Where love rules [COMPLETED]

Chapter 27: TSUNAMI?

-Turtle-

Moon fell. So did Winter and Kinkajou. Qibli tried attacking Darkstalker, but failed and crashed into Turtle. Foeslayer said something, but Turtle's ears weren't working. Nothing did. Not his voice. Not his muscles. Nothing.

Time passed. It felt like forever. Finally, Turtle felt his arms again. His whole body began to listen to his brain as it should have before. The seawing prince opened one eye. He looked around him. Turtle was in a room. One dragon stood in front of him. One dragon he recognized. One with blue scales, emerald green under-scales and translucent green eyes.

"Tsunami?" he asked shocked, getting to his feet. Wasn't he in that cave? No, he was with his friends and Darkstalker. How is it he got here? Why was Tsunami here? Isn't she supposed to be at Jade Mountain? What is happening? What will happen?

"Yes, dear brother it is I, heir to the seawing Throne." his sister replied with a raspy old voice.

"What?" Turtle said even more shocked than before. Why is Tsunami's voice so weird? Why is she so polite? Why is she talking like that?

Turtle wouldn't say he knew Tsunami, but this definitely wasn't her. Raspy? That wasn't her voice. Old? No way, how would mother sound like? 

"Touch this and you will know anything you'd want," she answered briefly then disappearing in a cloud of green smoke. Turtle coughed almost choking.

"Tsunami? Kinkajou? Moon? Qibli? Winter?" 

"...Darkstalker?" he pleaded hopelessly.

"...anyone?" he whined, alone in the dark.

"Touch it." Fake Tsunami's voice whispered.

Turtle turned to see a table. A dark wooden table. It looked too perfect to be hand made. The hedged curved perfectly, making a symmetrical circle. The table legs were in a 'D' shape. Turtle stepped closer. In the center, stood a little box. A small little box that glowed a faint silver light. Turtle reached out for it then stop. 

What was he thinking? Was he thinking?

He had Animus magic, he didn't need that box. 

The more time he spends in this dark little room lit by a tiny box, the more he felt unsure of himself. Not like he ever did without his friends.

"I enchant this box to bring me back to my friends...unharmed," Turtle spoke calmly to his own surprise. Unfortunately, the box didn't move. Not one bit, it stayed on the table, shimmering silver light.

Turtle could feel beads of sweat drip down his cheeks. What happened to his animus magic? Is it like what happened with Darkstalker's magic? 

"I enchant this Skyfire to teleport me with my friends to Jade Mountain Academy, safely." the seawing prince said louder holding up his Skyfire. 

"I enchant this Skyfire to teleport me with my friends to Jade Mountain Academy, safely." he repeated louder as if his magic couldn't hear him.

"Touch the box." the raspy voice whispered louder.

Turtle started to shake. He reached out to touch the box. I mean, what could he do? What could the box do?

He touched the tiny box. The feeling was very weird. It was hard at his touch. But then it melted right at he tip of his claws. It didn't leave a puddle or anyhing, it just vanished. 

Before Turtle could say 'how?' he was blasted to the wall by something he didn't know. Everything hurt once again. And many shadows were casted on the walls of this dark, creepy room.

I'm going to die here? Without even seeing my friends? My family? Without being the hero I wanted to be? Without seeing Kinkajou?
