The Majarlican Demigod

Chapter 25: Elemental Demigod: Zephyra

"What?" I blurted out as Zephyra spilled why she was out there.

"They are after us, Ally. We must get there to protect Dad!" she added.

The sound of an explosion captured our attention for a second.

"W-wait, wait, wait, you guys. Stop." Talia said, "What's going on?"

"It's a long story, Talia. I will tell you later," I answered.

"Ok. I'll take that as a promise, Ally," she demanded.

I sighed, "I promise that I will tell you later."

We continued chasing after the boundary until we reached where the horses of the military chasing down the attackers. Zephyra went down. Talia and I followed her.

The unknown songstress is singing again in the woods. I'm confident that since Father is not a mortal, he will not fall into that trap, so Zephyra and I. Talia can use the fireball to protect herself from hearing the voice. My sister found the mind-master, but a guy in full body armour suddenly appeared and was about to attack Zephyra, so I used my sonic speed to stop him. I immediately kick him from the back to stop him so Zephyra can continue running towards the songstress. He falls down right away.

I have never had a fistfight since no one taught me how to, but I bend on my knees with my left foot back to give the signal that I'm ready to fight. He stood up and began attacking me. He threw a punch on my face, but I was set to absorb his force. Luckily, I did not fall down, so I kicked him hard on his stomach, which caused him to fall down again. He stopped and got on his feet, but he multiplied into ten more this time. My jaw dropped in surprise, but I can't back down now. I put all my concentration together to absorb any force it would throw on me.

Five of them began attacking me. I let the enemy hit me because it didn't hurt at all. After 3 minutes of them kicking and punching me, I absorbed all of the energy they emitted, and he paused. The attacker looked confused that I didn't fight back.

"My turn," I warned.

I stomped down the ground, and it shook, so they all stumbled.

Talia, who is fighting the other imitation of this guy, threw a baton fire at me that I could use. I've been good with flipping batons since I was a kid, so, surprisingly, this skill is handy.

I attack them using the blazing baton to kill them all, but the guy keeps producing himself. I will get tired and lose against him if I can't kill the main one. I'm almost close to the main person, but he keeps his distance and produces more imitation.

Then, I see Zephyra standing behind him and moving her hands like she controls him. He screamed in agony.

"Zephyra, what are--" I mumbled.

My little sister, who is only eleven, learned how to manipulate any form of liquid. Now, she's doing water commanding. She's controlling this person's blood to either stop flowing or run faster than it should. Blood commanding is as heinous as witchcraft in Kingdom Majarlika.

"Zephyra, don't!" I warned her.

"He's going to kill you, Ally!" she answered.

"But you're blood commanding. This is against our law!" I reminded her.

"I'm not under that law; you know we're not. We are Zephrias's daughters. We need no law." she continued until she let go as the person fell to the ground and turned into dust. He's also an imitation, just one of the main ones.

"It's still wrong, Zephyra!" I insisted.

"That's just an imitation, Ally. I will only be guilty once the person is an actual Majarlican," she said, walking out on me and fleeing.

Talia is done killing other imitations, too, so we continued following Zephyra.

"Your sister is devious, Ally." She said.

"I know," I responded. We just can't contain her. She's very strong-willed."

"She's not just strong-willed. She knows how to use her powers that make her strong," she added.

We ran and stopped when we saw the carriage and the horses of the first district's officers. The boundary is still awake, or shall I say, they were awakened by the chaos. I see my father negotiating with the investigators while the residents are on standby. My father wouldn't die here since he is a celestial guardian, but there might be people who would die if the attacker kept on.

I heard footsteps from my back.

"Talia, on your feet!" I shouted as I turned around.

The same guy is going to attack us with his copies. Talia shoots them with fire daggers so it will be easier. When all of them were taken down, he produced even more clones. He is really pissing me off!

"Hit me with a blue fireball!" I asked Talia.

"What? No!" she responded.

"Just do what I say!" I insisted. "Make sure that it's full of energy."

Talia stepped back and hovered heat from the ground like she was taking out fire from the underworld. Then, she screamed as she blasted out the fire on me. I was more than ready to receive it. The moment the fire penetrated my skin, it was like newly boiled water poured on me. I felt like my eyes were going to fall off my face. I am slowly absorbing the blast and its energy—I'm becoming more powerful. I can feel it in my veins now.

As the rage of fire continues flowing inside me, I suddenly feel like a part of me will explode until Talia stops. I'm closing my fist hard to fully absorb all the energy and heat. I'm sweating in my eyes.

There were more than fifty that I was facing now. I used fire like a laser to the enemy through my eyes. It's tingling. My eyelids feel burning as I let the fire tear down all the enemies I can see. I finished them in a minute, so I ran after the main person, but it ran. He didn't know that I could be sonic. He stopped when he saw me in front of him. I drew fire around him so he could run.

"Who are you? Why are you destroying the city?!" I asked.

"West was meant for destruction after its guardian betrayed the heaven to be with the goddess of the fatal diseases. The entire Majarlika will have a new god, and it will be Artes!" he answered.

His voice was astoundingly familiar.

"Ally!" Zephyra called me. She's with a masked person, too. Here's the songstress." She's controlling its blood.

Talia ran to her and unmasked the songstress.

We are in great shock to see her face.

"Oh goodness!" Talia muttered. "This is the songstress, Zephyra?" she asked my sister.

"She's the same person I saw in the palace. This girl is with Artes," Zephyra responded.

"Let go of her!" the masked guy removed his helmet.

"You!?!" Talia shouted. "I knew it! Why are you doing this?!"

The Holsters are the real traitors of Kingdom Majarlika. I had the hunch from the start. The way Imman asked and made statements about Artes is more than just being curious. He knew him and churned to him.

"Let go of my sister!" Imman screamed.

Zephyra lifted the girl up in the air with rage and locked her up in an airball. Then she looked at the brother, "You are done here." then she started controlling his blood again. Imman's face was all red like a bomb going to explode, with his veins going all obvious on his throat.

I'm scared that Zephyra will a***e her powers to kill this person, but I know that if she does not end his life now-- he will end us. If not us, the whole nation. Then, a giant metal fishnet captured all of us from above. Despite the difficulty, Zephyra didn't let go of what she was doing to the guy. Black smoke hovered over the area and blocked our eyesight. The smell of it makes me dizzy, and I can only cover my mouth and nose.

In a heartbeat, my eyes were shut, and I fell asleep. My body can't respond to what my brain tells us— to move, or we will be captured. I'm too weak to move as if I forgot how I should absorb their power.

I'm hearing footsteps coming to us.
