Chapter 11: The sun rises on Taro

Seeing Taro suffering terribly, Rika raised the sacred lotus, thus illuminating the darkness that surrounded her.

The monk with Serpentine eyes exclaimed then: "What do I see?" »»

Rika replied gently: "Don't you expect it? It is a sacred lotus, a flower blessed by the Ningyo. She has the power to dispel the darkness you are talking about. »»

Haru, carefully, approached the altar, determined to release Taro, but the monk did not allow him to pass.

There is therefore a confrontation between these two protagonists. With the help of Lady Sakura, Princess Benihime manages to neutralize the Mukade Lord.

Benihime: You will have to answer for your actions in front of the court, Mukade, I promise it.

Mademoiselle Alma, observing her son in full fight, decided to lend him a hand. She then addressed Rika: my dear Rika, could you tell me the way to Haru, please?

Rika replied with a smile: of course, it is quite possible.

Rika raised the lotus towards the darkness which blocked the passage, thus allowing Mademoiselle Alma to finally join her son.

However, she did not rush to help her in the fight. Instead, she took a stone and headed directly to Taro, trying to break the chains that held him prisoner.

Approaching Taro, she noticed how we had a weaken. If he ever had attached to the altar by losing so much blood, his survival was compromising. Gently posing her hand on her face, she whispered: "Well, Taro, we will get you out of there. »»

She began to strike with all her might, again and again, without success. Meanwhile, Haru, who was fighting against the monk in snake's eyes, finally managed to defeat him.

Leaving him to the ground, he joined his mother exclaiming: "Mom !! »»

Mademoiselle Alma: Haru, it is urgent to free Taro from these channels.

Haru took his sword and, with determination, broke the chains which held Taro Prisoner. Mademoiselle Alma took him in her arms, took off his shirt and bandaged his injury gently.

Seeing the state of Taro, his concern grows: hold on, my dear Taro, you're going to get out of it.

Unfortunately, time was in a hurry. A huge black wave rose, making the waters roar, and in the depths, thousands of eyes opened.

Seeing this, Mukade burst out laughing and exclaimed: "It is already too late, the power will soon belong to me. »»

Dame Sakura exclaimed: "It is not true!" »»

Benihime added: "You are completely crazy, Mukade. »»

Mademoiselle Alma, holding Taro in her arms, said to her son, "We have to leave this place. »»

Haru replied: "Okay. »»

They began to run as fast as they could, but the monk in the eyes of a snake, resuming his senses, declared: "It is already too late, you will all perish. »»

Without paying attention to him, they went away with Taro. The roar of the depth was heard, and in the abyss, of the eyes opened. Feeling the danger, Taro cried: ATT ... Wait ... We ...

Worried for Taro, Mademoiselle Alma says gently: you shouldn't talk too much, Taro. Save your strength.

Despite the pain that grabbed him, Taro replied: we ... we can't ... leave like this.

Approaching Lady Sakura, Rika and Princess Benihime, Rika turned to Taro and said gently: Taro, don't worry, you are going to get out of it, agree?

Dame Sakura then added with confidence: yes, we will get out of here and take care of you.

Taro, eyes riveted on the agitated sea where the waves were unleashed, not noticed that a huge wave was heading towards them. Seizing the situation, Haru exclaimed: you have to quickly take shelter!

Observing the situation deteriorate, Taro gently stretched his hand towards the sea and, in a weakened voice, murmured: "Ar ... stops. »»

The sea obeyed him immediately. Dazzled by this scene, Benihime exclaimed: "The sea obeyed him!" »»

At that time, Taro made an important decision. He understood that the ocean respected him. While the waves were unleashed even more and the roar of the depths was heard, Taro gathered all his strength and exclaimed: "That's enough! »»

His voice echoed in the water, and the sea listened to it carefully. A huge wave formed, engulfing the temple and sealing the door of the abyss forever.

At the heart of this tumult, Mukade and the snake -eyed monk were in danger in the middle of the storm, fearing for their lives. In a momentum of despair, Mukade cried: 'Princess Benihime, don't leave me alone.'

Benihime looked at him with deep sadness and replied, 'You have provoked this disaster, you must now assume the consequences.'

Mukade, with a look full of pain, observed Benihime and exclaimed: cursed you are, dirty plague.

The cultists were dispersed, the Lord sank into defeat, and the village was finally saved. Mr. Saï and Toriyama, which remained outside the temple, still awaited the return of the princess as well as their wives and children.

Still not seeing their loved ones come back, they began to feel a certain concern, until a silhouette emerges from the entrance. Gently frowning, they saw Rika who was running out.

Happy, Toriyama exclaimed: "Rika !! »»

He immediately headed for them and saw Taro in the arms of Mademoiselle Alma. He worries: "My sky, what happened with this boy? »»

Mademoiselle Alma replied gently: “We will tell you very later. Could you, please take him to the Princess Domaine? »»

Toriyama asked the question: and what about the Mukade Lord?

Princess Benihime gently replied: Lord Mukade lost his life during the battle. Now he will no longer be able to cause us concerns.

Toriyama took Taro in his arms and led him. The next day, at dawn, the sea had become calm again. The villagers were trying to repair the damage caused during the night.

When Taro finally recovered from his wounds, and the Mukade Lord had disappeared, Princess Benihime took the reign of the village as a legitimate sovereign.

Taro was supported by imperial doctors, specially recommended by the princess. After dressed, he was taken to Princess Benihime, who was looking forward to him with his friends.

Delighted to see that he was better, Nanami kissed him with emotion, tears in his eyes, saying: "I am so happy to find you, my little Taro. »»

Mr. Fujisawa added with a smile: “We have all heard news. I am happy to see that you are better, my little one. »»

Taro, very happy, replied: "I too am happy to see you again. »»

It was then that Benihime approached Taro. He couldn't believe her eyes and thought about it: "Is it really her, Princess Benihime?" She is really beautiful. »»

Benihime took Taro in his arms, offering him comforting warmth. In a soft voice full of joy, she said to him: "I am delighted to meet you, my little Taro. Welcome home. »»

These words surprised Taro a lot, who, as a simple fisherman, had just discovered a family and friends. By looking at them with an astonished air, he noticed in the distance, in the room, the spirit of Yaohime who observed him with a smile before disappearing.

With a smile that marked the beginning of a new life, he felt surrounded by affection. Benihime having become the new lord of the village, he was waiting for Taro to be ready to take his post, promising him to watch over him and protect the village.

Taro was now a happy child. Together, they went to the restaurant of Monsieur Fujisawa to celebrate the return of the young lord. However, somewhere in the distance, the sirens continued to sing its name.
