To say terrena was scared out of her mind would be a terrible understatement, she was terrified, shocked, name it.
Terra wasn't still sure the quick call she did to jason worked, even though she taught him how to counter it, there was a loophole around it. The thought of the prince of feys made her cold, he was legend, born from the fear and deaths he caused during the reign of maximus elixtu,
Said to be the son of herandra, queen of summer and sister of refrot the king of winter, he was the spawn of a terrible taboo, an offspring between siblings, the thought of it made her cringe.
He had the face and beauty of herandra, her glow and smile, but within that smile was the mask of his father refrot, his heart forged of metal and only lives to shed the blood upon the alter of refrot as a tribute to the allied god of darkness dradror.
It was said his mother denied him at birth, casted him down from her kingdom at the root of the tree of wisdom and left him to perish, but refrot seeing the bright future of darkness he had gave him to the dark mages that practiced necromancy, trained and spawned into the killing machine he was.
It was later he found out he was fey, no one knows how, maybe through a distant family gene, but within that he was able to challenge the position from the former prince of feys alectre, a battle to the death.
It was fought at the isle of departed souls and presided over by none other than zaymor himself, after a whole two days of nonstop fight, detox won with a severed head of alectre in his hand,
And then all hell was let lose, the gods couldn't interfere without risking a full out war with refrot and other dark gods, he left pain and anguish in his wake until king maximus and the guardians of nelaf the warriors of peace took him down, he must have been released from the prison during marxis ascension.
She tried to scream but couldn't make a sound, the harp shut her system down with a smile plastered on her face, he smiled devilishly at me,
"Hello damsel, we're going to have a swirl time together" he said,
Jason!, daren, where are you?!!!!
After many minutes of debating how to attack they finally settle for stealth, it took a lot of help from daren to hold jason from rolling down the cliff in anger.
Jason did not understand why he wanted to do that, but it just went against his whole existence to be here,
"Why am I acting like this?" he asked daren as we moved closer to the clearing,
"The bond senses your fears, it responds like this, think of it as a default answer to a threat against your bonded" he said,
Jason kept quiet and moved on, all this was pressuring him, at first, he desperately wanted to remove the mark but now he wanted it on, in order words he was in shambles,
"Jason!!, daren where are you?!!" he heard terra scream in his head,
He cringed physically, jason swore he would murder the bastard, daren looked at him sympathetically,
"Terra again?" He asked,
jason nodded in reply and moved forward, the faster the better, the clearing got closer and closer till they were grasses away from them,
he saw her and the Prince, his dark hair and straight face with a smile that told you never to make a multi-million dollar contract with him.
It took all his will power not to move, he drew her closer and stroked her hair, why wasn't she fighting,
"Heck why is she smiling?!!" he thought angrily,
Daren seemed to notice his look and said “harp”, it was magical, a nice way to trap prey without any trouble,
He kept on touching her as jason swelled with anger and jealousy,
"Hey bro, she's your friend, at least.... I think?" he was so confused right now,
Daren morphed into a wolf and passed the left, he took the right. He felt the blades back in his hands and smiled,
"I missed you both" he thought happily,
With these two at his call, jason couldn't fear a thing, detox hand went down to her waist, his mood immediately soured,
"Oh no you don't" he thought jumping out of the grass,
.
For a minute detok was shocked, enough to give terra time to snap out if her haze, she moved backwards towards my side. He replaced the shock with a smile,"So it is true then?" He said,
"What's true?" I asked warily,
"That the last blood of elixtu is around, I wondered when you'd grow a pair of balls and return" he said,
Jason had to find a way to leave this place, this guy gives him the creeps, asides from the fact that he felt the urge to tear him limb from limb, revulsion and anger at the same time waged a war inside of him.
