-Are you serious?
She just sighed and nodded. Because she knew that he didn't believe it, but because he didn't want to believe it.
He paced the room, this was his usual habit whenever he was worried. But despite being "headache" on this issue, but he was still awake enough, keeping pace with steps not too fast and big enough to wake up the little girl had just been sleeping thanks to Milim lull the other sleep.
-Out of rumors about the eyes that can drain the life force, now come into the dream, so what's next?
He stopped and stared at the Excalibur, the wistful expression that made her have a bad feeling.
-Brother...
-Is not!
-But you haven't said anything yet.
-Because you know!
Yes, she knew him so well to know what he was thinking. He was always like this, always fighting for everyone, and once he made up his mind, no one or anything could stop him.
-Sorry, but maybe this is also a good opportunity for you to end this entire war.
-What if I am wrong? What if he can't beat him?
She had never suspected him in battles, but this time it was different, this was not merely a battle against a demon or a black magician alone, but this was a demon lord, a difficult "destination". humanity's worst, not to mention that he's not alone.
-This is the only way.
Finishing his words, he slowly walked over to the large iron stand and pulled out the sword. The gem seemed to react as soon as his hand touched the hilt, the pure white light gradually emitting, illuminating the entire messy and dusty office. This was the second rare time she saw it react so violently, perhaps because it had the same optical system magic as him.
-I'm leaving.
He gently sheathed his sword and put on the old armor made of Gro, the third hardest alloy in the world. All over his armor were slashes and scratches as if to mark the fierce battles he had experienced.
-Or do we wake everyone up and fight together?
-Not good, they need a rest to prepare for the operation to the North tomorrow morning. And if you kill him right now, surely you and the people will be energized and won, bringing peace to us.
- "You and everyone"? What do you mean?
-...
Although not showing on his face, his hands were trembling, this was the first time she saw him so worried.
Her heart now felt like there was a rock on top of it, even if it was a lie, but she didn't want to understand the meaning of his words. She did not want to understand that he had decided to take the risk that the battle brought.
Death.
One of the obvious things, which "will come" in this world, but still she didn't want to admit it that easily, not in this way. She did not want him to go, she did not want him to be a bearer of the mission of all humanity. She just wanted him to be a normal person, a husband, a father, and she and Hei to live peacefully in a remote place.
But it couldn't be, no matter what, it was a dream, and she needed to accept the truth right before her eyes.
-So at least let me go with you.
It was the least she could do, she thought and wished he would agree.
-I'm sorry, but that is not possible.
-Why?
-I'm not in danger, so go back to sleep and wait for the good news from me.
-Is not! He would definitely go with him, whether he wanted it or not.
-So ... I'm sorry.
His face was filled with sadness, as if he wanted to say goodbye but couldn't. And just then, he used a magic to push her back.
-Bam!
-Green!
He slammed the door shut and immediately locked it to stop her.
-Let me out! Let me go!
-I'm sorry, but I did it because I wanted to be good for you.
-Please...
Instantaneous steps away from him gradually, despite her tears falling here.
Is not! I promised myself that I will never be weak. Quickly get up!
She used her hands to slap her cheeks like a wake-up call to herself. Taking a deep breath, she wiped all her tears away and grabbed the bag of magic stones. Because of the strange fever in her childhood, she could not cast magic, but she was not sad because of that, on the contrary, it was very grateful, because if not for it, she might not have been human now. , and could not discover a great use of the pile of magic stones that exist in caves.
Holding tightly to the fire magic stone, she slowly chanted an ancient spell she had found in the cave long ago.
-Ra'i Elem'an Ra'i Elem ...
-Green!
She was bewildered by the sudden door opening, which was also gentle because she didn't have to blow it up.
-Come on, why so surprised? Did the queen forget about this loyal servant?
-Milim!
Although she was delighted to see her best friend, she had no time to waste.
-He quickly went to get everyone up, told them to prepare weapons and direction and towards the mountain to the West.
-And you?
-I will chase him.
-He? But Ezio took the horse.
-Hehe! Are you suspicious of this former explorer?
She tore at one side of her skirt to make it easier to move and hurriedly ran towards the forest far away. Despite the pain of the falls or dozens of thorns of the bushes, she rushed forward in the hope of being able to make it.
