"Every once in a while I have this same dream ... I'm in an empty black space, and then suddenly I see cascades of twinkling light of various colors, I follow these lights and then everything around me changes, until until a message in a blue screen appears. "
"It is often said that dreams have meanings, that they are those of this strange dream? Alice wondered. Then she heard a familiar voice calling her.
"Alice! Alice! Wake up ! "
Hearing the voice, Alice woke up, and as she opened her eyes she could see Teia's anxious face.
Then the memories of what happened at the Rembrandt Orphanage came back to him. She wondered what had happened. Then Teia told her what she knew. It had been about two days since they had been kidnapped and were now on their way to the brigand base. Children taken prisoner were in cages on wagons.
The trip would take a few more hours before he arrived at the base. It was an abandoned place in a mountain full of forest around, a place well hidden.
The prisoners were taken out of the wagons, the brigands looked at them with dirty expressions, especially when looking at the girls.
One of them said: "These are beautiful takes," he said, looking at the girls, my libido shuddering in advance! He added as a few others gave disgusting smiles as they gave the girls a makeover.
And then a tall, muscular man with a fresh scar on his face, stepped forward, standing in front of the one who had just spoken.
"Dariant, you better stay in check, we don't touch the merchandise!" He said looking coldly at Dariant.
Hearing this, Dariant frowned, it had been so long since he had had any fresh flesh that he at least wanted to do it with one of them.
Noticing Dariant's expression, the muscular man narrowed his eyes.
"Did you understand me? He asked coldly.
In response Dariant nonchalantly nodded.
"I'm doing it, boss! He said, muttering more words under his breath.
Following this, the leader sniffed coldly before leaving with the prisoners, leaving the disgruntled Dariant behind.
...
The kidnapped children were thrown into a large dilapidated cell, they had only what they needed for survival.
Days passed, the living conditions of the children being deplorable but they were still in good health.
However, everything changed when the chef was away.
Dariant and a few others sneaked into the prison and caught some young girls, whom they abused. Then they threatened them, and the latter fearing for their lives, could only keep their mouths sealed.
The act was repeated over and over, the children all keeping a deep trauma, however Dariant and his henchmen didn't care, they loved hearing the young girls' cries of agony - it sounded like a sweet melody in their ears.
The children were terrified, the leader hardly ever came to the prison leaving this to his subordinates who had been suborned by Dariant.
One day it was Teia's turn to undergo their treatment, and this time around Dariant and his henchmen all got together, throwing themselves voraciously on Teia, in front of Alice and the other children - their expressions. filled with shock and horror.
"Stop it, you motherfuckers !!! Alice cried angrily, struggling with the hold of two of Dariant's sidekicks.
"Calm down my pretty, when we're done with your friend, it will be your turn, be patient!" Dariant said with a wicked smile, tearing off Teia's clothes and revealing her blessed body.
"Leave the bastard!" Alice cried, however her words fell on deaf ears.
" Oh ? It is even more exquisite than the previous ones, it looks like we're going to have a lot of fun. Come on, we're all going at the same time! Dariant exclaimed. Then they all went abruptly to Teia, the scene was unbelievably horrifying for the other children to curl up in fear, but even more so for Alice. They were more than four to have thrown themselves on Teia, defiling her body.
They did this until Teia had even almost passed out, her eyes turning white.
Looking at this, Alice wondered, why ... Why did life keep laughing at her like this? Whenever she found happiness, it was always torn from her brutally, in this life as in the previous one. And moreover in each of them, Alice only saw how humans could be cities.
"Monster gang, you are not human !!! "
"I swear I will kill you, I will kill you all to the last !!! Alice cried hysterically.
"Ahah, what can a poor prisoner like you do?" Don't worry, we'll take care of you right away! Dariant said, approaching Alice with the dirty smile never leaving her face.
At that moment, the prison door opened, a figure quickly rushed towards one of Dariant's henchmen grabbing its head, and slamming it violently against the ground, splattering blood. Then a moonbeam swept over the figure, showing a peculiar scarred face to others in the room.
" Chief ! Dariant's henchmen shouted in shock, their faces turning pale in the face of reality.
"You dared to disobey my orders, and even seriously damaged the goods!" Who do you think you are, Dariant? Said the chief coldly, throwing himself at Dariant. However, a blue barrier appeared within a yard of Dariant, blocking the attack.
"Do you really think it's this little barrier that's going to stop me?" The Chief sniffled coldly, throwing his fist into the barrier, the barrier showing signs of cracks.
"If you haven't even managed to beat an old nun, she even left that ugly scar on your face, do you think he's a mage like me that you can beat?" Dariant mocked.
Hearing these words, the chief touched her face, remembering his battle with the nun. She was an excellent mage, dominating him in battle, and he could only narrowly escape with his tail between his legs.
"That was a special case, however getting rid of a leech like you won't be that difficult!" The chief replied curtly.
