Chapter 12 - Chapter 11 Sunrise Before Dawn

"Seriously, put on some clothes"

"Here, use my coat" Lorainne said as she threw her blue coat towards him.

"Um, thanks but who are you?"

"I guess I've really aged isn't it, it's me, Lorainne" Lorainne introduced herself.

"Whaat, you're old, although not too old"

"Oh please spare me that, you're just lucky to return to this world once more"

"Yeah I know, and it's thanks to you two"

"Oh please, hurry up and defeat this guy" Lorainne said as she blushed.

"Please lend me" Xenox said as he collected the sword Xander was holding. He coated the sword in flames

** Multiple Flame Slash**

Xenox sends multiple Flame slashes to Kirigan but he protects himself with a shield barrier

"As expected, nothing like this can touch him" Xenox muttered .

He them propelled himself forward using flame magic and creates flame in the form of javelin and sends it to Kirigan. Kirigan tries to block it but it penetrates the shield barrier

"Whaat??" Kirigan was shocked as the javelin struck him, crashing him to the ground.

" Wow, that's amazing" Lorainne said in awe.

"That was a nice warm up I guess"

"Oh please don't flatter me brother, that took a lot from me" Xenox said as he face grew pale.

"I guess your magic hasn't fully returned"

"Yep, that's true"

"Meaning it's not yet over" A sinister voice filled the air.

Kirigan has already gotten back on his feet.

"That guy's an undead!!"

"I'm impressed you pushed me this far but I'm guessing this is the end!!"

********* Domain Inhibition**********

Immediately the space around them was covered in dark fog.

"What the hell??"

Xander sends flame balls to dissipate the fog but the flame balls were extinguished immediately.

"You're inside my domain so I control everything going on inside here, even the flow of your magic"

"Whaat--?"

"Meaning all your efforts are useless the only way you're getting help is if I let you out or someone intervenes from outside of which is highly impossible since I'll be keeping watch. Your fyes will be extracted and you'll become my slaves" Kirigan said as he gave a creepy laughter.

"This means we're done for" Xenox said.

"I wouldn't say so, Chiad's outside" Lorainne said.

"But he's keeping watch so how're we gonna contact him?"

"Use your prominence flame" Lorainne suggested

"You think that'll work?"

"Stop asking questions and just do it!!, listen to me for once"Lorainne ordered.

"Yes ma'am"

"How commanding can she be?" Xander wondered.

Xenox concentrated a large amount of flame in his fingertip and sends it forward, creating a large explosion but the fog immediately covers the flame's impact

"Told ya it won't work" Xenox shrugged

"I'm not sure about that, do it again!!" Lorainne said as she gave a smile.

"Twas for a split second but I felt it"

"Felt what Sir Chiad?" Seren asked.

"Sir Xenox's prominence flame" Chiad answered

"Whaat??"

"That's not possible, he's dead"

"Boom"

"I feel it again, it's coming from that direction" Chiad said as he ran westward as the three boys followed suit.

"Do you think my dad's alive?" Nathaniel asked.

"I don't know but there no doubt about it, it's his prominence flame" Chiad replied.

They reached the scene only to see a large black fog.

"What's that??"

"Oho, new guests have arrived" Kirigan said as he stood in the air.

"Who the hell are you?" Chiad asked in all boldness.

"Ohh, that's rude of you, well whatever, I'm Kirigan of the BIWA seat, your new master"

"Is that some kind of joke or what??"

"No it's actually true, I'll take your fyes and you'll be mine"

"In your dreams!!" Chiad drew out his sword.

"You're so impatient, well I'll give you what you want" Kirigan creates lightning strikes and sends it toward them but Chiad deflects them with his flame coated sword.

"Wow, blue flame, I really need to make you mine"

"Shut up you bastard!!" Chiad said as he took a stance.

"That stance, are you in any way related to Xenox?"

"How did you know my father??" Nathaniel asked with anger

"Well, he's inside there with his brother, they're a threat so I need to finish them off"

"Whaat??"

"Hey Xenox, your boys are here!!" Kirigan called out.

"Touch any of them and you'll regret the day your mother has her first kiss!!" Xander thundered back.

"How touching!!, but there's nothing you can do"

"Let them go!!" Nathaniel shouted as he released flame balls at Kirigan.

"Oh my, as impatient as his father"

Kirigan deflects the attack back at him

"Watch out!!" Chiad cuts through the flame balls.

