"I've got William." Tetsuya said as William and Tetsuya approached Turquoise and Darius.
"We have to leave soon. I think whatever is about to happen is going to be big." Turquoise blurted out
"It seems Ryuu was outnumbered by large numbers. He made several water imprisonments. Maybe we can get some information from whoever is locked inside." Williams said as he watched the pillars still twirling.
"That's his ATTACK? It hasn't ended at all. How is he still controlling that?" Darius said, shocked.
The group walked over and William started peering into each pillar. They were massive in height. About twelve feet tall, spiraling in a clockwise motion. The water movement was so rapid that you couldn't easily see inside of it. William kept walking around each pillar until.
"This one should do." William pulls out his blade and cuts against the current, slowing it down enough to where the pillar collapses. The water fell everywhere, drenching everyone in the group. On the ground, there were three amphibious warriors. Frog men. The fall was hard on them as they lost sense of up and down while in the current. "Who hired you?" William demanded.
"It was the Astro family that attacked us." The doctor that was seeing over Amatesa states. "A powerful family with connections and money. They all are born under a certain star or phase which they are named after. Crescent here is a give away to belonging to that family."
"I think it's time foe you to leave." Vlad stated as he approached Crescent. Crescent was still shocked that everything happened. "You brought them here as a setup. Why you still have blood in your body is a mercy by Amatesa."
"I didn't bring them here. I only came to escape. I just wanted to be around my family that..."
"Your family is what caused this to happen."
"Just stop fighting. If she wanted to attack us she would have already. I just need to get my leg together, and I'm going off." Amatesa said cutting in between the two.
"You have to be careful. They are probably scheming something much bigger." Crescent warned.
"If anyone has a trap for me, it better be strong enough to stop me. I will walk straight through it." Amatesa said confidently. "Vlad just sit down. We need our energy for the bigger threat. They have Teleporting magic. The people we were knocking out are just disappearing from here. We need to focus on putting another barrier up to prevent reinforcements."
"Do you have anybody in mind besides your brother?" Vlad asked.
"Yep, Chel. She should be able to pop right up." Amatesa pulled out a ruby gem, similar to one that Turquoise has. "Chel, we were attacked, can you teleport here."
"I'm already here." Chel came from a different forest path with blood dripping from her mouth. "You had an infestation of humans, so I helped myself to a few. I hope that wasn't a problem."
"Slightly, you didn't save any for me." Amatesa said jokingly. "You got here quickly. Did Ryuu reach out to you?"
"Yes, he took Rae and Crimson with him. I'm here to rebuild the barrier once I've sniffed out anymore magic users. If they're already inside, they could disrupt the process. Hey, Vlad long time no see. You're looking great." Chel shifted back to her humanoid form.
"Thank you Miss Chel. It's great seeing you as well. You're as radiant as ever."
"I can heal your wound Amatesa. I am the healer. If we hurry, we can catch up with your brother. I've never seen him so angry. He's definitely about to live up to that natural disaster title he earned. I can feel it." Chel said approaching Amatesa to help heal her with the doctor.
"Natural disaster? That's a title?" Crescent asked.
"Yes, dad acquired the title awhile back but it basically means he could just destroy an area with the power comparable to the planet." Turquoise said to Darius. "He prefers the master title cause he doesn't want to associate with that term, but he did earn it."
"And that's why you're so nervous, you don't want him to cause a lot of damage?" Darius asked.
"He always taught me, that power draws power. People want to be on top and it's hard to live a peaceful life if people are looking to demonstrate their power by defeating you. Especially if you're a dragon. We were hunted awhile back by humans. Caused a whole war. How did you miss that?"
"My village was small and didn't socialize much outside of it. My birth was the biggest thing that happened to it in a very long time." Darius replied.
Emerald came running back with cloaks for everyone. "Let's get out of here guys! This cloak is tailored with enchantments to block out the sunrays."
Bo accepted the cloaked and immediately put it on. He walked out into the sun and was not hindered by it at all. "Thank you young child."
"Based on the information given by the frog men, it lines up with Turquoise sense of direction." William stated. "We move now we might can beat Ryuu there, but I know him and he's definitely assembled a unit for war."
