The Last Gods - Ch 7

After entering the cave, it became clear that this was no ordinary cave. It was unnaturally dark and quiet.

Hashi: “!”

Hashi: “Guys!”

Arrea: “What is it Hashi?”

Hashi: “Where’s the exit?”

Everyone: “!!!”

Everyone looked behind and saw nothing but darkness, a gaping void.

Arrea: “What the-”

Dullahan: “Kirin, light.”

Kirin’s horn lit up and pushed back the darkness but it was no use. The light did not show us where we were, it’s like we’re in another dimension.

Kate- “Arrea...”

Arrea- “Stay close to me.”

Hashi- “What do we do?”

Dullahan- “….”

Dullahan- “We have to push forward, no use in staying put. Everyone stay close to Kirin.”

Everyone moved as close as possible to Kirin, maybe a bit too close.

Dullahan- “Okay Kirin, move towards the direction we were originally going but be careful.”

We moved through the abyss slowly, huddled together under the light terrified of what might happen if we get lost in the darkness.

Hashi- “What do you think happened Dullahan?”

Dullahan- “….”

Dullahan- “I don’t know. It could be...”

*Clank*

Kate- “!”

Arrea- “Kate, I’m here.”

Hashi- “What was that?”

Dullahan pulls out his sword and everyone else gets into fighting stances.

Dammit, I can’t let them get hurt anymore.

In that instant I fill something slither past my leg.

Kate- “!!!”

Kate- “Arrea!”

Arrea- “Kate!”

We turn our heads towards Kate who is being pulled by something, something big. Arrea grabs her hand and tries to pull her from the darkness.

Arrea- “Help me pull her away from whatever that is!”

We pull with her with all our might but…

Kate- “Arrea!”

Arrea- “Don’t let go, okay! We survived worse than this Kate, don’t look go!”

I can’t let this happen, I can’t…

I can’t!

But…

*Slip*

Arrea- “!”

Kate- “Arre-”

*Whoosh*

And just like that she was gone.

Arrea collapses with tears streaming down her face and eyes like the dead.

Arrea- “No...”

Arrea- “That didn’t just happened.”

Arrea- “I can’t loss her again...”

Arrea- “….”

I…

Arrea- “Kateeeeeeeeee!!”

Arrea runs into the darkness. I tried to stop her but I was too late…

again.

As usual…

Dullahan- “Arrea! Kate!”

Dullahan- “Kirin, more light!”

Kirin’s horn grows brighter.

*Girlish Laughs*

Hashi- “!”

Dullahan- “Who’s there.”

???- “Silence God Slayers. Accept your punishment for stepping foot on this island.”

Hashi- “(Teeth Grinding)”

Hashi- “Where are my friends!!!”

???- “What happens to all slaves who slay their own kind, they die.”

Hashi- “No.”

Hashi- “You Scum!!!!”

???- “You are the scum here, killing you own kin. You should have died like the rest instead of joining those humans.”

Dullahan- “….”

Hashi- “….”

???- “Now you will receive judgment for your sins!”

All of a sudden the darkness gave way to a round room in the cave, looked to be carved by human hands.

*Screams*

We looked towards the source of the noise and in that instant Dullahan pushed me to the ground as the wall behind me was given a new large hole.

Dullahan- “A Banshee I see, Kirin.”

….

Dullahan- “Kirin?”

Banshee- “Oh, your steed will feed my pet basilisk.”

Dullahan- “You...”

Banshee- “Come Headless Horsemen, oh I mean Headless Knight since you’re about to lose your second horse.”

Dullahan- “!!!”

Dullahan dashed forward so fast that I could barley see him. But despite that he missed the Banshee by a hair.

Banshee- “Is that all, I expected more from one who lives off death.”

Dullahan- “You’re one to talk.”

Banshee- “At least I’m no traitor.”

They continue the fight leaving me here alone to watch this duel to the death again. Why am I so useless, I’m actually frozen in place in fear. Why?! I was okay last time. Is it because I’m truly alone this time? Is it because I lost people I cared for again?

I focused more on the battle to rid myself of these thoughts. Dullahan kept pursuing the Banshee whose long silk black hair swayed in wind along with her white robes.

*Scream*

Dullahan- “!”

Dullahan was blasted against the wall. Banshee did not even get hit once.

Banshee- “What’s wrong? I know you’re holding back. You have more to show but you won’t, why?

Banshee- “….”

Banshee- “I see, that’s why, (Giggling) funny.

Dullahan- “Now I see why I couldn't hit you, your using mind magic. The forbidden school.”

Banshee- “Not like I have a choice, I’ll do anything to protect what’s left of my family.”

Banshee- “If you know what I can then you also know it’s pointless to fight me. Accept your punishment weary knight.

Dullahan- “….”

Hashi- “STOP!”

Banshee- “What? Oh, I almost forgot about you.”

Banshee- “Don’t worry I’ll get to you after I deal with this one here.”

Banshee- “He might not have a head anymore but a whisper from me near the top of his armor should kill him in a few moments.”

Hashi- “No...”

Hashi- “Dullahan get up, why aren't you fighting back!”

Dullahan- “….”

My time slows down, the banshee inches closer towards Dullahan. Is this it? Am I going to lose everything again.

Like usual…

Why can’t I do anything.

Why are they hurting my friends?

Why does this have to happen.

I must do something!

If only-

If only-

I had the power!

I would save them!

I would kill them!

Then I have to….

Allow me to take the control.

???

I feel my self falling into darkness suddenly. What was that voice?

I feel my hair and hands change. I can feel it…

My hair goes dark and my hands are enveloped in darkness creating large claws but I can’t move my body. What’s happening to me?

Hashi?- “Banshee…”

Banshee- “I’m coming my dear.”

Hashi?- “Or should I say Sara.”

Sara- “!!”

Dullahan- “!”

Dullahan- “What-”

Sara- “-Happened? How do you know my name?! I barely sensed any magic in you before but now you feel like-”

Dullahan- “A demon.”

A demon?

I feel my body move on it’s own, I can see but can’t move. My arms rise up wide like I’m trying to hug the sky above me.

Hashi?- “Hello world, I’m finally free. Congrats Sara, you’re going to be my first meal.”
