First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse-Chapter 15 The Triple Full Moons -Part 2

The second Isiah regained consciousness, he thought that he was still in the basement until he felt an air breeze in his hair.

He felt the ground very hard under his body, then his fingers reached for the grass and he eventually ended up making a fist.

It was the pain mixed with fear of the reality he woke up to.

Something was different, and that's why he opened his eyes immediately, and the urge to cough started, for once he sat and started to cough like he was suffocated by the amount of smoke he inhaled. After a minute he opened his eyes with pain and started to look around him.

He was outside his home, now… He has a full view of what was happening there.

That fear and confusion stayed with Him.

The sky was dark but with a purple hue announcing the opening of the portals to the world beyond.

In history, they taught them what happened outside their houses that night, no one ever dared to go outside like he was right now.

Isiah was terrified when he found himself outside, like dying in the fire was a good thing compared to that.

He stood right away and went closer to the house, now he remembered his parents.

Something in him tried to just save himself and run away, he remembered every single mistreatment they gave him just because his brother ended the world, it is their fault but somehow they blamed him.

For a minute he just didn't move and instead stayed there motionless thinking of the possibilities, he wanted to leave them there and he wanted them out too…

He was confused but when he coughed for the last time he couldn't shake his thoughts.

He walked towards the house only to see their bodies laying on the ground. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

He ran towards them as if his life depended on it, he leaned towards his mother first and found her breathing unconsciously and the same was happening to his father, something was not normal.

Isiah then noticed a yellow circle above his parents' body, each of them had a circle above them, he recognized the same runes that Ethyl used when she helped him out that day, he then started to look around, she must be close he thought, a few meters away from him there stood a girl in the front of his house.

She was focusing on doing something he couldn't recognize. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Isiah ran towards her impatiently, he was still dizzy because of the quantity of smoke he inhaled.

Yet he managed to reach her faster than he thought, she was waving her hands in the air, while a yellow circle was composed in front of her, and different runes were written inside of it.

"What are you ….y….yo…you …doing here? What happened to us? Did you burn our …house to the ground ….you threatened me the other day ….I … " , Isiah was tormented by how weak he must have looked to her.

"Sit down, you little…weak..boy, I want to burn this house for sure, don't tempt me too", Ethyl replied with a pissed face.

"You …threatened me the other ..day", Isiah couldn't finish that sentence and fell to the ground, that must be one of the consequences of being stuck in that fire.

At that moment Ethyl said calmly without even looking at him: "With this weak body you want to avenge me, you pathetic little shit " .

She was still doing that spell, the yellow circle then started to move away from her and to widen till it reached the size of the house, it was then placed upon the house:" WATER", she said with a steady face.

Then water started to flood from that circle, a huge amount of water that in other cases could make a flood, she was that strong.

She left the yellow circle doing the job and she started to move towards him.

Isiah's eyes were captivated by that look, she was indeed different, she had powers that went beyond imagination, her calmness in this situation, and even more her strong independent attitude.

Ethyl was looking like a goddess in his eyes, and he was like a wounded bird.

He closed his eyes the moment she leaned towards him and said:" I will be that strong Ethyl"

It was the first time he said her name in that way, his voice cracked leaving him all embarrassed by the situation.

"You can't be this strong, because you are banned from being a mage !", Ethyl said teasing him .

"So, why are you here, to help me ? I can't think of a reasonable reason for you to do such a thing !".

"I came here with a thought in mind, I wanted to grab your ass out here for once just to see what it looks like, the horrible night, I wanted you to have the first seat to watch the triple full moon, the mess your brother created …"

" And …why are you trying to …help?"

"I wanted to torture you mentally ..but it seems that you have a lot of enemies "

"Why?"

"Do you think this fire is caused by monsters !"

"If it wasn't you …isn't that obvious"

" I found some people here, they were like a dozen, I know them, some of them are your colleagues, some of them are you, neighbours, they were gathering just when the moons lined up…they wanted to lock you down there till you burn, they were too afraid to watch that so they left after burning the house by few minutes, "

"I know they hate us …but this is …This ...This is outrageous!"

"Basically, I don't blame them …they were doing the same thing your traitor brother did years ago…but ..to take you by surprise like that is a thing only cowards do".

Isiah gazed at the picture of the house burning, everything turned to ashes …they are very lucky to have Ethyl here, without her they would have almost died.
