Miracula Luxia C6, P2- "Wings"

"Wings" is the second Part of "Miracula Luxia" 's sixth Chapter- "The Great War". It was released on 09.12.2019.
== Plot ==
The activation of a Portal which is powerful enough to teleport hundreds of warriors from Avernum has become the main goal of our heroes.
However it will take a long time for the mages to complete it, with combined efforts. Thus Jared takes the responsibility to protect them from invaders.
Will they succeed?
== Story ==
After arriving back at the capital Captain Viridian announced their plan to the citizens and the remainder of the Council.
They all agreed to help complete the Portal as it was a very important task, definitely not worth ignoring.
As the soldiers stood near the gate, Jared saw a bunch of invaders coming their way.
"Here they are! Prepare your battle positions, brave souls! Don't let them get in!"
"Yes, Sir!"- The soldiers exlaimed and proceeded to attack the invaders.
Unfortunately, one of the invaders managed to sneak up on Jared and hit him with his club.
Jared stood back, stunned.
The man noticed that Jared was unable to defend himself (Albeit temporarily) and prepared to land another blow.
Suddenly, an apparition of Jared's father- Aleks appeared in front of him and stopped the blow.
He looked at his son.
"Come on, Jared! Is that really how you're going to die? Show some initiative! You promised to come and save us. From what I see, your intentions are not genuine, as you cannot save yourself."- He scolded the stunned Jared.
He came back to his senses.
"Remember what I told you years ago?"
"Years ago?"- Jared wondered.
Suddenly, he experienced another flashback- this time from 5 years ago.
He saw him and his father holding hands. They were on the beach, looking at the beautiful afternoon sky and enjoying their vacation.
"Daddy?"- Jared asked his father.
"Yes, son?"
"You said that I am destined to become a great warrior one day. But what if someone takes me down and you're not around? What must I do?"
Aleks smiled.
"Do not fear, my child. I know that there is a lot of power resting within you, ready to be unleashed upon the wronged ones. I know that you can strike back and rise again, just like a Phoenix!"
"And what if all is lost? What if all that we dreamed for... is lost?"
"Hm? Well, no matter if everything falls apart, there will always be a spark of hope. Never give up! Spread your wings and spread that spark. Make it powerful. Like a lightning."
"Like that lightning?"- Jared pointed out a large lightning in the sea.
"Yes. Be like the lightning- never fear to strike down."
Jared smiled. He always listened to his father's advice when he was little- just like he does now. 
They continued looking towards the sky. The sun was setting down.
Jared woke up.
"So that's what you meant... "
"Correct. You won't give up, will you?"
Jared stood up.
"Not a chance. Here I come!"
He stabbed the man in the chest and looked at him.
"No one will take me down. No one! I will rescue my loved ones and destroy this so-called "Order"! ".
The solders had just finished clearing out the hostiles' perimeter.
"Sir, are you okay?"- One of them asked.
"Yes, yes. Don't worry about me. Did you defeat all of the hostiles?"- Jared responded.
"We did. All of the enemies have been executed. None have been left behind."
Jared nodded.
"Yes. Good job. That's the way we should act- kill every enemy, leave no survivors. I know that it's hard, but it must be done."
"We understand, Sir. Your wisdom is always appreciated."
The guards returned to their posts.
Jared stood on the same spot, watching the gate and thinking about this sudden flashback.
"Spread your wings. The wings of freedom. That's what Dad wants me to do."
"And I will. When we finish this Portal, we will take back what is ours. We will rescue all those unfortunate prisoners and we will take down their captors. I'm sure that our forces will be more than enough to do so."
"Until then, I must prepare. I have the guidance of Uncle and the Captain, but I still need to train. It's necessary."
He sharpened his blade for 20 minutes until one of the soldiers approached him.
He lightly tapped Jared on the shoulder.
"Sir?"
Jared turned around.
"Yes? Any progress?"
"A lot, but we need your help. The mages say that someone needs to break the seal. Someone with an incredible talent in magic."
"A seal, you say? What kind of seal?"
"Magical seal, I think. We need your help, Sir. Please come."
"Someone with an incredible talent in magic? Well, I'm not that talented, but if they trust me to do this, I will try. Let's see what this is all about."- Jared said to himself as he approached the Portal.
The mages looked at him.
"Sir. The soldier told you about the situation, didn't he?"- One of them asked.
"Yes. Yes he did. I will do what you ask."
"Thank you, Sir. We knew that we could count on you!"
Jared smiled and stared at the Portal.
He saw a lock. But it wasn't an ordinary metal lock. It was made of pure energy, uncontrolled magic."
"So this is what's preventing them from proceeding? I suppose that it won't be much of a problem."
Jared raised his hands and casted a long, powerful spell. Soon it was complete.
He casted it on the lock.
Nothing happened. At first.
Then suddenly a giant key appeared and opened the lock with ease.
Then... it disappeared.
"Thank you, spiritual Keyblade. I knew that you would be useful. At least once."- Jared said to himself and smiled.
One of the mages approached him and shaked his hand.
"And that's why you are our leader, Sir. Your knowledge when it comes to spells and tactics is incredible!"
"Thank you, mage. Now get back to work. The way is clear."
The mages nodded and continued working on the Portal.
Jared went outside and saw that Captain Viridian was approaching him.
"Yes, Captain?"
"Sir, there is one small problem still existing. A bunch of members from the Order of the Black Fist have nested themselves in a small cave near the capital. They're spying on us and trying to find a flaw in our defenses. We must clear them out at all costs."
Jared nodded.
"Yes. As I said earlier- no enemies should be left behind."
"Alright, Captain. Me, you and my Uncle will go there and eradicate them all. Understand?"
Captain Viridian nodded.
"I am at your service, Sir. Let's do this!"
"For the Free Lands!"- Jared yelled.
"For the Free Lands!"- The Captain repeated.
They went to get Jason from a nearby house and left the safe confines of the capital to find the treacherous creatures and teach them a lesson- to not mess with the combined forces of Humans and Vahnatai. Ever.
== Trivia ==
* This Part was named "Wings" in honor of Phyrnna whose birthday was on the same day as its release- 09.12.2019. Phyrnna is one of the biggest inspirations of this story- especially for the parts which include the following subjects: Hope, Freedom and Light.
The part is also named "Wings", because it describes another important part of Jared's personality- to never give up and to always fight like it's his last battle- with endless courage and might.
