Chapter 22 - Celestial Cry

They finally reach the gates to the city of Celeste the next day.

"We finally here," said Cronus.

"so, how do we open the door?" asked Jecht. Siri sees a sign written in the ancient Dragon language.

"There is a way," said Siri. She walks up to the gate and gets on her knees and starts praying. They watch the gates slowly open.

"Awesome," said Jecht. They head into the City. They look around till they see a sign in the ancient Dragon language. Jecht brings Siri to it and she looks at it.

"There is a place called Celestial Gate," said Siri.

"We should head there if we plan to head up to the Celestial Cry," said Siegfried. They head over to the Celestial Gate. They Enter the Gates and see a portal to the Celestial Cry. They enter the portal.

They arrive at the Celestial Cry.

"Welcome to The Celestial Cry," said Garyx who comes out.

"Garyx give up this. your people would not want this," said Jecht.

"Sorry, young Descendant but I will not stand down here," said Garyx.

You are blinded from the truth," said Jecht. Garyx teleports Siri to him.

"Now, you be able to see the ones who destroy our race, Princess," said Garyx.

"No, my brother or my father would never want this even if they hated humans because it is not just their lives but other races that live there," said Siri.

"Then those other races can blame the humans for their sins," said Garyx. They both teleport away.

"Damn, let's go," said Jecht.

"Yeah, they can't go that far," said Claire. They make their way into the Celestial Cry which is a giant temple a dungeon full of moon beasts and monsters.

At the ritual site on top of the Celestial Cry.

"I don't understand why you persist in helping the humans," said Garyx.

"Because revenge is wrong, I don't want to hurt them for what they have done to my people but now we are free from Kingcardium," said Siri.

"you are a fool even if we are free from the humans doesn't mean we are," said Garyx.

"I won't stand down Garyx," said Siri.

"Then I shall choose for you," said Garyx who holds a Crystal full of dark energy from Dragonia.

"No," said Siri.

Jecht and the others were moving through the dungeons in the Celestial Cry. Jecht and they run forward through the next room when a giant moon creature comes out of nowhere it was like a crocodile but it got twelve eyes on the top of its head and it had a light blue color, a Moondile.

"Out of our way," said Jecht. The Moondile roars at him.

"we have no choice," said Siegfried. The Moondile does a spin to hit them with its tail. They all dodge Jecht climbs the beast back running on his back with the rusty dragon's great sword and slamming it on top of its head. Siegfried transforms in his shadow dragon form and opens a portal and pulls out a Giant Sword big enough for a Dragon to wield.

"Where did you get that?" asked Cronus.

"It was a special request," said Siegfried. Siegfried swings it down at the Moondile cutting it in half, killing it.

"Awesome," said Cronus in amazement. Siegfried puts it back in the portal and transforms it back.

"Let's go," said Siegfried. They keep running through the Celestial Cry. They come across a hallway full of small wolf-like creatures.

"Get out of my way," said Jecht. He breathes a beam of blue light in the hallway blasting the creatures aside. They keep going and running.

"He is getting better at using his powers," thinks Siegfried. "he keeps evolving as we go."
