#14 of The Codex

Where all is history, a new story unfolds.


Felicia flicked her finger up, Jax began to decompose, blood started to flow into Felicia's crown as she sighed out in pleasure "Ahh, fresh blood" she spoke, biting into her own lip.

"You whore!" Scy said, raising his blade before lunging it towards Felicia's chest, she chuckled whilst feeling the blade cut into her. Darvo shook his head before pushing Scy away, standing in front of the two. "She uses her own wounds as weapons, remember?" he spoke "If she really is like Razette that means she will be equally as strong, maybe stronger with that book" Darvo spoke.

Scy groaned, realizing they were about to lock into a battle to the death, Felicia let the book float in front of her. Pages began to flip around, creating dust that was directly absorbed into Felicia's body.

A screeching sound was heard, Felicia began to chuckle before falling on the ground, her body began to cramp together. Scy and Darvo readied their blades, eyes fixated on the scene.

A shiver went down Scy's spine as he saw how her body began to deform, four wings grew out of her back, a tail started to rip open underneath her back. Her arms began to stretch out, long sharp blades formed on the inside, her fingers retracted together, a strong layer formed around all this.

Her legs began to bend forward slightly, she got up on her feet as she had taken appearance of a sort of mantis. Moving quickly towards the two warriors while swinging her sharp blades inwards.

"Whoa" Darvo said while they both bucked, evading the incoming arms. Felicia lowered her head, screaming with a deafening tone, the two grasping their ears in pain. Her wing began to rub against each other, creating a vibrating noise that filled the area.

Her blades swung downwards. Darvo's blade blocked both attacks, his eyes widened as he felt how they began to cut into the thick sword. "She's cutting through!" He yelped out in pain while Scy rolled away.

Darvo was struggling as Felicia kept swinging her blades downwards, feeling how Darvo's blade began to give in. Darvo gasped before pushing his blade into Felicia, rolling away as he saw how she cut through the blade.

her wings stopped vibrating, the noise faded as the two quickly got up "My blade..." Darvo whimpered softly, a soft growl followed. Scy saw how Felicia neared again, raising herself up, blades high. His eyes fell on her stomach, flinging his short sword towards it.

A scream was heard, liquid began to leak from the cut, Scy gave a soft growl while tugging on his robe to make the blade cut upwards. Felicia Began to jump forward, gaining altitude while flying over the two warriors, landing in the distance as her form began to alter again.

The blades began to sink into her arms again as she fell on hands and knees. A loud scream of pain was heard, Scy running towards her as this was her vulnerable state. He jumped on top of her, thrusting his blades into her back as blood began to gush out of the wounds.

Felicia turned her head as small eyes began to grow in her forehead, the gushing blood hardened before sharpening. Scy quickly jumped off while he left his blades in her back. Felicia felt how four more arms grew out of her sides, her back swelling up slightly as spiked hairs began to grow out of her whole body.

Her mouth began to rip open, creating strong fangs, a screech was heard before her behind began to grow in a bulbous form. Turning herself to face Scy who saw how his robes were pulled tightly. He stood his ground, eye in eye with Felicia who had taken form of a giant spider.

Darvo saw the event, his claws chanting a magic spell while standing in the distance. "Can you hold out!" he asked, Scy nodding in response as he saw how his enemy began to spit a green liquid on the floor.

Scy saw how the liquid began to burn into the ground, gasping as he changed his vision to the spider, seeing it storm his way. He began to roll to the side, using the robes to pull the spider along.

He saw how Darvo created a ball of wind magic, shooting it towards his partner. Scy got ready, feeling a strong gust of wind into his back that launched him up. Spinning his arms around to reel the robe in, falling on Felicia's back with a growl.

"You're no better than a beast kin yourself!" he spoke, Pulling out his blades. The spider began to gain speed, rushing towards Darvo, who readied his fists. Scy saw his partner stand still, quickly stabbing his blades into adjacent legs, cutting through them with fast speed before jumping off again.

His robes extending while he started to give a strong pull, the blades cutting fully through the legs, Felicia screeching in pain before turning herself around. Darvo saw how she changed her focus, stepping in while lunging his fist forward.

He began to release fire from his mouth as his fist came in contact with her back. A burst of flames erupted, his fist shoving Felicia forward, making her lose balance to fall on her stomach.

Her legs began to dissolve into dust before the Beastiary codex appeared in front of her. Reaching out her hand to grab the glass book. Scy shook his head before tugging both ropes, making them fling his blades towards her. Raising her hand to catch the incoming blades, protecting the codex.

Scy saw how his blades cut through her arm, making her scream in pain. "Ahnf! H-Heh..." She spoke softly, her hands grasped the codex before pushing it into her chest. The codex shattered in dust before she absorbed it once more.

Darvo ran closer, seeing her sit up as he lunged his fist once more. He felt a strong barrier appear, his fist punching against it, creating a strong knock back. Darvo fell backwards, seeing how Felicia began to float in the air.

Scy couldn't help but watch how Felicia had taken in the whole Beastiary Codex, book of disastrous magic. "Scy! Do something!" Darvo said, panting softly as continuous casting of magic began to wear him out.

