Prologue
Her perspiration flows from her head to her mouth. It’s salty, she thought as she faced a horde of Acolytes, magic gathering in their fingers. Aleia held her sword closely. It glittered in against the light of the fires surrounding her. Tents were burned down, an occasional clash of metal could be heard nearby and strewn all over the floor, are bodies of men and demon minions.
One Acolyte licked his lips and thrust his palm at her. The rest follow suit.
“Die! And never rise again!” He croaked as a mixture of magic spells came towards her. She kept herself cool despite her situation. She breathed in and summon forth her Haru, a will energy.
“Whisper, Silence of the wind, I command thee!” She circled her sword one round around her, forming a barrier. Then, IMPACT! All the Acolytes were laughing at their victory.
“A puny shield like that can’t stop us.” As the smoke cleared, Aleia was gone. All the acolytes were puzzled.
“There’s no body? That can’t be right, my hex is a poison one. Didn’t you all hear what I telepathed you?” That’s when a sword protruded out of the speaker’s chest.
“Yea you did right.” Aleia pulled out her sword and the acolyte crumpled to the floor. She turned to the rest of the Acolytes. “Whisper here however, is not an ordinary sword with low magic properties, like all of your spells.” She can sense the fear in their looks and their desperation to cast a spell. Smirking she charged at them and slayed them all before they could lift a finger to cast another spell.
“Aleia!” called out one of the soldiers in battle. He pointed at the top of the hill where the Podium of Power was located. There Dark Lord Saliviant was raising his sword for the final opening of the key.
She muttered a spell and she was instantly teleported to the Podium. Without hesitation, Aleia attacked the Dark Lord and was forced to pary. Saliviant grinned and used the other hand to force a impact spell to Aleia. She was hit by it, yet most of the damage was nullified and she hacked at him again without flinching.
“I see, you hold Whisper.” Saliviant was forced to use both hands on his double-edged sword.
“And you hold the dark blade, Zephyr.” Aleia grunted as she forced the sword lock away. Saliviant was knockback by the sudden movement. Aleia came in for the killing swipe, yet her blade connected with a wing-like shield. She looked up to see the Dragon.
“Black-scar?” She gasped as one of its Talons knocked her to one side. Even with Whisper’s magic, it was not enough to block a magical creatures blow.
Saliviant was laughing at the predicament Aleia’s in.
“You, princess of Tenacia, hot-headed warrior, the Red Flash. That’s what my minions called you.” Saliviant walked towards her crumpled body.
“Where is your friend? The Peacemaker, that you so dearly love.” He raised his arms in question. That’s when he saw a bright blue light from above him.
“EAT THIS SALIVIANT!” A young voice bellowed. FOOM! BAM! The force of a bright magical blue light struck where Saliviant stood. Again, a wing of the dragon covered him. However, at where the wing was hit, it was smoking.
Saliviant’s eyes grew wide with glee. “You finally came, PEACEMAKER!
