Meena, taking her invisible form ran through the forest, her consciousness shaky at times. Constantly seeing broken bones around, she hurried, reminding herself that could be her fate if she didn't proceed fast. She looked behind, the tree monster was still in battle with her friends while David was in the air. She saw from a distance how a giant bird made of trees swooped in to attack David and wanted to yell, she wanted to scream, shout and warn him but she couldn't. She also had other things to worry about like the deadly plants around her. Barely a few minutes later, she stopped before a large tree. One that stood with poise and Elegance, radiating an aura that seemed to spell its greatness. She looked at the branches and leaves, awed by the beautiful linings on them. She took a deep breath and intended to run up the tree, grabbing a branch or two at once. "Your disguise shall not fool me child." A voice spoke, causing her to stop her sprint. She looked up, sure the voice was

"You son of a bitch." David screamed, balancing himself. He looked around him, sick to the stomach. He turned in the direction of Orebon once more and the latter laughed, angering him. He squeezed his fists tightly and frowned, grinding his teeth hard against one another. He was angry, he was going to kill him. However, he stopped, coming back to his senses. His friends still laid on the floor, dead and scattered like insects. He swallowed his anger and shut his eyes. The interface appeared before him and he chose the time travel ability, feeling himself immerse with time. He looked around him, the void and space surrounding him lined with Neon light and patterns. He felt himself stop and looked around, finding himself among them, minutes ago. His eyes darted towards the sky and he saw it, the giant Falcon. Not taking a second more, he rose in the air, colliding against it, causing a shock wave that scattered trees, the building and his friends around. Luckily for him this time, th

FLASHBACK TO THE PREVIOUS NIGHT."There's something I have to say, it's about the Dark One." Colleen spoke. "The Dark One? What about him?" He asked, puzzled. "We can't beat him, he's too powerful, this is probably what he wants, all of us giving everything we can until we die like pathetic little pigs." She replied. "Colleen. I get it, you and him have history together that you don't want to share, but have faith for once. We got his century old desire in three days of searching and we just survived his second in command. Maybe you should have a bit of faith." David spoke, holding her shoulders softly. "It's not that." She spoke, brushing his arms off hers. "Then what is it?" He asked. "Conrad. His name is Conrad, and he is my brother!" She dropped the bomb shell. He paused, shocked. Surprised even. "You're saying you two are flesh and blood or related by name?" He asked. "We're siblings." She responded. "Wow, how the fuck did I not see this coming? Our first argument, where

"I can not betray him." He replied. She scoffed, turning away from him. She unsheathed her sword and rubbed her fingers down the side. She looked back at him, giving a mischievous smile. "I thought you were willing to deal." She spoke. "Yes, I'm willing to make a deal with you, but I'll not betray him." He replied. She chuckled and placed the sword on the floor. "You know, back in Noctura, my hometown. I was meant to be the priest. I was the finest of all youth. Trained in battle and spiritual knowledge, of course I'm meant to be at the top. But here's a secret even my parents and the town leadership Council don't understand." She stopped, nearing him, her face right opposite of him. "I was trained in everything, including torture and how to kill anyone or anything. So, would you like to test my torture skills, or you would want shit the easy way?" She whispered towards him. His eyes widened. She had an entirely different countenance now, like a new, devious personality had wash

"Come on, you weaklings." Ares beckoned them, drawing his sword once more."If you won't bring the fight to me. Fine, I will bring it to you." He added, and charged towards them. Colleen equally charged at him, preparing to slam her blade against him. He quickly spread his palm and short, sharp spikes of dark energy emerged, which caused her to pause, using the Kusarigama's blade to cut them off. Dana overlapped her, slamming her katana onto his skull. It bounced off and she quickly made another sharp hit to the neck, causing his skin to hiss loudly. "He seems to be taking the hits pretty well on the neck." She yelled. Eden nodded, jumping from behind to strike his Sabre in the god's neck. To his surprise, Ares caught the blade, grabbing it from him and slammed it into the floor. "Do not put your eggs in a basket." Ares mocked and pounced forward. They all rolled away, spreading out well enough to flank him, a move they had now gotten accustomed to. Colleen made the first attack, s
