"Elektra! We did it! We won" I cried as I saw her beautiful golden eyes appear over the horizon. Quickly I stumbled over to embrace her as tears formed in my eyes. I have waited years to say those words.

It's finally over.

I realise you don't really know what's going on, I should go back a bit.

13th January Year: Unknown

"Hello there Azura" I heard a voice whisper behind me, I frantically spun round to see what it had come from. I was met with a tall figure dawning golden armour. As I looked up at Him I noticed his silver eyes piercing mine, his light brown hair was decorated with ash coloured streaks and in his right hand he held a golden bloodstained sword.

"Ventus. Nice of you to finally come out of hiding" I growled at him, readying my sword in an offensive stance and digging my right foot back into the dirt. I felt the wind gently blow my silver hair across my face as I glared up into Ventus's stone cold eyes.

"Now tell me where you and your little friends are hiding" within a second he prepared his sword and smirked.

"Come on now why would I tell you that" he laughed quietly. I glanced at the grey sky above me and then so the dimly lit city of Zephyrus below, only displaying the tops of the tutor-style houses, to the east I could see the dockyard and the mighty ships idly waiting there. within a second I felt a hard knock into my right side, knocking me over. I used my right arm balance myself as I lifted my head to look up at him once again.

"Ok ok I'll give you a hint, it's near where we used to play" he winked at me.

Confused, I paused for a second. Seeing that I got distracted, he saw the opportunity and took it,quickly slicing deeply into my right arm with his sword. My arm quickly gave in and my body fell again, this time my skull hitting the cold dirt below.

"Fuck" I whispered in agony as a warm crimson liquid began to leak from the wound.

"You bastard" I spat at him as I stumbled up from the floor, my hand enveloped in the sticky substance oozing from the incision. Looking back Up I saw his lanky frame walking away from me, his sword now stained with more of my blood. He turned to me.

"My offer still stands you know. I'm not here to kill you. Take it before you regret it. Until next time Azura Cahira" Ventus winked at me before taking a bow and disappearing.

I redirected my attention to the fresh injury which was still spitting red. All I could do now is head back. I grabbed my sword, causing it to also be infected with the crimson substance, and headed back to the others

I slowly stumbled through the door where i was met with a beautiful young woman who had the most amazing deep violet hair and golden eyes "Azura! Oh god your hurt" She panicked, running over to me.

"It's nothing really Elektra" I smiled at her softly. She carefully grabbed my blood-covered arm and held it out at her, causing me to wince in pain.

"See it's not nothing, stop being stubborn and let me help" she changed her tone.

"Alright alright" i muttered while being led to a chair.

"so how did this one happen" she questioned, reaching for a med kit.

"He caught me off guard, just something he said..." I trailed off.
