§§§Chapter13 - Revenge§§§

-Three days after Yuhef's death; Wizards Tower.

Lightning struck, and rain poured. It had been hours since Gerråha sent the search party out to find his young assistant. He was begining to worry, without Yuhef's back up they would not be able to attack Flare. He sighed, and walked into the room that Salina was impatiently waiting in.

"We might as well go now" Gerråha suggested. "It's pitch black outside, they'll never see an attack coming. No matter how large."

Salina nodded in agreement and stood up, picking up her supplies. "Shall I scout ahead?" She asked, almost in a growl.

"Do what you wish" Gerråha answered, gathering a bag of battle runes. "I might be another hour."

"Why so long?" Salina asked, sharpening her sword.

"My technique is a bit rusty, I need to warm up to I am not defeated easily." Gerråha answered, creating a small ball of air in his hands.

"Whatever" Salina scowled, and turned into a crow. Without looking back at Gerråha, she flew out the window and into the night.

***

CRACK!

Flare swung awake at the thunder, feeling his heart racing at great speeds. He sighed and got out of his bed. He looked out of his tent, and was instantly soaked by the pouring water. Growling, he sat down in the middle of his tent.

He closed his eyes, and began taking deep breaths to calm himself. Smoke poured from his body as he did this, and visions of the mages flashed before his eyes.

His fists tightened, and his eyes clenched tighter. He began to shake lightly as the images became more clear. He saw Gerråha laughing, and his eyes swung open. He scowled to himself, and grabbed a cloak and tele-tab from his supplies.

After covering himself with the cloak, he broke the magical rock and fell into an invisible hole on the ground.

***

Gerråha swung his arms again, his magics shattering the steel wall in front of him. Without admiring his work, he returned to his supply room and refilled his bag with runes. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

He took a deep breath, and made his way out of his room. "I am sorry, boy" He said to himself. "But for the sake of humanity, this must be done."

***

Flare raced across the long bridge that connected the mainland to the tiny island which contained the massive Wizards Tower.

Thanks to the rain, the two guard mages had not seen him slip past there front lines. As he neared the tower, he began to think of a battle plan.

***

"Well, everything seems clear" a mage reported to his partner. The two were stationed on the roof of the massive tower, and normally had a clear view of everyone coming in, and everyone leaving.

"Any sign of the search team?" The second mage asked, leaning back in his chair.

"No, but it looks like someone is trying to get into the tower down there." The first guard noticed as he saw Flare approaching the door.

"Alright then, finally we can have some credit around here" the second mage chuckled, cracking his knuckles.

***

Flare tried opening the door, only to find that it was locked shut. After cussing under his breath, he began focusing all he knew about his abilities. In seconds, he was rocketing straight up to the roof of the tower.

***

"Well, do we attack or not?" The second mage asked, staring down at Flare.

"Y-" The first mage began. "Is it just me, or is it getting bigger?"

***

Flare released his smoke line just as he rocketed past two guards, and allowed himself to land perfectly behind them. At the same moment, both mages released a wave of magic into his back.

Expecting this, Flare flipped out of the attack and charged the two mages, punching one off the edge and filling the seconds lungs with smoke.

***

THUD!

Gerråha jolted out the front door after hearing a crash, and saw one of his patrol units dead on the ground. He recognized him as one of the guards from the roof, and immediately made his way towards the stairs. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

***

Flare quickly, and quietly, descended the stairs and made his way to the cell room. Seeing no one in there, he rushed into the experiment room.

***

Gerråha flew up the stairs and met the other guard, who had died as well. Now knowing that they were under attack, Gerråha went back downstairs and rang the alert bell, which was followed by waves of mages coming from there rooms.

***

Flare slipped through the rushing mages, and still managed complete camouflage. "We are under attack!" Flare heard Gerråha yell. "Find this intruder and kill him on contact!"

Flare chuckled, and slipped into one of the closets.

***

"We are under attack! Find this intruder and kill him on contact!" Gerråha yelled to his disciples, fearing his life.

