2024-10-29 19:42:56Elaina’s arms ached as she swung her battle axe at the dark warrior taunting her. Underneath her, her legs felt like jelly.
Despite her best efforts he was getting through her defenses and she wasn’t sure how much longer she could hold out.
Blood ran down her face in waves as her opponent manged to slice a deep gash in her forehead.
“Have you had enough?” He asked now stepping forward sword held high above him.
Gritting her teeth Elaina shook her head in response. She could still hear the sounds of fighting all around, many bodies littered the grounds, but she wasn’t sure if it was dark warriors or light.
Above the sun had begun to disappear behind angry looking black clouds. A loud rumble of thunder caught everyone’s attention.
The dark warrior in front of Elaina looked to her dropping his sword.
Placing two fingers in his mouth he let out a piercing wh

Night had come making everything seem eery as the fire rain continued to fall in the distance. Smoke filled the air around them making it almost impossible to breath properly. After a long debate the elders had agreed that it was best to burn the bodies of the fallen in the proper manner. Elaina stared at the large fire before her, the remnants of dead warriors almost completely gone now. It gave a little warmth to the cold fall evening. She clutched the devils scepter in her hand turning it over and over. Samantha had let her hang onto it for the time being since nobody else could put it to use if the wards that elders spent hours putting up didn’t hold.Elaina stared quietly at the scepters handle, the silver glinting in the fires unholy glow. Each of the black crystals embedded in the handle flashed with energy. The three prongs at the end hummed, begging her to allow it to be released. &nb

Elaina awoke to the blaring white light of the sun. After spending so much time underground her eyes had forgotten how bright it was. The air smelled thick of smoke, but all the fire from the night before had finally ended. Beside her Christopher still slept soundly looking almost peaceful. In the morning light she could see gashes along his face, which had been the source of all the blood on him. Nasty scabs mixed with ash and dirt covered them.Sighing Elaina got up deciding she would go find a first aid kit to try and clean them to see just how bad the damage was. Her muscles screamed at her from her night on the ground. Stretching she tried to loosen them a bit with no luck.Around her people still slept soundly, if it wasn’t for the bandages and soreson them she could almost believe that they had just had a massive campout.Quickening her pace Elaina made her way

Something cold and wet wiped itself along Elaina’s cheek as she began to come to. Pain seared its way through her whole body. Groaning Elaina lifted an arm and tried to ward off whatever was touching her.She felt her hand make contact with something almost as soft as velvet. Eyes flying open she found herself face to face with the creature that had come to her side before she passed out. As she moved her hand along its side a happy chortle escaped its lips. The creature stuck out its long snake like tongue and ran it along Elaina’s cheek.“Stop that.” Elaina sighed trying to shoo the creature away from her.It scuttled back just a little bit its nose twitching as it watched her. She watched it carefully not really sure what to think. Cocking its head to the side the creature took a few tentative steps towards her, only to scuttle back again as the pounding of footsteps mad

Later that evening after the Eastern Warriors had fully settled in a welcome dinner was held in their honor.Elaina hadn't seen Chase since earlier that afternoon, she was almost positive that he had immediately run off to meet with his little fiance.Despite her best efforts to pretend it wasn't bothering her she couldn't help the burning jealousy that was raging through her.Charise who had come to join her and Christopher kept her curious gaze fixed on Elaina as she tried to pretend that she didn't notice."Have you stared enough?" Elaina finally snapped unable to take anymore.Charise laughed, "I'm just wondering when the smoke will come out of your ears." Clearly she was amused at Elaina's expense. "If you're so concerned why not go find him.""Who the hell is concerned?" Elaina growled crossing her arms across her chest. "If anyone is concerned it is you."Beside her Christopher began to laugh

Elaina braced herself as Rathial approached her. She didn't know what exactly it was he wanted with her, but she knew that it couldn't be good."Oh don't look at me like that." Rathial purred as he stopped a mere few inches from Elaina. "I told you before that I have no intention of hurting you.""Then what exactly are you planning?" Elaina demanded trying to step back only to find that her feet and legs wouldn't work. "What did you do to me?"Rathial let out a laugh, "I simply made it where you couldn't try to escape. As for what I want didn't I mention it before? I want you to join me Elaina.""Never." Elaina hissed. The man had to be mad to think that she would ever join his dark army. "I'd rather die."Seeming unphased Rathial looked to the closest frozen warrior. With a snap of his fingers the man disentagrated right before Elaina's eyes."WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" Elaina demanded as she watc

