Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 The Story - Part 1

Lukileon narrates a story and Cue listened attentively.

There's once a man named Lagim and a woman named Hikari they are a complete opposite of each other.

Lagim is a man of darkness and chaos. He loves to have a blood bath wherever he goes. He lived for a thousand of years and he cares for nothing but how he could spread out more terror everywhere. He doesn't have a heart that's what he thinks since he never considered the existence of the opposite gender.

He already destroyed more than half of the world and turned it into darkness. Gods and Goddesses have tried to kill him but whatever they do, it didn't work. Even the God of death can't take Lagim's life, he tried many times but it seems that Lagim is already close to being a God himself that he becomes immortal.

They can't find his weakness and also because all the Gods and Goddesses are prideful they didn't work together and make their move separately on Lagim.

They didn't even know Lagim's existence, luckily they were bored and strolled over every world that's when they found out that one world is close to it's destruction.

They made a pawn to their plan it was a person named Hikari. Hikari is a calm woman, she's also very kind and never in her life did she commit something unforgivable. She is very susceptible to temptations.

Hikari being impressionable, it is a flaw that the Gods and Goddesses didn't know of.

The very first God to use Hikari is the God called Yue Lao. With Yue Lao he, binds the life of the two... Lagim and Hikari. Good thing is that he is successful in doing this since Lagim is an unknown existence.

Then two fates are connected. That's when Lagim met the wild Hikari. Hikari happened to meet an unforeseen event and the darkness within her surfaced. It happened because of the intervention of another Goddess.

It is said that brightest you are, the darkness you have is doubled. Lagim didn't fall in love at first sight but he was very interested for the first time. He kept on observing Hikari but nothing happened till the woman perished cause of exhausting her life force.

Lagim this time is busy fighting some warriors.

The commander of these warriors is not the strongest but he is very knowledgeable and cunning. Because of his strategies the warriors manage to buy some more time for their world's destruction.

Hikari is reborn this time and she is named Lumiere or Lumi, means light in French. She is one of the warriors she looks exactly the same as in her first life but in this lifetime she possess a strong personality and she is very disciplined.

In the battlefield, Lagim noticed her but she doesn't. Also she holds two swords and she ran to Lagim and attacks him. All her attacks we're blocked by Lagim till she was pierced by an arrow from one of Lagim's men, she still didn't stop attacking.

There is no hatred in her eyes and it is very clear. Lagim is lost in those eyes as he wondered what has driven her to be in that battlefield if there is no hatred. Lost in his thoughts he didn't see that one of his men rushed to them and killed Lumiere. When he saw this he also stab the guy then cut his head.

He already saw two person with the same face and died in front of him so he was a little confused of how it happened or is there any connection.

For many years of fighting with the last warriors he finally conquered them when he killed the commander. He didn't conquer to rule he did it to wipe out all that lives in that world. But seeing all that is left is an island that is two thirds big as the mainland and separated by a Black Sea full of monsters he decided to stop but he only let few people he knows to live on that island.

He doesn't care of what will happen to the lives who where still struggling to survive in the mainland.

Everything is destroyed in the mainland but some were lucky to survive the terror since they were hidden well. Especially the wealthy individuals since then they build the world where wealth is power. Lagim never appears again that they forgot about him.

Lagim on the other hand gets bored on his onslaughts that's why after he conquered the last warriors he stops and stayed at the island and left the leadership to his right hand man named Milo.

Milo is a dependable man and he is the right person to do the job.

Lagim leisurely spend his daily life walking on the shore. That's when he saw the woman again. This time Hikari is reborn and named Joie, in French means happiness.

Joie lives as a happy person just like what her name means.

Seeing the same face for the third time Lagim approach Joie. The woman welcomes the man's company. But it is strange because there is no familiarity in Joie's eyes. It looked like only Lagim is familiar with her since that face isn't common, but two generations have past and it is the only time that he saw that same face again.

Without thinking anything Lagim made her his very first friend, but their friendship didn't last long Joie died the next day cause she tripped and and her head hit a sharp rock.

When Lagim found out what happened he thinks that maybe their meeting will warrant the woman's death. He was sad at first but since they didn't have a long relationship it didn't make him lonely and he just continue to live his life. Death isn't in his vocabulary but he will watch what will happen next time if they cross paths again with that same face.

After three generations Hikari was reborn as a servant in the Black mansion and named Luz means light in Spanish. Since she grow in the mansion Lagim saw how she matures. They meet but there's no interactions between the two. Lagim watched from afar, there he finally got the idea what is the meaning of life.

From a tiny little thing, a little baby, to a toddler, to a child and then a teen he saw how beautiful this process is. He doesn't remember if he ever gone through this process too.

Noticing that their meeting doesn't lead to the girl's death Lagim befriend Luz, cause not only he becomes interested but he found the girl amusing. Her face is full of different emotions and her eyes are clear and honest. Even born as a servant her eyes are the same, no familiarity... and clear. It seems that a person doesn't remember anything of her past.
