soared down five hundred yards for ten seconds before curing down again into the archway where the mountains of gold were.

The water poured inches away from the surfing rock, which had Marina, Flavius, Galvin, and Wonomi barely hanging on to it. The Water Dragon broke through the archway, just trailing behind the group on the flying rock they were on and magically attached to Vaeludar’s tail.

And boulders fell from the ceiling above and the mountains of gold exploded in a fiery blaze that nearly burned Vaeludar and his companions sitting on the flying rock.

As he finally drew closer to the exit they all entered from, the Water Dragon barely snapped at the surfing rock that was magically attached to Vaeludar’s tail, with his companions screaming loudly. He drew out the Crystal Sword and flew back, passing the rock and the rock passing him flying toward the cave’s entrance.

Vaeludar scratched the Water Dragon’s left eye with the glowing blade, which made the Dragon growl. Vaeludar quickly flew back but hordes of rocks fell from above him and his companions.

Darkness stirred. Water was pouring. Rocks were falling.

There was no time to spare for him. Vaeludar quickly flew to the flying rock and attached his tail with his tail’s arrowhead end and pushed the rock and his companions towards the feet away exit. Vaeludar was busy doing a few things at once, he couldn’t think of what to do next.

Then The Water Dragon retreated into the water drowning the cave. Then a second Dragon emerged to take the Water Dragon’s place. In quick pound on a rock and a bite taking to Vaeludar’s tail, the Dragon brought darkness to the entire cave and sealed the cave’s only entrance and exit with a sheer amount of rocks blocking.

The surfing rock fell with but Marina, Wonomi, Flavius, and Galvin heavily jumped just as an endless number of rocks blocked the cave’s entrance.

They had made it out, just as the falling rocks had collapsed the entrance behind them. They were alive and breathing, overjoyed to be alive.

Panting heavily, they laid on the ground.

“You made it back,” said Charity. The White Knight was happy to see them return safe without any flesh wounds or bite marks.

They remained silent for seconds from the horrifying experience they just encounter. They jumped for joy that they had made it out. They cheered and hugged and congratulated each other.

“Are we glad to have that hybrid for saving our lives and completing the mission we were sent on,” said Galvin. He looked around and took great notice something was amiss. “Where… where is that guy?”

All of a sudden, they stopped breathing and looked around; Vaeludar was nowhere in sight. They looked in deep terror and horrified that Vaeludar wasn’t there.

“What? No. No! NO!” cried Marina. Marina was the most horrified one there and felt a deep heart attack. She came with a thought that Vaeludar was inside the collapsed cave, which the entrance was piled with rocks.

She ran towards the rock-filed cave and removed some rocks out of the way. A few rocks fell and her eyes caught something shining buried in the rubble: a shining hilt. Marina pulled it out and she held the Crystal Sword, without the scabbard or its holder to be seen.

“NO!”

She tumbled to her knees, filled with tears.

Much to her sorrow, horror, and realization, Vaeludar was buried in the cave, along with the arm armor he was carrying.

A GREAT LOSS

M

arina was severely consumed with grieve. The one, who rescued her five years and whom loved, was buried in the cave. She kept calling his name but no avail. She, a Siren with the heart whose was like a Unicorn, couldn’t accept Vaeludar was gone. She dropped the Crystal Sword she couldn’t afford to hold.

The men around her could hear her crying loudly and stood beside her. It was no secret to show their love to another person. From their perspective, love between two different species was considered to be unnatural to the forces of nature. But what was to stop two different individuals from loving each other?

Love was greatly considered to be a gift from the gods, where two different people from two different worlds come together and proclaim their eternal spiritual bonding. Marina was a lover to Vaeludar, and she didn’t care if he was a hybrid of Vaeludar may have been or could have been. She didn’t love his appearance; she loved Vaeludar’s personality.

Vaeludar’s appearance defined of what he was, and his personality defined of who he was. Marina loved more of the who Vaeludar was than of what he was. Apparently, she would never have a future with him.

Flavius strolled over to the one sword Marina dropped and stood up with it. Now he was carrying the legendary blade Vaeludar had held in his own two hands. A magic weapon founded by Vaeludar was now in Flavius’s hands.

At first, when he tried to hold it, the sword was heavy. After a few short seconds, he lifted it with one hand. As Flavius was holding it, the blade had suddenly become old and rusty and lost its bright glow.

“Vaeludar,” he gasped. “You were powerful, but you couldn’t save yourself from a collapsing cave. Now I can’t believe you are gone. And you gave your life to save us, but only you have the power to potentially wipe out evil.”

Flavius had dropped the sword as he couldn’t bear the thought of losing Vaeludar. He fought back tears dripping from his eyes. Who he called a true brother, best friend and rival, and a hybrid he highly respected was buried beneath a roof of heavy rocks. He knew Vaeludar had strong skin as armor, but having that much weight of thousands or millions of boulders on top of him was something Flavius would think Vaeludar wouldn’t survive in.

Then Flavius grew angry and darted for Wonomi as he shouted,
