The Ballad of Livena SongStar

Chapter 5 - Past Monster

Livena woke up screaming for Andon startling Arskan who were drinking the whisky. He went over to her and says to her as the tears began to stream down her face.

"Hey, You alright? What happened?" Livena looks at him and says with a sad tone in her voice. "I... He was right there and... I couldn't touch him..."

She then turns to look at Elisena and says with a look of anger on her face. "You... You told me that You help me reunite and bring my loved ones back to life!"

Elisena looks at her and says. "Ah, but I did help You be reunited with Your loved ones. But You didn't specify that You wanted to bring them back to life."

Livena looks at her and says with a desperate look on her face. "Then do it, bring them back to life. Please I am begging You!" Elisena gets up from her chair and says with a smile.

"I cannot bring the dead back to life, I can only send people to the afterlife for just a few minutes."

Livena turned her gaze away from him and has a defeated look on her face. She thought about what Andon told her and says to the others.

"Before I got torn away from Andon, He told me to go to Velshan..." Arskan looks at her with a bit of a surprised look on his face.

"Velshan? Why does He want You to go to the western kingdom?" Livena turns to look at him and says.

"I don't know, what ever it is there. It might be a way for me to bring him and my daughter back."

She then gets out of bed and goes to grab her satchel from the chair. Arskan looks at her and says. "Wait, hold on. You need to rest and We cant just leave for Velshan right now.

Besides, You are still injured from when..." Livena turns to look at him and says with a bit of an angry look on her face.

"I don't give a shit about my fucking injury! I just want my beloved back!" She then slammed open the door with a look of fury and determination.

Arskan were about to follow after her when Elisena said to him. "Remember what We talked about, Boy.

You helping her is of great importance even though You do not see it yet." Arskan gave her a nod and went after Livena as the sun began to slowly rise on the horizon.

And after walking for a while blood began to run down from the bloodied bandages around her leg. Livena ignored the pain and kept on walking as frogs began to croak in the river near by.

It pained Arskan to see her like this and lets out a small sigh. He ran up to her and says with a concerned look on his face.

"Livena, You need to stop and rest. Your bandages..." Livena just ignored him and kept on walking which irritated him a little.

Arksna roughly grabbed her shoulder and spun her around saying with a serious look on his face. "DAMMIT STOP!"

Livena looks at him and says with a look of anger. "Don't touch me! And I am fine..." Arskan looks at her and says with his expression unchanged.

"No You are not, You're bleeding out and You need to rest." Livena looks at him and says with an angry tone in her voice.

"I do not need to rest for We do not have time, If we rest then Andon might not have much time until He passes into the afterlife!"

Arskan looks at her and says with a angry tone in his voice. "Andon has a lot of time, now sit down and rest before I..."

Livena looks at him and says with so much anger and fury. "You what?! Tie me up and leave me on the ground until my wound is fully healed!?
