*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
In the bright light of the Moonlit sky, storm rages on beneath its twin regal display. One violet lightning bolt after another, the thick forest seems to start thinning out as he have paved our way forward. Hunters rush in from all side firing their shots and bows but they can't seem to pierce his lightning barrier while those that got too close or didn't run far enough from us got electrocuted or burn to crisp by Zenon leading with unbridled power of nature's wrath.
"Woah! His power never cease to amaze me."
"Don't you know? Zenon's using the same magic as Jin-Yeon Ssi."
"What?"
"I thought you figured out by his display."
"Oh..."
(I wonder how crazy most Pioneers and Special Rank are? I mean the second Special Rank I met was able to turn the whole open hall into an artic hell with whirlwinds. I can't even imagine what kind of destruction the Void Explorer can achieve).
"Though, he's still like the early Jin-Yeon where he can only summon bolts from his body, if its Jin-Yeon now, she would disperse the winter and call upon a hurricane and thunder. Turning the whole place into a death zone of lightning and well... Storms."
"Cool!"
"Mighty brave of you to gossip behind my back ladies! Tell me why I shouldn't shoot you here as well!?"
"Eeek!"
With how much he deforest the place, the trap they laid for us seems to be destroyed along the way as we just rush ahead. Snow still falls over even when amethyst flames burn around us. The sensation of burning heat at my side, the warmness on my back, while thin coldness fall from above us, I felt a bit uncomfortable with all the different temperatures going around my body. But it seems we have arrived at the Temple as it seems to been guarded by a group of Hunters with heavy armour.
(Great, when I enter I can drop Ye-Hua off).
Like usual, Zenon starts by firing bolts of purple lightning as they seems to just run away.
(What's the point of guarding it if they're just gonna run away?)
As we reach the Temple door, Zenon stands guard at the entrance shouting:
"Alright! Get inside you two! I'll hold them back! And come assist me quickly afterwards, Ye-Hua Ssi!"
"Right!"
"Okay! Good luck!"
As I rush into the entrance, I let Ye-Hua down as she brush and lower her skirt and hold her staff properly saying:
"Thank you! Now let's go! This is all on you now when we reach the boss room!"
I run ahead saying:
"Right! Cover me, I know where the boss room is!"
Ye-Hua follows suit asking:
"You do!?"
*BOOM* *BOOM*
Hearing the sound of explosion and a flash of light from both side, I realize at our back is Zenon then it could only be... I raise my arm and easily catch the oncoming projectile like catching a thrown ball... But this ball is made out of metal.
"Eeek!? W-What the hell is that!?"
Ye-Hua summons orbs of light when I realize...
"It's a cannon ball it seems."
"The hell!? You catched it!?"
"Yea, now let's go."
"What do you mean "Yea, let's go" huh!?"
(Here I thought it might be harder then again I block attacks that are more devastating than this, so I guess it's not that bad. Only problem is...)
I look at my hand and see some tiny burn and scorch marks. I run ahead again this time extending my spear as Ye-Hua follow behind me shouting:
"Wait, don't just leave me hanging with something that shocking! Anyways! {Barrier}!"
"Thanks!"
Seeing her lighting the way and erecting the barrier, I could finally see the forking path where it seems there are Hunters setting up the cannon. As I got close I could hear,
"Holy shit, hahaha right! There's no way she caught that cannon's shot! It's the mage behind her! Target her now! Fire again! Magic-Piercing rounds this time!"
"Right sir!"
Hearing their conversation, I quickly shout:
"Ye-Hua I heard they're about to fire some Magic-Piercing rounds, can you barrier handle that?"
"What!? W-Wait! You can hear what? More like what did you say!? With my energy now my barrier can't handle their shot!"
"Fine..."
(Since nobody can pick up my spear easily I guess...)
I hold my spear for another Javelin throw, steadily aiming and...
"Shoot!"
I leap my spear as they fire, my spear easily cut through their cannonball and continue on as I see them get away.
*Pierce*
My spear soon puncture the cannon and stuck to the wall-
*BOOM*
The same cannon exploded lighting the corridor with raging flames and explosion but thanks to Ye-Hua's barrier we're unaffected. But it seems that explosion and flames had expanded the area and burn the wooden walls all around.
"Aaargh!", "It burns!", "Healer! We need a Healer! Aasrgh!", "Somone help! Arrrgh!"
