Then, the silence spoke louder.
“Eh? Really? Just that? What!? What was this even for then!? To show me that, she has a talent for magic?”
And once again, just like how I’ve been feeling until now, from right the get go, from the moment I meet that woman, I’m confused. I’m beyond that even, I’m perplexed! Without any sensible words to say about the situation that was right in front of me. The moment that, the little girl said that, brief moments later everything vanished leaving only a few traces behind them. I’m definitely missing the point here, there must be a reason on why she showed me this… But then, I thought crossed my mind, one that can explain this and why she showed me. The Seed of Destruction, the catalyst that a Demon Lord can be born from, it’s more than possible that it is giving the little girl power this soon, allowing her to be able to manifest her magic this early and with almost full control of it. Then, does this mean that, the little girl will be using the Seed in the future for her gains? Do I have to prevent it or even stop it? You can show me all of this but I’m still unsure on what to do about it. Right now, I’m a simple white light orb, but if that wasn’t the case, I don’t think my situation would change to be honest. I simply don’t have much infor…mati.on…
Ah, this is worse than death incarnated itself.
“You there little girl. You dare to defy me? Do you really think your puny insignificant power is enough to do something to me? The Empress of Thunders?”
Lightning noises!
Just as I was once again in my important monologue, two light orbs appear right in front of me. The same kind and gentle yellow light orb, and a purple one, one with a dark shade of purple, bigger than the yellow one, much bigger. This one however, made my stomach turn upside down, just like Miranda did the first time I met her, although I really can’t say if I have one in this state. The amount of magic energy that thing has is almost equal to Miranda, just a shy bit above it. However, the presence is on an entirely different level, one that equals even The Void Queen. The tone of voice is cold just like the ice from the north, this woman, one whose age should be in her twenties and just like The Void Queen, they are entities that you should never cross in front of them. I’m not joking either, from what I’m getting from this, the little girl seems determined to fight that woman, The Empress of Thunders as she calls herself. What an awful situation to happen to this innocent child. However, even with the monstrous presence that The Empress of Thunders has, I don’t feel any hostility at all from her towards the child, quite in fact, I feel curiosity of all things.
Magic noises!
Both of the light orbs vanish into the darkness mere moments later, leaving only a few traces left behind, and leaving myself speechless. I’m getting more and more confused by the second. I cannot make out what’s happening at all. Why does she keep showing me this? This seems so random and yet, does this Empress of Thunders have something to do with the little girl Seed of Destruction? Wait a second, did she notice that when she met the girl? Was she teasing her to see what would happen? Oh crap, I have more questions about all of this!
Clink! Clink! Clink!
Then, the sound of sword clashing quickly brings me back to my reality. Someone is fighting? But where? I look around erratically as I say this, but of course, in this complete darkness I’m unable to find anything and to make things worse, what I hear next makes my heart skip a beat.
Groar!
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
A shout of a monster echoes throughout the darkness, one that even vibrates myself thanks to the deep sound of it. Somehow this is not the worst of it.
Girl- Oh no! I can’t dodge it-
Bam!
With a loud “thud” followed by a metal sound “clink”, I can say that the girl got hit by an attack from the monster. From the metal sound, it seems she was quick enough to block it by using her sword as a shield. Even with that, it does not mean that it did not hurt her as she lets out a sound of pain as she seems to be sent “flying” backwards thanks to the impact.
“Damn it! I can’t go through its defences… I can’t defeat him like this!”
Ah, the sound of frustration, one that I know far too well. The excess need to defeat her foe is clear as the empty sky in the morning. Her voice shows panic thanks to her lack of strength to defeat him, making the need to defeat him grow by each passing second. There’s more to this fight that I can even fathom, however it seems things won’t be like that for too long.
“Eh? Wh-What is this?”
The sight in front of me is unreal, as just like her, I feel the same way. What am I exactly seeing right now? It’s quite simple in fact, but nonetheless surreal. In front I have a silhouette of a girl, one that seems to be around 13 or 14 years old, but that’s the only thing that I can say as she is basically a ghost. Her whole body is coloured in white, a soft white, one that is translucent and in front of her a light orb is there, but this one has a dark golden colour to it. Quite pretty to be honest, a sight to be seen in this darkness. Either way, why is this teenager fighting a monster? From her desperation I would say that she's protecting something or someone. This golden light orb is filled with magic, but one that seems oddly similar. Now, where did I feel this before?
“You need help, use me.”
A stoic, calm but clear voice says this. It seems it came from the golden light orb, or should I say golden magic orb thanks to all the magic from it? Either way, it’s also a female voice, exactly the same as the girl to be precise, but just without any emotions at all, more stoic as I said before.
Girl- Wh-Who are you? Where am I?
Panic and despair. As these emotions creep on her mid, she asks this to the magic orb, and with it-
Darkness noises!
The darkness starts to consume her away. As her heart gets more unstable, the darkness starts to sweep away, eating everything on my pathhhh? Uh, why am I the one getting eaten away? My vision that is. Still does not make any sense…
........
......
…
To make things worse the magic orb stays silent almost as if it does not even know how to answer the girl.
Girl- Please tell me who you are! Or at least let me out of here!
With more desperation she asks the magic orb.
Darkness noises!
However, that desperation made the darkness consume a little more of everything. Seriously! My vision is starting to get really bad! Just answer her!
“I don’t know who or what I am but I can help you out. You won’t defeat him otherwise.”
Her voice is stoic and calm, just like before, however I can somewhat sense a bit of despair from her answer. It seems I wasn’t the one who also felt that.
Swoosh!
The girl also felt that, making the darkness stop in her tracks. Although my vision is quite reduced, I can still feel some relief coming from the girl. It seems by hearing the magic orb speak somehow calmed her heart, just enough to stop the darkness.
“I simply feel the need to help you out.”
Girl- But why? Why do you want to help me? Do I even know you?
“I don’t know either... I feel like I just woke up mere moments ago.”
Girl- Is that so? I-I accept your help… I will trust you, so please, lend me your hand! I have to defeat this thing! I have to protect them!
With determination in her voice but one filled with anxiety, she quickly extends her hands forward towards the magic ball. Not only that, part of the darkness is cleared when she did that. I can feel it, I can feel her heart beating faster, not only from fear, despair or desperation, but also from the hope she got from this, one that tells her that she can win.
“As you wish!”
Puff!
Once they reach an agreement, they gently vanish into the darkness and with it, the same darkness that was consuming my vision. A lot of darkness in a sentence if I say it myself, but moving on, I still have no clue what’s happening. Without much to do. I once again move forwards towards whatever will appear in front of me. But to be honest, I should’ve just stayed put, I was not ready for what’s about to happen next.
No one would be.
