The Dark Slayer's
[S2] Chapter 7 Part 2
Darwis and I entered a simple building vigilantly, fearing that there would be another danger like before. “It seems safe,” said Darwis after confirming from the entrance.
Slowly, we entered the building. It's empty there, nothing. The floor is so dirty with dust. “Yes, it is still better than having to walk in the forest in wet conditions.” Unwilling to mind the situation, I casually sat in the corner of the room. “But, it seems in the middle of the city sunny weather.”
“If you really want to go there, then go, I don't have a problem alone.”
He seems to be upset by what I said. Ah, never mind, I'd better prepare myself for reality later.
Little by little, the rain began to subside. I was cold because I wasn't wearing clothes. However, Dervish is not like that even though he is also not dressed. Maybe because I was weak, it was like this.
For a moment, Darwis looked at me. “You ready?”
“What do you mean?”
“Forget it!” He looked back somewhere else.
You freak, I don't even know what he meant. However, forget it just as he said. Many times I sighed, and sometimes suck gathered energy into the crystal that was in my chest. There's nothing else I do, even if it doesn't matter either.
Not noticeably, the rain had subsided, on the other side of the room, Dervish stood staring out behind the shattered window. The sun began to shine on the earth as before. However, my body still did not want to leave this place. I was tired of facing all these annoying things alone, wanting to complain, but it was useless and just wasted energy.
Dervish suddenly sat on the floor, he closed his eyes and regulated breathing. It seems he wants to gather energy, but why not just now. It sucks! It turned out that he was a fool who could not make the best use of his time.
Even though I was upset, I still appreciated it by waiting. After all, it's a pretty good time to be chirping. I knew he would soon take me to the middle of the city after accumulating a lot of energy. No need to rush, better enjoy the time while you can.
I don't know why, I remember someone. Maybe because they are similar or something else. I hope my past memories are quickly revealed, so that I can be calmer and face every problem without anyone stuttering my mind.
Oi! Suddenly my ears heard the voice of someone I knew. When glancing around, there was no sign of the presence of the person.
“Who is it?” As I stood, looking for the whereabouts of the man.
I'm right here. Where are you facing?
Once again I'm concerned about finding the man's whereabouts. However, there was no one around. In addition, Darwis is also still imprisoned without regard for the environment, including me.
You can't see me with your eyes, because I'm in your mind.
My thoughts?
Yes, I'm here, invisible, but there is.
You're-you're Ellise, right?
You still remember me ....
Unknowingly, my tears had flowed down my cheeks. What an atmosphere I missed, even though our meeting was short, but it felt like a long time ago that our relationship grew. And now, he came to me, not with his usual form, but only as a soul that was in my mind.
Looks like, you don't need me anymore .. Then, goodbye, Leon.
It all ends with that word. I don't know if it was a dream or reality. However, I'm already too fed up with what happened. That's why, I'll take it ....
Regretted? There is no feeling in me. For a long time I wanted to throw away what was called feeling, but never once delivered. Is my destiny this bad?
“You okay?” Suddenly the Dervish was in front of me. “Their eyes drip.”
“Eh?” Immediately I wiped my tears with both hands. “Ti-nothing.”
“Then let's go! Long stay here means nothing.”
“Ah, yes.” I got up, followed Darwis to walk to the exit.
Outside, all the places had been wet by the rain some time ago. In addition, there are no signs of a person's presence. This is not a strange thing, especially the possibility that the chaos that occurred is not only here, but elsewhere as well.
I breathed the air so fresh, then exhaled it slowly. Not bad, freshness directly penetrates all over the body. Even so, I also have to remain vigilant, such as there are enemies around.
“What will we do next? The food had run out, the distance between this place and the middle of the city was quite far. Need to walk for approximately a few hours to reach it, that's what I expected after seeing a tall monument while it was hovering in the air.”
Still continuing to walk while sneaking among the old buildings that are not used, Darwis replied to my words, “We no longer need to find food. Just use the energy stored in your crystal alone to survive.”
“Can it be?”
“Sure, I've practiced it myself.”
It turns out that the cause of his thin body is dry and malnourished. Once again I breathe. Actually, I was a little distracted by this long claw on my left hand, but there was nothing I could do but surrender to accept reality.
“Starting from here, we can't let our guard down even for a second. Our distance with the middle of the city is near.”
I nodded, agreeing to Darwis' orders. The atmosphere became more tense, as the end of the day approached. “But, as much as possible we have to rest tonight.”
Suddenly, Darwis turned his gaze to me, his eyes were sharp and very intimidating. “This fight will start tonight. You should know that this forest will be destroyed when the time comes. That's why, all the Clans are fighting it out to get out of here before the day of destruction arrives.”
“How long has this forest been around?”
“About one year more.”
“Where do you know of it.”
Darwis turned his gaze forward. “Today I've been figuring it out by walking around every corner of the forest. Not an exact number, but my hunch says that. And also, about the day of destruction, it has been seen when the events streak so far. If you think about it, can't it destroy the forest?”
I remember, so it was time. I almost forgot the important thing, the first time I intended to go to the northern region was to avoid an attack coming from the south.
