Era 8, iron age, 10 leisure, 3400 date,
___________________________________________________________________________
It was already minutes when the charge was happening. Asha turned back to his normal human mode from his fore mode. He looked to see Joshua kneeling down with blood all over him.
Asha ran swiftly to him. Joshua turned and smiled at him, he teased, "The fire is finally over."
Asha was definitely more serious than that. He inspected Joshua's body to see the wounds. He stepped closer to Joshua to get a better look, which caused him to step on the bloody puddle that Joshua was kneeling on.
Ahsa finally came to the conclusion, "these wounds are bad but%u2026 you better go to isabella to fix these wounds! I mean I am kinda serious."
The beginning of Asha's sentence was very serious, but after when he said 'but..' that turned into a downright meme. And Joshua couldn't help himself but chuckle%u2026 but yes, his wounds are very large and could affect him a lot. He needed to stop these wounds until they became infected.
Joshua stood up from kneeling. He looked around to see the ring of fire, or course stopped. He then looked at Asha again and commanded him, "Let's go and check on Tony, he's doing a dangerous mission! We better get going to see what he is doing."
So Joshua and Asha walked to see that there was sound erupting in the background. They followed this noise, and the traks led them to a tent where they saw Tony and another void woman fighting each other.
Joshua thought, Zheria%u2026 it's her%u2026
Asha shouted deafly, "YOU LET MY FRIEND GO YOU VOIDS MEN!!!"
Zheria and Tony turned their heads facing Joshua and Asha. she had a stern large frown on her face. Tony on the other hand was the opposite of Zheria, he had a nervous smile but Tony was still confident in his%u2026 friends%u2026
Zheria did not hesitate to say, "I am the most powerful of all and you shall die you heck of a fighter, you don't even look like you're even trained, you little punk!!!"
Joshua looked at her with deep dark eyes, "well, do you want to taste the element and the power of gold? It's not the best but oh is it powerful."
Asha was shocked he said that, but also amazed, I never knew he bragged but I guess in the battle he would need some courage to helm fight off zheria, she is very powerful, both with buff in skill, power, and knowledge%u2026 ohh this is gonna be a heck of a fight from now%u2026
Zheria then spawned in a couple stars%u2026 They were bigger than last time when she attacked Tony. The stars were nothing like before. From the dark and purple balls of hell. To the purple and back stars of fire with mighty explosions that could kill in an instant.
Though the stars were significantly powerful, they were no match for joshua. Joshua had a special ability where he could%u2026 deflect things. With his sword he can swipe off the enemies attack without even touching himself.
But Zheria wasn't giving up with just a little attack, "well well, look who's the powerful one. Not saying you can beat me but let's give it a go, I think you might be a great match for me, but still%u2026 I always win. But once I defeat you, I will slaughter your friends and everything you wish."
Joshua smiled, he wanted to correct Zheria that he had defeated Gasmar, " but you have no other or friends, how would you do that, and by that I mean%u2026 Your general Gasmar is dead, and there is no one else to help you survive Zheria, and anyway, even if I haven't defeated Gasmar, still, you will be in your rotten graves by now%u2026"
Zheria looked at Joshua, at the same time she wanted him to be her loyal servant, but at the same time she wanted to torment him to his last blood in his heart.
The dark stars suddenly crashed down on maximum speed and headed right towards Joshua. But Joshua deflected it by swiping his sword fastly and then hit the stars and the stars headed Towards Zheria.
Zheria had nothing to worry about. She just stood there not doing anything. She crossed her arms and looked at Joshua with a slight smile. Wasn't a smile of a nice or laughing kind, it was obviously the evil kind. The dark stars just went through her for some odd reason.
Zheria explained, "you might not have noticed but your elements, special abilities, and%u2026 powers, aren't just something%u2026 it's someone. You see they detect and know what you are doing. So what I command it to do, our elements, special abilities, and powers do it all for us."
"So you mean that powers do what we do, like our powers give us the ability to go through our own attacks because they are living creatures, am I right?" Joshua understood what she was saying.
"Yes," Zhreia answered, "but I am afraid that you are dead right now."
Zheria suddenly flew two playing cards with very sharp edges that could cut you into pieces cards to Joshua. Joshua had no time to react. The two cards sliced a perfect diagonal line through Joshua into his chest.
Blood flew right out of the bloody line that Zheria created with the cards. Though it was quite strong it didn't piece him. Joshua grabbed out the sharp cards out of his bloody flesh and origins. He secretly kept the cards in his pocket so that he could use them later. Zheria did not see him put the cards behind his back, proving that his master plan would work%u2026 maybe.
Zheria looked confused but angry at the same time, she yelled, "HOW DID THAT NOT PIERCE YOU!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD 10 SECONDS AGO YOU BASTARD!!!"
Joshua looked at Zheria in the eyes, "did you really think just some cards would pierce through high quality armor from Taibeyoshia? Well you were wrong%u2026 this thing is as tough as 1 billion T-rexes%u2026"
Zheria gave him a small grin, "well I am guessing that I'll be sucking you in a black whole into my world I suppose%u2026 I mean what could go wrong in a black hole of death I mean%u2026"
"What black hole?" Joshua asked like he knew what a black whole meant so there was no need to ask her anyway.
