Elemental Beginnings Part: 13

After seeing what happened to his people, Ruin set off to find the Dark Elementals. This wouldn't be an easy task, however. He had no idea where to actually look. "Clover, my mother said that Dark Elementals were responsible for Null Village's demise. But..This is the first time of me actually hearing of them. Do you have any idea of where they could be?", Ruin asked. Clover pondered this for a bit. "I've only heard stories of these fiends from my father. Supposedly, these Elementals enjoy causing mischief, and doing other unfathomable things. The Light Elementals took it upon themselves to confine them in a valley, named The Valley of Shadows now. Tired from battle, they used the rest of their energy to seal the opening, preventing them from ever leaving. But...It sounds like it has broken", he replied. "So they're loose once more.. This is most troubling", Aquaria said, a quiver in her voice. Emby sparked. "Those guys are gonna pay for what they did! Lemme at em'!". Ruin sat down. Where was the Valley of Shadows, anyway??? Clover looked at the sky. "Well, if we only could ask the Light Elementals directly, this wouldn't be a problem. Haaaa, however, one does not just walk up to someone of their calibur. We'll have to find it ourselves".

Just then, a cat, the same cat that had helped them out before had came by. " *Purr* Hello friends, why the long faces?", it asked. "! It's you again! Hey!", Ruin exclaimed, hopping to his feet. "Yes yes, good to see you too", it purred happily. "Well, that strange. How in the world how did you learn to speak?", Clover asked. The cat tilted its head. "If you listen to people long enough, you get it too, you know. But enough about me. What are you guys doing?", it answered. Ruin then told it about all the event as that transpired while he was away. The cat nodded, and froze for a second at hearing about the Dark Elementals return. "I see... So then it's true after all...", it meowed. "Huh? What's true?', Aquaria asked. "Nothing in purr-ticular, Water Elemental. But from what I understand, you want to make it to the Valley of Shadows, correct? I know the way..", the cat replied. "Really??? Please tell us!", Ruin begged. "Yeah, we need to teach em' not to mess with us!", Emby added. "Now hold on a minute, I didn't say I would just show, or tell you the way there. Going to confront the Dark Elementals is suicide quest. They aren't just your run-of-the-mill monsters, these are the ones that tired out the Light Elementals, remember"? Everyone grimaced, except Ruin. "None of that matters to me. I will avenge my mother", he said, a fire in his eyes. The cat looked at him. His determination was unwaivering indeed! But still, it didn't look like the cat was too comfortable about telling him where the attackers were. "Maybe you don't understand..Let me tell you about what I know about the Dark Elementals", it said, sitting down.

The others sat down with listening ears on. "What I've witnessed from the war between these two forces is incredible. The Dark Elementals love using brute strength more than anything else. And they'll resort to any means necessary to achieve their goals. They possess a lot of means of attacking anything, so trying to guess what they'll do next is a rather difficult task. However, they are not invincible. The Light Elementals have a great advantage over them, no matter how much they exhausted them. but since you don't have a Light Elemental with you, chances of defeating one, let alone all of them is very slim", the cat explained. Ruin nodded, holding his Fire Sword. The cat glanced over at it. "Myah? What's that you have there, Ruin?", it asked, walking over to it. "Hm? Oh, this my old sword. But it broke in our fight with Sharnoc. It's been forged with some rock called Infin-ite, supposedly the last ore the Fire Elementals had", he said. The cat's eyes grew wider. ".... Oh. Good to know. Maybe... You might be fine after all. Maybe. But that's up to you if you know how to use this treasure..". The Elementals looked at each other. What did the feline mean? "I understand. Now, where is the Valley of Shadows??", Clover asked. "Come. I will take you part of the way. But you must go the rest of the way yourselves", the cat replied.

The group walked for a good while, past fields, and through a cave. When they saw a rugged path, the cat stopped. "If you follow this path, you'll be at the Valley of Shadows in a few minutes. But be warned: Now loose, the fiends could be anywhere, lurking in the shadows, ready to strike", it said, and made its way back home. As they walked, a sense of dread loomed over them. Indeed, the Dark Elementals were close by. "I'm not feeling good about this, Ruin. This place is giving me the creeps", Emby shuddered. Ruin was about to reply, when suddenly, he got tripped! "Ruin, are you ok??", Aquaria asked. "Heh heh, 'Ruin, are you ok??' He's a dope, sweet cheeks", a voice said. Clover looked around. "Not good...Hyah"! Before he could even finished his sentence, he was attacked from behind by a Dark Elemental! Luckily, he blocked with his grass blade. "Whoa, we're doing this now!?", Emby exclaimed, as he flipped backwards, firing fireballs at another Dark Elemental. "So, what do we have here..? Some helpless Elementals on a lovely stroll?", a Dark Elemental asked slyly, stepping from around the corner. She raised her hand, and the others backed off. " Mmm, that silver hair. Somebody's a Null, huh?", she said in a baby voice. Ruin growled in embarrassment/anger. "Hey, what do you mean by that!?", he yelled. "Ooh, temper temper. You don't wanna end up like those hothead Fire Elementals, do ya?", she sneers. "Watch it, lady! I'll scorch you!", Emby flared. "Awww, so cute. I could just eat you up, cutie", she taunted. Emby blushed, and just looked down. "Alright, enough greetings. We want the ones responsible for Null Village!", Clover demanded.

"Oh, that hole? Why do you care? It's just Null Elementals, no one cares about them", she scoffed. Ruin was enraged. "They killed my mom, and slaughtered my people! I won't let you get away with that!!", he yelled, and charged her. However, she dodged in an instant, and kicked him down to the ground! When he tried to get up, she stepped on his back. "So, you want some blood, huh? Well, you're going in the wrong direction, that was Jhuter's team who killed your pathetic people, not mine. But, if you think I'll let you go when you swung at me... You're mistaken..", she told him. " Jhuter??", Clover asked, as he was pinned to the tree. Suddenly, she raised her foot off his back, and Ruin got up quickly, confused as to why. You should be glad, I have a weakness for cute guys even if they are Nulls like you. I'll even let you go", she said with a wink. "Huh???", he wondered, but suddenly, they left. "Maybe we had them all wrong, huh guys"? But his friends didn't answer. They just stared at him with undereyed expressions. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?", he asked. Suddenly, Clover grew grass claws, and lunged at him! He dodged, but Aquaria tried to stab him with her trident! He quickly caught it! " Aquaria! Clover!? What're you doing!?", he yelled. Emby came up behind him, anspd socked him so hard, he boosted forward, and fell to the ground. He was so shocked. Why was his friends attacking him!?
