Little One

Eternal Darkness

Darkness enveloped the school. Everywhere you turn was darkness. Curses ran rampant, battling with the sorcerers. All the girl could hear was a mixture of screams and destruction. She could see various sorcerers either kneeling on the ground as they desperately cover their ears screaming, trying to drown out the overwhelming anxiety and fear they felt or trying their best to survive in the eternal darkness that had encompass the entire campus.

The girl ran around trying to her best to stay out of the way. She knew she would get punished for being in the way. Suddenly she bumped into a pair of legs. She turned looking up to see it was her father.

" Kirra there you are. It's time. You must release Oxlon." He said as he kneeling on the ground to get to the little girls height. She looked at her father with fear on her eyes as she shook her head vigorously.

" Listen to me! We have trained for this for 4 years Kirra, I'm not about to let you ruin this. This is for you're mother." He seethed gripping her shoulders as tears threatened to fall from her eyes." What did I tell you about crying. You're not a baby stop that." He scolded her immediately shutting her up.

" Now hide here and do as I say Kirra, I mean it. Don't come out until I come back." He said shoving the little girl behind a half broken wall. All she could see was the back of her so called fathers head as he walked into the darkness, not even sparing the child another look.

She turned and sat against the wall. She covers her ears and squeezes her eyes shut. Obeying her father's orders she released the one curse she had least control over.

Oxlon.

She could hear the roars of the curse as it trampled through the battlefield not caring who he injured in the process. Kirra tried her best to get control over him, to make him do what she wanted. It was a struggle to concentrate controlling so many curses all at one while also trying to control him.

" Hey Little one. What's a kid like you doing in a place like this?" She heard a voice ring through all the chaos. Slowly she opened her eyes. She saw a pair of shiny black shoes that belonged to a pair of long legs. Her eyes followed the legs up as she slowly uncovered her ears. Once she was able to see who the shoes belonged to her eyes widened. It was as if she saw an angel. His bright blue eyes seemed to glow in the deafening darkness and his stark white hair seemed to defy gravity as it swayed around.

" Is this domain you're doing?" He asked as he squatted down, his arms loosely lay on his thighs. The girl just stares back at him in awe. He wasn't effected. She'd never met anyone who could walk around so freely and see so well inside her domain on the first try.

Her eyes widened and fear filled her face. Behind the man charged the almost 9 foot tall Minotaur known as Oxlon.

" What's wrong?" The man tilted his head. Just then Oxlon had closed the distance ramming the man. Before Kirra has the chance to react she noticed something.

The man was fine.

Oxlon continued to push forward but the man didn't move.

" Wow he's strong." The man chuckled with a small smile." What grade is he?" He inquired. But the girl still didn't speak.

" Hmm let me guess." He said as he stood, tapping his finger on his chin as if pondering. He turned and allowed the curse to duel with him for 10 seconds as he gauged it's strength. Kirra watched in horror as she tried her best to stop Oxlon.

The man glanced at the girl from time to time noticing when she would jerk the curses arm a little just in time to miss the man. She didn't want to hurt him. Finally done with the curse Kirra saw a bright purple ball materialize. The man quickly noticed that the darkness was so thick even his purple didn't illuminate it. Nonetheless he shot his purple at the giant bull like creature. There was a large roar as the curse dematerialized. The man chuckled slightly as he made his way to the girl.
