39 Chapter 40: Resolve (1/2)
”JOHN!!!” Cried out Ariel as she stretched out her hand
Tears streamed down her face as she began to charge up her spell in sadness and anger. The little remaining oxygen inside of the ice cube began to gather and take form of a spear.
Serena who also cried began to charge up her own spell and formed 5 wind Arrows around the spear. As ariel was about to shoot the spell, Serena stopped her.
”Wait, Ariel, not now.”
”What do you mean not now!? It ate john!!” She shouted back
Ariel was full of anger and was in no position to think logically
”If we attack it now, Then We'll also die! It's too far from us, I also want to avenge john! So we'll have to wait.” Shouted Serena as tears streamed down her face
”But we can still sav-”
Ariel was interrupted by Serena who quietly said ”It's too late...”
Ariel got her staff and began to pour even more magic power into her spear
”What are you doing?” Asked Serena
”I'm waiting...” Said Ariel as she wiped her tears
”I already told you! John won't-”
Serena was interrupted by a bright flash which came from the mouth of the eel. The eels behaviour changed and it started swimming around as if it were trying to get something off of its body. Then again, another Flash came from the inside.
Ariel and Serena Stared at the eel as hope slowly began to fill their eyes.
A 3rd Flash came from inside of the body and the eels movements slowed down. It seemed weaker. Shortly After, something had pierced it from the inside and blood began to spill out. Then another bright flash followed.
The recently active eel had become motionless... Then slowly, from the mouth, you could see signs of the inside being slowly frozen.
Seeing this, the sad look on Ariel's and Ariel's faces changed into a teary smile
”That idiot... he didn't give up...” Said, Serena as she wiped her tears
”Mn..” Nodded Ariel as she also wiped her tears
Moments later from the inside of the mouth crawled out a young boy who they all recognised.
”It's john! I told you he was fine!” Said, Ariel with a happy and excited expression
”Yeah... I forgot how abnormal he was...” Said, Serena
John slowly floated downwards towards the ice cube without moving. His consciousness slowly began to fade as he fell deeper and deeper.
”Where is john's ball of air? he won't be able to breathe” Asked Ariel
