"We'll show them the true power of the Demon Kingdom."







Faith:




A shiver went down my spine.

For a second I grazed the hair risen on my neck, the fingertips tickling a little. It was odd, like I could feel something bad happening. Yet I couldn't put my finger on it, which left me a staring mess at the back of Armen's neck.

What was that?

Alchadar had halted for only a moment, yet I saw and felt it. He experienced it too? My Demon partner glanced behind, up to the skies which were rumbling of dark clouds and thunder. There was a storm about to break down. His amber eyes narrowed slightly. Should I be getting concerned myself?


"What's going on with you two?" Praxina laughed once, not putting on a note how strange it was. She kept on walking down the narrow valleys of the 'Dead zone', as I had learnt of them.

It had only been a day since we rescued the slaves from master Ezekiel's temple and left them to Kiara. And then we continued our way towards the unknown. This time our destination was the fairies' kingdom, which was quite a way. It was such a short period of time and we decided to walk until Alchadar could transport us again. After all, he had to save some stamina and aura. It must've been draining.

My eyes met with Alchadar's bright amber eyes, sterness in them. I couldn't put my finger on the feeling, and yet I bet he wasn't either. More or so, how did I feel the same as him? Whatever it was we both felt it and even if we didn't know what it was, for now it wasn't significant. We still had a long way to go.

"... Just probably the wind playing us." I sighed and chuckled awkward, I really tried to convince myself it was because of it. And somehow deep down I didn't believe it, but there was no imminent danger showing up. Was it just our complicated mixed minds?

"I hope so." Ben wondered between us but continued to walk forward none the less. That was until a few rain drops hit the ground we stood on, each of our heads snapped up at the sky. It had begun raining heavily. "I suggest we take shelter."

"There." Chris pointed to a nearby cave entrance hidden in the rock formation, the only shelter we possibly could find in the hard environment. There didn't seem to be any arguing as Chris led the way to the cave's entrance, it was dark as hell of the sudden atmostphere change and the dark clouds surrounding the sky. Chris grabbed his blade and pressed a button, engulfing his steel in a fire. It gave some lighting to the narrow space, but evidently when moving further in, it was empty. "Clear."

"Will we wait the storm to pass?" Praxina asked, looking out the heavy rain and storm rumbling not too far away. It was an odd phenomenom change, I give you that. But we had had such good luck with warm and sunny days, so I guess this was just highly expected.

We're not afraid to get soaked...

I think it's more of a fact would we get soaked or wait for a second.

"It's the best we wait here. And continue once the rain stops." Alchadar lent to the ceiling with his arm and looked outside from the entrance at the rain pouring down heavily to the ground. I hadn't even noticed how narrow it was for him and the guys, before I hit my head to the ceiling and groaned. Yeah, Armen too.

"Yeah, I'll get off." I said, Armen bent down and allowed me to untangle my legs from his back. I sat down on a rock and made sure the cast of my ankle was still intact, resting it down. "Well, it's as good time as ever to talk some sense to Chris and his obsession with the opposite gender." I noted out, looking at Chris with an amused look.

It has been on my bucket-list for so long, yet I haven't gotten the chance to really bring it up.

"Huh? Me?" Chris was dumbfounded and pointed at himself, the accussations not expected. I crossed my arms and rose an eyebrow, challenging his argument. "Now, now. What's there to talk? I like women and women like me. Well, most of them." As soon as he said the second sentence he noticed us girls' eyeing him suspiciously, correcting himself. It had been almost quite evident we found his approaching a little too pushy.

"I doubt that very much." Praxina rolled her eyes and sat down as well, the subject more interesting to her than just waiting for the rain to stop. "The way you approach and talk about women is weird and creepy. You really need to do a 'self-check' and think of alternative options to seducing them." The Elf pointed out, doing a hand motion as to point out the words in her sentence.

"Wha-? Wait. You only say that 'cause you're girls. You two find almost everything scary and creepy." Chris pointed out to us, his finger held up now accusing of us.

"Noup." I said bored, looking at him in disbelief.

"Just you." Praxina agreed, I could see Armen and Ben hold in their snickering. Alchadar seemed to remain out of the conversation for now, making sure to keep an eye on the surroundings around the cave's entrance.

