The Wavering Hawk [ENGLISH]

P22. Choice

That girl's size was not as big as my arms combined.

She was as small as one of my arms. I could easily split her in two with raw power. Yet, she fought bravely to the end, refused to give up, but pathetically fell to the snowy ground, taint the white glistening snow with stench of red-cold-blood.

It was repeated again. On the same day. Her death imagery and Bryans were overlapped, nothing seemed better. Both of them were as just horrible as each other.

"Now, then." Dimitri stood and stepped on Fatima's dead body as if she was a garbage. "Let's go back to Alliance. His Eminence was looking for you."

"DIMITRI!"

I grabbed Gleipnir, as hard as I could, let my blood fell to the ground as I stood up, fighting against the reign of chains on me. But Gleipnir's force was too strong. It grabbed all of my limbs, as if wanted to tear them apart. It pushed me so far to the point that I have to released Lohengrin, let that weapon fell with a low thud to the snow.

"You really would go under heavy reparation." Dimitri came close to me. He stepped on Fatima's head, crushed her head in one move. "Fall upon one death. You're beyond pathetic."

As the blood covered the snow, any words that was about to come from my mouth was suddenly disappeared. It might be his power again, but what he said was not entirely false either. We were on mission to wipe out humanity and take over this planet.

That was only two people, I couldn't compare it to anyone I've killed so far. Insignificant number.

Why did I was so enraged with their death?

Something sank inside me, swallowing up the rest of me entirely. My body still. Unable to move. Not even had any will to move.

Who was actually the enemy?

Who was right and who was wrong?

Multiple shot rained us both. One of the bullet injured Azrael. I looked up and saw a heliot floating down with tens of drones fought with it. The drones quickly dispersed and fought against our beasts. From the heliot, a girl descended. She wore a grey vest like Union's army and held a gun.

What a familiar face. Did Dimitri created this in my mind too?

"Stop right there!"

No. Could it be false? Her voice, her face, even her act was similar.

"You have violated dozens rules of a war!" That lady said, fearlessly. "Now, back off or I had to shoot you."

"By any means, Miss Melista." Dimitri stretched out his hands nonchalantly. "That's what I'd like to say, but it seems you got an interesting toy over there."

A lot of people descended from tens of heliopter behind her. Tanks and panzer followed suit. Badge of Union engraved on their steel body. Dimitri put down his arms. His expression was indifferent but I knew, deep inside, he was infuriated.

"You planned to turn this area into a battlefield." Dimitri sighed as he ripped off his uniform, revealed his unhealed wounds, a condition that bring an utter shock to me. "Nice shot."

I looked at Reana who not even smiling. She just looked determined. Her finger curled up against the trigger, ready to pull it on second shot. That gun might just be an ordinary gun, but she used that bullet from Union, which means she came with Union. And she just shot one of the high command of Alliance, all by herself.

"Reana, watch out!"

With all strength left, I jumped and reached her, right at the moment to push her down before Dimitri took a step forward and slices my back in the process.
