Chapter 8

Recap: " I'm here to kill you" said the huntsman.

Aiser and the bond of Merlin and the Elder Trees◆◇◆Chapter 8

When I first heard his answer, I thought this was a joke. Then he stepped forward and unsheathed hos sword. Meanwhile I was controlling the water to go up his legs. I made the water the same temperature as his body so he wouldn't notice that the there was anything on his legs. Then when the water had reached his knees, I solidified the molecules and hardened it into ice. He looked up at me and smirked.

"So it's true, you are the last Water Elemental" he said

"it would seem so? " I said , my tone dripping with furious sarcasm.

He clicked his sword at my ice two times and the ice trickled down back as water.

"it turns out there's only two water Elementals. My mind went straight to the story Divinia had told me . Karlin and Aiser. The children of the Elemental and the Eternal.

Could this mean? ,

"Wait, before you kill me or anything what's your name"

"It's Aiser" he said.

No way. This could not be true. Cause if it was, this meant that Aiser was my brother. We were the only Elementals bearing those names. I rushed forward and hugged him, almost lifting him off the ground. I inhaled his deep scent of burning wood and berries.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Yeah, I was actually not going to kill you, but we need to escape, if Principal Osoah finds out I let you go, we're dead"

"So we're really siblings?"

"Yep, the only two siblings in the whole world of Elementals"

"Wait, but who's older? "I asked.

"Me, of course" he said grinning maniacally.

I punched him playfully on the arm, before hugging hum again. He pulled away from me and said,

"We should pack some food and drinks for the journey"

"Yeah"

I crept out of the room,Aiser behind me. I stopped at the edge of a corridor. There were footsteps echoing from the end of the corridor. I Looked and saw a familiar figure. Divinia!. She'd probably been looking for the hospital area so she could see me, but why this time of the night.

I rushed at her from behind and clamped my hand over her mouth but then I said" relax, it's me, Karlin"

She stopped and I took her to the place where Aiser crouched waiting for me. He looked like he wanted to attack but I told him to calm down.

As soon as I let go of her mouth she started talking,

"They told us you were dead! Principal Osoah lied" she rattled off" what happened to you and who's that cutie" she said pointing to Aires.

I blushed and said long story, the thing is we have to escape and I need you to get us some food and call..Merlin"

"Ohhhhh, nice, but I'm coming with ya"
