Chapter 130: Calm Tides, Thuderous Waves; The Trial Of Water Begins

Darius carried Lena to her room; she had fallen asleep on the couch playing with Michael.

Placing her on the bed, he gave her a kiss on her forehead. Looking at the one person who pushed him to get stronger or lose her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He couldn’t help but smile.

’She really is your anchor.’

Azree chimed in; Darius’s mind was at peace, and he could think straight.

"Hmm, she’s the main reason why I even started to use the powers." Darius smiled, scratching his head.

"Left to me, I would still be oblivious to what I could do."

’She was the one who made you take the first leap of faith, and since then you have been doing things that no one can imagine a mortal doing.’

Azree added, his voice laced with an unfamiliar tone of pride. It was soothing for Darius the first time he heard something like this from Azree.

"Yeah, now I have more people to protect and make sure I would be able to handle whatever would come our way."

Darius looked at his hand; he was forever ready for whatever would be coming his way, and there would be no way for him to avoid it.

Clenching his fist, the young warrior knew that he was going to be facing any beast soon. It was only a matter of time before he would have to take care of another trial.

"I just need to—"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, darkness...

Darius looked around; he wasn’t scared. He had been here before, and he knew why he was called here.

"Darn Dragon Kings..."

He cursed under his breath; the next thing he felt was a calm but fierce mana wave. He turned to look at what caused it; he was trying to put his head together and see if he would understand what he was seeing.

In front of him stood a statue-like being; its aura alone was divine. Looking at it, Darius could see an endless ocean, calm but filled with uncertainty.

"So you’re the dragon king of water. I thought I would see the others." Darius smiled, mocking the divine being, trying not to reveal his fear.

"Insolent child, you will soon be cut down, reduced to nothing but the dust you are."

It sounded feminine, but her voice felt like the thunderous waves of a million seas.

Darius was intimidated, looking at the being. He knew that there was no running if she decided to attack.

"You are the problem we have, you and evil power growing within you..." The being pointed at Darius; he could feel her wrath.

"My champion will strike you down, no matter what it takes."

Darius chuckled. He looked back at the being. He didn’t know how strong the champion was, but he was sure that there was nothing going to let him lose.

"I don’t care what you are going to throw at me." He smiled; he then pointed at the being. "I am going to throw it back, so why don’t you get ready to lose?"

The entire realm began shaking, and Darius turned to see another being. From its shape and angle, Darius knew it was a female.

"Anyone who speaks to My Lady Thalryia in such an ugly manner will fall."

Darius turned to her, sticking out his tongue.

"I don’t care what you call her, Thalring or Thalong. I will make sure I leave the message there for you all to see."

"Child of Chaos!" Thalryia spoke, and Darius turned to look at her.

"You shall drown in the Trial of Water!"

Darius pointed at the being, smiling like he was ready for anything that would come his way.

"Bring it, Thalbones!"

A powerful wave of mana pushed Darius out of the dark realm; he found himself back in Lena’s room.

He let out a sigh of relief, sitting on the floor. There was no way for him to even win them, but he knew that his standing his ground in the face of threats was really important.

"Trial of water, eh?" He looked up, trying to get his head out of the clouds. He knew what he needed to do if he didn’t tread with care.

"I need to train with Pryion; I will be needing to control my flames for this."

’Seems like you’ve met Thalryia.’ Azree spoke up.

"Yes, she felt different from what I expected a dragon king to feel like." Darius couldn’t shake the feeling he got from her away that easily.

He wasn’t scared of facing her, but the fact that she felt like calm waters made it even scarier.

’She is one of the strongest forces they have; her ability to be one with the sea is a terrifying one but then you would need to keep your head above water.’

Darius looked up; he knew that there was no way for him to avoid the trial or even leave it.

So he had to do something to make sure that he was going to stay alive.

"I wont lose..." He clenched his fists, looking at his right hand as the water tattoo took form.

"I promise!"

"Darius?!"

Theo was calling him from the living room, his voice brought Darius bsck to reality.

"I will be there!"

He got up from the ground, about to walk out of the room when he felt something else.

’The Second Trial is about to begin, the children of the abyss stir, and the forgotten ones are uneasy...The answers you seek are in the hidden scrolls of knowledge...’

A voice rang out in his head and it wasn’t Azree, trying to wrap his head around what was going on.

"What is this now?"

He was looking around, his mind uneasy as he tried to get things done.

He looked up, knowing that he couldn’t let his comrades know what he was facing, at least not yet. He needed to make sure that they would be okay.

Shaking his head, he walked out to the living room.

Theo and Michael were trying to prepare something like a design, and Raya was taking the dishes they used to the kitchen.

Darius stood there, his heart a bit moved; he clenched his fists, looking at them.

"I have to protect them from whatever is coming, at all costs."
