Every step I took to get to that girl, a drop trickled down my face.
Something about this girl intrigues me, I don't know the reason for her fury about me, but if I fail now, she could end up killing me and running away or even worse, kill Eleanore. I cannot allow this to happen, I have a mission, I have chosen this destiny and I need to protect those who cannot. I swore to myself that night, the night of my grandparents' death. I chose this destination to protect everyone, to guarantee a peaceful future for the next generations, after all, I did not spend more than two years working hard to get here and give up, I will fight to the last straw.
The blades clash, we both pass right through each other. Maidel takes the lead and strikes quickly aiming at the head, jumping over it, dodging his attack. She backs up, runs to the tracks, on top of a small hill where the tracks passed, she takes impulse and gives a jump, that jump was so intense that you could put two of me in a stack and it wouldn't reach. From up there, she throws two knives at me. I quickly dodged the first knife, throwing my face aside, the other was forced to defend myself using one of my swords.
Maidel falls and on his knees pulls several knives out of his dark punch and throws them all at me, I use my swords and my reflex to retaliate his attacks. I knew how to use my reflexes well, but they are many at the same time, so much so that the last knife passes over my left arm making a small cut.
Emilia - aaagggrr ..!
Blood spills from my arm. Maidel throws another knife, but this one is aimed at the ground, the knife explodes and a small area around us is covered by a black mist. I keep my hand over the wound to stop the wound. I hear footsteps, coming from all sides, the hurt is making me delirious, I couldn't distinguish where it was coming from. Behold, she appears in front of me, right in the middle of the fog, with a look of tremendous hatred, she bit her lip so much it made him bleed. She takes advantage of this opening of me being invulnerable at that moment and punching me in the face, throwing me out of the fog.
I fall and hit my head on one of the tracks that the train passed, throwing me across the field which the tracks share. With a little difficulty and staggering, I get up. As soon as I open my eyes, Maidel was right in front of me, she turns around and kicks me in the stomach and throws me into a hollow tree.
She throws a knife with perfect precision at me inside. I put my arm out and hold her knife with just one hand. She opens her punch and pulls out two more knives. At that moment I could see that her knives were running out, soon she will be disarmed if she continues to depend on these knives. It advances on me. But before it cut me, I quickly left the tree advancing on it, I put so much force on my feet to get out, a part of the tree arrives broke with the impulse. Maidel notices my quick attack and tries to react by reversing the direct attack by retaliation. However, already close to her, I simply push her knife, bend down and use her right leg and hit her in the chin, throwing her up.
She responded to the hands-free attack by spitting blood. I take advantage of her opening in the air and pull her by the leg throwing her against the floor, the impact made her spit blood again. I get down on my knees and quickly pull my swords into my scabbards, keeping them while I was inside the hollow tree.
I advance on it, with the intention of killing it still on the ground. But, as soon as she opens her eyes, something happened because I couldn't open my eyes. I still maintain the attack, but as soon as I pass the swords through it, I cannot feel anything when I pass the sword where it was. As soon as I open my eyes, I look back and Maidel was gone. I look around, but I don't even notice Maidel's presence. When I realize it, I feel a strong attack on my head, a good blow. That for a moment made my brain go blank.
At that moment I was able to see my family, my Mother and my brothers. My dad was there too, but his back was to me.
Soon I recover from the attack and stand up. I realize that one of the swords had fallen and one was still in my hands. I run towards you with just one of the knives. Maidel quickly attacks by throwing another one at me, grazing my thigh. The attack made me stumble and fall flat on my face and roll to my feet. She wastes no time and tries to dent my head using her leg. I quickly open my eyes and roll to the side, maidel sank his own foot into the ground using only brute force.
I take a step back, but end up stepping on one of her knives. I take the knife and throw it against her face, but she simply throws her face to the side and with her left hand, she retrieves the knife still in the air.
I take advantage of the fact that she has her foot stuck on the ground, and I run to the tracks.
Emilia - damn ...! She's a lot stronger than me ... I need to think of a plan!
I'm right in front of her, but when I look back, she was running after me with my speed doubled, she's definitely too fast.
Emilia - I need to do this ...
A red aura grows around me, covering my entire body, it was my ability to resist. Even so, Maidel maintained the attack and did so, but without success. It attacked right in my stomach, but her knife stuck and didn't go through me.
I slap her hand and punch her in the face, hold her in the arm that was holding the knife, pull it out and hit her in the belly, she is thrown about 2 meters from me, hitting her head on one of the tracks. His knife ended up falling close to me, I kick the knife, throwing it away.
I keep my distance from her. Maidel was struggling to get up, his head was bleeding.
Maidel - you ... are dead !!!
She pulls a knife out of her punch, it was definitely her last knife, I look down and see one of my swords, pick it up and wait for it to come. Maidel holds the knife very furiously. She runs towards me with just a knife, her last. I defend myself from his attack, but his attack was so intense that it broke the tip of his knife.
Maidel - no… hey, wait!
She tries to hit a punch from the side, I squat down and hit her in the face making her roll down the tracks. Her attacks don't work against me in that way, and yet she keeps trying. What a stubborn elf, she doesn't know when to give up? She is very weak and still trying to stay upright. I hold my sword tightly and walk towards her, right in front of her I point my sword at her face.
