Record 2 : The Lost Lost One

"One whose identity was lost

Find yet another place to belong

But now that too is lost

What is it that that one can hope for now?"

"Ealonna, Elarie Forest?"

Green... My eyes start to taking in light as the sound started to come into my mind. Why am I here? How long and how far have I walked? What do I have to do now?

I slowly raise my head, heavy like trying to lift a weight of thousand tons. Silent... It seems like I am in the forest, there is nothing around other than trees and the faint sound of the chirping birds. When I look up, a faint ray of light shine through my eyes, for some reason it feels like it could pierces right through me if I don't squints my eyes. I must have unconsciously move to this place... for a reason I try not to recollect, but to no avail, when I raise my hand to cover my eyes, the red odor stained on it flashes back the memories of those moments.

Scream...Fear...Agony...Pain...Death. My head hurts, my system isn't malfunctioning nor any impact has occurred yet it hurts "What is going with me?" I ask myself while looking at my blood-stained hands.

Everyone is dead. The culprits had been killed... then what now? I don't have anything left, I was helping everyone with their jobs but now they're gone. They are the people I trusted, yet one of them turned on all of us. If that didn't happen, would someone else take that place? Questions start to appear everywhere in my mind. But after thinking about it for a short while, I shrug off those thinking.

"...No more reason to think about that." I say while remembering what Kervul said I won't let it fall into the hand of a mongrel who hides his face behind a sheep mask! I no longer have any connection left with humans, it seems like they are a race full of lie and envy, I should have put up research before going with them.

I put all that out of my calculations and start searching for some possibly objectives "...Going back...?".

I stand still for awhile, thinking about the thing that just pop-up in my system, to go back to the place I was awakened. Why did this come up I wonder? But there is no reason to stay here, without any doubts, I just followed the objective. But right when I start to move my leg, something bumps into me.

"Pyu!?" A small creatures lies beneath me, I haven't seen anything like it before, must be some local animal here. As I look down to it, it tremble "P-pyu.." and drop something.

I slowly pick up what was dropped, a crest? It is a crest engraved with a green crystal inside. Why is this one carrying it around? Just when I look back at the little one, it immediately runs away. I guess it doesn't like my presence, not very surprising.

"...Who?..." My system picks up a presence similar to that of a human being around my back. As I ask, I turn around to face it. A woman slowly walks out of the bushes behind me. She seems to be cautious and already has a weapon prepared on her hands. She has greenish hair and eyes, her clothing share the same color theme and has many strange pattern which I have never seen before. Is she one of them too? Is she here to hunt me? She seems to be a bit hesitate compare to those guys though.

As I keep questioning myself to find a correct theory, she suddenly give me a smile... a bit strange though "Uh... Hello! We are having nice weather today! What are you doing in such a dark place like this?"

"...What?..." I'm dumbfounded, what is with this sudden change in the atmosphere? Wasn't she just being so cautious because of me? What is with that smile and the question that seems like she and I are acquaintance? I totally don't have any respond to that nor do I have any way to react, not something that is within my calculation, totally... ridiculous?

Then after asking me that, she starts to act on her own, she said something to herself while looking around avoiding looking at me. So what is wrong with this woman? Just what is she want with me? But it only take a few moment for her to reveal herself, when she finally turns her gaze over to me, she suddenly yell like I just did something that surprised her "HEY! Isn't that my crest?!"

She points her hand that is attached with her bow toward me, and an arrow immediately flies straight at me. With that, both my mind and body react to the situation, I pull out my spear and deflect the arrow "...You too, huh?..." I give her a threatening glare, so she is here to kill me too so it seems.

She slowly back off and give out a ridiculous laugh "Um...Eh...That's...Ahahaha" just laugh, because that might be the last you can do. To be honest, she somehow really annoying despite I just met her for like... what? Thirty seconds?

I ready my weapon and then dash right toward her, she mutters something to herself which I don't quite care what it is "Guess today is a bad day for exploring...-sob-" and then immediately runs away, just like those guys.

I chase her down, the role is reverted unlike the last, I am chasing someone. I have to get rid of her, or else other nuisances might come. I lunge my spear toward her, but she manages to dodge it. Her movements is more swift and accurate than those guys, and yet she doesn't seems to be fighting back at all. There is sometimes I manages to get into contact, but she block it all with her shoes and thrown me back, not even trying to counter when I'm being push away.

After playing chase for awhile, she is still ahead of me, with this frustrating situation, I think I have to get ahead and stop her from moving. But as I think of my tactics, the woman shout "Please calm down! I think we have some misunderstand her- Wow!" she looks back and said something stupid just to almost bash her head into a tree's branches.