Elaina wasn't sure how much time passed as she remained locked away in her dingy cell. With no windows she couldn't see the passing of the time. It could have been minutes, hours, even days and she wouldn't be aware.The only signs of life she was allowed to see during her stay were the dark warriors that brought her her three meals a day.All alone and having nothing else to do Elaina found herself trying to figure out if she could communicate with her friends or even Elder Zacariah like she had done with Rathial previously. If she wished to ever escape then she had to figure out a way to get to freedom and she wasn't completely sure that she would be able to do it on her own.Closing her eyes she attempted to focus on finding her calm space. Faint light began forming in her mind as she allowed herself to go deeper and deeper before suddenly being ripped from her meditative state by a clawed hand."What do you think you're doing l

The sound of snuffling woke Elaina from her pain filled sleep. Groaning she tried to shoo away whatever it was that was messing with her only to have her hand to connect with a familiar velvetty fur.Eyes flying open she found a Ratize was scuttling around beside her. It chortled happily as she woke before beginning to lick her."How are you here?" She murmured in confusion looking around to see if there was any hole in the wall that she may have missed.Coming up short she eyed the creature that was still happily running its tongue along her skin.Were ratize able to teleport? She couldn't quite remember learning anything about this particular creature. "Are you magical?" She asked it forcing the ratize to pay attention.With a chortle the Ratize disappeared before reappearing before Elaina. Feeling a sudden surge of hope Elaina hugged the creature. "Can you get me out of here?" She asked quickly looking around

"Look over there!" Came a familiar voice through Elaina's warm darkness."No way, it can't be!" Came another as strong arms wrapped around her.Shivering in pain Elaina tried to pry herself free of the embrace. "It hurts." She growled keeping her eyes shut."Oh my gosh!" Gasped another voice, "Look at her back!""What the hell happened?"Despite Elaina's best attempts at getting out of the arms that held her she did not succeed as they tightened their grip."We need to get her back to camp." Came a deep masculine voice that made her heart race.Squinting through one eye Elaina looked up at Chase, only he didn't quite look like Chase. His hair was longer and he had grown a goatee."What..." Elaina's voice came out hoarse as a coughing fit overtook her."Just try to relax." Chase urged quickening his pace."What's going on?" Elaina asked after the coughs ended."That's what I want to ask you." Cha

Six years later....Elaina watched as Carson and Lianna played in the field just beyond the crystal caves entrance. The little boys curly white hair swayed in the soft breeze as he tried with all his might to swipe it out of his face. Beside him his little sister picked a flower and shoved it at his face while giggling. Swatting the flower the boy attempted to try to act tough.Chuckling Elaina limped forward to join her children. After so many years she still couldn't stop herself from looking down at the metal leg she was now sporting and smiling, it was after all a reminder of the greatest victory of her life.Lianna was the first to hear her approach. Turning she locked her big green eyes that resembled Chase's on Elaina before giving a big toothy grin."Mama!" The little girl called jumping up and running to her. "Mama, look what I picked for Carson!"Elaina smiled at her daughter, "I saw i

"You did well child." Ezra's soft voice floated to Elaina as she hovered peacefully in the darkness. "But now is not your time to leave.""What do you mean?" Elaina asked looking around only to find emptiness. "I've already died.""Your human self died." Ezra corrected. "Your dark self has not." He continued."But I'm so tired." Elaina sighed as she felt herself slipping again."Child, I still have something to ask of you." Ezra continued drawing Elaina's attention to him."What's that?" Elaina asked."I need you to lead the underworld now." Ezra said carefully. "With Rathial gone there is no one to take his place, except you of course.""What do you mean?" Elaina demanded. "How could I possibly do something like that? What about my friends and Chase?"Laughing Ezra began to take form as Elaina's darkness turned to the lush green flower field again. Attempting to stand Elaina collapsed,

Rathial snarled at Elaina as she began to move towards him. Behind her lay a pile of dead dark warriors that hadn't been able to hold their own against the infuriated Elaina."So glad to see you coward." Elaina beamed as she continued moving forward. "Thought you'd be safe hiding down here did you?"Feeling her rage building Elaina lunged at Rathial slashing her sword towards his chest. Easily dodging Rathial cackled as Elaina righted herself ready for the next attack."What do you expect to do letting your anger get the best of you?" Rathial taunted. "You came here looking to easily die didn't you."Snapping his fingers he tried to use his power against Elaina, but it didn't work. With her human self gone she was now immune to any and all dark powers, after all she was amongst the dark herself now."That trick won't work on me this time." It was Elaina's turn to laugh.Caught off guard Rathial didn't have

Elaina woke earlier than Chase the next morning. Sounds of people beginning their day could be heard just out in the hallway as she quickly searched for her clothes. After Chase had fallen asleep the night before, Elaina had made a decision and now she planned on setting that choice into action. Fully dressed she looked to Chase once more before quickly rushing out of the room.As Elaina made her way through the bunkard she ignored the glares that she recieved from the few warriors that were roaming about. Their looks of disgust and distrust no longer mattered to her, after all she was leaving this place anyway.Waving she quickened her pace and hurried up the stairs and out into the open air beyond.The sky remained a bloody red above as ash had begun to fall. Taking in the scene Elaina strengthened her resolve. She was no longer going to wait around for Rathial to come to her, instead she was going to go to him.

