Genesis

Chapter 16

Duiguid was as amazed as he was confused. "Ko?! Where the helll did you come from?"

"No time to explain. Just fight!" He immediately rushed at the electromancer who nimbly moved out of the way. "D gimme a boost!" Duiguid nodded and held still as Ko ran up his back. Then, as he neared the tip of his sword, he launched him into the sky. The electromancer watched intently as he neared him. "He'll fall before he reaches this height." he thought. Then he got the shock of his life. "Avian Burst!"

Ko used the wind chant to launch himself farther. He was even higher now than he thought. "Needle Art: Splinter Storm!" The young man was in shock. There was no way he could escape unscathed unless he assumed his animality while performing his airal defense at the same time. He had to risk it. In a flash both Ko and Duiguid saw him rise through the quills as he became as lightning and went high into the clouds. The attack proved succesful and Duiguid saw what Ko had done. Not only will they know what clan he hails from, but now he must be on the offense rather than defense, which is in truth, to their advantage. Not that Duiguid cared. He had intended to use his ultimate which he knew would have knocked him clean out of the sky. "Here he comes." Duiguid said to himself. Obelisk was ringing in his hands, its lust for blood clearly growing from witnessing the latter move. As both watch the now swirling clouds, a figure is seen descending. The young man emerged with his animality. An eagle. He shrieked, and as he did so, his entire body became alive as it burst into violent sparks. An Aderyn. "Now there's something you don't see everyday." Ko implied. "An Aderyn. A nuetral race that since the begining of The Great War hid themselves from exsistence." But while he was talking, Duiguid had already begun to fight. He yelled as he charged up towards the sky aiming for the Aderyn. He scoffed and and summoned a weak lightning bolt that transformed into a very complex looking bow. The wings of the bow were well dressed, their Aderynian desgins glowing brightly. The centre of the bow itself was equally as special. A single circle plate with the word lightning written on it. The wings of the bow seemd as though they were meant to retract to make some sort of shield.

The Aderyn's hand swept lightly over the steel centre of the bow and in doing so created an electric arrow. "Divinity Arrow." he shot at Duiguid, who took the blow head on and propelled back to earth. "Hmph." Then he heard a voice. "Thanks. Now I can get up there!" He looked through the clearing dust and saw that the Lycan was charging his Banchi at an incredible rate. Ko looked at him and then towards the sky. "Will this do? Master?" 

"Yes. Now go."

Duiguid launched himself into the air, much to the shock of the Aderyn, using the static energy plus his own Banchi to propel him through the air. So in awe was the Aderyn that he barely noticed the Lycan's sword was within range of his body. He had barely enough time to dodge and resorted to his only defense move in that state. The bow's wings retracted to give the appearance of a simple shield, then he charged it with electricity. But Duiguid wasn't aiming for him. Instead, he aimed for the space about him. "Swift Fang." A relentlessly strong attack. The aderyn could not comprhend which direction it came from. He was hit. His wings got damaged and unable to control his balance, he fell from the sky. Stunned, confused and weakened, he try to lift himself out of the rubble he now found himself in. He came to as felt a blade to his throat. "The difference in power is now clear. Who sent you?"

Accro awoke to find himself in a very beautiful garden. Never before had he seen such splendor. Even in his homeland, known for its breathtaking gardens were not as stunning as what laid before his eyes. Then he heard a voice. "Over here. Wake up!" Over and over he heard the voice. But no matter which way he ran, the voice was as endless as the echo it wrote upon the wind. There was no telling where it came from. He sat and meditated, hoping that as he heard it again, he could now fully locate the person by focusing all his thoughts on the trailing echo. The voice etched itself in the wind again. Then all became clear. Accro stood up. Taking up a traditional fighting stance, he prepared his attack. "Sand Rebellion." The attack commenced. An incredible sandstorm now blanketed the area. The force bieng great, the garden broke, shattering into many peices. An illusion made to keep the prisoner at bay. "Good." said a voice. "He woke up." Accro saw a door and peered outside. The sight was quite the opposite from what he had just seen. Dank, dark and smelly. "Yup. Now I know I'm prison." He looked around at the other doors to see if he could identify the voice he had heard earlier. Nothing. He shouted out but got no response. Then after many attempts, a small head could be seen making its way to the fourth door, left of his vision. He couldn't make what is was, but from the voice, he knew it was female.
