Chapter Ten

The events of the day had been somewhat more interesting than other days, from finding out more secrets to escaping Viper, and the most satisfying of them all was burying Tatsuya in the schools trap room Starblaze was in a good mood even her parents were surprised, usually after school she would run to her bedroom and do "homework" but today she actually sat with her sister in front of the tv yes the TV which had not been turned on for God knows how long – both parents were too busy to think of television and both girls were suddenly so interested in school work

"girls dinner"

"coming" Starblaze replied getting up, but Karla didn't even noticed so Starblaze helped her mom set the table and serve the food.

"wait the table is incomplete" Starblaze said looking around. Spotting the tip of Karlas sky blue hair she rolled her eyes, going to the living room she pulled Karla by her hair and brought her to the dinning while she was whinning about her precious hair being uprooted but Starblaze was paying little to no attention to her and simply dropped her on her chair sitting hers.

"ok are we complete?" asked their mother

"yes"

"no" both girls looked at each other

"how are we incomplete" Karla asked Starblaze who seemed to be checking her sister

"your brain is missing" Starblaze said simply

"excuse me?!" Karla shouted

"you are excused" Starblaze said

"mom!"

"you guys eat your food" their dad said laughing at their usual back and forth. While they were eating Starblaze kept getting very wrong vibes but she decided not to bother about it nothing could possibly go wrong.

"girls can you please get dessert?" their mom said

"dessert?!" both girls said with huge smiles and glowing happy eyes

"yes, you girls deserve it" their mom said smiling at their behaviour

"go on it's on the kitchen counter" both girls squealed and ran to the kitchen to find a beauty on the counter.

"chocolate cake!!" they squealed jumping up and down like they had sugar rush already. Starblaze felt a shiver not the good kind either, something was wrong and she knew it but decided not to say anything to her sister, she can't even understand herself most of the time. They picked up the cake and grabbed the dessert plates.

"mom, dad we got it"….

"mom?"…

"dad?"…

They got silence for an answer which was all very, very wrong. Shrugging they went to the living room to see an unbelievable sight

"Starblaze? You seeing this?"

"yup I see it clear as a diamond"

….

A man dressed in pure black stood outside a wide purple door designed with all kinds of rare stones some that no human knew of. He stood so still that he looked a statue to the plain eye.

"Shimizu enter" a powerful voice said echoing about the hall. The man walked to the door like a soldier and opened it slowly letting the cold air inside embrace him like a blanket. Inside the room with a now closed door was lit by torches of blue fire which stood around the room. There were seats situated at each side of the room and in the centre there were three large thrones one was occupied by a man draped in dark clothing consisting of Royal blue and black, his facial features were hidden as he had his head downwards but it felt like he was staring at your soul and tearing it slowly and painfully.

"Your Highness you sent for me" Shimizu said getting down on one knee and looking downwards. No one dares look in his eyes lest you loose you everything to them

"an success yet?" he asked

"yes Your Highness we've found "Oke no hoseki"" the room went into a painful and deafening silence. He was very unpredictable and it put everybody on edge

"where" he asked

"in Opwood" Shimizu replied

"the elves?"

"yes Your Highness" he finally raised his head revealing a dead but ghastly expression, one that made all in the room feel heavy- like the earth was pulling them into it's dark abyss

"everybody out" not one person waited to be told a second time leaving the room emptier and colder than ever something was wrong and it could be felt by all.

….

As the sky had gone dark all so suddenly, people leaving their places of work later than should be where rushing to their homes as fast as they could to escape the torrent that was about to befall the whole Opwood.

But one person was trying hardest to escape, she knew the cause of this sudden blackness in the sky, it was a mix of powerful emotions from the one who should not be joked around with.

She ran to her car taking off without even thinking twice of her left over work, all in her mind were to get to her home safely.

She got to her house just before the rain started.

"looks like the gods are on my side, as always" she said with happiness and a self-satisfied expression like she was talking to someone. She went to her room dropping her bag and changing out of her work clothes and freshening up.

While she was about to make something to eat there was a knock on her door.

"hello?"…

"who's there"… she was smart enough to not actually open her door to not just a stranger but a potential something that could kill her.

"you know it's very unmannerly to not open the door for a guest" she didn't need to turn around to know what had intruded her once intrusion and agitation free space

"what do you want"

"it's nice to meet you too when was the last time we met oh that's right, it was a faithful day wasn't it" he said moving to sit on the couch

"enough!! What do you want, I thought we had a deal" she said

"a deal? What kind of deal?" he said standing from his seat on her couch angrily

"but.."

"but? You think you actually have a say in this huh? Well for your information he knows it was you, "Oke no hoseki" will be returned to black moor and "Mizu no Yosai" will have her jewel back, keep that in mind "Hi no Hebi"" with that he disappeared while the lady fell to the floor in tears. Cleaning her tears she got her phone and shakily dialled a number.

"hello? What is it?"

"he is back"

"what?!"

"the "Oke no hoseki" has been found "Umi no Mao" is coming"
