Annaveri

Chapter 18

To all the lovely readers out there, here's a quick recap of whats goin on! C.J. gets sick soon after the starting of a war between the bad bad bad guys and the slightly good but still demon guys. Sio resides in help from the Dragon Queen of Omorfia, Ezperansa, leaving them to talk about things that leads Sio to make the choice to leave everyone behind and go fill out a mission of his own that he says will "Help". Zekke gets his fair warning to cool his temper and put aside his differences before things go downhill for everyone. In this chapter i decided to skip ahead by a good 3 weeks since Sio is left, but things didn't change much. Sebastian was seen and attacked by Hataki, one of Hero's servants, and Hataki and Chaldis, or Isabella, have been given the mission to locate and take the Antreodites, worrying about the others later.

"Iesana stay close to your brother! Ypolous make sure she doesn't get hurt!"

"And practice your power, the both of you!" Shaking their heads, they both smiled and watched their two small children run into the fields in front of their house. Laughing and leaping around, tag was played first, then hide and seek, then power practice. "Ohhh, I wish I could do that!"

"Maybe you can! You try it!"

"My power is like mom's, look!" Opening her hand and looking up at the blueish-purple sky, she smiled. "Lookie! Ursa Minor!" A small bear seemed to create itself from thin air. It grunted loudly, stars and blue misty forming it's transparent fur, before disappearing back into thin air. "That's amazing! I can only do what dad does, that sucks." Ypolous cooed, but both of them stopped and slowly looked up after feeling a blast of heat from the distance. As they watched in horror as their hometown slowly went up in flames, they froze completely. "YPOLOUS AND IESANA, GET BACK NOW!" Their dad screamed to them. Ypolous did as he was told and immediately began running back to the house, but Iesana couldn't move. "IESANA! NOW!" Their dad screamed, but she couldn't. Ypolous stopped and looked back at her. Seeing her frozen, and fire quickly starting to surround her, he went back and ran to save her, but stopped as a man stepped through the flames, towering over the both of them with a huge, fang filled smile. "YPOLOUS!" Their father screamed, as more of the creepy lookin men emerged from the flames. Without hesitation, their father, Jeastonne, ran to them, willing to risk his life to save his children. "IESANA, YPOLOUS, RUN!" The man out stretched his hand to grab the two, but blue flames emerged around all of them, and blasted the men back. More stepped out as he wrapped his arms around his children, and with a loud yell, he released a large power explosion. Ypolous gasped and sprung up from the ground he laid on, he was asleep, and all this was a dream. Or simply, a memory. He looked around and gazed up quickly at the night sky that surrounded him, tears steaming down his cheeks as he looked at the stars. Jeznee laid next to him, asleep. C.J. sat up against a tall rock, asleep as well. Everyone else was no where to be found. Ypolous got up and flicked his long tail, then gently hovered it over the ground and started walking away from the two. He followed subconsciously a large, glowing star in the sky which led him to a big open field. Peering into it, he watched as glowing bugs helped light the way, and in the distance laid the ruins of his home. His fathers screams echoed faintly in his ears as he walked to the ruins, noticing the skinny, dark line that circled around it. "I know this is where I belong..." He mumbled to himself through his tears, his hand reaching up to touch the burnt wood, "but I can't leave everyone else...they're family now... and I don't want to lose more of them... they are all I have left..." The touch of his hand made the wood glow a vibrant blue that spread through another piece of wood, and soon all of it. He backed up and watched as the blue light suddenly became mist that surrounded the house, forming a replica of it when he and his family lived there. It formed his mother and father hugging on their front porch, and him and his sister running around in the yard, petting and playing with the creatures that surrounded them. Ypolous smiled as he watched his younger self and sister run around him, and his parents happily kiss and watch them, then everything disappeared into thin air. His smile remained, but he cried harder. "I miss all you so, so much... I wish you were here..."
