The dark lines was getting closer and closer and the view of it turning larger and larger. The Linards Mountain was drawing closer with each isle being crossed at each hour or particularly, minutes. Echoes of the isle rumbling and coming off sounded behind them as it was one step away from splitting their own isle into two various halves. Now that they were drawing closer to their target, Blake was now starting to have a high hope that they would not perish on the isle. The isle might be destroyed but not the Mountain. The creature wasn't that big to be able to destroy even mountains so his calculations were that, it would be able to destroy other things, creatures even hovering isles.. but it cannot destroy the Linards Mountain.
The Linards Mountain was coupled by a brief history of a hidden being. This hidden being was known as a [Recoperating Spirit] and this spirit was one of the first resemblance of a fallen god. It got its tittle sooner or later called [Indigen of the dark] and now its hidden agenda surfaced. The hidden being was being given a chance toake a certain wish because, even the gods are able to recognize their own kind.. but the hidden being instantly wished for a tall Mountain to emerge deep from within the wnds of the earth and he also stated that the Mountains would be used to imprison gods with no way of getting their desired freedom. The gods were not happy with his wish but knowing that a promise sealed with an oath is to be fufilled no matter what, they granted the wish and the Linards Mountain instantly came to existence.
Its curse still lingered and anyone who has a link with the gods as per lineage is bound to be trapped there and be called slaves but unless, the way to freedom is seeked, will there by a gate.
Blake knew that this was the second to last isle to cross and once they get to the last then, they would be able to get to the Linards Mountain without fearing to be destroyed.
Right now, their lives were at risk. Adding up the dangers, it wasn't the awakening creature that would even kill them, it was it's destruction. For the fact that the isle were being reduced to granules before the creature's terrifying paw, and then falling over the dark expanse would instantly spell their doom. They haven't seen any abominations yet but that doesn't mean that the future promised to be so promising. They were still on high alert.
Blake stared at the Mountain and then the isle which was becoming visible. It was the last isle, which means that, they were reaching the end of this one. Was it so easy? The only thing was for them to cross over which would require them to run a spell.
Nonchalantly, Evie stood at the edge of the isle. She opened her palm and several scars of fresh wounds were showing. They have constantly been using the spell Tera started to cross isle to isle that their wrists down to their hand was now ebbed with wounds which seems not to be healing at all.
Seeing her both wrists covered in bruises, Evie had to comment.
"Blake, can't you be a little bit caring for once?"
She showed him her injuries which seems to have been inflicted almost everywhere around her hand that it was as if there was no more room to slice her wrist and Blake without any feeling of pity tched.
"Evie, you know what?"
"What?" Evie grumbled.
"A good and caring witch like you would proceed to working the magic instead of looking back like you are doing right now."
Blake said and Evie frowned.
"You mean, I should keep cutting myself when we have all of the needed blood in you."
Evie stated making Blake to gasp. He would not allow himself to be sliced, no way.
'What a looser'
Blake's expression turned dark and added.
"Get to work Evie, the goddess of light blesses one for their good work don't she?"
Evie didn't respond to him and she turned to face the edge as she proceeded to start the magic.
All of a sudden, a shockwave ruptured the isle and Evie lost her balance.
'What just happened?'
The question was quick. They were so engrossed in their dialogue that they forgot that they were supposed to be at the other isle by now.
'What soccery is this?'
'Fuck bloody haters!!'
Evie who lost her balance was the one at the end of the isle and it was not good.
The whole isle was suddenly splitting in clean halves. The other end of the isle shattered as if being freed from the suspended magic holding it and pack of the sand came flooding up and the spreading around. While the other half was mysteriouly still holding.
Blake saw Evie falling and in ome swift motion, he caught her hand, preventing her from going below the isle. Her body now dangled over, while Blake lay on his stomach with him not performing any action. He realised that if he try to stand up, Evie's weight might take him along with her below, so his best option was to remain lying. But if he keeps lying on the floor, eventually the isle would collapse too and all three of them would fall to tjeir doom.
Did Blake suddenly forget that all it takes is one distraction to completely end them. So now, Blake was feeling that his action needed a really good punishment but not death at least. He need to survive, the girls too.
"Pull me Blake, what are you doing?"
Evie snapped staring at the dark expanse below her right now and she gritted her teeth. Their palm linked together was growing sweaty and slippery and a cold expression appeared on Evie's face.
"You seem like you don't appreciate one's help."
Blake snapped back but Evie didn't respond. Blake seemed to be in disarray right now, his arms were stretching and groaning. It was sweaty and slippery. His bones weren't resillient enough to hold neighter was his palm stark enough and he was slowly loosing Evie's hold. Suddenly Evie sneered because she felt his hold on her decrese.
