MyStory Book 1: A Cursed Destiny

Chapter 30: The Fight

I plopped down on my bed, exhausted. FINALLY. I FINISHED ALL THIS FIXING AND PAPERWORK. I mean, you'd think it wouldn't be too bad, but there was so much stuff that needed fixing. I closed my eyes, and drifted off.

Storm's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, able to adjust to the blackness of the room quickly. Swinging my legs off of the bed, a list of things to do started running through my head, but I pushed it aside. I have more... entertaining things I could be doing right now.
Walking outside, I was met with the black sky of the End. Everything seemed more orderly than it was before, so I decided to go for a run. As I jogged across the huge terrain, I noticed that the Planet of the Dragon was in chaos, and headed over there. Extending my blood red wings, I glided high above the ground, and landed on one of the platforms. Surveying the area below, I found that someone- rather, some people- had gone to the End to fight the dragon. Looking closer at the mortals, my blood ran cold.
I know that mark, I thought, my eyes widening as I saw the mark on one of the person's cape. Khattee's mark.
Making eye contact with the Dragon, I jerked my head slightly, as if to say "Go! I'll take care of this!" The dragon nodded, and flew off as I shifted into my dragon form.
"There it is!" One of the mortals yelled. They pulled out crossbows, and fired as I dived at them. I flicked my claw as I soared over them, sending one of them flying into a tower, and snapping his neck. He succumbed to the brutal environment of the End, and dissolved, but I got a good look at his chest plate. Definitely Khattee's mark.
I landed a ways away from them, and when they were about 50 meters away from me, shifted back into my mostly human form, black eyes narrowed with rage. The mortals stopped, and stared at me, terrified. I stormed up to the first one, and grabbed his cloak, making sure that he wouldn't get away, and slammed him into a tower.
"Why do you have Khattee's mark?" I snarled, my eyes changing to my demonic eyes (completely black (even the whites) except for the pupils, which are red). He whimpered. "Answer me!" I barked, shaking him. One of his buddies spoke up.
"K-Khattee sent us here." I dropped the man, and looked at the owner of the voice.
"Did he now?" I asked, slowly walking towards him. "And why did he send you here?" The group tremble in fear from the calmness in my voice.
"H-He didn't say." I stopped.
"Ah," I began. "I see. I'll let you live for now, but I'll let the Dragon know that if you haven't left in five minutes, he has my full permission to kill you all. Same with if you ever return." I turned and looked at the Dragon who was sitting on the tower, then summoned a portal before walking off.
Plopping down in the bed, I transferred all of that information to EnderSight's head. She'll need to know.

EnderSight's POV

I woke up slowly, in a different position than before, but that was the least of my worries. I slung on my war coat, and stormed outside, to where Shadow Horn was waiting.
"Morning End- EnderSight?" He questioned, not intimidated by my deadly aura. Ignoring him, I walked a distance to where I was alone, then teleported out.

Slamming open the doors to Khattee's sanctuary (we all have one), he looked up from his work. I stormed up to him, demanding answers.
"Why did you attack the End?" I roared. His eyes widened slightly.
"What do you mean?" He asked, supposedly innocent. I snarled.
"Don't play dumb with me. I caught a group of mortals red-handed, claiming you had sent them to the End to attack the Dragon. Why?" He folded his hands in front of him calmly.
"It was a test. To see how you would react to minor chaos in your realm." My eyes narrowed. I could tell he was lying, since his folded hands gave it away.
"Really? Well, last time I checked, it went against Spirit's Code to attack a world without the ruler's permission." I retorted, crossing my arms. He scowled, knowing that I was calling his bluff.
"Just like it is to have a blood-related kid?" He snapped at me, making my eyes widen. "Just like it is to fall in love- much more with another Spirit?" If he thought I was backing down now that he struck a nerve, he was dead wrong.
"You had a blood-related kid too, Khattee!" I yelled.
"That was different. The Codes were still being developed at the time. We made these Codes so things wouldn't get out of control-"
"You mean so you could keep us all in line?" I was practically screaming now as my rage just kept growing. My purple life energy began to swirl around my feet, showing that I was absolutely pissed. "You had a kid after the blood rule was made, damnit! Don't tell me you forgot about that!
"You made those rules with Spirit, Khattee, and as Civils, those rules were practically carved into your mind! Just because you're a Civil doesn't make you any higher level of authority than us! You can't tell me that I'm doing it wrong I you broke the exact same rules!"
"Well at least I didn't kill a Spirit!"
"She forgave me! She said that she understood why I had to kill her! She told me that she was being possessed, and by her own goddamn son!" His eyes widened slightly upon hearing that, but I wasn't done. I was right in front of him now, jabbing a finger into his chest. "Last time I checked, if it's an emergency, or you're defending yourself, it's okay to kill! You even said yourself that she needed to be restrained, well guess what! The only way that could happen is if we killed her! But of course you couldn't dirty your hands, it would ruin your public image. How about send the newbie that everyone knows because she can kill people instead, that way when you need to defend yourself, you can bring up that fact, then twist everyone's minds into thinking that I'm the bad guy! Then you can sit high and mighty on your damn throne, pretending that you're good guy because everyone worships you!" Khattee's eyes were wide open at that point, and he seemed deflated under my presence.
"E-EnderSight, please stop..." I heard WindStorm stammer from the doorway, and my head snapped over in her direction so I could glare at her. "You're scaring us..." The rest of the Spirits were behind her, eyes wide in shock or fear. I slowly took in my appearance. My skin had started to turn black, my wings, tail and ears were spiked, my life energy was swirling all throughout the room, casting shadows on my face, and my eyes were narrowed, slitted and black.
"E-EnderSight, I-"
"Save your breath." I interrupted, turning towards the exit where the other Spirits were standing. "If you're wanting to keep your high and mighty throne, then I'm leaving."
"What?"
"You heard me." As I started walking towards the door, he spoke up again.
"You won't be able to take care of the End. If you're leaving for a long time, then I'll be forced to take over it." I smirked.
"Have fun trying. It'll be sealed. They can take care of themselves." With that, I brushed past the other Spirits. StoneDirt grabbed my shoulder.
"Where will you go?" I shrugged, removing his hand and answering his question.
"I'll just travel." And with that, I walked off, with six Spirits staring after me.