(Get use to this. This is not the first time I cause so much pain... I really can't get use to this).
Reaching the fork, I pull the spear out easily and keep going ahead ignoring their plea for help. Running fast enough so Ye-Hua could follow along, I look back asking:
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine! More like do you even need my help!? Your physical abilities are just phenomenal it's hard to believe you don't use magic! I really shouldn't judge your looks!"
"Either way, keep your barrier up! It really helps just now so that's a huge help."
"Well happy you say that, but keep looking ahead!"
"Don't worry we'll reach the boss room soon at our pace."
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Are you saying you've been here before!?"
(Wait, does knowing that place agitate her? I suppose I shouldn't make her mad again).
"It's more of echolocation, it helps me tell which way to go."
"And your hearing is that good too!? You must have like some peak human body or something!"
"Yea..."
Before long we pass through the safe room as I wonder how those three are doing and realize the area is brighter and have an open ceiling...
(Oh no-)
*Shiing* *clang*
Sensing an energy slice coming ahead, I raise my spear as it slice through her barrier and I parry it upwards with my spear.
"Eek! My barrier!"
*Flutter* *Flutter*
Landing infront of me with grace, is none other than the one they call Moonlight Swordsman accompanied by the short haired beast-kin from before.
"Chu-Son let's do this! Revenge will be ours!"
"..."
"Chu-Son?"
As we stare at each other it seems we both realize something.
"Ei, get in the safe room."
"What!?"
"Ye-Hua Ssi, I think you should go there too."
"Wait a second!"
They both complain when I look back saying:
"Sorry to say but it seems he's too much for you. Especially when you're already weakened, Ye-Hua Ssi."
"Sova, the safe room rules don't apply to us adventurers when we're taking the promotion quest!"
"I'm sorry? Where did you know that?"
Now my turn to ask how she knows that, she shakes her head replying:
"I heard it from Zenon who aquire that info before the trial begins. That's why we camped at that hidden spot. But you're right! I'll head back and try to help Zenon now... I'm sorry, everything seems to fall apart because of me."
"It's fine. Accidents can happen now go help Zenon from letting more Hunters enter."
"Right! Good luck Sova!"
"Good luck to you, and may the spirit bless you."
Ye-Hua nods and runs back into the corridor when I look back seeing the Moonlight Swordsman chop the back neck of the beast-kin knocking her out.
"Go accompany your comatose sister idiot!"
He throws her in the room when I realize that just in that moment I can see how crowded that place is.
"Now, shall we?"
"Alright..."
We both stride forward taking our stance, as he took a high sword stance. Looking close he is a man not much older than me, wearing minimal armour that cover only his vitals as he carry two swords on his waist with one of them already pulled out. I took a lower spear stance saying:
"Sorry, Moonlight Swordman but I'm passing through."
I subtly coat my spear as it glows with a tint of purple and it seems he too realize the danger as he pulls both his swords and flashes it up in blue light.
"So you've been holding back all this time? Come then!"
I gather the power on my feet and hips as I once again use my body to dash ahead with all I have. He raise his sword in hurry as the two moons above must have boost him. His body glows blue as he disappear with a burning blaze over his eyes. Sensing an attack coming from two opposite direction of left and right, I dodge and counter back making a huge swing.
*CLANG*
Our weapons clash when he appear infront of me with a bright blue trail while I stopped his attack, realizing he's wearing a different clothes and wielding a different weapon altogether. He unleashes another flurry of blows aiming at my shoulder and knees as I easily parry them as I move back-
*Smash*
"Urk!"
Using all those attack as feint, just like before he somehow land a heavy blow with his fist at my stomach as I realize he's not even carrying his blade but letting it float. As he is about to move, I dash back thinking,
(Sorry Moonlight Swordsman but I won't let you use your skills to prolong this fight!)
[Immortal Tormentor Crane Technique, pillar path: Piercing the Heavens].
Looking surprised from beneath his visor as I ready to attack, he swing his blade, I gather my power at my soles to boost my speed and unleash my all. As my swift attack is about to pierce I could see his eyes shine brighter than before, feeling like if he is pulling up power from somewhere, bright blue steam seems to burst from the small opening in his mouth and his blue light turns black as if swallowing the light.
In an instant I felt an attack coming from all direction and cancel my movement and pull back.
