trial of the crossed sword

place: ???

aria blaze's p.o.v.

augh, did anyone catch that bus? *drip, drip, drip,*  I hear something, water, precious water.

I open my left eye then my right one I'm in a cavern a circular platform in the center the air had the distinct bite of winter frost. I look at my arms,  body and legs human ugh and I was covered head to toe in bear skins. I realize I'm alone when I see sonata's jewel fragments black opaque and lifeless along with adagio's gem stone in similar condition. music above! she sold her powerless life for a hellish one.

she unsheathes two fine double eager knives each inscribed one "sonata, a loving sister" the other "adagio, a strong sister".

my cell door opens and one of my jailers is unrecognizable heap of metal it takes me to my meal: loaf of bread, glass of water, a hunk of cheese and some bacon strips. at least i think it was bacon.

then back to my cell.

soon a wendigo watch me that night i try to sing, talk, anything but to no avail. i cruse my self this realm was the icy wast of hell and try to sleep.

next morning i hear roll call "level B7, A block, wall 3, cell 0985 you been given a chance to leave. your opponents will be your sins. do you understand?"

i nod my acceptance. all i could do really. but now, now i had a fighting chance.

time jump

swordplay sung with knives and had my sisters! whoa? am i going crazy? no. i'm good. just . . . just i'm scared and alone. makes me want to listen to sonata prattle. wow, i can't believe i thought that.

my foe wielded a grate ax over it's metal shoulder. without warning the thing attacked. i jump to dodge then i evade for my life. just as i figured my enemy was not going to tire anytime soon. i started to look for weak points but my blood was pounding in my ears . . . . like a drum! if there was a instrument i could always sing to it is the heaven send drum. seeing my tormenter's helmet was my ticket outta'her!

but that ax is the worst, man now I miss sonata more now. what would adagio do? heh, this is what I'm restoring to?

I cut both of my pigtails twist and tie into a noose and attach to my adagio dagger. and hook me myself and I a steel clad boot. not waiting for my opponent to get free from my little trap. I buck the big overgrown hatchet of stage. with a running start I jump and release my inner bongo star! boom ban da boom ban da boom! my enemy, it collapsed and a white siren with icy blue eyes.

I bow cause the fact she's a siren not just that she was ancient as well as gorgeous.

"rise my child of rage, while your blades will always be sharpest. BE WARNDED,you must be careful not to cut what means most. such is the way of attack magic. it been a pleasure meeting you my child, daughter of Aquafina mother of the sirens. now take the mage power key and do mind the dagger in your mouth young lady. less you come back, then your sins won't be as forgiving."

that's when the seen faded to merciful black.
