Rifters: the lost tribe

Chapter 4: ember

Chapter 4
Ember

Ember stared at Apala as he stood up again, he had kinda just laid there after she had socked him. "Uhh... I was expecting something to happen, sorry." She stood up and outstretched her large wings, readying to lift off. Apala shook his feathers and fur out, coughing a little. "It's- okay I guess" "Lets go the closer we get to Ignith the better." Ember said, trotting over to the edge of the platform. Apala launched off the platform barrel rolling around. Ember stepped backwards and fell off the platform. She dove and threw open her wings, sending herself at the tree with lightning speed. She flapped hard and went up and joined Apala beside him. It was really easy to fly in the Rift. It felt like swimming but you could breathe. It felt free, this was Ember's safe place, though she had to die to get there. Apala  flew upside down comfortably floating around. Ember dove onto him and slammed him down onto the ring of Blue glowing nothingness circling the tree.

Frost moved in a flash, Ciala had a new open wound and Crow was speeding at Whisp who looked terrified. Frost flew at him as his sword slammed down. Blood spattered everywhere and the sound rang through the room.

Ember rolled and skidded to a stop as she flew off of Apala making sure he hadn't landed too hard and gotten hurt. She stopped and stared at the huge tree. Apala's eyes went from gold and purple to white as he skidded. Ember turned around and noticed him. "Jeez, did I knock the shit out of you?"  Apala suddenly spoke in a very strange voice, it sounded like thousands of dragons were speaking all at once from all around. It sounded like the wyverns and dragons Ember had watched die the night that she got her scar. "A war that has lasted shall end. The tribe of the dead was reborn and renewed. But a night of pain will become a morning of glory as she finds those lost in the grief. The tribe shall stand and fight for life and for death. But, to avail is the hound of hell who shall rebel." Ember stared with wide teary eyes, she knew exactly what this meant.
