The light of power and hope

The seal was now almost broke, there was still the outer circle of the magic seal around Luzalé and one chain was still holding her down by the waist but it was just a question of minutes before she could be free, eliminate those monsters surrounding her and go back to the castle. Suddenly, she felt a weird and cold shiver cross her body, she opended her eyes full of surprise before closing them again. In her mind, or in her spirit more precisely, she could see a blurry image, in this she could see Belda, Léol and Aesta facing two shadows, their aura was so imposing that she could feel it from where she was.

She opened her amethyst eyes and this a bigger and stronger white flame surrounded her body. The ground was even slighty shaking because her. She would not let a friends and family be killed by those things.

Léol and Aesta were struggling against their enemies, they were fast and coordinated. Swords and magic spells were clashing and exploding here and there but the pure strenght of the shadows was greater than the Varapren. The fact that Belda was shouting at her uncle and aunt to help was as helpful as troublesome at times.

-Aesta he's jumping ! Shouted Belda to warn her beloved aunt.

The magician evade the attack and hit back with grey colored spike while Léol was locking the female shadow in a ball of energy before befor making it explode with a fire spell.

-Be carefull please, they are scary and strong !

-Don't worry about us Belda, just stay safe back there. Said Léol.

-I am scared for you, they want to kill you. Replied the girl with a scared voice.

-We won't die because you give us strenght to fight. We can win, be hopeful, little princess. Said Aesta with a voice as reassuring as possible.

Both dark creatures stepped back before rushing on their enemies again, this time faster. They both launched toward their respective opponent a dark smoke spell, the aim was too blind them from the incoming attack. When Aesta and Léol generated a barrier, a huge black smoke covered them, making them unable to see the shadows in it. Without them noticing it, the dark beings were jumping on them, sword in hands, ready to hit hard, but two comet of light shone in the dark, two stars shape spell hit the shadows and blew away the smoke, injuring the shadows to a point hey had to stay down for a bit.

-Belda can you use the stars again ? Asked Léol with the voice of a focused soldier.

-What ? Expressed Aesta with a shocked expression.

-I don't know, it's coming out of his own and it makes me see blurry each time and it hurts.

-Try to do it again, it can help us a lot.

-What are you saying ? Interrupted Aesta with a outrageously.

-What ? Responded Léol, unsure about why his friend was mad.

-You can't ask her to do this, it's too much for her, she can't control it, it can be dangerous for her body and health !

-We don't have much choice, look !

He pointed his finger to the enemies, still trying to get back from the last attack of Belda. Both were bleeding this strange dark liquid.

-It's not a reason, our role is to protect her, not risking her life for us. She said with a scolding tone.

-You want to die ? Asked Léol with a angered tone, judging her morals.

-To protect Belda, absolutely. She expressed with a serious voice while crossing her arms staring at him.

-I don't want you to die. Said Belda with a small voice full of anxiety.

-Then, Belda i need you to focus on what you just did.

Léol was talking while holding her hands to help her use this power again, suddenly, Aesta pushed his hand to prevent from doing it.

-Leave her alone. She said with a cold voice.

Léol stared at her, more surprised by her actions than her words.

-Aesta we....

-We will fight with our own magic and skills, do not make her fight, she is not ready for that.

-Please don't argue because of me. I can do it. Implored the little girl, more and more overwhelmed by the situation.

-No Belda, i won't let you take part in this fightn and Léol you should be ashamed, trying to make Belda fight, she is only 7. Are you out of your mind ? She asked puzzled by the actions of her friend.

He looked at her and her face, he knew by her dark eyes and her serious expression that he would have to almost fight her to help Belda.

-Okay, i won't.

He looked over at the creatures still recovering from the attack, while Aesta was less angry. Léol touched Belda and said "Grabel". Still nothing.

-Shit ! Said out loud with frustration the lady. 

-Let's not waste more time, we must finish them ! Ordered Léol.

-Following you. Replied Aesta.

Then they slided on the water, making it move in the air with them like some tentacles. The shadows saw their enemies coming to them, ready to bury them. They tried to move but the after effect of the magic of Belda was hitting them hard.