"This is unbelievable. Guys, help me out. I'm sure I'm not that creepy and harrassing." Chris sighed and looked to the men in the room this time, all this harrassing from women now annoyed him? Oh, poor guy. The truth must've hurt.

"You have an interesting way to greet the women you meet for the first time. As in, touching their private areas or trying to impress them with your charm." Armen teased with a grin, sharing me a quick glance as to do I agree. I do remember the first time the Demon Slayer and I met, his hand on my ass. And then his charm trying to have an affect on me-- yeah, I do agree. Armen glanced at Praxina as well, I do recommend remembering an episode of Chris accidentally grabbing her boop while she was arguing with him... it did result in him getting his ass beaten. None the less, the Beast had a good point. "Personally? I don't have to. Women like my presence alone." He purred, I widened my eyes in shock.

"I've only saw it once, but I do agree a little." Ben said as he grabbed his chin, deep in thought. "It's not that bad, but you could try a different tactic. Like, buy her flowers or take her out to a dinner first. You know romantic in some other ways too, not just in bed." The Shapeshifter noted, his eyes almost disappointed as he had to voice out the last. It was the one that mostly described the Slayer.

"I almost trusted you Beast, but you too Ben?" Chris acted as of accused, looking heartbroken. I sighed in defense, this seemed to get his attention as he thought for it a second. "Fine. I get all of your points. And I'll concider them, okay? Ultimately it's me and the women." He put out his terms and crossed his arms, looking down at me. I almost questioned. "You okay with that?"

I eyed him a little, tilting my head and examining did I notice some lies in his sayings. The Demon Slayer was suddenly uncomfortable under my look, glancing towards the cave's entrance at the raining outside. No, he seemed convincing enough. For now.

"... As long as I see some results." I slowly pointed out, and then shot my finger at him. "And no more touching my ass!" I groaned, annoyed I even had to say it. None of the others' hadn't done it and it was a norm-- but to him it seemed not to be.

"Or my boobs!?" Praxina added, huffing.

"Fine, fine. Jeez, I'd take it as a compliment if I was a woman-" Chris shook his head, unexpected person cutting him off.

"Chris. This is the moment when you agree and say no more." Alchadar said out loud his thoughts, looking at the Demon Slayer strong and stern. Even if he leant the cave's wall looking all relaxed and on guard, he had still earsdropped the whole conversation. Typical of him and his nature, Alchadar was a man of few words. But the few words were usually wise and carefully thought, he didn't just say anything that came to his mind.

Sometimes I like it.

Sometimes I feel frustrated because of it.

I'd really want to dig into his brain and find what he's really thinking.

"Fine. Okay!" Chris shot his hands up in defense and sat down heavily on the rock behind him, pouting. This big man was pouting? I almost laughed at the sight but restrained myself, it was an important intervention and we wanted some results from it. No time to screw up this progress.

"Good. I appreciate it." I said and relaxed finally, it was like a sudden weight lifted off my shoulders. It happened a lot of times these days, was I noticing some improvement in my personality? Chris eyed me suspiciously, trying to see was I still trying to bring up something else. "Now, don't be like that." I smiled a little, brushing my shoulders.

Armen growled suddenly loud.

I turned my head to see his crouched body stand up, the hair on his neck risen up. It usually meant the Beast had sensed something. It made me visibly shocked.

"Where?" Alchadar questioned from the Beast, standing up to his full height. The Beast of hell tend to have more supernatural instincts when it came to smelling or sensing something, yet Alchadar's head shooting up meant he wasn't too far away. The Beast and his Demon looked up towards the sky, where the thunder and skies rumbled. I couldn't see a thing.

"What is it?" I asked, worry in my voice. I couldn't hide it, not forgetting the feeling I felt before. It was odd yet I still remember it. Was this the thing that rose up the hair in my neck?

I've never felt it before.

So sudden and evil.

Chris got up from his spot and walked to the entrance, glaring up towards the skies. His nose and eyes searched, a dangerous look on his face. "Demons." He blurted, and the thunder stroke the ground not far from us. Revealing three figures hidden in the sky, and a sudden fireball of red and orange coming down at us.

