Tales of Tyde

Chapter 10: Severed Bonds

Tyde’s P.O.V.

When Mica told me we were under attack I hid the challis seconds before a herd of monsters came bursting into the room we were in. Mica was already in battle mode but I freaked at the sight of some of the most hideous creatures I couldn’t believe existed. Mica was busy spilling guts when I felt tentacles grip and started pulling me away.

My vision went blurry with a flash of red after I saw Mica falling to the ground. The next thing I know I was covered in blobs of slime and so was everything else in the room; there were bodies everywhere. When I looked down at my hands one was holding a severed head and the other a tooth I’m sure was the weapon I used to decapitate the head.

After assessing the situation I remembered seeing Mica falling unconscious after being hit in the head by one of those things, and I immediately freaked and started looking for him. All the while I was rummaging through the piles of bodies I couldn’t understand why I was so worried. I mean he’s my trainer, but we’ve just met and yet the thought of him being hurt or possibly dead make me feel like I was being ripped apart from the inside.

After what felt like an eternity I found him bleeding heavily from a puncture wound that I know could kill him. As if I knew him all my life I felt my heart breaking. The thought of this important stranger dying brought out a fear I’ve never felt before and I broke down. I felt a hand barely touch my cheek; I looked down and saw Mica looking up at me, he smiled at me, then his body went limp in my arms.

In the middle of my hysteria I heard a voice call my name.

“Tyde… Tyde… don’t be sad, all you have to do is bring him back.” The voice said

“What do you mean bring him back, how can I bring him back?” I asked

“You are his and he is yours. Until the sun sets on the horizon, his soul still lingers. Return what you took and he will live.” The voice said.

“What did I take? Please tell me what to do.”

“Save your mate your destined love. Return his soul to change his fate; for him to live your bond must break.” The voice chanted. “Break the bond… Break the bond…” The voice sang.

“How to I break a bond I didn’t even know existed?” I need to save Mica, I’ll figure out the bond thing later. When I looked back down on his body getting paler and paler, as his blood slowly ran from his wound I felt myself become weaker and weaker. All I could think about was how I was going to break something I knew nothing about.

“Goshen… Goshen has to know how to save Mica.” I gently laid his body on the floor and got the challis to summon Goshen. As I suspected Goshen knew exactly what I had to do, I just hope I still have enough time to get it done.

When I came back from the plane Goshen dwells in, I took Mica back into my arms. I pricked my finger then placed a drop of my blood on his forehead then I leaned in and kissed him before whispering the chant Goshen instructed me to recite.

“This bond I break your soul please take.                                                                                           What destiny joined, I now break,                                                                                                           no longer yours this bond I forsake.”

As soon as the chant was done Mica’s limp body was covered by a ball of water and light then I felt a piece of me being sucked out along with all the oxygen in my body. Mica was released back into my arms, but he didn’t wake up. I tried everything I could think of to wake him but nothing worked.

After the draining and confusing day I had, I now had to carry Mica’s possibly lifeless body back to Anudore by myself. Although our bond is broken I still care about him; not the same way I did a few hours ago but I still care.

When I crossed the cursed meadow I felt like I was being watched. It wouldn’t be impossible considering the attack earlier but all I care about now is getting Mica to safety. If he had any chance of surviving I’d have to get him to Madam Ara fast. When I got there she wasn’t there, I could sense Mica’s pulse which meant he was alive but it was so faint I worry he might not make it.

Leviathan’s P.O.V.

After Mervina’s vision I couldn’t get that girl out of my head. She consumed my thoughts and weighed on my soul like a plague. I had to see her for myself; I need to know if Hydra was somehow alive or if this girl just has her face.

For days, I thought about how I’d get close to her without being caught and I finally had the perfect plan. My minions have been keeping an eye on her, studying her every move. I’ll cause chaos and be the hero she has no choice but to trust. I sent some of my warriors to follow her after receiving word of her going on a quest of some sort.

By now they should be wreaking havoc on her and that parasite who I’m sure is her mate. I have to say, I’m not sure if he’s stupid or if he is just numb because there is no way anyone could find their destined mate and not say or do anything to be with them. At least for her she is clueless about this world’s customs, so she might just think it’s a simple attraction.

This gives me an idea… I’ll just eliminate the fool and if she is Hydra I’ll reclaim her in her reincarnated form by restoring her memory. If it’s not her, I’ll let my mood decide what I’ll do with her.