"Beware, leeches are very stubborn!" Dariant scoffed.
And then the battle between the chief and Dariant's camp erupted, attacks flying everywhere, hitting walls and passing by the prisoners - who in fear remained in a corner except for Alice who was at Teia's side.
The latter had a terribly pitiful appearance, her clothes torn and showing various parts of her body. In addition, she had received a ricochet attack from the Battle of the Brigands in her stomach, which punctured her stomach as well as part of her lung.
Teia spat blood, and Alice already by his side held her in her arms.
Cough ! Cough !
"Ahhhh! What a terrible pain! Teia declared.
"Teia, Teia, are you okay?" Alice asked very anxiously.
"Ahah, Alice, did you know you look even prettier when you make that expression… It should be a crime to be so cute!" Teia chuckled, before looking around and coughing up blood.
"Why even at times like this do you keep making silly jokes?" Alice asked sobbing.
"Che, if I don't do it when can I still do it?" Teia said, stroking Alice's cheeks.
"Don't cry, Alice, I want to see your smile again. Said Teia.
"How could I still smile with everything that happened?" Alice said still sobbing.
"Humph ...! "
"Alice, there is a breach that appeared in the wall, I want you to take advantage of the chaos and escape!" Teia said, still stroking Alice's face.
"How could I leave without you?" Alice said.
"You know very well that I don't have much time left," said Teia, "but you have your whole life in front of you, and if you manage to escape, I want you to live it fully. "
"I would also, if possible, wish you to become a strong magician who will protect the weak, okay?" Can you do this for me, please? Teia declared, smiling at Alice and slowly closing her eyes.
Noticing that there was no more sign of life from her friend's body, Alice burst into tears, embracing Teia's mutilated body.
Since their meeting about a month ago, Teia had never stopped smiling at her, and until the very end she did.
After hugging her friend tight for the last time, Alice stood up, saw the breach and took advantage of the chaos in the battle to escape. Noticing his prey escaping, Dariant bellowed at it however he couldn't do anything, too busy with his fight.
"When I'm done I'll catch up to you and you'll see!" He cried.
For his part, the chief barely glanced at the figure of Alice who was already entering the forest. He didn't care about her, being far too insignificant to her, for he was occupied by the troublesome enemy in front.
...
In the forest, Alice was running as fast as she could, hurtling down the mountain. She ran without stopping, thinking about the words of her late friend, and occasionally shedding tears in her path. As she ran, she often bumped into a few branches, causing small bruises on her smooth, white skin.
After about ten minutes, she had already walked more than five hundred meters - because surprisingly, she had good physical capacities, but she exhausted herself despite everything. She then went under a tree, bathed in the rays of the moon.
As two minutes passed she felt movements a few meters from her, and after that she also heard a scream.
Aouuuuh!
A large gray wolf, athletic build, with sharp claws and fangs, looked at Alice cruelly. Seeing this, Alice quickly stood up and ran with all her might. The chase began and the two headed deep into the forest. However, as time went by, new wolves were added to it, gradually cornering this dear Alice.
And then they come to some kind of old temple that had some mold. Noticing the temple, Alice rushed there to find refuge. Arrived at the entrance, she saw two large doors of about three meters, she pushed them with all her strength and succeeded somewhat in opening them.
Grrrr!
The doors creaked open, and then Alice entered the temple. Once inside, she hurriedly shut the doors, however a large paw gripped them.
Snap!
The doors slammed open, slamming Alice a few feet away. Next, a two-meter wolf was seen entering the temple, its silhouette was majestic and it had a mark on its forehead, showing its status as a leader.
Seeing him, Alice ran miserably to the middle of the large room. However, her pace was not as vigorous as before since she had a broken rib. The wolf slapped her with his paw and we saw Alice's silhouette stolen and crashed into a sort of altar.
Holding her sides, Alice felt extremely miserable and exhausted, her eyesight faltering.
"Damn, I'm in so much pain!" Alice cried, she had never felt so much pain, her whole body ached. She couldn't take it anymore.
"What good is it," she said, "I only suffered, it is better that I die now and that all this suffering end there!" Alice exclaimed resolutely, closing her eyes and awaiting her spell, her blood streaming down the altar.
"Ah, it's true, I won't even be able to fulfill Teia's last wishes ... It's such a shame! She thought with her eyes closed.
And then...
[Here is another human who gives up, it is so pitiful. They are always there playing the strong, but when the difficulty is too great, they give up without a fight - it is really pitiful!] Exclaimed a voice.
" What...! Who are you ? Alice asked curiously.
[Oh ? You can hear me, interesting ..!] The voice said curiously.
[Are you asking who I am?]
[Alright, open your ears wide!]
[I am the domination, the power, the tyrannical ruler ... Some call me the destroyer, and others Abaddon ...!]
[But my name is Azazel!]
[I am Azazel, the lord of Pride!]
