Life Changer

Chapter Eighteen: Rylo

Dad and I talked with the king and queen. Well, dad did most of the talking for us. The king agreed to let us borrow the Inferno Blade, as long as we didn't break it or lose it. He also told us not to use it against anyone. Not that I'd want to even hold the thing. It was an actual sword. I guess that's obvious, but I thought it was just a name. Then again, I didn't really know what to think.

Unfortunately for me, I did have to hold the sword when the time came. I would hold it up so that all the Sea Dwellers can see it. Then they would know I'm both Sea Dweller and Pyro Resident. After that, they would realize we all can have peace. Or that's how it's supposed to go, anyway. It seemed too simple to work, in my opinion. Once we got the Inferno Blade, dad teleported us back to our house.

Mom greeted us with hugs. "So how did it go?"

"Turns out, King Renik is back. So are his daughters," Dad informed.

"Well, that's great!" Mom looked at the sword I was holding probably the wrong way. "I see you got what you came for."

"Yep. And now I can finally get this stopping the war thing done and over with," I said, relieved.

"Well, first you have to come with me to the ocean and get the Hydra's Tooth," She told me.

I thought it was almost over! I could not believe this was only the beginning. "Wait, I thought if I got the Inferno Blade I could just tell the Sea Dwellers to stop being crazy war lunatics and be peaceful."

"Sorry if we gave you that idea, but that's not the case," Dad responded.

"Can I at least rest for a bit?" I grumbled.

Mom looked at me, slightly disapprovingly, "Yes you can, but tomorrow I'm taking you to the deep sea."

With that, I went to my room and turned on my TV. Next, I started to play Fortnite, though it wasn't much appealing.