She's trying to repudiate her actions now? Human sure are a pitiful race, I wonder how did I put so much faith in them before? Must have due to the lack of information and experiences. I fasten my speed to catch up with her. Eventually, we come into an open space. Both of us stop, she seems to be a bit tired after the chase, quite an outstanding stamina compare to what I have seen until now.

"Ha...ha... Please wait a bit... Can we talk this out? But do you understand what I am saying?" she said like I am something that incapable of understanding a mere human language, she doesn't know who I am so it's obvious but for some reason it still pisses me off "Yes...I understand... very CLEARLY!" I smash my spear at her, but she jumps back to dodge it "I-Is that so? Let me explain! I'm sorry about what happened but I didn't mean to hurt you!" such a great repudiation, that guys said the same thing back then too, right before he died.

I ignore what she said and keep approaching her, I will finish it this time, too much blabbing already. As I ready my spear once more, I dash toward her. But then I feel a sudden tremor in the ground, the sudden occurrence made me lost my balance and have to stop right away. I try to find the source of the tremor, but when I was looking around, the woman suddenly yell "LOOK OUT!" she jumps right into me pushing me back and both of us fall on the ground. The place where I was standing was burned to ashes with a gigantic flame wave from the right.

As both of us try to get up, the ground keep on trembling. A giant creature emerges from the burned sites on the right, it is a white giant creature with purple crystallized horn and claws. It turns and let out a howl at us as it is walk out, preparing for its assault. Both of us stand up, still staggering, I look directly at the creature standing before us "Kuh... This one is huge..." this is the first time I face a living thing that is this large in size.

But no matter, it seems that it trying to get us for its meal or something, and since it seems more threatening than that woman over there I think I should get rid of it first "Wait a minute please! We didn't mean to make trouble here!" The woman suddenly talk to it.

"I know we might have annoyed you, but can you let us go this time?" she is trying to sweet-talk it? What the heck is this woman thinking? The creature seems to have stop for a bit though, but not for long. I notice the suddenly glow of black energy from its eyes, and right after that it raises it claw preparing to smash down.

"Why you...!" I dash toward it and attack. Both strikes collide with each other, but since the creature put in a lot more force that I do, it thrown me into the woman and both of us face the ground again. Why did I defend her again? Maybe I just don't want it to initiate the battle, or maybe keeping her as a bait would be better?

"W-Why? Isn't Ancient Phoru usually are very calm and docile guardians? Why is it raging like that?" the woman look at the creature, her eyes are more worrying than afraid. What's with this one? She is too weird to comprehend. I have no other choice but to go with the flow, she might get in the way at this rate if I try to eliminate that thing so called "Ancient Phoru", I'll just make her bait it out or whatsoever.

"Tch... Take a good look at its eyes! It is not in normal state!" I tell her "It must be raging due to unknown phenomena, the only way to make it stop is to knock it out-cold!" why am I bother explaining this to her? And for some reason all of my malice toward her is gone too. What is wrong with me?

"Ah... That's right! Its eyes are suppose to be red, not black like that!" she finally figures it out.

I sigh, and try to stand up, that last hit was quite heavy but nowhere near fatal. I try to balance myself and ready my weapon "This thing might be too much of a trouble. I will shut it down first, I will take care of you later." I prepare my spear of my left hand and charge energy on my right hand, this might be the first time I fight consciously. I will just hope that woman won't get in the way.

"Wait!" stay down please "That one is very strong, you can't handle it easily!" I know so stay put and bait it with your sweet-talk again already "I will help you fight, too! Let's just make that an apologize for what happened earlier." ...I will just shut up and let her do her own illogical way, she doesn't get what I am thinking here. But wait, why did I expect that? We just met more than ten minutes ago.

"It's coming..." I change to my battle stance, prepared for the Ancient's assault "Ah! But please don't kill it! It's a very sacred animal! I think we can sort thing out so just knock it out, ok?" the woman said.

"..." I don't have anything else to say to her anymore, everything doesn't matter anymore, I just want to defeat this thing and get on with it already "Just don't get in my way or you will die along with it..."

"Alright! Oh by the way, my name is Elvis. What about you?" she can still asks for name in this situation? This incomprehensible creature is far beyond the horizon of my knowledge already "...Erille..." I reply in monotone "Alright! Then let's do our best together, Eri!"

...For the first time, I feel like I want to just hide somewhere and don't do anything as long as I can get away from this woman. And who are you calling Eri?

So how should I buff the Ancient Phoru? This one need a lot of remaking and was underrated a lot cause it is a beginning boss. I will try to make it something better than just a punching bag.
