Dragons and Slayers (Sting x Reader)

Chapter 32: Battered Bettered

:Media- You bleeding and battered:

"You did raise me better!" I looked up at her, "you taught me the ways of living. The kindness and soulfulness of your love and affection helped me thrive through my childhood and move forward in my life."

"But I left you," Glare snickered, "you started to bore me. Annoy, more like! All your whining and crying. How I always had to save you!"

She rose to her back feet and whipped her head sending a thin, blade-like black magic. I jumped up dogging that but I didn't realize Glare swung herself around and whacked me with her tail. I went flying into the wall of the dome. My body started to burn.i let out a yelp and closed my eyes tightly.

The pain in my side was excruciating! Like being hit with a simi-truck going 120 miles per hour. I fell to the ground with a crash into the bushes. I say there, holding my side.

I slowly stood up and walked back in front of Glare, "you taught me to love and to care." I shook my head, "you taught me how to fight! To use my magic, in the word of the good and the worthy! To stand up for justice and fairness!"

"Oh, shut up and fight me!" Glare slammed her front feet into the ground over and over. Her claws digging up dirt and making a scratching noise on the rock below.

"Glare. I know that's not you speaking! Please, I know you're in there!"

"But it's me, (Y/N). You're darling mother. Now fight me!"

"Ahh!" I screamed and let loose of my magical energy, "Why do you insist of me fighting?"

"Yes.." She smiled in amazement.

"Maybe I'm tired of fighting! But I'm sick of waiting! What if I just wanted to give up?" I took a step closer to Glare, "Maybe I got tired of hoping you were still alive. Just maybe! Just maybe... I wish I died."

Do you really feel like that?, Sting voice cracked in my head.

No, I said carefully choosing my words, it's just a show.

I heard a small sigh of relief blow in my head, thank God...

I wasn't paying attention like I should be. When I snapped into reality, it was too late. A ray beam was heading straight for me. I didn't have time to cast a spell or try to block it... I shielded my head with my arms but was blinded by the overwhelming darkness of nothing.

"Space Obis..." I said quietly to myself, "you only used this once. When there were powerful mages in the woods getting to close for comfort... They almost killed you until you used this one."

"Indeed. One of the strongest spells I have," Her demonic, disfigured voice staticked in my head. It was uneasy, and set my stomach in motion.

"But you forgot something..." I said. I lowered to the ground of this black surrounding and sat. My legs were folded cross cross in front of me and I put my hands in my shins. I slowly closed my eyes and took a deep breath, "With darkness comes light. And with light comes a shadow. You told me this when I was young. If you become one with darkness and understand it, there's nothing to be worried about."

"Wh-what? What are you doing?!" She sounded panicked, "if you try breaking this spell you'll get hurt!"

"It's the price I am willing to take," I started to bring my hands up. I flicked my wrist and cracked the joint. I was completely relaxed. Knowing what might happen:
•I could die.
•I could be stuck in here until I die.

My physical state back on Earth is frozen in stone. Here, where I am right now. It's inside that stone. Your mind and heart. You only have a day to break free before your heart completely turns to stone like the rest of your body.

I make circles with my thumb and forefinger, I switched hand positions and made new symbols and shapes with my hands. I uttered softly a foreign tongue, "jebin caqabad ku, kelyaha iyo qalbigaba, inay taabta-"

Suddenly the darkness started to sprinkle up with light. Something hard and ridged hit my head and blood leaked down onto my forehead going to my eye. I must continue... Do not open your eyes...

"-an iyo jidhka" I picked up where I ended and twisted my hands like turning a door handle quickly making my wrist pop. More light seeped through the darkness, the spell was lifting. The blood that was rivering down my face now grow. More and more blood leaked. And I squeezed my eyes closed.

It was like my forehead was being ripped open. My brain started pounding, like it was knocking on my skull asking for permission to leave. At first it was dull but like that annoying person that drums on your door, increased its speed and the strength of the knock. I held my head and screamed.

But just as quick as the pain came, it went away... My head stopped pounding and my foreheads bleeding slowed down. Blood now seeped through my favorite shirt. "Damn it," I cursed under my breath.

I opened my eyes to be in the exact same position I was trapped in a stone cage of my skin. Blood now drooling down my face and out of my nose. Now sticking in my eyebrow and sinking into my mouth. I coughed up dust and blood and wiped my lips.

"That was a close call," I said like a badass. I trying to look like I wasn't scared or like I wasn't sad. My mother, just tried to kill me...
