《A Dryflame Child's Life (Rewriting)》Return-5

''They want him,Auber'' Said the man with a tired voice.Even at the death's door,his face was calm like a sea.Media was rubbing her eyes with a handkerchief while Auber was half kneeled,listening man's words.''This time,they won't let them live,even your wife.''Auber knitted his brows.He didn't thought that old hags would be this stubborn at that matter.
''I don't know if they are trailing behind me,but soon they will be in here.You need to get the kids to a safe place.''Man was struggling to straighten himself up.Media helped him while Auber stood up and called without turning his back''Boy,Do you remember what i said when you were going out?''Aeneas replied seriously''Yes Father.I have already done the preperations.''Auber's face softened a little bit while saying ''Good''.
He turned his gaze to Media and Media looked him back.''Aeneas is the one who needs to go.I will stay with you two.''With a hard and determined voice told Media.Auber already knew that he couldn't convince his little sister so he let it be.He turned around,walked right in front of Auber and patted his shoulder.''Can i trust you,son?''Aeneas trembled a little but calmed himself soon after.''Even at the cost of my life i wouldn't dare to disappoint you''
Auber smiled,but soon he dropped it and took back his hand.''Go now,don't look back.''Aeneas nodded his head and rushed back towards the other three.By the time he was done with talking,the Middle aged man had already died with his eyes open.Media closed the eyes of the man softly,with a tender move.
She stood up,wiped all the remaining tears from her red eyes and released all the emotions welling in her heart towards the sky with a shrill cry.
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
The whole roof of the house was sent flying to the sky while little parts of it were flying like a bullet,piercing everything in their way.Auber muttered'Using my bloodline,sacrificing my own life and soul,summoning my ancestors' glory,i shall destroy every enemy in my path''
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A bright light flashed from the body of Auber,filling the whole peak of the hill while a pillar of light shot out from his chest.He put his hands in front of his chest and pulled a long,thick pillar.''HAH!''With a shout,he swinged the pillar towards the sky,destroying the whole remnants of the house while hitting the 2 man sent flying with the screech of Media.

Just before Auber's attack hit the 2 man,a Green tornado appeared in front of the 2 man and clashed with the light.Winds were sending the trees around the hill flying while pillar of light was burning them to the point of ashes in matter of seconds.When 2 attacks disappeared,all things left in the once green hill was nothing but a flattened land.
''Where is the boy,Auber?''Asked the man who sent the tornado.He was a dwarf with green,full plate armor.He had a bone halberd twice his size at his back.The other guy with him was a tall human wearin silver silk clothes with a blonde hair.
''I don't know what you are talking about and i don't care about it.''Auber told them with a stern expression,with bloodlust in his eyes.Dwarf was not scared by bloodlust nor the power of him.''We need to make you talk then''Said the dwarf while pulling the halberd at his back.
''You guys are Star mage and Dwarven explorer Sarth,right?''Media asked them.''Who is the guy at your back that dares to offend Dryflames?''Star mage turned his head to look at Media and Said''I don't need to tell it to a dead person,Am ı?''
Media hissed towards the guy and started to grow the hair at her back.Her hair covered the half of the plain that was once a hill.She moved them simultaneously and sent them at the mage with a whipping motion.Star Mage gathered his mana at his hand,with a burning sensation in his palm,and sweeped his hand towards the incoming hair.As he waved his hand a Huge amount of earth moved with it and countless rocks collided with the incoming hairs.But to the Star mage's suprise,The hairs just pierced all the rocks in front of them and continued their way.
Star mage gathered his mana towards his legs and leapt back.The moment he leapt,A blast of yellow energy speeded him up and evaded the mass of hair.But the hair still continued to come at him.He evaded it a few times more and created a earth golem to stall the hairs for him while he was gathering mana to attack.

Media started to fly slowly and sent the remaining countless tendrlis of hair towards Star Mage.With 2 whippings from her hair the golme was utterly destroyed and rubbles were sent flying towards Star Mage.But the moment Earth golem was destroyed Star Mage roared with all his power''DESCEND!'' and A pressure began to materialize in surroundings.Media started to feel a clench at her chest and sweated more and more in cold night air.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked up.A huge mountain was parting the clouds while dropping towards the plains they were in.She took back all the hair she released and her hair became normal once again.At the same time she started to grow her nails and teeth while her skin became paler and paler.After she completed her transformation a huge blast came out of her and her hair and eyes were turned into flames while her nails became deep red.
She stared at the Huge mountain dropping towards her and with a full force blast,Jumped towards air while Gathering huge amounts of mana in her long nails.A huge flaming claw appeared behind her hands and with full power she swinged it at the mountain.
The Dropping mountain was being sliced cleanly by the huge claw when Star mage once more Roared''DESCEND!'' Once more while coughing mouthfuls of blood and trembling.It was clear that burden on his body was great to accomplish this spell.
Before she sliced the first mountain,another one crashed the first one.With the pressure from both mountains Media was crushed beneath first one and crashed towards ground.Before going down Media burnt her whole body with black flames and turned around,sending a humongous flaming ball towards Star Mage.
Time was seemingly slowing down,The flaming ball flying in the sky,Star Mage's Horror written face,Auber's sorrowful shout,Dwarf's angered voice,2 huge mountains up above her,The lonely corpse lying at the ground with a disturbed expression.All seemed clear to Media,who was being crushed by the mountains.She slowly turned back to her normal self,Flames extinguished from her eyes,Her nails got smaller,her skin became more brighter,her hair became black again,and her expression turned peaceful.
Slowly,her face started to crack,little by little.Cracks continued towards her chest,then legs,and at last her feet.Her whole body looked like it would fall down with only one touch.She closed her eyes.All the thoughts were gone from her head.All she had in her mind was the 2 child of her's she left behind.'Your mother is sorry.But ı'm sure you can be safe alongside that boy.''With a last thought,The whole Mountain crashed to ground.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Whole plains cracked like a spider web and countless rubbles sent flying towards everywhere.Mountain created a huge dent at the place it fallen and took both Media and her husband's corpse with it downwards.Earth was being destroyed by the pressure and clouds were cleared from the sky because of the blast.All left was a drop of tear in the ground.
...
Childs were already far,far away from the pale city.Aeneas used his Uncle Truman's special teleport gate to get away from there.Truman was probably now rallying the experts close to him for assisting his father.Just as they were walking past a river,A drop of tear fallen from their eyes,one by one,fusing with the river's and creating a turbulance.
Stella dropped to her knees and started to cry again,Deroc couldn't stand it anymore,he stomped,stomped,stomped and stomped.All while tears were dropping from his eyes.Grim looked at his brother,Who was looking back at him.He nodded towards Aeneas and sit there,waiting for them to empty their emotions,watching them with pained expressions.
As the Moon's light was illuminating the river,Aeneas looked at his face from the reflection.He stood there,Waiting,and enduring the pain while clenching his fists.

The Ancient Tree's Journey
On a planet far away from Earth, an ancient tree lives inside a beautiful forest. When the tree realises that its life is coming to an end, it creates a seed without a soul. The seed begins a long journey, being passed from person to person, until it finally collides with the soul of a girl from Earth and sprouts. With her human knowledge, the girl tries to survive in this world... as a tree. Note: This is my first time writing a novel, so my writing style might be a little rough around the edges sometimes, especially the first twelve are still amateur style. I'll probably rewrite them at some point... later perhaps. Also, the MC will be introduced in chapter 13. The first twelve chapters are more of an introduction to the world, so they bear little significance to the main story. Still, I recommend reading it if you want to get a better view of the world. Chapter releases once every four days.
