Lasta Coop A Planet Without Weather Part Five
The Prophecy
They were thrown into a large and wide prison cell. Lasta saw that there were other Weatherless in the cell with them. They sat down but Lasta remained standing.
"Why are we here? Why are we even being sentenced to death anyway?" Salynara snapped.
"The prophecy spoken by a hooded creep that disappeared shortly after. Some say!" Sang a Weatherless.
"Great, now we have to deal with a crazy person."
"Do you want to hear it? Do you? Do you want to hear it? Do you? Do you? Hey, do you?"
"Just tell us the prophecy. You don't need the rest." Otb said, deadpan.
He looked down and moaned like a child.
"Beware the one that comes from other airs,
Though she is selfish, this one still cries,
By Weatherless King's death,
Brings Weather's first breath!"
"Is that it?" Snapped Salynara. "Is that why we are going to be executed?"
"Yes. He took it very seriously. All who knew or spoke the prophecy he sentenced to death."
"Why? I thought that areas of this universe were too advanced to believe in silly things like prophecy!"
"Yes, well, this hooded creep of a man has been able to make accurate prophecies. Also he has magic of old. But, the thing is, when the king tried to locate him, he seemed to disappear without a trace. Some say that he's still here. Others say that, after he spoke the prophecy, he ran from this planet as fast as he could!"
Salynara raised her eyebrow as her eyes slid to Lasta.
"He sounds like an old man with a long and good education in magic."
"Actually his voice sounded quite young and youthful! Almost like a young man in his twenties. It was also creepy sounding like it was stroking my ears but put all my senses in a panic."
She nodded.
"Well, with all of that said, I would love to stay and chat, however, we have work to do. So, know a way out of this place?"
"Can't you use your magic?"
"No. They put this strange crown on me which cut off my magic from me."
Otb nodded as Lasta looked at it. She looked to the side and saw a cup of water in the Weatherless's hand. She dived to him and took it. She dipped her fight in it and spread it across her forehead. Salynara slapped the back of her hand.
"What are you doing, girl?"
"Getting that crown off you. After all, if I can put water on you then it'll make your skin slippery!"
She frowned as she continued. Soon her water covered her forehead. She then worked on the crown and moved it slowly and carefully. Moving it up, swaying it from left to right. Soon it was off!
"Done!" She said, displaying it.
Salynara looked down at it and then back at her with widened eyes. She smirked, feeling stunned as she wiped the water away.
"You clever girl!" She exclaimed.
Lasta looked away, suddenly feeling shy and uncomfortable.
"Right, time to get out of here."
She turned to the bars and they soon were blown away. She then saw a guard coming their way. She raised her hand and then snakes dived out of her palm. The next moment their fangs dug into his neck. He never got the chance to scream out. She ran ahead. Otb collected the guns as he ran on. He spotted a Weatherless coming to them. He shot at him. He saw another and shot him. While Salynara whacked one with the head of a staff and shot fire at him.
Lasta dived at a gun, just in case they needed it later as one charged at her. She then, instinctively, fired at him. To her utter shock, she hit him in the heart! Her jaw dropped as she felt her hands and body shaking. She breathed in and out as she felt tears start to fall.
"What is wrong, child?"
"I-I-I k-k-killed hi-hi-him!"
He put a hand on her.
"It's alright. That was self defence. It's alright if it's self defence!" The Weatherless said.
She looked down, still unsure.
"R-really?"
"Yes. Now come on!"
She nodded as she ran off after the other two. Soon they ran out and left the prison behind.
