As our forces continued to be ragdolled around. I manage to get back on my feet and adjust my Brigand armour. Three of those green loincloth guys surround me and take out schimtars. These curved swords with black hilts eerily emitting black smoke from them.
I take my stance and go for my own sword but I soon realise it was knocked out my hand and lodged inside a nearby building. Clest and Ember get the other Brigand members on their feet and charge a frontal and aerial assault on our enemies. They succeed and are instantly attacked by some more loinclothed goons. "Surrender to the Watchful Empress mortal. You have no where to go it'd be best to know when you have no other choice."Says one of the goons. I managed to jump high enough in the air to avoid getting stabbed.
Unfortunately. Something sends me hurtling into the ground. My impact makes a large hole into the dirt. I come to very quickly and climb my way out the hole to see everyone still fighting as hard as ever. I do feel uneasy though. The loinclothed guys are defeated finally but everyone just stops and the sky itself becomes gray. Its starts pouring rain and boom!! Im knocked to my ass and see a dark red blur rush towards me and pummels me endlessly into the ground.
Turns out its Magnolia. The other Brigands try coming to my aid but are easily swiped aside like flies. I feel her powerful hands grab me by my neck and punch me into my gut. I slowly looked down see glowing yellow eyes and her hair slowly glows along with her. She gradually squeezes my neck a little harder. I start to squirm and kick her in the face. I back flip into a fighting stance and ready myself for another assault from the muscular woman.
"Lunaa!! Ya gotta be careful!! Magnolia is very tricky. Don't worry about us right now. Take her down!!!" Says Ember yelling while she and an few Brigand members are fighting more minons from Magnolia. I wipe the spit from my lip and take a deep breath. Without warning Magnolia charges towards me knocking me off my feet again and punching me in the gut.
She grabs my legs and throws me into a nearby mountain while shooting magic fire at me. I block and jump away from the falling debris. "Gaaahhh!! YOU WILL SUFFER YOU LITTLE BITCH!!! YOU KILLED MY MEN AND MY MINIONS!! Now you'll suffer!" She angrily prepares a massive attack in the form of a eagle. She moves so fast the world is nothing but a blur. In a instant I couldn't see her but feel the connection. My body is now covered in smudges and burns and visible smoke flows from my forearms.
"Amazing!! I might have to really be careful. Another hit from what ever that was may kill me. I need to hide. She's bonkers!!" I say as I am jumping down one ledge to another. Magnolia launches rocks encased in lightning at me. I dodged them nearly losing my footing on the mountainside. Luckily I slide into a little crevasse and take a few hard breaths. "I...i gotta..huff.. make sure she's distracted..At this rate..huff...she'll murder my friends. I won't let that happen. I can't." I say catching my breath. Just then Magnolia slowly walks around the crevasse im in she stomps and growls a little.
Almost like a angry dog. "Your supposed to be the Saviour huh? Well how funny would it be if the Brigands knew you were the daughter of the one who must kill. Lord Unknown or Zuma as you gods know him. But that's why I'm not here. The gods don't care for me and Dalistad. They definitely don't care about you if they sent YOU of all people to me. You see Nea was the one who foresaw your birth and knew you would silence Fafir. But in all of that. SHE ABANDONED US!! After all the prayers we sent to her and the humiliation we endured.
Dalistad was once a paradise now a barren wasteland. What makes YOU think you'll bring one land of filth back into glory huh?" She angrily says stomping the ground causing a few rocks to nearly squish me. She continues her monologue and throws yet another lightning rock at the mountain. "Your gonna die this day kid. It'd be a good message to sent to the gods. Hehe don't you think. Your head and your blood wrapped in tattered clothes sent directly to that coward Nea." She says in a evil way.
As soon as I manage to get out from under the heavy rocks. Magnolia bursts through the crevasse and grabs me by my hair and tosses me to the ground. I scream a little in pain. I fail to defend myself from the constant punishment from Magnolia. She spins me around by my hair and throws me into another mountain. Dazed and feeling numb in certain parts of my head almost as if my hair was ripped out when Magnolia threw me.
I touch my lip and see blood on my fingertips. I struggle to get up and fall to my knee. Hoping to get away from this crazy monster. I limp back to the Brigand base. everyone else is laying on the ground gravely injured. I see Ember and Clest, I smiled at them. Mei and Winlow catch me before I pass out. Kay has my sword and gives it to Ember to hold. When I wake up from my little nap Magnolia has Clest by her neck and a sword in hand. She noticed im awake and smiles devilishly at me.
