Cold Heart

Chapter 12

Finding ourselves in the first room we had all woken up in we took our places along the wall. Everyone stood with their backs to the wall, allowing the golden magic to conjure our suits on us, a dark blue suit with silver designs painting onto my body. Crossing my arm over my chest a golden bracket clicked into place, connecting all of us.

The Domo was set on course to the volcano while we waited to go into battle.

"Thena, I can handle Ikaris" I told her while we discussed the plan one final time, making sure everything was perfect.

"I know you can, but we need you protecting the others with Makkari" She reminded of why I shouldn't, knowing I would kill Ikaris if left to fight him alone.

"If you knock him down, don't let him get back up" I ordered Thena who nodded along with certainty. Makkari stepped over to me and I knew it was time to go, giving her a nod before she sped the group of us onto the beach.

"It's time to put a god to sleep." Sersi stated, looking at the soon to erupt volcano.

Druig clicked his bracelet in place, starting the bond while the rest of us copied him, Druig sending me a final nod of reassurance. A gold aura floated around us, Sersi, Makkari and I lifting off the ground as a conection was formed to Druig who soon lifted up himself, golden eyes channeling the power of the eternals. Opening his gold eyes a ball of energy formed around us sending out a pluse.

My mind was suddenly racing, memory's and thoughts filling my head as though my life was flashing before my eyes. Mesopotamia, Babylon, Tenochtitlan, South Dakota, everything was coming back to me.

Ikaris flew down from the air, shooting Druig in the back and breaking the connection, leaving Druig ti tumble to the ground with a grunt.

"Ah" I dropped to my feet.

"I should've done this five centuries ago." Ikaris stated, catching my attention as my eyes went wide, Ikaris picking Druig up by the throat and flying off with him.

"No, no, no" I grew panicked, heart beating rapidly as I could only watch helplessly. Makkari and Sersi looked up as well with their own fear. Once high enough Ikaris threw Druig towards he ground, beaming a laser at him to drill him into the ground and kill him.

"No!" I cried out as Ikaris stopped. He turned towards the Domo, flying towards it to shoot it down as well. The Domo came crashing towards us, Sersi raising her arms to protect herself while I stared at it coldly, almost daring it to hit me. Makkari sped us out of the way just in time before rushing to save Thena and Phastos from inside, pulling them to stand beside us. Sersi stood in shock while Thena and Phastos worried about what went wrong. Landing behind us Ikaris pulled my attention again. I slowly turned to face him with a look as cold as ice on my face.

"Druig's gone. It's over." He stated sternly, facing the group of us.

"Not yet" I shook my head. I shot an icicle at him, aiming straight for his head. He tilted his head out of the way just in time, the icicle nicking his cheek instead, forming a cut that began to leak blood.

The others looked to me, catching the look to kill clear on my face while I marched towards Ikaris with cold blue eyes. He shot a laser beam at me, but I was quick to form a wall of ice, pushing it towards him and knocking him far away from us. Once he was further down the beach I ran after him, leaving the others to figure out our next step.

The two of us fought, exchanging hits here and there. Ikaris shot another laser at me which I dodged with the tilt of my head. My glared focused on him while ice covered my knuckles and I charged forward. I landed a punch across his face before he punched me back, knocking me to the ground. He went to stomp on me but I rolled out of the way before the ground started shaking.
