Marie the Shadow

In the Wood

"What are you doing?" the magician inquired.

"We take revenge on my brother, whom you used to sacrifice. Now you must face your death," remarked an archer.

A green wand is about to be taken by a magician. However, the black one was discovered. He was about to cast a spell when an arrow struck him in the neck. As a result, the incantation cannot be clearly heard. Several arrows followed, and the magician died from a lack of blood and oxygen.

Marie was not far from the magician. The fear of death triggers memories to resurface. Only running is possible. The events of today are causing tears to flow freely.

Marie couldn't keep up with the archers when it came to running speed. The archers got closer and closer. He was even more terrified by the arrows. She is in possession of the black crystal that is the furthest away.

"Please don't kill me," Marie begged, her eyes welling up with tears.

"You're in luck because the Prince wishes to enslave you. You'll be a corpse if you don't, "remarked an archer.

Accept the fact that Marie is capable. There is no ability to fight. Her skin was about to be pierced by an arrow. Hands that aren't bound aren't necessarily free. Her steps were accompanied by pointing arrows.

The magician stepped on the fallen green crystal, which broke. The flakes dissolve in the soil, which contains a refracting element. Any crystal that has soaked in the solution will be refracted. Plants are affected by green crystals. No one noticed, but the forest landscape was slowly and randomly changing. Trees and plants shifted their positions. The forest's shape has changed, and it is no longer the same as before.

Nobody knows how far they walked, but they never made it out of the woods. It's getting darker and darker, to the point where the vision can't tell what's going on around it. Until Marie's bare foot stepped on a thorn by accident. "Ow," she exclaimed. When the thorn was pulled out, blood flowed.

"Be careful, if there are a lot of wounds, I'll be in trouble," an archer soldier warned.

"We should take a break first. If we keep going, the girl's wounds will become increasingly severe. Alternatively, we can simply kill it to make things easier. Let's pretend we didn't complete the mission and the witch assassinated her "said one of his friends.

"Let's have some fun with it before we kill it. She has to be delicious and sweet," The other soldier agreed.

Marie's trauma was escalating. She bolted, not wanting anything bad to happen to her. Marie didn't know where she was going, but the important thing was to get away. Something that has a strong sense of proximity is avoided. Fall has been felt many times.

Marie was unsure of the length and distance of the walk. She was on the lookout for a secure location. She went to places where it was a little bright. The young lady ventured into space. The ground she was standing on had given way. Marie shone brightly from afar. "Argh!" she exclaimed. The girl tried but failed to get up. She doesn’t know what happened to those legs. Drowsiness is induced by fatigue and hunger. The most obvious option is to sleep.

The sun is now shining brightly. As a result, Marie's eyes widened. The cave is the first thing she sees. Let's take a closer look at what happened to her body. The legs were covered in scratches. She tore the extra clothes she was wearing. The cloth was removed from the arms and legs. The girl left the cave in search of a potion, but she noticed that someone else was more seriously injured. Marie crept up behind the man. Their lives have not yet been taken by wounds. A sword that had fallen to the ground was picked up and used as a walking aid.

Marie gathered a number of plants. The legs and waist were then softened and attached. She cried several times as a result of the pain. She returned to the cave with the rest of the herbs.

Marie was taken aback when she saw a snake approaching and wrapping itself around the man's body. Marie drew a sword without further ado. The snake squirmed and moved aimlessly because of the iron stuck in its body. Just do as she did and walk away. Unfortunately, the leg that is still hurting cannot be compromised, causing the girl to fall to the ground. She retreated backwards, one step at a time. However, the snake's feet can still reach hers. The twist was so tight that it aggravated the leg pain.

Marie's stomach was grumbling as she felt hungry. The brain has already started to think nonsense. The eyes are no longer in sync. What is visible is what will be eaten. The snake in front was grabbed and sucked like a big meal.

The snake, not to be outdone, wrapped itself around Marie's body. Mutual prey exists. Until they were both knocked out.

Marie had been sleeping for over two hours. She had sucked the snake into the side until she felt full. The snake's body was dragged until the stuck sword reached it. Marie took out the sword and ripped through it several times until she was satisfied. Marie used the sword as a tool once more. She approached the man and poured some potions into his mouth.

Marie's leg wound had not yet healed, but that didn't stop her from moving. She took slow, stumbling steps in the direction of some firewood. Running water is poured onto the leaves. Marie returned to the cave again.

Three different stones Marie was carrying. Writing was done with snake blood. Each stone has the name of a family member engraved on it.

"I apologize for not being able to properly bury you, Mother, Father, and Brother. I can only do so with this symbol. You're all happy there, and I'll be there soon." She shed a tear. The stones are taken out and placed in the earthen basin. Marie was completely engulfed in the earth. Her tears streamed down onto the phony tomb. Three twigs were stuck as memorials to the deceased family members. She lay there, unable to contain her sadness.

The aroma of roasted meat spread throughout the room. It was detectable by a seriously injured man. Before the normal ending, the man's eyes opened and a slight glare appeared. Because of his injuries, he was unable to move and investigate the source of the odor. I saw a girl wearing revealing clothing with holes in the front. "Where am I?" he asked quietly and abruptly.

Marie turned around and looked in the direction of the low voice. The patient has regained consciousness and is now being treated. Even though the movement was slow, the imperfect footsteps did not slow it down. She ignored her own injuries in order to check on the man. The fact that he fell because he slipped on a small stone was overlooked. Blood poured from the wound, which was widening and gaping without being felt. Marie stood up and took a step closer to the man. "We're in the woods, sir. My name is Marie, and I'd like to introduce myself. Please tell me who you are," Marie inquired as she asked.

"What happened?" the old man inquired. "I'm Miryu Loven."

"I'm not sure. I see that you've been seriously injured, and I'm attempting to help you. Just take a break for a while," Marie remarked.

Standing up, Marie walked away from Miryu. She held the water-filled leaf near the old man. Miryu's brows were slightly raised. While dripping water from a small leaf, she looked at Miryu's face. Miryu drank water drop by drop until the container was half empty. Marie regained her footing and took the roast beef. The flesh was gradually torn apart so that it could enter Miryu's body.