"Seems like you are doing your best."
Blake knew that, that words were to mock him right now but he didn't mind. He needs to find a way to get Evie out now if not... ah! He did not even want to say what would happen if Evie happens to fall in.
Suddenly, the isle convulsed one last time and then, shot up as if the pressure submerging it below was way to strong only for shards of sand and dust to go flying in the air. Blake felt it. The hard ground he lay on suddenly disintergrated and he seems to be laying on the air and his wait started bringing them down. But just before the trio would descend fully, a dark all of energy engulfed them. Inside the dark ball, sparkles and shades of silver dispersed all over.
Evie and Blake landed on a flat edge of the ball and Blake was utterly confused. One minute, they were falling below and the next minute, they landed on a flat surface. And then, the answer to his question came because, Tera stood far away from them almost at the center of the ball. Her whole body was glowing so intensely. She was the one who chanelled the dark ball and Evie stared at her through her locks which poured covering her vision only but slightly.
"She's using the dark witches magic." Evie realised, even Blake was stunned for a while as they watched Tera, who looked to be groaning intensely. Her powers were pulsating. She is commanding the ball which obediently moved from its position over the dark expanse to land on the next isle and the instance the ball touched the ground, its light disintegrated and Tera feel limp on the floor.
She just saved them.
"Tera," Evie screamed her name as she ran to meet her. Grabbing her arms which lay lax as it was so exerted, Evie sighed in relieve. There were magic one would perform and once it is done, the person ends up dieing because this magic takes everything the soul and the body. Its like sacrificing everything so Evie thought that's what Tera did only to see her chest rising and falling betraying that she was dead.
The goodnews right now is that the Linards Mountain is only a few steps away and the badnews is that, right now the creature is fully awakened. The last isle was bits of its body part and once it rises, this isle would explode in a smash because not only is it obstructing the suspended magic, it is also disembedding the gravitational force which would lead to the isle exploding. Tera couldn't even walk and that was another problem. They had to leave and do it fast. So Tera was guided to walk, her hands across their both shoulders and then the walked on. Considerably slow.
Finally, they got to Linards Mountain. Blake stared at the draconian peaks of the Linards Mountain that towered above the isle, submerging it into the their vast deep shadows. They were shrouded in white mist that flowed slowly down the dark slopes and fell into the dark black abyss of the sky below like an endless wall of white swirrling clouds. The image of it was both magnificent and frightening. It was as though the sky itself was slowly being devoured by the lightless void... or maybe invading it.
The isle suddenly shuddered and they knew that they have no time left to admire the Mountain. They both lifted Tera and in no time, they were in one of the Mountain's slope which ended in a dark cave. But still in that dark cave, they seem to be an eternal lamp that has been burning for centuries now which suddenly felt intriquing because its lampholders hasn't been touched before by anyone except gods... Blake wanted to touch it and see how it would react. But, Tera needs rest right now. Adequate one at that so that would be kept for later's finding.
Meanwhile outside the Mountain's crater, the whole place in the outside world came to view. Blake noticed the the spikes rising from the dept and then, wnen it struck the last isle, everything went up in rains of sand as if the isle was just an ordinary sand paper.
A mighty, gargantuan creature emerged from the dept. It was like 120 kilometre long and then had a vast body protruding deep with armour plates and thick versatile scales. Nothing scare him more than just Standing and staring at the calamity before him. With a grim expression on his face, he turned back and headed into the cave and there Evie sat with Tera who's head leaned on the wall as she tried to take a rest.

After a couple of hours passed by, the sun was beginning to set in the east as it depicts the agenda for the forbidden law of [Backward Ichist] the backward ichist was the last man standing as a formiddable immortal which was elated by the gods. His most powerful aspect ability was the power to turn thing on reverse or should I say that, they were created backwards...
The movement of nature slightly changed and now this was the happening going on till date. There might be a stop to it, but no was able to figure it out, not now.
The sky was now radiating with purple and crimson shade, depicting its floral brimmer and the tell of the oncoming night. The Fallen Calamity [Hawk of Doom] was slowly falling back into its deep slumber once again. It really had such a long day destroying and snacking on abominations while satiating its hunger that held it for twenty years. Instantly, the fallen calamity [Hawk of Doom] turned its head to face the hollow part of the mountain ebbed in a downward slope. Blake froze immediately realising that the creature was looking his way. It's head was so scary and had a protruding mass of dark horns and insidous spikes forming. A scaly scalp covering its skin in a texture of a touch chitin. Its eyes were scarlette in color and obvious burning precisely with madness.
Have it seen him?
Well, if it had then it might want to destroy the mountain.
