The first thing the girls did was run into the bedroom. The guns were on the bed.
The fire consumed the corridors. Blue and cold as before.
"Let's get ready. The room can be consumed. " said Kendra concentrated.
The blonde used the air to take two backpacks and fill with things like clothes, potions, fruit and other necessary things they had received from the coordinator. Lucky you had this class recently.
With their backpacks on their shoulders, they set off towards the corridor.
The fire now seemed more alive, and Kendra briefly leaned on it, noticed that it also burned. A changeable heat that soon after burning, froze.
"All right? " said Mira loudly, the shouting of the people was so much that she could not hear her own voice.
"Yeah, it was nothing.
The girls continued running, but were surrounded by Dowykais. The creatures drooled and growled.
Mira knew they wouldn't hurt her, but the other was a different case. Besides, they had to make their way.
She aimed at the right side toward the ground while Kendra imagined a scythe as her weapon. It was a blue scythe, transparent, almost invisible, logically made of air. But would it cut? That's what they would see.
Mira hit the arrow on the ground, causing an explosion that drove most creatures away. As for Kendra, she handled the scythe as if it were a simple fan. It was as light as a fan. The heads of the animals were harvested and the path was opened.
They kept running, looking for the coordinator, but the elf was nowhere to be found. Some younger students rushed to defend themselves, but the girls didn't know where to take them. Everything was in chaos.
Meanwhile the flames grew stronger and higher. A Dowyakai came to meet him and Mira defended herself by putting the bow in front of her. The creature bit the bow. Suddenly, fire ignited the animal leaving the bow intact.
"Now you can't say I never helped you. " said Jack.
His red hair was messy. He looked tired.
"Jack! " smiled Kendra.
"All right? Miss Between is looking for you. She asked me to take you to her.
Meanwhile, Mira saw something that surprised her. A man walking through the flames, he was on his back, heading towards the library. The short white hair was the only thing on his head.
It was him, the emperor, his brother Dylan. Mira ran after him.
"Mira, where are you going? " Kendra asked worried.
"Where is she going? What's going on? " asked Jack confused.
Kendra followed her friend and, without much choice, the boy too.
The man was fast and Mira had to hurry up to follow him.
"Dylan! " she screamed. "I'm here! Come face me!
But the king ignored her.
The young woman passed through the corridors, dodging the crowd and the animals trying to attack her, and finally reached the library. However, upon entering he had a surprise. The emperor was no longer there. What was there was just a note. Another.
Mira picked up the paper on the first desk in the library. It was exactly like the first one, however, was written in common language.
That idiot was playing with her. The girl looked frustrated at the place. The fire was getting there. All books and knowledge would be destroyed. The bookshelves, tables and chairs made of mahogany as well.
"For what?" - she thought.
She approached the page to read better, but someone was approaching.
"Mira! " was the friend who was with Jack in pursuit. Both panting.
"It was Dylan. " said the priestess showing the note.
"Who is Dylan? " asked the curious redhead.
"A relative of mine. It's none of your business. " replied Mira.
"Mira... " Kendra scolded her. " What does the note say?
The young woman was a little apprehensive when reading the contents near the boy. But she had to trust Kendra.
"Here's what it says:
"Dear sister, I hope you enjoyed my visit. Unfortunately I can not stay there for long, but my creatures can last all year. If you keep hiding, I'll keep attacking. Coming to Harlisze is the best way. Your family will be waiting for you. Go home and everyone you love will be safe.
Signed: The Emperor."
Seconds later the note caught fire. Mira took a step back, frightened.
"I didn't know you had a crazy brother. " said Jack, amusing.
"Neither do I. " said taking a long breath.
She didn't even know him and the man was already giving her a lot of work.
"Let's just go to Miss Between. She'll know what to do. " said Kendra.
The trio left, but the corridor was surrounded by creatures.
"Need help? " It was Elliot who had just attacked an animal with his burning fire.
"Of course. " said Isa showing up with a water whip that took several away while being whipped.
" "Let some fun for us. " Rick laughed
The animals began to float. The boy moved his hands in circles creating a whirlpool. The Dowykais were sent away, but closer together.
Soon the group was gathered in a circle. Several elements united, fighting for a single purpose. One person was missing there.
"Isn't Mirelle with you? " Mira asked as she shot an arrow into a creature's eye.
"Here! Watch the ground! Hold on. " said Mirelle appearing.
"Hold on? " asked Kendra.
But before any answer, the frizzy-haired one hit her foot on the ground making him tremble. The group tried to hold on to the walls of the place, but it was in vain. They all went down.
The animals ran scared to the opposite side. When there was no more danger, Mirelle raised her hands and moved them as if opening something. Thus, a huge hole appeared in the ground, sucking the creatures to an unknown place.
"Next time try not to take the help along to the grave, Relle. " said Elliot standing up.
"Let's go before more appear. " Jack told Kendra, helping her get up. " Hold Mira's hand so they don't get lost.
The young man held Kendra's hand and pulled it, which consequently pulled her brown-haired friend along.