The mages saluted there teacher, and spread throughout the tower. Gerråha nervously scanned every room, and stayed close to one of the other mages at all times.

***

Flare laughed, seeing Gerråha cowering behind his army, and silently sneaked up on them.

***

"SIR!" One of the mages yelled, before releasing his death rattle. Gerråha and the two mages with him spun around and saw Flare kneeling on the ground in front of them.

"Attack!" Gerråha ordered, making way to do so himself.

Flare smiled and filled the room with a dense smog. Gerråha coughed his way out of the smoke screen, and looked back in for his two guards. When the smoke cleared, Flare was gone and they were dead.

"Come out and show yourself coward!" Gerråha yelled, hearing a thud behind him. He spun around and felt toxic air run down his throat. His vision went black, and he fell to his knees coughing up black air.

"Torture isn't fun, is it?" Flare scowled above Gerråha, pulling a small dagger from his belt.

§§§Chapter14 - Abandoned§§§

Blaze swung awake at a distant scream. It was the scream of many people, and the sound of rushing fire. Ignoring it, he got up and made his way to Flares tent. The sun had just began to rise, and Blaze was getting ready to advance in the training.

He opened Flares tent, flinched, and teleported away, cussing to himself.

***

"Help me! Please!" A female elf screamed as she was consumed by a black fire, leaving nothing but a charred skeleton. the elven warriors were no longer wasting time. The few warriors they had gathered the supply of crystal weapons and moved to kill the entity attacking them.

Eralf hissed, his long black—snake-like—tongue taunting the warriors. The elven soldiers took the taunts with no emotion, and slowly advanced on the shadow beast.

Eralf growled and unleashed a wave of black fire. The elven warriors simply hid behind there crystal shield, and continued there march. Eralf chuckled to himself, and tackled the nearest guard, ripping it to shreds. The rest of the warriors grabbed spears off there backs and hurled them.

Five struck Eralf clean in the back, the rest missing. The beast, however, literally absorbed the crystalline weapons and stood, unharmed. "Fools" it hissed. "Crystal is not a worthy weapon to a shadowine." It finished its statement by rising the fallen warrior, as an ally.

***

Flare panted, and wiped the blood off his face. He looked at his victims, and chuckled. After finishing Gerråha, the rest of his students charged for the kill. With sheer luck, Flare had managed to kill all of them without as much as a scratch.

He spent the next hour scrubbing the blood out of his clothes so he could slip them past Blaze. After finishing, he casually made his way to the bridge as if nothing happened. The air in front of the tower was black with vultures and other dead-eating creatures. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

He slowly walked down the road, slightly chuckling at his unlikely victory. He had just cleared the bridge, when he was tackled by something large. The next thing he knew, he was back in the plain where he and Blaze had been training.

"What the!?!" Flare asked himself, looking around in shock. "How did I-" He began before Blaze grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around, a furious look in his eye.

"What?" Flare asked jokingly.

"You betrayed my trust, and my teachings!" Blaze growled, trying not to scream.

"So?" Flare asked, feeling Blaze's large hand make hard contact with his face, causing him to fall to the ground.

"What did I tell you!?!" Blaze yelled. "I taught you to use fire for good, to save the world! I even said, fire is not revenge!"

"He was asking for it!" Flare yelled back, swinging at Blaze's chest.

Blaze quickly grabbed and twisted Flare's hand and swung his knee into his chest. "How can the world trust you to save it, when we can't even trust you to be responsible with your abilities!?!"

"Well maybe this wouldn't have happened if those mages weren't such ass-holes!" Flare roared, again lashing out at Blaze.

Blaze was not as merciful this time, he caught Flares hand and burned it, listening to Flares cries of pain. "If I can't trust you with a simple instruction, then I can't trust you to save anyone! I am done training you, I am going to stop these creatures myself!"

"I thought-" Flare began before Blaze casted a telethor spell, sending him to the fields bordering Kinoob.

