Chapter 20: The Four Horsemen Make Themselves Known

(Black Night Ghost is the Four Horseman, War)

Same P.O.V as the ending of last chapter

This got me angry. "YOU JUST ABANDONED DAD! TO JOIN THAT CRAZY HUNT! YOU ARE A DISGRACE!" I yelled at him, walking up to him and getting in his face. He snarled at me and pushed me back. "Think I care? I rather be part of the Wild Hunt instead of helping an old, overgrown lizard." he growled at me. I roared like a monster and punched him in the stomach. He went flying backwards and made a crater in the wall. "Chris!" Erica yelled. Allister launched at me and punched my stomach and, with his tailwind, went flying to the other side of the room. "Chris!" Rebecca yelled out in worry. I gave a monstrous growl and launched myself at Allister, ignoring Rebecca. By now, I was going off of rage and pure dragon instinct. The fighting went on. Just as a kick was about to hit my head, a ghostly neigh from a horse resounded through the room.

"W-What was that?" I heard someone in the crowd ask. I looked at a shaking Rebecca. The air temperature was dropping at rapid rate now. You could see my breathe. I walked towards Rebecca and wrapped her in my arms. She leaned into me, accepting my warmth and body heat. "What's happening?" Erica asked. She looked like she was made of fire right now, signaling she went into her elemental nymph mode. "Di immortales... You don't think..." Alex asked, trailing off. Then, the neigh came again. It sound like it was coming from the door. We all turned to look at it and slowly walked away from it. The doors were then slammed open and a black suit of armour cladded man on a black horse with red eyes entered. Green smoke left exited from each crevasse of the armour. The man gave an evil chuckle as he walked in. "My my... what do we have here..." he said in a deep, gravely voice.

"War..." Allister hissed. Everyone in the room gasped. This was the Four Horsemen, War! The monsters every mythical creature people are still trying to catch. War chuckled. When he spoke, the mouth piece moved. "Allister... how are you?" War asked. "Just fine. Kill me, and the Wild Hunt comes after you." Allister replied. War laughed loudly and shook his head side to side. War snapped the reigns on his horse and it proceeded forward. "You don't scare me. Besides, the Wild Hunt doesn't care about you, they threw you into The Box! Why would they come now?" he asked. As War and Allister talked, Aquila motioned for Eryr, Erica, Shauna, Silver, Seraph, Sabrina, Alex, Rebecca and I to follow him. A swirling tunnel of black sand was connected to the wall. "Go. Escape to the Mortal world. Eryr, train your sister and get along with Chris. Chris, protect my daughter. Finally, Rebecca. I may have just got you back, but I want you to leave and be safe." he said in a fast, hushed tone.

"What? No! I just got you, I'm not losing you!" Rebecca said, starting to quietly sob. "It won't be the last you'll see of me." Aquila said. You could now hear howling wolves and the wind was picking up. War animals could be heard throughout the room. "Go! Now!" Aquila yelled. Alex went in first. Then Shauna, then Silver. Then there was only Seraph, Eryr, Rebecca and I left. "I will do what you have asked." Seraph said with a serious face. Aquila nodded. Then Seraph was gone in the portal. "Dad..." "Father..." Rebecca and Eryr said at the same time. Aquila hugged them both. The noises were louder now. When they broke the hug, Aquila pushed the two inside the portal. "NOO!" Rebecca yelled just before she was transported away. Aquila looked at me. "Don't let what The Fates tell you come true. It may be her, or it may be Vanessa." he told me. My eyes widened. "How did you-" "No time. Go!" Aquila said, interrupting me. I just nodded and jumped in.

The black sand swallowed me and it felt like I was flying through a black sand storm. Then he sand spat me up and I was falling to the ground that was coming at me fast. So, I ended in a stunt role and stood up. I looked up and saw the portal 7 feet above the ground. It closed and I looked at our group. Erica still had tears in her eyes, but was back in her human form. She had taken Fauna's body with her. Alex was staring at Erica with a look of sadness. Sabrina and Seraph were off to the side and speaking in hushed tones. I looked at Shauna and she looked exhausted. Silver was on his back, breathing heavily. Eryr and Rebecca looked broken. Mostly Rebecca. Her eyes were glazed over. I wish I knew what was going on in her head.