Throwing his blade towards the floating woman, the same strong barrier lit up again once the sword hit. Scy saw how the woman pulled the sword into her vicinity, letting it float as well.

Scy widened his eyes, his blade began to dissolve into dust, quickly pulling his robe back to see how his sword was completely absorbed as dust into her body.

She chuckled softly before shattering her barrier. She had taken form of her own body, her pale skin showing deep red veins. Dust was flowing around her while her long black hair was floating idly in the air.

Her hands gathered dust before she started to form it. It took the form of an spear, turning herself around to face Darvo. Her smile disappeared before the spear shot towards Darvo. Scy gasped, flinging his other blade towards the incoming spear. Darvo quickly pushed his arms forward, chanting his barrier up.

He saw how Scy's blade coiled around the dust spear, a strong tug brought the spear out of course. Felicia gazed to her spear, letting it spin around with Scy's robe coiled around. "Goodbye" she spoke, the spear started rush back towards Darvo.

Scy felt his robe rip loose, his eyes widen to feel the strong force shred his robe free. His eyes began to flicker, small red dots appeared on his iris. Darvo saw the incoming spear, readying his energy while casting the barrier.

He felt a strong force push into his barrier, Felicia grinned before clenching into her hands, the spear gained force and broke through the barrier. A groan was heard, Darvo widened his eye before coughing loudly.

It was as if time froze, Scy fell on his knees as well. Felicia had teleported in front of Darvo, his gaze was blank while blood ran down over the spear that had pushed into his chest. "Such a pity, do you remember now?" she spoke softly, her hand grasping the spear.

Her foot rested against Darvo's stomach while she quickly pulled the spear out, her foot pushing Darvo back. Scythe growled while shaking his head in disbelief.

His partner was lying motionless on the floor, his stare was blank and non responsive. The red dots on his iris began to spin around as he slowly got up.

"W-what..." He said softly, feeling a surge of emotion run through his body. Felicia turned around, the spear in her hand shattered in dust that began to float around her again.

"You, how...No way!" Scy said with anger, feeling how a burst of magic began filling his body, the red dots spun around like a wheel. Scy lowered his paws with a loud growl, a magic burst exploded around him as his markings turned red just like his eyes. His paws formed together while he fired off a giant fire ball towards Felicia.

Felicia grinned, holding her hand in front of her, the dust around her formed a shield. She felt a strong push against her shield before dismissing the magic. "Ah, krayze" she said, Scy had taken the form of his alter ego Krayze.

He ran towards Felicia, who in her turn began to fire multiple dust bullets. Krayze began dodging with rapid speed, nearing Felicia as he jumped up. His claw clutched onto Felicia's head before pushing her down to the ground.

He quickly pushed his paws together, charging up a beam of magic before jumping back. Felicia still knocked down on the floor saw the magic gather in Krayze's paws. Swirling her hand in the air to create a dust barrier.

Krayze growled, a strong burst of magic was released, the barrier lit up in response. He readied his fist to lunge forward, hearing the barrier shatter back into dust. "You will pay in blood for this!" Krayze spoke before his other paw flung to her throat, scratching open a wound.

Felicia took hold of his paw, Krayze punching forward with his other in response, that paw too got taken hold by the woman. She grinned before pulling the dragon iguana closer, her feet pushing him upwards. Her eyes narrowed as the dust began to rush towards him, bursts of magic pushed him higher into the air before Felicia got on her feet again.

Dusting off the dirt from her body before wings began growing, flying up to Krayze with her hands ready to grab him. Krayze recovered from the dust attack, his gaze fell on the ascending female. With rapid speed she knew how to grab hold of the dragon iguana, lifting him up higher while exchanging several punches back and forth.

She began to spin around in the air, Krayze placed a paw on her stomach, burst of magic pushing into her. A loud shriek was heard while her grip loosened. He growled as his eyes were filled with hatred, his paw held onto her leg before letting himself fall downwards.

With a mighty swing he knew how to spin the female off balance, throwing her downwards followed by another magic burst. He began to lower again, the female crashed into the earth with a loud sound. Her eyes closed in pain as her wings slowly brought her up on her feet again.

Krayze closed his eyes, shaking his head as he still couldn't believe what just happened. Felicia raised her hand, gathering the dust around her while mumbling words. "Your life span has ended" she spoke slowly, Krayze opening his eyes as he found himself gaining speed while reaching the ground.

His paws grasped together while channeling all his energy towards them. He slowly felt all energy gathered in his paws, bringing into his right paw while using his left paw to tug his sword close. It was the only sword he still had.

As he reached the ground he quickly fired off a strong gust of wind magic, making him propel towards Felicia who had placed her hands together. Her eyes still closed, feeling how Krayze had lunged his sword forward, pressing it into her chest as he crashed right into her.

They fell back onto the ground, Krayze groaned in pain, the knock back on the magic was strong enough to deplete all his energy. Huffing out softly to feel his form fading, markings returning to green. Felicia was lying underneath Scy, her chest impaled with the last blade he had.

