Tales Of The Supremes 14 Portal

"No! We will all fight together." Tala stated.

"We don't have time anymore. The enemy already surrounded us." A b.l.o.o.d.y man holding a s.h.i.+eld uttered.

"In count of three, let's do it!" A woman in black said.

A six different kind of energy horizontally moved in spiral as it formed a channel.

"Then, let's go together." Tala suggested.

"We need to buy time. As long as you live there will be a chance of survival Tala. Be safe!" A woman holding a scythe uttered.

They then pushed Tala inside the channel. At the same time, a man with a burn-like wings arrived. Tala saw her comrades slaughtered by this being. She crawled forward to lend them a hand but the force of the channel kept dragging her away. Her tears fall. There's nothing she can do. They already dead. A pain in her heart was all she felt. She touch her chest. She felt a cold metal that pierced through her heart. A blood flowed from her mouth. The man that slaughtered her comrades was already in front of her. Her sight was being fuzzy as she lost her consciousness.

...

'Fuhhh! So, I was killed!' Tala thought as she take a sit on the bed while grasping her breathe. Someone hugged her from the back while panting. She then turn her head and saw a crying Eya.

...

Eya sat down beside Tala's bed. She wanted to take care of her before she leave. Suddenly, she heard a throbbing sound from Tala. She looked at Tala. Tala was pressing her chest hardly while crying in pain. Eya didn't know what to do.

"Tala was in so much pain. What should I do?" Eya was trembling. She wanted to caress Tala's hair but her hands kept trembling. Her eyes begun to shed tears.

"Eya, calmed down!" A soft voice travelled to her ears.

She turned her head and saw Adasa composed self. She then calmed down a little bit.

Although Adasa looked like placid, he can't help to worry. 'Tala was in so much pain, that's for sure.' He thought.

Suddenly, Tala open her eyes and take a sit while leaning her head to her right hand. Eya hurriedly hugged her in the back and said, "Thanks heaven, you're okay!"

"Eya?" Tala was surprised. She then looked around and saw Adasa. She looked at Eya and wiped her tears. "I'm okay. I will always be okay. You need not to worry." She then give her a warm smile.

"If your in pain, please tell me." Eya said while throbbing.

"Yes..yes..!" Tala hugged her tight.

Adasa heaved a sigh of relief seeing a well Tala.

"How long did I asleep?" Tala broke the silence.

"You've been asleep for almost six days." Eya stated as she went near to Adasa signaling him not to talk.

"Six days? Thanks heaven. I made it in time." Tala felt something amiss with the two. 'Whatever it is, I know I will find it soon.' She thought.

"I should prepare. I will descend tomorrow." Tala was going to stand up when suddenly, Eya stop her and said, "You don't need to. Head Araw already postponed it for five days more."

"Oh, I see!" Tala didn't know if she will laugh or cry. "You've already decided to change me, huh!" Tala knew from her past life that the portal can't be postponed for it can only be open at exact time or else, disaster will come forth.

"What do you mean?" Shocked Eya asked while pressing her left palm.

"Don't play innocent Eya. I know you when you're hiding something from me. So, you better spit it out before I get angry!" Tala frowned.

Eya felt silent. Adasa take a step forward and said, "You're right, Tala. We all decided to change you. Head Araw approved it too. You don't have to worry about it."

"Who?"

"I am!" Eya said proudly.

Tala was surprised. She then make a cute smile. "It's easy then." She murmured. She thought, 'this wasn't the time to be stubborn.'

Eya was silent. She thought Tala will be stubborn. Who knows Tala will be this easy to dealt with.

"Where are you going?" Adasa asked as he saw Tala's heading to the door.

"Going to my residence." Tala replied.

"You can't. Wait for a moment. I'll call elder Lakandula." Adasa run outside and search for elder Lakandula.

"Guardian Tala (Eya) pays respect to Elder Lakandula." They clasped their fist and bowed.