Rebecca's P.O.V

'Let me talk with your brother.' Mom said in my head. No. I need to be in control for them. 'Too late!' she replied. That's when it started to feel like something was clawing out of me. I gasped in pain and a light flew out of my chest. It involuntarily sent me into Leviathan mode. My wings sprouted from my back and I felt my hair grow longer. The light turned black and a 18 year old girl formed. She looked almost exactly like me, but with gold eyes. Though, it looked like she was actually here. "Hello everyone!" she said in my mother's voice. That's when it clicked. "Angelica!?" everyone yelled in shock. That got my grandfather and cousin's attention. "Angelica!" they yelled in happiness. "Angelica?" Eryr asked. "Our mom Asshole." I snarled at him. That's when I felt someone hit the back of my head and I fell forward into the ground. I got up and glared at my mother. "Bad Rebecca! That is no way to treat your older brother!" she scolded me. Eryr snickered. I looked at him just as he got the same treatment. He got up and said "Mother!" "That's for calling your sister a half breed. And, if you had a single brain cell in your body, you're also a half breed as well!" she told him.

"But-" "No buts! Both of you get along or I will as your grandfather to lock you both up in a demon cage!" she yelled at us. I looked behind her to see almost everyone trying not to laugh. "Mom! You're embarrassing me!" I whined. Though inside, I felt happy. I finally had a parent telling me what to do and what not to do. Along with a punishment. "This is highly unreasonable behavior, Mother!" Eryr whined as well, crossing his arms. Oh my God... if he is going to talk like that the whole time, I'm going to punch him. Mom smacked the back of his head again with her tail and yelled "And you! Start talking like someone from this Era! Your making a fool out of yourself!" At this, everyone burst into laughter. Mom finally noticed them and took a good look at them. "Hmm... what's this? Now that I have enough energy, I can finally see what your friends actually look like!" she said with glee.

She looked at Chris first, walking around him and studying him. That shut him up. He blushed and looked highly uncomfortable. "Hmm... nice muscles, good looks, part dragon too... Nice choice sweety." Mom said with a wink in my direction. I blushed heavily and whined "Mom!" Next was Alex. "Another dragon, huh? Hmm... larger build then the other Dragon, forest green eyes, same good looks... You single?" she asked. "Uh, no." Alex said, equally uncomfortable. At this, Erica and I burst into laughter. Next up was Silver. "A werewolf now? Jesus, Rebecca! Your pack is just a cluster of creatures, isn't it!" Mom said with laughter. "Oh my God... kill me..." I said, burying my head in my hands. "Hmm... not as built as usual werewolves... Who are you mated to?" she asked. I looked up and saw Silver blush. He whispered it to Mom. When he was done, he quickly glanced behind me and back at her. I looked over my shoulder at a grumpy Eryr who wasn't watching this.

I gasped lightly and looked back at Silver. Then Mom moved to Shauna. "A banshee... beautiful too. Daughter of the ruler of the banshees?" Mom asked. Shauna nodded. Mom then went to Erica. She saw Queen Fauna's body and knelt beside her. "I'm sorry for your loss, young nymph... she must have loved you dearly." Mom said in a sad tone. All Erica did was shut up and nod sadly. Mom got up and then waved at Seraph and Sabrina. They grinned and waved back. "Okay! I have enough energy to take back most of my soul! All that's left is to awaken Eryr's side of me and that fragment of myself will return!" she said with a determined smile. Wait what? "Pardon me?" Sabrina asked, confused. "What? Think the only reason I'm here is because I magically regained my powers?" Mom asked. Everyone nodded.

"False! Let me tell you a story! Once upon a time, there was a woman and a man. The woman had just gave birth to a baby boy. The man was a Phoenix bird and the woman was a demon. The woman fed the baby boy a bottle of Phoenix flames. The baby grew small bat wings and a small tail. The woman casted a spell on him and locked away the baby boy's demonic heritage using a piece of her soul. Then, they gave the boy to another Phoenix family. After a while, the woman gave birth to a baby girl this time, but couldn't give the baby girl Phoenix flames because she was assassinated in the hospital by the nurse. So the man, grief stricken, put the baby girl into an adoption agency in the Mortal world and left her there." Mom said. "So? What does this story have to do with anything?" Eryr asked. Though I had pieced the story together. "That's it..." I said.

Everyone looked at me. "What is?" Chris asked. "Do you remember how you told me that Phoenix flames help unlock a monster's power?" I asked him. Chris nodded. "Well, what if the flames weren't for my Phoenix abilities because I already had them, but for my demonic ones!" I explained. Everyone had wide eyes. "DING DING DING! AND THE WINNER IS REBECCA!" Mom said with happiness. "That makes sense! Phoenix birds are usually born with their flames! They wouldn't need to drink their own flames!" Seraph explained. We all then looked at Eryr. He looked at all of us and said "What?" "Good thing Aquila gave me this." Seraph said. We all looked at him as he pulled out a vial of Phoenix flames.
