Arrea- “Kate step back.”
Kate- “But-”
Arrea- “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Gremmy- “Tch….”
Gremmy- “Die already.”
Arrea- “Look out!”
Arrea pushed me out of the way and then dodged the blast of air Gremmy shot.
Kate- “You don’t have to do this Gremmy, your sister would not want you to destroy the world!”
Gremmy- “What the hell would you know about my sister!”
*Shots another air blast*
Arrea- “Kate!”
Arrea pushed me out the away but this time-
Arrea- “Gah!”
Kate- “Arrea!”
Gremmy- “You can’t even fight me, you’re too busy protecting her.”
Arrea- “Weren’t you protected once?”
Gremmy- “Grrrr….”
Gremmy kept shooting blast after blast and because they’re directed at me, Arrea kept taking the hits for me.
Kate- “Arrea no! You don’t have to protect me.”
Arrea- “I won’t lose you Kate.”
*Arrea kept taking the hits until she used her webs at the right time between shots*
Gremmy- “Argh, my eyes!”
Arrea- “Now….”
*Arrea moved fast and punched Gremmy to the ground.”
Gremmy- “Gah!”
Arrea- “You may be a God, but you still have the body of a child.”
Gremmy- “Grrrr.”
Arrea- “Now stay down. *Spraying him down with web*”
Gremmy- “You think this will hold me?!”
Arrea- “! *Cough*”
Kate- “Arrea….”
Arrea began coughing and it won’t stop, what’s happening?
*Water comes out of Arrea’s mouth and then envelops her in a bubble of water, threatening to drown her*
Kate- “Arrea!”
Gremmy- “*Snaps out of the web bindings* Stop whining, aren’t you going to help her?”
Kate- “I-”
Gremmy- “No! Of course not, you’re a weakling that hides behind her when the going get tough! You weakling!”
He’s right I’ve always done that but I don’t want use it….
Gremmy- “Now you’re going to watch her suffer but that’s not all….”
*Gremmy manifest a water whip*
Gremmy- “You’re going to suffer alongside her.”
Arrea- “Run Kate! *Tries to say*”
Kate- “*Slowly backs away* Arrea….”
No, I will not let this happen.
*Stops retreating*
Even if it hurts, even if I want to run.
I can’t let Arrea die because of me.
Gremmy- “Oh, so you’re not running?”
Kate- “I’m not.”
Gremmy- “What can a weakling like you do?”
Kate- “*Breaths in and out*”
Just like before….
*Heat begins rise*
Gremmy - “What the-”
*Explosion*
I shoot towards Gremmy using the fire as a boost then headbutted him.
Gremmy- “Gah.”
Kate- “!”
Gremmy- “Back off! *Swings water whip*”
Kate- “*Dodge*”
I plant my hand on his chest and try to burn him but I….can’t.
Gremmy- “Tch!*Back away*”
Gremmy swings his whip and I use the flames to evaporate the water while closing in, If I can’t burn then I’ll just beat him up!
*Punch to the face*
Gremmy- “Grrrr.”
Kate- “!”
Gremmy- “….?”
Kate- “That’s not going to work on me, I’ll just melt the water before it appears in my body.”
Gremmy- “!”
He summons another gust of wind that blasts me off of him but I use the jets of flames to keep me steady.
Gremmy- “If I just keep you away with wind, Arrea will eventually die and you’ll lose!”
Kate- “!!”
Arrea- “*Shakes head = Don’t worry about me*”
What can I do?
Should just…..
No I can’t.
I try to force my way through the wind with all the fire I can create.
It’s working but not fast enough!
Gremmy- “Hahaha! It won’t be long now.”
Kate- “Tch….”
Maybe I can….
Kate- “Why do you want to destroy world Gremmy?”
Gremmy- “Obviously because this world took my sister, this world does not deserve to continue!”
Kate- “But would she want this?”
Gremmy- “You don’t know my sister!”
*Wind gets stronger*
Kate- “!”
Gremmy- “My sister was beautiful and kind, she protected me and the worshipers even when she was not that much older than me. Yet….”
*Wind gets stronger*
Gremmy- “Your Dullahan took her from me alongside other mythics !”
Kate- “!”
….
Gremmy- “*Starting to shed tears* Ariel was my whole world, yet you two do that in front of me?”
*Wind get weaker*
Almost there.
Gremmy- “*Crying* I-I just….”
*Wind gets a lot weaker*
Now!
I increased my speed with a sudden burst of flames that sent me flying towards Gremmy.
Gremmy- “!!”
*Punch to the face*
After landing I pushed Gremmy’s face to the ground while keeping a tight grip on him.
Kate- “If that’s how your sister is then stop tarnishing her memory with mass genocide!”
Gremmy- “But-”
Kate- “If you understand the feeling of loss, then don’t do that to me and Arrea.”
Gremmy- “….”
Kate- “Release her!”
Gremmy- “NO! This world allowed you two to flourish but took my life mate from me. Why should I allow this!?”
