43 – The only way

Adira is knelling before the Queen and King.

ADIRA: My sister Akane is dead.

Everyone in the room is shooked.

ADIRA: But she deserves that. She betrayed our people, she betrayed our country.

QUEEN: Is that true?

ADIRA: I was taught not to lie. I also know where the Uglax is.

KING: Really where is it?

ADIRA: It indeed is on Ceanus. I'll go back there, but I need an army.

QUEEN: And you will get one. Prepare the army. Go to the goddess Eir-

ADIRA: Unfortunately we can't trust her anymore. She was helping Akane all along.

KING: Than we need to stop her too.

Ground starts shaking and a bright light appears at the mountain.

ADIRA: We need to stop her now.

Mira and Eir are looking at Akane.

EIR: It worked!

Akane comes down to them. Akane looks at her hands, then she looks at Mira and Eir. Mira starts running to her.

MIRA: Akane!

She hugs her.

MIRA: I'm so happy you're okay. Sei's gonna be happy.

AKANE: Is he okay?

Mira smiles and nods. Akane looks at Eir, she smiles. Than Eir looks at one lake, moves her hand and sees Adira and the army in the lake.

EIR: You need to hurry. Adira is prepering the army.

MIRA: What?!

EIR: You two need to go back on Ceanus. You need to protect others and the Uglax.

AKANE: What about you? They are going to kill you too.

EIR: Don't worry Akane. I can stop them on my own. Nothing can happen to me. I'm a goddess, I'm immortal.

AKANE: But they won't see you as a goddess anymore.

Eir smiles gently.

EIR: Akane do you know how a goddess dies? When she is forgotten.

Akane smiles back.

AKANE: And that will never happen, because I won't ever forget you.

They see an army moving towords the mountain.

EIR: Go! I'll try to stop them and buy you some time. They can't come on Ceanus in one day with the whole army. You'll have at least tree days.

They turn to leave but Eir stops Akane.

EIR: Akane you have powers know... The Uglax must be destroyed.

AKANE: And how do I do that?

EIR: You need to give it your power, you need to heal it.

AKANE: I can't do that without touching it.

EIR: I know... But I'm afraid it's the only way.

AKANE: I'll find another way. I'll destroy it... Whatever it takes. Be careful.

EIR: You too.

They go.

While flying back Akane looks at Miras gloved hand.

AKANE: I'll find another way.
