Story Prompt: The attack was over in seconds
'If there is one thing I don't regret...it's becoming the Oracle Knight'
The attack was over in seconds… any future that they could have found together was torn to bits...and one fatal attack was all it took to wipe them out one by one... When Yuura fell, he was crossed out of the picture. When Rinon and Balgran were no longer able to move, they had been covered from the picture. As Ruby closed her eyes, she was torn from the picture. Medina finally gave into death, and got blurred from the image. Dion took his final breath, and disappeared from the picture entirely. The Oracle Maiden, Ilia was sealed away along with the Karna Masta, and all but a single feather remained of her in the picture. Soon Ark stood alone in the picture, wearing a different outfit - instead of shining silver armor, he was wearing a black cloak along with a mask that covered his face. This picture? Was their future.
Before the Battle with the Karna Masta…
"Ilia has been chosen to be the next Oracle Maiden who will assure that the god's will are carried out,"announced a priest as he gave Ilia the title of Oracle Maiden. "Who do you chose to be the Oracle Knight who will protect you from all harm, at the risk and possibly the cost of his own life?" asked the priest as Ilia looked to all the contestants as her childhood friend Medina stood in the crowd expecting for Ilia to choose her.
"I choose Ark to be the Oracle Knight," Ilia announced as Ark made his way on stage to receive the title of Oracle Knight. Medina was shocked at why Ilia had chosen someone else over her. Soon after the coronation Medina ran up to Ilia,
"Ilia! Why did you choose him?! Why is he better than me?!" accused Medina as Ark was not present
" Medina, you're still not strong enough, plus look! He can use dual wield!" smiled Ilia
"You thought he was strong because he can dual wield!? Shouted Medina as she ignored the crowd of people who were staring at her.
"Medina, please don't get mad, he has a lot of hidden power, and I can tell, he is most likely stronger than you right now, " admitted Ilia as Medina stayed quiet,
"...If you ever need anything, please ask me Ilia," assured Medina as she forced a small smile onto her face
"Don't worry, I will definitely ask for help from you!" Ilia smiled as Medina took her leave.
Soon Ilia received revelation from the God of the Gates, Lucius, that the Holy Emperor Karna Masta planed to destroy humanity. Soon Ilia and Ark found themselves journeying to the Karna Masta as they gained comrades along the way.
"BATTLE FREAK!" shouted Ruby as she glared dagger eyes at Dion,
"Ark Lover!" countered Dion. Ark felt uncomfortable every time someone brought up the fact that Ruby "loved" him.
"STALKER!" accused Ruby as she remembered that Dion had challenge Ark every time they meet which was surprisingly a lot.
"What do you mean Stalker?! YOU WERE THE ONE LITERALLY FOLLOWING HIM AROUND!" exclaimed Dion. Ark now felt really uncomfortable.
"FINE, WE'RE BOTH STALKERS!" yelled Ruby as the whole group fell silent.
"..for the record….I believe Yuura also stalked Ark and Ilia to try to assassinate them..remember?" Rinon pointed now felt VERY uncomfortable now.
"I guess we're all stalkers to an extent" laughed Yuura as Rinon and Medina glared at him.
"What do you mean " We're all stalkers?" From what I remember, I was asked to come along with Ilia DIRECTLY from Ilia. So I had consent" corrected Medina,
"I also had consent," added Rinon "But I don't know about Balgran"
"I have my reasons…" informed Balgran as they continued their adventure towards the Karna Masta.
"I didn't stalk Ark, He gave me consent to rechallenge him whenever we meet again, so I did just that," defended Dion as Ark merely sighed.
"I'm gonna die from all of this before we even get to the Karna Masta…" muttered Ark as everyone smiled one way or another.
Centuries after the battle against the Karna Masta...
...Pain,
...Suffering,
...Despair,
...Agony,
...Trauma,
...Anguish,
...Death...
' I don't deserve their friendship...after everything I put them through…they died because of me...and in the end...I ended up being the cause for more deaths…my hands are stained with the blood of many...I have betrayed humanity…and given up being human…I don't deserve their friendship...I don't deserve their smiles…Yet in the end...behind that black curtain of memory...they're smiling at me…'
Ark stood at the edge of a cliff watching the sunset as Ilia stood beside him with a smile.
"Remember what we all wished back then before everything happened?" asked Ilia as she looked at the sunset.
"No matter how many centuries past, I will never forget what we wished that day, " informed Ark with a subtle smile.
"Then let's say it to the horizon, so they can hear us wish one more time," smiled Ilia
"Alright, " replied Ark as they both looked at the sunset as both began;
"I wish that-"
'We'll all meet again someday,'
Ark and Ilia's heads snapped around in unison as their eyes widened,
"What? You finally got Ilia back, so we might as well get back together now," smiled Medina.
"The two lovebirds are back together," chirped Yuura as he draped an arm around Medina's shoulder.
"You know, I hate you Yuura" muttered Medina as Rinon snickered
"And I know you love me too, but don't worry, I love you too…princess" smirked Yuura as Medina sighed in defeat, but not before slapping Yuura in the face.
"ARKKKKK!" shouted Ruby as she was about to lunge at him to hug him when Dion stopped her.
"Calm down, he hasn't seen you in centuries, let him take it in. Also, Ark you owe me another duel," sighed Dion as Ruby glared at him
"REALLY!? You tell me to stop when you want to fight him right away?! UNFAIR!" protested Ruby.
"Life isn't fair," stated Dion. Ruby was ready to burn him as the two exchanged unfavourable words with one another…until Yuura and Medina got behind the both of them...and shoved them together forcing them into a kiss.
"!?" both of their faces turned shades of red as the broke apart without exchanging a single word to one another.
"And that is how you get the two of them to shut up" smirked Yuura as Medina had a satisfied smile on her face...until both Dion and Ruby shoved the two together to make them also kiss.
"!?" both soon broke away as Yuura had a satisfied smirk on his face while Medina sighed as she should have seen it coming. Ilia and Ark stood there in a daze until the both snapped out of it.
"WAIT WHAT!?" both shouted at the same time as the rest of the group plugged their ears.
"Calm down! We were summoned so now we're here and that's all, and yes we're still basically dead" summarised Rinon as Yuura took the opportunity to explain the rest
"Oh…to think that you guys could be summoned…" muttered Ark as Dion coughed to get everyone attention,
"Now since we're back and everything, I think we deserve a better welcoming," Dion pointed out as Ark and Ilia both smiled as they both said
" Welcome back, everyone,"
'I don't deserve their smile...their friendship…yet no matter what..they stuck through with me till the end...and that is why I don't regret becoming the Oracle Knight…'
