“Oh, so sweet, are the little lovers going to die hand in hand?” Able moked us as we took our positions, “be careful and” I placed my hand on Ozwald`s chest to transfer some of my barriers to him, I rushed Able, using my shiled to block and counter his thrusts, he is admitabley a formidable foe as he managed to keep me in check, he focused on me trying to brake through my shield to start hurming me, all they while spitting insults against my father and me, for a moment I though he was a nice person… that he was just lonely because of tragedy but as it turns out someone took advantage of my kindness, now the man that once talked to me about my father is tryin to kill me and my friends and that is something that I can not leave unpunished, With a loud roar I hit his harpoon away form his hand with a shield bash and promptly punched him in the face “you hit like a La-” I bashed him with my shild this time “I assure you Donna hit harder than this!!!” he dodged the next hit and slide to get his harpoon I need to buy Ozwald some time so he can get re-charge to fire some divine words, Able pointed at him with his harpoon as a shot was been made against Ozwald, I quickly jumped infornt of it to block it with my tower shield “well this brings back memories” Ozwald said while behind me as water was splashing form the sides “Any ideas on how to deal with him Ozwald?”

  Ozwald thought for a moment as the corrosion in his arms started to subside, “I guess we can`t temper him like I did the Bull jeje.” I put more weight against the shield, and it hit me. “… What did thou say?” Ozwald tilted his head the corrosion down to his wrist “… we cant temper him?” when Ozwald defited the Bull he told me about it so I used a technique my dad tought me when you are preparing metal you should temper it as to make it sturdier but if you do it wrongly it will brake it could possibly harm you too, why haven’t I tought about it before… my father wasn’t the first in the line of combat when using the lament of Sigurd he only used like I did in an emergency, I send my lance back to my gloves and shook Ozwald vigurosly “THAT’S IT!!! I COULD AND WILL KISS YOU LATER!!!”

  I closed my eyes and concentrated on only summon a part of the lament of Sigurd I started with the arm guards it was difficult, normally I can just concentrate and pull anything form the extra dimencional space in the gloves but it`s like the armor is trying to materialize fully and is fighting my summoning “Concentrate” I told myself even if strong this is still a tool, the armor didn’t continue to fomr as I felt Ozwalds hand on my back “You can do this” he said calmly and sweetly, I never really believe in miraculs, but that gental touch that had held me thight, that calmness and gentelness, I had to swallog the knot in stoked in my throat as if I didn’t I think I would brluted I love you right there and then and he deserves better than saying it in a death or alive situation; the arm guards formed and I noticed an inmidiate burst of power in my arms I was able to hold my shield and the stream with ease now “It worked Ozwald!” he nodded and pointed the staff FREEZE!!! In a second, the stream turned to ice, trapping Able`s hands and keeping him in place with the new strength from the armguards I managed to pierce through his skin, and the same black liquid as Luxura seeped out from the wounds.

  Able was enraged; now that we managed to wound his ego, he became more erratic, going for endless hits and less taunting. He was more preocupaid with his end goal of having my head on his boat. I was slower than him, and he was going to pierce my side power of light, words of might, smite this foe within my sight!!! A green colored ray of light hit Able in his chest burning him away form me “Got your back big guy!” the corrosion covered Ozwald`s entire hands he cant throw divine incantations in a big amount but if we are going to win this we are going to need them, I noticed my resonance stone moving so I placed in my ear as I summoned my leg guards.

  “High? You there?” I pressed the stone in my ear with my tomb and placed my pinkie finger near my lips “Yes, Donna is so good to hear your voice” she laughed a little and passed the stone to someone else “Hig” with just a singule word a small tear rolled down my face and I sighed of relive as Niko continued talking “Listen we have a plan on our end, we are going to-“ the stone changed persons quickly as Ozwald pushed the broken wood form the crates towards Able as stakes “dude we are going to blow the heart of the shark!” Carter declared, “Marten, please put a responsible adult in the stone!” “Hi agan hig sorry I was kicking a white cell did I mention we are fighting those?” normally I would be uset about it but im just glad they are not molten flesh “like my lovely boyfriend said, if we destriy its heart, I'm sure that could weaken the connection Able has to his titan side” “And how are you guys getting out?” I heard an explosion and some hits on the other side of the line. “Niko has us; he already traced a scape route, but…” Able came to try to squier me, but he didn’t account for the speed the legguards would grant me in a quick motion. I dodged and kicked him away.

