Chp 24: Jonah

  I watched as the Cristalis fractured in light and Myra and another girl came out from it. I blinked and I glanced at the other girl. She was rail thin with silver hair. I knew her. She was my twin! She was Datha and she was alive. What did the big dino eat her or something? Did Myra save her from the monster bird? Was my sister trapped within that dino or was she the dino? I remembered starting to turn into one and glanced at my sister.

  I couldn’t be sure but maybe my sister had been through hell all her own. I approached the girls who were breathing. That was good, very good. We were the spectacle of the Kin right now. The council was too shocked to move against us for now but that wouldn’t hold. Not with my sister’s sudden appearance. I squatted down and petted Myra’s cheek. She groaned and her eyes fluttered open as Datha’s eyes flew open.

  “Brother?” she questioned, afraid I was an illusion or something. I smiled and shrugged.

  “It’s nice to see you, Datha,” I said as Myra sat up and shook her head.

  “Jonah!” Datha screamed and hugged me. I fell to my knees and held her happy for the second time since my stay here. I had my sister back, my twin. I remembered our talks and our equal suffering for being hybrids. My sister was ignored since she was also an oracle. She was safe from slavery, but she still ran with our mom when I was to be put into slavery. She had to know her fate just as Mom did if they helped me. I was eternally grateful for her and Mom. I wouldn’t have survived without them.

  I’m pretty sure it was Datha who opened the time rift and sent me to Earth. Myra groaned and I turned to her to make sure she was fine. She had been through the wringer. We both had with the big monster, then who knows what in the creature’s mind. I grinned at her and she smiled, getting up on shaky legs and walking over to where I was being mauled by my sister, who was crying on me. Crying. I rubbed her back and kissed her head.

  “She was trapped in her mind by a nasty spell,” muttered Myra as she put a healing hand on Datha. Datha looked up and smiled.

  “Thank you,” she said sniffling. Myra smiled and nodded. She limped over to the post and leaned against it. I saw the crimson line streaking her back. Why couldn’t she heal herself? It would be mighty useful right now! I let go of Datha and we stood walking over to Myra who was wincing at every little move she made. Good thing the big dino wasn’t poisonous. The poisonous ones had a green stripe across their eyes or so I remembered from my memories and lessons.

  “Myra, can you move?” I asked.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  “A little,” she said, limping.

  “Alright. We gotta book it before the council wakes from its daze,” I said.

  Datha gave me a confused look. “We have to leave,” I said, and she nodded.

  I grasped Myra’s waist and lifted her. She hissed and hit my shoulder.

  “Careful, brute,” she muttered, sinking into my arms. I made my way back to my sister and offered her my back.

  “Just like old times,” I said smirking and she smiled climbing onto my back. I summoned some wind and chanted a few words before thrusting Whirl Devil into the force field and shattering it. I got ready to fly out but it seemed that my good luck had run out as the council was back in business.

  “And where do you think you’re going?” said the fire witch as she ordered her fire brigade soldiers up to us. I transferred my space ability to my sword. It glowed violet. Myra groaned and began to glow blue. Datha watched from my back. I spun my sword and lunged at the closest Kin to me. My sword glowed and a time rift opened behind him. I kicked him in and hoped I wouldn’t see him on Earth.

  Myra sent some of her water at a few soldiers who had shot fire at us. You’d think they’d learn with a water user in the group but they didn’t kinda like their leader. I put Myra down so she wasn’t floating in my arms and lunged at another soldier as she shot her water. They combined and hit the soldier causing a strange form of slow-motion paralysis. I smirked and tossed him at another soldier and watched the two be caught in a time warp.

  “Nice, Myra,” I called.

  “I didn’t know we could do that Jonah,” she muttered, dodging a fire shot and shooting a water shot back. She whimpered and I glared at the soldier who took a step back. I made my way toward him and kicked him in the chest, opening a rift and sending him into space. Serves him right! I raised my hand and thrust my sword into another soldier, pummel first, straight into his stomach. He kneeled and I knocked my pommel into his temple. This was too easy. The fire witch wasn’t the only one with troops, and I was right, as silver garbed soldiers teleported in, and brown Gi-wearing men with spears came and surrounded us.

  Blue-wearing females appeared wearing shift dresses and carrying a bow and arrows. Like the Amazons, they rode animals very similar to horses. Finally, purple-garbed males and females moved silently in the shadows. We were surrounded by the five brigades as more fire brigade soldiers showed their faces. Myra stood silent then all hell broke loose as violet light flowed from her in waves and attacked the brigades.

  “Myra! What are you doing?” I yelled as time holes began to open and close everywhere. At the same time violet light wrapped around Datha and me. We were covered in bubbles and then the arena seemed to shrink before me. The landscape blurred and I screamed as I was given an amusement park ride.

  I blacked out from the speed I was traveling somehow knowing that Myra had been left behind.
