Chapter 11 - An unexpected event

'Still here?' After losing consciousness I find myself again in this dark place, but this time I am immediately greeted by that mixed spark of various colors. 'You are here.'

I reach out to try to touch it, I succeed, but only with one finger, but as soon as I touch it, a sharp pain attacks my head. I see images of confusing things, events I've never witnessed, mysterious creatures and many other things, but at an imperceptible speed.

'Arhgg' these visions vanish when they came, but I can't figure out what I just saw, it was all too chaotic. "Where it went?" the spark I'd just touched was gone, but as I try to see where it's gone, a warmth begins to emanate from the inside of my chest, not a skin-burning heat, but a welcoming one.

'But what?!' I look down at my chest and am greeted by the same colors that made up the spark, but now emanating from my chest. 'Wait! don't tell me you entered my chest, you are really rude.' I don't know why but as soon as I had that contact with that spark, I no longer see it as a thing but as a friend.

'Besides that heat I feel something else.' I look at my arms, those mixed colors seem to cross the veins of my body, illuminating them under my skin. 'Wooooow.' I find what is happening to me quite unbelievable, even if I don't know what is happening.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ork approaches the body of the unconscious boy on the ground, but notices something anomalous. That blow was enough to smash the head of a mere human being, but this boy's was unharmed, apart from a small streak of blood in his hair.

The savage hasn't thought much about it, and he prepares to strike another blow, this time using more force. But as he was about to throw it, a light exploded from the boy's body, sending the orc flying several meters away.

That light that becomes a column of light, mixed with various colors, rising up to the sky, is also beyond it, surpassing the atmosphere of Arthia. All those present, including the orks, stopped in what they were doing, and concentrated on that pillar made up of colors ranging from yellow to blue, from blue to purple.

"Darion?" She Gilberta she whispers the boy's name, realizing that she hadn't noticed him in the middle of that massacre. The beam soared so high into the sky that it was noticed even thousands of miles away.

The pillar only lasts a few seconds and eventually disappears, leaving behind only the figure of Darion, who is now standing. The latter opens his eyes, his irises that were azure, are now surrounded by the three colors that made up the column of light.

"I feel strange." I came out of that dark place again and, opening my eyes, I see that everyone present is looking at me with shocked looks. 'What is so strange about me that it attracts everyone's eyes?'

They are apparently still watching me, but one of the orks recovers and starts charging at me with a greatsword in hand. I move too, guided by my instinct, and face the Ork with my bare hands. But to my surprise, a blade of light composed of various colors extends from my arm, it seems to be made of Astra. 'I don't believe it!' I move faster than normal and catch the orc by surprise, cutting off his head with this astral blade.

"Strong!" I exclaimed in astonishment, he immediately started tackling the Orks with this blade. One, two, three and so on I start slashing every single Ork in my path, looking unstoppable in my lone charge, but too caught up in my heat of excitement, the blade wears out and I start to feel very tired. I fall to my knees and crumple to the floor, not immediately losing consciousness, but staying awake just in time to witness a surreal event.

A rift appears in the midst of all this crowd of people, this rift opens and inside it we see what appears to be a azure land, with trees and bushes with azure colored leaves, the sky was also completely azure, with pink streaks pass through the latter.

Not even the time to understand what we are seeing, that the gash begins to suck up all those present inside it, both humans and orks. Most get sucked in, but a few resist, grabbing anything in sight.

To my dismay, I watch Jeff and Linda get sucked inside.

"MOTHEEEEEEER!" Gilberta's desperate screams reach my ears, strangling my heart, I've never heard Gilberta scream with such sadness.

'I can't move, damn it!' My body is about to be pulled into that gash, when suddenly the suction stops, leaving behind an eerie silence that lasts only a millisecond.

A shockwave of unknown power expands from the rift, engulfing all present.

No one was present in that place anymore, even some trees and rocks had disappeared. After a few minutes Endrick arrives, attracted by the silver ring.

"But what?!" he can't figure out what happened, he notices bloodstains scattered here and there, but he doesn't see anyone there. "Lindaaaa! Gilbertaaaa! Aldooooo!" The man tries to attract the attention of his loved ones, even risking attracting the orks, but no one answers him.

"Damnation!" She touches the ring, trying to find comfort in it. 'I arrived too late and also abandoned my men. I am a fallen nobleman.' Endrick falls to his knees, as if he has lost all hope of ever finding his family again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost at the same time as the rift opens at Darion's location, where the battle to protect the village took place, Josh lies on the ground, with many wounds on his body. He was losing a lot of blood and his death was imminent, one of the orks approaches, intending to finish off the old man.

'Why? My lord, why did he abandon us in our last battle? I would have died for you and your family at any moment if you had commanded me… so why… 'Those must have been Josh's last thoughts, before his departure.

But out of nowhere the head of the ork executioner is severed and a figure hidden by a dark veil appears and quickly begins to kill every single ork. After the massacre, she walks over to Josh and kneels beside him.

"You will not die today, Josh, on the contrary... today you will be reborn, under my name." The figure addresses Josh, initiating his fate, still unknown to the people he knew…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the explosion of the shock wave, in the middle of a path a few kilometers from the accident, a body appears above the road, falling to the ground.

the body was none other than Darion, unconscious, is motionless in the middle of that path.
