Chereads / The Runes Of The Phythix / Chapter 4 - A Mission To Save Kelly, And Traveling To Iceleria

Chapter 4 - A Mission To Save Kelly, And Traveling To Iceleria

"This is bad." My Plixie said as she entered the room with her magic. "We need to save them." Natalie said, while clenching her fists. "We need a plan first we can't save them without one."

"Guys?" "What?" Natalie pointed at Kelly, and she was passed out. "Kelly!" Chad ran to Kelly, then started to check if she was hurt. "She's breathing." "Phew that's a relief." Natalie said, as she sat dowm on the couch.

(NATALIE'S POV)

"Can I go out, and get some fresh air?" "No you cannot it's dangerous." "But the Helaria Cult is gone already." "We can't risk any more of us to get taken." "Okay fine." "Let me check how Kelly is doing." Sam's Plixie walked towards Kelly's unconscious body, and places her palm on her chest.

"....." After she placed her palm on her chest it started to glow in the color Black. "....." After a while she then takes her palm off, and the glow disappears. "So?" "Her heart is getting corrupted by Dark Magic."

"What?" "Her heart is turning in her." "Why would it do this?" "Asheron is the strongest in the Helaria cult, and since he was the one to push Kelly across this room, means that he must've pressed dark magic inside her body while doing so."

"How to we get rid of it?" "We first need to get the Ice scepter." "Ice scepter?" "I remember that Sam's plixie told us that it came with the Helaria cult when we released them." "Correct." "Where do we get it from?"

"It's one of Queen Lissandra's sacred collection, it's an ancient artifact that her family passed down for ages, and one day it went missing, and once Queen Lissandra's mother's had perished she made an oath to find the Ice Scepter, and to keep it safe no matter the consequences."

"Where did she find it?" "In the depths of the Twilight Forest." "Twilight Forest?" "It's the location Queen Elizabeth was born, and is also where Morgana was sealed inside the Corruptionix rune."

"Morgana was captured once?" "Yes." "How? Isn't she one of the most powerful in Krystalia?" "She is, but she was very vulnerable at the time. We knew since some of Krystalia's guards stumbled upon Morgana hiding the Ice Scepter underneath the Twilight Forest."

"But aren't guards weaker than Morgana?" "Professor Morgan came with the guards since they were going to decorate for the royal masquerade ball."

"A ball?" "Yes but it's already over now since it was over 16 years ago." "Oh." "How did she escape?" Natalie asked. "The Helaria cult found Morgana's location, and took the chance of the masquerade ball to sneak into the castle dungeon, and set her free."

"Wait then how did the Helaria cult get put in the rune of the Ylimius's Fire?" "When they released Morgana, the traps that the CrownGuards placed for emergencies triggered, and it trapped the Helaria cult inside the rune of the Ylimius's Fire."

"Okay so where is the Ice scepter now?" "From what I can remember it was last seen in Queen Lissandra's bedroom." *SPLURT* We turned around, and saw that Sam spat out the water she was drinking.

"Wh-What?!" "Are we really gonna go there?" Chad asked. "Yes." "But how?" "Now's not the time." Sam's Plixie flew up on top of all of us, and purple dust started to go down at us.

"What's this?" "The portal. Now take care, and goodluck for I will not be with you in this mission." "Wait what then how are we suppo----" ZHHHIINNNGGG! "Goodluck."

SHING! Bright lights started to form infront of us, and then we were transported to a room that after just a few seconds it felt like we were in ice cubes.

"AH!" "*Shivers* Sam do-don't be too loud..." "I..I think I can fix this." "How, Chad?" I asked. "It's litteraly common sense Natalie." "So what is it~~?" "My new power is fire right?" "Well yeah." "So I can turn the temperature down a bit." "Then do it already."

(SAM'S POV)

"But how though?" Mike asked. "I don't know really, but I think I'm just supposed to do th---" SHINNGGGG! Chad suddenly got interrupted by a weird glow on his hands. ZIIINN! "Ugh!" The light became brighter, and brighter, and soon it illuminated the whole room. "What's happening?!" "I-I...Don't...know." SHING!

The light began to disappear, and we all felt warm again. "Woah." Mike said to himself. "Chad?" Natalie asked as she turned around. "Chad?!" We turned around, and Chad was on the floor passed out. "Wh-What do we do?" I asked. "Chad?" Mike said as he tried to wake Chad up. "Mike...It won't work." Natalie said.

"How would you know that?" "Did you even listen to what Sam's Plixie was saying." "Uhm yeah." "She clearly said that Chad shouldn't use his powers since it'll use a lot of his energy, and tire him down." "Oh... uhh I forgot..."

