Z is sleeping on the ground.
Eyes closed, body rests.
Liora sits beside him watching him as he sleep.
Liora felt something is off.
The old man who fought Z before appears again.
Why... Why are you still alive?!
He's angry, yelling, you can feel the anger just by looking at him.
He flashstep behind Z trying to kill him but Liora blocks with her bare hands.
What are you doing?
You can't do something like that.
She's calm, no reaction at all but just curious why's he mad.
Why is there a curse in my temple?!
And why are you protecting him?!
He must be dead. NOW!
The old man whistles, every single creature in the temple shows up behind him.
Liora watches.
Those are flame users through the centuries.
But they have different shape and face...
They seems human but burnt.
The old man moves his finger pointing at Z.
Meanwhile...
Z's dreaming about... Future?
Z walking around where everything is burned. Ashes. Everything around him is black.
He walks around, dead bodies, charred ruins.
He stands in the middle and blinks once.
Kurayami appears infront of him chained with golden white chains.
Z realized he don't feel fear again.
He asks the Curse.
Why am I not afraid anymore?
The Curse looks at him.
Isn't obvious? I'm chained with blessed chains.
I can't control your body or your emotions while this thing inside me.
The chains around his hands, head, legs, and inside his chest.
Why... Why you chose me?
Z asks curiously.
Your father is cursed. Aslong as someone from the same family is cursed, its easy for me to control the next child.
And I Chose You because you're the only one that can handle me.
Curses like me is strong enough to kill once I enter random body. But you... You're strong enough to handle me and the cursed versions.
So everytime you kill me I redo it from the beginning?
The Curse took a deep breath.
No. Those are visions. Happens in your mind not in the real world.
I kill you, yes. But everytime I kill you I can control a part of you.
Then how is it very realistic and happens again in the real world if you're saying that's just a vision.
A vision from the future. I know what happens next because I'm a Curse.
If so, why it didn't happen exactly like the vision?
I'm a Curse who gives you vision to the future only.
Z knew he can't say why. So he asked again.
How can I stop this curse or get it out of me.
Kurayami smurks.
Get it out? Don't you see me? I'm literally you!
You can't get rid of me.
You can't hide from me.
You can't leave this suffering.
As I said before...
I'm you, and you're me.
Z gets angry and punches him in the face.
Kurayami moves his mouth saying random words but Z can't hear him.
Z blinks again.
He wakes up to the real world.
He senses something is strong around him.
He sits up...
Liora fighting the flames users with her iced blade.
The blade is full of scratches and about to break.
Z stands up fast but he got dizzy just by standing up.
His didn't recover fully yet and his body is very weak.
Z tries to use his power but it seems locked.
He can't use his power or body until he recovers.
While he's watching Liora fighting a whole army, she's killing them one by one with her blade.
She wipes three of the flame users in one swing.
But after fighting for long her blade cracks.
The blade shatters into pieces leaving no weapon for Liora.
But Liora's reaction didn't change but even go more serious and uses her bare hands.
Punch, two, three.
One down.
But Liora feels so weak she didn't get enough rest.
But she didn't stop...
She continues without any pressure inside her mind.
Just fighting without feeling her body is getting weaker.
She misses one punch, the old man took the chance.
He's already infront of her about to end her.
Time slows down.
Z watches that in very slow motion he can clearly see him about to end Liora...
but he can't move yet.
Z feels angry and frustrated because he can't do anything but watch.
.
.
.
Blood running through Liora's mouth.
She received the hit...
As Z was watching this scene in silence.
He can't watch any longer anymore.
He stands up.
He walks slowly.
Everything around him is more likely stopped moving.
Time stopped at this moment.
Z walks slowly toward the old man.
He reached him...
A smurk on Z's face was written.
.
.
.
Z points at the old man.
Die.
A dark flame came out of that finger pointing at the man, Z fires.
The old man vanished like he never existed.
A hysterically laugh from Kurayami.
Z was moving but he felt controlled.
Kurayami was controlling his brain.
He again point his finger to the next flame user.
Shoots.
Vanished.
Kurayami's power is just terrifying.
He does this for just few seconds and everyone is already dead.
Z can't think or use his body.
Its like a dead body moving by its own.
No eyes just pure black.
Z's body stands in the middle.
Liora watches.
She didn't react.
Just watching in silence.
She takes out the sword from her stomach and throws it away.
She enters her hands inside her chest.
A glowing sword came out of her body.
As she took out the sword and about to get back Z alive.
Z's body was already behind her.
She didn't feel or sense him moving.
She turns her head slowly and a punch came across her face.
Liora flies back, trying to stand still.
But not even a second and Z is beside her.
Times slow and she watches him saying random moves.
She didn't hear him but her chest tightens and weird feeling was running though her body.
She feels fear.
She can move anymore her body stops completely and only feels fear.
Z was about to punch her again ending her, but he stopped.
Z takes control of his body slowly fighting the curse.
He again gives a punch but this time it was inside not outside.
He hits kurayami again taking complete control again.
Z wakes up really this time but he can now see everything around him.
Liora is laying on the floor with alot of blood around her face and stomach... Shaking..
