Chapter 289 - The Ark Of Cards Against Tsunami

How did you... Do that? Only the Founders can communicate telepathically. And how did you even listen to our conversation?

I've been hearing things I couldn't before after Mavislin did something to my ears. As for answering you, I am using one of my Constellations to communicate with you. This is from your Crystal.

Alright. I only got a question left. Mavislin, what are your orders for me?

We got all the information that we could and need. Feel free to kill him. Don't waste too much effort either.

Then what should be my last question?

Ask if he can remember who Gab was. The one I was fighting remembered at the last moment who I was. And it feels like that they've got their memories but they've been repressed. See if you can jig up his memories. If not, proceed on with the mission.

And if I do make a connection with him?

If that's the case, it would mean that they are the real deal. They aren't reincarnations or artificially created. They're not shapeshifters, from what I can tell. We are heading in your direction soon. We'll be there in about a few stone's throw's away.

"Last question. Do you remember who this man was to you?" asked Ysabeau, pointing to Gab.

Since the boy can't see, he was unable to make out specific features of Gab. He shook his head sadly, which devastated Gab.

"Do you remember that you've got an elder brother?"

"I... cannot remember... I only know that I have got three other siblings. I don't have any parents," said the child, with his mind whirling.

"Well, at least he got the last part right," whispered Gab.

"Alright then, no more questions. Do whatever you want."

With those last words, Ysabeau walked away, halting at a distance. She took a deep breath as she absorbed the Water Element from the air around her. She closed her eyes as she realized she would be acting on her emotions while using this attack.

She was probably going against Mavislin's orders of using such a lavish attack. But this had to be done, at least a thank you for telling them where would be their next lead.

Blueish streams started to gather around her being, changing her Elemental Aura into the ocean's blue. The young child froze as he witnessed and felt the change within Ysabeau. It clouded nearly all he could see. But he reacted promptly, drawing out his Court Cards.

"Cascada: Last Moon."

The ground shook as she muttered those words. A full moon appeared above the child's head, drawing moisture from the area beneath it. Bright blue pillars appeared around the rim of the moon, slamming down onto the ground to trap the boy.

"Minor Arcana: Court Cards..." chanted the boy, seemingly unfazed by being the center of the danger.

The boy's chosen cards burst into flames as wands appeared around him, turning the water created into steam. Each wand was different, representing each Court Card. The largest and grandest being the King's. A slightly thinner and smaller one, though still quite a beautiful one being the Queen's.

The Knight's wand was slightly more silver, less color but had intricate designs of dragons. Last but not least, the Page's wand looked like a training wand, only slightly bigger. All of the Court Wands were around the same size. The boy snapped his fingers, activating the first part of the spell.

The King's wand's flames flared intensely, sending a ball of fire to the Queen's wand with a fire link in the middle. This created the same effect on the Knight's and Page's wands. This all happened as Ysabeau was still drawing Energy from the area.

When they were all linked, beams of fire shot out from each wand, trying to destroy the water pillars of Ysabeau's spell. But it was futile, and he knew it as well.

"Tsunami of the Full Moon."

The moment she said those words, water came pouring from all directions, mainly from the pillars. The boy lowered his wands as he saw that he had no chance in this battle. The monstrous bout of water overwhelmed the boy, drowning him instantly before he had the chance to finish his spell.

But, the boy managed to give one thing to the duo before dying. A genuine smile of relief, a token of appreciation for liberating him from his curse. And as he did, he managed to see what his dead sister saw before dying.

A flashback of how he used to be with his siblings. He answered his own question and he was indeed related to his siblings. He was sad that he could not live on with them. But he knew that he could join his sister in death, so she won't be alone.