"Let's stop talking, and find a way to help Chad." "How?" "Yeah, how?" BUDGE! "Ugh how could did those Krickers come back again~~" Just then a small blue flying fox entered the room, and we froze. "A-Uhhh.."

"Who are you people?!" "We-we are--" "*Gasp* Pri-prince Mike?" "I uhh.." "Princess Samantha?" "Uhm..." "You two survived!" The fox flew right unto Mike's chest, and then smiled at me. "Uhhh..." "A-are you Winteria?" Mike asked.

"Mhm. How'd you know?" "Uhm well on of your friends told us." "My Plixie." I said as I raised my hand slightly. "Ohh Krystal." "Oh so that's her name." "Mhm." Just then we heard a voice from a distance. "Winteria?!" "Oh no it's Queen Lissandra!"

"Where do we go?" "I uhh...I don't know I'm not good with ideas. Usually Draco thinks of it..." "Draco?" "We don't have time I'll just put a spell on you gu---" "Winteria what's taking you so lo---"

Just then a woman dressed in blue, her hair combined with frozen crystal, and a face of a goddess came in. "Prince Mike, and Princess Samantha?!" She froze instantly in her steps as soon as she saw both me, and Mike.

"You both are alive?" The woman asked. "I uhh.." "Uhm sorry to interrupt, But Chad's still passed out." Natalie said tapping my shoulder. "Is he a friend?" "Yes." "Well then, I shall help you." "Thank you very much." "You're welcome. Now, follow me." She turned around, and led us to a room.

"Winteria please turn on the lights." "As you wish." Winteria started to fly up, and then started circling around the lights on top of the room, and after a few minutes, the lights turned on. "Wow~~" Natalie said as she twirled around the room, scanning the room as well.

"Be careful Natalie you might fall." "I won't Sam don't worry." "Prince Mike you can lay Chad on the bed." "Oh okay." Mike, who was carrying Chad, placed Chad on the bed. "So what now?" "Hmm, well first I need to know why he passed out."

"Well it's a long story." We sat down on the big couches in the room, and then told Queen Lissandra everything that happened from stary to end."

(AFTER EXPLAINING...)

"So he has the Ylimius's fire?" "Yes." "Well, the only way to wake him up is if his Plixie energizes him." "But the problem is...Who is his Plixie?" "Well I heard that the guardian of each runes of the phythix are technically the plixies of whoever gets the power."

"Then who's the guardian of the Ylimius's fire?" "Draco." Winteria said as she flew down, and landed on Mike's shoulder. "So where is he?" "Winteria do you know?" Queen Lissandra asked Winteria. "I heard he was with Locket." "Hmm can you tell him to come here." "Yes your majesty." Winteria flew up again, and the went out the room.

"Who's locket?" Natalie asked. "She's the guardian of the Harmonion rune." "What's the Harmonion rune do." "If you absorb the Harmonion rune's power you will be able to manipulate sound waves, and an ability to strengthen allies."

"Wow~~" "Well anyways what made you, and your friends come to my kingdom?" "Well uhhh...We need something from you."

"And what is it?" "The ice scepter." "The ice scepter? Why would you need one my strongest artifacts?" "Please calm down I know it may come out in a shock but we really need it." "For what use?" "Our friend Kelly was attacked by one of the Helaria cult's member, and her heart is becoming corrupted."

"And?" "We need the ice scepter to cleanse her heart." "Hmm then in that case I will consider lending you the ice scepter then."

"Thank you so much." "You're welcome but you have to return it as soon as you're done with it." "We will." "Well here you go." Queen Lissandra clicks her fingers, and then a blue staff with a very beautiful mark carved unto it. "Wow~~~" I said as I admired the staff.

"I will teleport you three back to this Earth thing that you were talking about now." "Wait but how about Chad?" "I will take care of him, but here take this." Queen Lissandra stood up from the couch, and then gave me a necklace.

"What's this?" "It's the necklace of Iceleria, when you wear it you can communicate to me if you touch it." "Oh okay." "Well anyways go save your friend." "Thank you." "Goodbye." She made us get close to eachother, and then swirled her hand around, and then a blue portal formed on top of us.

"It might hurt a bit but don't worry." "Oh uhh ok——" Just then it sucked us three inside the portal, and we felt pain all over our body.

"OWWW~~~" Natalie kept screaming...And screaming...And screaming...Until we finally fell on the floor in our room. THUD! "OW! My butt!" "Huh?" My plixie turned around, and saw us. "You're back? Where's Chad?" "We'll tell you later, but now we can save Kelly." I said as I showed the scepter.

"Okay well do it now." I looked at Kelly, unconscious on the floor, and then started to wave the scepter around. SSKKKKKKK! SSHHIIINNGGG! Kelly started to float up, and white light started coming out her mouth, eyes, and ears, and soon she opened her eyes slowly... "Gu-guys..?"
