CHAPTER 10
Vanished
Loralle e of leaving her earth house She's had to adapt to different situations ever since she was born and this was just another one
She had round, then she put herself directly onto his lap! Then, she let the earth slowly take them back to the Metal Tribe
Mitch knew he had a lot to do, but found hiet back to his chores Luckily, he knew that the Air Tribe were quite a quiet bunch that don't attack, so he wasn't too worried if war had happened or not in his absence
”Why not cohtly
”I come, find you later” She said, as she cuddled into him
Sighing, Mitch stopped hi her with hiet away soon, then he probably wun get away at all!
”Ok, findback, as he didn't think he'd be able to bear seeing those seductive eyes, he disappeared into a cave
Loralle watched hihed Hoas it possible that she already missed him?
Making a strange face, she stood there trying to understand her feelings
After a couple ofto answer her questions, she frowned There was no reasonable answer! She just missed himThat was it!
Was there some kind of other power?
A powerThat et about the rest of the world and made you miss someone that wasn't near you?
Loralle widened her eyes, maybe that's it!
What kind of power is that!?
If Mitch had heard these inner thoughts of Loralle's, he probably would have looked at her in complete astonishh, cry, shake his head or get angry!
Finally, Loralle continued to the field of flashes, situated in thenow, she thought, till I'd be able to get the approval of the metal element The final element
Then what?
Uh?
Loralle blinked and scratched her head, as she going to do after?
She was supposed to have found a way by now, to end the hatredBut she still had no idea! She hadTotally forgotten!
Thinking back, it had slipped herMitch
Felling bad for drifting away froet the metal power
Going into the o, she had felt that she hadn't been quite ready yet to go into the field of flashes, because it had hurt her
What was strange, though, was that she had already found the yearning that led into the big field of flashesDidn't you only get that when you were ready for it?
Nonetheless, she continued to think that she needed more power!
Three hours later, Loralle didn't feel any different Why had she felt pain then?
Yet, now, she seemed to have the immunity needed for the metal power
It didn't make any sense!
Of course, the reason that she was looking for but couldn't find, was because the flashes that were needed for the , were those from the field of flashes and not the usual metal power that everyone in the Metal Tribe had Loralle, hadn't thought that even other Metal Tribal members had felt the pain from them also
Looking out, into the big flashes, Loralle shuddered
The water tried to drown me, earth tried to bury me, fire tried to turn me to ash and wind cut me all over
These flashesWhat will they do? She winced when she remembered what the metal power did to food
Standing up, she went closerThen put her hand inside the field Nothing happened, at first, the flashes continued but her hand was untouched They seeo anywhere
Suddenly, a flash reached over to her, as fast as it was, and hit her
It disappeared just as quickly as it had coe had already been done
Once the flash had touched her body, Loralle completely lost her consciousnessHer eyes rolled back and she heavily fell to the ground Her nerves, !
Her body treree that her body, in which fell outside of the field of flashes, had trembled and convulses to the inside of the field
Another flash came in a quick instant, five seconds later
Her body started to show signs of the eleh her body
Water was seen in her veins, , fire in her skin and earth in both her skin and e flowed over her whole body,her look like she wasn't hu
Her hair that cringed and puffed out, continuously was being coain within a second or two
Frothing at her h her heart had just suddenlyStopped beating!
It was at this very point in tirass, reached to the other elee to the continent of Mondal scared everybody, as the earth reen colour everywhere!
What happened afterwards, got the people htened as they watched their very oers suddenly disappear!
The h the earth, the giant cyclone stopped and evaporated and the flashes stopped flashi+ng
The ma pools, the air and flashes around the caves, all of the defences of each and every tribeDisappeared!
Then, each and every single person fell unconscious as their poere zapped from them as well!
The earth o with the powers it had takenThe earth, water, fire, air and metal elements all raced towards a certain location
This all happened in a space of ten seconds, as all this power caht covered the entire continent of Mondal!
With no one able to witness this spectacular event, they didn't see that the one who took everythingWas none other than LoralleWho was still un, laying on the ground
When the light entered her body, the light disappeared to see norht return to the continent of Mondal, as it was beforehandBut, to LoralleChanges were happening, and one of those changes, was her co back to life!
”Finally, Freedom!”
”Yes, we have been returned to our natural state”
”Yeah, was fun though aye!?”
”To be put here and used like that! Blasphemous!”
