*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
My heart was working overtime again probably feeding my brain; This was the body of someone about to be pummeled.
She shut her eyes, and when it opened it reverted back to the original blue.
[What's with all the eye color switching]
Proceeding to slowly walk towards me like a predator that had surrounded its prey.
"You know what Fern Lun...", a blue aura enveloped her similar to how my body was, except mine was red. "...It seems like I have a lot to teach, cocky attendant." she was a person of few words true and true.
*Crack*
The ground beneath her feet began to crack with each of her footsteps from the mere immensity of her strange power.
As soon as the aura clicked in she accelerated towards me like never before. All this time she had been on the defensive and I had failed to put that into consideration until now, it would cost me a lot.
*Clang*
Blow for Blow
It was obvious that her new strange power was too much for me to keep up with, and it only seemed to intensify with each passing period.
"Remember this feeling Fern Lun for it may very well save your life together with those you seek to protect in the future"
*Zoom*
She had graduated into a new class of power.
A class of power in which her speed, precision, and striking strength were through the roof
I could not register her image anymore, just a blur.
[Danger]
I blocked with my shield
[Danger]
I parried with my sword receiving the full force of the backlash
[Danger]
I moved to the side in a last-ditch effort
[Danger]
*Slash*
[Danger]
*Slash*
[Danger]
Alexa was nowhere to be seen but i could still faintly see a blue blurred light moving across the arena we were in.
I could not keep up with her in anyway.
This was it for me
It all went grey for a second
"Greetings my liege", said a voice from my head
I panicked for a minute looking out for who called out to me while trying to pay attention for Alexa's next relentless strike
*THUMP*
My heart!!!
My body tried to recover from these wound Alexa inflicted on me at the same time trying to keep up with my aura empowering my body with foreign energy.
I couldn't take it anymore
I was about to crash
*thump*
"Aaaarrrrrgh... help me"
*thump*
*thump*
"ALEXA... help"
Everything was falling down.... I was falling down
The last thing i saw in front of me was Alexa
Not the blur
Alexa
I felt her touch on my forehead before everything went dark
What was with the incessant forehead touching all the time?
It was soothing till the end
...
"Welcome back Lord King"
I found myself in the same void I woke from, pain and exhaustion was all over me I struggled to move.
[What crime did i commit for my after life to be this]
All I could see in the vastness of this void was darkness, but the voice that spoke seemed to be very close by. How did that even work?
"Wait, can you tell me how I got here?"
*Buzz*
The noise created was able to permeate my ear drums and it was not a pleasant noise.
Why couldn't anyone just answer a question without playing some sort of mind games.
"Why am I, here?"
No response
"May I leave"
No response
"Okay Alexa, I get it you and the others are superior, I know my place is at the bottom, may I leave now?"
No response
This was a game to whoever put me here, this was a game i was not interested in playing now or ever with anyone.
It was simple, I'd just wait here till Alexa gets tired and frees me from the mind prison, except she was petty and relentless.
I may very well die here.
....
After standing in the darkness for about five hours i was starting to lose my sanity
"Just tell me what the hell you want?!"
My voice resonated across the void send an echo through the vast infinity just for me to be met with silence again
"You said I was your king, so... I command you to answer me..."
I was a king before, it had to mean something right?
"My liege, what is it you seek?"
"Who are you"
Utter silence
"Who am I?"
"Who better to answer the question than to you."
"What does that even mean?"
Utter silence
I just ignored the silence and kept on asking questions to see if there was one it could respond to
"Where am I?
"You are currently at the gateway..."
"Gateway to where?"
Utter silence
"How do I leave here"
"In order to leave the gateway, you have to will yourself out of here, if not you will be here for all eternity"
Eternity?
What does that mean?
Will myself?
What more is the fact that I want out of this madness already?
"How do I do that?"
"Face me in combat..."
*Foom*
Yellow tendrils of light shot out of thin air illuminating the darkness.
It appeared to be aimed at me.
Even as slow as it moved, I could not dodge it
"Aaaahggghh... Why would you hit your king?"
More pain seeped into me from nowhere
My vision turned red, which was ironic given how dark the void vas
"King, you say? How many battles have you lost in the span of twenty-four hours?..."
"Battles?", [ I am starting to get extremely confused]
"A king losses to no one..."
*Foom*
Five more tendrils appeared brighter and faster than before
I tried again to dodge but to no avail
"How you fell from grace, King..."
Twenty-five more tendrils appeared
[Danger!!!!]
*Foom*
I managed to move this time, but all the tendrils still found their way to me
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!!!!"
*Foom*
*Foom*
*Foom*
*Foom*
*Foom*
It just kept coming, an infinite number of yellow tendrils of light all pointed at me in different directions
I looked up, there was a legion of Tendrils
I looked down, the same
Even left and right
It was surprising looking below my feet to find tendrils there as well
There was no escaping
"...I want you to win, King..."
"And how do you suggest I do that?"
"You fight back... If you win, I'll free you..."
"How do I hit darkness"
About ten tendrils came spiraling toward, and there was nothing I could do about it
More pain seeped in; it consumed me to the point I almost lost all motor functions
"How do I win against light?"
Utter silence
Legions of tendrils came spiraling towards
[Union of fear and rage, do not disappoint me, not now.]
[Come on dammit]
"NOOOOOO"
*Boom*
My aura came out in a fit of power and explosion causing bright orange fumes to form around the infinity I stood on.
When the fumes dissipated only red light illuminated the void, red light from me.
My aura
"Very impressive", said a voice from behind me
I turned to look at it
"No no King... I can't make it that easy now, can I?", the voice was behind me again
"Make what easy? Who are you?", I am definitely going to find out
After all I have eternity on my side.
I turned again; this time faster than before
"No, you don't", the voice whispered into my ear from behind me sending a shiver up my spine
"I beat your game... Send me out"
"Very well," the figure behind me started a maniacal laughter "try not to die again this time... If you do you will not leave here again. I must be fair to you as well.... have this", a red light shot into me filling me with power then diminishing instantaneously
The figure had lost it.
Apparently, it found me amusing, and it made sure I was aware of it
A cold object that felt like a finger touched my heading lightly slowly zapping all my strength till my aura faded out, everything turned dark
I started a free fall across infinity...
....