Suddenly Zheria put her hand together. Then she spread her arms. Joshua, Asha and Tony saw a black baal in her hand. The ball got bigger as Zheria spreaded her arms.
Whoosh! The wind instantly dragged Joshua, Asha, and Tony. The wind dragged them closer to the gigantic "black hole" of death. The hole got bigger in vision as they got closer. Now they could not see anything. The black hole was one inch in front of them%u2026 then they were sucked in.
. . . . . .
BANG! BANG! The swords clashed together making a big clanging sound. Swords hit the metal parts of men's shields. Galloping of void horses erupted in the background.
Arubie didn't know what was going on over there, was it training, was it raiding, was it a battle? Arubie had no answer to her own mystery.
She peeked to see it was a large field battle erupting just in front of her. She wondered if anyone had seen her. She was quite surprised that the void still wasn't stopped. After five year of imprisonment nothing was achieved.
I guess the world can't defeat the power of darkness%u2026 or can they? Arubie kept her thoughts in her mind and rushed to one of the abandoned houses. She looked at the gigantic force of men on a hill with their shield wall formation trying to defend off the voids attack. Of course Arubie did quite know who had the lead, who was winning, or who had more power.
I wonder if there is anybody like me here who is like me, has powers%u2026 doesn't know what they are truly capable of%u2026 and destined to erase darkness and calamity, now that Arubie had thought of it, she kinda thought there were people who have powers like her, and probably not lie in the past, but maybe right now.
Arubie felt helpless, she wasn't even helping the humans win against the void. I mean she just becomes useless to everyone%u2026 Well there was a reason%u2026 She didn't want to show her face to anyone%u2026 well except for people she had known like Arolsas or the travelling wizard, even people like Maleonic.
Arubie rotated her head and looked to her left to her left which was woods surrounding the village, which was on the hill. She knew that if she walked to her left in a straight line she would end up in the enemy base.
So she left the abandoned house and climbed down the steep stone stairs. She ran out of the door and looked to her left. Looked closely to the things in front of her. She saw that there was a campsite, it looked like, on the end of the hill just a few meters away from the defenders.
For now she thought that she could just wait until the battle had ended, hoping Maleonic or Gasmar wouldn't show up. She definitely didn't want to end up like the last battle that left her trapped under the sea for practically 5 years, well she probably had to skip a lot of events.
She relaxed her mind and erased her thoughts out of her mind. She slowly sat back on the wall of the abandoned building of the village of Teava.
She closed her eyes and envisioned the sight of Arolsas's handsome face%u2026 she dreamed herself in his arms%u2026 underneath the beautiful sight of the night%u2026
I hope my life was like this
. . . . . .
OOF!
Joshua, Asha and Tony fell down on some kind of land. They all stood up from lying on the ground.
Weird%u2026 Joshua thought, where are we, this is inside of the black hole, it looked totally different here. Shouldn't we be sucked into- WAIT, this is not the black hole. This is Zheria's black hole, so this must be a whole different world%u2026
Joshua studied where they were at. He saw empty trees with no leaves in it scattered around the desert field. It was a bit warmer, but there were gentle winds blowing around the trees. The sky was%u2026 dark black.
He looked down where he was standing%u2026 a path, well a path always means it leads to something, maybe help, but since this is zheria's black hole%u2026 then they should be in zheria herself%u2026
"Fishy," Asha said, "I found this map over here and I couldn't even find Trittania or Alcutuscets, not even Taibeyoshia, only something called%u2026 the kingdom of the void%u2026 bow to Queen Zheria???"
"This is Zheria's world," Joshua was correct, "this was Zheria's world, "so how do we get out of here? Maybe we just open another portal."
"Well maybe since this is Zheria's world then she wants to be queen, if we destroy her dreams we win," Tony suggested.
"I guess so," Asha replied.
"Let's try that," Joshua said.
They followed the path which from the map, seemed like a highway leading to "queen Zheria's" palace. They walked slowly and quietly in case there were troops nearby, even though they could kill them in an instant. Who knows what Zheria's kingdom is inventing, a supervoid monster that has unstoppable powers? Probably not.
It took about an hour to actually see at least something ahead. And it was the palace. The sky was still dark. There were guards around the palace and it looked as if it was impossible to get in.
Joshua whispered in a hushed tone, "well we got to get in there%u2026"
Suddenly Joshua yelled, "SO LET'S RUN THROUGH THE GUARDS!!!"
"How do you even do that? impossible," asha asked in confusion. He hoped Joshua did not have any of those crazy plans, but it was obvious so he was going to have to suffer from Joshua's crazy-.
But Joshua explained, "go on my back asha. Then, Tony goes on Asha's back."
Asha sighed and they all obeyed Joshua's crazy plan. Asha of course went first. He climbed up Joshua's sturdy back and put his laps on Joshua's shoulders. Asha relaxed since he was already sitting on Joshua's shoulders.
