Nyx's Phantasma Act 2

Chapter 22: Magic Curse of Yamoth

Chapter 22: Magic Curse of Yamoth

As we set sail August invited everyone over for a meeting.

"Should we split up our team?" August asks us.

Alina asks, "Why?"

"Think about it, Damon and Vesh are moving quicker than us."

Hyde turns around, "I'm sure Lucy can fight them off..."

Lucy shouts, "WHAT! I am not splitting off from Hyde!"

"Lucy, this is a matter of if I will find Nyx or not—"

"I don't care about that, all I care about is being with Hyde!"

Jasper shivers, "our encounter with Chigou happened because we split off... I don't know if I'd want to experience something like that again..."

August sighs, "Fine... But also our last encounter with Chigou made me realize... Our group is just way too large... We'll need to split up at least when we arrive on the island... One will remain on the ship while the others will explore."

I ask, "How are we splitting?"

August points, "Lyn, Eloria, Hyde, Rayth and I will explore. Lucy, you protect the rest."

Lucy jumps up and hugs Hyde, "You're making me go away from him again?!"

Hyde sighs, "Lucy, you will have all the time in the world once we finish this quest... So please."

Lucy stood back, "You sure?!"

"Yes..."

That didn't sound too comforting but... it works. Then soon after we arrived at Arcana Island, we split off, the place felt mystic, the forest had small glittering light as we walked through.

Rayth asks, "So... who are we looking for?"

"Yamoth, or better known as Melchior. A master of arcane arts... he and Yak have more knowledge on this world, and have contacted Nyx before. Both are truly powerful..."

August smiles, "Let us keep on trekking forward."

As we followed along the giving path we came across a village... With so many villagers living...

Hyde was also shocked, "Hm, usually there aren't that many humans living on these islands... Due to the nature of the Twelve Children... This is unusual, don't they fear Yamoth's reign?"

A girl walks up, "Who are you..."

August walked forward, "I am August Armbrust, but answer me this... why is there a village here?"

The girl had a pointy hat with a staff in her hands. She wore round glasses as she points her staff at us,

"Outsiders shouldn't have stepped into this place, don't ask me questions... Depending on your answer my decision will change..."

Rayth asks, "We've come from Nox? This is still a part of Nox isn't it?"

Hyde nods, "Yes, although... Say young girl–"

"I'm Magi."

"Magi, what is this village called?"

"Hecate Village, now that I've answered your—"

Hyde snaps his fingers, "I see..."

I turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Hecate used to be the name of a powerful individual. Born under Nyx's Nightmare he saved millions. Yes his name was Hecate Magica, why is his name..."