Armen growled low and jumped into the rain, towards the destruction. I widened my eyes in terror, yet had to shut up when he swallowed the power in his stomach. The Beast landed on the ground again, licking his lips. Was his stomach a black hole or why wasn't he impacted by it the slightest?

"Oh~? A Beast?" A voice spoke out from above the clouds, a feminine one. And deep at that. I narrowed my eyes to notice the clouds move out of the way, revealing three dark skinned Demons. One female, two males. And each wore a very powerful wings on their backs. Black wings. On a Demon? "It would seem our Father wasn't lying after all." She grinned. On her hand was a mean looking hammer which she held pretty well concidering her small size. It was twice her size... then again, Alchadar had strong genes. It must be what Demons do.

"Oi, Alchadar! Come and play with your siblings." The one in the middle called, looking stern yet playful. I couldn't tell. I was too shocked of the black wings attached to their backs, how did Demons have them?

Wait, right.

These are Alchadar's siblings?

Alchadar stepped out of the cave's entrance, holding his hand to us to stop from following. I noticed the color shift in from amber to red again, every fibre in me tensed. It was a bad situation, right? So bad that there were three of them, and the weather making it almost impossible to fight.

They're here for one thing and only one...

To bring their brother home.

And kill the rest of us.

"Triplets. Are you here because of Father's request to bring me home?" Alchadar begun, I only wondered. Triplets? So they had been born on the same day from one mother. That just sounded great.

"Nailed it." The youngest man of them said, showing a thumb up. Yet it was one malivolent one. "We heard that our old geezer of a Master and the Seven had failed at that. Pathetic. This time he sent us to do that and finish up the work."

"And what might that be?" Alchadar sensed the atmostphere grow tense, and so did Armen as he growled low beside his Master. He motioned with his hands for us to be ready, I noticed Ben get to my side as he offered his back to me. I hopped on his piggyback ride a little hesitant, grabbing my bow and an arrow. Praxina did the same and Chris was ready to launch, all he really was waiting was a signal.

Damn, screw this leg!

It was slowing us down again!

"The group you're hiding in that cave of yours." The younger one answered, an evil smile plastered on his lips. Alchadar crushed his hand to a fist- it was our time to move. And yet as soon as we tried the gravity took over control of our bodies as we all slammed down. A gravitational pull? "Now, don't go underestimating us."

"I'll have the first dance." The Demon in the middle launched forward, and took out his Demon blaster. He started firing the blue fires at Alchadar who noticed our predicament, but was forced to drawn out his blade to block the attacks.

The Demon female snapped her fingers. "Boom."

And if the struggling against the sudden gravity pull wasn't enough, I noticed the ceiling of the cave come crashing down at us with a loud explosion. I flinched and closed my eyes, embracing for the impact. It took a moment for me to realize Ben roar out loud and then it was quiet, I shot my eyes up. He had transformed his body into a huge gorilla, holding the ceiling up with all his might from crushing us.

"-- Now!" Praxina fought to settle her arms better and aimed out towards the sky, sending her arrow towards the younger Demon boy. The Demon dodged it easily and laughed in pity, until it exploded right behind him. It got his attention-- and the gravity was suddenly lifted off us. "Go!"

I groaned and was about to run after Praxina and Chris out of the cave, but Ben grabbed me and ran out just in nick of time before the ceiling crashed. I held onto his tight grip around me and glanced back, noticing Alchadar and Armen fight against his brother. Almost when they pinned him down the female Demon appeared behind him, slamming her hammer into Armen's back and sending him flying off.

"Armen!"

"I don't like mutts in general. No hard feelings." The female Demon said with a giggle, looking Armen regain of her strike. The Beast rose from the pile of rocks and snarled, charging at her. "Too slow-" She said happy and flew on right but was left amazed when Armen managed to grab a hold of her ankle, swinging her to the wall next. Her face outrageous. "Now you'll die, mutt!"

"This is good." Chris panted as he jumped on the high ground of the valley, offering his hand to Praxina. The Elf allowed him to pull her up, all the while continuing to run forward closer to the battle ground. "I'll go help the Demon out-!"

"Wait!" I grabbed his hand when Ben was about to follow after Praxina and Chris run out to the battlefield, worry evident in my eyes. "Is there any plan?"

