Ugh… The darkness... again.
Oh, wait! It’s white now.
Where exactly… am I again?
Is there a way that I WOULDN’T lose my mind? I’m trapped inside my head most of the time. Gimme a break, please…
Andrey walked a few steps forward into nothingness.
A low bassy sound traveled with great speed from behind. He turned around to follow the sound, but there was no visible object as it went past
Oh, no. Have you been betrayed before? What are your thoughts, guys? Do you like where this is going? Write in the comments, or check me out on my Facebook page. Also, of course, leave a review here as well ^^
Speak up. It’s me. Don’t hide.I know you’re there. Both of you.Stop hiding. Come out.I don’t feel like walking endlessly in here, so how about you two just appear like you usually do.While plotting his revenge up there on that icy and cold mountain peak, Andrey knew that he would need more power, more than he used to have, so he could successfully survive, and also be able to achieve anything.As he was sitting there, the tears on his face had already frozen, as he meditated and tried to discover a technique through which he would dive into his inner world at any time he wanted.
My strength… is half of what it used to be. It’s been too many days. I lost track of them. I still haven’t eaten anything. I don’t want to recover my mana, because I believe that if all of my blue mana is cleared out, then I would be able to tap into the black mana pool that I have.Though since the first time I thought of this already has been more than several weeks.I have used up almost everything and I feel like I’m about to collapse. My body feels weak. I’m reinforcing myself with mana so I can keep on walking.Last time I drank water, I noticed something strange… My eyes. I’m like a vampire. They are red.I know that they used to turn red before when
“Amryr, which is the closest town in this direction?” Andrey asked the boy who had cried out all his tears and simply followed along his savior now."Behind those mountains ahead”, the boy pointed forward, “East-City. It’s the nearest city. I know because daddy used to go there from time to time.”Interesting.“Oh? Your daddy went to the city? What for?”This family seemed like outcasts. Literally. They hunted for food; they chopped trees for warmth and went to the river for water. What could have the man done in the city?“I don’t really know. He never told me. He would be away for a week and then come back. Just as smiling as ever…” t
It was less than a few kilometers out of the east side of East-City where the bandit crew led Andrey and Amryr into a cave.Just a few meters after entering it, there were strange symbols drawn on the very cave, signaling that it was bandit territory.Andrey only observed and moved along. He didn’t feel threatened by those weaklings. Amryr observed everything with huge interest, as he had never been at such a place before. He knew there were caves, but never really got inside one.After embracing the coldness that a cave had to offer inside it, the group was met by a few bandits who stood guard.They recognized the bruises on Scar - the bandit who first raised a hand against Andrey. The guards let the group pass and enter deeper into the cave.
I see. So he is more than meets the eye… But that’s not really a surprise. I expected this.It seems he doesn’t know that my mana is halved, or at least not yet. Perhaps he might think I am conceiving it.Onyx squeezed Andrey’s hand considerably hard and pulled it to the side in an attempt to dis-balance him. The leader’s right hand was already flying towards his opponent’s stomach, but as he thought the hit would be successful, Andrey had already a plan behind this.From the palm, Andrey released a burst of mana that would serve as the recoil from when you fire a gun.This concluded with a powerful slap across Onyx’s face. As for the incoming attack towards the black-mage’s stomach, it was hi
‘Oh no, that’s the same ability he used on Devil to defe-’ Onyx realized as Andrey’s arm reached his head, but it was too late. The last thing he saw was the dragon marking on his opponent’s palm. A white flash filled Onyx’s eyes, and just a second later, he could see Andrey walking to him. The black dressed mage came out of the darkness and spoke, “This world. The main event is a game. A game of balance. You give, you take. You take, you give. Or something gets taken from you. These are the fundamentals of the game’s rules.” “Why… are you saying this to me?” Onyx asked. “This is a world I created especially for you. Feast your eyes upon it.” Andrey replied. They shifted to Sanctuary. The location seemed bigger. It was filled with different magical orn
Bursts of slashing flames threw bodies in the air, most of them burned to a crisp. Onyx couldn’t control his powers at that point. They consumed him, and lucky is what he was, that the blades drained out the mana directly as he generated any to his arms. Otherwise, he would have self-destroyed.A double-edged blade. That’s what mana and magic is, although the two swords - Red Flame and Stormwind - were the perfect remedy for this.What would have been Onyx’s demise was now the peak of his power and battle capabilities.Fifteen minutes later, the smell of burned flesh had filled the cave. Onyx was breathing heavily as nobody was charging at him anymore. Nobody was left to do so.Only Z watched from a distance. /the letters written in italic in this chapter will be the first person perspective of Amryr/ It took a while, really. Lord Red Eye empowered almost all members of the organisation. Well, the ones that survived, that is. Most failed the initial intelligence test. Those who failed it simply died. Their bodies turned to ashes or they bursted. Some were also crushed by this epic power that Lord Red Eye has that manipulates people’s bodies. I don’t know how he does it, but it is definitely a power one would lust to have. Those who lived through the test and got empowered are the official and only members of Red Eye Organization.Makiya 210. The Diary
