[POV - ????]
DAMNIT!
DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNITTTT
WHY ME?? WHY MEEEEE!!!
GOD
FUCKING
DAMNIT!!
[Crescendus Termino]!
The battle raged on, beasts, endless in number, they....just kept coming.
One after the other, beast after beast. The horizon...it couldn't even be called that anymore.
What am I doing here...I could've been in my room, sipping on a cup of ice tea, and reading books while listening to music. But NoOoOOoOOO, the universe just NEEDS to take it's shit on me.
On this god forsaken planet, ON THIS GODFORSAKEN MOON!
Another lunged, pouncing out from the-
[Fermata]!
Mana dispersed around me as space locked. The beast held mid air as if time stopped.
"Hah, as if it could be that convenient. Might as well send me back home if it was"
[Canon]!
Mana coalesced to form bolts. Bolts of what seemed to be mixes of different colored lights of the spectrum. Almost like a bad prism experiment gone wrong. They rushed ahead of me, clearing the way, piercin-no, ripping through beasts in a gory fashion.
It was disgusting.
"Varric! How much longer until this wave ends!"
He looked back at me, barely, hacking through monsters with a metal blade. Though it could barely be called that either, more like a toothed and jagged piece of metal. But even if the weapon had lost it's sharpness, he still put enough force behind it to brute force it.
"6 Minutes!" He yelled back at me. He wasn't angry, I just wouldn't have heard him over the growls and screaming of all these....monsters.
"We need space, Miyu Glanchick, we need something to clear out some space! Give us time to breathe"
So righteous. So inclusive and charismatic. SO ANNOYING.
What do you mean 'we', I'm the one who's gonna have to cast it aren't I? You're just barely hacking away at these things too.
AND IT'S MIYU GALANIS YOU FU-
I raised my hands into the air, as if to try and reach for the...not sky, but the endless stars above.
[Elegy]
And clenched the mana that began to leave me.
[Danse Macabre]!
My mana shook, squeezed, twisted and turned. Then it came. The silence. I hated the silence...but I needed it for what came next.
A sound, a flute- no 2, they rang out. Then followed the clarinets. Ah, finally, my percussion. One by one a symphony of sounds echoed on the battlefield.
And so the world sung.
The cacophony of chaos around me seemed to fade into the background as I unleashed my magic, weaving intricate spells with a flourish of my hands. Damn right I was the one casting it, while Varric was just swinging his glorified metal stick. But I had to admit, his brute force did come in handy sometimes.
But right now, it's not enough.
With a surge of power, I unleashed my spell, feeling the mana twist and turn within me as it formed into a symphony of destruction. The air crackled with energy as the {Skill} took shape, and soon the battlefield was filled with the eerie melody of death.
As the music swirled around us, the mana left as a torrent from within me. My....I don't know what, but it burned. My body burned, as if my veins had been set on fire.
Not now. 6 Minutes. 6 more minutes, I had to hold on that long.
"Take that, you ugly bastards!" I shouted, my voice echoing over the battlefield as I unleashed my spell upon the horde of monsters.
The mana began to spread, from beast to beast, like plague. As it did, their shapes contorted unnaturally. Their limbs twisted and flayed. Then they just fell apart.
Just like that.
And just like that, more came pouring in.
Varric shot me a glance, a mix of annoyance and admiration in his eyes. He may not have liked my attitude, but beggars couldn't be choosers.
Asshole, you're alive cause of me.
I began to strain. I couldn't keep holding out like this. [Elegy] put too much of a toll on me. I didn't even like using these [Skills], it was a bad reminder of how I ended in this place. And- SHIT!
Another beast ran up to me. It's gnarly little face approached, and its maw opened wide. And...I couldn't defend, not like this.
I really didn't expect to die this way. I really didn't.
And...I didn't?
I opened my eyes to the same beast. Only difference?
It was dead. A jagged and damaged sword buried in it's skull. The inscriptions on it flickered with blue light momentarily before going out.
[Elegy] was beginning to wane. The tide of beasts were starting to close the distance between us. I just didn't have the endurance to keep it up any longer.
"Varric!" I yelled.
He looked back at me, taking out his sword from the carcass in front of me.
"I can't hold it much longer"
"It's fine, I didn't expect much anyways...It's a miracle you've bought us-" he looked at a screen on his arm "-4 minutes. It strange we've lasted this long. Or should I say that this is expected of such an exalted figure such as yourself"
"Mrs Traveler"
"Ugh, was it that obvious? It's Miyu by the way"
"Partly, then again, rumors of a new batch of Travelers had been spreading. It wasn't hard to put two and two together"
My shoulders sagged, not with exhaustion, but pain.
2 minutes. Just a bit longer. The world blurred, and spun. Nauseous, I-I needed to puke. Not HERE!
I held, it felt like hours. My mind felt like it was being ripped apart.
I....I CA
"MIYU!"
"Huh?"
"Its done....they're leaving"
Dazed, I looked around. The Siege, it was retreating.
I looked back at him, as he smiled wryly.
"Take rest Traveller...we need you in your best condition for when they return"
"Hm? REturn?" I asked, my voice cracking. But before I did, everything faded...
Faded to black.
