ARAGU

Nightmare

"Xaeron!"

I opened my eyes and saw nothing. It's too dark and I can tell someone is watching me.

"Xaeron!"

Who is it?!

I tried using my fire but I can't.

"Xaeron help me!"

Damn it! I can't use my fire.

"Master!"

Aera?

"Help!"

I ran and followed the voice.

Where are you?! It felt like I can't speak up.

"Xaeron!"

I followed it again. I keep running even I can't see anything.

I was panting when I stopped. There was a small tint of light, I walked towards it and then I ran slowly then faster.

I heard a lot of cries from people I don't know.

The light slowly became bigger and when I reached it, I couldn't believe it.

There was a trace of the war.

Blood, corpses, a mother holding her dead child, men who killed everyone who is alive.

What's happening?! Am I too late?

"Hahahahahaha!"

I turned around and saw a man. He was behind me all the time?

"You!" I think I have found my voice.

"Look at you child. You called yourself the Master of Fire? Your pathetic!"

I tried again to use my power and this time it works.

I shot him fire balls and he was easily dodging it. I gritted my teeth.

"Hahahaha! Fool! You can't win against me with that state!"

I was panting but I didn't stop attacking him.

He attack me and I didn't even notice him. He use his one hand to shot me his huge shadow ball.

It was too late because it hit me.

"Aaarggghhh!" I yelped in pain.

Is this the end?

I couldn't even save my friends.

I couldn't even protect the Araguras.

Did I fail?

"Your a failure!"

Aera?

"I can't believe I trained from you! Your a loser! This world doesn't need you!"

No. Don't say that.

"I thought you were the strongest Elemental I know. It seems like I was wrong."

Lexus. No.

They're right. Why did I wish to save the Araguras in the first place?

I laughed bitterly to myself.

"It was just pure luck when you save Fylux."

Frea? You too?

I guess this is really the end of me. I failed. Again.

Forgive me Father, Mother. I couldn't avenge you. I'm a failure.

I will see you soon now.

I slowly close my eyes.

"I didn't choose you for nothing."
