Harmonic Sync

Chapter 29: Eldrant

                  

We had all boarded the alboire the next day and I felt nervous thinking about using my Goddess Fonic Hymns for the first time since my surgery. I clenched my fists in my lap as we got closer to Eldrant.

"Are you alright with this, Zora?" Sync asked me in a low voice. I looked at him and smiled lightly.

"I have to try don't I?" He frowned but dropped it, he knew it was useless to try and stop me now.

I shivered a little as we stopped.

"It's up to you, Zora." Our pilot said and I rose from my seat.

"Alright, here goes nothing." I walked to the ladder that led outside. I climbed and stood on top of the alboire. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"There's another world inside of me that you may never see. There're secrets in this life I can't hide. Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find. Maybe it's too far away or maybe I'm just blind..." Everything seemed to be going in slow motion and finally, I looked up at the planet storm and saw it was fading a little.

State your purpose for seeking out my help...

I heard in my head and I knew the voice somehow. This was the voice of the Goddess. She was answering the call I had made after the replica Ion disappeared. The will from when both Ion's died brought her out to my will.

"For the sake of protecting the world that I care about. The world that everyone here cares about. And for the ones who have died for the world we wish to bring to light, I need your power more than ever. I need to be able to stop Van from destroying everything we all have worked so hard to create. I need your power!" My body glowed brighter than ever before and that's when everyone aside from Noelle climbed up to see what was happening.

"Zora!" Sync called out.

"GIVE ME THE POWER TO PROTECT MY FRIENDS!" I called out to the heavens above and the brightness increased sharply. Finally, it dimmed and faded, but I felt different than I had before, like something was surging inside of me just waiting to be set free.

"Zora, what just happened?" Luke asked.

"Guy, do you remember when you saw me in the chapel praying?" I asked him.

"Yeah."

"I was praying the Goddess, not Yulia. I prayed to her that I would have the power to protect my friends. I never thought she would respond to me, until now..." Everyone was shocked by what I had just told them, but I simply looked at the planet storm. "Get ready to make Eldrant fall." I said and jumped off the alboire straight for the planet storm.

"Zora!?" Sync called out but I knew what I was doing. The second my body touched it I felt the surge of power form in my hands. I touched the barrier and in seconds it disappeared. The alboire flew through and I dropped down on to it.

"That was amazing." Luke said as we landed.

"Thank you." I said lightly as I felt the slight ache in my chest.

I had to be careful or this would be the last time I got to talk to my friends. We all headed inside the fortress quickly while we still held the element of surprise, though I doubted it with what I just did.

I looked around and finally I saw a building being created from the replication process that was happening all around this place. Guy froze in his steps and rushed into the house and then looked around shocked.

"This is my manor...this is definitely Hod, being recreated." I nodded once.

"Of course, I knew that from the beginning, that he wanted to recreate Hod. Yet, I'm still surprised." Sync looked down and I touched his shoulder lightly. "Sync, we both have caused this. Not just you, we have a chance to stop Van here and now. But I need you with me, can you handle this?" He looked at me shocked.
