Estacia

Chapter 6 : Part 2 - The beast made of the sun's heat

A magical beast appeared from the light.

Aghast, the three looked towards the beast.

"H-how?"
Estacia stammered.

The beast was made of fire and filled with fire.
Only its eyes had the peculiar colour of purple.

The beast looked like a bison made of fire.

A monster made of light.

Estacia was speechless. She never presumed that such a fiery creature would live in their island.

She didn't even believe that magic exists as such.

When Estacia was lost in her thought, the beast's eyes sparkled like orchid diamonds.

And it opened its mouth.

"Look out!"
Delmion screamed.

He pushed Estacia while Sherwind followed behind.

They were now lying on the ground but little did Estacia know that the beast released ultraviolet rays from its mouth and only ashes were left on the place the light passed through.

Estacia opened her eyes and a cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

"What is this..."
Estacia murmured.

Delmion understood how shocked Estacia was.

"This beast is made from the rays of the sun. Someone must have put a protection spell in this region. There is one protection spell which makes a hole in the layer called the ozone layer which as you may know prevents ultra violet rays from entering the Earth."
Delmion explained.

"What?"
(Estacia)

"The molecules in the air after the mist we passed through are controlled.
They felt our presence and thus collected the ultraviolet rays that came through that parted part of the stratosphere.
Then as you can see, they formed this beast."

"Wow."
Estacia gasped.

She understood it quite well now.
This beast was made from ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Which only concludes one thing: no one will be able to survive its beam and touch it.

However, though the warmth touch their skins.

How come they are not hurt?

As if Delmion knew what Estacia was thinking.

He further explained that this beast forms its body shape with the help of the molecules present in that area which means that the ozone layer is still present in the other areas and thus the warmth of it was blocked by the ozone layer as the ultraviolet rays cannot pass through the atmosphere but it's beam could certainly do so and the beast can walk as well.

Estacia nodded.

"So how exactly are we supposed to defeat it?"
Sherwind questioned.


"I...don't know."
Delmion sighed.

"What!"
Both Estacia and Sherwind screamed.

How were they supposed to defeat this beast then?

While they were pondering over what to do the beast had already started charging towards them.

They jumped out of its way in order to defend themselves from this dangerous creature.

All the three cursed inside their minds.

In the midst of it all, Estacia looked behind the beast.

To her surprise, a peculiar stone that looked like an inscription lay few spaces behind the beast.

There was certainly something written on it.
However she couldn't read it clearly.

"Delmion, behind the beast."
Estacia whispered.

Delmion seemed to realise what she meant and looked at the direction of the stone.

"Estacia. Me and Sherwind will distract the beast while you find a way to read what is written in it."
Delmion suggested.

The three nodded at each other and began their plan.

Sherwind flew around the beast while Delmion shot his arrow.
He was aware it wouldn't work but at least it will distract their enemy.

Estacia on the other hand slipped into the forest and passed through the scene.

She reached the stone that was covered with vines and pushed the vines.

'You who is reading this inscription must have been searching for the hidden flower.
I won't go around in circles like usual old ancestors and get to the point.
The flower which you seek for your own reason may not really be a flower but rather...that's a secret!"

Estacia read this weird inscription.

'I frivolous man must have wrote this.'
She thought.

Then pondered onto the one line said in the inscription.

The hidden flower may not be a flower...

Then what is it?

Estacia though for a while then thought of a weird idea that even she wouldn't believe.

She tried to push the stone...yes she really did.

After pushing it she squatted down leaning on it.
'Yeah as if that would happen.'
She thought.

Then suddenly the stone moved.

"What the?"

And it pulled with great force.

Estacia fell down and felt a click.
She looked down to her elbow and below it lay a circle shaped button with a design pressed in.

'Oh no.'
She thought then before she could even exclaim, the floor under her opened.

Before she fell into it, she only thought one thing.

'So the man who wrote the inscription really was crazy.'
She signed and she fell inside the deep hole formed on the ground.


"Ow.Ow.Ow.Ow.Ow."
She whimpered because of the fall but thankfully she fell on a pile of grass.

She looked around her surroundings and...

"Wow."

Around her was...
