"Aviva let's go"Azron spoke as Ace sent an attack towards him,he had to say that he was impressed but he didn't have time,they needed to find the gem and they needed to find it fast.
Aviva hesitated but kicked Alura back running to his side.He joint his palms together and they both disappeared.
~~~~~~~~
"We don't have enough time to do this,we need to go find the rest now"Jude spoke as his shadow tendrils destroyed the sand attack Enzo sent.
Ciara nodded,she went to stand beside him,she waved her hands and ice shards rained down,Jude enclosed both of them in his shadows and teleported to where he could feel the presence of the gem stronger.
~~~~~~~~~
"Should we keep fighting?"Kyle asked as he rose up an earth wall.
"No what if this is just a distraction,I feel we should find the others"Evette replied and Fiera agreed.
Kyle nodded and they both disappeared surprising Ryzen and the others.
~~~~~~~~
"Where are we?"Aviva asked as she followed behind Azron.
"This is where the main treasures are kept,I believe what you're looking for will be here"
"How do you know that?"
"Because that's my gem"Aviva froze as soon as she heard him,no wonder he could change matter.
"You can't be,Kyrios"she whispered.
Azron nodded"yes that's the god whose attached to me,now I hope you don't feel as threatened by my presence as you've been"
"I wasn't threatened,I'm not scared of anything"she walked closer to him"I'm the one you should feel threatened by my dear keeper"
She walked ahead of him,Azron was surprised for a few moments before he smiled to himself,he wasn't kidding when he said this girl interested him, in more ways than one.
He followed her,leading her to the room the gem was in,now he knew why Kyrios had told him to wait for her and her friends to come before he claimed the gem,to avoid the issue of not trusting him.
~~~~~~~~
"The gem is behind these doors"Jude stated.
"Yes I can feel it,how can we go past these doors?"Ciara asked.
"Ci is that you?"A voice Ciara knew all to well asked.She turned around to see Evette standing behind her,Kyle was shedding his earth armor.
"The gem's behind these doors isn't it?"Kyle asked.
Jude nodded"at least we're ahead of Alura and the rest"
"How do we get past it though?"Evette asked.
"What's this writing?"Ciara traced the inscription with her fingers.
"Only the blood of a royal dark fae can open it"Azron spoke as he appeared before them along with Aviva who was glad she had found her friends.
"Who are you?"Jude asked,Azron walked to the door,he brought out a small dagger drawing it across his palm surprising them.
He placed his bleeding palm on the door,there was a bright light before the doors flung open with a thud.
"That means...?"Evette started and he had a feeling he knew where she was going"Yes,Azron,Crown prince of the dark faes at your presence"
The rest nearly dropped their jaws in surprise.
Jude stayed silent before Mila whispered something to him,he nodded at her words"Thank you for your help,the gem is yours"he told Azron.
Azron walked up where the gem was and held it,as soon as he touched it,a surge of power spread through him,he could feel the presence of the other gem as Kyrios had described to him.
"Let's go after the rest"he spoke to Jude.
"Won't that be taking you away from your royal duties"
"Don't worry"Azron reassured him and he nodded.
He led them to where they could rest before they would go after the rest the next morning.
~~~~~~~~~
"Damn we got here late"Arkin commented once he could not find the gem.
"Now I'm sure Layton will have our heads on a platter"Ryzen commented.
Vida nearly laughed but the serious look on Arkin's face made her quiet.
"Let's go after the next one immediately"Yona spoke and the rest nodded in agreement.
~~~~~~~~~
"Mila,get out"Ezra paused time before making his way towards her.
"Ezra,I don't want anything to happen to my child"Mila spoke placing her hands on her slightly noticable belly.
"Nothing will,I promise"
Jude watched the scene in front of him,it wasn't the first time he was seeing the past,he knew there was something connecting him and Mila's child,he just didn't know what and he didn't have the courage to talk to Mila about it,he didn't want to touch a sensitive topic.
He closed his eyes and once he opened it,he was back with his friends,he looked at Ciara who was sitting beside him,she was looking at the sky.
"It's funny"she spoke and he sat up to hear the rest"if anyone had told me all these would happen,I would've called them crazy,but here I am"
Jude smiled because he could relate"I know sometimes I feel like I'll wake up one day and all this would just be a dream"
Ciara nodded and they continued talking as the night went on.
~~~~~~~~~~
Kyle stared at the moving clouds.
"What are you thinking about?"Evette asked bringing his mind to earth.
"You"he replied almost immediately and the confident smile on her face fell.
"I don't understand"
"You don't need to,you just need to know"he continued.
"You shouldn't be doing that"she spoke.
"Doing what,thinking about you?"Kyle raised one brow at her.
"Yes,it's not fair on Liana"
Kyle stayed silent before responding"do you think it's fair on me?"
Evette was surprised"what do you mean?"
He continued"do you think it's fair when people make decisions concerning your life for you"
Evette stayed silent as she placed two and two together she felt bad,she had always been judging him without knowing him,she already had an image of him planted in her head,at that moment she decided to stop.
She sat down beside him surprising him"I'm sorry,I shouldn't have been quick to judge you,you're right it's not fair when people make decisions for you"
"No problem,thank you"he responded and she smiled"for what"she asked.
"For being here,I hardly have people who know what goes on in my life"
"You have me now"
Kyle smiled at her response.
~~~~~~~~
"I really need to learn how to control the weather"Aviva thought as she stared at the moving clouds.
"Really?"A feminine voice spoke startling her.
She was the only one here,she thought as she looked around,she saw a dark skinned woman moving towards her,her black hair was tied in two buns with the rest falling behind,her beautiful brown eyes stared at her,she was adorned with jewelry across her body.
"Who are you?"Aviva asked getting her stance ready.
"Really,you don't know me how do you want to reach me if you don't even know me"the woman spoke with a smile.
Aviva's eyes widened,she bent her head down"I'm sorry for my disrespect,I'm so honored to meet you"
"Stand up child,I am Saar,goddess who controls the weather and storms"the woman replied"and I'm here to help you because I couldn't help Rena when she needed it"
"Was Rena your friend?"Aviva asked.
"Yes she was but I was away when the war with Alaster happened,I couldn't be there to help her so I'll make sure I help you"
Aviva nodded.
"Are you ready, child?"
"Yes,"Aviva replied without hesitation.
"Good, let's go meet the clouds."She held her hand forward, and Aviva took it.
