The Tempest Spell

Chapter 33

Macie landed in a pool of water and heard a splash as Astrik landed with her. She forced herself up as she burned of the cold water. How could Ronan tolerate this? she thought as she heaved herself onto the rocks. She remembered coming to the lake and throwing a rock into the water and watched as Ronan would come out to the surrface, he was born in that water when it turned into ice in the winter. She stood as Daunt appeared "My best soldier, welcome home"

"What do you want Daunt?"

"Want? I dont need to want anything, and if you join me neither would you, lead the Crystal army Macie"

"What about the rest?"

She shrugged "They could join, but your the one everbody cares about Macie, especially me, which is an honor."

"But I dont have strength like Ronan, I cant fly like Nova, Daunt you made me out of that grass your standing in, Im only a weapon for people to toss around."

She smiled. "That's why you cant die, Macie. Ronan and Nova are just exploring their talents, you already have mastered them Macie."

"I dont have anything!"

"You have your sword, Macie, its made from you. Nobody can wield its power but you." She held it in front of me.

"And Nova's?"

"Made from the dark fire she was born out of, he can control that too its just not clear to her. Ronan can change what he looks like, he doesnt even know it."

"And?"

"Those words on your back, it is a part of you. You have to finish it Macie Unless the world will fall to pieces and everyone you care for will be trapped in their own boddies, unable to move. Just being there like a statue, its what The Daunting Curse will do. If you dont win for us I will cast it."

Macie stepped back and almost fell into the water again but Astrik put his hand behind her to catch her if she did.

"The Daunting Curse is the balance beam to stand on. If you tip over, it will fly." She held the sword out father to her "Join the Crystal army Macie, its your only choice"
