Chapter 2 - the woman of illusions

Swan flew through the hole that's in the ceiling and exited the place , she realized that this place is actually underground to the village

"Guys over here!" She shouted

and how are we gonna make it up there…

Lana crossed her hands and said with uncertainty

Leon noticed that there was rubble tall enough to reach the ceiling caused from the explosion

"Lana let's climb this rubble "

They climbed it together

Leon holding her hands protectively

They made it to the top gasping for air

Leon : let's get out of this village quickly

—All The villagers were surrounding them holding pitchforks

Swan : "that's not gonna be easy"

She said referring to the villagers

Lana : pffft seriously pitchforks we ain't scared of that

Then their pitchforks ends started

Burning emitting fire!

Swan : *lays an egg*

"We're cooked!"

Leon unsheathed his sword

His sword start emitting the color blue

As if water particles are floating around the sword

"Get ready to fight" he said tightening his grip on his sword and taking a fighting stance

Lana : nod*

she summons a dagger

And emits the color red as if the dagger is emitting flames of different colours

One of the villagers : "we can't let them get Away! Our life is at stake , master won't let this slide this time" he said with desperation

As they were about to clash and attack!

The sky above the village turned foggy

And purple…

THUNDER RUMBLING!

All the villagers ducked and fell to the ground!

From a distance they can see a woman..

She walked towards them…

Slowly.. unhurried as if time bent to her will

No expression no hesitation

They didn't move

Couldn't

Her gaze pinned them in place

The moment they blinked

Everything turned black~

As if they were blinded

Lana : heavy breathing*

She looks around her

Leon!? Swan!?

Nobody was there and she couldn't hear a thing

She started attacking the air

Then the dagger that was in her hand vanished without her control

( breaths heavily)

She could hear her voice inside her head

" no.. this can't be.. it can't end like this!"

She sees the woman in the pitch dark place from a distance .. staring at her

Lana : blinks*

The woman is now closer!

As if she's staring deep into her soul

One thing stood out about her..

She has a very long flickering ribbon tied to a blindfold in her eyes , floating in the dark space

As if its playing a melody and narrating a story as if it was a lingering past passed down from generations

Lana blinked again , when she opened her eyes she woke up laying down

In the middle of an unfamiliar forest

Her body sore

Her head hazy with fragments of memories that hadn't settled yet

Lana jolted awake, her body snapping upright.

She gasped, her breath coming in sharp bursts…

Then it hit her.

The last thing she remembered—

The woman ..

The memory of her was stuck in her head like painting

Lana : Where are they?

Her eyes darted looking around , scanning looking for swan and Leon

"Swan? Leon?" she called out, her voice strained.

A figure stepped through the trees.

It was Swan.

Lana let out a shaky breath, her shoulders relaxing as relief washed over her.

Swan : "Hah… Déjà vu," she said with a soft laugh. "Funny, this is exactly how we met. You waking up in the woods,scared ready to kill anything in front you"

Lana gave a weak smile, but her voice was urgent.

"Where's Leon?"

Swan's smile faded slightly. She sat beside Lana and shook her head

"I couldnt find him"…
