A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 3: In Solitude

Darkened. In this place there was not the slightest bit of light that Rion could see. However, with the elf's blood still flowing in his veins, his eyes could overcome this problem.

Tears had dried from Rion's face. However, with still swollen eyes as well as tear marks that can be clearly seen on the cheeks, it is seen that his mood is bad. The gnawing pain, along with the endless pain that was within his chest, made Rion feel like he had fallen to the very bottom of his life.

I don't know how long he's been walking. As a result of the explosion that occurred earlier, Rion lost consciousness.

However, Rion could clearly remember what happened back then. His mother built another barrier that surrounded him, while pushing him with full force, allowing him to move away from his native village immediately.

“IBU ...,” Although Rion wants to shed tears, but his tears have dried up unceremoniously. Making him harbor this deep sadness without any real form. Looking at the dark path in front of him he muttered, “... I went ...”

Srak Srak Srak Srak

Rion's weight loads naturally in every step it takes. Although he knew that everything that happened was irreversible, regret haunted his mind.

Even then, when he was trained in magic by his mother. Rion complained, acted spoiled, and finally gave up.

If, if only he hadn't behaved that way. Maybe he can help his mother in the battle that is happening, maybe he can ease the burden that his mother shouldered. Although a little, maybe not more than a speck of dust in the clash of strength that occurred before, he can help.

“Uhh .. la—“ Rion stopped what she wanted to say, replaced by a wry smile. Now Rion felt that he was completely useless. ‘In the current situation as well, I still want to complain about the hunger and thirst that alighted. ‘

“I should have died ..”, he said, intending to bash his head against a wall until he was killed.

However, the last word her mother said made Rion stop her intentions.

‘Live’

The look on Rion's face was not strange, now he understood how heavy the burden in a word was.

Staring at the dark and winding road, Rion stepped back. The form of a labyrinth-like escape route to avoid the risk of being overtaken by the enemy is now confusing for Rion.

Although he memorized the escape route map that his mother had told him many times. However, what happened before made Rion not know his position for sure. Along with fatigue both physical and mental that has accumulated, Rion was unable to think well.

Using the tunnel walls to support his body. Rion walked down the road slowly, trying not to trip or slip with the soil that began to feel moist.

As a small flash of light started to appear in his eyes, Rion tried to speed up the pace.

Seeing that this is really one way out. Rion murmured sadly, “My mother is indeed the best parent ...”

Even in that precarious situation, he did not necessarily push Rion away without direction. Rion's mother keeps her eyes on Rion to push her on the right track.

Brucks

Rion fell down, resting himself who was unable to withstand this burden any longer. However, the look on Rion's face showed extreme pain.

She said softly, “Mother ...”

***

As Rion's eyes opened heavily again, his eyes narrowed instantly, trying to adapt to the bright light that suddenly flooded in. With the sun rising, Rion awoke from sleep, a sleep experience that could be said to be the worst for him.

Even in his dream the disaster played back, again, again, and again. Repeatedly with the same scene, a scene in which he could do nothing. Can only see how the end of his mother's history.

“It was all not a dream, yes ...”

Rion tried to cover the sunlight with his hands. ‘It was real, the disaster really happened, mom ... may have been gone.’

Rion exhaled a long breath. Set deep in his mind to try to fulfill his mother's last words.

Waking up from where he was, Rion stared at the wilderness that was in front, a place that was completely unknown to him. A little fear came as he began to step, with this one step, his journey to be able to live without his mother had begun.

The sound of leaves rubbing against each other, as well as the sound caused by the small animals filled Rion's ears. A voice that sounded foreign to him, even though this was the voice he had always heard.

Rion turned his head in one direction as his ears caught a voice. The voice that in this short time had been very familiar to him, the voice of a fight!

Explosion after explosion captured the ears, making Rion involuntarily step into the source of the sound. To think that it came from his mother, even though it was impossible.

Booms!

A sudden explosion occurred near where Rion was, he was blown away, with blood coming out of the wound.

A white fox with nine tails appeared before Rion's eyes, before long, eleven humans appeared in uniform robes. It was seen that the humans were saying something, but with a considerable distance from where Rion was, he could not hear it.

The light emanating from the magic began to be seen, but soon the nine-tailed white fox physically attacked.

The wind blew fiercely along with the explosion that ravaged the surroundings. Rion turned his body, running away from this place as quickly as possible accompanied by explosions from the battles that were happening around him.

With injuries sustained, Rion ran over limping. Clenching her teeth, Rion tried to endure the pain.

“I must fulfill Mother's wish .. I must live!”

BOOM UP!

A much louder explosion than before occurred, sending Rion crashing even further along with new wounds appearing.

Rion's gaze started to blur, he just stared ahead as he tried to move his legs even faster. The voices that filled his hearing slowly disappeared, along with him who no longer cared about the surroundings.

‘Run, run, run, run!’

That thought filled Rion's mind, if he wanted to meet his mother's expectations then first he should be able to run away from this situation, with which he could live.

Whether it was luck in misfortune or what, the sound of the fight seemed to be sounding away. It is not clear to him that the ear can no longer pick up sound with focus.

“I ... congratulations?” A question was asked when Rion woke up, but no one could answer it.

Rion moved his body, but the pain soon accompanied. While trying to endure the pain, Rion began to step up. By searching for wild fruits that he could eat, Rion's stamina began to recover.

“Magic: Heal.”

Rion's few wounds recovered with a green light that now enveloped his wound. This was the only magic he had learned, it was so bad that the recovery effect was extremely weak.

“Fou ...,” A weak voice suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of Rion.

Rion sharpened his ears, trying to hear the voice again but it was not heard anymore.

“Did I hear wrong?”

“Fou ...”

Rion nodded, he did not mishear. Rising from his place, he searches for the source of the sound until he finds it. Behind the thickets, a snow-white fox appeared to be weakly sprawled with wounds that filled his body.