*SLASH* *SLASH* *SLASH* *SLASH* *SLASH* *SLASH*
(Huh!? The hell!?)
The whole area I stand gets engulf with a black aura darker than ink. He appears before me in a new set of raven black armour holding a single edge dark sword that seems to swallow its surrounding.
(Slabber Dutch sandwich! I really have no time for this! I wonder if my skills are enough? And what kind of food is that?)
I pulled in the cold air and let out a warm breathe. I'll have to use one of my strongest skill my mind can pull. In the middle of my thoughts, the moonlight swordman continues his assault as I realize his attacks are almost impossible to hold back as each attack makes my arms tremble.
(Strong! Is he really High-Rank!?)
*SMASH*
Again he landed a punch but this time directly to my face as his attack blinded me for a while and I felt pain all over my head as something cuts over my body.
"Arrgh!"
But one thing is clear from that punch...
(It's much weaker than the previous 2 punches before. So he's burning through using that transformation it seems!)
Grasping at hope like straws, delving deep into my mind I felt my head being ripped apart as I try to pull out some techniques hidden like back then when a splitting headache overcomes my mind and the moonlight swordman brings another blow. I raise my spear to block as I feel my finger going numb for an instant thinking and I fell to my knees,
[Immortal calamity dragon technique and silver tiger god technique combined, Armageddon path: Radiant of Ruin!]
(Fiest step!)
I redirect his sword to the side and hastily deliver a diagonal slice as my spear shines brightly with purple light. He dodges back as I stand and continue my onslaught and makes a huge horizontal swing,
(Second Step!)
Using the momentum of that swing I spin and strike down as he redirect my attack but I continue using the pummel at the end and strike his sword down living him open for an instant which is all I need!
(Third Step!)
I spun my shoulders to thrust my spear after that huge swing but maybe because of that he manages to raise his sword in time to parry.
(Hot Belgian waffles! I suppose this is what happens when I never train with my techniques!)
*PIERCE*
(Huh?)
My attack, or more like my spear shattered his bursting black sword and I find him missing 2 thirds of his torso and left leg while opening a new ceiling above as I land behind him with my last step. So clean and swift is my attack my spear has no trace if blood as I pass through him. Seeing the moonlight lighting up the damp corridor and the darkness vanishing I realize,
(Fuuh! No time to rest! I should be glad I have a powerful weapon... And what's a Hot Begian Waffles!? And where did all the food names come from!?)
Before he lost his will to stand as he reverts from that raven black armour, I rush back and kick him onto the safe room door that easily opens with a push. In that brief moment the door open wide, I see his body fling and smash to the fountain and crash into the dirty water, I could see everyone in the room panics and shock before the door finally closed.
(I'm sure he can survive now. Seeing how much many are depending on me, I won't hold back!)
I continue running ahead deeper to where I ambushed those group. Seeing the stairs I descend with a jump and thanks to the tall ceiling it was easy to reach the bottom in second as I close my eyes-
"Raaagh!"
(Why is it people always attack me with sneak attacks?)
Landing at the bottom, someone swings a huge hammer that is bigger than me and I simply raise my spear and stop it easily as it cracks the wooden floor beneath me.
*Crash*
(Weird that a hammer strike is lighter than his sword slash).
"T-The fuck!? H-How did you-"
Losing my patience a bit, I push the hammer back at him and plunge the spear at his stomach easily piercing his armour and tore open his belly when,
"Brother! Raaagh! Taste this! The might that could crack mountains!
[Highland Fist Techniques: Mountain splitter!]"
From my side, I see someone huge swinging his fist at me wearing some kind of brass knuckle.
(I understand most of the weapons they use but brass knuckles? Is that really for hunting monsters?)
I raise my free left arm and catch his fist dead at its track.
"W-Wha the!? You're an Owlian aren't you? How did you catch my attack with that thin- aaaaaaaagh!"
I clench my fist destroying his brass knuckle and it seems cushing the bones in his arms is pretty easy too...
(Yea, didn't expect it to be that easy but I need to stop overdoing it).
Grasping his arms till he falls to his knees, he use his other arms trying to rip my left arm away but I'm not budging. In last ditch attempt he is about to punch me with the same hand but I pull him close and headbutt him, caving his face in and finally letting him go as the two brothers fell unconscious on the floor.
