Me and my brother continued walking for a few minuets and over the horizon, the ocean came into view. At the same time, the bitter sent of burning fire greeted us. "(What's going on!?)" I thought to my self, a thin plume of smoke snaked upward though the clear blue sky. We soon saw the source: a roadeside village was being razed.
"Arima. We're changing our course. we have to go to that village." Says my brother "We mustn't, Brother! It's too dangerous!" " Have you forgotten, Arima? We're both still angels we must always act in the name of jusrice." "Yes but..!"
At times like these, Espiridión seemed too kind and noble to be a half demon though he did want to use more angel powers rather then demon powers. "We've no time for talk. There has to be something we can do to help." he said.
Ignoring my please, Espiridión made a beelinge for the burning village, the flames engulfing the village seemed to be leaping towards the sky. Espiridión ran heading towards it, and I dicided to follow.
The fire had left most of the village in smoldering ruin. Everywere we looked, there were bodies of fallen pokemon. "(This is just horrible...)" I thought to my self.
It was an inferno that still kept spreading, and our expressions betrayed the grimness of the situation. "(We two alone won't be able to put this fire out. It looks like this village is done for...) Brother, the fires will soon spread to where we stand. It's a real pity, but we must leace for our own safety."
But, no sooner had I told told Espiridión this, then... "H-...help..." We heard a female pokemon's voice, weakly crying out for help. We hurried off in its direction. We soon found it's source. A burning wearhouse, witch looked as if it could collapse any minute. Within it was the female pokemon, who looked to be with child, pleading for rescue.
"Stay right there! I'll help you!" my bother says and with no regard to his own safety, Espiridión was already to leap into this burning warehouse. I found myself holding him back.
"Brother, I undersand how you feel, but it's simpily too dangerous!" I call out to him "That wearhouse won't stay up mush longer! I can't allow you to place your self in harm's way!" He closed his eyes "Arima. She is with chils. There is a new life within her." He opens his eyes and with in a firm yet tender grip on my arm, Espiridión gave a gentle smile.
"If I can save her, that means there will be two survivors. They will be the future of this village. This village is in ruins, It is my duty...No,my desire, to save both."
And with that, Espiridión dashed into the burning warehouse.
"(Brother is veary kind, by itself, that wouldn't be a problem. but it means he cannot handle making braking calls, he stays true to his hart, and leads with it ) I thought to my self. The Sight of a smiling Espiridión extendinf his hand to the pregnant pokemon filled me with worrying thought, Swiftly, Espiridión carried her out. he then placed her into my arms "She seems to have hurt her ankle. Please help her walk." He says and I nod my head " Yes, I will. " I didn't have Espiridión's streangth since I was pregnant my self, I had to set the female pokemon down once, then offer my shoulder to lean on.
It was only instant that I took my eyes off of Espiridión, in search of a safer place "Burn it all down! More flaming arrows! Kill anyone that fights back!" said an unknown voice "Could that be the one who started the fire?" Said my brother then I looked at him "Brother, we must flee!" I call out.
Though the haze of fire, we could see the faint outlines of the enemy. A volley of flaming arrows came from their direction. "Arima! hurry take her to safety!" Espiridión calls out"*Gasp* Ahh...!" the female pokemon wippers an. d he went to the direction. "Brother!"
As I leave one of the arrows struck the flaming warehouse, engulfing our surriundings in a sea of fire, the female pokemon whome I was surpporting let off a pircing scream. Hurriedly, I tuned to look.
*CRASH!* The wearhouse, still inflames, came crashing down furiously, my screams were drowned out by the roar of collapsing rubble, and a cold sweat trickled down my spine. "(Brother, he's still inside!) I thought to my self and though the flames, I saw Espiridión. he was laying on his back and blood leaked out of his mouth, one of the massive warehouse beams had fallen on top of him ,and he couldn't move "Brother, I'll be right there to help you!" I call out to him.
After finding a safe hiding place for the female pokemon, I ran though the sparks and the smoke for the wearhouse ruins. Just as I was ready to leap in the bellowing flames, brother slowly smiled as he coughed up blood.
"Arima. I won't let you come any closer..." after he said that I froze where I was "What?" he coughs up more before he replies "My body...It won't move. Besides, it's olnly a matter of time before the fire will swallow this wear house, too."
"That won't matter, so as long as you stay alive! I, I can move those beams..." I said "You're very skilled Arima. But you could never remove these beams cuse you're preagnant...We both know that, do we not?" he says in reply "Ngh..." The beams whitch were crushing Espiridión's chest couldn't be lifted, not with my streangth I have now. I didn't want to admit it but it was true, those beams were engulfed in fames, taking Espiridión with them.
