CHAPTER 7 : Other self (?)
After having emptied her head, she goes back to the prison and the first person she sees is Desco, in great shape.
Her little sister welcomes her with open arms "Hi Big Sis !".
"Heyyy, did you sleep well?" says Fuka with a smile.
The petite demon sits on her tail with enthusiasm "Yes ! but Desco is so hungry, but by the way why were you up so early?" Desco asked.
Fuka thought for a moment about what had happened a few hours ago, and immediately regretted it. She answered a little quickly to her sister, wanting to forget this annoying moment "I couldn't get back to sleep so I went outside. I'm hungry too! Let's go eat breakfast."
"Yes!" replied his sister, with joy.
Then they went into the kitchen to eat their breakfast quietly.
When they finish their breakfast, Fuka stayed with Desco. They go to the toxic zone, in the hope of finding opponents. After walking some time, they find not far from their position, a group of demon. There were 8 of them and they still hadn't seen them.
Fuka declared "We do 4 each!" and put her cap back on correctly.
Desco nodded "OK !".
Fuka moves away from the purple demon to approach very slowly, without making noise of the group of the demons, unawre of the threat which advances towards them.
3...2...1...Here we go!
Arrived close to them, she hits the head of a demon from behind and makes him fly in the air. The demons who had seen the scene jumped up and got into position. A purple tentacle struck two demons that crashed against rocks.
Desco enters the fight, coming down from the sky with his kind of tentacle monster.
"Feel my anger, wretches!" says Desco, in a voice trying to be intimidating.
Meanwhile, Fuka was fighting against two demons, a male Warrior and a ninja.
The ninja struck her with his sword. She blocked his blow with her bat. While the warrior rushed at her to finish him off. She managed to dodge. She took a bomb out of nowhere and threw it in the air and hit it in the direction of the two demons, who exploded it in her face. Fuka smiles lightly.
"Haha! Do you think you have a chance against me? I don't think not," she says, throwing her quilts back.
She turned her head towards Desco, who had already finished with his opponents and smiled at her with all his teeth. You could see the four demons at her feet, unconscious.
Wait what ? Four ?
She looked at the demons she had beaten. She saw only three of them. She was sure there were four before. By the time she realized, it was already too late.
"Big Sis, behind you!" Desco warned her.
Fuka turned around to see a dragon just behind her, about to throw a fist at her. He is a few centimeters away from her and is approaching dangerously. Time seems to have slowed down. She closed her eyes, ready to feel the pain that was about to come.
*CRUNCH*
Eh?
... What was that noise?
It's been a good few seconds, she still felt no pain. She opened her eyes very slowly. She didn't expect to see such a sight.
The demon, who was about to finish with her, is on the ground, burning and screaming in agony. She backed away out of fear and also as a precaution. He was rolling on the ground hoping to extinguish the flames, wishing at all costs for the burning pain to stop. Little by little, the flames dissipated and the demon stopped rolling on the ground.
Fuka remained frozen in the front of this disturbing spectacle she witnessed.
Desco rushed towards her, "Big Sis, are you all right?"
Always a little shocked by the scene which had just taken place under her eyes, she took a little time to answer.
"Yes, I'm fine. What just happened is completely crazy!" Fuka says.
"Desco saw that! What did just happened?"
She looks at the body, it was still moving but with great difficulty. The demon was breathing noisily, trying very hard to recover from his burns.
But she felt as if she had seen its flames somewhere.
Who could have done that? Fuka wondered and then she looked around her, all eight demons were out, only her little sister and she were still standing. Desco checked the surroundings to see if there was a third person, but she saw no one else.
Suddenly Fuka had a headache. She touched her forehead and felt an intense heat, as if her head had gone boiling.
Ignore the pain, act as if nothing had happened. Fuka repeated in her head.
She tries to ignore it, so as not to worry her little sister. She's already put up with worse than this, it's not a headache that he's going to stop her!
Desco says "We are the only ones here, Desco does not see anybody else !"
"In any case, who cares ! Come on Desco, let's get out of here !" answered Fuka, a little precipitated, with her hand on her hot forehead.
Desco says "Okay, Big Sis!"
- Back to Hades
Desco returned to his intensive training. Fuka decided to go somewhere on her own. Anyway, they will see each other again after .
She went to a isolated place in Hades, secluded enough to be quiet. She sat on the floor, elbows on her knees and hands on her forehead. Since she came out of the forest with Desco, her headache has gotten worse.
I could go to the infirmary but I might see Artina, I wouldn't know how to face her.
She closed her eyes, hoping the pain would go away.
She opened her eyes again.
Hades, in which she was a few moments ago, has been replaced by only darkness.
The girl looked all around her. It was pitch black.
She walked straight ahead, without knowing where she was going. She continued walking for several minutes that seemed like hours to her before she saw, a light so familiar to her.
She came closer.
This light! I remember, it is the light of the vision of the last time!
