Chapter X
Blue Flames
(Back to top)
With a small snap, Angell woke up in a rocky chamber, and realized that was the flower’s cave, but wasn’t the huge oval one, but another one smaller, like a house room and very cold. A small pyramid in steps, was in the middle of the chamber, and above it, exactly on top, were floating softly, like they were tied, 13 pale-transparent persons. Angell realized that they were souls, unconscious with their head bended. The girl could see Serena’s, Lovin’s, Marvell’s and little Villo’s soul, in rest she didn’t know any face.
“Do you like it Angell, my love?” Kristall said ironically, with a malicious smile on his face.
“Go to hell!” Angell said angry, watching him from the ground, who was laughing loudly, walking from left to the right.
“Thank you. There are only 13 souls, which mean that the portal cannot be open. Too bad, right? But don’t worry, with you the portal will open and the catastrophe will overflow above the humans in their dimension.” He said gladly, like it was a great benefit that the people will die smashed by meteors or drowned by a tsunami.
“Why do you need 14 souls?”
“It’s not your concern.”
“I mean… let me get the straight; my soul will float over there?” She asked, pointing to the pyramid.
“Yes, why you don’t like it? You will have the honor to be the key which opens the apocalypse.”
“You are…”
“Insane? No, I am just the queen’s loyal servant.”
“I don’t understand a think Kristall. You are my wish, possessed by Forget-me-not. And Forget-me-not is listening to some god’s orders.”
“I don’t interfere there. I know what I have to do.”
Angell looked him ugly, and he was petting the sword, like it was a beloved house animal, turning his back on her. The girl was shaking, maybe because of the cold which was in the cave or because of fearing the apocalypse on people. The souls were shining strongly, spreading a pure blue light, and Angell knew now from where that blue ray was coming from.
“What is with the pyramid?” Angell asked.
“The pyramid, how you call it, it’s a portal. It links this world to the human’s one. Villo the foolish boy tried to scare you away from this place, but for everybody’s joy…”
“Meaning yours and the queens…” Angell interrupted him.
“Yes, our joy, you still found us.”
“I still don’t understand who are you actually?”
“I am the queen’s faithful servant. And stop asking stupid questions, because my head hurts. Now, human, it’s time to say goodbye from your soul.”
Angell was so weak that she couldn’t move a finger to defend her, or to keep her head straight. Something was drawing drying her. Kristall raised his sword with his both hand, and the girl saw the shining sharp blade.
The next thing which she felt was a horrible pain in the chest, because Kristall stabbed her brutally with the sword, and she was yelling spreading lights around. Little by little, Angell became a ghost, softly transparent and blue and unconscious.
“YES! WE WON!” Kristall yelled, and with the sword he took the girl’s soul and putted on the top of the pyramid.
With a snap, next to him Forget-Me-Not appeared. The portal started to shake, making a huge earthquake, illuminating like a strongly neon.
“GOOD JOB KRISTALL!” The queen yelled happily.
