"Dum dum, dum..." Lisa's eyes were closed, as her smile was large.
The woman passed in between two trees, as she dived into the darkness. "Tiny" was walking in front of her.
"… you know, Tiny, I haven't told you this before, but… walking around with you isn't the maximum of pleasure." Her eyebrows went up, as her eyes opened and her mouth downturned. "I know you have all that image reputation to keep… but you are not even panting when you are sweating?"
Her head rose a bit, as her left hand grabbed her closed fan, grasping it. The woman shivered a bit, while stepping on the grass. The man kept walking forward…
"Sheesh… … well, at least I can say anything to you and not fearing for the consequences!" She grinned a bit. "Like, how I think that the sweeter waters are sooo cool!"
The man stopped. Lisa's feet glued on the grass, as her face went paler and several sweat drop appeared behind her neck.
"… I-I was kidding, I was kidding!" Her tentacles went zig-zag. "I-I-I hate the sweeter waters with a passion! In fact, I-I felt like being an idiot and talk at pure random!"
Sweat jumped out from her head, as the man was standing still for 5 seconds… he resumed his walk. Lisa sighed loudly, as her left hand went on her chest.
"… yo-you scared me for a second, there!" She resumed her walk. "I didn't thought you would mind certain opin-phrases!" Her smiling mouth waved, as her irises shrunk. "Anyway! Shouldn't I be the one who leads the way? I'm the one who came up with this brilliant plan, after all!"
The man stopped. The woman jumped, as she began trembling. "Tiny" turned behind… walking past Lisa and stopping behind her.
"… ok, I eat it back: you are scarier than Sukarījī!" The woman swallowed silently. "I-I don't even remember your habit to stop like this!"
Her head lowered.
"You… you are not suspecting on me, right?" Her face darkened.
The man's arms folded. Lisa's head shook slowly.
"I told you before, Tiny… we couldn't stay near Mirii. We would trigger bad consequences, if we did… m-my pond said it clearly!" She turned behind, with her arms wide open. "There wasn't anything we could do about it…! We just need to be patient and slowly walk our way towards the Masters. Mirii should had done"
Suddenly, "Tiny"'s arms unfolded… as his left hand took off his katana. Lisa's tentacles stretched horizontally, as she gasped loudly.
SWUM!
SCHA-CHING!
Lisa's arms covered her face.
"… finally…"
Her arms went down, as the woman twisted behind: "Tiny" was trying to push his katana downwards, with both his hands, towards a lizard-like creature. The creature's eyes were yellow, his irises slim, his scales were as dark as the shadows. His pointy hands were holding the weapon's blade.
Lisa's eyes expanded, as her mouth opened wide. The man's arms were trembling.
"… after all those years…" The deep voice came from the monster, with the mouth sealed. "… I have enough power to satisfy my thirst of revenge…"
"No… it-it can't be…!" Lisa's head shook, as she took some steps backwards.
The lizard's eyes began flashing. A rock surface began forming on the man's head, continuing to spread throughout his body and weapon.
"NOOO!" The woman turned behind, as she began running.
Vuuumm!
A dark-purple smoke came in front of the woman, as the animal appeared in front of her path. Lisa stopped, as she screamed loudly. She began trembling, as her arms were hugging her chest.
"… this forest… is my home…" His arms opened, raising a bit. "No one can escape my home… not even with the powers of transportation…"
The woman began breathing rapidly, as her eyes went watery.
"Your dear Masters… that pathetic mortal… and everyone else you know… they cannot help you… no one will help you, this time…" He took a step forward, as his tail began waving a bit.
Lisa was stumbling, as her face went paler. She took one step backwards.
"… I would had been more powerful… if it wasn't for you…" He took more steps forward.
"I told you it wasn't my fault!" Lisa frowned a lot, as her teeth gritted, while walking backwards. "I-I still don't understand… my pond was supposed to be powerful enough to track you down!"
"I manipulated the pond…" The monster grinned.
Lisa's eyes almost popped out.
"It was the only way to lure you in here… and trap all your allies…" His fingers were moving back and forth. "Without any defense… my long-waited wish will become a reality."
A tear fell from Lisa's right eye.
"Now… quench my thirst…" His eyes began flashing.
Lisa's opened fan went in front of her face. Tears were coming down from her eyes.
"… on second thought… my hunger is bigger than my thirst… act like a prey and RUN!" His mouth opened wide, as he jumped towards the woman.
Lisa turned behind, sprinting forward and passing "Tiny". She kept screaming, while the monster was dashing on all fours.
"Run like the useless being you are!" He roared. "Your fear… is making my revenge even tastier than before!"
Lisa's eyes squeezed, as her fists clenched.
"Why he keeps coming back…?" Her head shook. "Wh-why doesn't he leave me alone?! I have done nothing! Nothing!"
I have done nothing… … I was just a mere apprentice at the time… I wasn't even aware of that particular curse!
The creature jumped forward, with his jaw wide open. Lisa twisted behind, swinging her fan with her eyes closed.
PAF!
The monster stopped, as she returned forward and continued her sprint.
I know it sounds so childish, but… ooooh, how I wish he would come in here! My sensei… my hero! I-I will never forget what he did that day… the only part of that scary day who pushes me away from it…!
It's all starting to come back to me… Will…