"Arima...As your brother I have three tasks for you." he says as he holds out his hand and it glows , he was using the last of his energy to create something "B-Brother...!?" I l looked shocked "First... Make sure that female pokemon gets to safety..." his hand glows brighter with the remaining energy and aura he had left "Second...tell mum and dad that I'm sorry...and Third..." He coughs up more blood as a black crystal necklace starts to form "Take what's left of my soul with you...Arima...The future of this village and my soul..Both I leave to you..." he gasps for air "Brother!" I cried out "I leave these tasks to you, Arima, So there may be sorrow..., no more, for anyone..." he took his last breath and the crystal glows brighter and lifted up and floated to me and a bright light flashed as it turned into a necklace.
And with that, a columan of flame erased Espiridión from my view, I held the black crystal in the palm of my hand and tears fall from my cheeks "N-no...I can't believe this, I won't..." I to my self out loud and looked up again where once stood a wearhouse, now remained only roaring crimson flames, It was at that moment I knew. Knew that I had lost the most important person in my life, the one who had always been there for me.
We were twins, after all. We had an unspoaken, unbrakable bond...One that vanished in that moment, After making sure the woman found a save haven, I walked around whar was left of the village. Espiridión's last words were always on my mind, it seemed there were no other survivors, as soon as I returned to the smoldering warehouse ruins, I clenched the black crystal he gave me and an inexpressible feeling of loos swept over me.
"(Brother can't be dead. I won't belive it. He was always so kind, Too kind, even. Trying to save everyone, and paying the price for it. He's always been like that.) I thought to my self as I gazed upon the still-roaring flames, I was transfixed. I couldn't move, couldn't leave this wearhouse. "(I can do no more for this village. I have to leave too.)"
It was then I heard uproarious laughter shatter the silence.
There was A girl walking though the flames. With perverted glee, she kicked any bodies she came aross, living or dead she with a read fringe, purple hair , one ear blue, one ear red, one eye pure white , one eye that looked like an exe and she wore a darkblue and light blue stripped t-shirt and dark blue shorts.
"Hahahaha! This is for you my senpai! Burn it all, down to the ground!" she joyfully barked orders to her clones, then cackled with a sinister glee "This was all for you senpai I brought doom to this village! hehehe all of you villigers can beg all you want, I'll still leave your homes in ashes!"
"(This girl...She's the one who set this village on fire!)" No sooner had that thought passed though my head, then I felt my breath catch in my thoram and blood rush to my head, I realied my trusty dagger "(My brother's dreath must be avenged! No matter how meany clones she has. I'm half demon half angel. It would be easy to decapitate that girl, I don't care whether I live or die, so as long as I can take her down!) " I thought to my self I was so filled with rage that I forgot that I was pregnant.
"All right, that oughta do it, back to home we go. Word'll get out about what happened here soon enough."
With that, she turned her back and began to walk away. It was the perfect opporunity...Or, so I thought. Steeling my grip on my dagger, I took my step though the flames.
In a blink of an eye, that girl was sorrounded by colones. It seemed that these fierce, seasoned clones had sensed my preasence. "What is it? Is some headstrong fool looliking for blood?" the sneering girl spat out, while her clones narrowed their eyes to try and spot me, Thankfully, the walls of flame acted as a veil and hid my position. It was soon obvious that they werent going to make the first move.
The girl seemed secure in her own turned to talk away, guffaling all the while. "(I shouldn't let her get away . But I cant take on that meany enemies by myself...Espeshily if I'm preagnant)" In the time I waisted hesitating, fire had engulfed everything around me. The girl's disgusting laughter soon faded away. "(I was my Brother's Keeper. I asked for this responsibility myself. And still, I couldn't save him...)" My sorrow was replaced by regret, and it was then I remembered what Espiridión would would aways say.
"We're both still angels we must always act in the name of jusrice." I then think in my head "(I have to do something, or else my brother's sacrifice will all be for nothing. I can't allow that to happen. But what's the right thing to do?) The flames burned even higher, tainging the sky in a crimson hue, Everything was awash in red. And it was then that I made my choice. "(I have to act in my brother's place, and make a name for myself as part of the protecters like my mother, then, I can resore this villege. And someday I will avenge my brother. I'll never forget what that girl looked like. I will take her life with my own hands, for my brother, but there is something I must do first...)"
I place my hand on the black crystal "Brother...I'll make sure your sacrifice was not in vain.." I say out loud and With that,I fused my soul to it so my life was connected to it "(From now on, I won't be mortal anymore. As of today...I'm going to be immortal so nothing can kill me)" I turn my back to the burning flames whitch surrounded me. in silence.
I had to go back home, to tell my mother, father and my boyfriend what happened. And so I began walking though the flames. I had to do it, no matter how hard it may prove to be...