"Right, now that's all out of the way..."
*Grab*
I feel him grab my leg as I realize I didn't notice he's awake with how swollen his eyes are. Or caved in.
"I haven't lose yet!"
"You know if you still have this much energy, you could just use this chance to carry that bother of yours to the safe room right?"
"Arrrgh!"
He holds my leg with both his arms as if he's trying to crush it but I simply drop my spear on his back.
*Crash*
"Aaargh! I... Ugh..."
His arms falls limp and lets me go while I pick up the spear again and approach the giant door. Seeing its great figure of wood and stone, I place my hand forth and push the door open...
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
Unlike the other places so far, seeing it made of cobblestone and steel pillar, with walls of dark brown wood, and floor of dirt and mud, lighten only by the small openings at the ceiling giving moonlight. At the centre where one pillar seems to limelight someone, a single man sits alone at the room with a giant figure sealed behind hundred of chains on every limb behind him.
Seeing it struggle and trying to break free the man doesn't seem to care. That's until he looks at me and stands on his feet saying:
"I'm surprised you made it here, welcome! Star Child!"
It's the same voice as the guy who told me to surrender. A man in his early thirties wearing a magical-looking scale armour walks forward saying:
"To be honest, I'm impressed you defeated all 3 of my High Rank level Hunters. But it seems your party must be cut short. I'm a High Rank level as well, but I'm cut above the rest-"
*Slash* *Shiing*
To my surprise, from the darken corners of the boss room, a beast-kin of pure silver fur comes forth bearing its fangs. With its rending claws that shines bright of pure golden fire, its strike severed the leader figure in two.
*Splat* *Splat*
As if he didn't realize his demise, the leader figure with his eyes opened wide, his mouth open and close as if wanting to say something but no words comes out. Now that the new threat has stopped moving, I look at the new assailant. From his silver his tail, ears and eyes. That's when I realize it's the same silver wolf-kin when I first arrived here, this time Wielding a mystical gauntlet with claws in his arms, armour of steel and wood along with the greaves with claws of the same mystic nature.
(Did he come to save me? And it seems he got himself some upgrade).
As he turns around glaring at me, he raises his feet and smash the lifeless head of that leader figure. With blood dripping down his limbs, he approach me slowly saying:
"Finally, let's settle this. For what you did to my master!"
(Right definitely not here to save me... But, if he's after me, doesn't that mean these Guardian of the Forest knows who I really am!? Oh... Well... I wonder if I can still stay here?)
I took a deep breathe in and out as I take a stance-
"Raaagh!"
Without giving me any chance he strikes first with a huge leap and I respond by thrusting but he somehow jumps mid-air and proceed to jump behind me while I swing my spear back in retaliation with one arm. Moving faster than when I first met him, or anyone I ever met, my eyes can't keep up with his speed when he stops my spear dead in its track, holding the shaft below its blade before raising his legs for a drop kick as he use my own strength to leverage.
(Oh no!)
Left wide open as he push my spear aside, I quickly raise my free hand and,
*Smash* *Crack*
"Urgh!"
I was too late, an unfathomable of pain struck in while his feet sunk into my chest and flung me back. I found myself hard to breathe as it feels his kick has caved my ribcage in and pushing all the organs in my chest tightly. In pain it seems I have let my weapon go as he easily swing it around in one arm as well before throwing it away.
(He's definitely stronger and faster, it seems he's definitely above me in physical abilities).
"Cough! Cough! Huuup!"
I try to take in the air but it seems nothing is getting in.
(So even the people that sets this place up is going after my life? How corrupt can this place be?)
"Not so strong are you now? Vessel of Dark Gods?"
"I *Cough* have no idea what you're talking about."
Being able to breathe again, I see an attack coming and move to the side as,
*Slash*
My cloak got cut trying to dodge...
(Sturdy material indeed~ but maybe it's because his equipment is much stronger).
"I will not allow anyone to disturb this moment. I will make you suffer just like what you did to my master."
(Ah... Is it perhaps that golden wolf-kin? It's my fault for getting carried away with my attacks but...)
"She attacked first you know."
"I don't give a fuck!"
*Slash*
(So much for negotiation...)
He swings his claw from afar as I multiple huge energy slash fires fires at my direction. I slowly took a deep breathe as I know if I wish to do this, I can't leave it to my instinct forever.
