The Altar 3

The foundation beneath them shook with an unknown rage. Even so, there seemed to be an eerie silence forming a blanket around The Altar. The was no obvious life visible other than the Crystal, Kyba, and the dark mermaid.

The stone pillars started to fall one by one. They seem to randomly slam upon The Altar's base foundation while nearly missing the stone table.

Amidst this chaos Kyba tried to shield himself and the girl from the falling pillars. But in the end it seemed that as long as they were both on top of the stone table, they were safe. There was no shield around the table. For some reason, there was no threat to the table's surrounding circumference.

Now sitting on the blood stained stone table, Kyba cradled the girl in his arms while still putting pressure upon her wound. Yet, the blood continued to flow without fail. Kyba tried release his wings so that he could shoot them both out of the water, but in the end all of his efforts were futile. A mysterious force of some kind seemed to counteract all his efforts.


"Wait, where is the black mermaid," Kyba thought to himself.

Admist the chaos occurring around them Kyba could not sense nor could he find the mermaid. Kyba calmed down and closed his eyes. He allowed all that was happening to him to fade away. There were no falling pillars, no shaking, and no chaos. Then, he focused his thoughts on his third eldest brother, Pegasus.

"Pegasus! Help! I'm trapped," thought Kyba telepathically.

"Where are you," asked Pegasus calmly.

"I'm about several hundred feet near the lagoon. I'm underwater, no time..."

Just then, Kyba felt a sharp pain in abdomen. He looked to his abdomen and found an ice-like object sticking out. Around the outer end of the ice object was the delicate, pale hand of the girl he was holding in his arms. The girl that he was protecting had stabbed a sharp piece of ice into his abdomen. For a second, Kyba was confused, but he immediately pushed the pain to the back of his mind. Kyba quickly looked into the girl's eyes. Her eyes were blank and lifeless. He knew immediately that her body was being controlled.

"Ah hahaha," cackled the black mermaid.
"What did you do," cried Kyba furiously.
"If I can't get her blood then your blood will have to do. I will be the ultimate one! The power! The power!"
"What.... "

Kyba could barely hold his composure. His surroundings began to wobble. He felt repetitive pulses radiate throughout his entire body, especially his head. He constantly made great efforts to take deep breaths. Everything was blurry and foggy. All he heard were the deep breaths he was taking.

Pegasus... please I can't . . .

Darkness draped across his vision.
