Chapter 5: A Building Bondage

The Yendees thought that they could now quickly wipe out the rest of the Evil Army, as they liked to call it. But little did those Yendees know, that those couple of battles weren't even the beginning of what was really in store for the whole world. And now, all of a sudden, the Evil Army hadn't invaded Yendis for about a week. So now, life was happy, with the brothers exploring the wonders of the outskirts of Yendis. The brothers, one day, were walking around the village of Yendis. Now the brothers were like the problem fixers for the Yendees. Whenever anybody needed help, they could look at the Eyerie brothers.


So after they helped Old Man Kenji to bring all the animals back into their pen, Krad remembered Aerial. That face, those eyes, that hair, it was all clear to Krad. So he told Luke that he would be back in 10 minutes. Luke said okay, so Krad ran to Thalor's house. He didn't bother for the first floor, but he went to the second. There he found Thalor, "Hello, Thalor. We meet again. Listen, I know this will hurt you, but I need to talk to you about something, or someone, I have been thinking a lot about lately."-Krad, "Hey! What are you doing? Did you get permission from Ostaf? Wait, you are Kradius. Ah! Yes! So, what in the name of sages do you want?"-Thalor. Krad hesitated, but he managed to continue, "About uhh.......well--look--I wanna talk about.............Aerial, your daughter."-Krad.


Suddenly, Thalor's eyes grew to a watery state,"Ah, her. My only daughter, who is not my daughter anymore. I sent her to another planet called Earth. I don't know if you have heard of it, but years ago, three boys were sent there to Earth. It's because of the destruction here on this planet. Those three boys had a lot of potential in them, but it is very hard to see it in their eyes. Right now, this planet is in grave danger, so I sent Aerial to go to Earth and retrieve those three boys for me. She was on her way back, through a portal, saying she got two boys, but has one right now and is going through the portal with him. All of a sudden, everything just stopped, I didn't even hear one letter come from her mouth. Now that means only evil has struck. I fear that she may be somewhere on Grimfang Island way over there, because today, that is the source of all evil. Oh! I wish those two heroes of the legend would come, and save my Aerial for me. But then again, they would have brought her here to make me come out and become captured, so I think she isn't in Grimfang Island. I know this is confusing, because I don't get it either, but I pray for her every day to come back. My magic just won't reach---"-Thalor was interrupted by some distant vortex in the sky.


Out of that vortex, there came out two figures. One was someone Krad has never seen before, but the other one looked so oddly familiar. While Thalor kept weeping, Krad looked closely at the familiar one. Look, it has something hanging around its neck, the hair looks just like--,"No way. No chance that could be her. But it has to be her. There's no other explanation. Thalor! Look it's Aerial! She's landing right on the sea near Grimfang Island! What if the Black Army takes her! And that other person might be the last of the three boys that are needed." Thalor just kept sobbing, ignoring Krad. So without further, there comes a rescue mission. Krad can't go by sea, what about that giant fish? It would gobble him down like nothing. No. There has to be a way to rescue Aerial. Suddenly, Krad realized he was thinking so much about Aerial. So much, every second, he heard her voice ring in his head. It was as if his heart made the sound Aerial every time it would beat. There was no time to call the others, or even Luke.

Krad had to do this by himself. What was there to do? All he took was an extremely thick vine from a huge plant in Thalor's room. And from there, Krad jumped out the window. He was swimming through the sea, when he heard loud heartbeats coming from the sea. They were getting louder and louder, faster and faster. At the last second, Krad saw it coming and quickly evaded the gigantic sea monster. With the vine still in hand, he wrapped it through the mouth of the giant creature, and sat on its back, taming the beast. From there, Krad quickly rode across the sea, proud of his accomplishment. When he got near, he decided to slow down and duck, so that he may remain unnoticed. Soon, Krad saw a body floating and bobbing on the surface of the Cold Sea. He got near, and he saw those same eyes, that same hair, and those same goggles. She was unconscious, and was just lying down there in the water.


For about 5 minutes counting straight, Krad stared at Aerial, a smile on his face. Slowly, he bent down, and with his two arms, he picked her up. There was no place to put her except for right in front him. When he put her in that position, her head rested on Krad's chest. Right when that happened, Krad's heart was beating and beating and beating, so hard he couln't control it. He took a deep breath, and when he took a glimpse at the sky, he saw a huge cannonball flying right towards him. Krad quickly told his fish, which he named Raizel, to run ahead, back to Yendis. Rai listened, and swam at an amazing speed, in about 15 minutes, they were there, back at Yendis. Krad looked at Aerial once there, and a smile grew across his face again. Since she was still unconscious, Krad picked her up, and secretly took her back to Thalor, where Krad found Luke talking with him. When Krad entered, he put Aerial down softly, and when Thalor saw, he went mad. Luke questioned Krad on what he just did, and Krad told him everything about the fish, saving Aerial, the cannonball, everything. Krad didn't know it yet, but he had something that was continuously growing between him and Aerial...
