You guys want to waste your time going to the wall?.., Zara wondered as Valtor informed her of their decision the following morning
We just need to see it for ourselves
Not a problem, maybe if one of you guys has an ability stronger than force field, you could actually break through it this time, she sarcastically replied
We just might, Orea retorted as she walked past her.
They began journeying to the wall with Valtor and Zara leading the way while Orea and Kymani followed behind.
Zara glanced at Valtor as they walked in silence, so I'm guessing this was your girlfriend's idea
Orea's not my girlfriend, he replied without taking his eyes off the road
Whatever,..this was her idea, correct?
Valtor finally glanced at her, we all decided on seeing the wall
I get it,.. we just met, you don't know me, so I understand your doubts, but I'm telling you, this is a complete waste of time.
Valtor returned his gaze to the road in silence.
They walked for hours before taking a break, luckily they found some fruits on the way which they snacked on to regain strength for the task ahead.
We're almost there, Zara said asthey rested.
Silently observing, Kymani noticed as Orea remained by his side while Valtor sat next to Zara, neither of them had spoken to each other today
Are you guys okay, he asked her.., you and Valtor
Yeah, she replied after staring for a while, why?
Nothing, Kymani decided to let it go.
By the time they reached the wall, it was already noon, their demeanor changed as they noticed it ahead
Congratulations, you've reached the wall, Zara sarcastically announced as they all stared at what looked like a large block of metal that went high like it was about to touch the sky, Orea moved forward to feel it,.. it's metal alright, but what kind of metal is it?
The impenetrable type, Zara replied from behind
Valtor also moved forward to check it out, running his palms over the wall as he observed it,..there has to be a way through this thing
Well there isn't, Zara folded arms
Taking a few steps back, Valtor shot a fire blast at it and as soon as the flames hit, the wall seemed to absorb it immediately, vertical lines which went around it like a design gleamed with yellow light.
Did you guys see that, Valtor exclaimed while looking back at the others
Yeah, it absorbs your powers but still nothing happens, Zara explained unexcitedly
Cool..if it does that during the day, I wonder what it does at night, Kymani suddenly spoke up causing Valtor to glance in his direction..Wait!, he snapped, Zara how many times did you hit this wall yesterday?
She grimaced, I don't know,..5 or 6 times?
And everytime, the wall absorbed the light it produced?, he asked again
Yes, she replied, the wall shone with purple light and everything.
Valtor turned his gaze back to the wall, we need to know what it does with all that absorbed light at night.
Zara faced him,.. so, what, we just sit and wait here till nighttime?
No, we just need darkness, Orea replied with grey eyes as she began to gather the clouds till the sun could no longer be seen and everywhere got dark,..everywhere except the wall, the metal block which stood before them was replaced by a wall of light.
They marvelled as yellow and purple light shone before them.
It absorbs light during the day and emits it at night,.. Kymani glanced at Valtor next to him, do you think we can go through now?
Let's find out, Valtor shot another blast of fire at it, this time forming a hole which seemed to lead somewhere
Oh my God!, it was Zara's turn to exclaim, it 'IS' penetrable, we need to increase the hole and quick, she added, noticing Orea still had the clouds on hold, her light brown eyes turned purple as she began to build up a huge blast
Watch out!, Valtor suddenly yelled, pulling her out of the way just in time as a huge flame landed on the spot where she stood seconds before, narrowly missing her.
What was that!, they all looked up to see huge-winged creatures hovering above them, the monsters flew in a circle and began sending fire down towards them.
