The way to the light


(16)




Drops of sweat flowed down her forehead. She panted audibly. Then she raised her other hand to Kalsayac as well. With her last sanity, Azurian fired a beam that sent Kalsayac flying through the ceiling. Azurian leaned on the floor, panting, his face frightened. Then she turned to Fisk and put her sword aside. The stones on top of it crumbled to the ground. Fisk lay on the wall at the normal level with a painful mine. A little blood ran from his temple. "Fisk! Fisk !!!" No response. "Please, Fisk, wake up ..." Sweat mixed with tears. Azurian shook Fisk as he groaned.




She wiped the tears from her eyes as Yoki ran to her. He was quiet, but kept looking around. Then Azurian put her hands over Fisk and slowly let her energy flow into him. He moved slowly, the blood dried up on his cheek and Fisk opened his eyes."Azurian ... Save your strength for Kal ..." He took a short breath. But she brought more strength to him, so that he got up slowly at first and then faster and faster. Suddenly Yoki listened up and quickly returned to the altar. Azurian took her sword and helped Fisk stay on his feet.




Kalsayac returned through the ceiling, which was already decorated with many large holes. He seemed even wilder and angrier and stomped over to Azurian. She blocked with all her strength in her sword arm. Fisk released himself from Azurian's grip and staggered helplessly in front of Azurian with his sword drawn. She was about to help him again when Fisk refused. He turned into ultra-saiya-jin with great difficulty. His left hand was the only one to control the blade, as the other arm was still injured. His posture stabilized and he looked into Kalsayac's shining eyes. He attacked. His opponent parried. Azurian charged from behind, pushing Kalsayac back.Fisk helped from the flank. They pushed their opponent towards the sacred crystal.




Yoki stood behind the altar, trembling and holding the stone in front of the right place on the crystal. "Will he fall for it this time too?" Yoki thought. Kalsayac turned the tables and moved away from the crystal. Yoki cursed briefly, suppressed. He thought of Liura, of her father. His nervousness rose and rose. Then Yoki reconsidered the situation and concluded that he had done just the right thing.


Azurian and Fisk were slowly losing control. Kalsayac kept pushing her back.




The princess walked through the buried palace, against the instructions of Yoki. Tears ran down Liura's cheeks. Everywhere she saw the slain paladins who fell victim to the rubble. Then she stepped outside. Here, too, there was dead silence. The royal court was swept empty and Liura left it.Outside there were even fewer people than was usual. She met some survivors who ignored her. Soon the palace could no longer be seen.




He felt the stab of pain in his right arm, but Fisk was doing it as well as he could. The last time he looked back, Azurian looks at him pityingly and surrendering. But he needed her. Not just to dry up Kalsayac. Fisk had realized how much she was worth to him and vice versa. He looked at the sky through a hole in the ceiling. It was getting dark. The memory of the kiss the other day flashed through his mind. His pressure on Kalsayac's sword increased. He realized more and more who he was training for over the 5 years. His opponent reluctantly stepped back.




Azurian was puzzled by Fisk's sudden change in strength and tried to support him as best she could. So he succeeded in taking control of the fight again.Hope and determination crossed her face as Kalsayac got close to the crystal again. "Just a little more ..." Azurian thought, squeezing harder. Fisk seemed to be at full strength despite his injured arm. Fisk looked back at her. He nodded briefly and Azurian understood.




"Now die, you monster!" Fisk shouted while he had got Kalsayac over the crystal with Azurian's help. "YEEAAAH !!!" Now he was finally caught in the beam of light. It burned visibly under Kalsayac's armor. Then it was Yoki's turn and with a short delay put the amulet into the crystal.




The citadel was quiet. Neither Yoki, Azurian, Fisk, nor Kalsayac made any noise. Then the amplified beam of light pierced Kalsayac and made him scream. He thrashed around, roared, his eyes glowed and didn't glow again, etc., he released the handle from the shadow blade, which then fell to the ground.Kalsayac floated on the beam or around it, carried by the light. After a minute his spirits failed and all recognizable signs of vitality left him.


The body fell to the floor, surrounding the holder of the crystal, which was still in full splendor and sent its incredibly bright beam through the ceiling. Fisk's hair turned blue, his eyes closed and he got on his knees, dropping his sword. Azurian secured hers in the bracket in her back and knelt behind Fisk. Yoki also took a breather, but standing. The shadow blade grew weaker and weaker.




Azurian was relieved and extremely happy. She was exhausted and kept Fisk from falling to the floor. He looked laboriously at her. His gaze was tight but happy.


"Azurian ... I ... I love you ..." came over his smiling lips. For Azurian, this was like a rebirth. Fisk fell back on Azurian's lap and was satisfied.She bent her head down to him and kissed him gently at first and then harder and deeper. Fisk let it happen and closed his eyes again. Both had finally found happiness.
