Princesses Cari The Left Pages Of Publove Arc Part Three
The Second Tower
After two days they had finally arrived on the Second page in the
kingdom Kazki where the second tower lay. As they arrived they had
noticed several people look at them but in a blank way that seemed as
if they did not recognise them or could process that they were even
there!
When they stopped the Chronicler flipped open the map as they all
looked at it.
“Looks like the next one's in a cave.” Cari noticed as the
Chronicler became pale.
“What is it?”
“I can not go in there.”
“What? Why?”
Her face became lightly blue almost as if she was about to throw up.
“I just can not. Please just don't make me explain. I just don't
want to talk about it.” she said. Scar looked at her with an
understanding that the others knew that they were too young to
understand.
“Something traumatic happened in that cave, didn't it?”
She looked down and nodded.
“Yes, that was back when I spoke a lot like you but after I closed
a very dark chapter of my life did I start to speak like I do now as
to distance myself from the one that I used to be.” she explained.
“And-”
“Oran, believe me, when it comes to things like this, it's best for
her to reveal it when the time is right for her not when she's
still dealing with whatever it was.”
“Okay!”
The Chronicler looked at her in an empathetic way.
“So, let's go, and Chronicler, make sure you look after Oran and
the unicorns.”
The front unicorn neighed.
“Or you look after them.” Scar quickly corrected.
The front unicorn smirked.
“Well, looks like she's learning.”
“She better be.”
“Why is that?”
“You know why.”
“Look all of you will you quit calling me she?”
“We do have names you know.”
“What are they?”
“Well I'm Shighron, the guy next to me is Nighron, the two behind
are Brenigh and Yamkuro, he's Animagan.”
“Animagneese!”
“Sorry, the one's closest well the tall one's Maruna, the only girl
in the group and the youngest is her little brother Starligh.”
“Again with My Little Pony?”
“Quit reading my mind!”
“No.”
“Alright, let's get this show on the road. After all we all cannot
afford another argument between you seven.”
Scar looked at the Chronicler and nodded. They soon boarded the
carriage and they were off. It was only a moment later when they
arrived. They saw the cave as they stepped out of the carriage with
legs like jelly.
The mouth was beside two trees and covered with moss and fungus. The
cave which was so deep that as you looked into it, it looked like
there was nothing but a void. Below it were a few small flowers
growing beneath it.
“This place looks so beautiful!” Oran exclaimed as she was about
to run but the Chronicler grabbed her hand.
“But keep in mind, this place is quite dangerous for you.” she
said as she looked at her.
“Right, I forgot.”
The older trio nodded.
“Team black unicorn, I'm trusting you!” she said as they entered
the cave.
They walked what felt like for a long time, but they all knew that it
could have been no less than an hour. They soon spotted a dim light.
They knew that they were getting to the place where the tower was.
Scar looked at Cari and spotted a frown.
“What's wrong?” she asked.
She looked at her older red eyed double.
“Nothing.”
“No it's not. I know that look.”
“Let's just say when I'm in darkness I'm reminded of all those
times that I was beaten up as a kid. Not to mention all of those
assassination attempts!” she looked aside with a hint of depression
in them.
“So you were hated too.” Ryo muttered. He then frowned slightly.
“Then why did you do all of what you did to save them?”
“Well even-though I was loathed by my people, I was always loved by
my family, and I loved them in return.” she explained.
“And what about me?” he asked his eyes filled with a. angry
glair.
She smiled as she placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
“I think that I can love you like a brother, just as much as I do
Hikari.” she said as she then thought about it. “No, I know that
I already do. And as for what I did, I can't say how sorry I am.”
Ryo chuckled.
“Alright. I'll accept it, after all during the time I was looking
after Riku, I came to understand you and why you did what you did.”
he said as he placed his hand on her opposing shoulder. They then
turned to Scar.
“What about you? Do you have any siblings?” he asked as they
moved close and closer to the light.
“Well I have two adopted siblings and one biological half-sister
and two biological half-sisters. However I can't say that I'm close
to either right now.” she said with a bitter tone to her voice.
She knew that they were about to ask for more detail but the tower
was ahead. They were about to go in until something pushed them back
and into the walls of the cave. They found themselves looking into
the glowing crimson eyes of a creature made of shadow.
“What the hell is that?”
“It's a shadow.”
The shadow's shadow soon grew into their chest and they all started
coughing. Ryo then closed his eyes and used his magic to push the
shadow creature away. And they fell down.
“Seriously, what the actual hell is that?” she asked.
“I already told you it's a shadow.”
“Well what kind of shadow is that then?”
Suddenly Scar rose above them and was thrown across the chamber and
into the wall of the tower. She soon felt both pain and shock ripple
rapidly throughout her body.
“Scar!”
“Car'! We've got to get rid of this shadow!” Ryo shouted. She
looked over at Scar. “Look, once we destroy the shadow the tower
will cease to exist, you must know that?”
“Yes, right.” she said as she closed her eyes and raised her arm
parallel to her younger half-brothers. She dug deep into herself and
used her magic to release a beam of light. This enveloped the
creature. Soon it was no more and the tower faded from existence.
“Why did the tower fade?”
“Because that was what the shadow was tied to. It''s a protective
shadow.” she said.
“My back...” she said as she tried to get up she found she could
not feel her legs. “My legs...”
Ryo picked her up.
“The unicorns can deal with that.”
They soon left the cave.
“One of you-”
“No need.” said Shighron as he placed his horn on her back. Soon
she felt a warming fire throughout her body. She also felt the most
piece that she never knew that she could feel. She wanted to feel
like this forever but she was soon pulled out and back to reality.
She was able to stand.
