Shesa landed on a black land surface. She looked around and called the fire gians' name. She heard someone land behind her and she spun around. Fyki was standing not to far away. She had her sword out. Fyki lunged. Shesa conjured her trident and blocked the attack.

"Fyrca, I'm on your side!" Fyki pushed Shesa back and tried to strike downwards. Shesa caught her blade in one of the spaces between the pointed fork part. "What are you doing?"

"I'm doing my job." Fyki answered. They clashed again. "And I am not on your side; my name is Fyki not Fyrca."

"No, it's not!" Shesa said. She used the staff part to block a low attack and tried to counter. "Zime did something, didn't he?"

"He made me realize that he was right." Fyki stated plainly. "Since you are here, I might as well help you do the same!"

Fyki raised her sword and they battled. The two kept pressing their weapons against the one of their opponents.

"You are not alright. Please, Fyrca, let us help you!" Shesa pleaded. Fyki got angry at this and she used her anger to strike again.

"My name. Is not. FYRCA!" On the last word, she pushed Shesa to the ground. Her eyes glowed and started to have small amounts of smoke and light coming off of them. She rose into the air and began to glow. Her sword levitated in the air next to her. Shesa got up and flew near her.

"Fyrca, please." Shesa pleaded. Fyki stared at her with her blank eyes.

"I am not Fyrca." Fyki's voice was steady and had a sort of resonance about it. "My name is Fyki. You are one of the gians that have decided to fight Zime and now me."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"No. It does." Fyki raised her hands and an orange beam shot out of it. Shesa dodged out of the way.

"I don't want to fight you."

"Then you shouldn't have chosen the other side."

"I'm not the one who switched sides!" Shesa said. Fyki grabbed her sword and she lunged at her. Shesa used the staff part of her trident to block the attack. She kicked Fyki in the stomach. Fyki faked right and attacked from the left. Shesa was able to block it in time.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because it's my mission to."

"No, it's not. Who told you that?"

"A good friend. And I will harm you if you do not leave!"

"I can't leave; I will not let you hurt the galephra!"

"Fine. Then I guess I will have to end this battle." Fyki began to glow again, leaving her sword in the air once more. Shesa found something within her and she started to glow too. Her eyes began fully blue. Her light skin radiated energy. Blue energy started to course through her trident. She lifted up her trident, aimed it at Fyki and let the energy go. The beam of energy hit Fyki's own beam of energy that she had sent. They were locked in an energy fight. Shesa couldn't let Fyki win, however. She let go of the beam that she had used and dodged Fyki's beam. She then channelled all the power she could muster into one attack.

Fyki was covered in the power, which neutralized her. It didn't change her back to Fyrca. She was stuck in ice. Shesa floated down and landed on the land that Fyki had made not too long ago. The rocks, without Fyki's source of corruption to guide them, slowly shrank. When Shesa awoke, she was underwater. She rose to the top and looked at what she had done. Fyki's head was turned to one side and had been using her arms to block the beam of energy that was sent at her. Shesa put her hand on the ice. There was at least a half meter between her and Fyki.

Tears started to fill Shesa's eyes. She wished it hadn't happened. She shrunk down, onto the surface of the water. She felt cold inside. She didn't want to hurt her kin even if they had been on different sides. Her kin was still in there; she knew she was. The water around her began to freeze. It turned to ice as she wept. Slowly, the ice began to grow and the ice covered the top portion of Giri. Shesa got up and wiped her eyes. She flew close to the water at top speed. Where she went, ice followed. The ice made a bridge from the top of Giri to the bottom by Daeki.

Shesa looked at the corruption cloud. She glowed in the air and a beam of light was shot into the cloud. It turned to snow as she pushed it back to the border. She made a huge ice wall separating Daeki from Aqueca. She then returned to where Fyki was frozen. She made a huge mountain to cover her up. She caused the ice to be thick. She then made a cave in the ground for herself, closing it off. She did not want to see anyone. She did not want to be reminded of what she had done.
