Here's our next victim...
Entry 23: I'm sorry
Asuna walked through the streets quietly. She didn't want to hunt Witches anymore. She had enough of her life and everything.
She looked at her Soul Gem, the only thing which bound her to this life. Once she shatters it, there won't be any pain anymore, right?
She hoped so.
Asuna passed by an old, abanoded church. She deceided to go in. It was very old, and there were holes in the roof. Trash, dust and few stones were around. In front of her was a beautiful picture of an angel.
Asuna brought the desicion.
She picked up a stone and brought out her Soul Gem. She looked at the teardrop mark on the top for one last time. Her once golden SG was completely black.
Tears runned down her face as she suddenly remembered her sister, the person she fought for.
"I'm sorry... Sachi."
The sound of glass shattering echoed through the church.
"I'm worried about Asuna-chan." said Miku.
"Me too. We should search for her." I replied. I saw that her SG was completely black and that she might turn into a Witch if she dosen't clean it in time.
'Yukio, we'll need your help.' I called Yukio mentaly. There was no response, yet I knew he'd come to my aid. He appeared a few seconds leater, together with Yuri.
"I met her on my way here." he explained.
"Yuri, are you alright?" I asked. Yuri nodded, with a blank expression on her face.
"What happened?" Yukio asked.
"Asuna-chan is on her limit. We need to find her before it's too late." said Miku. Yuri rose her head.
"I saw her on the way to the old church. She seemed to be pretty upset." she said.
"Then let's hurry up!" I said as we runned to the church.
As we arrived, Yukio stopped.
"Yukio, what is it?" I asked.
"This ground is blessed. I can't enter it." Yukio said, and then cursed under his breath.
"Then we'll take care of whatever happens in there." said Yuri. We then entered the church and startled.
In front of us was the body of Asuna, who held a stone in her hand. She lied on the floor, with parts of her Soul Gem being around her.
"She killed herself." Yuri whispered. Miku started to cry.
Suddenly, we got engulfed by a barrier.
We looked around. The Barrier was filled with dark shadows with a white background. The backround was made of Christian crosses the terrain formed a large arm holding either a torch or a monstrance. We saw the Witch praying before this object. She was completely black and her hair had a branch like design.
"There was a Grief Seed inside the church." said Yuri.
"Just great. I and Miku came a few minutes ago back from the fight with Patricia and now we have to fight...uh? Summon Analyzer." I quickly transformed and looked at the digital screen in front of me.
'Elsa Maria. The witch of shadow with a self-righteous nature. She continually prays for all of creation and drags all life equally into her shadow without breaking her posture. One hoping to defeat her must know the blackest anguish.'
Yuri and Miku transformed too.
"We'll beat her and then go home. We still need to tell Asuna's Family that their daughter is dead." said Yuri. "We owe her that."
I and Miku nodded.
"For Asuna!" We exclaimed in unsion. I looked at the Witch, above whom the words: "I wish you, although not seen from me, to be happy." were written.
I rushed over to Elsa Maria but suddenly, dark fanged snake-like shadows sprout out of her back, fighting back. I withdrawed.
"Summon Analyzer!"
'Sebastians. The shadow witch's minions, whose duty is to blindly believe. They are an aggregate of the lives who have found salvation thanks to the shadow witch. They continually seek out companions.'
I cut the Familiars apart, but new ones appeared.
"Kaen get outta way!" I heared Yuri yelling and withdrawed. Hundreds of sais pierced into Elsa Maria's back.
Miku then drawed an arrow.
"GO!" She yelled and the arrow pierced through Elsa Maria's body. I gave her the finnal strike, cutting her head of her body.
Suddenly the stained glass collapsed and dropped into the air. There was a 'baaaaaaahn' sound like from a pipe organ to hear.
Miku quietly picked up the GS, which top emblem was a crown, while the bottom was completely blank. Yuri picked up Asuna's body.
We exited the church and Yukio apporached us.
"Asuna's dead. She commited suicide." said Yuri in a cold, montone voice. Then, we all, except Yukio, started to cry.
And the rain countined to fall...
