"Do you hear me Aeliana? Don't do it again." said Aurora with her hands on her hips.

"Yes Aurora. I'm sorry.." Aeliana muttered in defeat. She knows very well to not put up a fight with Aurora fearing for her life.

"Hah... it's getting late. Go to sleep. We'll continue the training tomorrow." Aurora said while rubbing her temples.

"Okay..." as Aeliana was about to turn in for the night, she remembered her encounters with that lunarian guy and that made her stopped in her tracks.

"Anything else you wanna say?" asked Aurora, bewilderment portrayed in her face.

"I think I should tell you this before I sleep." Aeliana slowly said earning a face from Aurora demanding her to spill it.

"Earlier today, I encountered a boy..with dark magic..he was a lunarian i think-that cursed child of the moon i mean." finishing her words left Aurora's heart to sank.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?? Stay here. I need to make a quick visit to the elder." with that said, Aurora left their dwelling.

"You didn't even give me a moment to speak...ugh..forget it." Aeliana shook her head in disappointment and slip herself into the bed.

But no matter how hard she tried to sleep, her eyes were wide awake refusing to bend to her wishes. She kept on changing her position to sleep but to no avail, nothing worked leaving her frustrated.

Her mind kept wandering off to the encounter with that lunarian guy she met at the forest earlier. She couldn't help but feel uneasy about it like her guts telling her something bad is going to happen.

She cursed him in her heart for preventing her from getting a good night's sleep after straining her ears for hours listening to two people lecturing her. Just the thought of him made her blood boiled in the most uncomfortable way.

Suddenly, a loud explosion wake her from her trance. She looked out the window to see..dark creatures roaming around??! She ran outside and saw all the people in her neighbourhood scurrying away in panic from their dwellings.

She spotted a familiar figure among the crowds and that was Elaine. Elaine was about to be attacked by a dark dragon and without thinking Aeliana ran and quickly grabbed her and rolled to the side merely a few seconds away before the creature could strike her.

Now the dark dragon's eyes were fixated on her. She quickly told Elaine to run away from the village and find somewhere safe to hide temporarily. She knows very well she's not gonna come out of this unscathed or maybe even alive. Her staff and sword is not with her and she grew more anxious as seconds pass by.

She ducked the creature's attack and made a run to her house, grabbing her staff and sword in hand. She's glad she learned how to use the both of them and she readied herself to cast spells, facing the dark dragon.

Light beam shot out of her staff burning away the dark dragon bits by bits but it didn't do much to it and her efforts made the dark dragon to be even more irritated.

It swung its tail at her at an alarming speed that caught Aeliana off guard and she rolled on the ground, groaning in pain. But before she could scramble back to her feet, the creature slam its hard tail on her making blood oozed out of the back of her head.

She rolled on her back to cast a shield before the dark dragon could strike her for the third time and successfully climb to her feet, taking a fighting stance.

She could feel blood trickle down her forehead and her vision getting blurry but she still prepare herself for battle.

"I need to finish this quick..." she thought and threw her staff to her side and grabbed her sword instead.

She lunged at the creature directly making it swing its tail at her and she dodged it perfectly before jumping up to stab it in the eye but the creature caught on her and it swung its tail at her again forcing her to dodge the attack mid-air.

She did so and plummeted herself down on the creature's head aiming her sword right on its eye and successfully landed that heavy blow. The creature fell limp on the ground with a thud.

She stabilized herself and catch her breath looking around at the chaotic scenery. It was horrifying to watch. Almost everything was engulfed in flames but something caught her eye that sent shivers down her spine.

"You sure she's in this village? I don't see anyone looking like her." Nox said while looking around.

"Why do you care if she's here so much?" asked Tsukio, frustrated over Nox asking him for the hundredth time about Aeliana.

"I just wanna see a glimpse of her before she dies. It would be rather grueling to see her in her death state." said Nox excitedly looking around the aflame village.

Tsukio rolled his eyes and a familiar figure caught his peripheral vision. The girl that Nox has been searching for is fighting for her life with a dark dragon at the east of the village.

He smirked as he saw her taking down that creature on her own while having major bleeding. But as soon as she noticed him looking at her, terror visible in her eyes which amused Tsukio even more.

He made his way to her slowly and witnessed her struggling to keep herself balance from the major concussion she had. She had grabbed her staff and prepare herself in a fighting stance.

"So we meet again." he said as he mockingly smiled at her.

Aeliana didn't reply to his greeting and kept her focus on him. Eyes staring into his eclipse orbs with pure menace. He swear he could hear her gritting her teeth in anger and this made him want to provoke her even more.

"Why the silent treatment? Cat got your tongue?" said Tsukio, driving her up the wall but she only clicked her tongue and shot a light beam at him, inches away from scratching his face.

"Leave. Now." she snarled at him, glaring into his soul. This made his smirk even wider.

But that smile turned sour when he saw Aurora amidst the panicking crowds. Probably searching for the girl in front of him. He mused and turned his back on Aeliana as he orders all of the dark creatures to retreat.

"I swear...I'll kill you someday.." muttered Aeliana as Tsukio's figure getting farther away from her which Tsukio heard loud and clear. He smirked again.

Soon, all of the dark creatures disappeared almost in an instance as if the attack didn't even broke out. Aeliana fell to her knees holding the staff for support.

She reached her limit. But before she fainted she saw Aurora running towards her, fear displaying in her eyes as she watched Aeliana's eyes coming to a close.

"Aeliana! Aeliana! Stay with me! Don't close your eyes..!" said Aurora desperately while holding Aeliana in her arms.

"Sorry.." Aeliana said softly and she drifted into the world of dreams.