"What's going on?" Christopher asked as Elaina and Chase entered the room. He had been lounging on his bed reading through a book on mythical creatures when they arrived. "Why is Elaina here?""Are you using that to learn more about yourself?" Elaina asked ignoring Christopher's questions and snatching the book to examine it. "Look up abaasy.""I know." Christopher huffed taking the book back. "Why are you here?""I wanted to talk to her alone." Chase said giving Christopher a pointed look.Taking the hint Christopher grudgingly got up and stomped towards the door. Giving Chase an annoyed glance he walked out slamming the door behind him."Was that really necessary?" Elaina asked keeping her gaze fixed on the door. "Does he not know about your parents?""Not many know." Chase admitted before motioning for Elaina to have a seat. "It happened so long ago that the younger warrior's weren't old enough to

"You should have fought back." Samantha lectured as she worked on patching up Elaina's more severe wounds.As Elaina had insisted earlier most had begun to heal already, at least the ones that weren't so bad. Elaina didn't know if she should be thankful for her new quick healing ability or be sad since it meant that she truly no longer was a human."If I fought back would it make them trust me?" Elaina asked instead catching Samantha off guard."Would you be able to earn their trust if you died?" Samantha countered shoving a stitch through a particularly severe wound on Elaina's shoulder."I can't die again Samantha." Elaina pointed out.Frowning she tried to come to terms with the fact that she couldn't even feel the needle going through her skin, Elaina let out a long breath."You don't know that for sure." Samantha said as she finished her suturing."I'm technically dead." Elaina countered.Samantha stopped what she wa

The crowd gathered around Elaina had grown immensely and had backed her into a wall. Keeping her expression calm she stared ahead waiting to see exactly what these people intended to do to her."You shouldn't look so cocky still monster." The man who had started the whole ordeal bellowed as the group behind him agreed."Pathetic." Elaina hissed. "Picking on a defenseless woman.""I don't see a defenseless woman." The man laughed. "Only a monster."Elaina couldn't help but laugh at the mans words. How was she the monster when all of them were the ones ganging up on her like a bunch of savages?"I need you to move now." Elaina said moving forward. "I need to find Samantha and Oliver.""You have no business with our leaders monster." The man snapped lunging forward ready to fight Elaina.Stepping to the side she allowed the man to topple into the wall she had just been backed against. Not botheri

"Do you truly think you can defeat me?" Rathial laughed as Elaina lunged at him with her trident."Don't underestimate me, you owe me three lives." Elaina growled as a blue ball of energy shot from the end of the trident slamming into Rathial's chest. "You took people that were precious from me!"Elaina could feel the fire within her growing as she spoke of Charisse and her parents. Rage flared deep in her heart as the eletrictiy at the end of her trident crackled and sparked flaring as fire made its way up the staff."What is this?" Rathial demanded eyes widening.Instead of responding Elaina growled moving forward once more slamming the hilt of the Trident into Rathial's gut sending him flying backwards. Jumping on top of him Elaina grabbed hold of his throat and began to squeeze as her need to kill grew."So cute." Rathial coughed cackling as Elaina tightened her grip. "I am not like a normal person that can be killed thi

The next day came in a blaze of red and orange, the sky above had completely lost its blue hue and was left with a red tint as if reflecting all the blood that was being spilt around them. Looking up Elaina squinted her eyes as she spotted what looked like ash beginning to fall."Ash storm?" She murmured holding out a hand and allowing some of the grey substance to land on her palm. "The end is getting nearer."Beside her Chase sucked in a harsh breath, "What did you say?""When the sky turns red and ash begins to fall to the earth, the dark lord will take his rightful place, and the whole world will be rebuilt in chaos." Elaina recited. "Ash is beginning to fall, the sky has turned red, and the earth has begun to break apart. We are running out of time.""Did Ezra give you any advice on what to do?" Chase asked Elaina as his face began to turn pale."We must defeat Rathial." Elaina responded as if it was the simplest thing
