~• The Awakening Of Jutso Kingdom •~

( Battles of Shadows )

Screams filled the room and I bend down because  the vines that strangled my feet is getting tighter. I gasp as it starts to grab my hands also.

I breath heavily and open my mouth.

"It is not the Gem that sources all the shadows power. It's the moon"

I said, I didn't even know if I am correct. I just feel it was the right answer bases on the riddles.

But the expression in Lady Hakari's face was enough for me to know that the moon is the correct answer.

"H-how did you know?"

"Its simple, the shadows are the moon's  child.  And your home  is the Gem"

Lady Hakari breath heavily and look at me with the most deadly eyes. The vines strangled from my feet and hands let go and I thought everything is done.

But I thought wrong.

All the vines spike fly at my direction, and with my quick reflexes I manage to dodge it.

I grab my bow and my eyes widen as I didn't feel it in my back.

Where is it?

I look back to Lady Haraki as she rises both her hands and all the vines are flying everywhere. I quickly look for covers.

As I remembered the three people who are dying. Damn, this three.

They are gone from the chair, I look around and saw them taking cover.

It was Usuin who is conscious now and helping Isfail and King Goro.

"Stop this madness Lady Hakari!"

I shouted.

"No one will be leaving this palace without dying!"

The agony of her voice echoed the whole room. All of us will die if I continue making her angry. I look at my reflection on a glass, I saw a face that was mine but I didn't recognise.

I saw fear and delima.

I close my eyes and decided to step out.

"Lady Hakari, I know you are hurt. But this isn't the right way to take revenge"

"You don't know anything!"

"But I know you, you are more than this evil doing. Don't let anger consume your emotions, you are a good person. You care about your people and your land. Don't be like this"

She finally calms down, the place are no longer grumbling and the vines slowly retreating back.

"But they died innocent"

Her voice trembles and I can see a tear flows down her cheeks.

I don't know about shadows or senti, but I know that they are also vulnerable.

"That is why you need to calm down and talk it out"

"No! No! Isfail deserves to die he killed my peo-"

She didn't finish what she was saying when a spike was stabbed at her stomach.

Why? I thought senti can't die?

"I will finish you first before you kill me"

I look at Isfail as he was responsible for the spike that made Lady Hakari Bleed.

And I notice Lily was trying to get up. I ran to her and help her.

"Why does Isfail manages to stabbed her?"

"Shadows are the only one who is capable to kill a senti, S-senti can't hurt themselves and so as human."

So that explains it. But I just wanna punch Isfail right now, Lady Hakari is finally calm down minute ago. But now she is angry again.

"You murderer!"

Lady Hakari shouted and the tears that fell from the ground made the ground turn apart and large vines grew and blew a green smoke.

"Cover your  nose, its poison"

Kung Goro spoke, and I  let out a big sigh. King Goro is fine.

"Nami, are you okay?"

I look at Usuin, his face are swollen and there is blood all over him.

"I'm fine, you're the one who is not okay"

"I'm okay"

He smiled.

How can he manage to smile at this time, I know he only reassures me so I won't worry. But I am glad he is okay.

"Let's finish this here, right now"

Isfail  said as he dodge the spike  Lady Hakari throws at him. Lily on the other hand is  trembling and crying.

She was really scared, and with Isfail's state right  now. He is likely to die first. I ran near them.

"Stop it Isfail, just bargain with her!"

I shouted but he wants listening. Someone grab my arm and dragged me away.

"What are you doing, you'll die if you get closer to them"

Usuin remarks as I grab my arm back.

"All of us will die if we don't stop them"

"You can't stop magic Nami, we are no match to them"

I stop for a moment, its true. Fighting with powerful shadows can only lead us to death. But all this journey from the beginning up till now.

We still manage to survive even though all danger we face are no match to us. But with great plan, we survived.

I was about to say something when Isfail's scream filled the room.

Lily gasp as I look at Isfail. Both his arms are pinned to the wall by spike. Unlike human, shadows blood are a bit darker. And I am in a verge of puking.
