I opened my eyes to find myself back in my innermost subconscious.
It's a dark place that only I can access and meet Xula, The Guardian.
She is kept in the middle and chained up by magic that Kairo had set up before I drifted to sleep.
The sounds of her chain moved once I approached her with caution. This isn't the first encounter. So, I'm getting used to her movements.
Xula looked up and pulled on a smirk. "I see you've come back. Give up, kid. You can never beat me even if you did, which won't happen. What makes you think I will submit to you."
I know I don't have the power to overthrow someone considered a warrior and the protector of the Moon Goddess. But if I want to use the power of the Guardians to fight my foes and protect my loved ones, then this is my only option.
I swallowed hard and approached her again with confidence. Sure, she is scary looking because she was neglected. I need to show her I'm not afraid.
