Elements of War (the Yuritu story)

[Yuritu]

well well. heres the next chapter... im doing this on a daily basis now, just for the heck of it.. im really eager to post my story and finish up writing it.. and by the looks of it, the story will in fact be more than 18.. but not much more..

Part 11 - Further dispare

It has been long now since Zharda had fallen in love with Celia.. They stayed together for sever weeks after Yuritu had gone missing.. They had spent about 2 months together now.. They would never leave eachothers side.. After a long 2 months of piece, it was finally broken... One day they had gone out to the nearest town to buy food supplies... It was just like any other trip into town, when Zharda spots Alvaren walking around just up ahead.. Zharda tryes to avoid going into that direction so he can avoid conferntation... Celia finds it odd that Zhardas mood suddenly became kind of panicy.. Zharda said it was nothing and they continued shopping but avoiding Alvaren..

Yudin wandered the plains alone.. constantly in search of Yuritu's place of imprisonment.. She never found any sign of Yuritu.. She only followed the trail of stained grass that the beings left behind..(their bodys stain the grass as they walk over them..) The trail suddenly ended near the town where Zharda and Alvaren were, but the trail itself ended at the edge of a cliff... There was nothing but a river at the bottom and the walls had no crevises... puzzled she tries to find a way down to the river.. Just then she saw three figures standing near the gates of the town...

Even after trying to avoid Alvaren, Zharda was still spotted.. Zharda noticed Alvaren approaching him quickly.. He rushed Celia out of the borders of town.. He told her to hide, but she refused to go because she had no idea what was happening... Alvaren found them quickly, and soon they were facing off.. Alvaren soon came to realize that Zharda had fallen in love with the woman behind him.. Alvaren began to tell him that he was not permitted to feel for any of the humans living on the world... Zharda disagreed with him, this angered Alvaren, so as punishment he killed her.... Zharda was shocked.. he couldnt move or speak, he could only feel the warmth of his tears roll down his cheeks... Alvaren told him how weak he was for caring, and soon they fought.. Zharda lost beacause he was still disoriented by the recent tragety.. Alvaren was about to finish him off, but Yudin interveined.. She hit Alvaren with her hardest fire blast.. He was caught off guard, and in a panic he teleported away... Yudin then came to Zhardas aid, and she tried to help Celia but she was already dead.......

[Unbrokin Silence]

[Yuritu]

as far as i know deep means that it has a thourogh story line.. and as for that.. i have been working on this story for a long time so...

Part 12 - Lies..

Yudin had defended Zharda, but could not save Celia.. She took Zharda to the nearest hospital where he would recover.. After he awoke for the first time, he was alone.. He clearly remembered the events that took place... Yudin came in to check on him (this was only a few hours after she brought him in..) Zharda was puzzled as to why she saved him.. She told him that she did not see any reason in hating him, and was willing to help.. She told him that she could not save the woman with him, this saddened him greatly.. She felt bad telling him this. Then he asked why she had come to this place in the first place.. She told Zharda everything about what happened, and again he was saddened by the news... Zharda soon realized that he no reason to fight, he was no longer blind to the tyrany of the spirits.. He agreed to go with Yudin to seek out Yuritu...

Yuritu sat quietly in a small stone room.. He had been here for weeks, living off the small stream and plant life that was in the room.. He had heard very little from the spirits, they had only tried to convince him to fight.. He was certain at times they tried to brainwash him... Then one day, on the same day that Celia had died and Zharda had fallen, the spirits spoke to him agian.. But this time not in words.. He soon was dreaming.. dreaming of his sister, Lor.. He was remembering all the times he spent with her.. Up until the time she died.. But in this dream, he was shown Lor and Alvaren near the edge of the cliff against a sunset.. The sky was clear.. He saw himself running towards them happy to see them both.. Then from this memory, he was shown something new.. He saw a spark, come from his hand as he reached out to them.. The spark grew and flew into the sky, it caused a massive lightening bolt to strike down Lor and Alvaren.. Killing them both instantly.. Yuritu awoke.. He cried out to the spirits in tears. He tried to refuse to believe that he himself had killed his own sister.. That he had the powers of wind even before all of this.. He refused to believe, but soon the spirits convinced him that it was his fault...

[Yuritu]

im posting 2 today simply cuz i forgot yesterday.. haha kinda busy yesterday.. well anyways heres 13..

part 13 - rescue

"Your fault Yuritu.. It was all your fault.." Poisonous words continually echoed through his head as he sat alone in the dark.... He waited patiently, quietly either for the voices to stop or for someone to come rescue him.. He would once in a while mutter Yudins name...

Zharda was now fully recovered and now him and Yudin could continue to search for Yuritu.. They followed the trail to the cliffside and then decided to decend it.. They reached the bottom on a small ledge along side a raging river.. They followed the ledge until it reached a cave.. It was dark inside so Yudin had to use her fire to light the way... They wandered up hill for a long way into a nearby mountain. They finally reached level ground but the path led off into two ways. Zharda agreed to go off one way while Yudin the other..

Zharda walked down a dark path, occasionaly there were streams of light from cracks in the walls.. He wandered for some time, feeling his way around before he heard a voice... It was a familiar voice... It spoke to him softly, in a deceiving way.. It told him he had no use for feelings, he was a warrior.. It was the voice of his general from back in the war.. He spoke to him telling him to forget.. And he forgot.. Zharda's mind was erased of all recent events recreating him as the warrior he was before Celia..

Yudin wandered alone in the dark tunnel using her fire as light.. She wished shed sent a light with Zharda, but there was no way to.. After much wandering she too hears a voice.. It tells her that Yuritu is dead and she is to go back... She ignores it at first but the voice starts to make sence to her and she starts to turn back.. Then she realizes whats happening and she continues on.. Sure enough she finds a locked wood door.. She tres to break the lock, but its sealed with magic.. She then burns the door down and finds Yuritu sitting quietly in the cell next to a small stream.. He looks up at her with a weak smile... Then stands up and walks to her, they hug and begin to exit the dungeon.. After wandering a while they became lost.. They stumbled across a chamber with a circle of pillers in the middle and a long hall on one side.. they could see light from the end of the hall.. They found a way out...

[RoyLover]

Yes, interesting story, indeed, Yuritu! Keep the story going! As I must TRY to continue mine! I can't wait for my story to get into action...only two more chapters before Roy, Eyrios, and Mary fight in a battle!

[Unbrokin Silence]

[Yuritu]

okie.. heres todays chapter.. ive run down the number of chapters now and i guess 20-22... i cant wait to actualy start on the manga.. buuut fir all those who read this, if you find any flaws in the plot post them down.. i wanna work out any if there is some..

part 14 - escape into nowhere

Yuritu and Yudin entered the hall into the circle of pillars.. They took a quick look around before they decided to head out the long passage that lead to daylight.. Before they could leave the circle they were surrounded by the 4 spirits themselves.. They told them that is was not in their interest to defy them.. Yuritu then decided it was a good time to learn something.. He asked them the one question on his mind now.. He asked if it was true that he killed his own sister.. Yudin was shocked to hear this asked.. They answered that it indeed was his fault.. Yuritu then became quiet.. Yudin then walked closer, and asked why they were even doing this war.. The answer was what Yuritu had learned before.. They simply did not wish to coexist.. Then Yudin asked why they needed the 4 of them to do the dirty work and kill eachother.. The answer was that as being spirits they had not the power to kill eachother so they got these 4 to kill eachother, having it so that if one of them died the element would also die.. Then the 4 spirits decided to try and kill off Yuritu and Yudin there..

The two of them managed to run past the spirits into the long hallway that led to daylight.. The four spirits chased the two down trying to hit them with elemental powers.. They managed to hide in holes in the wall until they reached the light at the end.. When they emerged they were standing on the edge of a cliff with no way down.. They were cornered... The 4 spirits had closed in when Yuritu took Yudins hand and they jumped......

Zharda wandered the caves alone, his head hurting as his memories were being erased... He had let himself become like this because he had decied he had nothing left to live for.. He then became the warrior he was... After a while he found his way out of the cave and into daylight.. Ready to hunt down the other 3 warriors of magic....

[Yuritu]

well heres chpater 15.. i almost forgot to post it today.. hahaha.. well anyways its here for ur enjoyment.. ive decided on the number of chapters to be 21-22 for sure.. so this is more like 3 quarters thru..

part 15 - dispare for lies..

Falling into the clouds, strait down, Yudin was scared yet Yuritu seemed oddly calm.. When the ground was visible and closing in fast he had used a gust of wind to land them saftly.. Yudin looked at him caringly.. She began to cry and huged him... Yuritu stood limply without care.. Yudin asked what was wrong... She got no reply... Instead Yuritu ran off into the field on his own, as he ran he began to cry.. Yudin chased after him, though he ran alot faster.. Eventualy he stopped in the field and collapsed into the grass... Yudin ran up next to him and asked again what was wrong.. All he could reply was.. "It was my fault.. I killed her..." ... She looked at him then sat next to him. She took his hand, and he looked over into her eyes.. She told him that it was ok.. That it was over, he had no reason to cry anymore.. She knew what he ment.. Yudin told him that even though it was his fault it was an accident, that he was not aware he was born with the powers of wind.. After much consoling, Yuritu eventaly got to his feet, and huged Yudin.. They then talked for a while, Yudin telling him of what had happened to her after he was kindaped.. Then Yuritu knew after hearing about Zharda that there was still good left in the hearts of the other two warriors and asked Yudin to join him on a quest to get Alvaren and Zharda to join with them.

Alvaren walked quietly alone, still feeling the scar of fire on his back... He had teleported without notice because of that fire.. Little did he know but he was near the very spot where he and Lor had died that one day many years ago... When he reached that point he saw two graves.. One marked with Lor's name the other with his.. He looked at the graves curiously... Then suddenly a flash of memory came back to him.. He saw himself falling and reaching up to a woman who was lying half off a cliff... Then it dissapeared. That memory started to get him thinking.. Was there more to his life than just fighting as a warrior for the spirits? The thought confused him.. Then he heard the water spirit speak to him.. It told him these memories are nothing, just his imagination trying to come up with a reason for what he saw on the tombstones.. It told Alvaren that his name was on there but it was infact just another person with the same name.. He beleived the spirits story and continued on searching for the other 3 warriors.....

[Yuritu]

part - 16 mysteries reborn

Upon wandering, Yuritu and Yudin come across a small town.. Yuritu remembers food.. He tells Yudin that hes hungry, and they go off into town to have something to eat.. They sit down at a restaurant to eat they discuss the actions of the elements. Then Yudin wonders whatever happened to Zharda, they left in such a hurry they had no time to look for him.. She begins to worry about what happened to him.. As she stares off outside with a blank look wile she thinks, Yuritu pulls a picture out of his cloths... He looks at the picture carefuly and a tear swells up in his eye... Yudin looks back at him... She asks wuts wrong, Yuritu shows her the picture of his sister Lor.. "You remember her don't you?.. You were with here for so many years.. My sister...." Yudin looked at the picture and remembered the days the three of them spent together... She told Yuritu what she remembered of Lor, and how she was a close friend through her hard time of losing a man named Zharda.. Then it struck them both... Zharda, the very man that they had lost in the caves was the man that Lor had loved so many years back... He had gone missing in war, and now he was back again..Then suddenly the name Alvaren came back into Yuritu's head.. Alvaren was the name of Lor's wife... The man that had supposedly died on the cliff that day was hunting them.. Yuritu told Yudin all of this and she too was quite suprised...

That night, they had stayed at an inn.. While Yudin was sleeping Yuritu made a decision.. He decided that he would go to find Zharda and Alvaren and tell them of what he has learned.. But he decided to do it alone, he did not want Yudin getting hurt... He knew Zharda was on their side now.. But in his heart he could not give up the feeling that he wasnt... And he already knew how much of a threat Alvaren was... So he snuck out in the middle of the night in search of them both....

That night Zharda had wandered the same path as Yudin and Yuritu but at a slower pace... They were hard to track down... Upon the pathway he came across a dark figure.. It wore a long jacket that blew in the wind.."I was looking for you..." Alvaren said.....................

[Yuritu]

okie.. well on chapter 17.. theres 21 in total.. well again any suggestions of any sort.. say them.. ahem.. well i hope you enjoy my story anyways.. hahah..its nearing its closing. T_T

part - 17 together at last

Yuritu ran out of town trying to avoid beeing seen... Though he knew he would be spotted by someone.. After he left town he wandered off into the fields in search of Alvaren and Zharda.. Though to him Alvaren was top priority.

Alvaren had challanged Zharda out in the field just as Yuritu was sneaking out of the inn.. They fought very little and left little injury on eachother.. The sun was beggining to rise.. As they fought Zharda noticed a figure walking in the distance.. Alvaren saw it too.. He knew imidiatly who it wa.. It was Yuritu! Alvaren dashed off towards him, Zharda chased after because their battle was not over... Yuritu saw them coming and prepared himself.. The two of them stopped infront of him.. Zharda started yelling at Alvaren that they had not finished their fight.. Yuritu annoucned to them both that he had something to do with the both of them.. They were confused and were about to fight him.... Yuritu told them about his sister, he told them that they once knew her... At the sound of Lor's name they both began to have flash backs.. None of witch made any sence yet... He began to tell Zharda how he once knew her and loved her.. Then before he could finish Alvaren had began to fight him.. Yuritu did not fight back, instead he did his best to tell his story.. He began to tell Alvaren about how he married his sister and that he and Lor were killed on the cliff that day.. Alvaren stops his attacks and he begins to struggle to comprehend the memories that are flooding back..

By now its daylight and Yudin was waking up.. Afterwards she realized that Yuritu was gone.. She panicked and ran off out into the streets. The innkeeper comes out and tells her that he saw Yuritu heading out of town later at night while he was out on a walk back from the bar.. She then runs out after him...

Yuritu now had both Alvaren and Zharda trying to remember.. Alvaren refused the memories and tried to attack Yuritu, but before he could Yuritu pulled out the picture of her.. The picture was like a sudden shock to the memory. And suddenly the two of them after seeing the pic fully remembered their times with Lor... And not to long after they remembered who they were fully.. They stood up and looked around.. They questioned what they had done and forgot all about the goals of the spirits.. Yudin ran up and was supriesed to see Alvaren and Zharda standing near Yuritu. She began to get ready to fight, but Yuritu stops her.. Alvaren and Zharda walk up to Yuritu and put their hands on his shoulder.. Zharda starts, "Thank you Yuritu... I was blind.." Alvaren then speaks.."As the brother of the one I loved.. I will stand by your side to the end.. Thank you Yuritu.." Zharda then finishes.."I will do the same.. I will be with you until the end.." Yuritu thanks them.. Then Yudin walks up to him... "Please dont ever leave my side again.. I wish to do the same.. I will be with you always as well..." And the four of them were now together.. And together they declared to seek out the spirits to finish the war..

[Yuritu]

Well as time goes on, even with a seemingly complete storyline, it seems there is something that is going to be added into one of the earlier chapters.. not now, but when it is added ill post.. anyway..

part 18 - recolections

The four traveled together for the first time. They decided to head to a place far from civilization since they did not wish to see innocent people get involved.. Along the way they got to talking.. Yuritu had asked Alvaren what had happened after he died that day long ago.. He said that he could not remember.. He told them that he remembered everything before that, about his life with Lor.. Then there was like a blank spot in his memory, that he could not remember his death.. Then he could remember everything after he had awakened as a warrior for water... That blank spot in his memory seemed odd to him as he told.. Then Zharda announced that he too had a blank spot in his memory.. He remembered his life before, his time with Lor and his time in the army.. Then there was that blank... Then he remembered all the events that occured as a warrior for earth.. Yuritu and Yudin did not find it odd, they dismissed it as the times when they were perhaps dead, thusly they would have no memory there..

They continued walking through the endless fields scarred by the war many years ago.. They had entered an area that was once a field used for war, and it was all grown over with grass.. They were walking then Yuritu remembered something it wasnt really that important, but he asked anyway.. He asked Yudin why it was that she did not show up that day that they were to meet him, Lor and Alvaren on the cliffside that day.. She told Yuritu of her hometown being attacked in the war four years before that occured.. She said that she had evacuated from the town and had ran into hiding from the war.. But when she looked back to remember her hometowns attack.. She recalled that infact is was not the wars doing.. She remembered being confused when she saw a figure, almost a specter burning the houses with just its body.. She told Yuritu that she did not go that day because she was not in her town to receive the letter inviting her out.. Yuritu is shocked to hear this, to hear that not only her town burned down but that it was the doing of this spectre.. Yudin then decided that it was infact the doing of one of the spirits.. Then as Yuritu recalled that day long ago when lightening struck down Alvaren and Lor, he beleived less that it was his doing.. Then when he thought about it, Alvaren had fallen into the river.. He was most likely revived from death in that river.. They were all discussing this now.. Then as Zharda recalled, he remembered breifly a large storm of rocks.. The three of them then realized why they became the elements they are, they are the elements that they witnissed in destruction... They found it more peculiar that the spirits were destroying human towns and lives when it was their war.. With these questions in mind they continued on their journey......

[Yuritu]

Well this chapter is very important for understanding the plot.. This is the huuuge explanation chapter... so pay attention..... :D



part 19 - showdown

The four have been traveling for some days.. After just a short time they had become good friends, and as it seems all the hate that had taken place before was forgotten.. One day on their travels, they stopped in a large open field for a rest.. They decided to stop here for a while, the area was far enough away from civilization.. After camping for a day there what they had journeyed for was before them.. The four spirits appeared the next afternoon. The spirits then began with questions... They asked why it was that they were together now, instead of fighting... They answered that they had returned to their old selves and had decided to help the brother of the one that brought them all together.. Then Yuritu asked the only question on his mind.. "Was it me that killed my sister?!" The spirits were silent... They said they could see into their minds and they saw that the four of them knew that the spirits were not who they made themselves out to be.. And for the sake of them knowing they began to tell their story:

"Long ago there was a war.. A great war, one that shook the foundations of the planet.. It lasted for a thousand years.. Many died in hatred of what the world had become.. In hatred of the planet and the people on it.. So much hatred built up from that war that out of that hatred was born four spirits.. Each with its distinct element would claim to be the spirit of the planet.. Their purpose was to destroy all that lived, so that hatred would be no more.. They destroyed villages and town, peoples lives.. And they continued to destroy bit by bit until the wars end... At the end of the war they realized, that there was still a balance in the world.. That the planet had created a counter power out of what love remained on that planet.. Lor was born of that power. A holy warrior, one ment to save the world from destruction.."

Yuritu was shocked to hear that his sister was a holy warrior, that she was created by the planet.. The spirits continued: "Though Lor was a holy warrior, she was born a human and had no idea of her powers.. So Yuritu, you see now? It was us that killed her.. She was an obsticle in our way.."

Yuritu was angered to hear this news.. And he asked the spirits another question, he asked why the four of them were all involved in this fight.. The spirits answered: "When a holy warrior dies they pass on their power to the ones closest to them.. And then with that we decided that the four of you had to be killed.. Alvaren and Zharda may have been already dead, but we brought them back so that they could kill you two.. We granted you the powers of this planet so that when you four died, not only would the holy warrior be dead but the planet along with it.."

Yuritu and the others were shocked by this news.. Zharda then knew why it was that Celia was killed then... He knew she was killed because if he died she would become a holy warrior... The four of them understood fully now what had happened.. The spirits knew they had failed so they decided to kill the four off then..Yuritu then asked them why it was they had not killed the four of them earlier.. They answered that, in fighting them they feared being defeated by them in case their powers grew by the might of the holy warrior.. After those words the four spirits chalanged the four warriors to fight.................

[Yuritu]

ok heres chapter 20... BE AWARE.. this is not the last chapter... tho it does seem to end a bit here.. there is one more chapter to go.... ^_^

part 20 - birth of a holy warrior

The challenge was set, the four warriors of the elements were to face the four spirits.. The battle began, and the four warriors went one on one with the spirits.. Yuritu fighting the wind spirit, Yudin the fire spirit, Zharda the earth spirit, Alvaren the water spirit. The battle the waged on was one sided and did not last long.. The four warriors easly fought the spirits, overpowering them greatly.. Occasionaly they would assist eachother with the battle.. Soon the battle was over, the spirits exhausted.. They began to circle around the four warriors... They began to tell of something new... They began to tell of a greater evil:

"Through the war it was true that the beings of destruction were born, but it was not of four spirits originaly.. At first it was born as Ultima, one being ment to destroy for hatred... That is why when a balance was created there was born only one original holy warrior. But throughout time the holy warrior Lor knew four people whom she cared for very much.. Before the end of the war the power of the holy warrior split into the four of whom she cared for... Thusly Ultima was split into four... But now it was time for Ultima to reawaken.."

As the four spirits circled them the world became dark.. Soon the world they knew vanished away... And all was black... They had been transported to the final battleground the dimention where life and death were as one.. Out of the shadows walked a figure, as it walked forward it formed itself... It wore blue armor and a red cape with a blue cloak.. And in its helmet there glowed one eye on the right... The four warriors knew this to be Ultima so they imidiatly began to attack it.. But their attacks did nothing to it, not a scratch on the armor.. The eye glowed ever brighter and the being grew demon wings out of its back.. They continued to attack it and continued to not damage it.. When Ultima fully formed he fired one dark blast that blared through Yuritu's chest.. He stumbled back in pain.. The other three warriors were in shock, Yudin cried out.. Before Yuritu could fall he was caught by an unknowen person... It was the ghost of his sister Lor. She spoke to him softly: "My dear little brother, you cannot die yet... You have too much to live for.. You still have much strenght left.. Do not dispare for this battle is not over.. You have been entrusted with more power than you know.. You helped and cared for my friends.. Thank you little brother.. But they care for you too, and because of that their part of my powers have been entrusted to you, little brother.. Do you see? You have become the new Holy Warrior.. The one ment to save this world from destruction.. So go now dearest brother! Go defeat this evil!!" She pushed him forward and with that his wound was healed... Ultima fired out a more powerful dark blast at the other three warriors, but before it could hit them Yuritu jumped in the way.. He had grown angel wings from his back and his shield prevented the blast from hitting.. Ultima and Yuritu fought one on one for a wile.. Their battle was even but Yuritu started to power up a final blast.. He was being picked off by Ultima while trying this.. The other three warriors then used all their might to hold Ultima still while Yuritu used his final blast and destroyed him with it.. The final battle was over... The war was over.. And all that was peacful will return....

[Yuritu]

Part 21 - sea of feathers

The world came back into veiw the war was over and piece had returned once again.. The darkness faded and so did Yuritus wings.. The four stood out in the field they had stood in before the battle.. The four stood there in the grass looking at one another... Then Yudin broke the silence and urged them all to head off to town... They traveled for a day and a half.. And before they reached the edge of the town, out in the open fields Zharda and Alvaren stopped.. Yuritu and Yudin turned around and saw them standing there.. Yuritu spoke: "What are you doing?" Zharda spoke back: "It is time Yuritu.." Yuritu and Yudin stared back at them for a second.. Then Yuritu spoke again.."No! Your not leaving us are you?" Alvaren looked down at the ground.. "I hate good byes.." Zharda then followed up.. "We do not belong here.. This is not our world.." Yuritu spoke back.. "But you were revived! Your not dead anymore!!" Tears began to run down his cheeks... Yudin turned away and began to cry, she was speachless.. Zharda spoke up. "Besides we no longer have anything left in this world... There is nothing for us here.." Yuritu looked up and began to yell in his sorrows. "But you have us!! We have eachother!!" Zharda looked down at the ground.. "Im sorry Yuritu, Yudin.. But we do not belong here.. The ones we love are elsewhere.. They are in another place.. And it is there we must go.."..Yuritu hollared back again.."But what about your promise!! Your promised to stay by my side!!" He began to cry more.. Zharda looked at him kindly.. "And i intend to keep that promise," he said," We will be by your side until we can be no more..." Yudin turned around and looked up at them.. "Goodbye..." is all she could muster... Just then the faint images of Celia and Lor came in behind Zharda and Alvaren.. They had wings of angels.. Alvaren and Zharda looked back.. "Lets go home they said..".. Alvaren and Zharda too grew out angel wings.. And together the four of them flew away into the distance leaving a trail of feathers.. Yuritu caught one of the feathers and put it in his pocket, to keep it in memory of these events.. Yudin looked at him teary eyed.. "At least we have eachother.." She said...

One year later.....

Yuritu slipped the ring over Yudins finger.. They looked at eachother with a large smile on their faces... The priest annonced them man and wife.. And at that moment they were wed...They kissed, then after hugged.. Yuritu whispered into Yudins ear.. "I wish they were here..." Yudin smiled more as she looked into the reflection of the church window... "They are here." she said.. Yuritu looked into the reflection as well. There he saw Zharda, Alvaren, Lor, and Celia... They all had big smiles on their faces... Yuritu smiled back and a single tear rolled down his cheek.. Then through the window he saw a feather float by... It was then followed by many... He ran out to the door... Yudin ran up behind him... Yuritu swung open the door and outside was like a sea of feathers.. He then pulled out the feather from that day... The one he kept from the day of departure.. "Goodbye..." he said as he released the feather into the air.............

THE END