Léol and Aesta made them go up by using the water they had manipulated before, once high in the air, they went up too by using magic air, then they trapped the shadows inside balls of water, followed by metal blade cutting throught it and them. At least a dozens of metal blade were sent against the strange beings. Léol and Aesta did not waste their energy nor their occasion. They fly around the water balls, making the both of it merged and launched towards the dark creatures rock spike, metal blade, ice spike, fire balls and flashy thunders spell. They finished their combo by throwing a giant air punch from above but the shadows managed to block it by using a dark energy. It even corrupted the spell of both Varapren, they sent it back to Aesta and Léol, they blocked it but did not see the female and male shadow coming directly to them, punching them to the ground.

They moved so fast, it was like they teleported, they started hitting the magician with their fist or their sword, using dark magic energy at the same time to deal more damaged. Léol ans Aesta were not able to resist since they were stunned by the actions. They were flying here and there because of the punches and hit, quickly, the shadows also used the water around to form a tornado, trapping the humans inside, then they did the same thing they had received a few moment earlier. They launched against the Stars of Aurora many wave, slice, ball and spike of dark magic, hitting them with full force. Their screamed very quickly were muffled, after that dance around the tornado, the shadows were ready to achieve victory, one coming from under and one from above, sword in hand, ready to make it clash to create a special magic attack.

Coming out of the dark sky, two stars, each aiming one shadow, fell from above and made the the creatures move away, disruptind their attack and freeing Léol and Aesta. They both fell on the ground while the dark beings were trying to evade the star pursuing them. While running around, Aesta and Léol had enough strenght to use the water to paralyzed their opponent, doing so, the shadows soon enough couldn't move anymore, once they understood why, they were hit by the star following them and again, smashed on the ground too. Léo after used the water again to make Belda come closer to them.

She was crying out of fear, despair and pain. Aesta took her in her arms, carressing her head and back.

-Shhhhh. We are still here. Said Aesta with a comforting voice.

Léol with the strenght he could gather, appeased the physical pain of the princess, helping calming down.

-I want to leave, i want to leave...i'm scared..(She try to wipe her tears but it continue to fall). I don't want you to be hurt.

Léol sat up and said with confidence and a soft voice.

-We will go home, i promise. Just wait a bit, can you do it ?

She nodded, while retaining some tears and sob.

Aesta sat up too, still holding Belda, and the shadows were standing again, ready to fight. The Varapren, generated a barrier and some attacks spells. Belda hold the hand of Aesta tighter.

Luzalé could see it, she could see the distress of her family, it was enough to give her the final strenght to make her break the seal. A huge white light spread around her, making everything covered by this pure divine light. When it disappeared, the monsters were dead and the magic circle that had trapped her was no more. She immediately stood up, put her two joined fingers in front of her face, closed her eyes and went from the street she was throught another, then another, then the wall of the castle, the door, the first hall of the caslte and so on, she was advancing at a high speed through all the different room. Or more precisely, the scenes were coming to her. She was not running or teleporting in itself, but she was making her body moved thought different scenes until she reached the bedroom where Belda, Léol and Aesta were asleep.

Upon her sudden presence in the room Osmadrey and Sarika looked at her shocked by what happened.

-Luzalé ! Shouted Osmadrey.

She did not respond, she just put her hand on the head of Belda and went to the "Garden".

Léol and Aesta, still protecting the little princess, they were waiting for the shadows to attack. The dark creatures rushed towars the magician when suddenly a ray of light, came down from the cosmic sky. There was standing Luzalé. 

She raised her hand and paralyzed the shadows with ease, it was like a lightning at hit them after a strange white flash. Then with another move of her hand, she said.

-Varanita draïshi, sélo qa nida !

Then a white light pushed them back and made them disappear like ashes. The fight was over, Luzalé had banished them. Her white aura calmed down and then she turned to face her friends and her dear Belda.

-Luzalé. Said with relief Aesta and Léol but Belda expressed it with a voice filled with a fading terror.

In a blink of an eye Luzalé had them in her arms, tightly holding them. Belda was crying and the adults were breathing out their fears and worry now that everything was peaceful.

-I am here, you are safe now.