Fuka came closer so that she could see her better. Gradually, she could see a young girl from behind. She was shining in a bright orange color. She had long hair that reached to her knees. At her wrists and ankles, she could see broken chains, but the most surprising thing was her red-orange wings butterfly-like.
She stopped a few meters away, before saying to him
"Hey you there, who are you exactly?" asked Fuka in an accusing tone.
She doesn't understand what's happened and she wants an explanation. She didn't know if the stranger was going to give her an answer but she was convinced that she would.
But the only response she received was a long silence.
"Are you deaf or what? I asked you a question! Answer me!" Fuka demanded.
Still no answer.
The brunette didn't know what to do. Since asking questions didn't work, she decided to do it the hard way. She was about to get closer. When she saw the mysterious girl moving, or rather turning around, their eyes met.
Fuka was speechless. She understood the situation even less than before.
In front of her was none than other herself, or rather her look-alike. She was 100% sure of it.
Not a single word was said, only silence could be heard.
Fuka heard a voice calling from afar, but she could only make out a distant echo. Then a second time, she could distinguish her first name louder, then a third time, she could clearly distinguish her first name.
"Fuka!" said Emizel, shaking her.
Fuka raised her head a little abruptly, surprised to be interrupted in her thoughts if you could call it that.
From the look on Emizel's face, he must have been there for a while.
"Hey, are you alright? I've been calling you for at least ten minutes, but you didn't answer. Seriously, what are you doing here, lying on the floor?" Emizel asked.
She slowly gets up off the floor, takes her temperature. Her forehead was less hot than before and the pain was less intense, but she was mostly tired for some reason.
"I felt a little dizzy so I sat here for a few moments."
"Are you sure it was just a dizziness? You really didn't look well. If you weren't feeling well, why didn't you go to the infirmary? I'm sure Artina would have treated you."
"It is useless. It was just temporary, I think I'll go to my room and rest. If you see Desco, will you tell her I went back to my room because I had a headache, please?"
Emizel remained sceptical of her excuse, but asked no more. "If you want."
"Thank you, Emizel," said Fuka as she left.
After she leaves, Emizel reflects. Why didn't she go to the infirmary if she was in pain? Man, I can't really understand what she is thinking sometimes !
Fuka walked slowly to the prison. Her legs were heavy. She kept her hand on her burning forehead to see if her temperature changed. She was looking down, she didn't want others to see her like that.
She heard voices in the distance. As a reflex, she hides in a corner.
"Finally finished dood!"
"I thought it was never going to end dood! Now we can have our sardine!" added the other Prinny.
Ah yes, that's when they get their sardine... Which means he's here, and she's probably with him too...
She had to get back to her room quickly. She didn't want to see him or her friend, she really didn't want see them. With light footsteps, Fuka leaves in direction of her room.
She arrives at the corridor that leads to her room. When she sees her room, she checks that nobody is in the area.
The way is clear!
She was about to go back to her room. When she heard the voice of one of the people she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Fuka? said a female voice.
She heard heel sounds coming closer to her position .
Decidedly, I have a gift for attracting people I don't want to see.
She turned around.
She saw Artina right in front of her.
What a surprise.
"Uh, hi... "said Fuka, reluctant to have a conversation with her angel friend.
Artina asked her, "Why are you alone? Isn't Desco with you?"
"Desco has gone to train and I'm going to my room because... I forgot something! And what about you?" Fuka replied in the hope of finishing this conversation as soon as possible.
"I was going to join because the infirmary didn't need any help today."
Fuka looked at Artina and her eyes fell on her neck, adorned with a blue necklace with a pink flower. She thought back to that morning.
"I really have to get back to my room so I'll leave you alone ! Bye !"
"Wai-" Fuka stormed back to her room,that Artina couldn't finish her sentence.
I wonder what's happening to her. the pink angel thought.
Arriving at her room, she enters hastily and closes the door behind.
She jumped into bed. With the adrenaline she has had for today, she is even more tired and her fever has increased. She didn't bother to change her clothes as sleep took hold of her...
- 1h later
She woke up with difficulty. Her head freed from her awful headache. She stood up to stretch . She noticed something on her bed.
Where she had been sleeping, she could see 3 pieces of stones . With their crystallized appearance, they look like gems.
She takes one in her hand.
What a beautiful color she thought, looking at the orange stone from all angles. If it were to give an exact color, it would be a burning orange.
The stone starts to light up. Images scroll by at full speed.
A burning forest, her mother angry, her father anxious ...
Scared, she threw by reflex, the stone on the bed. It was too much information, she couldn't take it all.
Someone knocked on her door, she quickly put the gemstones in her pockets. Desco enters the room. "Hey Big Sis !"
Not expecting to see her, "Desco!? What are you doing here? Aren't you practicing?"
"Desco finished her training early today! So Desco can stay longer with Big Sis!" said Desco, happy.
"Oh, that's cool... Let's go outside." Said Fuka on the way out, in a little hurry.
"Yeah !" Desco followed her.