"Terra?, can you hear me?" he asked her through their bond
"Yes, you've got a plan?" She asked,
"You're the brainiac, I'm the muscle!" jason replied,
he heard her sigh with frustration through the bond, rolling his eyes at her,
"Drama queen" he said,
"I heard that jason!" She replied,
"So, you're her other half, a good pair I might add" detok said,
"What do you want?, a thank you for that?" jason replied,
"Far from that ikir" he sneered,
"She is my offering for refrot and I do not hunt twice" he said,
Jason pushed terra behind him, noticing as she moved towards the bushes,
"Sorry, but she has a date already" jason replied,
"I don't understand what you mean by 'date', but I hope they trained you well on that realm" detok said as his harp transformed into a rod with blades at both ends,
They were silver and glowed under the moon,
"Yetri!" Terra whispered,
The fey prince chuckled dryly,
"I see you know its history and know it has tasted blood of elixtus before" he said,
Anger swirled in jason, he had possibly killed his ancestors and boasted of it, ignoring the fact that he had no reason to get pissed off over some ancestors that he did not know, realizing that ever since he appeared in this land a power had been growing in him, subtly pushing him towards the act of avenging wrongs, but now was not the time to think of such, now he had a prince to beat to stupor.
Jason charged thinking detok would be slow like the rest of the goons he had been laying waste to ever since he got his powers, a bad mistake. Detok turned swiftly blocking his blades with the pole, the blade twisted trying to hack jasons leg as he flipped over,
"Good ikir, but I'm sure you're going to lose at this rate" he said charging,
Jason wasn't given time to attack, he parried and side stepped the barrage of attacks detok sent his way, barely dodging the executioners blade for a few minutes, he was that good. He moved closer shortening the space between himself and detok, soon it began to become evident that detok couldn't wield the blade purposefully and it showed on His face, whatever trick he had used to defeat alectre, it definitely wasn’t pure skill, makes you wonder what was going on.
After a while detok began to slacken due to inability to slice at me and jason kicked him in the groin, he toppled over in pain,
"Works every time" he thought,
Jason kicked the pole from the hand of detok and placed his blades on the neck of the fey prince, he coughed green blood, jason struggled with the thought of killing him, even as pathetic as the supposed fey prince looked in the current situation,
"Jason don't!, he's not worth it!" Terra shouted,
Detok laughed painfully,
"Listen to her little prince" he said and with a kick to his jaw jason left him alone in pains,
Daren trudged out of the bushes, had he been watching the whole thing?,
"You did well Jason, on your own friend" he said,
Jason smiled and nodded turning to terra, she nodded in understanding,
"If you think you're free ikir, you're wrong!, she comes!” detok said,
Jason turned to the sprawled prince,
"Who comes?!" he asked,
"Heregas nightmare!!, the demon of the abyss!!" detok screamed maniacally,
Daren and terra shared looks of horror,
"Okay so whoever's coming is serious right?" jason asked,
"Jason we have to leave now!" Terra said,
He nodded and held her sprinting for the forest when the screams of detox stopped them
he was muttering something, terra seemed to realize what he was saying and screamed at him to stop,
"I have seen you detest the bond ikir" detok started,
"You have spilled the blood of the prince of feys, upon sacred land I make this curse, the bond of love forever unbroken, the more you fight the harder it becomes, till at the end both your bloods are spilled by the other, on the words of the fey I say” detok finished, laughing as daren slammed a punch into his already broken jaw, knocking out the prince.
Jason stared in shock, unable to move but felt terra dragging him away,
”I just got cursed!!!!”
************
DERORA The forest was so grate on her nerves, with the veratus hacking at the vines upfront and the thoughts of the prophecy the woman said, she was beginning to feel boxed in, it was not a feeling she liked, For when she got angsty blood will be spilled They got to a clearing as she was hit by an aura so pure it turned her insides, she had felt it before, an elixtu.Getting down from her reptile and walked to the figure that laid on the floor, the veratus parted ways for her. What she saw wasn't human, it was someone she had to settle a score with, a smile came on her face as she kicked him jolting him back to life, watching as his seemingly dislocated jaw fixed back with a bony click, "If it isn't the detok, prince of the feys" derora said, He looked up and knelt, blood trailed down the side of his head, he spat blood from his mouth,
MARXISAwholeday!Marxis thought furiously,He'd expected derora to drag the unconscious body of the prince through that door, but so far nothing.He paced around the room anxiously, he had nothing to report to herega. Now he heard the prophecy that she'd serve illumino, he had to find a way around it.Thunder rumbled in the distance, he turned in fear to the doors as they swung open forcefully, pain shot through him making him fall and twist in agony,"How dare YOU?!!" Heregas voice screamed, the voice of the goddess vibrating his very being, teeth grit as he tried to withstand the force,Frankly he would have had a better chance withstanding an hurricane,With the force of chaos he was blasted right through a stone pillar, his reinforced body, the only thing to save him.He clenched his hands in anger, is this what he had become?, he who took over the realm in a day, forced
