A white hooded figure landed softly in front of Hiriya as the wall of water clamed down and vanished. He had a blue gauntlet on his right arm, which had 10 encrusted sapphires. Hiriya instantly knew who he was… The White Beast.
“Now, I’ll take over this fight. Protect the girl.” The White Beast told Hiriya.
“Elemental Switch: Light”
[ELEMENTAL SWITCH: LIGHT]
As the sound resonated, the gauntlet on his right arm changed from blue to white, the sapphires also change their hue to a clear crystal color. As The White Beast readied himself in a running stance, a white magic circle slowly appeared and enlarged underneath him.
[LIGHT DASH]
As if cued by the sound, The White Beast instantly vanished, along with the circle.
“Wha…”
Before the hooded girl could finish her sentence, she was knocked off her feet and knocked around like a ragdoll. Wounds started to appear, on her left arm, then her right leg and then a gash on the left side of the hood near her face. As she tried to retaliate, another blow sent her flying towards a tree nearby. Then the white hooded figure reappeared at the place she was sent flying from, with a small gust of wind which ruffled the edges of his cloak.
“Is that it?” He scorned.
“…ch, I’m just getting started.” The girl said. Wiping away the blood that had dripped from her leg and arm. The wounds started to slowly heal after she had done so. She raised her gauntlet and a green blade appeared. The White Beast also raised his gauntlet and a white blade appeared.
The two dashed forward and the two clashed. Bright lights of white and green can be seen, however their shapes could be barely made out by Hiriya’s eyes, the speed at which they were moving was very fast. The scenery around them was also affected by the speed, the leaves fluttered wildly and flashed in the flickers of lights. Hiriya rushed towards the still unconscious girl under the tree he placed her at.
“Ho~ not bad, being able to catch up to this speed.” The White Beast said.
“…ch.” The hooded girl gritted her teeth.
The White Beast stretched his armored hand forwards as if trying to grasp something, as he did, a large white magic circle formed in front of him. As his body punched through the circle, it shattered.
[LIGHT DASH: SECOND STAGE]
With a sudden burst of speed, he accelerated even faster, outmatching the girl’s speed. The White Beast then turned to face the girl and crossed his arms. A second gauntlet appeared on his left arm, this one was red in color. Two circle, one white and one red appeared on their respective colored gauntlets.
“Combined Element: Fire and Light.” The White Beast yelled.
The two circles shattered.
[ELEMENT MIX: FIRE & LIGHT. BLAZING TRAIL]
As he moved, the direction he moved in ignited, the flames didn’t burn the trees. However, the girl remained persistent in avoiding contact with it, as she did, a bit of her cloak caught the fire and burnt to ashes.
Hiriya looked over at the girl he left at the tree. She was still unconscious. He knew he had to get her out of there but something in his heart kept telling him to do something else. Suddenly, the daydream reappeared again.
“If I disappeared and came back unconscious, will you kiss me like in those books you read me?”
“…kiss…” Hiriya recalled.
Subconsciously, he leaned towards the girl’s lips. The hooded girl noticed this. She immediately turned her attention to the two and dashed towards the pair. The White Beast also noticed this and followed. As they dashed towards the pair, Hiriya kissed the girl on her lips. As he did, he regained consciousness and realized what he was doing, taken aback, Hiriya tried to move away, it was at this time that the girl slowly gained consciousness. As she opened her sea blue eyes, she hugged Hiriya tightly and deepened the kiss. As Hiriya felt their tongues intertwine with each other and the girl’s huge chest squish softly and stretchily, a swirl of water and wind started to spiral around the two. Hiriya was about to struggle, but he did not. Instead, he continued to kiss the girl, their saliva lubricating each other’s mouth. A small symbol appeared on the girl and his own right hand. The symbols were identical and resembled that of the word, “水”(Water) and they shone brightly. As the two were surrounded by the water and wind, they stared into each other’s eyes endearingly and whispered softly.
“EXILATION”
As the spiral of water and wind intensified, the girl exploded into 10 green emeralds and attached to Hiriya’s armor, as they did, 10 blue sapphires appeared on his armor as well. The spiral of water and wind slowly subsided, forming puddles of water and leaves scattered on the ground. The hooded girl was taken aback, however The White Beast was pleased.
“After 10 years… the promise has been fulfilled.” He said.
Hiriya turned to the hooded girl, his eye were hollow and lifeless, as if Hiriya had been possessed by something. The girl snapped out of her stun and prepared to attack him. As she did this, Hiriya stretched out his right hand and casted a magic circle, the puddles of water and scattered leaves started to slowly move back towards Hiriya’s outstretched arm.
[EXILATION ELEMENT: WATER & WIND. AQUA STORM]
As the sound resonated, a huge spiral of water and leaves shot towards the hooded girl. The girl activated a spell and a wall of wood erupted from the ground in front of her. However, the spiraling water cut clean through and hit her squarely on the chest. The force sent her flying towards a tree nearby a thud. As she slumped down and lost consciousness, Hiriya also felt really tired from the attack and slumped down as well. The ten emeralds detached from the armor and reformed the shape of the girl, Hiriya’s EM armor also de-virtualized. As Hiriya slowly slipped out of consciousness, he could make out the shape of The White Beast looming over him. The moonlight shined brightly on his white cloak.
“Protect that girl with all your might, kid. Your action will change the world.” The White Beast said.
The White Beast turned and looked at the moon, as he did, Hiriya collapsed and blacked out as the white veil fluttered in the wind.
