Chapter 19: Restoration by War p.2
Note: This will be in Raymond's perspective. But it will be revealed that this is a first-person perspective in another new character, Trastion.
Raymond finally procured the antidote for the poison Rudolph attracted to. With a mixture of both Raymond and Felicia's blood, he could counter any poison he could come across.
"This should do." Raymond said. He then leaves the room and tried to find Rudolph, but he is nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Where is he?" Raymond asked to himself. Suddenly, an idea just clicked inside Raymond.
"Wait. If he is indeed gone..then I might be able to get myself out of this place. I could find Draugit and stop Clarissa from being under Felicia's spell. I do not need to stay in this dump anymore!" he thought with some politeness and grace, which is rather strange.
But behind him is a shadow that oversees his entire movements and Raymond is able to sense it instantly..
"Aww. Seriously? You should try to be more sensitive about my privacy, Felicia. You're ruining the mood." Raymond said, ignoring manners once again. The shadow reveals itself to be Felicia indeed. She looks at Raymond with a killer gaze, but he manages to ignore it completely.
"I don't understand you at all, really. You were supposed to be sad and hopeless and truly angry for everything. Why are you like this? You're just being unpredictable...too unpredictable." she said.
"Do you not have Clarissa to manipulate? Or are you saying that she can handle Draugit on his own?" Raymond said, ignoring Felicia's insults.
"You're quite the thorn on my side, don't you. I want nothing more than simply destroy all who opposes me and Kippernia's number one on my list. Why do you interfere with me anyways? This doesn't really concern you at all." Felicia speaks in the vilest expression, but Raymond does not show a sign of fear or nervousness.
"I did not interfere when you manipulate Clarissa. I did not interfere with unsealing Draugit. And I certainly did not play myself in a part against you nor do I help you in any way." Raymond replied back. Felicia's soul is burning. She wanted to just end it right there and now.
Raymond, knowing the expression of intense hatred inside of her, says "You cannot stop me. You cannot kill me. And you cannot hurt me in any way; because I can only be hurt by the people who I love and who I trust as a friend. I do not fear your demonic side of yours. Because you, I pity. Not I fear." This touched a nerve in Felicia's heart and she draws out her blade and tries to stab him. But Raymond simply evades it and counters with a bright light of strong holy magic.
Felicia screamed in immense pain as the attack continues. She howled in anger.
"This isn't over yet, fool! I won't be done until I destroy anyone and everyone that gets in my way!" Felicia says that before she leaves Raymond to himself.
"Well. That was fun." Raymond said before he sighed in desperation before he returned to his impolite self.
"They all just don't get the point. Period. All I want is a friend. A friend. One that will never separate from me. One who I can trust.. why isn't anyone like that exists in this place!?" Raymond then started to cry..the tears of sadness that he could not hold on, he released.
"I-I just want Draugit and Clarissa back. I-I'm scared..."
- It was all a facade for him. This world he sees is nothing more than a facade. He just wants to "go home". That is all. But..I might be able to help him. -
"?! Who is there?" Raymond said as he noticed my words.
"It is me." I said as I come down to the real world and reveal myself. I take on the form of a dragon..a dragon with a forgotten past and a forgotten name.
"You-You are Trastion, right?" Raymond said, giving a bright smile. I'm surprised that he knows about me.
"Yes, I am Trastion. You, on the other hand, are a lost child. You need anger and courage. I can give you that." I said roughly as I tried to convince him to do the same as Draugit did.
"B-But. If you merge will me, I.." Raymond hesitated as he said that.
"You have no need to worry. All you need now is to merge. I will not turn you like those other shadow dragons. I just need your body for more power." I said, trying to comfort him. I know what he's thinking and I know that he won't be the same as Draugit. I know of it.
"A-Are you sure?" Raymond still doubts with his mind. He knows I can't be trusted. But I have to convince him. I have to. He is going to need this..for my sake and yours.
"I am sure. I promise I won't hurt you in any way, physically and mentally. I can't promise you psychologically though." I said. His face started to glow a bit. I suppose he's feeling better. Now, I guess I just have to merge with him now.
As I entered his body, I tried to fight out the body's Deoxybonucleic something and tried my best to avoid all the necessary muscles that could merge with him permanently. With much force, I managed to reach his heart and I simply merged with him. Now, his emotions are complete..and he can merge with me whenever he wanted.
"Wha-What is this surge of power?" Raymond said as I glow myself in his heart. I just giggled as I continued to glow and glow and glow. Until Raymond and I disappear into nothingness. Both of us said in unison as we find our way to where it will all end.
"I am..alive."
The transformation begins taking its place. Raymond's turning into the same thing Draugit did. All is as planned. I can finally run from all that strife and fight with a partner by my side.
"Oh, and you might think I'm some omniscient narrator or something, really. But honestly, I'm just telling you what I have to know about Raymond and the rest. I know all though. Hehe..and someone told me about this a long, long time ago. Who is it that told me about all this? Its a s.e.c.r.e.t!" I winked as I said that.
Hahaha! Trastion; He never ceases to amaze me. I'm making this one a bit unique in a more comedical sense, but I think its funny to express those moments into motion. In any case, the first part is done. Now onto the second part.
