Butterflies are really worthy of the praises. We delight in the beauty it portrays and the hardships it gone through in order to achieve that kind of beauty. Just a sight of their beauty can lifts our burden soul. Just how a small crawling worm that is look down by people, thoughts that maybe its life will soon be over, will spread its wings and starts to fly.
A beautiful thing that crawled it way to the top will make you hesitate to kill it. I mean, this kind of beauty will make you unable to kill it, it looks harmless and gentle. Or so you thought...
The butterflies that landed on her body started to bite her. Because of the massive amount of butterflies that landed on her, not a bit of skin is exposed. The image that you can only see is a statue of a woman that is covered with a fluttering wings of butterflies.
This butterflies may look small and harmless but in the closer look, this butterflies develop a special opening in the mouth, containing a very small teeth. But small as it looks, those teeth are very sharp, enough to dig a hole in a hardest metal.
Seeing this, Ania cannot help but to sweat. She has just passed that terrifying vines and now she's experiencing this kind of torture. Just how many times must she has to endure?
But what relieved her the most was that they are so small that each one of them didn't give her that much damage, or at least for now. With their number increasing, she will end up being eaten by this pest. Now it gave her a reason to hate this kind of beauty.
The amount of butterflies are increasing, same with her wounds in the body.
She did everything she could think of. She tried swatting it away so hard that it caused her skin to turned red. But as the others saw the spaces, they will immediately fly towards it, leaving no spaces. She even went into the idea of burning herself but immediately canceled that idea when she saw no fire around the area. Create one? Luckily she doesn't have an idea of making it.
But if you think that Ania stopped there, then you are wrong. She also thought of biting each one of it in desperate matter. But it doesn't even taste good. It leaves a bitter aftertaste and worst as the time goes on. Not only that, the blood of it is as strong as an acid. Really dangerous...
But this butterflies are keep on increasing no matter the effort she exert. It is like it cannot die...
Ania can feel her energy is depleting. Is this the end? All of her effort and pain in entering this maze will end here. Her eyes become heavier as the time goes by until her vision darkened. Ahh, dying is not that bad. She met a lot of wonderful people, killed a lot of demons, and met new friends.
How are Marcus, Cleo and Nana now? Did they reach that place? Are they safe now? They probably are. She remembered the necklace she has given to Nana. As long as Nana has that, Nana's life will not be in danger.
She nodded. She gave a long sigh as she waited for her end. One minute past, ten , fifteen.
She suddenly opened her eyes. Oh right, she can never die. How stupid can she get? If she won't do anything about this butterflies, this pain will forever inflicted in her.
Ania cannot help but to slap herself, smashing the butterflies in her cheek. Stupid!
She looked at her skin just to see it wrinkled and dry. Yeah she won't die but it will give her a skin of an old lady!
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Phew, relax Ania and think."
She closed her eyes and repels all the emotions in her body. The moment she opened her eyes, it was sharper than before. The gaze of hers can deeply penetrate into anything. It is time to get serious.
This path ahead of her is already a dead end. And she cannot go back for the path was long ago been blocked.
She looked at the butterflies. This insects are not gentle at all, they are carnivorous. But no matter how carnivorous it is, it is still a butterfly with a weakness.
This place is useless for her. It's all about beauty with nothing except for trees and flowers. Her gaze roam around the surrounding until she spotted something. Water... that's it! Water!
"Hahaha!" Ania cannot help it and laughed even louder. "I sympathize you for your beauty at first, but now I can only see you as an insect, a pest! You will regret making me your enemy, small pest."
She took a deep breath and swung her body, hoping that butterflies will move away from her. She even stamped her feet in the ground just to shake the insect. But no matter how she does, the butterflies are sticking to her and won't get off.
With no tolerance remaining, the long legs finally made a move. She walked straight to the crystal clear pond. She quietly stepped with only a few inches away from the pond. She took a deep breath and twisted her body and with a splash, the steady water was disturbed and created a big waves.
The butterflies around her let go as it seeks the air in the surface. Butterflies are really bad in water.
Not long after, Ania went into the surface to get air. She saw the wet butterflies crawling towards the ground. Heh. Just seeing this made Ania irritated. Want to hurt me?
She swims towards the nearest butterfly and thought of a very good plan for revenge. She slowly plucked the wings of the butterflies, making sure that they can feel it. This butterflies possess an eternal life but not their wings. Now they cannot do anything but to crawl forever.
"Holy sh*t!" The figure immediately closed her lips. Natu, the girl whose skin is green, looked at Ania from afar. This woman is so cruel! Not killing it but tearing its wings. Natu wanted to puke blood at the sight of it.
While Ania only laugh again. She just finished plucking all the wings of the butterflies. Revenge is done.
Just as she was about to go out of the water, the water shook creating a small waves. Then a strong vibration was felt by her under the water...
What now?
