before she fell to the ground the man swiftly caught her shoulder, his grip was very firm that his long fingers began digging into her skin.
"aish!" she hissed in pain
"He who is sacred, He who is pure, He who is Reverenced, He who is anticipated..." His reciting continued.
she ignored the splitting pain from her shoulder and asked the question that was baffling her "what are you? what do you want from me?"
it seems he had heard her question cause he stopped his recitation and said "come with me, Alteazor awaits"
Alteazor...
who the fuck was Alteazor?
Elara has never heard that name since the beginning of her life, now all of a sudden some creature pops out and claims a so_called Alteazor was awaiting her? Like the fuck she was actually going to go with him.
"I'm not going! I'm not going anywhere with you!" She exclaimed and began struggling. the thought of following him away was more terrifying than him killing her at an instant, at least if he killed her, her family would still her body to bury but if she followed him... she didn't even want to think of it
"you must come with me, Alteazor awaits" The guttural voice resounded in her ears again but she didn't want to listen to it, she was busy struggling and fighting to break free from his hold.
A crazy idea popped into her head and all of a sudden she bent her head towards his hand and gnawed out a huge pound of flesh.
"grrrr!" an animal-like sound came out of the man's mouth and he took his hands back.
Elara didn't even wait a split second, the moment his hands left her shoulder she turned and dashed away with all her might, she wasn't looking back, all her focus was on. escaping away from that monster, she really want to survive. Her fear and pain had morphed to adrenaline for her body.
"argh!!" the man roared angrily and chased after her.
she could feel the distance between them closing with each second and he was right on her tail but she didn't stop running, though her body felt heavy and she felt faint she didn't want to stop.
"i must live! I can't die yet!" she kept telling herself as she ran.
then all of a sudden she felt a huge pressure at her back and her body was thrown metres to the front before it slammed heavily on the floor.
splurt!
she spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to stand up but she came crumbling back down.
"He who must be acquired or must be destroyed" The man said when he got to where she was.
"you must come with me to Alteazor"
"I won't go! I don't want to go!" Elara shook her head rapidly while attempting to crawl backwards. She grimaced to the pain that shot through her body as she made every slight movement.
"Alteazor awaits"
her heart sank as she saw his hands closing in on her, she could see her end and it was really heartbreaking.
could this really be the end? was she going to vanish like that?
she would never see her mother again, never see her father again or see her stepbrothers again. oh if she had just one more chance, she really would cherish it, but it was no longer possible.
this was the end...
she closed her eyes and awaited the inevitable end.
"grrgh!" the man loud shriek jolted her eyes open.
when Elara opened her eyes she saw a woman battling with the man, their fight was intense and though she didn't understand the pressure surrounding them, she could clearly see that they were both strong people.
The man's attack was fierce and brutal both in all the woman was nimble enough to avoid all of them, her body moved from aside to side, from afar it looked like she was floating on air and her feet could be seen on the floor. while the man fought with his long claws, she on the other hand held some sort of shiny material on her hand.
Elara squinted her eyes to see clearly what the woman was holding, her gaze was already wavering so she couldn't see well, she finally made out the object to be a sword.
Sword?
this was the twentieth century, who still fought with swords?
the sword looked weird and mystical as it emitted bright light and held a chilling aura.
"grrrr" the man squealed loudly as the sword had pierced his chest, his body shook a number of times and when Elara expected that he would fall floor, his body surprisingly dispersed into the air as a ball of smoke. she was surprised but not too surprised cause she already figured out that he was normal.
'why does this woman look familiar?' she thought when she saw the woman walking towards, she concentrated trying to see the woman's face clearly but never got to cause her eyes suddenly blanked and she passed out.
