powerful flap, a large ball of fire swiftly came towards me. My eyes gleamed a dazzling yellow as I made the attack go to the side, hitting a random volcano. "Is that all you got?" I taunted to make it angrier. I knew I wasn't going to let it move on its own so I outstretched my left arm and made a closing motion, swiftly pulling it towards me. The beast was flung to me and I moved out of the way, making it crash into a waterfall of lava. From where it was standing before, I saw a gleaming gem. It had the element of fire in it. I took out the dream catcher Aris gave me and knew exactly what I had to do. All part of the plan. I ran towards it as fast as I can, but not without getting surrounded by a vortex of black flames. It started closing in on me and burned me a lot before I could use what's left of my strength and pull the gem towards me. Flammis Inferni saw what I was about to do but it was too late, the deed was done. It started shrieking in horror once I grabbed a hold of it. The place was starting to fade away and so did the creature.
A triumphant smirk was present on my face.
"Looks like I beat you after all."
