Cerocia's Savior

“Welcome to Cerocia,” said a mysterious deep voice.
“W-w-who are y-y-you?” I asked frightened.
“No need for worrying, I am Relarahur, Gate Keeper of Cerocia. I know your mission and you are the legendary Keeper of the Light”
“What Keeper of the Light?”
“A long time ago, many have perished from Kione’s Army because they cause nothing but darkness. Truth be told, Kione rose from people’s hatred, but only the descendent of Aderes, the Protector, can bring him to peace.”
“How do you know that I am the related to Aderes?”
“You hold the birthmark of the harp on your right arm,” said Relarahur. Trying to prove the Gate Keeper wrong, I showed him my right arm. Relarahur smiled a ten-watt smile because the “harp mark” was there. I was rotting away inside, knowing that the prophecy has made me bait. “Since you have to go to Kione Kingdom, I advise you to bring Aereon,” said Relarahur, as he led me to the stables. Like a dog called by his master, Aereon obediently came by swinging down from the rope and flipped towards me.“Relarahur, I see that you brought a friend,” he said in a muscular voice that made me blushed ten shades of red.
“My name is Jazmyn,” I said, while sticking my hand out for a shake. Instead, he acted like a gentleman and kissed my hand. Just then, my head felt light and I fainted. Several hours later, I ended up on the back a horse with its tail whipping my face. “You have woken up fair Jazmyn,” said Aereon as he tossed me the reins of my horse. The smell of the air seemed to get putrid as we travelled further on. As I looked back, Cerocia was still gleaming. However, the roads seemed broken and the ravens perched up the dead trees.
“Where are we?” I asked, still regaining consciousness.
“Luckily for you, Relarahur whipped up a spell that sent us flying high from the Gate of Cerocia to the Border of Kione Kingdom. Now fair Jazmyn, we have to be careful for Kione sent out the Gorons to hunt us down. It seems as though Kione heard that Aderes’s descendent has arrived,” explained Aereon, as a worried looked plastered his face. As we rode in silence, I noticed that Aereon had a fiery red mark on the back of his neck.
I dare not ask but temptation forced me to say, “Aereon, what happened to your neck?”“You mean the red mark? It was from a fight with the Gorons. They may be stupid but they pack a punch,” said Aereon as he shamefully covered him mark with his hand. “Did your mother worry about you?”
“Nope, neither did my father because both of them were killed right in front of my eyes by Kione.”
Suddenly, my horse threw me off guard towards a pile of bushes. Luckily, the bush cushioned my fall, but I felt a chill. As I looked at Aereon, his face turned as white as a ghost. Just then, the bush began to rustle and I was lifted up by a massive demon.
“GORON!” shouted Aereon as he pulled out his sword. I quickly grabbed one of the branches so I will not plummet to the ground. However, my body felt a rush of poison coming from the bush. Helpless, I saw Aereon being clawed by several Gorons as my body stayed paralyzed. Then, everything turned pitch black and the sounds of ravens cackling filled the air.When I opened my eyes, Kione stared me down as though I was the prey, while he was the predator.
“So this is the new Light? This pathetic piece of garbage!” shouted Kione as he slapped me across my face. The fumes of hate and anger made me dizzy but I stayed conscious.“Never lay a finger on her!” yelled Aereon with scars all over his body. Kione just laughed, while his tail swished from left to right. Then, the tail wrapped itself around me just like an anaconda and squeezed the life out of me. My mind raced back from when my mother hugged me, the hug that sent a gush of love to my body. Reacting to the love, Kione’s spiteful tail recoils back to his pitiful body.
“You stupid girl, what did you do?” Kione asked as he kissed his tail.
“I remembered love and delight,” I told him with a grin.“Well, your happiness can never outwit my darkness!” said Kione as he unleashed Gorons from every corner of the room. To make matters worse, Aereon was still weak so Kione whisked him away. I was helpless to do anything so I curled myself up into a ball. With a stroke of luck, Aderes appeared before my eyes.
“Never let darkness win, remember that Cerocia needs your strength. Suck it up or I will come down from Heaven and personally deliver a butt-kicking for you.” I never knew protectors were so uptight but Aderes gave me courage to keep fighting.
“Jazmyn, I will transfer my strength to you but you have to give off your unique power of happiness,” said Aderes while I nodded obediently. A surge of love, joy, and power filled my body and I transformed completely. Aderes’s power gave me white wings that spread out as long as an elephant’s trunk. My eyes turned from hollow black to hopeful green, while my arms gained the strength of ten giants. Right then, I know that I am ready to save the world. Several Gorons came hurtling towards me so I leaped into the air and the Gorons crashed into each other. As moronic as they are, the Gorons persevered and kept fighting for their devious leader. One Goron tried to punch me, but I grabbed his fist and threw him over my back.
“This is just too easy,” I told them with a snort and charged all my energy for the “Angel Thruster”. With just one blow, I killed all the Gorons brutally and sounds of screeching filled the air. “Jazmyn!” shouted Aereon with fear as I flew upwards at high speed. As I reached the roof of Kione’s castle, I found that half of the kingdom fell to ruins from my “Angel Thruster”.
“You idiot, you killed my empire!” shouted Kione in rage.“It is your fault for ruining Cerocia in the first place!” I exclaimed and shot him with my “Aurora Ray”. As slick as he is, Kione stopped it with a magical shield and it ricochet back to me.
“It seems Little Light got herself some new powers!” Kione cried out and blasted an energy beam at me.
“Jazmyn, I believe that you could defeat me but believing is only for Cerocians,” he said as the beam sent me hurtling towards the brick wall. Underneath the cold rubble, my mind remembered the moments that I cherished with the people I have loved. With those memories, I formed a sword capable of killing Kione. At full speed, I darted at Kione but he would not dodge my attack. Without hesitation, I thrust the sword into Kione’s heart.
“You see Kione; you can never win against the powers of good!” I said beaming. “Oh really Little Light, then take a good look behind,” said Kione with his last breath. I turned my head back and Aereon was pointing his sword at me.
“Aereon, what are you doing?” I asked, confused.
“You killed my master,” said Aereon, fuming with anger. I was dazed because I had no idea why Aereon is acting like a maniac. However, I sensed Aereon had been controlled by the fiery mark behind his neck.
“Jazmyn, master told me to kill you and I shall,” said Aereon sinisterly.Backing away, I reached the edge of the castle wall. Slowly, my powers faded away since I have used up all of it to defeat Kione. Now I knew that Kione had passed his soul into Aereon’s heart thus making Aereon abolish me. Staring into Aereon’s empty eyes, my body felt fatigue as my wings faded away. As he moved closer, Aereon brandished his sword and I stood motionless. Out of impulse, I quickly gave him a kiss to block off Kione’s darkness. Luckily for me, his eyes turned back to ash brown, and his expression spoke of love. Aereon dropped his sword and returned the favour by hugging me tightly. As the dark kingdom began to see the light, all of Cerocia could smile once again. Back at Cerocia, a flood of cheers drowned Aereon and I as we entered with wounds of heroism. Trees and flowers began to blossom colours of the rainbow.
“Cerocia glimmers as it sees your face,” Aereon whispered romantically in my ear. I just smiled at him, love struck by his affectionate personality. “Heroes of Cerocia, I give you the respect of Aderes and the blessing of a fine wedding!” boomed Relarahur as the crowd cheered louder. Both Aereon and I were startled but all Relarahur said was, “As love fills the air, Cerocia can never see darkness again.” However, I keep wondering that Kione still lives to seek revenge.
