2023-02-03 19:21:49So there they stood, before hungry undying beasts, ready to engage and enter the fray. Then Mina asked "What exactly is the plan?" and there was a momentary pause
"We...don't exactly have a plan" Susan answered
"The divinity of these creatures wasn't something I was aware of until today"
"If it is true that they are immortal, we could only take on a handful of them, but these guys are too much in number for us to handle"
"I suggest we run"
"That won't be necessary" Yen said out loud
"I already know what we should do" he said
"What is it?" everyone asked
"Well, it's quite simple" Yen answered
"We will keep the beasts busy, while our dear Susan figures out a way to capture them"
"But that would take a long time" Susan said, and Yen turned back and looked her in the eye then said "YOU HAVE TIME" before running off into midst of the beasts.
"I have time" Susan muttered repeatedly
"I have time..."
"I have time..."
"I have time..."
"I have......"
Then the realization suddenly struck her.
"Lee" she called out, and Lee answered
"Activate my limiter" she said, then Lee brought out a small round device that was the size of his thumb and pressed it on her neck. After that, Susan slowly took a deep breath and vanished out of sight.
"I better get busy too" Lee said to himself as he summoned two steel swords into his hands and followed Yen's path. The others followed him while Mina stood back to observe.
The immortality of the beasts was quite different from normal. They could be killed but after some time, they would reappear with full strength. When wounded, the damaged area doesn't bleed but instead releases pure energy in a vapour-like form. The interval between the death and return of the beasts varied but since the beasts always came back, killing them was a waste of energy.
As the battle continued Mina made a few observations. The first observation was that none of the beasts had attacked her. She didn't jump in to fight but she was in the battlefield so it would make more sense for a few to have come after her (not that she wanted them to) but not one came. She deduced that it was a matter of energy level after observing that most of them ran at Yen while the least of them ran towards Rosewell and Fubuki who had the least energy level among the men.
Her second observation was most of the beasts were wolves. This information didn't have much effect on the flow of the battle but it was surprising how they numerically dominated field.
Another of her observation was that the beasts which they had made a pact with showed eagerness to fight but couldn't move. She could clearly understand the look in their eyes and their growls were loud and clear, but their contractors gave them no instructions so they just stood and watched.
As the battle progressed, Mina noticed something. Despite Yen being the one that was attacked the most, he was the only one that was yet to kill any of the beasts. but was not the part that caught Mina's attention. After a long while of looking in Yen's direction, Mina noticed a dark aura escaping into the atmosphere and then a few of the beasts came to her but with no hostility.
As Mina sat among the beasts, petting and feeling the softness of their fur, Susan appeared in front of her saying "I've found a way"
"What?" Mina replied
"I've found a way to solve our beast problem"
"Oh, so what is it?"
"It's quite simple you se...."
"Stop telling me how simple it is. Tell what it is first!!"
"Oh..ok. it's different dimension"
"What do you mean?"
"I managed to create two different dimensions. One has a high similarity to the divine realm so only the pure beasts can get into it. The other one is just like the world we are in so it can contain the corrupted beasts and many more.
Mina was shocked, dumbfounded, and had a very hard time processing what she had just heard.
"What?!!" she exclaimed
"What the f**k"
"Let me get this straight. You didn't travel to two different dimensions, you CREATED them...."
"... created them"
"What are you? Some kind of god"
Susan simply answered "No, I'm not a god" and ran into the battle. As soon as she entered, the number of beasts reduced drastically and soon there was none left to fight.
Only the pure divine beasts remained and all that was left was to bring them back home, but they didn't even cover a noticable distance when a thundering voice said "stop" and everyone immediately halted their movement.
"Is it just me or did that voice come from the cloud above us" Mina whispered and everyone looked up to see the cloud. As soon as they all laid eyes on the cloud, it cracked open and a blinding light came from within it.
Everyone one that saw the light fell and lost consciousness. Every human, every animal, every insect. All that saw the light fell asleep, all except Yen and Mina.
Mina would probably have been able to guess what was going but Yen immediately knew.
"Please father" he said
"Please"
"I know you are here to call me back"
"But please, I want to stay here a little longer"
"And what reason do you have to stay? The voice asked, and Yen immediately looked at Mina and and answered "she is the reason"
There was silence and the voice didn't reply for a while. Then it came and asked to Mina "young lady, do you reciprocate my son's love for you?"
Mina immediately answered "yes"
"Then prove it"
"What?"
"Swear your life to him right now"
"Are you asking me to marry him"
"Duhh"
And that was how Mina and Yen got married. They told the others what happened on their way home and no one could stop laughing.
Yen's father didn't come to take him home but he came with a very important message. Yen had only twenty-five years left on earth, and after that he will be undoubtedly be given a seat in the midst of his ancestors (a cool way of saying that he would die). But if there was anyone that could make the most out of a short life, it was Yen the son of grace.

Burn out
As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a
Keeping cool
"Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept. The "silent night
I am here
"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but
Still standing
Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t
The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