JasonThe veratus charged forwards, jason stood back and slashed at the first, it crumbled in a heap of dust, the second was almost within striking distance when someone dragged him inside the house. The door closed with a thud and he saw terra muttering something, the door shifted and merged with the floor, it grew vines and connected to the walls,"It won't hold for long!" She shouted,"Quick!, follow me!" Taret shouted as they bounded towards the backyard,The sky was moonless giving us the perfect cover, we came out on the streets, bodies of men and women filled the streets, blood leaking from parts of their bodies,We moved quickly through the streets and stood before a building, it looked old,"There's a hidden passage here, it will lead you to the outskirts of the village" Taret said as something whizzed pass jasons face,Taret fell to the ground, his throat had an arrow imbedded in it, terra screamed
JASONThe first ball of fire flew at him from an angry terra, he bent and jumped sideways to avoid it, it blew on the wall sending sparks about. Jason looked at her in shock, what was wrong with her?, daren moved to hold her, she stared at him in anger as he moved backwards,"Sorry jace, on your own " daren said,Jason gave him my best 'are you kidding me' glare, daren just sat on a table and watched, jason turned back to an angry terra, common sense told him he had better try calm her down,"Look terra, I'm sorry for whatever I did" he said as she hurled another ball, jason ducked and rolled to safety,"You don't even know what you did!" She shouted prepping another ball,Wrong choice of words,"Alright, I'm sorry for what I did today!" he replied,Wait!,wrongchoiceagain!jason mentally said to himself as she sent another volley,Okay th
JASON jason stared at the goddess of the moon who just beat the crap out of him in less than a minute, unsurprising seeing as she’s. She definitely looked intimidating, I shifted on the rock I sat, "Is it true you fought derora?" She asked, "If you mean a dark-haired lady with glowing red eyes and a very dark aura then yes" he replied, She chuckled and stood up, her flowing blue attire floating in the breeze, "What did the almighty illummino tell you?" She said with a note of frustration, "That I'm supposed to free Aratia from herega and her disciple" "Did he explain how this is all connected?" She pressed on, "No, what's connected?" he replied, "It's not my place to talk, perhaps when you meet that riffraff aether, he'll explain" she said, She definitely had anger issues and what seems like a grudge towa
Derora He'llpayforthis,theprincewillpayforthis!, Those were the thoughts that went through her head as she summoned another beast from the abyss. With her current state, she shouldn't be risking it, but she had to, it will not be said that she, derora, was defeated by a mere thorn of the elixtus. To open the portal into the abyss was not easy task, one would be contending with malevolent forces that would love nothing more than to grab the soul of the invoker, rip it from their bodies and drag it down into the depths of the abyss where unspeakable horrors would be done on such a soul, but derora was different, she had lived in the abyss, only the real denizens of the abyss would even think of trying
DERORA The sun had began to show its irritating rays when she woke up, darathos flew low and scraped the trees, "Derora,awakearewe?"He said through the link, "Yes,shouldn'thavetakenlongtogettothevillageonair"derora replied while staring at the forests, The trees were getting thinner and she saw signs of smoke in front, the veratus moved quietly through the forests while passing the rays of sunlight, they neither flinched nor burn, whatever she did to them made them stronger. "Wepassedthevillage,noonewasthere,Itracedtheirscentthisway,twoscentsactually,thestrongerwentthisway"darathos said, If what he said was right, then it had to be the scent of the prince and
TERRENA The bath was going fine, till the explosion rocked the building bringing her world down. Terras sight was dizzy, she struggled to stand, grabbing her clothes even though she walked dizzily, cries came from the streets below. She ran to the balcony and saw what they were running from, veratus. Terra looked below, it wasn't a long way down and jumped, she landed with a thud and broke into the inn through the door. It was pure chaos, the veratus were two in number as they slaughtered people, an elf ran to a corner as a veratu raised its blade to kill. What came over her terra never knew, all she knew was that she had slammed the veratu to the wall and stabbed it with her conjured flame blade, why weren't they even burning in the sun?. It squirmed as it burnt, terra turned to the elf, he had gone. She moved her attention to a girl that fought the other veratu, she was good, it had a hard time matching up to her,