Although she was very tired, the sight made her hold her breath. In front of her now was the decisive battle of all humanity. One represents light, her husband, the greatest warrior of humanity, Ezio and the other represents darkness, the one who brings destruction and chaos, Maou.
The weight, or rather, the amount of magic radiating from the battle of both prevented her and all the monsters and black magicians from getting close.
-Bam!
An explosive sound broke his armor and sent him flying away. And the Excalibur, which was supposed to help him defeat the demon king, flew towards her.
-Is this all you have, the strongest warrior? You can only beat us once.
-...
-You should be happy, because I did not kill you immediately but let you enjoy the pain of becoming the reason your slum is burned to ashes.
-Stop!
She put all her strength into holding the sword with just her right hand while her left hand gripped the magic stones tightly.
-Hum? It's the one I've just used "My Dream". Interesting, but what can you do with those weak arms?
-Will see!
She continuously chanted spells and released a series of spells that attacked him, but all were nothing compared to the other armor. Showing a weird smile, he slowly approached her and stopped only when the last magic stone froze where he stood.
-Well! Trivial things in the way.
-Right now, let's run.
Ignoring her words, he grabbed him from behind and used all his strength to hold him back.
-Maya! Finish him off!
-What are you doing !?
-Do it! Now or never!
-But...
-Do it!
The time with her seemed to slow down. She looked into his eyes, eyes filled with determination and faith in her. She always believed in him, ever before, not because he was the strongest, but because he was the person she loved the most.
- Good-bye, darling.
The sharp blade pierced the cracks in the armor and pierced through both the hero and the demon king. A white explosion caused her to be thrown away and quickly fainted shortly thereafter.
It took her four days to wake up, and everyone, half happy and half sad, told her what had happened.
They said that, thanks to the explosion, they knew where she and he were. But when it arrived, it was too late, both he and the demon king had disappeared, and the dark army of soldiers fled in panic and disappeared behind the mountain. But what made anyone curious was that even in the middle of the explosion center, she had only been slightly scratched with some minor burns on her hands, maybe before he died, he used the remaining magic power to create a shield. Definitely protect her.
Day after day, month after month, year after year, finally this seemingly endless battle has ended. A series of celebrations were held and everyone was happy that they were finally able to build beautiful houses instead of as temporary as before and live in peace.
She, too, after years of making armor and weapons, she was able to say goodbye to this rusty desk.
- Goodbye, old friend.
Suddenly "it" flashed again causing her goosebumps. Removing the dust-stained old cloth, she pulled out the precious Excalibur and began to look at it. Only then did she realize that the jewel of the sword was no longer pure white, but rather half black and half white, as if it symbolized light and darkness.
The more she looked at the jewel, the more she felt strange, as if it was trying to tell her something.
-I will come back, and you will regret not breaking that damn weapon!
For just a moment, that scene appeared before her eyes. But this time she could hear every single word in his words, the demon king's words before she died. By the time she recovered, the gem had stopped glowing ever since.
-So mom will leave me?
-Don't worry, honey, when I'm done, I'll come back.
-Mom promise?
-Well, I promise.
She hugged her little daughter and kissed her on the forehead.
I will smell this very much.
-Ne Milim, take good care of her.
-Of course! Do you doubt me?
-Haha! So bye both of you.
-Goodbye!
Part excited about the freedom to adventure again, part sad to leave girls. She scurried everywhere to find the right place to hide the sword, just in case it didn't fall into the wrong hands. Along the way, she meets a strange old man who sometimes speaks strange words, claiming to be the prophet who told her about "The Choosen One", who will defeat the demon king in the future.
-And that's why I wrote in this diary, to pass on the people of the Hyunaga family, the family that I founded under the demon hunters so that, when the time comes, they will tell Everyone knows the truth about the battle on that fateful night. And show the way to "The Choosen One", if that person really exists to Excalibur.
All the people standing in the hall were dumbfounded about that "truth", except that old man, perhaps he had read it a long time ago.
-Now everyone knows ...
He slowly pulled out a rotten old paper from the oversized sleeve, I wondered what else it could hold.
-... and here is a detailed drawing of the Motadus cave, gather your elite troops and lead this kid to the holy sword.
My body froze at that moment, the moment he pointed his finger at me.
-Heh !?
