19 Chapter 19: Hero’s Chronicle, Ferlin’s Mage Academy Exams Part One (2/2)
”I always wondered when I would run into the last one.”
”Hey, look guys” A vulgar man voice rang out behind them.
”Is this who you meant” Rain asked sarcastically with a smile. Glass returned his statement with an expressionless face.
The vulgar lead a group of other vulgar people toward them somewhere carrying the corpse of former examinees.
”They dead already, it hasn't even been ten min?utes” Henry said
”Did you guys torture them?” Rain said shaking ”Inhumane bastards should die” he didn't waste no time taking out his daggers as he took the leaders head off in an instant in a rage. Glass not in the mood to see a bloody scene look up toward the tallest volcano.
The group of bandits were shocked as their leader's head fell into the volcano. Rain kicked the body into the volcano. Despite being in a rage, he still remembers that Glass hates gruesome scenes.
”They didn't even get to put up a fight” Henry said as he watched Rain slaughter the group of bandits and then dumped, they're into the volcano.
Rain walked back muttering to himself. What he had been through when he was younger is a terrible curse that will never go away, I seem.
Rumble, more quakes began. Making Rain snap out of his trance.
”these quakes aren't nature are they,” Henry said.
”No” Glass said and started moving forward when Rain collected himself. Stairs came into view behind a rock.
”Stairs?”
”They are manmade”
”I thought these volcanos where made by the beats,began how.”
”A bandit hangout lives in the second volcano, when they settled here, they must have built them.” Glass said walking up the stairs.
”Can I take them on?” Henry asked ”Rain didn't leave any for me back there”
”Hey”
”Do what you want, they are weak anyway” Glass said making Henry smile as he ran past her.
”Hey, you aren't getting all of them” Rain said as he chased after Henry. Both racing at such great speed, Glass thought to herself for a moment.
'They must be happy Ithacan didn't really provide them enough playtime with their skills.'
Glass took her time walking up the long steps as she took the whole scenery. When she got high enough, she saw that they weren't on an island no more. The three volcanos are attached to each other, and the stairs only goes up to the second volcano. The third volcano is the highest
When she caught up with Henry and Rain all the bandits where slaughter and they were dumping the bodies into the volcano. As they wanted to clean up after themselves before Glass got there.But she paid them no mind as she was fixated on the tallest volcano.
”I'm going on ahead” She said using telepathy before jumping up to rocks that would help her get to the tallest volcano. Inside the tallest volcano there was a platform. A golden egg lays comfortably on its surface, close by its mother's majestic wings
The Vermillion Bird, Suzaku
Out of all the creature she had ever come across the vermillion bird has always been her favorite. If the dragon means prideful arrogance, then the phoenix means noble arrogance.
However….
The phoenix bird screamed, and the earth trembled joining its fury.
'This would have been a beautiful scene, if the egg still had life' Glass thought Sadly as she got ready to face Suzaku. That was starting to come after her in a fury when it caught sight of her.
”You killed my Child” Suzaku started screaming madly as its body burst into flames and fire spewed from its mouth like a gushing spring. The magma rose and formed into a perfectly shaped cage that meant to imprison both it and Glass inside.
'Suzaku is stronger than even Seiryu' The prideful dragon might not like that comment.
Glass had cut through multiple flames without a scratch as she wonders how she should end this. Suzaku just lost her child and no one really ever comes back from that. Afterall she knows the pain the comes with from losing a child better than anyone. Nothing she says will make it better for her, the only other choice is to let it sleep for good.
'Since that's the case'
Glass put Satusko away and closed her eyes as a bright started to emanate from her and covered the entire cage.
Whimpering, Glass looked at the sobbing women on the ground.
”it's not fair, why did my child have to die like this” she said her red hair that glistened to grow duller with each passing moment.
”Because its fate”
”Fate, Fate, then it is a cruel fate. Did I deserve something like this. For thousands of years I worked hard. Yet, all my effort wasn't important, I was cast out from the heavens and then had to lose my own child….”
”Fate is a cruel mistress.” Glass but her off as she came upon the women and used her hand to cover her eyes. The women started seeing images, and silent tears started to fall.
”My Child”
”But just because fate is cruel doesn't me it will always be. Your child will live many lifetimes, experience many things.”
Glass could see the women lips quiver more but did not say anything.
”So, sleep and rest easy and believe that one day you'll meet again.... I know I do.”
