Legend of Parocaav II: Against the Darkness (Rewrite, Complete)

Prelude

Recap ~

"Thank you Bringers of Hope," Lady Parocaav says with a tranquil voice, "You have succeeded in your quest."

Drayk begins to say, "You're welc-"

"We have to destroy her now!!" Sammi interrupts as she blasts the goddess with all the Fire Magic she can muster.

Lady Parocaav puts her left arm out in front of her, stopping the fire in its path. A smirk breaks on her face as her yellow eyes turn pitch black. A white aura encases her, sparking with black electricity. The planet starts to glow white as well and it travels like smoke into the Goddess of Light. Her body begins to absorb the power from Gaia herself. The ground starts to turn grey underneath their feet and all around.

"Wh-what's happening?!" Roku asks in a panic.

Before Drayk or Sammi have a chance to say anything, a familiar voice starts speaking in their minds. It takes a moment before the words can be understood.

"Bringers of Hope. You have reached the next part of the prophecy, the true prophecy," Master Leon tells them, his voice echoing throughout their thoughts, "Lady Parocaav is absorbing the life force and power from Gaia. She is untouchable until she has absorbed it all."

"Master Leon?!" Roku shouts quite surprised to hear his voice.

"No time now to chitchat. I can only speak for a short time," Master Leon explains, "Lady Parocaav is the true threat to this world."

"What do you mean?" Drayk asks.

"It's why I was trying to stop you two," Sammi answers.

"You weren't suppose to. This was Gaia's decision.... thousands of years ago. She spoke to me before the Great Ragnarok War even started. She told me of a time in the distant future when Lady Parocaav would use Xivaac to obtain her power," Master Leon explains further, "She told me of the creation of the Bringers of Hope. I was specifically chosen to help you redeem the goddess so this prophecy can play out."

"But, the world cannot know peace if this is true," Roku sighs, "Why does the Goddess of Life want the power of Gaia?"

"Her soul went corrupt when she discovered the power the planet contains. She led the Ragnarok Mages into war with the other clans. She hasn't been pure in many, many years," Master Leon responds, "She wishes to use the power to destroy the known universe's existence."

"Gaia was ok with this?!" Drayk and Roku ask together.

"No," Sammi states.

"She was not, no," Master Leon agrees, "She knew that you Drayk, would have a sister. She was chosen by Gaia to help stop Lady Parocaav. Your journey is far from over, Bringers of Hope."

Sammi begins to speak as her eyes turn yellow, "The three of us are to defeat Lady Parocaav, as requested by Gaia, and truly restore peace to this world. She knew there would not be a way to prevent Lady Parocaav from gaining her power. We, the Bringers of Hope, are all this planet has left."

"You are the ones who will restore order to this world, and become the next 'deities' to oversee the planet of Gaia," Master Leon tells them as his voice fades away, "Your fight against the darkness has only just begun."

"Master Leon! Wait!" Roku shouts with disbelief in her voice, "We still have questions!"

"The only thing we can do now is retreat and prepare ourselves for the fight against the darkness. It will take several months for her to drain Gaia dry completely," Sammi says as she faces Drayk and Roku, "We must seek out Ryk, the King of Storms in the land of the Storm Mages."

"Then that's what we shall do," Drayk says with confidence.

"Hell yeah!" Roku agrees, "I'm in this till the end!"

"I'm not going to leave your side again brother," Sammi smiles, "You can count on me too!"

The three Bringers of Hope begin to walk towards Ragnarok Pass, leaving Lady Parocaav alone in the land of Ragnarok. It's going to be a long journey to the Land of Storms. It is down on the southern most part of the planet, an island far from any other land. Lady Parocaav starts cackling out as she continues to absorb Gaia's power.

"You won't be able to stop me, Bringers of Hope!" Lady Parocaav yells out in a loud burst, making sure they can hear her as they make their way out.

"We will prevail," Drayk quietly says to the girls, "We will allow this planet to know peace.... no matter what it takes."

A week later ~

The Bringers of Hope have still only just begun their journey to seek out Ryk. Roku is unsure of what to expect, she is mostly baffled with what had just transpired. To find out that they have been out to redeem the fallen goddess, only to have her be the true threat against the light. Drayk is completely at a loss as well. He is happy to have his sister by his side once more and to have had defeated the God of Darkness though. He is, however, feeling as if they have been betrayed. Not only by the Goddess of Life, but by Master Leon as well. He knew the entire time of what would happen, but he kept to himself, he kept it from them.

Their new quest to defeat the darkness is all that Sammi can think about. She is excited to back along side her brother, and to be apart of something so noble. This will be the first time she will ever have had the opportunity to fight along side him. She had always been so determined to never fight when she was growing up. She has always been completely against violence after being exposed to death her whole life. Considering all that has happened, she now has motivation and a reason to fight. The war, pain and suffering has always bothered her, but more so even more nowadays. Once the truth was revealed to her in a vision with Master Leon, she now knows that the darkness needs to be put to an end.

"We will save this planet," Sammi says under her breath.

The Bringers of Hope are now on their way to fulfill their true destiny. To follow the prophecy sought by Gaia so very long ago. A battle has been brewing for nearly a millennium. The world, and Gaia, will now have their chance to flourish the way it was meant to. Gaia had given her soul to be the planet to a world full of hope and prosperity. The fight against the darkness will soon begin. There is no doubt amongst the three Bringers of Hope that they will not fail in their true quest. The quest that they never even expected. The truth has been glanced at, with more to unfold.
