Sparks of The End

Chapter 15

Zoey P.O.V.

  "What the hell is that?" Someone said from beside her, "The mushrooms lead me here to find... them?" Zoey whispered, but on account of the groups silence most of them heard her. "I don't think it's a 'what is', I think it's a 'who is'." Xephos said clearly. Everyone was watching as the two dark shapes moved on the horizon line. 

   One was quite tall, and the other one was so short she could have rivaled Honeydew for his dwarf title. The sun light made their forms appear as just black figures, recognizing them at this point was impossible. "Should we advance on them?" Lalna said from behind her somewhere, "It doesn't look like we'll need too." Lomadia pointed at the shapes from Zoey's right, they had seen the group and were already making their way over to them. Unease filled Zoey, she bit her lip. 

   "Who the hell-?" Martyn said from not far away, he seemed very confused, as did most of the group. And the confusing only grew greater when they heard the voices. 

  "Hey! Hey guys! Heyyyy!" A perky young females voice said, just as the smaller figure started waving her hands in the air like mad. "Kim...?" Lomadia gasped quietly, as an answer a darker rich voice scowled the girl. "Kim, would you stop that. They hardly trust us, Kim, Kim stop it." 

  A switch flicked on in the mushroom girls brain, "Ryth-Ender?" She corrected herself quickly. The glare of the sun stopped as the two figures came into view, but something was off about both of them. Lomadia and Zoey were in fact correct on their assumptions. 

  "Kim, what the hell is that on your face?" Honeydew asked bluntly, Kim looked confused for a moment but them widened her eyes. She slapped Ender's arm, "You were suppose to tell me if it spread!" He sighed, "It's spreading." She looked at him flatly, "I don't like your sarcasm, Mr. Enderborn." 

   Zoey's heart stopped, not literally because she obviously didn't die. "E-Enderborn?" She questioned, her eyes looking from Kim and back to Ender. Rythian glared at Kim, "Kim, can you please not do something like that to confuse them even more?" "Sorry..." She smiled sheepishly. 

   "Where do I start?" He crossed his arms, "Well, Hello, I am Rythian. I apologize for confusing you."

    Zoey didn't even hear the others gasp, the questions they asked. Her eyes were locked in a staring contest with the Enderborn. He was here, he was alive, and he had his memory back. She felt herself being pulled towards him, just as someone grabbed her arm.

  It snapped her out of the trance as she looked behind her and saw Lalna gripping on to her arm. Zoey's face contorted in confusion, as she yanked her arm out of his grip. "Zoey, don't." He warned, his voice dangerous and low. She narrowed her eyes at him before turning back around as fast as she could mange.

  He was still there, his eyes slightly wide, and his hands held up in a surrendering motion. Zoey started moving closer to him, slowly but surely. "So you're Rythian again."

"Yes,"

"What are the names of my mooshrooms?"

"Daisy, Steven, and Nilesy J.R." Zoey's eyes narrowed.

"What's my favorite kind of weapon?"

"One that only harms, but doesn't kill."

"What's the frequency code for the nuke."

"1337." He answered without hesitation, Zoey could see his jaw tense at the thought of a nuke.

   "Oh my god..." The red-head choked out, covering her mouth with her hand. Her body pulled her forward so fast that she didn't even feel the warmth of his body until after her arms had already made contact to his clothing. 

  His body tensed as her arms wrapped around his waist, "Zoey?" He called gently as he petted the back of her head. She buried her face in his shirt, tears welling up in her eyes. And then she pushed away, much to everyone's shock and surprise. 

  She brought her hand up as fast as lightening and slapped him in the face. "I can't believe you." She said, bottom lip quivering. Rythian brought his hand to his face, rubbing his cheek slightly. "I deserved that." He murmured. "I'm sorry, but I can explain." "T-Then explain!" She yelled back at him, clutching her arms as her body shivered. 

  "I would but, Zoey? Are you alright?" He asked, walking closer to her. She took a step back away from him, and nodded her head. She felt the rush of heat fill her body like being buried in sand, her arms and legs felt like limp noodles under the hot blanket that covered her entire body. 

   Her body fell forward, straight into Rythian's arms. In which he swiftly caught her, and seemed to look up and the people around them. 

   "What's going on?" She heard him say, her vision being clouded by black spots. His voice sounded on edge, someone answered but it was too far away for Zoey to hear. 

   This sensation was like the one before, but intensified. She clamped her teeth down on her lip to start herself from crying out. A hand settled on her forehead, numbing the heat slightly, making her gasp out in shock. Before her body was consumed into the exhaustion of trying to control the temperature. 

Rythian P.O.V.

   Rythian brushed his hand over Zoey's forehead as she gave a small gasp and rolled her head to the side. He set her down on the ground, the grass was warm from the sun's rays and wouldn't help in their current situation. 

  Reaching towards his belt, he pulled out a bottle of orange liquid. Holding Zoey's head straight, and then opening the bottle with his teeth, he poured the liquid into her mouth and soothed it down her throat. A second after it was down a hand grabbed his shoulder and yanked him away from the red-headed girl. 

  He was kicked in the chest a second later, above him was a furious Lalna. Rythian coughed as Lalna kicked him once move in the abdomen before two small arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him backwards. 

  Rythian used his elbows to raise himself from the ground. Lalna tried getting out of Kim's grip but she held on tightly, "Lalna calm down okay, it was just a fire protection potion." Rythian nodded, and brushed off his clothing, getting to his feet. "Her skin is burning from the inside, something's wrong and if I'm correct no one knows how to fix this." His voice was calm, but his body was tense. 

   "I'm not going to turn on you, I'm not going to kill, listen to me becuase a matter-o-fact I actullay know some things worth sharing." Rythian growled, narrowing his eyes at the group before him.