"There never is." He smirked and I let go, watching him run towards the battle field the Demon Slayer blood pumping fierce in him. I wasn't too much worried, but I still was. This was mad yet again!

"For Christ's sake..." I groaned and watched Ben ran over to Praxina, lowering me to sit on the ground beside her. I got my bow and arrows, digging out a bottle of salt from my pocket. I had grown to carry it all around- waiting for a situation like this to happen. "Here." I handed it to Praxina, and begun to rub my arrows full of it. The Elf princess did the same and bent her bow.

She fired faster than usual when she noticed the youngest of the Demons' approaching us, an evil look on his face. He dodged the arrow easily, grinning.

"Agh, these won't do any good if he doesn't stay still!" Praxina snarled and took another arrow, standing on her knees and firing another. Then another. And yet again another. I narrowed my eyes- that Demon could see everything and dodge everything. Did he have a hird eye?

"I'll take care of that then." Ben said behind us and jumped forward-- up to the sky. The monkey was about to hit it's target but the Demon grinned, I knew what he was about to do. I growled and decided to go for it, shooting an arrow in his direction. It was going to hit his head but he swung it away, which of the contact burned his hand. And then-- Ben managed to land a clean hit to his head. "Yes!"

The Demon was sent to the ground as Praxina fired her arrow, it hit the market to his thigh. The Demon growled and tore it away, his eyes turning black from red. And then he came at us--

"Down!" I pulled Praxina by the shirt as she landed on top of me, we heard a collision. The ground she had been standing on was no longer there. It had been blown into pits by the Demon's mere fist as he stood up on his spot. Standing right before us.

"Wgnee-- psårkda-- lidia." He spat at us, my brain shook as it translated. "You'll pay for that." I narrowed my eyes and slowly stood up from my spot, leaning to my left leg. I tried to save the right ankle as much as possible-- I didn't want to sprain it too much.

As if you'd have choice!

"We'll handle this." Praxina stepped in front of me with Ben, I looked wide eyed. Yet I didn't listen and grabbed my blade's handle, deciding to remain as their back up. If it came to it I'd fight.

"Hahahah. Zquelen-- prøvåt-- wyeren." The Demon said-- "See you on the other side". As soon as I noticed his his hand reach for something I froze, he thinks we don't know. I saw a grenade-- Demon grenade. If my brain served me right.

"I don't think so-!" I managed to charge forward and slice the thrown grenade at us just in time in half, the slime in it flew right back at the Demon. The legendary Squid's blood-- so poisonous it hurt the Demons as well. I watched almost proud as the creature before us hissed in pain, the liquid melted right through his skin. Alchadar told me of them, the explosion could wipe out almost anything. The important thing was it's insides, the deadly poison. I took my changes... and luckily, I pulled it off. "I think I'll see you there soon."

The Demon halted. And I'd count myself in as well. What the hell did I just say- out loud at that?

"Xenadra-- phrahare-- ghundlom -- zinkwim?" The Demon spat, my brain rummed again. "Can you understand me, mortal?" I hesitated and swallowed down a gulp, trying to act clueless. Hell I think Ben and Praxina beside me did it far better than I did.

And then, I could feel my body slam to the ground heavily. I groaned and tried to fight against the gravity-- it was so strong I could feel the skin on my face almost peel off. Praxina and Ben were engulfed in it as well, struggling beside me. Damn, I wasn't so sure how'd we get out of this one.

My eyes widened when the Demon stood before me.

"Ghula -- påhgik-- sgindhulm." He snarled as he grabbed my throat roughly, hoisting me out of the gravity. Yet I'd rather stay there. I couldn't breathe. I glared at him darkly as he brought me closer to his face, I noticed the clear size difference. I couldn't break free even if I wanted to. "I don't like liars. But you already knew that." He grinned to my face, turning around.

"Ngh." I struggled against his grip, noticing Praxina's and Ben's worried looks after me. They were still under the gravitational surface-- how could that be? The Demon stopped and held my body up, tightening his grip all the while.

"Behold, siblings!" He called out down below, I struggled the best I could. Almost to no vain. The gasps were imminent until he twisted his hand around, letting go of me to only hold my neck. I howled of the sudden pressure and kicked the air-- noticing I was dangling in his hold and 40 feet fall below me. "A mortal who can speak our language!"