The creature opened its maw and a terrifying shriel and stressing growl resounded as if it was a very loud high pitched scream. The tail of the creature raised instantly and shook the Linards Mountain just metres away from him, and pieces of the mountain shards rained down in a swift motion. Blake was mysteriously taken aback by the force of the clash and he rolled downwards to avoid coming down along with the debris and he rolled all the way back into the cave and was pushed against the wall jolting the witches who lay asleep on their back. The cave suddenly shook, but they knew too well, that the Linards Mountains cannot be destroyed but still, its ravendous clashing still penetrated deep into the cave and the candle light which had been burning for centuries, started to bounce out of its position on the short wooden table. And then, it toppled and landed on the dark circular platform which looked like a bizzaire alter and the next minute, a whoosing flames was sent above. The alter was set with an essentries whereby immaculate gateway is formed. Like a runes or an assimilating portal but right now, the alter seemed to be burning high up on flames.
'What the...'
The eerie looking flames danced in dark red and blue lights promising to kill its captive. Right now, it was as if the burning flames have a mind of its own because, when the trio decided that their next move was to leave the cave, the flames suddenly circled around them. And within minutes, high flames sealed the entrance and Blake's eyes widened.
"I think I know what's happening.." Blake started.
"What, how do we get out of here?" Evie asked.
"I think we angered the Fire god." Blake said and Evie sighed.
"So, this was the Fire gods alter? Who would leave such a sacred place so exposed." Tera asked.
"Did you not see the flames burning in that lamp, it was the eternal flames. The eternal flame is quite tricky because I really did not know that it was the Fire god, but the moment the flames got up, I discovered. Now it wants to punish us for awakening it." Blake said as he pondered what to do to save the situation right now.
"When did we awaken it?"
Evie screamed and Blake stared for a while at the lamp which lay motionlessly.
"We didn't. The Fallen Calamity did. It only punished us because he couldn't unleash its anger on the creature." Blake answered though, he wasn't sure if his theology was wrong but he had a haunch it could be related. What ever he was missing would definitely come to be revealed sooner or real.
The flames suddenly surged wildly and the entire place began to radiate with intense heat. The primitive heat was enough to cook an entire nation and Tera's hand suddenly glimmered with silver only to be stopped by Evie. She had always had that mentality, the first solution to every problem was to use their magic. But seems like Evie was well experienced than her when it comes to realising that some times, magic isn't relevant.
"gods are supersensitive to magic. You might anger them even more if discovered."
The lights quickly vanished after listening to Evie's spleen advice as they turned to look at Blake. Right now, he looked calm but stil had that expression of a grim reaper and then he turned to face Evie.
"Evie, get the lamp burning."
Evie's eyes strailed to the lampholder that looked like a small can of opelette makeshift. The scapold lamp and then stared at the weaves which protruded out of a clear hole and then she picked it up.
Thrusting her hand forward, the weaves collected the light which danced fiercly like an angry god that it is.
Handing the lamp to Blake, he took it and turned to face the wall of flames shooting up like a chalrad of evil and then, he gently took a short dagger from his pouch and then sliced his hand deep that the blood started to roll down like a flowing fountain. Blake had realised that, gods do take pleasure in surprise sacrifice and that was why he decided to give it a sacrifice of his blood. Any other sacrifice is good but the blood sacrifice of a human is quite effective so Blake had no other option, that's if they have to leave the cave in full. Blake made sure that his blood touched the flames and within minutes, the flames shot out and started to deavour the remaining pool of blood greedily. It was gone, as if it disipitated into nothingness. Luckily, the fire started to decrease, its intensity growing weaker and weaker. Their sacrifice have been accepted and their sins forgiven, although they think that they really did not do anything to awaken the Fire god, or is it Blake? Because, right about then, he was the one who called the creature's attention of the creature to the Mountain. Oh, so the Fire god was indeed right because, he really did awaken it. The gods are never wrong. In no time, the fire was completely gone as if it was never there. The hot air was now instantly compiled with cold chilly air which permeated the deep confines of the cave and then, Blake gently placed the burning lamp back on the wooden table. The essenties-like gateway now visible but, there was no powering runes or energy to activate the gateway so there was no freedom right now. The immediately exited the cave without wasting any time.
The night was full and young, the creature was gone, seemingly asleep and all that could be seen was an eerie thick and dark expanse. They couldn't cross isles back because it has been destroyed. But at least, freedom presented itself right in the Vile Castle which they really needed to locate. Immediately, they started moving around the slope, avoiding the parts the creature had pierced and almost destroyed. And then, going on to climb the mountain.
The Linards Mountain was well shaped and narrowly ardous which gave them easy climbing because, slabs shot out on the body of the mountain which they hold onto while trying to climb.