"You killed my partner, you mocked us, and now I shall make you feel the same pain I have" Scy said before slowly pushing his blade deeper. Felicia coughed, grinning while her hands grasped the same blade. "My oh my, you think you can kill me? Go for it" she spoke, Scy lunging his paw to her throat in anger. "I shall rip you up in pieces!" he said in anger, his blade ripping up and down, blood began to gush out of the female.

She saw her blood being spilled, shaking her head as her veins began to thicken. "Poor you, all alone..." she continued, making the dragon iguana enraged. He pulled out his blade and growled loud, with a quick swing he cut through her throat. "Screw you" he said in anger, Felicia's eyes rolled back in her head in response, her throat fully cut open.

Scy breathed heavily, worn out from his sudden burst of rage, the fact his partner got pierced began to work in as well. He stepped away from Felicia, stumbling towards his partner. Sitting down next to him while placing a paw on his chest, it was pierced open and blood had covered his body. "No...Damnit..." Scy said, feeling how tears began to roll down his face.

His eyes went blank, images of a bright sunset appeared, he and Darvo were sitting next to each other while someone walked towards them. A sudden stinging pain woke him up again, gazing down to see how a blade had cut through him. Eyes wide while he felt how a hand was laid on his shoulder.

"Poor, poor Scythe, unable to watch this world burn as I will destroy all kingdoms and reign supreme" Felicia spoke, her shoulder digging into Scy's flesh. He slowly brought his paws above him, grabbing hold of Felicia before quickly throwing her over his head.

Felicia let go of her dust sword, which shattered again before floating towards her, Scy groaned in pain while he felt his blood draining from the opened wound. He crawled up, holding one paw against his open wound while moving towards the downed Felicia.

Her wounds were open, no blood was coming out anymore and her veins were drained out. "You should be dead...Just...Just like Jax" Scy coughed out, sitting on top of Felicia again. His paws held onto her head, their eyes meeting.

"Goodbye..."Scy said, his paws swinging around, about to break Felicia's neck fully. She grinned, her eyes widening before time froze. Colors began to gray out, Scy unable to move, creating a wider grin on Felicia's face.

"We will meet again" She mumbled softly, lights began to flicker in the grayed out scenery, dust engulfing the area. The lights began to flicker in response to Felicia's mumbling voice, she was chanting whilst her body began to light up.

"We will fight, again. And next time, I'll make sure you won't be able to stand up ever again" she continued before color returned. A bright blast of magic filled the room, walls began to crumble as Scy fell how his body got blown away by the magic. A tremble was spreading through whole Histoirea, bright light blinding Scy who groaned in response.

He felt the heavy stinging pain fade away, the ground underneath him began to disappear, unable to look around as bright light still blinded his vision. A loud noise was heard in the distance, it began to swallow all other noise before it fully stopped. Leaving the dragon iguana in an empty space.

"Scy! Wake up!" came from the distance, Scy opening his eyes in response while yawning softly. "Yeah yeah, I'm up" He replied, turning his head to see how Darvo sat down next to him. He smiled before leaning in, their lips connecting as he gave a quick kiss "Good, hey, I brought someone along for the mission. He couldn't stop whining" Darvo said afterward.

Scy sighed before shaking his head with a laugh "Let me guess" he spoke before he got cut off by a loud laughter "Yeah I know, sorry! I just couldn't help it, I've never seen the ruins of Varity you know?" A jackal in a long black trench coat said while stretching out.

"Hey Jax, how is the guild?" Scy said while hopping up, walking towards Jax with a grin. They shook hands while the jackal shrugged in reply "The usual, they come for a job and I supply them with offers" Jax widened his eyes as he saw their goal in the distance.

"So that is Varity? Or well, what is left of it?" He said while pointing his finger to a ruined tree in the far distance. Scy nodded while turning his gaze back to the tree "Yeah, it's supposed to be destroyed during a battle between the deity and the capital"

"Yeah, which makes no sense, as where would this fit in the history time line?" Darvo continued while raising his shoulders "I tell you, there is something wrong with our..." He stopped talking, his head becoming heavy. He changed his gaze to the other two, seeing how they too began clutching their heads.

They saw how a woman was fighting Darvo and Scy after she killed Jax. Drawing out Darvo's life by a dust spear before she nearly got killed by Scy. With her last powers she knew how to bend the time line, returning the time while keeping all destruction that she created. Images of a giant dragon, hatching out an egg began to bestow them with information about this so called empress of time.

A sudden tremble woke the three some up, their eyes looking at each other before frowning. "I guess, something in this time isn't correct huh?" Jax said. Scy pointing to the distance, seeing how a large beast was headed their way. It's arms were covered with spiked chains, his head cut open, a single eye looking around with rapid speed.

"I guess Varity kingdom is our destination, what do we do with this guy?" Jax said, unsheathing two whip blades, slashing the whips against the ground in front of him. Darvo sighed and got up with a shrug "I guess we should destroy this monster, head to Varity and we'll see from there?" Darvo nodded, swinging his blades around by twirling the robes that were attached.

"Let's find answers to this corrupted history" Scy spoke before running towards the beast.