"Don't be a fool, Zino." The female Demon groaned, Armen's head remaining under her boot. I widened my eyes-- and Chris was barely alive under her giant hammer. Then my eyes flew to Alchadar who had gun wounds evident on his armour as he was trying to find his footing-- his brother slamming a boot on his back. "Phraga -- ghundlem -- giora-- des-- gjhörden?"

She can't understand us.

I could feel his grasp on my neck tighten, which made me gasp of air.

"Say it!" He commanded, trying to prove a point. He was blackmailing me to do it. I gritt my teeth and was allowed some air in my lungs, my eyes sadly met with Alchadar's. His amber eyes held worry and anger in them, his injuries almost too severe to intervene. It was bad. And I needed to do something about it.

'... I'm sorry.' I said to the mindlink.

I saw his strenght build up but his brother held him tight under him, laughing. It made rage boil in me as I glanced at the Demon holding me, smirking.

"-- Sorry, can't speak Demon." And I knew I was doomed. Of the way this Demon froze and his brows ridged to a glare.

Zino growled out loud and tightened his grip-- throwing me away. The rain drops fell faster than I did as time froze again, my eyes growing wide to see Praxina and Ben tackle the Demon behind me, not fast enough to grab me. They screamed after my falling form. I gritt my teeth but after a familiar tug in my brain I looked forward- noticing Alchadar ripping himself free.

My Demon partner and Armen touched each other-- transforming into the Knight Beast. Alchadar kicked his sister and swung with his sword at his brother.

And he jumped up.

Time slowed down as he catched my flying form, slamming hard into the brick wall behind him of the collision. Then I noticed the blasted oncoming bullets of his brothers-- grabbing my blade but it was shot out of my hands. It flew down to the ground. My eyes widened even more of the hammer transforming into a blade before my eyes, going to hit through my chest and Alchadar.

'... Me too.'

I snapped my head to see Alchadar hoist me out of the way, holding me out of the blade's reach as it stroke through his chest. For the love of me-- I screamed.

What felt like an eternity we finally reached the ground with a loud thud, the rain pouring down on us heavily. I had flown a little away but quickly crawled to Alchadar's side-- Armen transformed back into his Beast mode whining in pain. I didn't know who to tend first as tears fell down my face-- I didn't know was this reversible. What had I done? What had I done?

"Al!" I cried out, holding his head on my knees. I noticed a trail of blood from the corner of his mouth, one of his four left hearts injured. I looked over to Armen who had a bad looking wound on his side, whining out. "Armen, please!"

"Isn't this sweet?" The female Demon spoke out, I snapped out for a second. I glared daggers at her direction. I was so mad that I was shaking. "Our brother has taken a liking of this one. Cute." She giggled, looking down at me her hammer resting on her shoulder.

"So much he's teached our language." I noticed Zino coming, dragging Praxina's and Ben's almost liveless bodies with him. I felt completely powerless as I watched him toss them in the same pile of rocks Chris rested on, all of them badly injured. They had beat us bad. They defeated us so easily-- How were they so powerful?

"Chris...! Praxe...! Ben...!" I called out to them, noticing they were all out cold. A sob left my throat, as I was shaking violently. Of rage and as of fear when three of these monsters were standing before me, looking down at me. I could feel the tension and the authority they were using on me, and my body gave it's consent. "No, Al!" I cried and hugged him, noticing him flinch.

"Now the last one standing is the weakest link. How ironic." The eldest of the triplets laughed out, I sobbed uncontrollably and screamed out my discomfort. I felt so much but so little... how was he so true?

This stupid power means nothing.

It means nothing if I can't protect my partner and my friends!

"I think it's enough of goodbyes. Time to die, little one." The female Demon chuckled and bent to grab me, I cried even louder. I didn't want this- I wanted it to stop. I wanted to stop them.

Alchadar suddenly snapped awake and his red eyes froze to the female Demon's hand-- as he sliced it clean off with his blade. The action was so quick that I stared in shock, tears streaming down my face as he held me close to his chest. He was so near of passing out and his heart failing him, yet he refused to give in. He was taking in ragged breaths, the action woke something in me. It was the way he never backed down... for me. "Al...!" His back slumped to my front immediately as he struggled against his tiredness, the shaking of his body making me feel powerless.

