22 Change is coming

"Keep going you two." said Arvan.

He e guided Raven and Elisa through the whole mountain cave system, it wasn't to dark, because the crystals in the surrounding were brightly lit up, illuminating the whole way up, forming a natural way.

"Arvan how long do we have to walk?" asked Elisa, she was tired, they couldn't get sleep in the first place, now they were walking for hours.

"Endure we are nearly there, if you can't keep up anymore tell me, I'll carry you" said Arvan who was smiling to Elisa.

A muscle packed tattooed man smiling at a little child, this sight was too bizarre! Raven didn't said it out loud, who knows how he will end!

"It's alright but can we make a little pause?" asked Elisa with big eyes.

*sigh* Arvan looked at the children and nodded, he knew they didn't have much time, but looking at this litte exhausted thing, he gave in.

They found a quiet place and sat down.

"Here drink something" Arvan took a bottle of water and gave it to Raven and Elisa.

"Thank you" said Elisa.

She was really thirsty.

"Can I ask you something uncle?" asked Raven.

"What is it?" said Arvan.

"Why can't the children from the tribe come with us...do they really have to..."

Arvan looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Everyone has something only they can do, they will be safe, don't worry, we are prepared for something like this, for generations we have been told, that a day like this will come, elder Eldrick said it too right? This is Fate, fate doesn't need a reason. Do you think this man here is weak?" said Arvan hitting his chest with a proud look.

Ravens mouth began twitching.

"N-no but can your muscles block bullets?"

Elisa heard it and began to laugh.

"Maybe" said Elisa.

"You two rascals don't take me serious." Arvan shook his head.

"Listen here, we have something others dont have, now look"

Arvan looked serious and began to concentrate. He clasped his hands together and slowly drifted them apart, out of nowhere particles of light gathered, it looked like a yellow swarm of fireflies.

It began to take slowly a form, a form of an axe.

Elisa and Raven were stunned, watching this wonderful spectacle. They saw something like this for the first time.

"Wh-what is it?" asked Elisa with big eyes.

"This is Soul Power, everybody has it, just not everyone can use it, do you see these Crystals? They can help us awakening, there is blue, red, green, white and black.

Blue ones are common, red uncommon, green rare and the rest is stuff made of legends." said Arvan.

"L-like this one?" asked Raven, he took his green Crystal out from his hiding place, it was hid under his shoe sole.

He showed it to Arvan.

"Hahaha brat you have good luck" laughed Arvan.

"It belongs to Elisa, I wanted to make her a necklace..." said Raven.

"Raven this Crystal alone can buy you a rich life anywhere, are you sure?"

asked Arvan.

"It doesn't matter to me, Elisa likes beautiful things, I couldn't give her much, but at least I can give her this." Raven smiled and gave it in Elisas hand, she hugged him.

"dummy, I don't need anything I already have you." said Elisa caring.

Arvan too smiled with his big ax in his hand, a really interesting sight to behold.

"Elisa, do you want to use it? The rarer a Crystal is, the more potential will you awakening." said Arvan.

"Can I be of help to Raven?"

This question surprised Arvan.

"I don't know, maybe."

Elisa was in deep thought.

"Yes."

"Okay, it will hurt a little bit, endure it."

Elisa bit her lips and nodded.

"Elisa you don't have to do this" said Raven who worried for Elisa.

"But I want to." Elisa looked resolutely in Ravens eyes.

Raven saw her clear emerald green eyes and could only give in.

"Are you ready?" asked Arvan.

Elisa nodded.

"Listen carefully, close your eyes, and feel the crystal in your hand, keep imagining your true self. This picture in your mind is your will, your innermost wish. concentrate on it."

Elisa bit her lips, the green Crystal was brightly lighting up. She felt pain, it kept getting stronger and stronger, until she groaned and sweated. She had to endure! Otherwise it will be for naught, all her efforts gone to waste! She didn't want this to happen!

'Please I just want to be of help!'

This was her innermost wish!

Suddenly the Crystal cracked, the light was out, the pain was gone.

She panted.

"Now in your mind, Concentrate, your wish, your feelings, picture it, visualise it.

Clasp your hands and draw it all out" said Arvan really serious, he was really curious what was about to happen.

Elisa did it, and green particles gathered, with a fragrant smell, it was calming, soothing, it was a magnificent Scenery, finally it formed a round big leaf, its aura gave a holy attitude.

Elisa looked at it, she was a bit disappointed then she looked over to Raven who smiled at her, saying It doesn't matter to me, I'll be there for you always.

Which uplifted her a little bit, then she looked at Arvan who was standing frozen and staring with big eyes at the leaf.

He couldn't believe what just happened and saw.

"Arvan?"

Coming to his senses back.

*sigh* "Elisa in future don't show it to anyone, just know, its a good thing."

said Arvan dead serious nearly scary,

Elisa nodded.

"let's go, we have to hurry!"

They made it on their way.

'I can't believe this girl, has a holy Soul Power, how innocent and pure must she be, fate is truly strange, but one think is sure, change is coming'

Arvan smiled slightly and looked forwards towards this young girls future!
