Magic-2

*Chapter 7*

Valhalla, The land were gods and humans meet. This was here the three friends were heading. Dangers lay across here. Rabid animals, crazy Eidolons. It was their hardest feat yet. They walked into the Crux, with a mood of fear, and determination.

"The last place you will venture." Jack's voice started. "Fighting with me again, like the old days Skye? Now with Noel, and Hope we will be unstoppable. Let's send this bastard to his own version of hell. Once and for all. Good luck. You will find me in the Temple of Etro. Good luck." Jack finished, and the gang were met with cold concrete. Noel looked around as they saw flying colors, and wild animals. This place was truly chaos. Skye looked up, and pointed at a tall building with some circles on it. "Is that the Temple? Where Jack is?" Skye asked. Noel nodded, "Yes, and knowing him, he's probably waiting in the meditation room." Noel said. "Wait! This place is a maze. The entrance is over there." Hope told them. Skye looked over, "This way!" she called, then ran into an alley.

In this alley a Behemoth was waiting for them. Caius' trademark predator was ready to slice their heads off. The Behemoth charged, but saw Hope and stopped. Hope turned his head, and the neck of the beast snapped, killing the Behemoth instantly. Hope looked back at his friends, who was shocked."Your welcome!" He said sarcastically. "Don't worry, you're doing good." Noel told him, planting a kiss on his cheek. Hope blushed furiously. "Let's go." he said. They kept walking and ran into an invisible wall. "Stop." Noel said, then tapped the wall. "It's open, let's go."

He told them, walking through with ease. They walked into a long elegant hallway, to hear clicking of heels, and hooves. "Jack!" Noel cried, seeing his friend, in his feathered armor. Jack looked over and ran towards them, embracing Skye. "You made it." Jack said, putting her down.

They went to the meditation room, to dip their feet in the small pool. After that they walked to the balcony, to watch over the town. They saw colors flying, and monstrous fighting. Out of the corner of his eye Jack saw Caius on the beach. "Let's go." Jack called Odin, and the gang hopped on. They galloped across the beach, when something happened. "FUS RO DAH!" Caius shouted. The gang fell off the horse, as Odin disappeared. "Fool. If u wanted my head, why show up with a horse?" Caius laughed. "Bastard." Jack whispered to himself, before laughing like a maniac. Caius was confused, as Noel jumped up, and threw his sword into Caius' back. Caius screamed in agony. But that was not the end of their attacks. Jack put his hands together for some L'Cie magic, and whispered into them. "Fus ro dah, wuld nah kest, yol." Jack looked up and smiled at Caius saying "You're not the only Dragonborn left.". Then a mass of fire went in Caius' direction, with force and speed. Caius fell to the ground, screaming in agony. Out of the flames, three arrows flew and hit Caius on the spine.

The fire had died down, and the three walked over to where they saw Caius laying. But he wasn't there. All that was their was a simple wooden doll. Caius was laughing, as he shouted at Jack, turning him into stone. Then a figure showed up behind him. A figure with a sword. Hope. hope swang the blade, cutting his brother's torso. Then he knocked his brother down, punching him. He grabbed Caius' head, pulling on it. He kept pulling, and pulling until he had ripped his head off. Hope stood where everyone could see him, holding his brother's head, and looking victorious. "Sorry Brother." He said to himself, before casting the head down to earth.

Caius' head was moving so quick, it knocked down anima. Releasing a dark, dense fog. The crystal fell down, and destroyed the land. All the towns, and villages. Only about one million people where left alive, others slaughtered, or crushed.

Noel had grabbed the statue of Jack, and placed it on the throne of Valhalla. They walked into the crux, to start once more.

(-***-)

Skye and Noel hopped on a skycraft, and rode through their new city. New Cocoon. "It's not perfect, but it'll do. Hope hopped on. Skye looked around, smiled and fell down, dead. "SKYE!" Noel cried out. Skye was already gone. "What happened?" Hope asked. "It was the change in time. The time had changed and her body took shock to that. She is gone." and with that, Skye's body fell off the aircraft, into the deep waters of Lake Bresha.

(-***-)

A crystal dust blew over Valhalla, and some was on Jack's stone form. Then out of nowhere, two green eyes fluttered open.

"Is Skye ok?"
