On a sunny day, the atmosphere was different, the wind blows in a sad way, it felt as if nature was in mourning of the day to come, nature seems sad and that's how the worst day of her life was about to begin.
-----------------
All Caera could remembered was that she was running endlessly while the sol of her feet went numb from pain, all she could felt was the wind blowing against her face, the smell of blood that was so thick she could barely breath, she could hear the screams from a distance but it felt like her body couldn't stop and her feet did not allow her to stop, all she could think about was
god why am I running, I need to go back and help them, I can't let them be in pain anymore
Caera felt death itself was running alongside her instead of being scared all she could mutter was,
I wish I could go back; I should've listened to them.
The image of Caera's parent float abundantly through her head, she had the bitterness of regret, Caera thought that she was the worst daughter to them but regardless they always respect her wishes, gave her anything she wanted and let her do whatever she wanted, as she was cherished since birth.
If only I didn't meet him, if only I didn't fall in love with him, this tragedy would've never come upon them.
How could I have been so stupid to not see what they were planning, if only I had opened my eyes sooner.
And there it was in front of her eyes a cliff, it was closer than she thought, but she couldn't stop in time, she missed her footing and fell of the cliff, as she was falling she had this sense of freedom and this familiarity feeling, at the blink of an eyes she reached the bottom of the cliff, as she lie there waiting for her death.
Caera gently turns her head around, she notices the beautiful scenery, the moon shining brightly upon her, she looked ahead, eyes widened, a dropped of tear in the corner of her left eye was dripping down her face like diamond in a mine.
Ahead of her the fief resembles a phoenix soaring in the sky, the screams sounded like worship towards the heavens, Caera knew her life was coming to an end as she utters
"Hell Flowers",
"hell flowers, 'red magic lilies'" different names for it
I've never seen those flowers before,
"wait how do I know those flowers and whose memories are those? who is Arusha Asallinias? wait why do I feel sad?"
Ha right, this was my second life and I wasted it how stupid
*****************************
I was twenty-two I graduated college at twenty, I was named a genius among geniuses, I was happy regardless of the fact that I was an orphan, I liked studying and I was good at it. I started working as a biochemist, it was always fun for me, I remember the fun in studying philosophy being obsess with knowledge, psychology, theology, I remember being happy about my research being nominated as the top one in the whole country I was happy so I went out to buy cake I was excited looking at those positive reviews about me online that I forgot where I was, when I came to I was already in the middle of the road I didn't have time to react,
the car had already hit me I was lying in the middle of the street the first thing that came to mind was how good I was in martial art as a kid, I remember master telling me that I was blessed by God every time I win a tournament.
While I was losing consciousness. When I open my eyes, I was a baby again I was so unwilling to accept my death that I cry nonstop for three days and after my memories of my past life became blurry until I forgot they even existed. Now looking back, it was my fault for forgotten and that's why right now I'm dying because I trusted the wrong people.
While being in awe trying to put the pieces together Caera was in a state of shock at her new discovery, she was brought back by a voice that felt familiar, but with no prior meeting at least that's what she think.
"do you want to go back and get revenge"
When she looked up there it was in front of her, a strikingly beautiful tall man well built with skin white as snow, long silky black hair reach to his back, beautiful slanted eyes red as the flowers she was laying on, there bathing under the moonlight standing in front of her with an aura that scream dominance. Without realizing her mouth already answered
"why would I want revenge when it was the path I chose, the consequences to my actions, I have no one to blame but myself"
He chuckled, while bending down and stroking her cheeks,
"so, you're would rather die here, how fascinating"
while the pain was excruciating her throat burning like It was on fire from the inside, the blood coming up in her throat, she didn't have the strength to throw it up, she said very calmly like death was her long-lost friend.
"the human being loses all rationalities when they face with death, they perceive death as something so scared that if you faced it you have to do everything in your power to run away from it, and that is by far one of the worse trait about the human mind, being afraid of the unknown, but we can't help it cause we just are nothing but HUMAN"
Memories start to flicker like a movie of the life she had forgotten, suddenly she remembered a quote from her past life that always fascinates her as she was always obsessed with knowledge itself.
"He who fight with monster should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
She kept on talking with a voice you can barely hear, but as beautiful and calm as the melody of the dead.
in my eyes the abyss is revenge, revenge turn you into an unrecognizable evil person, so I don't want to turn into that evil, all I want is a warm hug from mom, I regret not spending time with my little brother more he has the most adorable chubby face
'I want revenge' she though, of course I f**ing do who wouldn't want to in this situation, I'll be damn if I let those bastards left unpunished, I will destroyed them all and leave noting,
she wishes to say to the stranger in front of her, but she thought to herself,
not to him, I will get my own revenge without anyone's help I will hunt them till the end of time.
She was interrupted from her thoughts
"You're not like most humans I've met, your desires, greed doesn't drives you, instead you hide them like you are running away from them, that's fascinating and honestly it will keeps me entertained in this boring place , I want to see how long you will fight your desires, so that being said…."
he said with excitement
"This is my favorite flowers"
she cuts him off before he could finish
He responded
"why"
with an annoyance look on his, but only for a split second as he quickly became expressionless
"Because I like the myth being it"
maybe it was my imagination, because he looks expressionless now, she noticed.
"Oh, and what would that be"
"Some believes that "Manjushage" is the flower of heaven and that it will fall from the heavens as a signal of an upcoming celebration"
"That's just absurd, is that why you like it?"
"No"
"Then why do you fancy such things"
"Because it has another meaning, "jigoku-bana" they say that it grows along the banks of the river and that one must cross after death"
"Ha ha. Is that what you are thinking of right now?"
He said laughing as if she was abnormal for having such thought's
It took her a while to responded as it becomes harder to mention her consciousness, she said
"no, they say that it also grows in hell and that is fascinating to me"
He gazed upon her with admiration and curiosity
"why would you think that a flower from hell is fascinating?"
With her shaky voice she said,
"because the devil can have his own garden too, it's not a sin to plant flowers in your domain, you're a devil yourself don't you like this flower bed"
"….."
It became silent as if the wind was in a state of mourning, the night sky without a star in sight only the bright moon that chased away the darkness and keeps what creeps in the shadow at bay as if the world had frozen.
Her mind was going blank, the pain was fading away like it was never there, she started to feel cold.
The deep and soothing voice that broke the silence utter
"why would you say that I'm a devil, in this situation wouldn't someone assume that heaven heard their prayers, and proceed to thank god, and saying that an angel came to their rescue"
she couldn't help but chuckled while her voice became faint
"only the devil would take pity on me"
While she drew her last breath, she can only hear him from a far saying...
"Pity has nothing to do with it, but my fascination with the fact that a miscellaneous omitted lived for this long and not be notice, I will send you back, I'm curious to see how you…"
he stopped as if he was about to utter a forbidden spell, a secret that can never be known by anyone.
"I will grant you this one favor, being the gentlemen that I am, I will send you back to your happiest moment with your family and do cherish everything you have this time, since you don't know when they'll disappear again."
Wait I never agree to any of this, you willing to break the law of the universe and breach the rules of time just to entertain your boredom waiiiit, I never said agreed with any of this, you damn scammer… what the hell is a "miscellaneous omitted" she yelled but nothing came out as her bodied already went cold.
