73- Finale pt.1

Xaden and Segyl step out looking around, no Tairn, no reborns close to us. " Before we go, take a few."

He quickly hands me a few daggers for killing the venin. He gives me a solemn look  " Before we go-"

" Don't Xaden." I say quickly looking at him, " We need to focus...So just..." I sigh, " Don't."

" I'd rather get this all out before we have the possibility of dying." He urges.

" Well then, don't die." I say quickly, Rhys taking off in the air.

" You should let him talk before we do this." Rhys grubles lowly in my head.

" If he wants to say it so damn bad, it's motivation to stay alive."

" You know battling my older brother is his rider is close to a suicide mission. Let the boy talk."

I clench my jaw looking back over my shoulder, " I don't want to hear your apology, but I understand why you did it. All of it, and I understand why you didn't tell me."

He nods, " That's all I wanted to explain."

I give a nod back as Segyl stays closer to Rhys as we fly trying to find where they were heading, Xaden  looks back at the others giving them the nod to get the hell out of there. Garrick gives the nod back as he instructs them what to do.

I catch the eyes of Liam as they put Deigh in the middle of them to avoid exposure.....Please let him get back safely. His eyes look pleading as they fly, I only know he's thinking the same of me... to live.

I bend my mouth just a little to form a half ass smile, even if I hate all of them I will not die leaving them with a sour impression. He returns it and they're off.

I quickly scan the skies, it was... quiet. They're not passing over the village, they're going west... I've never been to far west ot really hear anything about further west. 

Now knowing why...

" Come on, he'll be making his round pretty damn soon. We should try to hide and see if we can flame the bitch right off of him."

I clench and unclench my hands glancing at him, " I don't think it'll be that easy."

" No.. probably not but maybe the goddess of luck Tyche will look on us with favor. Since we saved all those people."

" Or hate since we took all those souls from her husband."

He manages a small chuckle, " Very possible. But lengend has it she hates her husband and was a just women."

" Then let's sure as hell hope."

I feel the anticipation of what was to come. " Can you kill your brother?" I ask aloud to Rhys.

" He's already dead. What's left of him is a shell of his former self, a bit of his power and the void magic of the venin."

" It's to quiet." Segyl notes.

We all shut up and listen.

Sure enough, no more screaming, no more shrills of reborns or wyvern, no roar of Tairn. My eyes shoot in every direction, slowly grabbing the sword that was on my back. 

Then, all I saw was blue, and the unbearbale heat as Segyl and Rhys needed to break off seperating, the blue flame separating us. I smell the rot, I see this black thing shoot up so quickly.

I see a girl, our age riding on his back, secured with chains. Can she not keep her seat? Or is there another reason.

Rhys was fast to bank throwing flames at the pair. Tairn turns flapping his wings, sending a gust of our fire back at us. " Shit!" Xaden yells and Segyl plummets to avoid our flames.

Well...can't do that...

The girl smiles maliciously " Freya Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson... I'm honored, you came to say hi to little ole' me?"

" You could say that." I spit.

She lets out a hyena like laugh looking between the two of us, " I though there were others."

Shit...

" You and your crew took care of that." I try to sound angered as possible, hoping she's a bit more dumb then she looks.

She grins, " I think there was plenty of time to run if you really wanted to." She sighs grinning even more, " I also think Ms Freya... Your underestimating me as a fool. I know there were others... I know we didn't kill all of them... unfortunately. Are you here... Are you here to distract me?" She asks grinning even further if that was even possible.

It was eerie.

" You are aren't you?" She asks again. She leans back crossing her arms, " Can I tell you a little secret... I'll just tell you anyways.. I already know. We already took care of them..."

I feel my stomach plummet as we look at them. She cocks her head, " I have a feeling you don't believe me.... Let me show you.."

She reaches in a sack that was attatched to Tairn, she throws....

I almost threw up... I fought like my life depended on it to not scream, She threw me.... Hetta's head.

How.. How didn't we hear it, hear them?!

My eyes shot back to hers as she looks pleased, " Freya!" Xaden yells.

I feel the vibration of the growl, my head looking back down to see... a baby? A reborn baby now curled up in my hands instead of Hetta's head. Without a thought I plunged my dagger into the being throwing it off Rhys.

" Awe! You just threw a poor baby?" Temny asks feinign shock, " Come on I needed to go through a blubbering mother for that thing.. I thought for sure it'd work.. I really wanted to see your shocked face when the thing ate your face off.."

" You twisted bitch!" I yell.

" Awe.. is that supposed to hurt my feelings?" She asks pouting.  " I'm so hurt.."

I feel the crackling of the lightning coming down my arms as I glare at her, ofcourse she noticed straightening. " Well... look at that.... You know he told me I couldn'tn kill you... but I sure as hell can hurt you, he'll be very pleased to know your wielding lightning or...." She tilts her head again, " Maybe I'll just take it for myself..."

Tairn growls making her head snap to him, she grumbles " Rhys was your borther always this... crabby.. it's almost sickening.. If only he could be as laid back as you.."

" You know her?!" I ask.

" Yes." Rhys responds not taking his focus off of the pair.

" You look confused my sweet Freya." Temny smiles " Rhys and I go wayyy back.. My father used to be his rider... before he decided he was to good for us.. But I guess it worked out because.. Look! I have your brother! Well, father dearest has him but he's letting me barrow him for these few errands.." 

She sighs again, " Bigger and better am I right?"

I grip my sword, " I see sadistic bastards run in your family."

She sees me grip my sword " Freya... if you want a fight and die horrifically all you needed to do was ask my dear.... Though I really don't have time right now... I'm kinda looking for something and now I need to rummage through that damn city through the mess you made.."

" What are you looking for? I'm sure I can point you in the right direction."

She smiles, " You'd like that wouldn't you... You know what.. Today has been exhausting..." She smiles.. " I need a little entertainment.."

She snaps her fingers and that's when I hear a horde, " Let's play shall we?"