"Don't you feel any pain or fatigue?" Elder Lakandula asked.

"No. Nothing at all!" Tala replied enthusiastically.

Elder Lakandula examined Tala's condition. He was stunned to the result. 'She should need ten days, but she recuperated only within six days. My inference should be right. Am I getting old?" He then checked the bed. The gemstone was reduced to dust. 'This shouldn't be happening.' His mouth open wide.

"Is there something wrong elder Lakandula?" Eya asked the silent elder.

"No. Nothing!" Elder Lakandula replied.

Tala bit her lower lip seeing the intent gaze of elder Lakandula to the reduced gemstone.

"Elder Lakandula, I'm sorry for reducing that gemstone into dust. My body instinctly absorbed it's energy way too fast. I..I..am truly sorry." Tala felt embarra.s.sed.

"It's okay. It's truly okay!" Elder Lakandula stop starring to the reduced gemstone for he felt that his action led to Tala's embarra.s.sment. 'Her might of absorption was incredible. That's might be the reason why the gemstone was reduced to that state.'

"Can I go out now?" Tala asked.

"Of course, you can!" Elder Lakandula replied.

Tala head out. Eya and Adasa accompanied her.

...

Eleven Guardians arrived at the skirt of their tribe land. A magnificent golden wall was visible even from a far. There were two smaller wall in both side of the magnificent golden wall called Tiny golden wall.

"Vice-heads, take out your emblem now!" Head Araw ordered. Facing a magnificent golden wall, the ten great elder placed their emblem to the carved holes. There were ten aligned horizontally.

The wall emitted a golden light and it suddenly became a portal.

"You can go now Eya." Head Araw instructed.

Eya was taking her step when she suddenly heard a voice saying,

"Wait!"

It was Tala.

"Guardian Tala pays respect to the ten Great Elders!" She clasped her fist and bowed.

"Head Araw, I asked your forgiveness for my rudeness, but can I take the pleasure to be send to the human world?"

"Pleasure? Are you serious Tala?" Eya was enraged. She thought Tala wouldn't be stubborn this time, but who knows her headstrong personality will knew nothing. Saying it was a pleasure descending to the human world as in just walking in the park?

Tala didn't bother Eya. She looked at the Head with twinkling eyes.

"Pleasure? Your young mind Tala makes me truly amazed, but I'm afraid I can't do it without her permission. If she didn't object, then I will not!" Head Araw said while he take a gazed to Eya.

"Thank you Head Araw!" Tala then dragged Eya to one corner and looked at her with big watery eyes as in begging and said, "Eya, can you please agree with it. I will definitely stay safe, huh?"

"Tala, I'm doing this for you. Adasa already told us everything, so you better stay here." Eya said firmly.

"I can't. If I stay here, my promise to sir Enix will be broken. You don't want me to be called a freud guardian, right? and the consequences of broken promises..?" Tala said while Pouting. 'It's better if sir Enix can handle them.' Tala curved her lips.

Eya can't found a word. Broken promise has a severe consequences. She can't let Tala get punish. 'Punishment was less to be worried, but her name will be sullied.' She thought.

"I'll agree, but you better get back with no missing part of your body or else, I'm gonna kicked you out to my life!" Eya said angrily.

"Yes. Yes. Thank you Eya!" Tala hugged her tight. "Right! Here's my little gift. I hope you like it."

Eya get the small book on the hand of Tala. She was surprised seeing the words written.

"Is this your secret technique?" Eya asked.

"Actually it's not secret, but it's special." Tala replied. She was the one who made that technique that's why its special, but she didn't wanna try to hide it. 'Sooner or later, I will distribute it to other. It's easier if Eya will do it for I will be gone for five years. That's a long time.' She thought.

"Eya, you can teach or tell others about it." Tala stated.

"So, it was called 'Fiery Lightning Footwork Technique!" Eya murmured.

They went back. Without objection, Tala headed and descended to the human world.
