[How Zaire defeated the Guardians of the Dead]
As expected, Zaire kept crashing the guardians down, and they kept emerging strong and faster than before. Though the Guardians kept emerging stronger and faster, Zaire was still the strongest and the fastest. Using his Spear he kept knocking them down. Zaire had a frisky character, he doesn't get irritated that easily. He would mind fighting with the Guardian the whole day.
" Oh, you raised again. Wow, we should possess monster-like this back at home. They would be good for practicing some fighting techniques.", Zaire articulated. To him, the Guardians are merely excellent excuses to exercise some muscle.
Though Zaire wouldn't mind fighting with the Clay men for a while, time doesn't favor him at this moment. It wouldn't be a problem if this occurred during the day. His body was starting to be irritated. The skin began to shrivel. The heat was unbearable. His saliva dried out, leaving his mouth very dry. His entire body system was functioning terribly and he was unable to think properly. He was withstanding extensive heat and the only cure was a bit of moisture. He would love to stay, but home is where he should be. If this proceeds then he would be able to see another day. He has to finish with these Guardians right in this instant.
Time is not in Zaire'side as he just crashed Silo for the fifth time or so and again Silo emerged. He was beginning to get agitated and every time he gets angry the storms start to develop. If he can't control his emotions then soon there will be a storm, and if the anger continues, then we will be talking about things like hurricanes typhoons, and extra.
He is now frustrated and his frustration builds up a heavy storm. The wind gusted through the branches and then downpour with some lighting.
As the rain poured on Zaire, he started to feel better. His skin turned back to normal and he can feel the heat decreasing and mouth wet again. With his body turning back to normal, and he was able to think carefully."No, Zaire what are you doing. The storm can injure Zendaya or even worse kill her. I had to calm down. Be calm, be calm...."
And just like that Storm stopped as Zaire was able to control his emotions and calm down. His skin was better but he knew that it will start again unless if it gets some water. An idea popped, and Zaire knew how he can stay moist the whole night.
In Zaire's tribe, all beings can control water and rain with the use of the spear they always hold. Using his Spears, Zaire was able to generate rainfall only on top of him. A slowly steady rainfall on him and got redirect to where ever he goes. This would lessen the irritation of his body and reduce the heat. He will now be able to think probably and make wise decisions. Zaire crushed a Guardian, but not Silo, and realize that they are made of clay.
"Clay, mud. Okay, now I know how I defeat you or at least temporarily defeat you." He looked at his spear and turned to look at Silo who was now emerging probably for the sixth time. A wry smile on his face and his spear slowly turned sea blue.
Using his spear, he knocked the Guardians. He made sure that he doesn't just knock them but smashed them. Before they could emerge again, he created downpours upon them. Water was pouring on them and Zaire was crashing them, he wanted to see them as more than rubble. With the use of both his massive strength and magical spear, he turned them into clay sand. This was a hard process because of the myriad clay men.
He kicked, jumped, flee, and slashed as he was crushing the clay man. He poured rain on them and slowly the Guardian turned into mud. His plan seemed to be working as there was no more emerging. All were turned to mud and Zaire's task seemed to be accomplished. That heavy rain flooded the forest. This is the same water that carried Zendaya to a knoll.
"Thank you"
"For what, if I may ask"
"For saving my niece. I will forever be grateful."
"No need to thank me, I did it because I wanted to"
"Can I ask for your favor?"
"No need to ask. I will search for Zendaya and I will find her. Then, I will take her back to the village myself. This I promise you."
Zaire was now on a mission of locating Zendaya and no matter what, he promised to take Zendaya back home. This forest is dangerous and he would not leave until he made sure that Zendaya is safe in her village. Zaire knew that Zendaya will refuse to return, but he also knew that he has to convince her. He can't return to his Kingdom, knowing that Zendaya Is in an extremely dangerous locale.
Zaire of course didn't know anything about Zendaya's powers.No one knew anything about Zendaya's powers. Even Zendaya herself is confused about what is happening to her.
How was she able to speak to animals? Why did her body glow or change when the rain poured on her? How come she wasn't bruised when she wakens? Where did she get the superpowers she had when she was battling Silo and why did the powers disappear? Did her powers start when she was young and never realized it? So many questions, that needed to be answered.
Zaire spends the whole night looking for Zendaya. He was even getting worried, as the sun raised."What if the storm harmed her or worse killed her.No Zaire, be positive. She is fine and unharmed."
He was beginning to forfeit his hope, tears filled his eyes and he was blaming himself as he finally saw Zendaya and Faith. Faith was about attack Zendaya when Zaire saw them.
"Stop"
****
"How I'm glad to see you. Are you harmed? How did you defeat those things? Where were you by the time of the storms? Didn't it..."
"Oh, Zendaya, which question should I answer, relax I'm fine. How about you?"
"I'm fine, surprisingly"
"Good, I'm taking you back to the village?"
