Tales Of The Supremes 18 By Your Will

She began to recite an incantation. The asterisk symbol on her wrist illuminated. As her incantation goes on, another asterisk emerged, and another until there were five in total.

She called her bow. Stretching its string, an arrow was formed, made by pure energy of hers. She shot it locking the giant hawk's head.

The arrow hit the enemy leaving a web-like crack to its head that spread across its body in a visible speed.

She began to recite another incantation and she performed an unfamiliar hand gesture. As she did so, a blue light circle was formed under her. She gracefully pushed her hand forward and the circle under her spread pa.s.sing through everything, with life or not.

Beasts fall dead.

She recited another incantation and formed a green light circle. Spreading across the land, those injured had been heal completely.

The lady exhaled slowly, keeping her cool.

Lowering her head, she saw a young man beside a masculine middle-age man. Slowly and gracefully, she descended in front of the young man keeping a distance from the ground.

Words were stuck to the father and son's throat.

"Are...are you a Guardian?" With a trembling voice, Datu Agueo asked.

"Yes, I am!" A warm voice rung to his ears as the guardian replied.

"Tha...thank you for helping us!" The Datu bowed as he half-knelt down. Abdula did the same thing. The others followed.

Simultaneous thud resounded in the entire place. In just a second, all warriors can be seen kneeling like a knight acknowledging their king.

"No need to thank me! This young man was the one who called me!" Tala said. "Please, all of you rise!"

The warriors were confused about what to do.

How can they just stand up knowing a guardian was in front of them, but they eventually stood up when Datu Agueo takes the initiative to stand up.

"I'm the Head of this tribe. Datu Agueo pays respect to a guardian! If there is anything we can do, please tell us," the Datu said with high respect.

"It's okay. As I said, this young man was the one who called me!" Tala waved her left hand and a thumb-sized sphere of light formed in front of her. It flew towards Abdula's right shoulder. She continued, "Your will can bring us together again. It is up to you!"

Abdula emitted golden light as the sphere made its way inside his body and two intertwined swords forming x symbol marked to his right shoulder.

Tala activated her Holy Eagle Sight. It just takes her a second to find a suitable beast for Abdula. For Abdula wasn't that strong for the time being, he needed protection.

Just near distance, she saw familiar energy. She then extended her vision and saw a silhouette of a man in his twenties. 'What a coincidence.'

A moment later, a beast was beside Tala. "This will be your beast. He will take care of you from now on!" Tala patted the beast. The beast walked near to Abdula and it rubbed its head to Abdula's side as in acknowledging his master.

"Tha....that is the king of the shallow forest. The yellow lion!" One of the elders exclaimed. The shallow forest was located opposite of the forest ebony. It was 1000 meters away from them.

'How did she do it?' This was the words they thought.

"I will take my leave now." Tala was going to leave when she heard a voice saying, "My name is Abdula!"

"I know!" Tala said with a smile. When she gave the marking to him, the name about the young man appeared to her mind.

"May I know your name?" Abdula asked. Although puzzled on how the guardian knew his name, he didn't voice out his curiosity.

"I am Guardian Tala," Tala remarked. She flew away as an only streak of light visible.

Abdula saw Tala disappeared in a second.

...

Seeing the disappearance of light from afar, a young man sighed in melancholy.

"I was way too late." he murmured disappointingly. This young man was the one Tala saw earlier.

He feebly leaned his back to a tree beside him.

Earlier, he felt powerful energy descended from the sky. He wanted to know the origin of the powerful energy, so he decided to follow the light.

Powerful energy came rus.h.i.+ng in an unimaginable speed. His jaw dropped in disbelief. He did not antic.i.p.ate that the owner of the energy was a guardian, a real one.

Guardians have their unique golden wings. The golden wings that only they can have.

"Prince Makisig pays respect to the great guardian!" He hurriedly knelt down like a knight and bowed his head. 'I thought I lost the opportunity to see a guardian.'

Tala laughed at him. Makisig wanted to lift his head to spectate what's going on, but he suppressed this feeling.

"You haven't changed at all!" Tala stated. She was also called great guardian by Makisig of their first meeting in her previous life. He was one of the humans who aid her greatly.

Makisig stared at the ground in puzzlement.

"I'm guardian Tala. You can rise now!" Tala smiled.

Makisig excited and surprised feeling was shown all over his face.

'He's handsome even when he was this young.' Tala thought.

"I have a favor to ask," Tala said emotionless.

"A.. a..nything if... i..it is within my means!" Makisig stutteringly replied. Who would deny a guardian request?

Tala pointed the direction of where she first came through her deep blue eyes, "I bet you know what to do!"

Makisig looked at the place where the Guardian pointed out. It was where he planned of going earlier.

"Yes. I will take care of it!" Makisig replied.

Tala waved her left hand and a thumb-sized sphere of light flew towards Makisig. He emitted golden light. A moment later, it vanished.

Makisig's eyes widen. His energy became purer as the golden energy sipped through his pores.

"Your will can bring us together again. It is up to you!" Tala remarked.

"I will take my leave now!" Tala disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Makisig thought of finding any traces of the guardian, but he eventually tossed out the idea for he knows that it was impossible. So, he decided to head to the White cloud tribe.

Walls were nowhere to be seen.

Houses were destroyed.

A lot of dead beasts were lying on the cold ground.

Makisig was bewildered as he saw no external injuries to the dead beasts.

A group of people walked towards him.

...

Abdula, Datu Agueo, the elders and the warriors came back to their senses. Datu Agueo hurriedly looked at Abdula's right arm. An x-swords symbol was marked on Abdula's arm.

"Do you feel changes in your body?" The Datu asked. The elders and the others around also were curious, so they looked intently to Abdula.

"A little bit rise of my energy," Abdula replied.

Abdula surged his energy, and a powerful might of a warrior burst out.

"UH!" Abdula was surprised. 'I am now a warrior?' He thought unbelievably. Just a moment ago, he doesn't even have the slightest feeling of breaking through. He hurriedly dived to his conscious.

Inside, a pearl-like ball with a pure l.u.s.ter of energy illuminated the whole surrounding of his consciousness. A sign of breaking through a warrior.

"There's someone coming," he said grimly.

He felt powerful energy das.h.i.+ng towards them. Because of the presence of the pure energy of the guardian, Abdula senses became sharper.

Abdula runs towards the northern gate. The Datu and others followed suit.

The Datu's widen his eyes feeling the powerful energy as they came near. Just earlier, he didn't feel anything, so he unconsciously gazed towards his son.

"Who are you?" The Datu asked as he confronts the young man while blocking Abdula who wanted to approach the young man. He was warry for he feels powerful energy coming from the young man.

"There's no need to be wary. He emitted the energy of Guardian Tala." Abdula unhurriedly approached the young man.

Makisig was surprised by Abdula's words. 'The golden light already vanished, how can he tell?' He thought.

"I am Abdula, the son of Datu Agueo of the White Cloud Tribe!" He introduced himself.
