The Night Before Halloween [Chapter 5 (part 2)]
"They were here!" Reks screamed angrily, "they took her!"
"Now, Reks calm down, they can't have gotten far yet, there are still 15 night of the hallow'ed", replied Andreal consolingly. Reks looked at her, in a spiteful way. I wish i could blame Andreal, BUT IT'S MY FAULT! "Reks, if we want her back safely you will need to calm down, the ridge is a treacherous place! She is going to end up in Elysia if we don't cooperate." Andreal added.
"WE ONLY HAVE 13 HOURS! IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE ENOUGH OF HER DIVINITY THEY WILL DEVOUR HER!" Reks said helplessly. Reks wipes his face and soothed himself, he looked at the crimson red blood oozing from the stained bell, he was crushing in his hand, then threw it on the floor. Eyes filled with determination, heart pounding, blood rushing, staff ready, he stared forward into the distance of the hazy jungle atmosphere and drew a circle of Alexial's blood on his chest. My oath. Reks suddenly began to pace at a fast walking speed, accelerating into a strides, then to jogs, then to sprinting. Andreal not far behind him, uncovered her wings and soared ahead, Reks now having gained enough momentum, took flight. He lifted his jet black wings into the air, flapping them mightily, unleashing a few gusts of air, then suddenly, ROAR! Reks soared ahead, at a sonic velocity. He lifted his staff with difficulty due to the resistance, then swiped it downward. ZIP! A illuminating black aura flowed out of Reks and into the scythe, eventually the aura gathered in the distance, it seemed to beget a large sphere. The sphere had an unnatural feel to it, a deathly presence. I'm coming Alexial. The two rushed into it, the two rushed into the ridge...
"huh.. w-where am i?" Alexial pondered. She suddenly turned red "Why did Reks?"
"He did not" said a mysterious disembodied voice. "It was us"
"BUT I SAW REKS!" She replied persistently.
"It was the only form that you would accept, it was vital that you would cooperate" they added.
"You need me?"
"We need life, your life, the life of a Valkyrie! We have taken part of your life when we contracted your soul point, but that will return, we need more! WE WANT MORE!" The voices began to echoe and repeat themselves, the same words over and over again. The sound reverberating in the black void. The sound of laughter, madness, hunger, screams...