***

Eralf triumphantly walked over the burnt Elven city, his slaves of darkness munching on the skeletons of the deceased. "Return to the Land of Eternal Shadows." He ordered. "I have one last task before returning myself."

§§§Chapter15 - Kat§§§

Flare stood in disbelief, and fear, at the massive walls of Kinoob. Looking up at the walls, memories of his childhood returned to him. For ten minutes, he stood there just thinking. It had been months since he had been home, but he thought that no one would care.

With a heavy heart, he spent the next hour walking around the wall to the front gate, where a line of guards were just opening the gates for the morning. "Hello guards." Flare greeted, trying to keep a low profile.

"Halt!" one of the guards, obviously the leader, ordered as Flare tried to pass. "Where is your traders permit?"

"Oh, I'm not a trader. I'm a citizen." Flare answered, again trying to enter.

"When did you leave?" The chief asked, not believing Flare.

"About a few moths ago" Flare answered, his anger beginning to rise. "Now let me pass."

"No!" The chief shouted and grabbed Flare by his shoulder, but instantly reeled back. "What the hell re you!?!" The chief asked, holding his singed hand.

"Fire" Flare dully responded and entered the city. As he walked the street that led to his home, the people that knew him fled to there houses. Flare hung his head and continued walking. He heard screams and crying from near everyone that saw him.

He was thought of as a beast, a beast of flaming death. He shook at the thought and walked a little faster, his internal heat rising. He eventually reached a small house—his house—and went to his room.

***

Kat walked casually down the same road Flare had taken a few minutes earlier, taking notice to how empty things seemed. Curious, she knocked on her neighbors door and asked what was going on.

"It's your son. he's home" Kat's friend nervously replied and slammed the door shut. Kat's heart jumped, and she looked at her house. Sighing, she walked inside and made way to the place she knew Flare would be. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Kat quietly opened Flares door, and saw him sitting on the floor, depressed. She quietly entered and looked down at him.

***

Flare sat on his floor, staring at nothing, just sitting there. His hands slightly shivered, and he was quietly pouting. "What is it?" Kat asked, causing Flare to jump to his feet.

"What!?! Where did you come from!?!" Flare asked, backing away from his mother.

"I just came home, why are you backing away from me?" Kat asked, taking a step towards Flare.

"I don't want to hurt you" Flare responded, touching his furniture, setting it ablaze. "I'm some kind of beast."

"Just because you can control fire doesn't-" Kat began before being cut off.

"No. I can't" Flare sadly growled. "I can only produce a smog and heat. And I have no control over it. WHAT AM I!?!" Flare yelled, and fell to the ground pouting.

Kat sighed, and sat down. "You're one of them" she answered without looking at him.

"One of what?" Flare asked, looking up at his mother.

"I might as well tell you everything." She responded. "Fifteen years ago... Kinoob was peacefully ruled by allies of the resurrected Dark King. One day.... when the king and Dark king left for a training session... there enemies came in and took over. It was to late for them to fight back, so all the heroes retreated, leaving us to be ruled by the tyrant Guntad.

But, at the same time, four stone slates fell from the sky as meteors and were hidden in four locations. The ocean, the desert, hell, and the puts of darkness. And days after the siege.... you were abducted by a hawk-"

"And was taken to one of these slates" Flare finished... piecing together the pieces.

"It is believed that four chosen ones could only activate these stones... and that they would end this evil."

"But I thought the Dark King killed there leader in a following fight?" Flare asked, standing up.

"No. He wounded the general and sentenced him to prison. But that isn't what's important." Kat answered. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"What's important is that someday you will have to fight with the other three chosen ones. Including the Dark king."

Flare took all this in, and nodded. "But what now? I was abandoned by my mentor for taking revenge. According to him, I had to fulfill some destiny before joining these chosen ones."

"The volcano" Kat quickly responded. "In three days, it will erupt. And when it does... you must stop it. Powers or nor, you are still the only hope of man-kind. If you don't... then there will be no chosen ones to stop the evil that will follow."

