Destruction…

Kaylin's lips twisted into a cruel snarl. She released her Zephyr, causing the train to come to a crashing halt. Stepping out of the Light Train, Kaylin looked around at the desolate wasteland.

The snow-packed tundra stretched for miles. She could see Darus in the distance, and gathering her Zephyr, concentrated it into a swirling storm and forced it onto him. Kaylin approached him as he staggered under the icy blast. Reaching up with her Zephyr, she tugged at the few stars that sparkled behind the heavy clouds. They fell around Darus, making hissing sounds as they burned holes in the frozen tundra. She heard his screams, but he didn't move.

Reaching the spot where he stood, Kaylin forced a still-burning star to sizzle a hole through the frozen land into the icy waters below. As the hole grew, and the water boiled from the star's heat, Darus began to laugh. A harsh, rasping sound, Kaylin narrowed her eyes and looked at her nemesis.

"Do you really think you will be able to destroy me this way?" he demanded.

"I will destroy you any way I must, so I can return home." Kaylin knew there was a hook in his question, meant to lure her, but she couldn't pin-point it.

"If you destroy me, you destroy your only chance of going home, kitling." Darus' voice was reasonable; too reasonable. He was hiding something.

"I don't believe you." She narrowed her eyes further.

"Why do you think Tokyo looked like it did? Why they all do? You left, and your Zephyr ran wild, no one to control it any longer. I need to make sure you don't leave again…"

Holding her breath, Kaylin jumped into the boiling water, feet first, barely escaping the scimitar Darus swung at her neck. Feeling the next gate opening, she knew he was right… She couldn't leave; not now, not ever.
