It was the 30th year the March of the Underworld started and this day marked the end of its horrible and distasteful march to claim this world of Angelanthus. The dead bodies of the skeletons zombies made up of kingdoms soldiers and civilians falling to the ground. The world eaters disintegrated to ash leaving bone behind and finally, the beautiful and angelic girl that was the same as us lying dead on the floor as my party of heroes stood heroically above the clouds and the dreadful fog that this girl had spread had slowly turned pure and full of life. Tears started to stream down my cheeks as I started to cry from all that I had lost when we started this mission to save the world. The two beautiful women with their charm and a handsome boy next to me patting my back knowing the same pain I had gone through. It took us 20 years of being trained and groomed to be weapons against this evil force. That was just a girl a strong girl.

We looked at her body to find that she was still breathing her beating heart getting louder and louder until her body started to rise from the ground the gap in her stomach flowing with blood. Her silver hair glows more with the moon's gaze before energy is released out into my body hopping to the next and next before leaving the heroes down to the corpses of the dead. the contorted pose with her feet on the ground sending chills down our spine before her head was back to its original pose. Her frail body was beaten to death. Was now untattered at all her clothes untouched.

The smile she gave me was the last thing I saw And it didn't show malice hatred or even a shred of hate. It was genuine and kind like a mother would give to her kid. Before that smile was warped into hatred and absolute disgust not to me but to the person I trusted most with a sword covered in the blood of his enemy, of his rival, and of his "friend". This wasn't a betrayal but a way to change his life. The two girls smile deviously celebrating as the hero's corps fell. The hero saw the warmth of his enemy toward him. While the silver-haired girl saw the wrath of the hero's party. She let out a command and the hero's body was enveloped with energy and he died there with no pain not knowing what happened. The silver-haired girl whispered into his soul.

"No need to fight anymore, Just rest after all you will not be alone you'll have someone you know"

It was soothing to me and so I died and waited for something to happen. Anything to happen but the darkness of the void lasted and lasted and lasted. No one was there and my mind was the only thing I could use, But after a couple more seconds a dark area opened up and I saw the girl again. The same silver hair that reflects the moon. The dress that should be impossible to move in while in combat on her lavish body again. And that same voice as earlier rang into my mind No ears.

"see I told you. You'll have someone you know"

I looked at the girl looking at me almost like she was going to laugh. I said to her in a sharp tone.

"I guess you wanted a second match even after I died witch"

I put my hand on the handle pulling my sword out. The shining blade was made from nothing but steel. The tip lighting on fire having it spread to the rest of the blade stopping at the hilt. In the blink of an eye, I was next to her as she screamed out just in time.

"Hey no no STOP!! hear me out"

I stopped as soon as she said it and put my blade away.

"fine I'll hear you out, what do you have to say"

The girl sighed in relief before speaking

"You're probably wondering a lot of things right now so I won't keep things short. You died and were brought here by me by a tether that I linked to your soul. The energy I released when I was dead was to see who was the most fitting for the tether it's a survival instinct, to be honest, and I have my reasons why I chose you"

A fierce look appeared in her eyes and the atmosphere in the room was crushing the room contorted and started to compress because of it before I took action setting the room back to normal before taking some time to process the information I was just given before sitting on the ground.

"And? What is this personal reason you speak of? I'm sure it's not because of some honor we killed each other at the last moment. The strange energy that tethered us kind of killed me remember? It ripped my soul out of my body causing me to die.

The girl looked at me with a perplexed gaze. before speaking

"Do you not know how you died? This is getting more and more agonizing as I speak to you what is your name you refused to say it to me no matter how many times I asked you during our fight."

"I do know witch I had my soul forcefully ripped out by your spell before I fell to the ground and you didn't need to know at all during the fight but I'm reasonable so I don't mind telling you now. My name is Matthew. Matthew Grimlock."

The girl looked at me before laughing a little.

" That's not how you died Matthew" Her expression became serious, " You died when your friend stabbed you through your heart and sullied your name reputation and everything you worked for your no hero anymore to the face of that world, You're the hero who sided with the villain to gain more power and my name is Elinor Von Clayren of the moonlight faction serving the goddess of the moon Sonya Tyche"

"You're not serious right" I looked to the ground in disbelief, anger, and plane range trying to think through the situation. Why they would even do something like this? Nothing came to me, Nothing at all.

"theirs no reason for them to do this"

but it was clear to even me that there was. I overshadowed their accomplishments for everything they did with greater ones and even in the end I was the one who stood before the villain Elinor. It was I who did everything while they slacked. They even dare call themselves heroes. I am the hero of my story and they should see it as well. I'll make them see it, no I won't make them see that I am a hero. I'll make them see something far worse.

"hahaha no no I was wrong I do vary well know why they attacked me it was because I WAS a hero." I paused for a moment

"I'll take a page out of your book Elinor I was a hero but this time I'm going to be a villain."
