Quest of the Tower End 2
Rapunzel vines change into metalic emerald ones. She raised her hand towards Evelyn.
"Everything has been over since the time you abandoned me. And now that I finally able to have the life I wanted. No miseries. No hardships. And everything in my power and control. You have the nerve to interfere now witch!" Rapunzel said coldly towards Evelyn.
Evelyn kept her mouth shut. Yes, she is indeed sorry but not for Rapunzel. It is herself, that she hated for being not powerful enough. Because of this her one and only daughter suffered greatly.
Rapunzel's eyes watered and waver when she saw the sad face of Evelyn. But immediately it turned to rage.
"Don't give me that look! I don't need your sympathy! Now die." With the wave of Rapunzel's hand vines sprout again but this time from being green, it changes to being gold and metal. It headed hungrily to Evelyn. Eagerly wanted to devour her.
*Boogsh!*
Everyone in there held their breaths with this turn of events.
"Sister!" Louisa shouted with worry.
Smoke particles covered the hit that's why they can't see if Evelyn got hit or not.
"Now, it's all your turn." Rapunzel looks now back to them.
The golden vines are now heading towards them. Unlike the green ones, they knew that they can't cut these easily.
*Boogsh!*
*Clang!*
Argaux keeps slashing the vines the same as Rei, Paul, and the lizard.
But the vines only become harder and harder to cut as time pass.
It will be only a matter of time before they completely are covered.
"Ah!" Everyone looks when they hear that scream. It's Louisa. She is being dragged by another vine.
"Louisa!" Celene shouted.
*Swoosh!*
Rei immediately cut the vine but it's a wrong move. Louisa was now falling directly below.
Rei without hesitation dived fast. He takes hold of the falling Louisa and switches their position. Rei will be the one to receive the impact when they hit the bottom of spiky vines.
But just before they could hit the vines. It disappears suddenly.
Frea made it in time and catch Rey and Louisa with the carpet.
The other vines are now slowly diminishing.
"Albert, why?" Rapunzel slump down the ground as a hole from Albert's stab could be seen. Her stomach is bleeding. A black void is still lingering behind Albert then it completely closed in.
"The witch is right, Rapunzel. Let's end this fake happiness now. We have done so many horrible things now." Albert said as he looks sadly with Rapunzel's hazy golden eyes. It's very painful to hurt the woman he loves the most.
He knelt down, as he hugged Rapunzel.
"Lucas and Lucia have long been waiting enough for us. Let us go now at their side, my dear wife." Albert said as he hugged Rapunzel firmly.
Hearing this, Rapunzel's long-forgotten emotions burst outside.
"My children. Lucas and Lucia." She remembered clearly the time when they die of their illness.
"Why? Why? Why?" She keeps asking as tears pouring down her eyes.
"We must continue this, they are alive! And if we successfully increase the Tower soul stone, our children will come back with us!" Rapunzel said.
"No! It's been all wrong. The Bureau lied to you. We are already doing this for many decades and the only thing it does to us is eating us up. Our life-force and souls. I have already seen the person I love the most suffering.
The tower seems to feel the faltering and weakening of Rapunzel. And it begins shaking furiously.
From the power it accumulated from many life forms in every event, the tower itself started to have a life on its own. Rapunzel who never wavered before as a host of this event was able to maintain and control the tower. But now, as things escalated into this. She has lost now complete control of the tower. Vines suddenly started emerging again. But this time it only heads towards Rapunzel. It wraps around her body and pulls her out of Albert's embrace.
"Ahhh"
"Rapunzel!"
Before Rapunzel got completely wrapped up by the green vines, it suddenly burns into dust
*Thud* Rapunzel drop on the ground. Albert immediately goes to her.
"I've told you, that life outside the tower is much painful and harsher." Evelyn slowly walks towards them.
"And I'm so sorry that you need to experience all of this "she continued.
The tower began to shake more vigorously.
Evelyn looks at Rei. "I'm sorry young man. But it seems I can't adhere to the plan now."
[Evelyn is commencing Ire of Destruction. It will activate within three minutes ]
[Ire of destruction: 00:02:59]
A blinding light slowly emerged from all over the place.
[Astral time: 00:01:43]
Via silently watched all of this. 'So everything will now come to an end here for this quest.'
Multiple voids appeared behind Rey and the others.
