It went quiet, then all of a sudden a beam of light descended down to the spot at which Sow called upon. There stood a King at which was summoned by his people.
"What happened here?" King Awhina asked. With an omniscient presence staring at her, she turned around. Assessing the situation and quickly piecing together parts to make the picture whole. She raised her guard, waiting for the silent beast to awaken.
"Who is she?" He asked. Tears starting to collect under his eyes, "Who is she!" He cried, covering his face and wiping his tears, his emotions mixed with the magic inside him. With a feral blast of fluctuating confusion he screamed, and yelled for the answer, "WHO IS SHE!! WHO IS SHE!!!!" He yelled and demanded for an answer, but with nobody there to answer he finally lifted his head.
*Zing~*
His eyes now glowing a dark, ominous red, he remembered. The person who killed his family… the person who caused his suffering… The person who needed to suffer as he had… Was right there in front of him,
His body jerked and shook as it seemed like something had fully consumed his soul. And as Awhina blinked, he was gone. Panicked, she observed her surroundings, and when she felt that the coast had been cleared, that's when it hit her…
A force of a million winds came crashing down on her. She screamed but nothing was heard as the air in her lungs was sucked right out of her, and with no breath to be taken, she fell to the floor.
Right there Fukushū swiped his glaive back to his hand and descended to the beaten earth. Not taking a good look at his opponent he thought he killed, he marched slowly as he made his way to the only tents still standing. Inside he found his target, a girl around three in a half feet tall. She has pure brown hair with golden streaks that seem unreal. Hesitant, he waited for the sound of a heartbeat but found none, confused he watched as the 11 year old girl layed stiff like a dead body, something the captain was so used to seeing that it made him sick. Though he had these thoughts of why he shouldn't, the raging storm consuming his mind gave him all the more reason for why he should. Contemplating his decision for doing something a warrior wouldn't do, his body as if it was a mannequin moved on it's and raised the glaive up high in the air. 1… 2… 3… His body moved and his weapon swung tearing the tent apart, but with this sheer will-power alone, Fukushū stopped his blade right as the blade drew blood. Seeing this, the entity controlling him fought harder and harder for control over his body. Dropping to the floor in an attempt to stop the emotional rollercoaster flailing about in his mind, he raised his hands up to his head and screamed.
"AAAH!" He yelled as the presence eventually gained complete access to his mind, body and soul. His body now glowing a complete ominous red he didn't hesitate to grasp the neck of the child, squeezing it tightly. It felt no enjoyment as it seemed this vessel had already been husked out by something else. Dropping it to the floor it turned around and saw Ahiwna standing there, slouched on a piece of wood.
"Steamy!?" She asked as she straightened up, Examining the figure, the frightening sight of what a parent could only imagine once became a sad reality twice as she realized that her late granddaughter lay wasted on the floor in front of her.
"What have you done!? What Have You Done!?' Awhina yelled. She charged at the captain but was blasted away with a powerful gust of wind. Getting up from the ground she reached for something in her bag and threw out a silver gold magi-stone. "Crack!" She crushed the stone and out of it came a sword so sharp it could slice light in half. Grabbing the sword Awhina cried and shouted as the pain she felt as of that moment was so unbearable 'the world felt her cry.'
"You will pay for this!" Awhina yelled as she took sharp steps closer towards the captain.
Blast of wind came running and snarling at her, but with her swiftness, she cut down each and every one of them getting ever so closer to Steamy.
*Slash!* *Slash*
She cut down the wind as if it was a piece of cake, and with her own force of wind she swung her sword in a downward motion and sliced the chest of the captain. He growled and flew up into the air. But seeing this opportunity, Awhina ran towards Steamys body and with all her soul, she jumped forward, reaching out to touch Steamy. Yet, counteracting her trajectory Fukushū swung his glaive and blew Awhina just beyond her desired location. With Steamy just being 3 feet away from her, Awhina swung her sword into the ground and clasped more magi-stones. She laughed and smiled as the magi-stones circled around her, "This is the end." Awhina said as she activated the magi-stones… With a force, a heavily dense source of magic now centering Awhinas core, she became immensely more powerful, so powerful it intimidated the captain.
"Ill kill you! Ill KILL YOU!" He shouted as the air around him became forced in a surging rage.
Awhina sighed but held her blade high, she swung her sword in the air and shouted, Skill: "Wind Blade!" Her sword now turned from a silver gold, to a silver cold; the battle soon became an even playing ground as the wind from Awhina's sword overpowered Fukushū and his wind ability.
*Blast!* *Slash!* "Blast!*
Again and again the constant battle of winds clashed against each other creating crater after crater in the air. Though it seemed like Awhina was at an advantage she knew that she had a limited time with the magic-stones as their affinity could soon wear off. She crushed an orange red stone into powder and swung the sword against the fine orange dusk. Then, with the slash of her blade Awhina threw her sword with so much empowered strength that it could slice through Fukushū. "Grr." He stated, being a mindless puppet not having any sense of awareness he caught the sword with his other hand making it bleed. "HAHA!" Awhina laughed, "You imbecile!" She yelled, and at that moment, the sword that was now in the hands of Fukushū exploded into millions of different shards making Fukushū drop to the ground. Wasting no time Awhina ran up to Steamy and placed her hands on the neck and body of Steamy, there she felt a faint force of life ever so slightly getting stronger. She stood tall as if forgetting about the threat that could potentially kill both her and her granddaughter. With a wide smile on her face she could feel a burst of 2 different energies awakening. With a deep breath she stood up and faced Fukushū as he got up from the explosion. Enraged he disappeared into thin air and reappeared right in front of Awhina, and with his bare hands he threw a punch so fast, and so strong that it went straight through the kingly armor that Awhina was wearing. She caughed and smiled as creepy blood started to gush out from her mouth. Falling backwards as Fukushū pulled his hand out from the hole he created when punching threw Awhina, a voice from behind her could be heard in absolute terror.
"…Grandma..?"
