Chapter 986: Chapter 171- Talia – The Battle Part 6 (VOLU 5)
~~
Talia
~~
I had watched my mom as she went to talk to the envoy from the enemies. There was a man that I knew was part of the Jaegan, most likely the leader that they had been talking about before. The other that was talking and standing in the lead was a monster. That was all that I could say about his three heads, horns, and nauseating appearance. He was hard to look at, but I also couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I was too hyper focused on what was happening with my mom. I needed to make sure that she was OK. I needed to see that she was not going to be hurt by those people.
There had been so talking. Then so yelling. Quite a bit of laughter. More yelling. I thought that maybe, just maybe, my mom might be able to get through to those people. But then the monster man pointed at my mom, and consequently the rest of us, and yelled.
“ATTACK!”
It was at that mont that all hell seed to break loose. And coming from the person that was supposed to take over the underworld when they graduated from college, I knew what hell was like. The actual torturous part of the underworld that is. The monsters and humans on the bridge all surged forward, storming toward my mom as she readied herself for the battle. My dad, seeing that she was in danger, already started to run toward her.
.....
The humans that were attacking her stopped at her, but the monsters leapt over her. One attacked my dad. Perhaps that was all that he noticed with his attention on my mom so much, but there were way more than just the one. There had been eight that jumped around and over my mom. After Dad killed the one, it left seven that were coming straight toward Lex and I.
I tried to focus solely on my battle, fighting the monsters that were here for and Lex, but I was also focused on my parents. I knew that they had a lot more battle experience than I had, which I had none, but I was still worried about them. I could only associate that with familial love and bond. The protection instinct was strong in as it was with most wolves.
My parents seed to be doing just fine. They didn’t seem to be taking any damage at all at least. So, seeing that, I focused on the monsters that were closer to and Lex. It was ti for to fight for the first ti ever. Even if Lex tried to tell that I shouldn’t, I was going to fight.
I saw Lex wielding a large silver sword. It was one that my parents had given him to train with, and to fight with if the need ever arose. This was literally the first ti that he had needed to use it in combat. That wasn’t the only weapon that he had though. He had the sword in his right hand, but there was a gun in his left hand. He liked the modern weapon a lot, and was quite the marksn with it.
I saw that he was first shooting the enemies around him, aiming to wound them and distract them before he jumped on their backs and hacked them to pieces. I knew that he was good with what it was that he was doing, so I didn’t need to focus on him at all. The other monsters though, were my concern.
I didn’t have a weapon. I had never needed one. But I was a weapon. I had magic. And on top of that, I had Angel. My little Dragixie that had guided my mom ho all those years ago. Angel, who was usually still that small pink fluffy ball of love, but had abilities that I had never shown to anyone. Angel, who was always with , even when she couldn’t be seen.
Over the years, I had learned to hide Angel inside of . I didn’t take her with to school and places like that. And I didn’t like to sleep with her inside of , that caused strange dreams, but she grew in power, and so did I, when I called her inside of .
She had stayed in the castle when I ca out here, but I had summoned her the mont that the man yelled attack. It was my first instinct. And I could see her now, flying toward , that pink little fluffy friend that I had kept for over a decade.
“Talia calls Angel?” She said happily as she zood toward and landed on my shoulder.
“It’s ti to help people, Angel.” I told her. “We need to fight.”
“Angel gets power?” She asked as she nuzzled my cheek.
“Yes. And I need to use that power of yours as well.”
I had never fought this way, never even trained this way before either. This was going to be a learning experience for both and Angel. I didn’t care though, I needed to make sure that I was able to win this fight.
I held my hand out and Angel flew down to it. She started to wrap herself around my hand and then my wrist. She grew longer and longer as she went up my shoulder and around my neck. When she was wrapped around my chest, I knew that she was done growing for the ti being. Though, I had a feeling that she could get a lot bigger if we tried hard enough.
Angel had beco a part of . I could feel her soul inside of my body, and she was boosting my power to be even stronger than I had ever felt it before. She was thrumming inside of as I called the magic toward . Magic that I had only ever heard about but never tried before.
Mom and Dad both had weapons, so I thought that I should have one too. I could see it too. It was purple, like the color of my wolf. Dark purple for the most part, but shining with the light of the pale shades. It was a blade, but not a sword. Instead, this blade was curved and attached to a long handle that I recognized as being an English Violet. It was the darkest shade of purple that there was. I had looked them up after I shifted to see what colors I had been.
“Purple is quickly becoming my favorite color.” I grinned as I looked at the blade. “Now, it’s ti to fight.”
“Talia looks cool.” Angel said as she spoke inside of my head. “Kill monsters now.”
“Yes Angel, we’re going to kill them now.” I nodded and leapt through the air toward the closest monster. I sliced at it with the blade that I had summoned and saw that the arm was cut off perfectly at the shoulder.
“SCREEEEE!” The monster literally let out a loud screeching yowl that hurt my ears. I didn’t cover them though. I was too busy for that. I continued to hack away at the thing.
As I made slice after slice, I saw that sothing was happening. The soul that was inside of the creature was being removed piece by piece. And it was being absorbed into my blade. I was literally collecting its soul. That was completely unexpected.
I continued to kill that monster and then the next one that ca running toward . I had already swiped at it when I heard a voice call out to .
“TALIA!” It was Lex, he had noticed that I was fighting with him and the others. “GET OUT OF THERE!”
“I am helping.” I called back to him as I started to collect another soul into my weapon. “Keep fighting.”
It was then that I heard the sound of my father screaming. He had been attacked. And my mother’s voice ca right after that.
“AHHH!”
“REECE!” I looked up in ti to see that a monster had sunk its talons into my dad’s back and sides and was flying away with him.
“DAD!” I yelled, abandoning the battle that was in front of . And I didn’t see the fact that there was another monster looming up toward . And this was the one that I didn’t want to see. This was the leader that my mom had talked to, the one that was so very ugly.
I hadn’t noticed him though as I started to run toward my parents. The monster that I was collecting the soul of was still alive, just barely, and the leader was looming behind . I was going to be attacked and I didn’t even know it.
“TALIA!” Lex called for again as he leapt in front of the two monsters that were about to attack . The injured one pierced him in the stomach, only reaching that high in its injured state. The leader though, he was standing there with a smirk on his face when I spun around. He had a massively clawed hand that was aid at Lex’s chest.
“LEX!” I scread his na as the claws buried themselves inside of the guard that I had known for my entire life. “LEX!” I scread his na again. “LEX!” I felt as if sothing inside of broke. I didn’t know what to do. I was broken, that was the only explanation for it. I had just watched my dad and Lex get hurt. And I didn’t know if either of them were going to live.