"Evelyn, stop doing this, you'll die!" Rey shouted. He can't move. None of them could. As if, there is a force that holds them firmly in their place. They are just waiting for the void to completely suck them.
"Young man, you have the foresight, right? You know what might possibly happen if the tower completely got out of control. Your world will be destroyed. That's why we must destroy it now"
"Mother."
Evelyn looks at Rapunzel with the most gentle and warm smile.
"Be free. Rapunzel. That is what you wanted the most back then right?"
"Free? I can't now without my daughter and son. And I don't even have the right to face them in the afterlife" Rapunzel looks downcast.
"Lucia and Lucas are not dead. They are just sleeping and waiting for you. If you go with that young man, you will find them."
"What are you spea..." The void completely absorbed Rapunzel before she could finish her words. Albert gave a grateful nod to Evelyn before he got completely absorbed too.
"Young man, I will leave the rest to you. You could have this." Evelyn said as she throws her mother's bracelet at Rey. Rey caught it as he looks sideways clearly dejected.
"Don't die." Those are the two words that only came out of Rey's mouth before he got completely absorbed in the void.
"Sister!" Louisa cried before she could be sucked up too. And the others too completely vanished.
Now, only Evelyn remains, everything was reverting back from the white space to the old room. Evelyn then speaks in a calm voice.
"How long will you continue to watched, the tower will now be destroyed?"
Via was completely surprised when Evelyn speaks. 'Is she talking to me?
[Astral time: 00:043:00] 'I have 43 seconds before my astrality wears off.
"I can't see you but I could completely felt that someone is observing us from the beginning." Evelyn calmly speaks.
But then just before Via could open her mouth,
"As expected of one of the most powerful sorcerers in the 'Fairyland" A deep voice of a man echoed all over the place.
"One of the zodiacs of the Bureau, what a pleasure you came here Radas, the dog."
"Did she just say Radas?" Oh shit so this is what happened after Rey and the others got transported back by Evelyn on Earth. Evelyn met one of the heads of the Bureau.' Via said as she looks at the time of her astral. Only twenty seconds left.
"I've come here to get those children," Radas said as he looked at the two sleeping kids Rio and Rea. Evelyn was surprised to see that there are still people there.
'Oh boy.' Via now immediately heads to the kids.
"Do you think I'll let you do as you wish?" Evelyn said as a void appears above Rio and Really but it completely disappear in a second.
"It seems to me you exhaust all of your power with that destructive power and all the other transportation you've done before," Radas said with a snickered.
Evelyn clenched her fist. She can't stop the huge accumulated violet energy orb above her. What will she do? This becomes out of her hands again.
"Evelyn, I have a plan. I would not let the kids get abducted and you to be reduced to waste."
Via said. Indeed, Evelyn survived after this. But because of this, she becomes crippled with no magic a power anymore. She can't let that happen.
A Rampulstilskin thread was now tied in both Rio and Rea's hands.
"I have another item with me. The rampion Rey has is with me. If you eat that, you would have enough power to get us all out here." Via said. Yep, during their fight with Albert, Via gets a chance to steal the Rampion on Rey. How? Don't ask now. Via will explain everything at the right time.
"Give it to me," Evelyn said without question asked. The small rampion appeared on her and she immediately takes a bite of it. The sweet fresh taste of its leaves assaulted her tongue and then she could feel a surge of energy brimming inside her body. Her lost powers were now coming back.
She will now be able to complete the Ire of Destruction without repercussions and definitely created a void to let everyone escape before the tower exploded.
"Let's get out of here," Via said happily as she is now completely can be seen. The astrality now is finally gone.
"Who are you?!" Radas said surprised as Via appeared beside Evelyn all of a sudden.
"Your worst nightmare" Lol. Via wanted to try to speak those lines and she got a chance now. The feeling? It's very cool. Via pulls the thread and it effortlessly drags the kids towards her and carried them both. Of course, she pours a weightless potion towards them that's why they are not heavy right now.
"Let's not see each other again," Via said towards Radas as she nods to Evelyn, a void now appeared behind their backs. Radas don't make any move as he watched them leave with interest. Then soon vanished as Evelyn and Via with the kids completely absorbed by the void.
[Ire of Destruction activated!]
The whole tower shakes as a blinding light spark errupts.
*Boom!*
In the blink of an eye, everything was engulfed by a huge explosion of fire and lighting that roars all over the place. Like some nuclear bomb that dropped, the whole place of the tower exploded with nothing remains but only dark space.
