Chereads / The 12th Guardian / Chapter 90 - Word of War

Chapter 90 - Word of War

"Oh, you all are a little too young that you may not know what it is."

[Turah]

"Let me try and explain."

[Turah]

"When our world was initially created the Goddesses and Gods had a connection to a few of us. Not just the Guardians, but chosen people with a strong understanding of essence. These people were able to do marvelous things, such as magic, they were what we know now as the early aged Mage class, but not only that. Some were able to imbue their essence into other things such as weapons and armors. But with enough practice they were able to connect to a different realm. They would spend countless time within this space advancing their skills, studying themselves, and connecting to the Higher Beings themselves. Some were able to communicate openly with them, it is the same type of connection eventually used by the Guardians and now only the Twilight Guardian in order to speak with Elopiah."

[Turah]

"So do you think that Twilight could be speaking with Elopiah?"

[Romina]

"Maybe. The thing is we can't be sure who he is talking to or what. At least until he is awake enough to tell us."

[Turah]

"How long may that take?"

[Naraku]

"It could be a few more hours or it could be a few more days. It all depends on him."

[The Shaman's Apprentice]

"Is there any way we can speed up the process?"

[Naraku]

"Not being within the Space is a delicate thing, think of it like creating a new spell, almost nearly impossible but if done wrong can destroy the user."

 [Turah]

"It is best for us to leave him there."

[Crystal]

"That is fine, we know he is in great care with you Turah and your apprentice, Odira. Let us leave them to it."

[Romina, Gesturing that everyone leave with her]

"So it at least seems like he is in good physical condition, is there anything more you can tell me about your time in the Carnival?"

[Romina]

Catching Romina up to the experience at the Carnival she is shocked to hear about how gruesome of a place they had escaped from. From the Maze all the way to the final battle where Naraku almost lost his leg, Crystal nearly lost all her essence, and Twilight ended up in the state he is in.

"We also met a fortune teller, her name was Valeria. She left a few words for us, 'The head of the island is no longer to the South or North, but to the West. As the Sun fades it can be found to the East. Through the meadow of every changing light you will find the child of both Lightning and Ice.'"

[Nraku]

"Hmm, I am unsure myself, it could mean a number of numerous things. From my recollection, the north is close to the head of Diamon, though I haven't been there since I was a child. As for the East I am unsure. "

[Romina]

"The information you gave us is helpful enough, we will wait for word to return from the Diasoka and then for Twilight to return to our realm and decide from there. "

[Nraku]

Time goes by and Naraku, Crystal, and Obitiga spend most of the time in the village, relaxing, learning new skills, and checking in on Twilight well being. 

L.Y. 651 Muro 28 2:45 L.Q. - The Diamako Village

As dawn approached suddenly a huge creature flew above the village, releasing a package. As it hits the ground it alerts the guards. Calling upon Romina and the elders they open it. Inside it reads:

"We of the Disako Tribe have dealt with outsiders from your clan more than once. We will continue to do so as needed. As for the sacrifices we had to make, we will not be rectifying it with you. For you to have come anywhere near our territories was your misfortune to begin with. Continuing to do so will result in a war between our two tribes."

[Naraku]

"IS THAT ALL THEY HAVE TO SAY! NO FORM OF RESOLUTIONS!"

[Diamonian 3]

"WHY DID WE EVEN BOTHER WITH THE LETTER."

[Diamonian 1]

"THE DEATH OF OUR CHILDREN MUST BE AVENGED!"

[Diamonian 2]

"Can we start considering war now, mother? The people have come to an unrest?"

[Naraku, upset with the villagers]

"We may have to, let us move this meeting to the tent."

[Romina]

"NARAKU! CRYSTAL! OBITIGA! Twilight has awakened."

[Obria]

"You two go ahead and check on him. I will join my mother."

[Naraku]

Entering the tent Obitiga and Crystal walk over to Twilight, helping him sit up and they begin to ask him what exactly happened. Telling them he was unsure as the last thing he knew he was at the Carnival with them. They asked about his episode and he was also unable to explain. Doria interrupts taking Twilights vitals and helping him get resituated they then move on to the next steps of his exam. Returning from his meeting Naraku announces to the others that war will begin. Though they will be first training for a few more weeks. Telling Twilight that his mother was in need of a word with him, Naraku guides him over to her tent. Where they speak in private.

"So young Guardian, as I have been told you have just come out of Space."

[Romina]

"Yes."

[Twilight]

"How did you know, I haven't told any of them?"

 [Romina]

"So what was it like?" 

[Twilight]

"I was told not to talk about it."

 [Romina]

"Did you speak to Elopiah then?"

[Twilight]

"No. So Who connected to you?"

[Romina]

"I was told not to speak, just to let you know that I was training within it."

[Twilight]

"I would love to go into the details but it has definitely awakened something within me."

[Romina]

"Good, we may need it, has my son told you about the battle we have set ahead?" 

[Twilight]

"Yes, he brought it up, at least some of it."

[Romina]

"Then please, go with my son and head to the North and to the East prepare yourselves for the fight ahead of us."

[Twilight]
