The noble, being torched alive, screamed out for mercy.
T'was a tragic sight.
"Help me!" The pitiful man begged to the bandits he just mocked.
"Five... thousand... gold... I will depart onto you if you save me."
A desperate plea indeed,
Woeful thing, wilt away he shall.
"වතුර බිංදුව" Symbols appeared before the bandit leader, he shouted "Vatura biṁduva"
Mist from the sky gathered, the sun frowned upon them.
Water came down on the noble, but at a price, his soul would be condemned to the lulls of the sea.
For such was the curse bestowed upon him.
"Bless Indra! Thank you for saving me, kind men."
The bandits scoffed at him.
"Hide behind us you bumbling sacks of gold."
They approached Soukou, daggers in hand.
Akame prepared to jump out,
Mizu put his hand in front of her. "Not yet."
"But why not?!"
"Quiet now."
Quietly, she whispered "Why don't you want to help him?!"
"Did you not hear him? He said he would save her, not us."
Soukou, still in pain from the last spell, stood up and lifted his unburned hand.
"Are you okay?" The elf asked the boy.
"Right as day!" Sunshine beamed from his face, a strong lad that boy had been.
He shouted once again "Faiaburasuto!" this time only the symbol "ගි" a much weaker flame came out, the sun did not please it.
The flame died out before it could get anywhere.
"Hah! The boy must be out of mana fiber. Stab the girl in the leg, right in front of him, as punishment."
The girl was scared, she wanted to run as far as she could, but alas was still tied down.
One of the bandits walked up, took his knife, and cut straight through her leg.
She raged out in pain.
A woeful sight, a whispered lullaby of the moon.
Soukou stood up, lifted both his burnt hands, and prepared a spell.
"Woah! Boy, stop it! If you go ever your mana fiber you could kill yourself, I dont want the life of a boy on my hands."
The symbols: "ගිනි වැස්ස" showed in front of him, as a fire-red being showed behind him as Soukou Shousai said the words "Ru Faiaburasuto!"
Now, the heat of the sun burned his entire arm.
Before him, small portals opened, a tear of the sun in each, the sun wept.
Fire blasts reached out to them all.
Soukou, fell to his knees. He wilts in woe, and two bandits reaped the harvest of death.
Mizu and Akame both leaped out in front of Soukou, battle-ready.
