Aria's Story

[ML1201]

well, I may or may not get around to posting today. My mom wants me to clean today while she's gone. She's going to visit my grandma who had the spell the other day and is now in the hospital...sorry.

you can ignore the previous post. After resting some and having lunch I was able to post up the next chapter. There is only one more chapter left to this story.
Chapter 78
Infusing the rose with her magic, the rose stretches and expands. As it grows larger it shifts and twists into the shape of a serpent. Lunging as it continues to grow the reptile shaped plant golem grabs Eadelmarr’s Yanyue Dao, coiling itself around the shaft. Surprised, Eadelmarr is stunned for a moment, and that moment gives the golem enough time to bind him with its thorny body. Aria, with the end of the rose still digging into her hand, makes her way towards them from the bushes.

Kaze, still weary from his fight, leans against the shaft of his Scythe. Barely standing, he smiles as Aria approaches; glad to see she is fine even with blood dripping from the many cuts from caused by the thorns.

“Rest Kaze, I’ll take care of the rest.” As she says this there is an explosion of energy from behind her. Turning she sees that Eadelmarr ripped the golem to shreds, but dropping his shields in the process since he was using too much magic at this point.

“So, the little girl is still alive. Amazing! However did you pull that trick off, hm?” He smirks, apparently amused.

“I did fall into the middle of the woods, and I’m an Earth magi that specializes in plants and creature care. So of course I would be fine falling like that. Now.” Without warning she rushes Eadelmarr, assaulting him with a barrage of punches and kicks. Instead of trying to fight back he merely keeps moving back away from her. As they move the get closer to a rock wall that was warn into the mountain side over time. When Eadelmarr reaches the wall he grins once more. Chanting a quick spell under his breath he causes them to switch places. Baffled Aria just stands there dazed for a moment, allowing Eadelmarr to cast another and final spell. Hearing the rocks above her give way she quickly uses a spell to push them away from her as they fall. Hearing a scream she looks around and realizes that she just through the chunks of rocks onto Eadelmarr in her confusion.

Kaze watches, to weary to move, as Aria battles Eadelmarr. She appears to have the upper hand until her opponent casts that spell, causing them to switch places. Neither he nor Aria had seen a spell like that before, so seeing it now surprises both of them. As he hears Eadelmarr casting another spell his heart clenches. Hubbling towards Aria he screams out to her “Aria! Run! He’s trying to crush you with the mountain.” But Aria couldn’t hear him. Watching as the rocks fell he catches movement in the corner of his eye. Looking at Eadelmarr he sees him smile sadly at him as the rocks change course and head towards him. Kaze’s eyes widen as he realizes that Eadelmarr is not moving out of the way of the rocks. “What are you doing standing there?!” He screams. “Run!” Having used up the last of his strength Kaze falls to the ground. He’s barely conscious as Drake and Varnis finally catch up with them. During Aria and Eadelmarr’s fight she took off to find them and bring them here. “He did it on purpose.” He whispers.

Drake, seeing Kaze collapse, scrambles towards him around some scattered debris from the rockslide. He hears Kaze say something as he gets near; grabbing him Drake carries him over to a bush and rests him against it as Varnis helps Aria out of the rubble.

“What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.” Drake begins tending to Kaze grazes from some rocks that had gone flying from the fall.

“He just stood there. He could have run away. He could have stopped the rocks from falling on himself. Is this what he wanted the entire time?”

Confused Drake looks from Kaze to the pile of stones. “Do you mean Eadelmarr? He let himself get buried beneath those rocks? Why?” Kaze shakes his head, just as confused as Drake.

“Thanks Varnis, it is kind of hard to climb out of a hole made of sharp, jagged rocks.”

“No problem Aria, but you shouldn’t put yourself into harm’s way like this.” Aria glares at Varnis as she dusts herself off.

“Would you quite with this idea of yours that I’m a- What was that?” Signaling for Varnis to keep quite Aria listens for that sound again. Hearing it again she realizes it is a wet sounding cough. Following it to its source she finds Eadelmarr alive. With only his head visible beneath all those stones, Aria was surprised to see that he was still barely alive. Seeing her he lets out a weak laugh. “Finally. I can finally put an end to this charade.”

O_o I have no idea what you mean by that. o_O (wonders how a person can be a red herring...).

Red herring is a term in mystery.It means that something that happens makes a innocent person seem guiltly.
