In the morning, Riku and the others leave the hotel in search of the ancient wizard.as they move through town, they notice that everyone was looking at them.
Wendy said nervously said "Why they are looking at us so scary?"
Kelcie replied "I think they figured out who we really are."
Wendy "How they figured it out that quickly?"
Kelcie "We look diffrent from any other person here, we look so serious especially the ice guy and we move as a group."
Riku gives a horrifying look at Kelcie.
Wendy says sarcastically "Yeah you are right, he is scary."
After some silence, town people approaches Riku and others.
They all start to question them "Are you guys are the group that defeated Hecta?"
Riku says "We done what we needed to do."
After Riku's words all the town people got excited and they started to give presents to them.
Riku says "Thanks for the support but we have to get going."
But Wendy was so happy about it she was giving people autographs.
While they were about to leave they see the kingdoms army.
All the people moves away to make way the to the soldiers.
The commander of the soldiers shouted, " You have received an invitation from the king, we will be honored if you come."
Riku "So, they won't let us go." "sigh" "Remember, we're not here to have fun, we're leaving as fast as we can." and then they'll make their way to the castle. They arrived at the castle in a short time.
When they enter the Castle, The King immediately meets them.
The King's name was Micaron.he was a tall,thin,black-haired,orange-eyed,kind, the gentle young king.
When the King sees riku and the others, he approaches them in an exciting way, shakes their hands and introduces himself.
Wendy says "Nice too meet ya!"
Micaron said, "That honor belongs to me. I have prepared a feast for you today. please follow me."
Riku said "We are not here for fun. I have a couple of questions for you."
Micaron said "We can talk about what you want while we eat."
Wendy "Actually it is not a bad idea. We should check it out."
Micaron says "Thats great, please follow me."
While they were about to ask questions the other group was continuing their search too.
While they were moving Zen suddenly said "Stop!"
Kiroy asks "Whats happening?"
Zen showed the compass,"It shows that he is in this area, we have to continue on foot."
Kiroy said, "Dont forget to tie your horses to the trees."
They continue their search on foot.
They move carefully and slowly because the area they are in is a wooded area.
Gorou said, "How do you know we are going to find our way in this huge forest?"
Zen said "While making preparations I examined a lot of maps and the compass was pointing south before entering this region."
Cuno said, "I can feel the forest filled with black magic."
Lara said "We will not attack until any kind of signal comes, remember that."
Everybody slowly follows Zen.
After walking for a little bit they reach a huge cave entrance.
Gorou says "So, what do we do now?"
Kiroy says "We are going to wait for a signal."
While they were talking they hear a very loud sound coming from the cave.
Kiroy said, "Lara and Cuno come with me, the rest of you stay here, the voice may be nothing."
Zen says "What about the signal?"
Kiroy said, "The plan has changed,we will take him prisoner, if he walks freely like this he can contact someone or regain his power,so we go in, you guys hold the door."
Kiroy, Lara and Cuno enter quickly but quietly.
When they reach deeper into the cave, the environment becomes darker and they feel a different fluid reaching up to their knees.
Lara throws a flaming arrow deeper to get a better view of her surroundings.
Kiroy said: "I had never seen the liquid on the ground before."
Cuno "The liquid state of the curse, Hecta feeds himself on the curse., if it is so much he cannot be powerless."
After walking a while they see a light. They approach the light and they saw Hecta.
Hecta was waiting while sitting on the throne made out of skeletons.
Kiroy approaches Hecta without hesitation and he frozes Hecta's body except his head.
Hecta was not able to move because of the ice, but because his head wasnt freezed, he was able to talk.
Hecta said, "What a big surprise, I didn't know I was so famous."
Kiroy said grinning, "You are funny man arent ya? I guess I'll have to rip that tongue out."
Hecta said, "What are you waiting for? Come on, kill me, you'd be doing me a favor."
Kiroy "We both know I can't do this right now."
Hecta said grinning "Oh yes I remember because of the curse,if you kill me, your friends will be dead with me. your mercy is just disgusting."
Kiroy "I dont want to hear words from a person that has no emotions."
