命運史詩 | 神律：終界 - 一：終之大地 - 1

紅土之上，疾風翻起沙塵，在早被汙染成穢土的大地連連嘆息。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIdUz5f9b

以魔力驅動的列車沿著透明管道駛過荒蕪沙漠，載著人們從平凡小鎮朝那人煙稠密的城市奔去。在終界，文明被侷限於散射微弱白光的屏障裡，大大小小的屏障隔絕淨土與穢土，守護著城市與鄉村；那些都是生機搖籃之地，受神祇降福人世所創立的最後淨土。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmHh4dAisx

列車駛至終點站，為終界唯一國的首府──薄暮城帶來新的訪客，亦載走另一批人到紅土彼岸燈火處。各自命運交織起習以為常的一切，對命運的唯一神抱以絕對的信仰，深信祂引領眾生在無常盛世中得以存續。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq0IDtPOjx

車站外不遠處是一所氣派堂皇的大教堂，朝日光輝照過頂樓的拱形裝飾及淡紅磚牆，彷彿為它披上一抹聖衣。琉璃色大門內側是一片壯重之地，陽光從玻璃天井斜射入內，沿著廣間中央以大理石雕成的神像照亮每一個角落。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16IpP7AYFZ

跪在神像前的拱形祈禱區的是一位留有縷長青髮，身穿一襲低調裙裝的少女。她雙手合十，閉起如晨光般的淡色雙瞳，虔誠向命運神尊像立下禱告。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLBOoFn8eM

日上三竿，這名為埃美克戎的少女，攜著從光輝中拔出的尖銳長槍步出教堂。穩重步伐踏過熙攘大街，轉入人煙稀疏的暗巷，止步於一不顯眼的小屋門前。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrqxvTy1m2

「妲羽！」走進古典風格小屋裡，遂放下凝重心情，換上一臉輕快微笑走到巨大星盤前，搭著正觀察當中星象的粉髮女孩。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8a9T3F2Xq

「啊！埃美姐！妳要出發了嗎？」女孩整理頭上那頂過於寛大的帽子，稚嫩臉蛋仰望著親友的容貌，對她即將離去顯得依依不捨。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4sN4Iz77t

「不可以呢，淨土之外的世界對妲羽來說太危險了。到處都是會吃掉天上星星的怪物，它們要是餓了，也許會把妲羽也吃掉的啊。」而埃美克戎只是輕笑著撫摸妲羽頭上的魔法帽，婉轉地把腦內男聲口中所言回話。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBOvQUWTcH

這是兩人自邂逅以來首次離別。這兩年來朝夕相對的臉孔，如今要應一個素未謀面的神秘聲音所召而離她而去。魔法帽子亦掩蓋不住那理所當然的困惑，還有絲毫對整件事情的好奇心。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOwF2iTwJE

然而，長年受腦海裡神秘聲音主導的埃美克戎，卻深知箇中潛伏眾多未知變數。穩重踏實的雙腳何嘗不會暗自顫抖、腦海亦不曾冒出些少猜忌，只是她對那聲音主人的堅定信仰強行抑住了心中每一種懼意，哪怕要跟相依為命的親友分隔天邊。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQFGugOwJ

目送妲羽的身姿、還有這稱作「家」的陋室被木門一一遮蔽，深知歸期如夢的埃美克戎頓時皺起眉頭，留下一抹淚水說道：2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwB35DJlm

抹去別離哀痛，埃美克戎獨自踏上街道一隅的巨大圓形法陣，輕碰眼前現出的地圖映像上最右方商業區中央的一個黃點，一抹藍光過後，巨大法陣之外早已從寧靜熟悉的住宅區，變成喧鬧繁榮的商業中心。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0EQn8Qqt

名店櫥窗後華麗的長裙、陽光下耀眼的寶石飾物，以至食店裡飄逸的香烤風味，都並未吸引埃美克戎的注意，只有快步穿過人群，尋找下一個圓形法陣繼續趕路。如此經過數次瞬移，再加上一陣步程過後，她總算是來到都城東部邊陲，確認四周除了她再沒別的身影後，便伸出右手輕輕觸動圍牆缺口上的透明結界，使其張開一個剛好能讓她通過的缺口。前路已經打開，縱使心裡仍帶有絲毫不安，她堅定的步伐再沒猶豫，背對奢靡人世穩實踏出如同生命搖籃的淨土。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznRMjPYC7C

沙塵沖刷間，男子的聲線在腦內再度響起，說著：「守護終界文明的結界並非穩牢得可以一直抵禦侵攻，清掃淨土外的汚物，就是妳存在的意義。」2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIjCImgEv

埃美克戎說罷，手上長槍遂揮出光刀徑直衝向不遠處飄蕩的黑色物體，烏漆驅體為光芒瓦解，不留下一絲殘骸。埃美克戎又一步上前，在物體消失之處屈膝嘗試尋找它曾經存在的痕跡。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9wuBZ1xws

止住不斷往前的步伐，往後一瞥，被半透明結界包裹的高樓群早已沒入地平線之下。初次離鄉別井、與同為孤身的妲羽分隔，埃美克戎亦不忘掛心著，想像著妲羽獨自坐在星盤前醉心於星象裡的光景。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq8H7pR9oc

「妲羽，妳是否也坐在天台觀星呢？」抬頭望天，暫且放下使命，相依為命的女孩那玲瓏身段便再度在腦海現出，領著埃美克戎憶起往事。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiVO7kLXPH

她依稀記得，與妲羽第一次抬頭觀天之時，星海亦是如此燦爛無比。天上星星在地上生靈眼裡像是恆久不滅，默默看守人們世代安居淨土中。然而，星夜最初在埃美克戎眼裡卻意外陌生，皆因她的記憶始於無明的夜裡，藉靠攜帶星光的少女點亮前路。2016Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPDpIdWRYm
