The Magic book of a Mysterious world (Pt24)

"Listen to me" Nageki said gently and softly
So Ryouta looked forward but all he could see was darkness, he saw nothing in his world of blackness. Not only that but...But the voices he heard was tearing his heart in two

"This is all your fault!"
"If you hadn't made that wish!"
"You had to wish things to be different!!"

Ryouta lowered his head but it was pulled back up harshly
"Don't you dare give up!" Nageki voice shouted
"But...This...This is all my fault" Ryouta stuttered

"You weren't the one who found the book nor was you the one who opened it!! No offence Sakuya...Anyways! Don't you dare give up now! You're so close! Two people have already died are you really going to let more people die?!" Nageki snapped

"T...Two people died because of me!!" Ryouta cried while his tears got worse while Nageki watched the bright blue light on his chest shine brighter.
"Th...This is my fault!" Ryouta cried

Nageki was speechless, he has never seen Ryouta cry so much before.
This hurt him to see Ryouta like this

Nageki looked at Sakuya, maybe he could talk sense to him
"Sakuya!" he shouted but Sakuya never reacted to him
"SAKUYA!" Nageki shouted louder but Sakuya looked over to Ryuuji while the black mist around him went heaver and clearer to see.

He was falling in his own darkness
"Hahaha! What a weak ling!" laughed a twisted voice in Sakuya's head
"He couldn't even protect his own brother!!"
"His brother died protecting a weak ling"
"How does that feel, I wonder"

Sakuya held his head, the voices were right however the image of the mist Yuuya flashed in Sakuya's mind. Anger then filled Sakuya's heart while the mist around him got even worse
"Sakuya, no! Stop it!! Don't fall into the darkness!" Nageki shouted but Sakuya's ice on the floor cracked.

"Huh?" Nageki sounded but then it turned into fire!
"What?!" Nageki gasped while he pulled Ryouta into a tighter hug while fire surrounded them. However the fire spread to Anghel and the others.

Hitori had to release the image of the wall and back away with Torhi while Anghel and Okosan were in a circle of fire with Ryuuji.

"Hahaha!" Ryuuji laughed while he looked over to Nageki and Ryouta
"What to do! What to do!" Ryuuji laughed

Nageki knew he was taking Sakuya's sadness and anger to his advantage but...but where did the fire come from?
"Sakuya!" Nageki shouted but then Sakuya's eyes turned bright red while he glared at Ryouta while the black mist covered him.

Nageki backed away a little while he knew Sakuya just fell into his own darkness just like Shuu did when he split his soul in two for the book.
That is where the fire came from
Sakuya's ice powers turned into fire because of his anger

Nageki then looked at Ryouta who was still crying and he was also slowly falling into darkness
They both needed to be saved!
But that much kindness is impossible to find

But is it?

Nageki slowly removed his right hand from Ryouta and looked at it
He had the power of kindness
But because of the strength of Ryuuji's power Nageki knew that he would have to use all this power to save the two boys.

But that would make him weak
That would make him a easy target for Ryuuji
Just like Kazuaki and Yuuya, Nageki would die if he used that much power

But it was either that or let his two friends fall into their own darkness risking everyone's lives if not their own.
Nageki had no choice

However Sakuya launched at Ryouta but Nageki protected Ryouta using himself as a shield.
"AH!!" He cried while he felt Sakuya's hand hit all the way down his back which caused fire to burn him
"Nageki!!" Hitori cried while Nageki looked over to his brother who was at the other side of the fire circle.

Hitori was going to run into the fire but thankfully Torhi and Shuu stopped him by grabbing his arms.
"Nageki!!" He shouted again while he cried

Nageki meanwhile grabbed both Sakuya's and Ryouta's arms. He then allowed a golden light to shine up their arms and to their hearts. His light covered the black mist on their chests but there was still the mist around the two boys bodies.

"Let me take all of that darkness away from you both" Nageki said smoothly while he smiled a little smile
"Nageki no! If you do that you'll die!!" Hitori cried
"Haha! He will won't he!" Ryuuji laughed

"It is the only way! He must save the Seeker of Souls!" Anghel shouted "He is the only one who can kill The Dark Sorcerer!!"
"it is true" Nageki sighed while he allowed more of his power to be cashed upon Sakuya and Ryouta
"Nageki no!" Hitori shouted....