"You need to pay attention, this is not the time to be reckless as your father!!" Chiad scolded him.

"Sorry, I was just trying to help"

"Before you help, think first before acting!!"

"Where's Seren?" Justin asked after looking around and not seeing any trace of him.

"Whaat?"

"Seren!!!" Nathaniel cried out

"Looking for him?" Kirigan said as he rose Seren up.

"How did he get him?"

"Honestly I was surprised, someone besides me could pass through my domain but I was quick to notice"

"Let him go!!" Nathaniel thundered. Chiad leapt forward but was blown backwards by a strong wind which Kirigan created, hitting him against a wall.

"You're next" Kirigan said as she struck Justin with lightning

"Aah!!" Justin let out a loud cry as he fell to the ground.

"You know, I like you" Kirigan said.

"Ew gross" Nathaniel commented

"And for everyone I like, I love to see them in despair"

Kirigan rose Seren higher and slammed him to the ground

"Aah!!" Seren let out a loud cry. It was as though Kirigan was controlling the way his body moves.

"Stop this minute!!"

"Make me, I control every muscle, every vein in his body" Kirigan let out an evil laughter.

Kirigan went further by twisting Seren's right hand to the back, dislocating his shoulder. Seren let out a loud cry as the pain was becoming unbearable.

"Stoppp"

" If you want me to stop, then give in to despair, but you can't give in if I stop" Kirigan said as he twisted Seren's ankle.

" Please stopp" Nathaniel pleaded. Tears were already welling up in his eye lids.

"Just a little more" Kirigan said before twisting Seren's neck to the back, knocking Seren out.

"Oh my, he's dead" Kirigan said before throwing the body like some garbage to the ground.

"Seren!!!" Nathaniel let out a loud cry.

"What did you do to my boy??" Xander screamed in anger, breaking the domain inhibition.

"No one's ever broken my domain inhibition from within" Kirigan said in fear.

"I'll kill you" Nathaniel said in a still gentle voice. Immediately the air around became so hot.

"What's happening?" Xenox asked as he felt the heat in the air.

"What's this pressure?" Kirigan wondered.

Nathaniel looked at Kirigan with peering eyes. His eyes were orange like the sun. Kirigan could feel the shivers of fear run down his spine when Nathaniel's gaze fell on him.

"Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel began to levitate from the ground. At that split second, the sun rose amidst the dark sky of the night.

"It can't be!!" Kirigan screamed.

"He who has the power to bring the sun to light, the deity of the sun" Lorainne muttered.

"Nathaniel's the sun deity??"

"I can't believe I sped up the awakening of the sun deity when I was supposed to eliminate him" Kirigan said in fear.

"This is bad, really bad!!" Mirapolos said, quivering in fear.

In the blink of an eye, Nathaniel was right in front of Kirigan

"Wha--"

Before Kirigan could speak, Nathaniel punched him hard that sends him flying.

"What power??"

The sun shone brighter and brighter and brighter. The ground was becoming hotter and hotter, plants were already going up in flames and the river of Cairhien was evaporating. People could feel the heat as it scorched some.

"This power, just as the legends say, he can destroy the earth with his gaze" Lorainne said.

"Does this mean we're toast?"

"How did he become like this?" Xenox asked.

"I'm guessing it's pent up emotions because Kirigan killed Seren" Justin explained.

In the midst of the heat, something happened.

The body of deceased Seren stood up.

"How is he alive??, I killed him!!" Kirigan was dumbfounded.

The light of the bright sun shown upon him. His broken limbs began turning back to normal. His neck went back to it's original position

"What is he, an undead??"

Everyone was baffled at what they saw.

"Mirapolos, we're leaving!!" Kirigan said as he took flight

"I don't remember saying I'll let you off" Nathaniel said. Immediately a strong pressure pressed Kirigan to the ground.

"What the--"

"We're doomed" Mirapolos quivered.

"I'll end you today" Nathaniel said. His voice sounded like the voice of hundred men.

"What power!!"

Nathaniel gathered a ball of flame in his hand. Although the flame was just a trinkle, the heat emanating from it was intense.

********"Sun Kiss"************

Nathaniel slapped the flame to the ground where Kirigan was being held down by the pressure.

Immediately, everything that stood where Kirigan stood was no more. Everything had been obliterated by the flame.
