The Mother Bear sniffed the piled up Boulders. It seems that it didn't sensed the Monster Bear's life anymore. It might be dead.
The Mother bear looked at Raliz and nodded.
Raliz celebrated and jumped around like a kid who was given the thing that it always wanted.
She sat down while panting. It really tired her out. Raliz was still wondering how could such monster exist and how could the Mother Bear talk.
Is it the work of Magic? Raliz thought while looking at The Mother Bear.
Do Grandpa knew about this?
Raliz was holding her head. She felt dizzy after the fight. She looked at the clear sky.
"Finally! It's do-" Before she finished her sentence the pile of Boulders rumbled.
A laser came out and cut the Mother Bear in half.
The Mother Bear didn't even have the time to make a sound. A large, gray Bear came out of the piled boulders and aggressively munch on the dead body.
Raliz's heart stopped.
She didn't expect that to happen.
Her body froze. She couldn't move. She felt fear, anger and any other negative emotions.
"How? Why? Move your body! Help it! Coward!" Raliz told herself.
"I can do it. I can help it." Raliz tried to step forward but the Monster Bear looked at her in a wicked way while munching on the deceased.
Raliz foot stopped in the mid-air.
"I can't... I'm sorry... I'm a coward..."Raliz cried. Tears came falling down along the cold sweat.
Growl!
A soft growl came from a distance. It sounds so sad like a Cub seeing her mother dying.
Cub?
Raliz turned around and saw the little cub on the distance.
The Monster Bear turned to look at the Cub and a sinister smile appeared on its face.
It stopped eating the body and rushed to the Cub.
"Run!" Raliz shouted immediately.
But the Cub didn't understand the danger it was taking to and continued to walk towards its dead Mother's body.
Raliz burst into tears feared that the little cub will die.
She ran as fast as she could to reached the Cub but her energy was depleted in the last fight and the Monster Bear reached it first.
Its mouth was dripping with blood and saliva. Its eyes were bloodshot. It was ready to devour the Cub.
Raliz's heart skipped a beat and grabbed her knife rapidly and climbed atop of the Monster Bear.
She stabbed the bear's left eye continuously.
"Now Go!" She screamed with all her might as she still stabbing the Bear's eye.
The Cub somehow understood and ran away.
Raliz almost fell from her grip but she instantly grabbed one of the Bear's horns.
Raliz's knife was dyed with red blood and the its tip was slightly dent. Maybe because of the continuous stabbing. The Bear's hide was thick and hard as a metal wall after all.
The Bear could only shake Raliz off its head. It tried to cut Raliz off with its claws but Raliz was like a lice on the head that could evade its claws easily. It also made itself hurt its own head.
Raliz couldn't bear the strain in her arms and let go.
She stumbled on the ground. The Bear stepped on her. Like a devil it smiled and looked at the Cub.
The Cub wailed when it saw Raliz. But then-
Pew.
Splash.
A laser came out and hit the Cub's belly. Blood flows out rapidly. The Cub was lying on the ground and didn't move or make a sound.
Raliz saw with its own two eyes.
She fisted and punch the ground.
'T-the Cub... Died... I failed the Bear... I failed the training... I failed them both... I'm a failure... I'm useless... I'm going to die... Maybe this is it... I think that's alright... I failed anyway...' Raliz thought sadly.
She had learned and improved in these times of her training but one thing that didn't improved other than her height, was her emotions.
She can't control it that much like it comes naturally to her.
She sobbed while her face was on the ground..
For the first time in her life, she said a word that she would never ever say to anyone.
"Help..."
Raliz is a petit but strong Girl. She is competent and like challenges. She is kind but sometimes rightful enough to stand up for herself and for others.
She don't like things that way overboard, she only likes balance.
Everything about her is what makes her Raliz and that includes her emotional problems.
She don't want help from others because she believes that she can do it herself. Although, she can share her work to others in class but if its personal, she keep it herself.
She doesn't show it and everytime she's alone, she let it all out. She cried, she shouts and she laugh it all out. That includes when she is hurt, when she is in pain.
She doesn't want others to pity her or want to be seen hopeless. She isn't prideful or boast, she just don't want help from others. Raliz wants to deal this things to herself. She wouldn't even tell her family what she really feels.
Because she wants to show others that she is happy so that everyone around her will be happy too.
And now this time, that her life is in danger, she helplessly called for help.
A tingling sensation vibrated in Raliz's body. The area fell into deathly silence. Even the Bear went silent.
The ravaging burning of the trees went silent.
The Bear's instinct tells it that danger is coming. The Bear looked around.
Something shining from a distance that caught its attention. A shining green leaf was heading to its direction. It was so fast like an arrow that was fired from a bow.
The Bear easily dodged it. The leaf past by the Bear's body. The Bear sneered. It opened its mouth and tried to eat Raliz.
A shining green leaf came flying to the Bear and this time the Bear got hit but it didn't even dealt any damage to the Monster Bear's body
The leaf fell and lied on the ground.
But another one came and struck the bear but just like the other one, it didn't hurt the bear and just fell on the ground gently.
A whistling sound flew by.
The Bear was confused.
What was that?
Something green flew past by the Bear's sight, because it was so fast, it became a green line. The Bear turned its head to where that Green line flew from.
When it turned behind, what it saw almost get it to scream.
There were lots of giant Green vines and thousands of Shining green leaves.
The Trees were also shining with different colors.
The two leaves on the ground flew to Raliz and went through her skin? Went through?!
Raliz woke up and saw the things that is happening.
A huge vine smacked the Bear's away. The Vine wrapped around Raliz's waist and Green light was shining in her body and she was getting better and better.
A smaller vine went to the Cub and grabbed it too. The hole in the body of the Cub suddenly regenerated. Raliz's consciousness were vague.
Raliz could not think too deeply and ask questions to herself, her mind was dark and empty like a deep abyss.
But something is burning. Its making her angry and memories from earlier started to appear.
Raliz cried.
"Now... Feel my wrath!"
Vines like Giant snakes wrapped around the Monster Bear's body.
"Death is too kind for the sins you did to me and to the living things you've killed. You should be tortured." Raliz stated her opinion cruelly.
Thorns appeared on the vines, making the bear howl in pain. Blood dripped out but still the Bear is howling.
The thorns were secreting some substances into the Bear's body. And then, the Vines with large thorns let the Bear's body fall on the ground.
The Bear started to writher in pain. Bubbles and blood were coming out from its orifices.
It was brutal and nasty.
A portion of Raliz's back was covered with darkness, negativity were eating Raliz whole.
And then, that Darkness suddenly dissipated into nothing.
The Bear stopped and died.
Raliz went back to normal. The Cub had a faint breathing now.
Raliz grabbed the Cub and the Vines carried her out of the mountain like just how she was carried when she got lost in the forest when she was little.
Outside the forest, a man in white suit stood up.
His smile was wide. Joy filled him.
The shining trees stepped away and revealed Raliz holding a Cub.
"Congratulation, Raliz. You passed. You killed it." Grandpa Rex smiled like he knew it all along. Like it went well as planned.
Raliz looked at his Grandpa with discomfort.
"Why did you do this?" Raliz was confused. She couldn't think well enough. That's the only question that her head came up.
"To prepare you for what comes next." Her Grandpa said mysteriously.
A suppressive aura suddenly appeared. Raliz coughed up and knelt down while still holding the fainted Cub.
The suppressive aura comes from her Grandpa.
