Far from the war grounds, a battle to prevent an unspeakable death had begun, A foe she never thought she would ever face, till this day.
Aria, confetti holding her whip, looks at a smiling foe, Lucky, a member of the Luminary. " You planned to separate us, didn't you?" Aria questions Lucky as she moves slowly to the side.
Lucky puts down the bag he was carrying, and he spreads his arms, preparing for battle.
Lucky: You're right, I have planned all of this.
He walks towards unarmed, " I do not need a weapon against you, Aria." Lucky takes a fighting stance, like a martial artist, and he stood firm,
Aria: Don't underestimate me or Zick.
Aria holds her whip tight and charges towards Lucky, but Lucky stays on the defensive and stands still to counter, Aria uses her and attempt a strike, Lucky dodges and hold the whip, He uses the whip along with her momentum to pull her toward him, and into the stomach he punches her so hard she spat out blood, the he grabbed her by the arm and smashed her to the ground and hold her in an arm bar position, forcing her to let go of the whip.
Lucky: What's wrong, Aria? I thought I was weak. You are no threat to me.
Lucky increases the pressure as he increases his grip on her, and the amount of pain she experiences increases.
Lucky: This is boring. I thought you could be more of a challenge for me.
Aria uses the dust on the to blind Lucky and doing that she actually get an opportunity for an escape and she take that chance, with that chance she sees Lucky's vision obscured, Out of thin air she changes the molecules in the air into water " water style, Liquid emergence " she calls out her move and the hole area become covered by water,
Lucky gets his vision back, and he opens his eyes. He sees the area above him, and the Area is covered by water, as well as in the ground, water that reaches knee level in height. Lucky seems to have a concerning look because he was trapped in Aria's domain, " This is my full ability, I call it Aquarium ." She looks at what seems to be a helpless Lucky.
Lucky: You had this trick up your sleeve huh? Well I wont make it easy for you.
Lucky charges toward her with incredible speed. Aria maneuvers the water around his feet and solidifies it. She makes tentacles out of the water in the sky, and the water holds Lucky by the army and solidifies as well. Holding him tight and rendering him useless. " I have a question for you, genius."
Lucky: Holding me hostage like this will not make me talk to you.
Aria: I don't have to talk to you. You forget who I am, do you? Well remember me
Aria touches Lucky's forehead, and with that, Lucky's eyes start to turn black." I told you, I don't have to ask you, I will ask him." The whole body of Lucky turns dark black. And the Aquarium techniques cancel out, and Lucky's arms and legs get realized. The dark Lucky sits down and looks at Aria. "I have a question for you, Ancestor. Please help me understand this."
Lucky Dark: "I know what question you'll ask about my child. But what will you give me in return for the answer?"
Aria: I have no use for that body you're using right now.
Lucky Dark: Very well, you were about to ask me about the lineage of the Blackwood clan, the history behind their blessing. Am I correct?
Aria looms at the dark figure and nods her head in agreement.
Lucky dark: The Blackwood clan was not always blessed, and they were not a clan in the past. The Blackwood clan was a certain number of people who were pure of heart, blessed by the crystal of life.
Lucky dark: The reason for that has nothing to do with this story. What I will tell you is
The first Blackwood to be blessed fought alongside Theodoros thousands of years ago. Some may say they were friends. The lineage of the Blackwood has its own unique path.
Lucky Dark: With this great power they possess, they were considered outcasts for many years. A clan was formed to form a family of outcasts. 400 years ago, they got accepted into the kingdom of Electria, only to be cast out by the current king 20 years ago, bringing about war between Ignisia and Electria. This war eliminated 80% of the Blackwood population, and the rest were brought to stay in Ignisia.
Lucky dark: This is all that I know about the clan. If you want more, you increase your payment.
Then, at that very moment, the dark body of Lucky disappeared, then at that moment, Aria finally had a bit of relief.
An explosion occurs in the forest where Zick ended up after they were both separated.
Aria worried; she quickly stood up and ran into the forest to aid Zick. She runs at an amazing speed, skipping rocks and dodging trees so she can reach him.
She finally arrived only to find out that both of them are lying down. Then she slowly walks toward Zick with her guard up. Then she arrives at where he is, then she checks on his impulse by grabbing his arm and putting the tip of her finger in the right position to check the impulse. She felt the impulse and relief was all over her body, as she was happy to see that Zick survived the battle with Mirrow.
" Your family has been through a lot in the past, and I won't let you suffer the same fate as Zick. I will fight for you. She grabs him and carries him on her back, and starts walking in the direction of Zowe.
WHERE WERE YOU?
I WAS SUMMONED BY HER
SHE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WILL YOUR POWER.
I WILL NOT LET A HUMAN FREELY WILL ME.
