Battle of the Zodiacs

{ 19 } The First Relic

A/N: GAH WHY IS THIS CHAPTER SO SHORT?!?? But yeah, this chapter is only like 800 words... sorry...

Third Person POV:
"Gah! Why won't this web break?", Willow muttered, struggling to move her arms. The spider had left a while ago and Willow wasn't getting very far by struggling.
Hello?
Yo yo yo!
Who is this?
It's me, Summer!
You're awake?
Shouldn't I be asking the same thing?
Wait. How can I talk to you? The jail barrier...
I broke it!
You did?! Awesome!
Yeah, it took me a while but, I managed! Everyone else is asleep.
Oh, okay! What are your surroundings?
Uh, well I'm in a jail cell...
Um okay...
Anyway! This is Willow, right?
Yup, that's me!
Okay, where is everybody? We've been waiting for a while now...
Uh... about that... I'm kinda stuck in a spider web...
Wh-What? How can you be-
Long story short, I was battling a huge spider that was guarding my relic.
Ohhhh! Did you manage to get the relic?
Nope, if I did, everyone would've been out of here in no time!
Ah! Are you alone...? Where are the others?
I have no idea, I can't see them from where I am.
I'll try to send a message to them, good luck!
Thanks Summer!

Willow's POV:
I tried breaking the web again, but still no luck. Oh my gawd, why did I not think of this before?!? Gah I'm such a baka! I thought, I turned into my centaur form. The web broke and I was finally free. Hah! Take that, Izaka! Now, I need to reach my relic! I hopped across the rocks in joy and bliss. I needed to be quiet in case Izaka came back. "SHEEEEE HASSSS ESCAPEDDDDD!", Izaka shouted entering the room. Well, frick. Wait, she came from the entrance... no, no no no! "IZAKA! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIENDS?!??", I shouted, enraged and worried at the same time.
"OOHHHHHH SHHHEEEE HASSSSS FRRRIENDDSSSSSSS?!?! WHEREEEEE AREEEE THESEEEEE LITTLEEEEE SSSSSNACKSSSSS?", Izaka said/screamed, now interested in where my friends were. "Izaka! Where are my friends?!?", I screamed. I didn't know what to do; should I continue walking closer to the relic or go back to help my friends?
Willow!
Summer?
Ya, it's me again. I was able to talk to everyone and I told them where we were.
Thanks! Tell them that I'm alright okay?
I will!
Alright, Summer is taking care of the group, so I can focus on capturing my relic. "Oh well, I guess you can have my friends, Izaka! I'll just go grab my relic and I'll be on my way!", I called out, trying to frustrate Izaka. "GNAHHHH NOOOOO! IZAKA WILLLL NOTTTTT LETTTT THATTTTT HAPPENNNN!", Izaka yelled as they ran towards me. Fortunately I was a few steps ahead of him. I hopped backwards onto a rock and shot Izaka near the shoulder. He dodged the arrow and continued to chase after me. I was getting closer to my relic as I jumped. The glow was getting bigger and more bright, as if it was acknowledging my presence. "NOOOOO! THEEEE RELICCCC MUSSSSTTTT STAYYYY WITTTTHHHHH MEEEEE!", Izaka yelled as he lunged at me. It landed on the rock behind me, I started to sprint across the rocks. The relic was so close! C'mon you can do this Willow. I said to myself, this was the reason I came to Wingdale. I couldn't let my friends down...

Third Person POV:
The relic was only 15 feet away from Willow. As she jumped on the last set of rocks Izaka's eyes were filled with terror. "NOOO! NOOO, NOOO, NOOO!", They yelled, Willow had jumped on the landing, merely inches from her relic. The relic glimmered as it started to rise to Willow. Willow opened her hands and the relic's glow embodied Willow. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!", Izaka screeched, the relic had disappeared into Willow's soul and body. The purple glow still surrounded Willow. Willow summoned her bow and shot towards Izaka. The arrow managed to hit Izaka in the chest, a blood piercing scream was heard from Izaka as they put one of their many hands onto the wound. Izaka started to lose balance from all the blood loss. No...! Willow thought, panicking. "I-Izaka I-", Willow began, she was cut off by Izaka. "Noo, I-I should've let you take my relic instead of guarding it. I apologize...", Izaka said, they had laid on the rock. "No Izaka, you were only doing your job and I thank you for that." Willow said as she hopped on the rocks to Izaka. "I'm sorry Izaka, death wasn't the answer, now I know that, even if it's too late.", Willow said as she sat beside the beast. "Please... t-take one of my eyes when you leave... and... t-tell the tale of Izaka the Guardian...", Izaka told Willow as their eyes shut, for the final time...