(If I got found out having unique powers and all, so be it! It's better than being dead! I still have somewhere else I have to be!)
I gather all the power I can muster and summon forth my soul weapon.
[Immortal calamity dragon technique and silver tiger god technique combined, Armageddon path: apocalypse squall!]
I stand and counter back swinging my halberd swallowing the entire place in blinding purple light. Just like him, I took the initiative and attack as I jump and swing my halberd down and even with all the blinding light, he raise his arms in time and block my attack and as he strikes back with blinding speed I dodge back and gather my energy once again and swing it as I try to remember what's in store inside.
[Silver tiger god technique, Rebirth Path: Ending Tiger Strike]
With a single swing he appear right infront of me as he seems to unleash a technique of his own and swings for a wide kick. Our attack clashed as we're both pushed back and dash ahead at the same time as I swing my halberd at him. Attacking from the side with the versatile types of attack at the tip of my weapon, he easily closes in everytime but I dodge and parry back with my bare hands as it slowly chips away at my skin. Counter and attack and retaliation I did all return back with him gaining momentum and striking back each time.
Once again I was reminded by how immature my techniques are and how I've been winning by sheer luck seeing him deflect my blows as if he knows my every moves. As we keep exchanging blows, I haven't even land a single hit on him while I barely stops his attacks and is being pushed back... It's like fighting Sis Rubeca during my first time training but this time, I know he's going to kill me.
As his attack soon leaves cuts at my arm and ripping my cloak I was reminded of my time fighting Sis rubeca alongside May. With his long legs and overall height advantage, he can easily moves back to dodge my attack while countering back cutting my legs and chest, reminding of the battle I had against the living corpse of Sis Yuwei's mother. Seeing the weakness within me he hasten his attack and unleash a fury of blows and techniques as his claws slowly but surely pushes me back and leaves nicks and cuts all over me. The pain soon brings me back as I fought that rat-kin champion...
Losing the feeling of my legs, I fell to my knees while I can only use my Halberd as a support. As if I'm seeing mirrors from my memories, the silver wolf-kin raise his fist and soon...
*Cleave*
The whole world spins as I see my long blonde hair scatter everywhere. Everything, so dark and chaotic yet... So peaceful as I can't hear nothing nor can I feel it. My body strays further away as my vision blurs.
(Once again, I ended myself like this. With no one to speak to at the end, no one to help me and calm me down...)
In the last strength I blink yet it seems my eyes won't open... Something swells inside me, the feeling rages on as I realize...
(This may be the end but...)
Knowing that this may be the last chance I ever had, that maybe I WILL control all this power!
(I ain't going to die like this!)
When I open my eyes, my vision cracks as if I'm seeing from all six angles around me. Regaining the feeling of my body back, it screams of pain and overload as I grasp the bloodied and corrupted weapon that's a mix of flesh, steel, and bones with black cracks. And the most eye-catching thing is the ring I bought shining brightly purple at my left hand.
"I... Ain't going to let anybody take control of me! I'm going to win! By my own will! I'm going to make this mine! And I'll defeat you with this! Silver Wolf-kin!!!"
I know not what my body looks like but I can feel so much pain yet, so light, and so powerful! The same wolf-kin stand ahead of me silently watching as he then takes stance. With this unknown sensation I dash ahead and close the gap in but an instant, swinging my weapon down shouting:
"[Immortal calamity dragon technique and silver tiger god technique combined, Armageddon path: Endless Twilight!]"
Feeling as I'm pulling my brains out trying to recreate the technique I followed the instruction it gave me as I distribute my unknown power over my whole body. Feeling my own body being split apart in thousand pieces, I start with a single downward swing as dust starts to gather around but he easily parry with his own technique and easily counter back with a swipe that made me feel more pain and lose the weight of my shoulders.
Though in this bleak stance, I see an opening, I strike again but he parries again as dust swirls and gathers. So again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
The whole place swallowed by dust and purple light, the Silver Wolf-Kin soon starts to feel the burden as he backs off little by little and his weapon cracks and got chinks of it destroyed but not before countering each time as I lose feeling on bits and pieces from my fingers and other parts I can't name.
Not giving up, I use not only my weapon but my elongated crooked arms, striking along with my legs and everything I have as I rush and trash his defenses.
