I could hear faint voices, but I wasn't listening. I looked at Lyria, she seemed to be doing alright... I smiled, not knowing why... I wasn't happy about that. An unknown voice spoke to my face, I wasn't listening... I felt a hand on my arm and looked at the direction it came from... Vade. He was looking at me, eyes filled with concern... I glared and burnt his hand off as he retreated, wincing. The guy in front of me spoke again, requesting my name.
"Deadra." I answered dryly. I saw him walk away to talk to Eve, who was in a similar mood as mine.
Vade then attempted to talk to me. "What's wrong?"
I smirked... "I think... I'm angry." I said. "Awol... he died trying to protect Stuzzie and now Stuzzie's dead as well. Does that mean it was meaningless? Because if it does... it's not fair." I paused as I felt a strong wave of mixed emotions take over my body. My fists were tightening and my teeth clenched. "Lyria." The mention of the name made me lose control and I drew my sword as I started walking with an intent to kill her.
Vade's eyes widened and he grabbed my arm to hold me back.
"Let go." I said firmly.
"No."
"I said let me go."
"You're not yourself." He said with pleading eyes.
I closed my eyes and I did what I never thought I'd do... my hand moved involuntarily while my sword slashed across his chest, making a superficial wound but enough to make him fall over with a grunt. I turned my head back to Lyria.
"What the hell are you doing!?" I heard Eve scream.
"Getting payback." I said, not looking at her and continuing my walk toward Lyria.
She was looking at me knowingly with a smug look. I felt an inner rage like never before, not even when Clio was killed. Or maybe... I was getting used to being a murderer. Either way, I didn't care at that moment, I wanted to kill this woman with all my heart and soul... and I wasn't gonna let anyone stand in my way.
Hazard stood aside, wanting to know what would happen while Eve, kept shouting my name. I drowned her voice out as I saw Ved walk in front of me and Lyria.
"I have no choice." He extended his hands and shot an ice beam that just evaporated as I reacted with a heat shield.
He increased his strength and so did I as I kept walking forward, the ice beam barely slowing me down. Adrenaline was taking over me at this point... I sprinted up to him as my wings caught on fire and tried to knee him in the stomach. His reflexes were quick, but not quick enough as I spun around and kicked him in the face, sending him flying backwards a few feet away.
"Now it's just you and me." I said to Lyria, smirking sadistically.
"Really?" She asked, smiling as her eyes started glowing a bright blue.
I ran up to her, hopped and tried a vertical slash from the air. Something stopped me in mid air as an image of a woman started fading in. As she appeared, I could see her blue, scaly skin glowing in the sun and her eyes piercing right into mine. My sword was digging right into her forearms as drops of red blood spilled into the ground. The woman who wore no obvious clothing smirked at me as her arms separated, sending me spinning into the air. I stabilized myself with my wings and then flew back toward the ground, landing right next to the entity and then striking once again
I could see Lyria move along with the unknown female figure, perfectly synchronized and their blue eyes glowing just as bright. I tried a horizontal slash and missed, so she took this as the perfect time to strike as she kicked me in the stomach and I was sent back again, this time, crashing against a wall.
"Give up." I could hear their dual voices speaking.
A tear ran down my cheek from the pain, but I stood quiet and smiled as I launched myself at her again.
...I hadn't realized my feet had been touching the floor the whole time as I felt a strong current rise up my body and I stopped. Darkness came upon me as I saw my sword drop from my hand and a weakened Vade with his palm on the floor.
