Chapter 22 Immortality

"Think, there has to be someway to help her find the holy grail!" Hecrydos yelled facing Eudora
"There is no way, we lost," Eudora said.
Hecrydos suddenly grabbed Eudora by the neck in anger.
"I never lose!" Hecrydos yelled and dropped her to the ground.
Suddenly, Vanessa gasped as a memory flashed through her head.
"Yes, you did it" Vanessa said, smiling
"What? What did you see?" Hecrydos asked.
"They brought my past to reality, they plan on using her to get the holy grail before we do." Vanessa said.
"Then, I'll kill her!" Hecrydos said and picked up his battle axe.
"Wait, don't!" Vanessa stopped him as he walked out.
"She's my past, what she sees, I see, what she hears, I hear, what she knows, I know," Vanessa said.
"Brilliant, we'll let them find it, then we will take it from them, it'll just like snatching candy from a baby," Hecrydos said, smiling.
*.    *.    *. 
"How do I get where the holy grail is?" Vanessa asked.
"There's no complex process to it, just close your eyes and call on it," Rafi said.
Vanessa closed her eyes but opened it as rustling of leaves got closer and closer.
Eugeus, Vinson and Toshiba then came into the light of the fire.
"Lucille!" Toshiba said running towards Lucille and hugging her.
"What happened, why is the Queen outside and not in the castle?" Eugeus asked.
"We'll brief you later, for now, we need to do something," Matthew said.
Vanessa closed her eyes and a voice began to speak to her.
"In me, lies immortality, you shall find me in the hall of history," Vanessa then suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's in the hall of history."
*.      *.      *.
"All clear," Author said as they sneaked to the hall of history.
Author then opened the door to the hall of history and they all entered.
"What now," Amber asked.
" We search around" Vanessa said.

"I found nothing," Raymelle said.
"Same here," Matthew said as they all came together.
Vanessa then looked around and spotted some frames hung on the wall with paintings on them.
"What are this?". Vanessa asked.
"The sacred symbols" Rafi said.
Vanessa then spotted one of them with the painting of the holy grail on it.
"Is that....."
"The holy grail, yes," Rafi said, completing and answering Vanessa's question.
Vanessa picked the frame with the painting of the holy grail on it.
"In me lies immortality," Vanessa said, reading out the words written out on it and then remembered the voice in her head. She placed her hands on the surface of the frame and surprisingly her hand entered it as she pulled out the holy grail.
"Wow," they all exclaimed.
"Let me see it," Author said and collected it from Vanessa.
Suddenly the door to the hall of history opened and Hecrydos, Vanessa and Eudora stepped in making Vanessa's past slowly wither away.
Vanessa grabbed Toshiba who was close to her and held a knife to his throat.
"Now, Author slowly step forward and hand over the grail," Vanessa said.
"Author don't, open a portal and leave, hungh, hungh, all of you, leave," Toshiba said.
"Do it," Eudora said and Vanessa slowly swiftly cut through Toshiba's throat, allowing him fall to the ground, dead.
"Toshibaaaaaa!" Lucille shouted.
"Now, hold the knife to your throat," Hecrydos said and Vanessa held the knife to her own throat.
"Vanessa don't," Author said.
"Do it, he'll break," Eudora said and Vanessa began to slowly cut through her throat.
"Okay, okay, stop," Author said and Vanessa stopped with blood slowly glowing down her neck.
"But first, let them go," Author said and opened a portal which Tania, Raymelle, Lucille, Hudson, Richie, Amber, Matthew and Rafi entered.
Author slowly stepped forward and handed over the holy grail to Hecrydos.
Hecrydos immediately slit his own hand, allowing his blood to flow into the grail. He then drank the blood from the grail making a crimson light burst out from his body.
"Finally, I am immortal!"
Hecrydos said and smashed the holy grail with his axe, making it shatter to the ground.
Unaware, Author quickly opened a portal, dragging Vanessa who was now unconscious into it with the pieces of the holy grail.
*.      *.     *. 
"Vanessa is that you?" Matthew said as Vanessa slowly opened her eyes.
"Yes,"
"Do you remembered what happened?" Author asked.
"Oh no, I killed Toshiba!" Vanessa said remembering everything that had happened.
"Don't worry, that was not you" Hudson said.
"How do we defeat Hecrydos now?" Vanessa asked.
"The holy grail is the only thing that can defeat him but he destroyed it," Matthew said.
"All that is left is the pieces and little hope," Author said.
"The pieces!" Rafi said.
"What?" Patricia asked.
"We could restore the holy grail with the Acrylys since we still have the pieces," Rafi said.

"No one has ever done this in 93 yrs," Rafi said as he opened a door at the back trunk of the Acrylys with a bright white light glowing from it.
Vanessa, carrying the pieces of the holy grail and and appeared in a beach. She looked forward and standing by the beach was Jace staring out into the ocean with his hands behind his back.
Vanessa walked towards him and dropped the pieces of the holy grail on the floor.
"Why have you decided to push me away entirely from your life," Jace asked and faced Vanessa.
"You left me Jace, you left me!" Vanessa cried out.
"No I didn't, I was with you but you pushed me away," Jace said and Vanessa looked into the waters to see Tania carrying her baby.
"You became a slave to fear," Jace continued.
"I was never afraid, I was only angry at your death!" Vanessa said.
"You were afraid to face your past, so you because angry to hide the truth, you let yourself get subdued by fear," Jace said.
"That's enough, I'm here just to restore the holy grail," Vanessa said.
"It's right there in the middle of the ocean, you can go get it" Jace said looking at the holy grail floating on the surface of the ocean, far away.
"You could have at least told me that you were going." Vanessa said.
"If I did, you would have begged me and I wouldn't be able to say no." Jace said.
"Hecrydos broke free anyway, you died in vain!" Vanessa said.
"No my death is reason for all of this." Jace said and Vanessa ran towards him, kissing him.
"Now, you are ready." Jace said breaking the kiss.
Vanessa then looked down to see the holy grail, now restored on the floor.

The door of the Acrylys opened and Vanessa ran out holding the holy grail, crying.
"Where's my baby?" Vanessa asked handing the holy grail to Rafi then carrying her baby from Tania.
"Jaden." she said softly with a bleak smile.
***
"Finally, prime fire is here." Hecrydos said smiling.
The door to the throne room then opened and Vanessa stepped in, accompanied by the others.
"There's nothing you can do child, I'm immortal now." Hecrydos said.
"The holy grail made you immortal, it'll be the one to destroy you." Matthew said.
"It's a pity I destroyed it already." Hecrydos said.
"Did you?" Vanessa said, bringing out the holy grail making Hecrydos look at it in fear and surprise.
Vanessa then pointed the holy grail at him making a beam of light shoot out of it at him, weakening him.
"I started prime fire already, it'll be here in three hours." Hecrydos said.
"I created a field around Vardasia, it was won't kill us." Author said.
"Maybe, but you'll be dead in three days, immediately after prime fire, a Lunar eclipse will strike and it won't leave for 21 days." Hecrydos said and swiftly picked a knife and threw it sending it lodging itself in Author's throat.
"Authooor!" Vanessa screamed.
