Unknowingly to the superiors, the kids were heading toward the second spiritual point.
"Where are we going, Luci?" Alexandra groaned looking around at the trees and rocks
Lucielle smiled, "Almost there."
The twins felt their bodies shifting as if against resistance of some sort. Their surroundings changed and they gaped at the new forest they stared at.
"Where are we?" Alexander exclaimed
Lucielle answered, "I don't know. But I like it here."
"We don't have time to sightsee. Why is the tree?" Alexandra groaned pulling her eyes away from the area
"Over there," Lucielle informed
They turned their gaze to a beautiful tree with sparkly pink-green leaves and a dark brown trunk. On its branches were yellow star-shaped fruits that faced upwards to the sky.
"Well, let's get going." Alexandra smiled
Lucielle exclaimed, "Wait!!"
"What's wrong Luci?" Alexander asked with concern
Lucielle looked around and frowned, "Something's....changed."
Lucielle spread out her energy and was 'looking' around frantically for an anomaly. She gasped and turned to the twins.
"The corruption...." Lucielle began
BOOM
A dragon landed in front of the children, looked at them and smirked. It had dull red scales bright green eyes and black claws.
"Well, greetings tiny Monarchs." it smiled "This guardian's name is Ria."
"...Hi." the kids went
Ria lay down on her side and placed her holding her chin with her right hand. Her tail circled the children and she let out a sigh.
"You're here for fruit?" Ria asked
Alexander replied, "...Yes."
"You're Monarchs. You take what you want but since you're here." Ria told
She stood on her hind legs and bowed her head toward the children. Her facial expression was serious.
"The Guardian of the Stella Region request for assistance." she said "The corruption has taken the form of a monster and I can't leave the Stella tree unguarded because unknown intruders entered after the Monarchs arrived."
Lucielle replied, "Alright. When we return, please give us fruit."
"Of course and thank you so much." Ria smiled "I'll give you the best fruit."
Ria looked up.
"Help the tiny Monarchs to their destination." the dragon ordered
The kids didn't see anything and looked at the dragon with confused eyes. She didn't seem like a very old mythical creature or were they wrong?
Suddenly the ground shook as enormous butterflies flew downward. Their wings slid underneath the children's feet and they were airborne.
Lucielle's expression brightened at the new feelings as the air swept through her hair and the touch of the butterfly's wings. The twins explained everything in a great descriptive manner that for a moment Lucielle forgot she was blind.
The butterflies landed on trees above the corruption monsters. The flora around them was wilted into dust particles and a wave of negative emotions filled the children. Within them, they felt the urge to wipe them off the face of the earth.
"You guys should go," Lucielle told the butterflies
Alexandra grinned, "Don't worry. We'll chase the bad guys away."
They got off the insects and looked at the monsters again. The twins advanced, their claws extended out and started to kill the monsters indiscriminately as Lucielle 'watched'.
Lucielle felt the fluctuations of energy and yelled, "WAIT!!"
An explosion detonated and the twins were pushed outwards. Lucielle descended downward, in front of the twins and prepared herself to attack.
"Look what we found?" A voice laughed "Some gifted children."
"And a blind brat." another feminine voice sighed
Ria watching exclaimed, "What are the intruders doing there?!"
Lucielle identified there were ten enemies with seven monsters. Alexander had sprained his ankle from the impact on landing and his twin had scars near her vital areas. She clutched her teeth together in thought.
"The kid could be useful so we'll grab her too." the first voice told
Lucielle took a breath in and the enemies looked at her as if she were doing a circus trick. Until two humans in the back caught on fire and burned to death.
"The fuck-" the second voice exclaimed
"Don't use bad language," Alexandra said from behind the woman
She managed to dodge Alexandra's claws and saw her body heading to Alexander's claws.
"GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME, TARA!!" The man yelled rushing over to Alexander
The twins backflipped as Lucielle raised her hands and the energy in the area urged tremendously. The enemies tried to get closer to her but were pushed back by some force.
A light blue woman with no legs, blue nail-painted slender fingers and eyes covered by a silky fabric.
"Don't look down on me because I'm blind." Lucielle warned as she clapped her hands "Especially on this side of the forest."
The blue woman opened her mouth, the twins pushed back into the bushes and fog came out. Lucielle clapped her hands again and two women appeared on both of the blue one. One woman was red while the woman on the left was green.
"Don't underestimate us, greenhorns." The male frowned
Lucielle smirked and disappeared from view. Tara yelled for them to regroup but only the sounds of screams replied.
"Damn it. What now, Leon?" Tara asked
Leon frowned, "Each man for himself I guess."
Leon turned his body sharply and stabbed Alexander's forearm. He looked into the child's fierce eyes.
"And get rid of these annoying pests." He smirked "If you can't control them-"
"Kill them." Alexander finished as he held the blade sticking out of his body strongly
Alexandra appeared from his blind spot, he barely managed to dodge but abandoned his weapon. Although her claws sliced off his ear and Leon punched her into the earth.
He saw the girl smile back at him as blood leaked out of her mouth. Clawed hands sprung out of the earth, grabbed the twins and pulled them into the ground as arrows descended on them.
"What's the plan now?" Tara coughed
Leon frowned, "Stay alive until we can use that."
Lucielle whispered into his ear, "What is that?"
Tara looked at the blind girl sitting in the air near her. The colored women's hands gripped her body tightly and Tara swallowed her saliva.
"Will you tell me?" Lucielle asked making a cute expression
A scream echoed, "HELP ME!!!!"
