We Begin Hours Later In A Secluded Location Outside Of The City Of Sorcerer's After Selene's Dramatic Return, Now The Grand Elder Has Summoned Jay,Mel And Travis…
How Will This Unsettling Reunion After All That Has Happened Two Years Ago Go??? Find Out Now!!!
Selene(Serious): We Should Be Fine Here, It'll Take Him A While To Find Us!
Aria(Curious): So Selene, How Have You Been?
Selene(Focused): I'm Fine…
Selene Looks Down With An Unreadable Expression As She Quickly Changes The Subject.
Selene(Softly): You All Look Nice.
Aria(Nodding): Ditto!
Athena(Curious): What Happened To The World Over The Past Two Years?
Selene(Grim): Well Deimos And Adira Seem To Have Taken Full Control Over It.
Selene(Grim): Also Many Sorcerers Have Lost Faith In The Grand Elder's Leadership.
Selene(Grim): Which Is Why Thousands Of Sorcerers Have Left The City And Secluded Themselves Into.
Selene(Dark): There Are Even Sorcerers Who Are Deserting Their Own Tribes To Corrupt Themselves By Learning Forbidden Magic.
Selene(Grim): We Are Not Just Dealing With Deimos And Adira Anymore, Now We're Dealing With Sorcerers Who Are Just Plain Evil!
Suddenly The Trio's Conversation Is Cut Short As The Grand Elder Barges In Through The Entrance Alone With His Staff Ready To Eliminate Them…
Grand Elder(Coldly): And Frankly, You All Are Part Of The Problem, Selene You Aided Deimos In Accomplishing His Goal!
Aaliyah(Retaliating): After You Forced Her On That Mission As A Double Agent!
Aria(Focused): ?!
Aria Activates Her Soul Sight Technique, Her Eyes Turn A Bright Blue Color As She Scans The Room To Find Three Souls Around Them Lurking In The Shadows…
Travis(Dark): You Always Were The Powerhouse Of The Group Aria!
A Shadowy Tendril Suddenly Lunges At Aria Viciously But With Aria's New Skills She Effortlessly Dodges!
Thunder Hit's The Ground Outside As The Tension Rises, But Thunder???
With Clear Weather, That Can Only Mean One Thing…
Aaliyah(Serious): Jay!
Jay(Ominous): Hello Aaliyah!
The God Thunder Himself Jay Has Returned, Alongside Another Foe…
Ravens Begin Circling The Area As A Familiar Figure Emerges From The Flock Of Ravens…
Grand Elder(Calmly): You're Late Melantha!
Mel(Mocking): Shut The Hell Up Old Man!
Athena(Sighing): One After Another!
Suddenly Travis's Appearance Becomes More Demonic With Him Growing A Horn On His Forehead With Tendrils Enveloping His Body And The Area Around His Eyes Blackening…
Aria(Analyzing): This Is His Inner Demon, I Guess He Can Control It Now.
Travis Rushes At Aria Viciously As Aria Phases Through Him And Tries To Tap His Forehead In Order To Knock Him Unconscious But Then…
Aria(Off Guard): ?!
Suddenly A Vicious Fiery Phoenix Fly's In On Aria's Location And Successfully Hits Her, Nocking Her Back Through A Wall…
Athena Tries To Run In To Help Aria But Is Perceived By Both Jay And Mel…
Mel(Disrespectfully): You're Not Going Anywhere!
Athena(Sighing): I Don't Have Time For This!
Jay(Coldly): Then You'd Better Kill Us Here And Now!
Athena Activates Her Seals Of Heaven As Jay Guides The Sky's Thunder Toward Athena…
Athena Puts Up A Barrier Around Their Area To Stop Jay From Summoning Thunder, Mel With Her Immense Speed Appears Behind Athena And Lands A Punch Onto Her…
Athena(Shocked): ?!
Athena(Thinking): What Kinda Strength Is That?!
Athena Looks Over At The Grand Elder Who's Staff Is Glowing An Ominous Purple Energy…
Athena(Thinking): Oh I See, He's Amplifying Their Power Using A Binding Spell, So As Long As They Are Within Range Of Him Their Power Won't Stop Rising!
Then Aaliyah Comes Lunging At The Grand Elder Intending To Fulfill Her Long Awaited Quest For Revenge…
The Two Fist's Clash Which Sends A Shockwave Across The Area, Aaliyah Undergoes Her Demonic Transformation.
An Ominous Red Aura Forms Around Aliyah Which Causes Her Hair To Float Up As She Grows Claws And Fangs Her Eyes Turn Pitch Black With Red Pupils.
Grand Elder(Calm): This Again?!
Aaliyah Viciously Swipes The Air At The Grand Elder As He Blocks The Wind Which Almost Knocks Him Back…
Aaliyah Then Plants Her Hands Into The Ground As The Plants Around Them Wrap Around The Grand Elder…
Aaliyah(Demonic): Now!!!