(This time, I will win, I will emerge victorious with memories of it! I will prove that I am someone worthy of inheriting my ancestors legacy!)
"Huh? What did I just thought?"
Yet even with such thoughts clouding my mind, I continue on seeing him now on the defensive. Other than the Stolen Arts, I activated my spells as huge magic circles appear around us. Seeing in all 6 direction, I continued my barrage as he too seem to realize he's in danger. My spells cast upon pillar of light that distract and damage him as his armour starts to crumble as well. All the techniques I can pull on my head all the spells I can unleash with my instincts.
(I will use it all!)
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
The entire room exploded in purple flash as the entire ceiling caved in and exploded again with my constant destruction spells.
My mind doesn't seem to be around as I felt my brain being ripped apart and my heart torn asunder. But he seems calm as he blocks my attack and maybe in frustration make multiple attacks as he destroyed my legs, parts of my head as I lose 3 of my vision and as I barely dodge the last attack seeing it barely miss my sides. Seeing the tiny opening, I took the chance since I know that I won't get a chance like this.
"Raaaagh!"
With one single swing using the hammer of my halberd, I finally manage to land a hit at his chest and yet breaking the arm holding the weapon in the process as I see it bend down and black cracks had taken over along with the accumulative damage he inflicted while countering each attack.
The remnants that is in this room starts to crumble to dust and crack while the Silver wolf-kin lands atop the giant puppet that has lost half of its body. With the ceiling gone, I soon realize the darkened skies, as if gutted from the deepest abyss, darkness has swallowed the stars and moons as nothing but pitch black remains above swallowing reality to eternal doom.
The only light source being the silver wolf-kin burning in golden flames and dazzling light. Realizing I can't hear nothing but my own breathing I take one last chance as I realize what I need to do to end this and give it my all and so does he as my attack seems to spread over his body, seeing his armour slowly sundering to dust.
Black cracks appear at all my 3 vision as I realize my body and weapon is crumbling like sand to an hourglass beside the black cracks that is spreading from where my heart is. Yet even so, I never felt being filled with so much courage and determination in my heart. My unknown muscle movements contract my last remaining arm as I feel all the power gathering around. Turning the whole area around me into a swirling mess of dust, darkness, and purple vortex.
Using my last limb, I point my halberd at him as he too seems to gather his energy for one last attack coating himself in a golden flames, glowing gold orbs and white energy flowing on his body. Our powers seeps across the whole open area and clash as if two opposing forces that never should come together. As everytime it touches it would retaliate, creating cracks in reality itself that distorts the entire view around us. Before I knew it, my body is engulf by a mysterious dark purple energy while the silver wolf-kin burns bright in golden light and bath with fire while his presence calls forth a pillar of light dispersing the darkened black skies.
As he leans down for a leap, I ready myself for a thrust. Readying my knees and with my gaze solely on him, I whisper to myself,
"[Ezurgent, Iztroann's Enganre, Dosinisus!]
Multiple large magic circle appear before me like everytime I said the technique. Attacking at the same time, our swirling power collides as black cracks appear around the area distorting reality itself. Soon, our attacks finally met. His golden claws clash against my halberd. Darkness and light engulf each other with unrelenting force.
*Crack* *Crack* *Shatter!*
Our weapon shatter after prolonged impact but not before I use what remains of my halberd, now a shiv made of bone. Continuing to drill ahead towards my goal, I manage to penetrate where his heart is while his claws went past and cut open my right thigh, side, and remaining arm. Losing all my limbs, I see the ring at the detached arm gets covered in black cracks and shattering. I now realize that ring may have helped me win this battle...
By this point, I feel nothing but happy to hear my heart still beats. Seeing the silver Wolf-Kin's body slowly disintegrate to dust as he seems to be smiling. I smile as well, realizing...
(This is the second time I won against someone stronger than me... Heh, maybe one day, with Sis Rubeca too).
"Cough! Cough! Ahack!"
*Splat* *Shatter*
Seeing the light penetrating the darkness at sky blacker than ink, I fell on my back, with almost no source of light I can't even tell if I'm closing my eyes. But I can still hear something break. Slowly I feel my consciousness fade as the darkness above slowly disperse and the moon comes accompanied by stars. Even without closing my eyes, darkness closes my sight like a curtain.
"Goodnight."
I mutter as softly as I rest...