Kate- “Do it or I’ll-”
Gremmy- “You won’t do anything, you’ve only used your fire for movement. You can’t bring yourself to kill me.”
Kate- “!”
Kate- “Then I’ll use fire to-”
No….I can’t. What if I hurt Arrea or maybe even….
Then what do I do?
Arrea- “….”
Gremmy- “Just wait a little longer and she’ll be dead, then you’ll be just like me, alone.”
….
*Kate gets off of Gremmy and sprints towards Arrea’s prison*
Gremmy- “Wait, what are you doing!?
Arrea….
*Breaths in a lot of air and jumps in the water prison*
*Splash*
Arrea- “….”
Kate- “….”
Gremmy- “What the….”
*Kiss*
Arrea- “!”
*Breathing air into Arrea*
And now all I have to do is slowly evaporate the water, please bear with it Arrea.
Arrea- “*Closes eyes*”
After some time I evaporated the water and we slid down on the floor, free from the prison.
*Ends Kiss*
Arrea- “Kate you….”
Kate- “Arrea! You made it! *Hugs her*”
Arrea- “Y-Yeah, thank you Kate.”
Gremmy- “*Stunned* No way….”
Gremmy- “Again you do this….”
Gremmy- “You son of bitch….”
Arrea- “We still have to deal him.”
Kate- “Yeah”
Gremmy- “I’m going to kill you.”
We stand up prepared to end this one way or the other but due to me being wet something slid out of my pocket and it’s….my pocket watch.
I picked it up and to my surprise it begins to glow brightly.
Gremmy- “What is that?”
Arrea- “Kate?”
Kate- “I don’t-”
At that moment the light enveloped the entire void and after we shielded our eyes, the light dissipated to reveal-
???- “Kate.”
Kate- “M-Mom? *Eyes very wide*”
Mother- “I recorded this message and spell in the pocket watch I gave you because, well, because of that divination one of villagers made regarding the possibility that our world will crumble due to everyone knowing about our kind.”
Everyone- “….”
Mother- “It’s highly unlikely but just in case I made this message and spell just for you. In the event that this happens, we….we might not be with you anymore.”
Kate- “*Shedding tears*”
Mother- “I don’t know what will happen or what you might be going through but when you’re lost or don’t know where to go, use that fire magic you love so much on this pocket watch for this message to play.”
Mother- “Kaitlynn, no matter where or what you’re doing or have done, I will always love you. You have an inner strength waiting to be used by your creativity, I see you using created fire in creative ways. Use that to navigate through your obstacles and you don’t have to do it alone, find someone you can trust on whatever journey you’re on.”
Mother- “If that’s not enough then use the spell sealed here, a manipulation/creation spell that allows you to speak to the dead for a limited time.”
Everyone- “!!”
Mother- “If you’re still lost and I’m gone, then call to me Kate. I’m your mother and even in death I’ll come when you call.”
Kate- “*Crying* Mom I-”
Mother- “Just call out to the soul you want to talk to and they will come in a spectral form”
Kate- “Mot- *Stops then looks at Arrea and then at Gremmy*”
Kate- “Mom, you said enough I know what I have to do and I have that trusted someone now. Thank you.”
….
Kate- “I call out to Ariel, the daughter of the Rain God of this Island and sister to Gremmy!”
Gremmy- “!!!!”
Mother- “*Smiles* That’s my girl.”
The light expands again but this time we don’t need to close our eyes, it condenses quickly into a sublime form.
*Swoosh*
A girl with beautiful red hair and slim body, in the same garb as Gremmy appears.
Ariel- “….*Opens eyes*”
Ariel - “Where?”
Gremmy- “Sister!!!!*Runs up to Ariel and tries to hug her but goes through her*”
Gremmy- “Ouch!”
Ariel- “Gremmy?”
Ariel -“Oh yeah….I died.”
Ariel- “Are you dead too?”
Gremmy- “*Gets up* No! Due to a spell I can talk to you for little bit.”
Ariel- “Then what is this void.”
Gremmy- “….”
Ariel- “Gremmy?”
Gremmy- “This world took you from me.”
Ariel- “?”
Gremmy- “This….This world does not deserve to continue!”
Ariel- “….”
Gremmy- “I summoned a dark god and became it’s host to destroy this terrible world that separated you from me yet for some reason lets those 2 stay together!”
Gremmy- “I hate what they did to you Ariel!”
Gremmy- “*Crying* I can’t let this world continue!”
Ariel- “….”
*Slap*
Gremmy- “!”
Ariel- “My hand may have phased through you but you know that I’m mad right?”
Gremmy- “Why….”
Ariel- “Did mom and dad die for nothing! Did I die for nothing!”
Gremmy- “You shouldn’t have died at all!”
Ariel- “But we did and we did for you.”
Gremmy- “….”
Ariel- “You would spit on our sacrifice by destroying the world and yourself?”
Gremmy- “….”
Ariel- “*Sigh* Remember what father used to say, A God’s duty is to his people and to make sure that they are fulfilled and happy in a balanced way.”