The creatures that were in the corridor ahead chased them and the fire followed them. The young men hurried their way.
The group passed through the corridors so fast that the former directors could not even be seen.
They reached a large golden door. Jack pushed her and Miss Astrid could be seen inside the room.
The place was huge, with chandeliers all over the ceiling that emanated an orange light. It was a large place, with clear walls and several magical circles of various colors and shapes drawn on the large cream-colored marble floor.
The elf was near a blue circle. There was a large central circle, in the north there was another smaller one intertwining with him, another in the east and another in the west. In its middle was a symbol of fairy wings with intertwined loops. Above the symbol was a blue fox, a magical, almost spiritual form.
"What fox is that? " asked Mira curious.
"She represents the shape of the mark the fairy made on her friend. " a male voice said.
The voice belonged to an elf with long black hair trapped in a low ponytail. Shrewd green eyes. His hood of the dark green cloak was down. The golden details went up to the sleeve and like every elf, he looked young. Maybe he was the same age as Miss Between.
"I'm Liandel, pleasure. " he said reaching out to Kendra.
It was only when he went to shake the hand of the elf, that the girl noticed that she was still holding Jack's hand.
"Pleasure. Kendra Millers.
"Are you the one with the mark?
The girl confirmed it.
The man walked away and went to greet Mira, the blonde then felt her face warm. Because Jack had not released her hand?
"Get in the circle. Let's try to take the mark off you. We have to be quick before the Dowykais arrive. " Liandel said hurriedly.
Kendra entered the circle and felt the mark burn. The spiritual fox stared at her with no reaction, until the two elves began to chant a spell in the ancient fairy tongue.
"Bydde y marcx ar eich croenyes yn cael ei rannu. Bydd y drwg yn eixhres croen yn cael ei buro. Bydd yr anifail yn eixhuen croen yn gadseues i chi dynnu eich crafangau heb adael tras. Trwy rym y fam sy ' n folued ein llwybr, ein hawydd a ' n hysbryd. Bod y rheollydw yn cael ei ddeor a ' igymride yn ôl i ' w feistr. Gadewth and plentyn hwn the bob pwnc to Brand.
Kendra's mind, not knowing the reason, automatically translated the charm.
"The mark on your skin will be divided. The evil on your skin will be expunged. The animal on your skin will leave its claws without a trace by the power of the Mother that illuminates our path, our desire and our spirit. Let the control be purged and brought back to its master. Let that child be cleansed of every subject and stain.
As the spell was sung, Kendra felt the mark burn, just as the fox seemed to scream.
The girl fell on her knees on the ground, the mark burning more and more.
There was a noise on the door. The blue barrier that protected it was breaking.
"We don't have time! We have to split the mark. " said Liandel.
"I share. " said Jack.
"Wait a minute. Do you want to share the burden? " asked Mira.
"Why does Jack volunteer like that?" - she thought.
"Yeah. You got other things to carry, right? Your brother doesn't look very nice.
Without Mira saying anything else, Jack entered the circle.
The fox split in two and a green light began to come out of Liandel's hands. He put them on the mark. Then he divided them up, one hand above Kendra's mark and the other on Jack's chest. An identical mark began to appear on his chest. Seconds later, both brands changed from orange to blue.
"Okay. It's done! " the older man said.
"Thank you. " Kendra thanked him.
At this very moment, the Dowykais entered, followed by the blue fire that began to consume everything. Their silver fangs with drool and the hairs that changed from black to gray, bristly.
"You have to go. The emperor will not leave here. " said Astrid.
Beside her was a round, huge light.
"This is a portal to Mantua " said Astrid. "I have something for you. The only race that has a correct map of Harlisze is the fairies. Look for Aine. She can help you.
The girls were amazed at the portal.
"Here! There's something else. " said the woman.
She extended Kendra a long necklace with a ball-shaped pendant. He seemed to have a universe within him, with blue, purple and lots of sparkle.
"That's Elantari's necklace. Stop at any elf building and think of knowledge. The necklace will lead you to the library of the universe. But use it only, and only if the agreement with Aine goes wrong, understood? There is very dangerous. Good luck and take care.
The coordinator stroked their heads. Whether she liked it or not, she had attached to them.
Saying goodbye, he turned his attention to the door.
"Go. With the amount of magic I put in this portal, it can only carry two people and will last a short time.
"Thank you, Miss Between. " Mira said with a smile.
The elf smiled back as a purple light appeared in her hands. The creatures continued to attack and the elves and Jack battled them.
"Come on. Quick! " said Mira crossing the portal.
"Kendra! " Jack called her.
He approached her and held her hands.
"Be careful. I care about you.
So Jack Sealed his Lips on Hers in a calm, smoky kiss .And before the girl could say anything, he pushed her through the portal. I knew the girl would waste time on arguments.
Still surprised, Kendra didn't even realize she fell on a fluffy floor. She looked down and felt something sandy. Only the noise of the wind could be heard. There was nothing there. Just her, Mira and sand.