"Well well well. If it isn't my punching bag hehe. You were a disappointing fight if ya wanna call it that. As a punishment for wasting my time. I will kill your friend here. Or is she just a puppet you use to get to KNOW the world. That is what you told me isn't it?" She smiles. While Clest looks at me confused. "W...were just a puppet to you? You wanted to use us huh? I don't believe you." Clest says disappointed and sadly. She lowers her head for a minute and sees Magnolia lunged her sword arm backward and thrusts toward Clest. In a flash her arm is stopped. The sword is flying in the air and stabs the ground. When all of us realized whats happening. My own hand stopped Magnolia from killing Clest.
Ignoring how I did this. Everything around me goes dark. My eyes feel like ice. I kick Magnolia with all my strength hearing a loud crack and a horrifying cry. Once I come to from whatever that was. Everyone looks at me in shock. I see Magnolia's leg is broken, her arm has the bone fully exposed along with it bended in a unnatural way. I walk towards Magnolia who frantically scrambles across the ground. Angry. I grab my sword and hold it high into the air looking and staring longingly into her eyes.
Before I got the chance to finish her off. A icy grip graps my wrist. I turn to see Papa. His very aura was intimidating yet so calm. As black as Space itself. All of Magnolia's remaining minions were carried into a purple hole, giant skinny hands grabbed them. Their screams terrified me and everyone else. My dad closes it with one glare then looks at Magnolia with the most intense glare I ever seen. If looks could kill. The woman would be dead." Luna. Do not repeat what your predecessors have done before you. I am not exempt as God of Death. THIS is my job. You were created by Nea and gifted to me and your mother for a reason. Let Papa take her to the depths of Hexus.
She will be judged and then tormented for all eternity. However it is your choice. She injured your friends and could have possibly killed some. I advise you look past it." He tells me in his serious voice. As angry as I may be. I put the sword down and punch her so hard her face caves in from the skull cracking and blood oozing out of her eye sockets and nose. I lift my hand up shakingly. I giggle to myself and hear a voice say. Well done. You're testing your new power. I slowly turn to my friends who are in awe and some are deathly afraid.
Pale in their face and some run as fast as they can. My father was very disappointed with me. His aura bursted and shook the very ground. Angry he grabbed the dead body from my hands and opened a portal saying nothing. Once he floated into the portal I could of sworn I saw a black tear come from his eye before he turned Magnolia's mortal body into a soul. When he finally left. I noticed Clest,Ember and the other Brigands bowing they all looked pale in the face when they lifted their heads. Curious. I asked Ember what was up. She said nothing except. Look in a mirror. I found this strange. As soon as everyone was nursing their wounds and healing up I went to the sleeping quarters and look into a mirror.
Surprised. I noticed my face was covered in blood still. But my skin was paler than usual. My hair was glowing white and my eyes were a faint orange color. I even tried smiling and notice my teeth were sharp and I was slightly taller. After a few deep breaths I look in the mirror again. My hair was its usual black color but I saw a girl in the mirror with me. She was a beautiful sapphire blue from head to toe. Her eyes as golden as the Sun of the Milky Way Galaxy. She said nothing and only smiled. Confused by this. I went to sleep and saw the same girl again. She looked sad. I also dreamt everything beside the sky was in black and white. I saw my self punch Magnolia.
Blood poured and streamed onto the ground. When I looked in the reflection of the blood. I saw a horrific version of my self. Two large horns protruding from my head. My hair was long and red. My teeth sharp and my eyes were black matching my dark grey skin. What really creeped me out was this version of myself rose from Magnolia's blood-like river stream and turned her head 180 degrees vertically. She spoke in a unknown language. After meeting this abomination Fafir himself showed up happy as ever.
He folded his arms and snapped his fingers. The weird girl attacked me waking me up. I sat in my bed still in the sleeping quarters. I got up to use the bathroom. When I finished I heard a thumping sound I got curious and followed it until I came upon a figure. It then hit me THAT very demented girl I saw was standing there wearing a orange mask and had no horns. She turn towards me and walked ever so slowly. Afraid I grabbed the nearest weapon. There wasn't one. I put my hands up and braced for a attack. The girl moved quickly. She was behind me and sniffed my clothes,hair and limbs. After this she removed her mask and looked at me with her shiny black eyes. Her irises yellow like a lemon.
"Luuuu...na? You...Luna right?"Said the somewhat smaller girl. She was about Nea's height, four feet tall and wearing a torn black dress with a brown cloak. I wonder what she was doing here I decided to answer her question. "Yeah..Im Luna..Uh..this might be weird but. You were in my dream. Who are you. Where did ya come from?" I asked. The girl giggled and floated she hugs me and smiles.