Flare nodded, making his way for the door. "Just remember this" Kat said, stopping him. "If you really want something, you can have it with work and belief."

Flare nodded and walked outside, his confidence re boosted. he now knew what to do to stop whatever terror this eruption would bring. With high confidence, Flare launched himself into the air and over the wall. A hawk cried behind him, but he paid no mind to it.

§§§Chapter16 - Salina§§§

Running as fast as he could, Flare tore threw the forest bordering Kinoob to the volcano in the back. He constantly heard a hawk crying behind him, but tried to ignore it. After a while, he finally looked back to see what the deal was with it and tripped.

Groaning, he sat up and looked at the hawk, which was perched on a tree. He looked it directly in the eye, and its eyes widened, and turned black. Flare got up and took a few steps back before the hawk fell to the ground and began to take on a new form.

Four limbs sprung from the hawk and stood up. It finished its transformation, and turned out to be a tall, yet dangerous looking, woman. "Whoa, how did you do that?" Flare asked jokingly, reaching for a dagger he had taken from the wizards tower.

"Do not joke demon" Salina cruelly hissed. She pulled out a black crossbow and aimed. "You're pathetic little tirade ends here."

Flare whipped the dagger in front of him, just barely blocking the bolt. He then swung it between his fingers and taunted Salina to attack again.

"Think you're funny, huh?" Salina growled, pulling out a large two-handed sword.

"Just a little" Flare joked, holding up his dagger made of nothing but pure bronze. Salina did not but scowl, and swing her large sword down at Flare. Taking a huge chance, Flare stood still and let the blade come down on him.

The sword hit his arm and sliced down, but did not cut him. Instead, his body melted the sword, leaving not a scratch on Flare. Salina scowled, and began shape shifting again.

Flare watched in awe as the woman's form went from human, to beast. Salina snorted in her animal form and charged Flare. Flare foolishly stood still, only to find himself being driven into the wall. "Gah! Should have known" Flare coughed.

Salina snorted again and threw Flare to the ground, changing back to her original form. "What now?" Flare gagged. "Gonna skin me? Kill me? Then what will that mean for you, huh?" Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"It means a large bounty and the pride of the kill." Salina hissed, pulling a few runes from her bag.

"Can't argue with those reasons" Flare mocked. "But still, how are you going to collect the bounty if Gerråha's dead?"

Salina flinched and looked at Flare in disbelief. "You lie. If the words you speak are true, then I can just take it. This is pride now!"

"Fine, you want to keep your pride." Flare chuckled. "Then go fetch." He swung his leg up into Salinas groin and flipped to his feet.

"What are you gonna do?' Salina taunted, circling Flare. "Pollute the air until I die?"

"Worth a try" Flare enthusiastically responded, filling the air with a thick smog. "Oh Crap" flare said to himself. "This chick is literally a shape shifting-"

"Demon!?!" Salina roared through the smoke, and grabbed Flare by his neck. Flare struggled at Salinas demon grip, and began turning blue.

Salina watched the eyes of her dying victim, and smiled. Flare gagged, and tried to remember something Blaze had taught him. he looked helplessly at Salina, and tried to beg his way out of death with his eyes.

***

"Enough..." a voice rang in Salinas ear. She looked around, but did not see anyone.

"I still need him" It echoed. "You're time will come for revenge."

"No" She growled, feeling three quick strikes in her back. She released flare and fell to her knees. Flare took a deep breath and look at the wounded hunter in front of him.

"I had no idea I was that good" flare joked to himself, and grabbed Salina by the back of her hair. "Alright... now who sent you?"

Salina looked up at Flare with tears of anger and roared "Some mage. His name is Der-" Slowly Salina fell down onto the ground. Flare let her hair go and she fell limp. He looked at her back, and saw a hole burned through her flesh.

He quickly looked up, expecting the attacker to be long gone. But what he found was a dark reflection of himself, black fireballs in its hands.