Tony went second and he climbed up Jashua's back. JOshua did not look hesitated, nor was he clinching. He just looked up at Asha, waiting for Tony's head to pop up on Asha's shoulder. Tony gabbed on to Asha's armor and the weight of him hurt his back and his armor. It was like the thick piece of metal was going to rip off. Asha clinched a bit. And then tried to shuffle him off. But Tony kept on there.
Now Tony was on Ash's shoulders. And Asha%u2026 was not comfortable. Tony weighed so much that right now Asha wanted to get out. He looked down at Joshua. JOshua was normal. He was waiting to say ready but looked around first for the perfect time. He then explained, "hold on tight because I am going the speed of light any second now. Ready?"
"Kinda," Tony shrugged
"How are you even not struggling with two people on you with armor on?!" Asha asked, still shocked that one person with heavy armor with another two people on his shoulders with armor can still handle it.
Joshua looked at Asha, "we don't have time, ready asha?"
"Ok," he sighed, "WAIT, what speed agai-"
WHOOSH!!!
Joshua went full speed, not the speed of 100mph, not 1000mph but the speed of light! That%u2026 Asha could not handle%u2026 at all. He was going to ask the speed, and then it turned out to be the speed of light.
In 0.1 seconds, they passed almost 3 miles. But with Asha's powers, he could feel it in slow motion, and Tony and JOhsua had the same powers too. Really odd to do slow motion of something at the speed of light, but they were beyond slow motion. So it actually took 1 hour to get there while jOhsua was running. They all used their "beyond slow-motion power and actually had quite a chat.
And finally they were there, one hour of slow-mo, but people will see it as one millisecond, they reached the palace. Not one guard saw them. They leaned on a black sturdy wall.
"Should we go in?" Tony asked in a hushed voice.
Joshua was planning on saying no, but he changed his mind and simply nodded without saying a word or two. Asha, Joshua and Tony rushed and opened the door without a creak.
The large door shut itself but no one seemed to notice that three imposters from the real world were sneaking to kill the queen%u2026 and that was them.
Once they were in, they looked around. There was a long, large, quiet hallway. Even numbers of doors on each side with mysterious patterns. The hallway was dark. Only two torches are placed on every side of a door.
Looked in front of him. The end of the hallway was stairs with 4 torches around it. The stairs passed through a room, into another room that was out of Joshua's sight.
Asha knew that there had to be%u2026 more to this puzzle. He looked far ahead of what Joshua was ewing. There was a room where there were square platforms you had to jump on. If you fall then you'd instantly die. Even worse was that they were moving%u2026 extremely fast! No way they could get past that room without dying. Asha looked right behind the arch that led to the room. There was some sort of tone placed there.
Asha figured they could maybe break the stone, which in his perspective was easy to break, and then once done, the platforms could stop moving. Then he thought again%u2026 that 100% won't work Asha, THINK, he thought to himself.
You know Asha,gold said that we could just find some crystals and place it inside the stone, because I don't think you notice this but you can see markings and holes in it%u2026
Wait who are you, thought asha being confused. The voice seemed to be coming from his head speaking. It came out of nowhere and mentioned%u2026 gold? Isn't that Joshua-
You know I know what you're thinking kid, ok maybe I should call you master. But anyway I am fire, you're elements, and yeah I've never really talked exactly like you but I have talked to the other elements, like Gold, water, nature, earth, and metal. So I'm glad I showed up because if I weren't here guiding you, you would be dead like 10 minutes ago when you were fighting Zheria. And of course Zheria is right about the elements living thingy%u2026
Wait, that means%u2026
Yup, the other elements can talk to, well not talk but let's just call it saying stuff in your mind, the only thing I can call it because we can't actually speak out loud if you get what I mean.
I do%u2026
And also I am the same age as you, I sound like you, and I am you, ok? Got that master? You understand?
Yes I do now stop distracting me from doing my work%u2026
Yes%u2026 master%u2026
Then he immediately exclaimed to Joshua, "DUDE MY ELEMENT, FIRE, CAN FREAKING TALK I MEAN WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, HE CALLS ME MASTER! HE SAYS THAT HE IS ME! AND THE MOST SCARIEST THING, IS OF COURSE, THEY ARE SO SMART AND ALSO ZHERIA WAS RIGHT! ELEMENTS CA LIVE!!!"
Joshua replied, also giving the same subject as Asha was but more calmly, "you know I found that out too but there is no need to be scared. These elements will help us in battles a lot, and don't get distracted."
Asha calmed down his mind and concentrated on his objective. He remembers fire saying that they put crystals in the markings and pattern of all these holes on the stone.
He looked around to see if there even were any crystals around the whole palace. He walked towards the room where the stone was. He took a closer look at the stone. Then he looked around the room he was in.
There were four rooms, two in the right corners, and the others in the other two corners. He went to one of them. Careful if he saw any guards, he went inside. The only thing he saw was a white, rhombus shaped crystal. The markings on it were a piece of the dark embers.
He turned back and walked to the other room. The room was like the other one he had just been into. There was no light, except for the dim light that was a torch sizzling in the dark corner of the room. The crystal was red with the dark embers on it%u2026 again.
