《23 ~ The Given Promise》

[Play music | Not forced]

Sora Storm:
My tears rolled down my cheek and I just couldn't believe it. He was it! My big brother! He was really here...

"Zak ... we're here," I whispered, and my hand touched the cold ice. "By Poseidon, Skullivar had done a great job." I saw that the ice shimmer was a little greenish and then I remembered. "Yes... He had combined the powers of Sino and his powers to lock Zak in here. That probably also explains that the ice crystal can't melt here in Blazz", then I looked briefly at the palm of my hand. "So only someone with the same powers and the eye of Blazz can do it."

I pulled Calabrass and looked at Cece, Caramba and Crogar. "It's better to go back a bit," I said, walking backwards a little. I looked intently at the ice and then at Calabrass. "Calabrass! Give me the eye of-".

"Sora!" Cece called suddenly and I was just able to dodge when Golden Bones wanted to hit his hook. "You won't do anything here!!" My eyes saw Cece and Crogar trying to attack him, but Bones hit them against the wall, Caramba stood there in shock.

"You won't free Zak Storm here!" Bones struck his hook on the sword blade and I had trouble noticing the pressure. "Hrgh! Yes, I will! I made a promise to my brother...". I stepped back and put my left hand on my chest.

"And I won't break it! Calabrass, the Eye of Blazz!" I changed and shot a jet of fire at Bones, but he skilfully evaded it, creating a ring of fire around us and he laughed. "How can you promise him something if you can't even take care of yourself, little Storm!".

I hated when he called me that. The anger flooded me and I rushed towards Bones. It blocked and I pushed hard. "Skullivar will be happy to receive you when I'm done with you here". "We will see!".

When Bones parried another blow from me, he grabbed my arm and hurled me against the large ice crystal. The pain throbbed in my back, but I bit my lip and straightened up, the burning blade pointing at Bones.

"Don't be so sure of victory there, you Goldface!" I gowled with my mouth. I loaded my magic powers into the sword and we both rushed towards each other and struck the blades together. Our eyes met ice cold and we just waited for one of us to make a mistake.

"Sora!" My head turned to Cece and Crogar, who was surrounded by skeletons. I was easily distracted too much and Bones pushed me backwards, I couldn't block in time and he knocked Calabrass out of my hands with the firepower. He flew backwards and got stuck in the ice crystal. I fell to the floor and wanted to get up. "Calabrass!"

Then Bones grabbed the collar of my T-shirt and lifted me up so that our faces met each other. "Getting distracted quickly is one of the weaknesses in the fight, Storm. I had noticed that during sword training over the past two years." A grin appeared at him and I tried to free myself away... in vain...

My eyes filled with tears and I looked desperately at my friends. There was nothing they could do but watch Bones hurt me.

Bones slowly raised his hook, I closed my eyes, listened to the gentle ripple of water drops and hoped that my fate would pass quickly.

Wait a moment! Dropping water? In the sea from Blazz!?

"SORA!!!!!!!!!"
