The rain poured on Eto but he could only hear sounds as his eyes were closed.

The rain, fires going out, fires still burning and the troubled sounds of panic.

Why did Eto feel so weird? He knew what he had to do but why was he struggling?

He opened his eyes and saw the top of the trees where he was laying on getting wet from the rain.

It took some time but the shouting from the creature the princess called brother could be heard.

Why was her brother doing this? What was happening?

Eto couldn’t understand. The fighting between the creatures, her brother fighting like this. Why was it all necessary?

Slowly, Eto stood up. He could feel his body becoming sore but he tried to ignore it.

In the distance, the giant creature rampaged, getting closer to the giant tree. The giant tree where Eto was smacked against.

Eto spit and he could see blood falling on the leaves.

He didn’t want to hurt him. He was the brother of the princess. And she was his friend.

Eto saw it all happening.

The tortoise flew in the air, unleashed water to bring down the fires faster.

He saw Djon, Hawk and that warrior from the princess escorting as many as possible to safety.

They all did their part. And it was time he was gonna do his.

Eto stretched his arm in front of him towards the creature in the distance.

‘Let’s try this again,’ Eto mumbled.

Rings around his skin started to glow.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

‘Ring formation,’ he whispered.

He could feel the light charging, just as it would when he needed to jump and punch, only this time it felt channeled.

The light shone bright and it caught the attention of the creature.

It yelled and started to run towards Eto.

‘Almost,’ Eto said as he waited for the perfect opportunity.

When he thought the creature was near enough, Eto unleashed his attack.

The rings shot away from his arm, forming a real ring of light rushing towards the creature, getting bigger and bigger as it moved.

The impact was near but the creature somehow managed to grab the ring, holding the light as it tried to push against him.

But Eto was quick.

He jumped ahead with a charge and while the creature was occupied with holding the ring of light, Eto punched him with a glowing fist on it’s chest.

The creature screeched, throwing the ring in the air to disappear as it was pushed back.

Eto came down and in a moment when he saw the creature falling behind, he saw an opening.

Inside the storm of dirt and branches which was the creature, a star shard could be seen. Only this time it seemed different.

A purple light pulsed from it and Eto wondered what kind of shard it was.

The creature put his feet down, stopping himself from moving and he jumped forward, meeting Eto in the air to strike.

What followed was an intense battle with Eto trying to punch his way through the creature, leaving trails of branches and dirt everywhere.

Sometimes, the creature managed to grab Eto and swing him away, letting him impact on something hard.

The fight kept going and it didn’t seem to get a winner.

The creature dove down to attack Eto’s feet and just as he wanted to block the attack, Eto fell for the trap.

The creature’s entire body turned quickly, slamming Eto hard and pushing him back against the giant tree again.

This is not gonna work, Eto thought as he started to cough some blood.

The creature ran towards him, ready to finish the job.

There may only be one way to do it, Eto thought and he remembered the fight against Ased, and his attacks against Eto’s star shard.

The creature was near and Eto felt that this was his last energy and chance.

Eto bended his knees, pouring all of the energy he had left to his legs who started to glow.

The creature ran wild, sure he would finish his target soon.

‘Almost,’ Eto said.

He could feel the energy in his legs overflow and when he looked up to see the creature near him, he let go.

With an insane speed and impact, Eto jumped forward, going through the arms of the creature trying to block him, and getting inside the storm of branches and sand which was the monster.

Fast and hard enough to reach what he had seen earlier.

The purple star shard which floated inside the creature.
