The blinding rays of the sun shone over the fallen city, signifying the end of the viking war.
"I am the unknown one," the figure said.
Nyx felt an unhindered rush of primordial energy flow through her veins, coursing around her body, it wasn't enough to hold her peak form, but to sustain her.
Your kind are scarce, you're an infinite being aren't you? Asked Nyx as she rose up, smirking, "magic has indeed returned to our world, thank you for saving me, Unknown one."
Nyx then continued, Edeth's gift is truly glorious but strenuous. I have survived it twice now thanks to the might of your power.
The pleasure is mine, said Pauline as honourably as she could, knowing the history of the person she spoke to. Nyx turned and began walking. I must now go find the purple one, she said.
Pauline then smiled, I could take care of that, she then opened a portal in the space between them and jumped in, Nyx also followed.
They appeared in the midst of the phantom girls along with Korin and a few others who had stayed in the war, surrounding them were thousands upon thousands of warriors from the snake clan.
They had all gathered in the middle of the city.
Zaya then walked towards Nyx, from the aura Nyx emitted, it was obvious that all of her ancient memories have been restored to her.
We have a lot to speak about, purple one, Nyx said to Zaya, yes we do, Zaya responded, she was about to say something else when the alpha commander interrupted their conversation, "Now is not the time."said Chinami.
What's going on alpha commander? Zaya asked, Carla Brynes who was not so far away then answered, It turns out the Vikings weren't here for you after all.
They were here for the staff, explained Carla, Zaya stared towards the golden staff in her hands.
Nyx gasped facing Zaya as she said you left the gems! No, Zaya defended they were destroyed by Korin Zaya.
The Viking must have found it in the depth of the Chunami's mansion, Zaya thought, remembering that after the viking had fought with her after which he had dug the ground.
There's no cause for alarm Nyx, Chinami spoke calming Nyx down, we won the war and the Viking that took the gem is not too far away from the city.
We must go, kill him and take what is ours back said Nyx.
Why are those gems so important? Zaya asked Nyx.
Nyx then explained, The Gems filled with primordial energy are scattered in hidden places all around the world, when put together it would become a clue on getting you closer to find the great diamond stone stolen from our clan centuries ago.
The vikings are trying hard to find the diamond stone of the fox clan, if they can destroy it. It will be the final end of the fox clan as we'll never be able to reincarnate ever again.
That's correct, Chinami said.
Zaya held a dumbfounded and yet excited look on her face as she spoke. "What are we waiting for? Let's go get that viking before he goes too far away.
You'd have to wait for instructions from me, Chinami said, rolling her eyes.
She then continued that the president of the country had promised to award each of the warriors that survived in the war.
I would like you both to know that the vikings assume you and Nyx her dead and that's the only reason they haven't come back with more of their Viking war ships.
So when you face the Viking to get back the gems, you would go as the phantom paw and the red Ninja.
I do not like that name. Nyx said, "hey I gave you that name," Ashara spoke, complaining from behind. Now leave, the viking won't have gone far. Nyx and Zaya nodded their heads as they stared at each other in anticipation.
Two bikes could be seen riding far away from the city on a lone empty tarred road, one with Nyx while the other with Zaya riding it.
"I am quite fascinated about how well the world has changed." Nyx screamed to Zaya who was a few meters beside her.
"Yes of course," said Zaya loudly, " technology is crazy, I guess it's some sort of magic the humans created after the true magic was banished from the realm.
"I sense some sort of fear in you Zaya" Nyx said as she accelerated the bike's pedals riding faster, Zaya trying to catch up asked, "what do you mean?"
"I don't think after that traumatizing war I co
could ever feel fear again."said Zaya proudly. Not that, Nyx spoke pausing.
She then said "the fear of getting your memories that's what you're afraid of Zaya."
"You feel you might become a different person entirely."
Zaya went quiet, what Nyx said wasn't wrong.
As they were both foxes from close relations.
Nyx could somewhat sense what Zaya was feeling.
"It's alright Zaya," Nyx consoled, "you might forget a few things about your reincarnated life but you'll be stronger, faster and powerful."
You would be who you've been destined to be, one of Edeth's greatest allies, Nyx explained further.
Zaya then heaved a sigh as she spoke, There's a to learn.
I know of this Zaya, assured Nyx I will tell you all you need to know now.
This should be powerful enough to bring your memories back so you can help me on the mission.
What mission?
Zaya asked.
Nyx stopped her bike abruptly staring towards the empty road.
What's wrong Nyx Zaya asked, also staring in that direction. Nyx got down from her bike.
Zaya felt it, the primordial energy signature of the spiky Viking; she removed her helmet from her head.
Nyx, wouldn't it have been better to bring weapons along with us.
Remember we can't change to our fox form and I can't summon my blazing sword yet.
Nyx then answered, Nothing would feel better than fighting a Viking with your bare hands wouldn't it Zaya.
Zaya, gulped hard, this was going to hurt.