Damn, stay still you stubborn Demon!

Worry about yourself!

"Argh! I'll take your third heart for that!" The female Demon growled. Alchadar's body couldn't take the strain as he fell down on me fully, but tried everything in him to stand back up.

I snapped.

"ENOUGH!"

I knocked the hammer of the female Demon's hand, watching it fly away a dozen meters and land to the ground. I took in deep breaths, holding my blade in my hands. I had found my footing and stood protectively in front of Alchadar and Armen- ignoring the pain around my body. The rain drops felt like thousand needles on my bare skin, which made it feel like it was on fire.


"Remember, Faith."

"Well, well. Finally found your footing, mortal?" The oldest of them laughed maniacally, amused of the situation. He took his blaster and pointed it at my head, I felt tug in my head. Alchadar wasn't enjoying it one bit.

I grabbed the blade in my hands tighter, feeling the strange pulse in my ribcage. It made me breathless. My veins were about to burst of the pressure.

"Faith...! Stand down...!" Alchadar pleaded, I could see him barely withstand the injuries and his need to stand up. He tried so hard, however it only fired me up more. Not now, not ever. I'd never let him die before my eyes if it was up to me.

"The vessel must be ready to accept the power of the Holy Light."


"I'll slice her in two if you can't." Zino walked forward and took out his dagger, charging at me. I noticed the gun go off at the same time, as I closed my eyes.

.

.

.

"You're ready, for now."


The invisible pair of hands landed on my back.

And I could feel my world turn 10 times brighter.

My body flung forward, it was on fire. It was directed by this strange power. I could feel the cast snapping in half once I kicked it to the young Demon's face as I slit the bullet apart, and with a quick slice of my blade I sent them crashing into a wall. I looked down, my body was glowing. It was purifying my body and the air, I could feel all the pain disappearing. I stared a little eyes wide.

"Faith...?"

I glanced at Alchadar, noticing the bright light was making a shadow behind his figure. What was happening?

And I felt the female Demon behind me, ready to rip out my heart. It was like a third sense.

"Die-!" She growled but I jumped up, and felt gravity take over as I supernaturally came down faster. I slid my blade with the intention to cut her in half but she dodged- I managed to cut her arm off. I could feel my eyes burn as they met with hers, all the rage build up. "What are you!?"

I could sense punches coming, which was correct as I managed to block her incoming fist and legs from scraping me. I gritt my teeth and bent down, kicking her feet off her. She grabbed my hair and pulled me down, yet I regained and managed to unarm her second hand. Cutting it clean off. Then with quick motion and as a command given to me I struck my blade down, striking it to the Demon's lower abdomen. She cried out in agony and tried to remove my shining blade, yet I dragged it all the way up her torso. I could feel her hearts burst one by one.

"No...!" Was her last words until I felt a tug in my heart, understanding to put two fingers on her forehead. I widened my eyes of the words that spoke themselves.

"Begone, Satan."

I stared in shock as her soul was casted out of the body, she turned into a dust. I stared down at my hands, did I just purify her? Only one things could do that...

Angels.

Am I handling the Holy Light before my eyes-?

"Got you."

I was sent to a wall, a hand wrapped around my throat. I was amazingly calm, this was out of the ordinary. It all dawned to me... it wasn't me controlling this body. It was someone else... or someones. Wait, could it be?

Mom? Dad?

"You'll die for killing our sister." The eldest growled and tried to land a punch on my face, I dodged it with ease. I could feel the tugs in my head, Alchadar was too weak to speak yet he refused to rest. Damn, hot-head. I believe I was more than okay. I grabbed the Demon's head and kicked him straight to the nuts, taking his moment of shock as an advantage as I jumped up and behind his back. I sunk my blade in and managed to grasp four hearts-- until a punch landed my face. "Zino!"

Then gravity took control again. And this time I wasn't going to the ground. I was floating in the air. I looked a little amazed as I just stay there, looking at the Demon brothers. I never flinched. This immense power was overwhelming, I could feel it pulsing through me in waves. I could see and hear their movements, and that was when I sliced the bullets fired at me to pieces. Calm and collected.

