Chapter 8 - Remembrance of the Ember

SOO HOW ABOUT IT VYRE?

IS IT ALL YOU'VE GOT?

The earthquake was finally gone, and the shattered Earth left a big hole in the middle of the battle.

This prevented the armies from confronting each other.

It seemed that the battle was at its end.

But one man was still in the air, fire on his back, thirsty for the battle.

VYREEEE...ANSWER ME

From the dust, Vyre appeared, sword in his hand, half frozen.

(Vyre) You are crazy powerful for a single general

I'm a high marshal for a reason, my only purpose is to eradicate every enemy of the empire.

Which means one thing, I'm supposed to be stronger than you...

His sword's tip now shaped the head of the lion-like animal.

From his mouth a fire came out, howling, a weird sound.

"GOD OF NITRIS"

His body is now turned into a frenetic state.

Half frozen, half a flame

(Vyre) No more talking, right?

*FLASH*

AN AVATAR OF a LION APPEARED ON TOP OF THE HILUS IN THE AIR

IT HAD BIG HORNS ON TOP OF THE HEAD AND A BIG TAIL

IT MADE A ROLL WITH ITS BODY AND STRUCK DOWN HILUS WITH ITS TAIL

His body fell to the ground beneath the hole.

It was so far down that you could not see the end of it.

There was a moment of silence.

From the depths of the hole

A very red fire appeared, shaped like some kind of gigantic human.

"Rise the flame of Arii, bring back the old world."

From the dust below, he came back with the flames on his hands, flying towards the sky.

Vyre jumped on the back of the lion.

The lion roared so strongly that the earth itself shook.

Soldiers covered their ears, it was so loud that it could break their eardrums.

The gigantic human looked unstable. Was it because Hilus didn't have the power, or was it recreating something unbearable?

This creature started to wave its hands, and with it came fiery rocks crashing down on the battlefield. 

Vyre, with his frost ability, slashed the giant on the head, which momentarily froze it.

Hilus jumped on the shoulder of the giant, merged the fire of both hands, and used the blast on the lion-like creature.

Vyre jumped in the air to avoid attack and flew down on the hilus. 

The tip of the sword slightly cut the hilus's stomach, but somehow he managed to stop it with his hands. 

"LAVA CLONE"

Before Vyre could scratch him, the Hilus melted into the lava while holding Vyre's sword.

His hands almost melted, but he quickly reacted and backed up in an instant. 

"How come he can use lava? Doesn't he have a fire ability?"

"EMBER'S GAZE"

(Hilus) There are things you don't understand, Vyre....

He now appeared on top of the giant.

Right some time... the real old God chose me

I see you use all the false gods' powers, but one thing is clear

They bow down to the one and only god of the old world

And he chose me as the "Ember" to guide his followers and his destiny

But for some time now, I have denied his blessing as the other gods

All these divine beings are all but the same shit to me

I see only red in my eyes, so how about you, Vyre? What do you see, huh?

(Vyre) I see you're death, General

Sky suddenly changed into a dark color, and the sun's beams were barely seen

The emotions of Hilus changed from anger to sadness 

it seemed like a battlefield was frozen in time

"Dance for sorrow, Rumen."

Into the thin air appeared dark magic, glowing black light in multiple places

into the distance of the hill appeared a kid with fur around his body 

Dancing and Crying at the same time

Hilus could not believe his eyes, as if it were a nightmare, a sad nightmare?

in this state, he was about five minutes

That was the time it took Vyre to get to hilus

apearntly this ability takes too much power of the caster

it makes air heavy and the space of the zone unbearable to move in 

Vyre took the broken sword and slashed at Hilus's head

but in a moment from his body a red spirit blocked the attack

it made an impact momentarily, dispelling the ability 

(Hilus) What the hell was that?

(Vyre) I would like to ask the same question

The giant that hilus summoned looked even more unstable now

It's seems Hilus's power is getting weaker and weaker

Vyre noticed it, the giant was melting down from its own face

"Rito storm"

He raised his broken sword in the air, a lightning stuck it down,the broken weapon took all the energy from it,

Vyre took the charge and jumped in the air

He positioned himself on top of the creature's melted face and threw the sword right inside the giant...

The impact was so big it blew up the giant with lava parts raining down the battlefield

This lava rocks hit the armies surrounding the battle

Soldiers were even more frightened now....

Some of them started to flee from this helish

Place

Which was unheared of in both armies for years

Fleeing the battle meant deserting your status and you're country

Which was sentenced with death

Especially in Trizian custom, they were more cruel towards deserters and traitors

Even more fire spread throughout the battlefield

Screams and agony could be heard from mile of miles away

Hilus was quite fed up with Vyre now

And he seemed to be getting tired from too much usage of the embers power

(Hilus)even the lightning? what else can you do?

Vyre was catching his breath, he couldn't not even talk properly

(Hilus)Let's finish this... it was entertaining Vyre...

"THOUSEND HIGHS, HUNDRED LOWS"

the darkend sky now was blazing red from sun's direction

sun's light reached the face of Hilus

The little wind took the hood from top of his head

The scars on his face were blazing with red fire

i won't let Arii take my soul, Let it all burn...

from the ground smoke of the heat was coming off

The air was too hot to breathe in

Vyre took the big breath and jumped to face him

he understood that if he didn't kill him all life would be dead in a radius of hundreds or even more meters 

in a matter of minutes

goddess Grant me Strength, give me an angel of snowflakes 

Around Vyre in the air a snowflakes appeared, battling the hot air

soldiers from the east side of Big Hole could see two climates fighting each other

It was unspeakable scene

Hilus took both of his hands in the air and let his head barely touch the ground as if he was praying and bowing to something

his both hands turned into the fire, his veins popped from heat 

his face turned into the morbid molten rock, you could see his skull but only a little

he barely muttered something:

"END IT"