  “once out we will be spent, I think we will just have enough to not die so you better get rid of that horrible man!” the connection got cut out we need a plan to finish the fight when we see a big explotion in the water I run back, grabbed Ozwald and hide for a moment to rely the information I got “that sounds like a plan they would come up with, but on our end is still difficult no matter how much we attack he is not getting that hurt it could take us houers that we don’t have… any ideas?” I do have one, but I don’t know how Ozwald would react. It's not too bad, but he might dislike the idea. “Ozwald… can you separate him from his core?” he blinked for a moment. “Like how Otis did it?” I nodded he lowered his head “I`m not sure, he did it with a divine word I don’t think I can with one, maybe with a divine incantation but, I need him to hold still” I summoned the brestplate and now im ready to fight him and give Ozwald the opening he need “I can keep him in one place for you” hi hit me in the head “if you feel like you lose something take that armor off!”

  “Wouldn’t you like me to strip for you” I covered my mouth when the connotation of the words that left my mouth hit me “…did you just-” the harpoon pireced the mast of the ship saveing me from having to explain so I redirected my attention to able with the lament of Sigurt as is I will be able to fight on the same level, so far I don’t feel anything is missing, not the armor has adapted to the lose of my motor functions, whenever that had happened it feels like someone or something is trying to take over my body I was afraid that if I over did it or use it for more than the amount of time I was able to whitstand it I ownder if this armor is like the staff of Eon and has something lurking in it, my father had never told me anything like that but considering its benefits and its drawback I am starting to suspect that is the case “you are just like everyone else…” able said as we clahsed “you think” he pushed me forward and even with the power up of the armor was difficult to keep him at bay “that you can win? That everything will be okay once you kill me? But I know your true nature,” I moved my lance, and we got separated, he roared again, black ichor running down his wounds.

  “you will hurt them… all of them” he threw his harpoon at me but now it was very simple to dodge I swing at it and send it right back at him, unable to catch it or dodge he placed his arm to protect his head fomr been pirced he reliced a long hurt cry as his arm fell flat to his side harpoon still embedded in it and yet he ran at me, if it mear pride what is moving him? Has able been death all this time, an empty shell of a man that use to be a strong sailor, “knights… knights are the biggest farse there is!” he no longer had the vigor and powere he used to have and that’s when the sea boomed with light; fire, water and wind swirled in a spiral near the ship Able opened his moth and a big stain of ichor and blood came pouring out his only eye got all milky and glassed over “where… where you?” he still managed to hit me and his words probably where the stronges thing he had in his last moments.

  “Why did you leave us, Ruri? Everyone was happy, and you took that from them…” I looked at Ozwald and nodded for him to start his divine incantation, “Being formed of malice and sin...” Light started to gather near the golden disk of the staff. “How dear you… You took their future… their lives were worth nothing to you? Would you do the same for those kids you call friends?” “I'm not my father!” “lost and hurt like a beast...” Able laughed a full toothy grin, “Oh, so sorry, my pridfull knight, let's see… You are going to kill me and go back to your so perfect life? And do what? Play house with that boy? Pretend to be a goodie two-shoes like dear old pa? they will never be enough for this and you-” his leg cracked, shattering like a mirror in a million pices I had to hold him as he shook “I want to be better…” Able looked at me as his boddy shattered “for all my life I tought that I wanted to be like my father, I felt pride in the tought but… the more I fight and lead them and the knights I keep finding more things I want to change” returne to dark where shadows dwell, to be what you use to be...” light started to form under Able “I`m tired of being someones plaything, I`m tired of hurting and hiding it, I want to be proud of me” “you sure know how to talk, but it doesn’t matter look at what pride gets you… no life… no friends… only the maddening obsession of years long gone of a grudge that festered and infected everything… but I guess it will be over soon… I will be a memory and sink to the bottom of the sea.”

  “Perhaps you will, but rest assured I won't forget you, nor your actions.” he laughed and coughed one more time before the cracks extended to his face. I reclaim your power to be sealed now: HUMILITAS!!!” “Giving me hope? You sure are better,” he said when the core detached from his eye, leaving an empty socket filled with cracks. His smoking pipe fell from his lips as he imparted his last words, “Kai… I wish you hadn’t come to this boyage Lad.. would you watch your dear old pa form av..o..be?” the cracks extended and bursted turning him into dust the only thing left was his pipe and the core Ozwald walked weakly to my side a before he could make it he fall too, my body felt havey and I landed near him with our friends been expelled form the raminings of the shark I don’t know what will be of us I hope someone finds us.
