Beyond The World. Chapter 1 : The War [part 3]

         ‘I’ll give my everything!” Kyn replied, as every second he wasted waiting had evoked the sense of fear and wary about the war. Sir Aaron looked discontent. He gave his last smile to Kyn before he pirouetted and took off downhill, towards the red army. His shadow that covered Kyn suddenly disappeared in a flash. Normally Sir Aaron would never left Kyn that way, but this time had made Kyn completely flummoxed and worried. He boggled for a while.

          “M-master, wait !” Kyn frantically straighten up, before he made a high jump at the cliff where Sir Aaron had went. There, he saw his master swiftly running down the hill like a shooting star plummeting down the earth. Kyn sensed something was wrong. The unique blue aura possessed by his master slowly seemed to fade. just like Kyn, Sir Aaron had the same ability to see through aura within people. In fact, he was the one who had taught Kyn. Somehow at a point, Kyn was able to gather all his might and scurried towards Sir Aaron.

        Even with his power, Kyn had trouble to go after Sir Aaron. He saw the blue aura of his master suddenly stopped and glowed brighter, which made Kyn came to a halt as well. He sensed further that Sir Aaron raised his staff, before stretching his arm backward, took aim and threw his staff. It landed and spiked directly at the edge of Kyn’s right foot.

           “W-what the…” Kyn flabbergasted. The staff started to glow brightly now. Kyn felt a strange feeling of numbness on his legs and all over his body. Frankly, he was not able to move, even a sibgle muscle. The incandescence og the light grew stronger, before the diamond emitted a strange power that slowly sucking up Kyn into the staff.

      “N-no…! Why master? How could you betray me..!” His voice echoed up the whole canyon. His body felt really light, and he was being sucked and pulled into the glowing staff, before he completely vanished. A couple drops of tear fell on to the earth.

          The Tree Of Life seemed to give out sound as it was wailing now. Both legions marched closer, and they prepared for the battle. Sir Aaron looked up to see a red unicorn and a blue harpy clashed and fought with each other. He clenched his fist tightly and ran faster. Somehow, the crystals that scattered all  over the land looked pale. Even the royal castle, which had a lot of crystals embed on its walls and gardens faded. From the sky, it looked like two different colours of liquid merged together. Two mastodons from each sides clashed and hit each other.

         The blue one fell on to the ground, and the red one was ready to stomp, but it was just before a rock-made snake from the blue army curled around and constricted tightly around the red mastodon’s body, leaving it to wail in pain. Hell hounds from both sides leaped high and shot fire breaths, as the unicorns now swooped lower, before ascending again after shot powerful beams across the land. The catastrophe was terrible. Hundreds of harpies fell on to the ground with their bodies burnt, of their heads were gone. Two great mastodons clobbered their tusks, which made a sound like a thunder striking the earth.

        Suddenly, the ground rumbled in a different way, which made all the creatures stopped fighting. The crystals glittered and shone brightly, giving out green light that flashed and brightened up the whole terrains. Somehow in a way, the anger and grief in their eyes started to disappear, dispelled by the green light that stretched out throughout the whole canyon. All of them were flummoxed, like they had been hypnotised and not knowing what was happening. It was then replaced by the look of harmony and peace that made them stopped fighting. At that point, two mastodons from each sides lumbered forward, before wailing which seemed to be the sign of reconciliation. The dazzling green light even made the whole terrains fertile again.

         The bare land suddenly was full of blooming beautiful flowers and covered with evergreen grass. Dead trees grew back again. Not only that, the river that had been dried up for months started running again. The sky became bright blue and the scary clouds were gone. Gentle breeze brushed up against every creatures and washed away their pain. The harpies and the unicorns flitted swiftly above the soar sky. The armies then turned back, before marching back to their own place. The Tree Of Life glowed brightly like it was  a clutch of beautiful diamonds.

.............................................................................................................

After a while, it went quiet. The armies were gone, the birds flew high in the sky and the fish swam happily in the river. But, there was not a single sign of Sir Aaron around, and not even a trace of him. He just…vanished.
