18 A storm of darkness. 2 (2/2)

”Sir, the storm is in a range that we can sense it now.” Hisashi stated as he walked slowly towards a calm Zeyner who was atop of the North gate with his eyes closed as he sensed the approaching storm of darkness.

”Let's begin...pass the order Hisashi!” Zeyner ordered as his face suddenly turned serious as he faced Hisashi.

”Sir!” Hisashi turned around and walked towards the edge of the wall as he shouted ”Begin the operation! Assume formation! Ready yourself to infuse energy! healer's, position yourselves!”

Roughly 250 protectors were present there for the operation. Upon hearing Hisashi's order they all shouted in unison ”Yes, Sir!”

All the protectors on the wall spread towards four different spots of the large fortified Northern wall of Areon as 125 protectors waited as standby on the ground to replace the protectors who can't continue any more.

”Sir, Every one's in position and awaiting your order.” Isao reported to Zeyner as he sensed the storm a few hundred meters away.

”Order them to get ready to infuse their energy into the barrier.” Zeyner nodded as he riled up his energy causing strong winds to emit from where he stood as the energy started to go wild inside him.

”CLYPEUS AUTEM...!!!” A golden coloured energy circle appeared over the city as Zeyner's eyes engulfed with pure golden coloured energy as he activated the spell.

A tremendous amount of energy was released from the protector's office in the city which made it's way towards the large energy circle situated right above it. White, pure energy filled the protector's office as if a beam of energy engulfed the head quarters. Strong winds swept through the city for a moment in response to the release of such tremendous energy.

The circle started to fade as it dissipated the energy it received to create a dome shaped energy barrier over the city which slowly spread to engulf the city.

”Infuse your energy into the barrier, c'mon put your back into it protectors. Concentrate!” All the protectors atop the wall infused their energy into the barrier and held the barrier firmly with their energy as they concentrated everything they got into the barrier.

”I really do hope, no one saw the energy circle created above the city. Even though we ordered the city to stay indoors after 8 pm today, we didn't give them a reason. Some people might be roaming outside defying our orders.” Isao complained to Hisashi as he infused his energy along with Hisashi and other captains.

”If anyone causes any trouble, the remaining protectors and the captains who are waiting to replace us will take care of it as fast as they can and rush back here. So, you concentrate on the infusion.” Hisashi ordered a nagging Isao.

The barrier had no colour but could be sensed by any protector as it emitted a powerful aura. It was around 9:30 in the night by the time, Areon was hit by the storm.

”Brace yourselves protectors, here it comes.” Zeyner shouted as he saw the incoming storm.

The storm hit the barrier causing the barrier to move a few inches back, forcing the protectors back as well. ”Hold it mates!...Hold it steady!” Isao shouted as he held his position.

Shin sensed what was going on in the city as he sat on the cliff he always comes to, as the sea waves hit the cliff slowly, miles away from the city.

”I can't let that breeze of darkness touch me, I don't want to get reminded of the dark past it bought along with itself.” Shin whispered in the dark as he slipped into meditation to control his energy and his feelings.