"Something's going on, bro." The youngest said, almost faltering under my look. I took straight eye contact. "Look at those eyes... that form. It can't be."

"Yet somehow it is." The elder brother had the courage to walk closer. Demon arrogance as I had happened to be known of. I stared at his black orbs as well, non-fazed. He laughed at that, almost sure of something as he noticed something on my forehead. I was puzzled inside, yet someone refused to show it. "It's the real deal, Zino. You don't get that Insignia if you're not real," He laughed dark, his blaster aimed at my head. "The last Angel standing. How ironic!"

"... How ironic indeed." The words left my mouth, as I was left puzzled. A woman voice, but much more different than mine. Mom? I could feel my body grab my bow in swift movement and an arrow, as I whispered: "Purify." The arrow begun glowing and it was hit straight at the younger one-- hitting his forehead. It went right through and his body stopped moving.

My body fell down but I stood on my feet tall. I watched the body of the Demon slump down, his body turn to dust. I was able to kill it with a single arrow? Purified arrow?

"No!" My body acted once the eldest of them was distracted, as I got behind him. I could feel my blade sunk deep into his chest, feeling the rest three of his hearts give in to the purifying steel. His body stopped moving as he gasped, turning around and grabbing a hold of my shirt. "My Father will-- come after-- you..." And before he hit the ground I put my fingers on his forehead again, whispering purify. He turned to dust before my ehes, blowed away by the wind. The rain stopped immediately.

I was left standing there in shock. My body was worn out yet I didn't feel it, all I felt was warmth and protection.

Mom...

Dad...

My attention snapped up when Alchadar groaned, sitting up against the wall. My body took action as I ran over to everyone, and put my hands out above them. My eyes closed as I could feel concentrating to their heartbeats and wounds-- I could feel and see everyone's pain and suffering. My hands felt warm as I could feel something emmit from my body. It was warm.

"We don't have much time." My mouth moved on it's own again as I opened my eyes, watching eyes wide as pure white light came from my hands. The light shone on my friends-- sealing their wounds and healing their bruices. "You must leave as soon as you can. There is no question that King Belial will come for Faith and you guys, you must hurry on your trip." I looked at Alchadar, still dazzled. My mother was speaking all this?

"Are you...?" Alchadar's wound and bruices was sealing up, but he was stared amazed at my body. I wasn't understanding it either and almost freaked out, but I couldn't. I knew it was my mother and father. And I could feel the tears almost form out because of it. They came for me...

"There is no time. Faith's body can take only so much and it's almost time that we can't help our baby girl anymore... but you do have to know this." My mouth moved, as I felt tears stream down my face. I could feel the strain slowly coming back, I looked down to see the healing process almost finished. I held myself back, I wanted everyone to be okay. They had to be okay. "The winter Kingdom and the Sorcerers will support your cause. Tell them Lailah and Araciel asked for their help in ending this war once and for all. Take our girl to the temple of God--" I hissed and fell on my knees, the strain was coming back. I could feel my head almost bursting.

Alchadar was there in a second, supporting me. He looked down at me worried when my hands finally dropped down to my lap, I glanced to see everyone's physical wounds sealed. My body fell backwards of the exhaustion but not far as Alchadar scooped me up, looking down at my eyes. He was hesitant of them and of the mark, yet I saw nothing more than amazement. He was proud of something.

"The temple of God in East?" Alchadar helped my mother, a smile formed on my lips. It was the both of us as my hand reached forward and touched his cheek, frowning.

"She'll learn to control this power. It has yet awakened, but it will once she'll be trained for it. It's a destructible weapon and it mustn't fall in the wrong hands. I trust you as by her side, you'll make sure of that for us." My mouth spoke, my hand dropping down to my lap. "You were mysterious during the war, General. And yet you remain here standing on this very Earth way past us." I chuckled, wondering to myself. Alchadar and my parents have met?

"It never occured to me, but perhaps I was given another task in life to fulfill someone else's dream." Alchadar smiled down sad, this time trying to meet different eyes behind mine. Was he searching for me? I couldn't think of it as my eyes grew heavy, all the while I could feel myself drift into deep sleep.

"Use it well. Take care of our princess for us."
