Sun & Purity Vs. Darkness - A new Legend (Marissonshipping) [Wattys 2016]

Chapter 13: The strength inside of her

''Manon!'' a well-known voice called.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked around.

''Alan?'' she asked unsurely.

That can't be him. He's ...

''Manon, calm down!'' the voice said soothingly.

Why am I hearing his voice?

''You have to wake up!'' Alan's voice begged desperately.

Wake up? But I'm awake.

''You're dreaming. Haku had sent you sleeping and dove into your mind. Whatever you see is not real!'' his voice explained.

So it's just a nightmare?

''Listen Manon, you must defeat this Haku guy in order to wake up.'' Issun's voice told her.

Defeat him? But how? I'm not strong enough and haven't even a weapon.

''Manon, you can do this. I believe in you.'' Alan's voice stated confidently.

''We all do.'' Issun's voice added while Ammy barked to support his statement.

If they believe in me, then I can do this. With this thought, Manon stood up, wiped her tears away and looked determined at her opponent.

''Too bad you figured it out. It would have been much easier for both of us if you'd still thought this was real. But although you're the Chosen One, you're no match for me.'' Haku said arrogantly.

''I will defeat you!'' Manon protested determined.

''You? Defeat me? Don't make me laugh! You even haven't a weapon.'' he stated scoffing.

''That doesn't matter. If my friends believe, that I can do this, then I can do it. Somehow I will defeat you.'' Manon said seriously.

Suddenly her chest began to glow in a white light. It got brighter and Manon closed her eyes because of that. When the brightness faded away, she opened her eyes again and saw a weapon floating in front of her.

It was a wavelike sword. Its blade was pure white with a golden edging. On the equally pure white hilt was a golden lily engraved.

Manon took it fascinated in her hands and smiled. Madame Fawn was right. The weapon lay inside of me.

''Now that I have a weapon I will defeat you.'' Manon said determined while pointing with the end of the surprisingly light sword at Haku.

''Bring it on!'' he ordered with an evil grin on his face.

Manon ran towards Haku. When she was only centimeters away from him, he created a dark violet shield to protect himself. She raised her sword and attacked the shield. The blade touched it, cut through the shield and hit the shocked chimera.

Angry about the hit, Haku tried to grab her with his trunk. But Manon dodged it just in time and wanted to attack again when he stomped his left forepaw on the ground. The earth underneath Manon's feet disappeared and she fell.

She closed her eyes scared and held her sword tight in her hands. Then the sword glowed in a bright, golden light. The illusion of falling in an endless hole vanished.

Manon opened her eyes when she felt the ground under her feet. She looked confused around. So it was just another illusion of him.

Haku didn't waste time and held his trunk up. Arrows of fire appeared out of nowhere. He swung his trunk in his original position and the arrows flew towards Manon.

She wielded her sword horizontal and sent them back to the attacker. They hit him and because of that, he turned gray while yellow stars were over his head.

Manon used this opportunity and attacked Haku with her sword. Her blade moved elegantly thereby and it seemed as if she had never done anything else.

After a few more hits, he fell lifeless to the ground.

Manon observed her sword in disbelief. That's weird. I never used a sword before, so why could I handle it so easily? It almost felt like it had moved on its own. Then the sword disappeared from her hands and appeared on her back.

Haku's body vanished in a wave of beautiful flowers and the environment turned white. Because of the brightness, Manon closed her eyes.

A/N: Everything, that happened since the environment turned black wasn't real. Since Haku was created out of the fears of humans I wanted him to be capable of creating a nightmare, which shows Manon's biggest fear. And I believe, that her biggest fear is that Alan dies. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned to find out how Manon will deal with the things, that she saw :)
