The Wings of War: The Secret Labryinth

23. The Emerald

𝗔s the bystanders watched the two wand wielders shoot beams at eachother, Axel covered his face back to the Stone Wall and turned to the others.
“We need to stop Silver,” Axel suggested. “you never know, Reven could be struggling.”
Oliver seemed to slowly nod, with CJ considering it, with Ghost's eyes peeking out, with Alzaro and Liam kneeling, behind them.
“It sounds like we should be doing it,” Oliver said. “but how? It's gonna be not as easy as it seemed.”
And then, Ghost suddenly disappeared, but no one noticed.
Axel nodded, “True, but maybe we can throw something at him. Like.. a rock, or something? Surely there has to be a few rocks around,” he examined the area, checking for rocks. “they're tiny rocks..?”
Oliver slammed the wall.
And then suddenly, Oliver caught sight of a rock floating mid-air, with him saying: “Boss. Check this Out!”
Axel turned, and saw the floating rock, through the beaming light, they both winced their eyes, with the others not noticing.
Suddenly, the rock collided with Silver's ribcage as the beams suddenly sunk to the ground, with Silver grabbing what appeared to be the air, but it was actually Ghost.

Even Reven seemed confused.
But then, a scream could be heard as Silver's wand was being pressed into Ghost's torso, with lightning streaks coming out of it as Ghost fell to the ground, dropping the rock beforehand.
Steam seemed to rise up from Ghost's shirt as he laid there, with his eyes cold, and his face was as stone as ever, except, he was pale, not stone.
Axel and Oliver were horrified.
But then, Axel noticed that Reven dropped his Staff, and now took out his steel longsword, and was now clashing with Silver's sword, which seemed to be made out of dark energy.
Surprisingly, Silver's dark sword didn't seem to do much damage to Reven's as the Sword seemed to be unscathed, as it was growing a red aura, with the clashes being sparked in the air as more light beams could be seen, shaking the dunegon.
The Holy Emerald was seen in the armor, occasionally shaking as the demonic voices were telling Silver things.
Shut it, Silver told it, and it started making more demonic noises, but it didn't seem to effect Reven as he was carelessly waving his sword around, clashing with Silver's as Clang! sounds could be heard.
“I can't watch this anymore,” Axel said, slowly crawling out of the stone wall, hearing Alzaro murmur, “Get back!”
But Axel didn't listen, despite the intimidating sounds coming out of the swords, with the small space waiting for the Holy Emerald to fit in, with the gem shaking more and more.
Come on.. come on...
He was getting closer, he was gonna free Reven from the endless clashing.
He had his arm out.
Until, one swing from Reven, took the Holy Emerald out of it's hole, with it floating in the air, and caught sight of everyone, with Silver's eyes widening in shock, and Reven seemed unfazed, like usual.
Though, even if the Gem seemed impossible to catch, despite its rumors of it burning, Axel took the leap.
And then, instead of landing in Axel's hand, it went off course, and then, it landed in the center of his armor.
Right in the hole, perfectly fitting it, as his armor started glowing, and before they knew it, Axel disappeared.
Everyone was shocked, even Reven was.
“AXEL!!!!” Oliver shouted, jumping out of the Stone Wall and running to where Axel was.

24 is soon!