Hecta says grinning "How do you know? Maybe ı do. I'm just kidding I dont have any."
Kiroy gets angry and freezes his head too.
Lara said "So, do we wait now?"
Kiroy said "No, something is weird in here."
Cuno says "Yes, he was the god of death, I dont think he will lost this easily."
Lara said, " something's coming, something big." A large beam from the sky falls towards the cave and a large explosion occurs. the beam hits Hector.
Kiroy hoops through a large and powerful ice to protect himself and those next to him before the beam hits.
No one was able to see anything because of the fog.
Kiroy said, "Are you all right?"
Lara, "We're fine, thanks, but I can't see around."
Hecta was freed from the ice after the beam.
The beam had given Hecta more power than his previous powers.
He gained a incredible power through the beam.
"I can feel it,my strength is increasing, " Hecta said in a thick tone of voice."
Cuno said, "We have to go, He is too strong to fight."
Lara "What's the plan now?"
Kiroy said, "Even if he is very strong,the circle will hold on to him for a short time, try to distract him immediately after the circle is broken, and I will summon the Dragon and we will escape from here."
Hecta approaches the circle, laughing devilishly, "let's see how long this circle will protect you. I can't wait for you to come out of the circle,and when you do, I'm going to tear your hearts out."
Kiroy, Lara and Cuno have their weapons ready, waiting for the circle to break. Hecta comes to the circle with the intention of having fun, punching the circle and saying, "I can feel your fear."
The circle slowly begins to crack.
Hecta continues to punch the circle until one last punch remains to break it. ,
Hecta said, "Are you ready?" when he was about to land the last punch, someone outside started shooting at Hecta. That person was Zen.
Zen was not able to do any harm to Hecta, but thanks to the effect of his bullets, Hecta's surroundings were covered with fog.
Kiroy said, "Now!"and they immediately come out of the circle. Lara and Cuno attacked Hecta.
While Kiroy tried to call for his dragon.
Hecta responds by laughing at incoming attacks.
"You idiots thought you could compete with me."
Kiroy manages to summon his dragon and seals Hecta with huge ice floes around him, saying, "Don't waste any time and get on the damn dragon!"
When he sees everyone riding the Dragon, Kiroy quickly catches up with them and the Dragon takes off.
Hecta gets rid of the ice floes and says, "You can't get away so easily!" and with his power, he holds the Dragon and draws it to himself.
Gorou said, "He is drawing us in, we can't get away without doing something."
Kiroy stands up and says, "You're right, something has to be done or we're all gonna die here."
He held a letter and a necklace in Cuno's hand and said, "Give these to my brother, please."
Gorou said scared "Hey! don't do a stupid move."
Kiroy said, "I'll help you guys escape."
Gorou said "Do not do this, this is suicide!"
Kiroy said "Its better for one person to die than for five and say hello to my dumb litte brother for me will ya?" and jumps from the Dragon.
Everyone yells behind Kiroy with pain in their hearth.
With a smile on his face, Kiroy said with his inner voice, "Forgive me I couldn't be a good elder brother, my stupid little brother. But even a stupid like you can achieve great things. farewell little brother."
Kiroy uses all his power to create his wings from ice. he rains thousands of jagged pieces of ice from the sky towards Hecta, then he uses his weapons to fight back against Hecta with all his might. Hecta was not affected by any of the incoming blows but Kiroy continued to fight.
Hecta said "That's enough." and shooted Kiroy with his dark magic. Kiroy taked a heavy hit.
A big hole opens up in kiroy's chest,blood starts pouring out of his mouth, and he gets down on his knees.
Hecta said, "Look at you, you sacrificed yourself to save them."
Kiroy said, "You can't understand that
Hecta uses his black magic to pull a dagger out of his hand and says, "don't worry, I'll send your little brother to you soon."
"Don't confuse me with him,he's my stupid little brother and, of course, the owner of the legendary purple ice, " kiroy says with a grin.
Hecta said, "I'll be looking forward to seeing that legend."and stabs Kiroy in the heart. Kiroy falls to the ground and closes his eyes.
There was a sorrow and pain in the air. It was getting colder every second.....
