HIROGERU (Season 2)

Episode 13 - Foulness of Mind

Where am I? I asked that out loud and noticed that I was back in that room, the white room that only had white walls and floors around it and nothing else. Light-headedness encapsulated what I felt right about now as I attempted to walk around the said room.

My hands still look the same, the left hand bandaged and the right hand not. Did I pass out again? Weird that I still regain consciousness when I pass out, must be an indispensable skill of mine I guess.

Walking around this room, I seemed to notice that the halls are endless. The room looks so small but at the same time it was so vast. The question now is why am I here again?

I called you here.

 

That voice. I knew it. Facing the direction of where the voice came from I stumbled upon the sight of a familiar girl. Her platinum-blonde hair stood out and her white dress too. She had an angelic face and that smile of hers always seemed to make me feel calm and collected.

"Elle." I said to her and she walked to where I was at.

"Seiryu." She replied in response. Still childish I suppose.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked her again.

"Do you remember what happened?" she asked me.

Come to think of it I don't remember what happened. I remember fighting Julia back in the woods, but everything went blank after that.

"No I don't" I said to her.

"Of course you wouldn't" she said to me as she giggled. "The darkness inside you was infected by a foreign force." She said to me and I was a bit astonished.

Foreign force? What is she talking about?

"Think hard and try to remember." Elle coaxed me to do so as she said that. "What happened after the others had gotten near." She said to me.

I tried to think hard and eventually my mind was able to backtrack to what happened. I remember it, everything!

White hair, purple eyes, a foul darkness aura, wh-what happened to me?!

"Do you see it now?" Elle asked me as she put a hand on my shoulder.

I barely began to sweat as I felt a bit of a burn inside me. The darkness that was surrounding me wasn't normal. It wasn't mine and it tried to take advantage of me.

"Was that me?" I asked her.

Elle walked and stopped right in front of me. She had her back turned.

"Yes. His darkness almost got you." She said.

"He?" I asked her with a bit of fear and uncertainty in my status.

"Draconia Lastvia." Elle said to me. "It was his darkness that almost controlled yours. As you see he is an all powerful wielder." She added.