”Now that we are together again”
”No! You wanted to be the leader! You're always the leader!”
”It doesn't matter anymore!”
”You always take his side!”
”Let's jus go n have some fun aye!”
”Agreed, I want to get out of this dump of a land!”
”Agreed, we have spent enough time here”
”Hey! Hey! Let's go see Arculas!”
”Very well”
One day later, everybody on the continent of Mondal awoke It was a pandemic! There was no water power, no fire power, no metal power, no air power and no earth power!
Dead fish, squid and other water creatures were found at the botto lake used to be The volcano, that had blown up the top of the earth covering, no longer had ma homes when they fainted, found the over their lost homes
The Air Tribe gathered together and looked around with a little bit of fear They looked at their earth ho them still there, and remembered Loralle Luckily, they had a lot of fruit and didn't have to worry about relocating their tribe
The lights in the caves no longer worked and Mitch found hi the light that was outside of the cave , he looked around to see the changes in the Metal Tribe
What was goin on?
”AhBossI can't” That person didn't continue to speak
The boss looked over to the field of flashes to seeNothing No flashes anywhere!
”Go n find out what's goin on! NathanGo n find Loralle!”
”Yeah, Boss!”
He hadA really bad feeling about this!
”BossSomeoneSomeone from the Air Tribe has come to stand in the middle of the tribes!”
Mitch bit his lip, for an hour there were no answers, none! And now
”Jus let eht av weapons butIf they still av powers”
”YeahI'll jus watch em then!”
Mitch nodded, then looked around, wanting to see Nathan He hadn't returned
Turning to another suburbanite, he said, ”Help Nathan find Loralle”
”Yeah, Boss!”
He had a niggling feeling ever since awakeningWhat was goin on!? Why have the Air Tribe suddenly co troubles too?
Mitch sent another person towards the Air Tribe to spy on theh they seemed happy too
Daniel, who had been confined, had felt a change in his body as soon as he had woken up
But, he didn't careHe was put into this cell, what felt like a long tiht he was the reason everyone died, not knowing that they were, in fact, were still aliveHe hadWillingly gone into confinement because he felt like he deserved it
When the Fire Tribe had came out to e, Daniel's father had heard everything from his eldest son On purpose, they hadn't told Daniel anything and no one was to go down to see him as punishmentUntil this day
Both his father and brother ca to him and asked, ”Have you lost your powers too?”
Daniel looked up, blinkingWas he perhaps drea? Did heDie?
”Daniel! Speak!” His father's voice! His father's body!
”Daniel!” His father's angry, familiar voice!
Without knowing, Daniel had slowly come to stand and be at the front of the cell ”Father?”
Actually, his father was a kind manHe loved his children very much ”Yes, we lied to you, so you would learn your lessonQuick boy, answer my question!”
A tear ran down Daniel's face as he answered, ”NoI lost the powers”
Daniel sht now, the poere nothing, he was just so glad to see his father again!
His father sighed and looked at his eldest son, ”Let him out”
It was a reunion that Daniel would never have thought, in a million years, would happen!
He hugged his father till he was pushed away, then he hugged Eo for hours!
It felt like it had been years, but it was only days Days of thinking he had killed the whole Fire Tribe Days of loathing himself and Loralle Days without anybody to talk too!
He had never knohat loneliness was, or betrayal or losing so precious
And nowHe was just so damned happy! He also came to know that what Loralle had done was all an act! That she hadn't intended to kill anyone! He wasn't sure if he wanted to thank her or to call her a bitch!
In the following days, big changes had to be one and with thatThe hatred!
The Air Tribe continued to stay in thefood to inored due to fear
Mitch worried endlessly about Loralle, who had gonewith their powers, and was unsure how to proceed He checked her earth house outside of the Metal Tribe daily, to see that she wasn't there
Finally, he succu to know if she was there instead
Walking straight past the Air Tribe envoy, he went to their village
He knew his tribesmen would worry endlessly about him but he had made up his mind
He noticed that the wind that used to circulate around the Air Tribe still seemed to have not reappeared Much like their own flashesNot only that, the hatred he used to have for them, had completely vanished as well They had wanted to find out what the Air Tribe wanted to do since a few days agoSo now, he was going to find out!
The Air Tribe watched him silently as Mitch searched each and every earth house to not see anything of Loralle They did not attack hied