Aaliyah Rips The Ground From Beneath Them Which Causes Lava To Erupt From The Ground…
Aaliyah Utilizes The Strong Wind Around Them To Carry The Lava To The Grand Elder Which Causes Half Of The Grand Elder's Body To Burn.
Then An Ancient Healing Magic Covers The Grand Elder's Side…
Grand Elder(Thinking): Without This That Attack Would've Killed Me!
The Grand Elder Then Lowers His Hood And Switches To The Offense!
The Grand Elder Then Picks Up His Staff From The Ground Which Cancels The Spell…
Grand Elder(Serious): C'mon!!!
The Grand Elder Then Lunges At Aaliyah And Swings His Staff At Her, Aaliyah Blocks His Staff But Suddenly Feel's Blood Dripping On Her Face.
Aaliyah(Confused): Huh?!
Suddenly The Tip Of The Grand Elder's Staff Turns Into A Blade Like Object, Capable Of Cutting Through The Toughest And Hardest Objects.
The Grand Elder Then Swings Around And Lands A Powerful Kick On Aaliyah…
Aaliyah(Coughing): Ack!
Aaliyah Tries To Fire Off A Heat Based Attack At The Grand Elder But With His Immense Speed He Dodges And Appears Behind Aaliyah!
He Then Swings His Staff In The Air Which Sends Unblock-able Air Slices At Aaliyah Which Cuts Straight Through Her Body Cutting Off Her Arm.
Aaliyah(Confused): What The Hell Is Going On!
Aaliyah(Analyzing): Wait, This Is Forbidden Magic.
Aaliyah(Analyzing): He Must've Found The Book Of Forbidden Spells And Found A Way Around My Transformation!!!
The Grand Elder Then Let's Out A Powerful Scream Which Blocks Aaliyah's Hearing.
Then…
Grand Elder(Grim): Stay Still!
The Grand Elder Suddenly Uses An Ancient Technique Which Allows The User To Tell Their Opponent To Do Something And They Will Be Forced To Do It.
But This Technique Has A Certain Condition In Order For It To Work, And That Condition Is To Put A Curse Mark Onto The Brain Of The Opponent.
The Grand Elder Placed It Onto Aaliyah Just When She Was Fourteen Years Old, Just When He Had Control Over Her Clan…
He Had Been Making Precautions Just Incase Her Clan Ever Tried To Oppose Him…
Aaliyah(Grunting): Damn It!!!
The Grand Elder Then Summons A Massive Spiraling Sphere Of Dark Energy And Launches It At Aaliyah Which Causes A Massive Explosion Which Covers A Maximum Two-Hundred Meter Radius…
Moments Later As The Smoke Subsides, Aaliyah Is Now Lying On The Ground Half Dead With Lots Of Wounds Around Her Body And A Bruised Face…
Grand Elder(Cocky): You Where A Fool To Think You Can Oppose Me, If You Had Just Done What I Asked Of You This Wouldn't Have Had To Happen!
Aaliyah Then Without Being Able To Speak, Then Begins To Slowly Blink As She Tries To Breath.
Her Breathing Heavy And Vision Going Blurry, She Then Closes Her Eyes As She Thinks Of Jason In Her Final Moments…
Flashbacks Of Her Playing With Jason When He Was A Baby With Selene Also Playing With Them Begin To Cloud Her Mind…
Aaliyah(Softly): Jason, Selene. I- I'm So Sorry!
Aaliyah(Sobbing): Please Forgive Me!
Selene(Shouting): Mom!!!
Selene Begins Running Toward Aaliyah Ignoring The Threat's Before Her As The Grand Elder Takes The Final Swing…
Selene(Shouting/Tearing Up): MOM!!!
Just Before The Blade Can Reach Aaliyah, Suddenly She Teleports Across The Battlefield…
A Massive Gust Of Wind Sweeps Through The Area…
Aria(Alert): This Energy, It Feels Like!
Suddenly Everyone Feels A Massive Surge Of Energy, Even Sorcerers Within The City And All Of The Tribes Come To A Pause As They Feel This Immense Energy….
Everyone Looks Over To Aaliyah's Position As Someone Is Holding Her In Their Arms…
He Gently Places Her Down And Heals Her Completely In An Instant…
Grand Elder(Alarmed): So You're Alive…
Then The Battlefield Suddenly Gains A Deafening Silence As The Wind Blows Away All Of The Smoke Revealing The Mysterious Figure To Be…
Grand Elder(Dramatically): Jason!
Jason Returns With A Menacing Aura Surrounding Him, His Expression Blank But Giving Off A Sense Of Authority And Power…
But The Question Remains, What New Power Has He Gained Alongside His Now Menacing Aura???
To Be Continued In Chapter Four…
