TBATE - What if Tessia was the legacy ? - The legacy of it all

True feelings I

{Hannadreda ?????}

Hearing the heavy chaotic rain continue to fall around me in an almost deafening roar, I continued to run through the forest with my heart beating as heavily as the rain, my breath shallow and rapid, my eyes wide open, yet only spotting the obstacles in my way without any idea of a final objective to reach.

I wasn't even sure of why I was running; I just knew I had to run away, I couldn't accept any of what had happened, I couldn't understand any of it.

Ignoring my fatigue and wounds from my fight with Lucas' kidnappers as well as the freezing cold from my wet clothe, I pressed forward deeper in the forest that was bordering Xyrus academy and covered a large chunk of the floating city with no idea of where I was going until my legs gave out, leaving me to fall on the ground, splashing mud all around in the process.

It took me a few seconds to even realize I had fallen, as I felt no pain from the impact or from my legs, but only an omnipresent numbness. I barely felt my body anymore, as I laid still with half of my face covered in mud and the other peeking out to the vast and dark forest while the rest of my body was similarly covered half sunk in the ground, but I didn't feel like moving, I didn't feel like I could move.

My body was at his limits, my mind as well. I just couldn't do anything; I didn't want to do anything. I felt so lost.

Lethargically laying on the ground, I closed my eyes, not wanting to do or feel anything. I didn't want to think about Lucas and how he had just broken up with me, of how I felt like the world was unraveling under my very feet. I didn't want to think about what Tessia had said, I didn't want to believe she could be Unity. I didn't want to think about if any of this was part of someone's master plan or not, I just didn't want to think anymore, I just wanted to sink in the ground.

-Kyu!" Loudly shouted, what I assumed to be a mana beast, as I opened my one eye and through my blurry vision spotted a small lizard-like black creature running toward me with a taller figure a bit behind.

Closing my eyes once more, I felt my consciousness slip as someone grabbed onto my shoulder.

The following instant felt distant and confusing as I saw myself back in Unity's office in the early days of the organization as she talked to me with such a wise, thoughtful, decisive tone, while I listened with a mix of awe and fascination as I could only dream of being like her.

Snapping back to reality, I saw the forest moving around me while the rain continued to fall while I barely felt my body as all the sounds and voices around felt so distant.

-Let's go under the bridge, Sylv." I heard a man's voice say through the constant crashing of the rain as I realized that I was being carried on his back while my head ached more and more.

Closing my eyes once again, I let myself fall unconscious once more as my mind flashed back to my time with Lucas, to his shy smile, cute expression, the kindness he showed in the way he acted and how he always tried to help everyone, and how he always succeeded. No matter where he was, or who he was with, he would always smile, always try to help, always make them smile.

And yet he had left me, he had abandoned me.

Just thinking about those words made my heartache as the scene of him breaking up with me replayed in my mind over and over again, his voice resonating in my head and his closed, guilty expression stuck in my eyes even after I closed them.

The more I reminded myself of him, the more pain I found myself in. Until I couldn't take it anymore and opened my eyes again, finding myself under a moderately large stone bridge, laying on a solid layer of dirt with a large flow of water running about two meters below.
