Chapter 68

Leonidas would stand outside the temple as rain poured down from the sky onto him. As he stared out into the distance he'd have reoccurring flashbacks of the fight between him and his brother.  He'd rub his eyes and when he opened them up he'd see his brother standing in front of him. The hole Leonidas put in his chest would be visible.

Leonidas would widen his eyes as he surrounded his fist in aura and began to swing at the imaginary figure. As he swung he screamed. "YOU'RE DEAD!" Loudly.

Ember would pause. "Uh. You hear that too right?"

Adalina would nod. "I'd have to be deaf to hear his idiotic yelling."

"Uh. Should we go check on him?" Ember.

Adalina  would begin to laugh loudly. "Ohh. No...no. I'm not gonna check on him. You can though."

Ember would pause for a second. "Oh. I'll go do it then." She'd stand and walk off outside the temple.  She'd slowly walk towards Leonidas as he continued swinging at nothing. "Leonidas!" She'd yell to get his attention.

Leonidas would snap back into reality turning to Ember.  "Oh. Hi."

Ember would stare at him a look of concern on her face. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." Leonidas would nod beginning to walk back inside. He'd walk back inside of the temple as Ember quickly followed behind him.

"Are you sure? You can tell me ya know." Ember said grabbing his shoulders while the others sat and watched.

"It's about my brother." Leonidas responded.

"Isn't he dead?" Adalina began to speak still sitting down.

"I know he's dead but he keeps coming back." Leonidas said letting out a sigh.

"But if he's dead he can't come back. So you didn't kill him." Erick commented.

Everyone in the room would go silent and stare at Erick.

"....Are...are you serious?" Adalina said raising an eyebrow.

"I don't even want to deal with his stupidity. My point is I see him repeatedly even though he's suppose to be dead. I know he's dead since I'm the one who killed him but still."

Andere would walk out of her room yawning. "Oh so he's having problem with dealing with the fact that he killed someone?"

Leonidas would remain silent staring at Andere.

"I'll give you some advice. It's simple to be honest. All it really comes down to is acceptance." Andere would begin to explain. "If you still feel some guilt about it that guilt will get to you and you'll have moments like just now. So my point is you just have to learn to accept what you've done and try to move on you know? It doesn't happen overnight obviously but still. Hope you can." She'd walk off to another room.

"Yeah. I think Andere is right." Ember would begin to speak. "I mean. I've never killed anyone but maybe her advice will be useful."

Leonidas would begin to walk away from the group towards the door. "I need some time to be alone."

Kagura would walk towards Leonidas and grab his wrist. As she opened her mouth to say something. Leonidas roughly pulled his arm away and left.

As Kagura began to walk after him Andere would step in front of her.

"Let him be by himself." She'd put her hand onto Kagura's shoulder. "It's for the best. He'll cone back."

As Leonidas walked deeper and deeper into the nearby forest he began to fell a large amount of different auras around him.  He'd turn to his left as one man ran towards him. He'd pull out his sword and slash him across the chest before turning and dashing past another one cutting him too.

A person would watch the fight from a distance smirking as one by on Leonidas took out the men.

A man would run towards Leonidas and slam his fist into his stomach causing him to slide back.

Leonidas would growl as he slashed at the man rapidly surrounding his sword in aura.

The man would collapse completely covered in slashes.

The person would walk forward towards Leonidas before he'd turn pointing his sword at them.

"Ohh. You were much stronger than I expected." The person would have the voice of a woman.  "I thought they would be enough but clearly I was wrong."

"Who are you?" Leonidas stared at the woman. She was of average height with short blonde hair and a single bang that partially covered her left eye. Which slowly began to glow a bright red.

"My name is Mia." She'd respond. "I've been watching you and your friends for a while now and decided you would be the perfect one."

"Perfect one for what?" Leonidas grabbed his head feeling a slight pain.  "I'm not stupid like Erick I'm not going down without a fight." He'd run towards her beginning to slash.

Mia would begin to step back avoiding the slashes. I can't beat him in a one on one. I didn't think I'd need to bring the others.  "Out of all of them you're the one that catches my eyes. I want you."

"Wait a minute." Leonidas would say as he attacked. "You need to stop with these weird compliments I'm taken."

"I'm aware of that." Mia would respond as her eyes continued to glow slowly getting brighter. "I don't mind though. I want you to mine."

Leonidas would vanish and appear behind Mia. "Well too bad." He'd swing his sword but suddenly stop at the last minute completely frozen. His sword pressed against her neck.

Mia's face of horror would slowly turn into a large smile as she'd laugh loudly. "Ahaha! I got him!"

Leonidas would slowly lower his sword and drop it.

"Come on Leonidas. Lets go!" Mia would begin to cheer loudly as Leonidas followed behind her.

Taiga jumped out of her bed looking around. "Something's off."
