Chapter Eight: The Dark Face of Purity, The Born Face of Hope

Colin stood next to Vitus while Abel and planned to improve the settlement, then quietly asked

"Can we trust them?" Vitus was about to shrug, but was caught mid gesture. He immediately

gave a thumb's up in a robust bravado. He began to slowly sink to the ground after Ingrid and

Colin walked away with their reassurance. "That wasn't my hardest hit." Jedrek bragged as he

helped Vitus up. Vitus rolled his eyes as he got up. Jedrek looked in Abel's direction, he ordered

"Bring construction workers, blacksmiths, and firearms specialist immediately. " Abel nodded

and got back into his vehicle. His team drove away as quickly as possible. Vitus turned as a

sound piqued his attention, the faint sound originated from a westward direction. He walked to

the west sector of the settlement, the sound became the roar of marching knights. The army

followed the helm of Lia. The moved in a unnatural, automata like unison. Ingrid saw Lia and

went immediately into the fray. Vitus, Jedrek and Colin followed after. Ingrid attempted to thrust

her blade into Lia, but had no effect. The tip of the blade was halted by angelic being's palm, the

momentum she built up was sent away as a gust that blew away most of the blank minded

knights. Lia disclosed as they looked at Ingrid with their cold, merciful eyes "You are flower

covered in a disgusting crimson, I shall save with this act of grace" They backhanded Ingrid with

incredible force that sent her flying. Vitus dashed as fast as he could to catch her. He, but the

were still moving at a high velocity. Vitus finally got them to slow down and put her down, he

was about to attack and saw Colin go in for a sneak strike. It was blocked with no effort. Colin

continued to swing his axe and every full force strike was knocked away. "You mortals should

know your place, continued rebellion is ill advised..." Lia informed. They straightened their hand

and began to thrust like a blade. Colin used his axe to defend, but it only lightened the wound

depth. Vitus became enraged, he charged in with reckless abandon. His fist was caught

immediately, he felt an enormous wave of dread wash over him. Lia pushed up with their other

palm and cracked Vitus' arm. Then, they mercilessly kicked out his shins as they used his broken

arm as a counterbalance. All Vitus could do was scream in pain, Jedrek tried to intervene and

had his bones broken by a single palm stopping him. Vitus used the rest of his strength to grab

Lia, he began to yank something out of them. A long haired angelic being appeared out of Lia, it

broke Vitus free and engulfed everything in a flash of light. Lia crumpled their fist and turned

away. Vitus and the others woke up in a hospital, they saw an androgynous person with a pony

tail sitting in a chair. "It seems you are alright, that brings me joy." the person marveled. They

were confused to see the blond haired person in white "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself...I'm

Von. It's nice to make you acquaintance " The person added. They were happy to be alive and

thanks him in return