Gremmy- “….”
Ariel- “You’re the last god, your people are now the entire world and destroying it would not only spit on our sacrifice but on our legacy and duty.”
Gremmy- “Why should I do that when they did that to you and everyone else?”
Ariel- “Because you are a God. If the world is in a bad place then lead it someplace better, if there is evil in the world punish it, if there is good in the world nurture it but never destroy it all because of a few. That’s what God does.”
Gremmy- “*Weeping*But….you were the victims.”
Ariel- “So you are okay separating a brother from his sister like Dullahan did?”
Gremmy- “….”
Ariel- “*Kneeling* Gremmy I love you and wish you the best but please, don’t do this.”
Gremmy- “*Collapses on his knees*”
Ariel- “I guess our time is almost up. I’m glad I got to see you again.”
Gremmy- “I’m….glad too.”
Gremmy- “*Crying* I…. I promise….to become a great God and to not let what happened to us happen again!”
Ariel- “*Smile* I’m glad and proud to be your sister Gremmy.”
Gremmy- “*Crying* Ariel….”
And like that Ariel faded into the light.
*Booom*
No later did the void begin to shake.
Arrea- “What’s happening!”
Kate- “Gremmy?”
Gremmy- “The Dark God is collapsing, without a willing and hateful host it can’t maintain it’s shape in this plane of reality anymore.”
Gremmy- “Heh, you’re lucky. If you came later then I would’ve been fused with it and even if I didn’t want to it would’ve destroyed everything.”
Gremmy- “Heh, you two are really blessed by the world huh?”
Arrea- “I wouldn't say that….”
Kate- “We just met someone who could heal our wounds.”
Arrea- “Maybe you can find someone like that one day.”
Gremmy- “….”
Soon the void collapsed and everything went white again.
….
….
….
I wake up groggy and tired. I look around to see Arrea next to me still asleep while holding my hand.
Kate- “*Smile*”
I kissed her on the head, let go of her hand and then looked around for Gremmy.
Though the smoke I eventually found him unconscious too but to my surprise I found Dullahan walking towards him.
Kate- “Dulla-”
Wait something feels off, he looks different and Kirin….
Not too long after he draws his sword and is about to kill Gremmy!
I dash towards him and try to stop Dullahan.
Daher- “!!”
Kate- “Stop! *Holding her arms out while Gremmy is behind her.*”
Daher- “Kate, I’m glad that your alive but get out of my way.”
Kate- “What happened to you and Kirin, why do you want to kill Gremmy so much?”
Daher- “Are you blind, he tried to kill you and Arrea plus the world. He’s too dangerous to be left alive.”
Kate- “He has repented and is willing to help the world not burn it.”
Daher- “Like I believe anything he says, out of my way.”
Kate- “No.”
Daher- “Why are being so stubborn?”
Kate- “Because….I know what if feels like to lose someone dear. I found some peace with it and I want him to live to find that peace too, to make up for what he has done.”
Daher- “….”
Daher- “I….don’t care.”
Kate- “!”
Kate- “A-Are you really Dullahan?”
Daher- “I’m Daher the Ripper and if you don’t get out of my way I’ll kill you too, see how that feels.”
Kate- “*Shiver*”
Kate- “I-I still won’t move.”
Daher- “….Then die.”
I’m sorry Arrea, I close my eyes to the coming blow.
But it never comes.
Daher- “!!”
Oroshi Kirin- “*Stares at Daher while protecting Kate*”
Daher- “Not this again, why did you protect her Kirin?”
Oroshi Kirin- “*Looks down*”
Daher- “Do you want to kill her?”
Oroshi Kirin- “*Shakes head*”
Daher- “Then….”
Kirin is protecting me then starts to change color from the foreign Black back to his emerald fur but as he does he begins to buck.
Daher- “What are you doing!? If you do that then you’ll….”
Kirin- “*Nod*”
Kate- “?”
Kirin then falls and begins to bleed from every part of his body but especially his head.
Daher- “Kirin! *Goes to him and cradles his fading body*”
Kirin- “*Breathing Heavily*”
Daher- “Don’t do this to me! I already lost so much, you’re suppose to be my partner through it all, why do this?”
*Kirin used his horn to draw words on the ground*
Daher- “Your True Nature?”
Kirin- “*Nod*”
*Kirin draws again*
Daher- “My true nature? I-I don’t know anymore….”
Kirin….
He’s dead.
Daher?- “….”
Daher?- “I’m a horsemen without his steed once again.”
Daher?- “To do that….I don’t know which part of me is real Kirin.”
Kate- “Dullahan?”
Daher?- “You wanted to save Gremmy, fine go ahead. I don’t care anymore.”
I let down my guard and collapsed in exhaustion.
Is it over?
*Foot steps*
!
I got my guard up again and looked towards the sound and saw someone through the smoke walking towards us.
Oh yeah, Hashi went to fight Moryuu.
Is this him….did he win or….
