Dark Light

Chapter 52 - Essence of Soul

Tears flow down in the eyes of Queen  Ociaeno as she gets hit by the water and washes away from the shore. She clenches her fists as it gets under the wet sand, grinding her teeth as tears flow down on her eyes — she is in the deep of the abyss. She goes up and wipes her tears as she can hear someone calling her, “Queen!” However, she is clueless on who is calling her.

Valize jumps into the air and lands in front of the queen alongside the others to cover her up. “Are you okay?!”

Queen Ociaeno is visibly panicking — she is shaking and doesn't know what to do, her tears blocking her vision and it hurts due to irritation from the sea water. “Get out!” She said as she creates enormous waves and splashes Valize and others. All of them fall down and stand up — Valize goes to her once again.

    “Queen… We are not here to hurt you. We are saving you.” Valize calmly said and approached the queen — she is cold as ice.

    “You’re cold…” The other member said.

    “I have to see my husband.” As soon as she said it, the king and others came out of the black circle.

    “Ociaeno!” The king shouted and came to hug her tightly — both of them cried.

    “Our son is safe now… The serpent said that they are going to attack him.” The queen said those sentences and the king let go.

    “What do you mean?” He asked.

    “The guy named Nilfred is going to attack our son and steal the crystal in him. The serpent said that the elements are in danger — the element of Earth is already in their hands!”

Trisha walks slowly to the two — she is crying silently, walks slowly and steadily. As she is walking, she says a few things. “That guy pretended to be Gabriel. Gabriel is already dead before the Traveling Performers get in here. Nilfred, that guy, is the mastermind behind this destruction.”

    “That voice…” The queen whispers to herself and looks at Trisha. Her eyes widened and she couldn’t believe it. The queen runs towards her while shouting her name, “Trisha! Trisha!” The queen hugs Trisha and so Trisha hugs her back. “I missed you… My dear little sister… I’m so sorry… I am very sorry…”

    “I’m so sorry too. I ran away from home…” Trisa said as she cries hardly

The queen wipes down her tears and so does Trisha’s. “We are going to win this fight!” The queen said and stood up. “The water crystal holder is no longer in this land. The power of the water element is at its peak — the crystal holds the soul of the water element and keeps it on its minimal power. The water element will only disappear if it has been corrupted. But now, it is not corrupted, we will fight!” The queen said and the water at sea splashes big waves into the shore and everyone is floating on it back to the kingdom.

Aiden sends sound waves to Nilfred and he is blown away once again. “Is that all you got?! You are weak head on but you are only strong when you are in the shadow, lurking in the dark and waiting for your prey, huh?!” Aiden said mightily.

Nilfred is lying on the ground and gathering his thoughts. “... Sound waves… Huh… Sound waves… But… he is saying… Music Magic… Is he really a… Music Magic holder… There’s only one way to find out…” He said to himself.

Soul Magic - 3rd Phase: Control

Ten people within a five meter radius suddenly fall down. The other people around are clueless — they tried to approach them and their eyes suddenly turn red. They look at the people around and mercilessly kill them using their own body that can be deformed into any shape. Numerous blood scatters around the area once again as well many shouts can be heard. Aiden doesn't know what to do, he is choosing between facing Nilfred or saving those people around. Nilfred stands up and talks to him, “Is that all you got? You are weak when you get tricked but only strong when not. Your small brain probably couldn’t keep up with mine. Your brain is full of music and blocks other information that you need.” Nilfred mocks him and laughs a bit which quickly fades with a daring look. “What are you going to do? Beg for me to stop?” He asked Aiden.
