Chapter 14 " The Realm of Lost Souls "

Ruka's POV :

It was early morning but still mist and fog everywhere. I got up from my futon at 4 am and looked at the futon next to me. It was empty. It meant that Raven is awake. I have to go and talk to her. I must confess my feelings towards her and be straightforward to her.

With these thoughts in my head, I went out and started walking. I saw her sitting at the bank of the lake covered with mist and fog. " Good Morning Raven," I said smiling and she turned towards me. " Good Morning " she replied. I came and sat on the bank of the river next to her. " What are you doing up so early," she asked me. " I suffer from Insomnia remember " I replied and she then nodded.

We kept sitting there for some time. In silence. Complete silence. I decided to shatter the silence and then I asked

" Can I talk to you Raven ". She nodded and I said " Raven there is only one thing I have to say. I will be really sorry if this angers you but.... " I sighed and said " Raven Queen, the mighty heir of the demon lord, I love you. I love you since my childhood. Since the first time our eyes met. I - " but before I can say anything else Maya came running to us and told Raven that there was a problem and Raven went with her.

Asher's POV :

It was 6 am and we were planning to go into the Realm of Lost Souls. " We don't know what we will find in there. We have to be prepared " Mateen said. " I don't think so," Raven said as she came towards us " The Realm of Lost Souls is a place where those souls wander who had a miserable death or who died before they can achieve their dreams or mostly those who regret their lives ". Regret their lives? Miserable death? WHAT IS RAVEN SAYING.

" Hey, Guys... I think we have a little problem over here " Kyle whisper shouted and I stood up. " What the hell Kyle, who has ca- " I stopped myself as I saw the person, or to be more specific, the creature standing in front of him.

" Uh... Raven we have an uninvited guest over here " Lexi shouted. " Who is it, " Raven said as she and Maya walked in our direction. Their eyes followed ours but they weren't even a bit shocked. " Oh, so you are afraid of him? " Maya chuckled as Raven turned towards the creature

" Hades you arrived much earlier than expected ". The creature stood straight and shifted into the Master Fairy.

" My Heir I was out the minute you called me " the Master Fairy, most probably Hades, said. " Come to my tent Hades and we will discuss that matter " Raven looked at Hades and they both walked into the dark tent. What matter was it that they wanted to discuss?

*****************************************

Kyle's POV :

We have been sitting here for some time now. What were Heir Queen and Master Hades talking about? Could it be... Kathy. I gulped at the thought of Master Hades reporting my sister to Heir Queen. Hey Wait.... it can hold right. So I guessed the matter is serious.

At 9:30 am, Heir Queen and Master Hades came out of the tent. " Gather all your weapons. We are going " Heir Queen announced. We gathered our weapons and turn by turn stepped in the gate. We had stepped INTO THE UNKNOWN

Mateen's POV :

We were now inside the Realm of Lost Souls. Raven searched something and then whispered slightly " We will have to fight some of the lost souls " and we all nodded. To be honest, I was a little nervous. I have fought many battles before but with living people, not souls so it was kinda weird.

As we went in the mist and fog grew denser until we weren't able to see anything. Just then we heard a voice singing a song :

" Cold outside, minus twelve snow ice, where they sleep at night.

Hasn't ate all week, couldn't make ends meet, cry yourself good night.

Can you tell me how cause you let me down wheres the he-ro now.

Can you hear me loud, if you're there in the clouds, wheres the he-ro now ".

( This song's name is Life is a lie )

Whoever it was, the voice was beautiful. " Who is it, " Master Hades asked. The voice stopped. A girl came walking towards us and smiled after she saw Raven. " You must be the new visiting Lord " she hummed. "Souls she is here. If we killed her we will be free to leave this realm and go anywhere we want. Kill her " the girl said chuckling with pure evil.

As soon as the girl said that a soul threw a dagger aimed at Raven's heart. I instantly took out my sword and blocked the attack.

IF THEY WANTED TO ATTACK OUR LORD THEN WE WILL TEACH THEM A GOOD LESSON.

It took only a fraction of a second before we all took out our weapons and started to fight but to my surprise, Daya didn't take out any weapon. Instead, her eyes turned green. I completely forgot that she is the Black Frost Protector.

I blocked another attack but when I tried stabbing one soul, my sword just passed through it and it cackled. "That's a soul Matty. They are already dead " Raven said as she picked the sword from the ground and blocked the attack of something. " Then what shall we do? " Lexi asked as her back hit a tree and she inserted her whole power to stop the attack on her. Ruka attacked the soul from behind and threw it back. He offered Lexi his hand and helped her up. Now I'm seriously jealous of this guy. First he takes my Raven away and now Lexi. " I think this 'Simple Battling' is not gonna work," Raven said. " That means...? " I asked and she nodded. It was her signal given to take out our wands. " Retaw " Kyle shouted and water sprouted on a soul. But it soon regained its composure. " Water won't work," Kyle said. " Then let's try Force," Maya said and shouted, " Ecrofo ". We all followed that but the souls defeated our aggressive attacking. " Defence maybe " Lexi suggested. " No, I know what might work, " Asher said and looked at Raven. Raven nodded and her eyes turned death green. She was about to chant a spell with the power of Black Frost.

" It's time for them to know,

How shall a Dragon's fire blow ". The souls were surrounded by flames. " Lets go now " Master Hades muttered and we all followed him out of the Realm of Lost Souls.

So the simple summary of our fight is that: The fight was immense but at least we managed to get out of the Realm of Lost Souls.... or maybe I shall say Realm of the bloodthirsty, angry, and ill-mannered souls.