Emilia - please… surrender.
She looks deep in my eyes and says:
Maidel - want to do with me ... what did you do with the rest of the people I loved ...? Do you want to finish what you started ... ?!
Emilia - what…? What are you talking about?
Maidel - by the way, the people you kill don't matter to you ...? Ai ai… What am I talking about? A murderer would not understand what is happening on the other side!
Emilia - oh no ... those elves ... Were they your family?
Tears began to flow from Maidel's eyes, yet she kept them fixed on me.
Maidel - yes ... And you took them from me.
Emilia - look sorry ... I didn't mean to ...
Maidel bites his lip and acts, taking advantage of my distraction and quickly gets up, pushing my sword to the side, Maidel approaches and punches me in the stomach, the attack was so intense that it made the cloak of resistance break up with the attack, making me even spit blood. Throwing myself away, I hit the floor on the floor and hit my head and for a few moments I woke up. Maidel gets up and walks over to me, every step of her I can feel her heart racing faster, she stands on top of me, staring at me with a look of tremendous hate.
Maidel - now you will ... pay for everything ... Emilia ... Baldric!
She sits on top of me, as soon as she raises her fist I can feel my heart racing. She was ready to sink my face into the ground, until I open my eyes and notice her, I had little to do against it, so I put my hands on my face and activated the remaining layer of resistance, but that didn't stop me from hit with tremendous force, it hit me so hard that I blacked out again for a brief moment. When I open my eyes again, Maidel was still on top of me, with his hands full of blood, I must have stopped defending myself at some point.
Every time she hit me, I could see the faces of each member of my family, one at a time, all of them. First I was able to see my Mother, then my little sister Emily appeared, soon after my older sister Amélia, my older brother Marcus also appeared. Everyone seemed to be unhappy to see me ... But, why? I love them more than anything, so leave home, to bring peace to this cold and dark world. Finally I could see my father, he came over and said something in my ear, I can't say what he said myself, but it woke me up.
I open my eyes again and she is beating me incessantly. But for some reason, I can't defend myself or react to their attacks. Why can't I dare to defend? Is it the fault? But ... I have people to protect, I can't afford to die here.
At that very moment, the cloak of resistance broke down again, it made Maidel think I was already dead. But even so, even though I had trouble making a big impact with the punch, because I was exhausted, she kept hitting me over and over. Her punches were clearly more weakened and she could barely keep her eyes open. I look to the side and see his knife with the broken tip right next to me, I drag my hand to the knife, hold it in my hand and hold the knife handle tightly.
Emilia - I… I'm sorry…
Maidel - what ..?
I shove the knife in her belly, blood poured from her belly and dripped from her mouth. Maidel had no reaction to the perforation, it falls right next to me and soon everything is dark.
Soon everything clears up and I find myself sitting right next to Maidel's body and mine.
Emilia - Do you think I did the right thing?
That entity was there with me to keep me company again.
Unknown - we all have sins to pay, you have yours and one day you will have to pay for them, but today was her day and not yours.
Emilia - I see ... But she is already the second person I ... I kill ... I just wanted to understand why it had to be like this, it was not meant to be ...
Unknown - Emilia, you need to understand that not everything can be as we want.
Emilia - I know that ...
Unknown - Emilia, get up. You need to understand that today was just another day, tomorrow will be another and then another. Everything that happened and will still happen is so that you can save this world.
Emilia - what? is… really? But everything I do hurts everyone.
Unknown - and at the same time save others. You are a kind girl, your decisions will change the world around you, everything is in your hands.
Emilia - um .. I don't understand ... Why do I ...?
Unknown - have you forgotten? This is your dream. Don't you dare die before you fulfill it.
Emilia - this was the dream of a child who did not know what he would face outside the walls. I was stupid ...!
Unknown - Emília… you are smart, one day you will understand.
Emilia - okay ... Hey, what's your name? Didn't you say you would tell me at our next meeting?
Unknown - I realized something. You need to be strong, when you are strong, I will then reveal my name.
Emilia - how boring you are, huh ...
Unknown - * hahahaha * ... See you later, Emilia. Until our next meeting.
A wooden door appears right behind me, it opens on its own and a light shines brightly inside the door, I stand and walk towards the door.
Unknown - wait, Emilia!
I look back and see the being that is calling me, the dark skin was disappearing, everything went up into the air, all that darkness that covered the body of the entity, floated and went to the sky. Whoever was sitting next to me, talking to me and trying to calm me down, was not something that scared me. There was someone else in the place of that dark and gloomy entity, it was a woman, she was naked, only her long black hair covered her private parts, her eyes were dark and her lashes were big, very dark in color like the place of our first meeting. She smiles at me, that smile ... it was a calm and warm smile, she waves her hand and says goodbye to me. Now I know her true identity, she has an angelically beautiful face. I walk through the door with a smile on my face.
Back in the real world, my vision is blurry, all I see is the starry, dark sky, by the way, it's still raining, I look around and I see blood, a lot of blood, but I don't see maidel. I look up and see someone approaching, I can't see who it is, all I notice is my vision darkening again.
To be continued…
