The Advent Of The End

Chapter 10: Chronos

"I knew it would come to this" She said, tears dripping down her eyes as she continuously wiped it. "But, I failed to protect you again".

"Ummmm, who are you referring to miss?" Alicia asked, awkward and confused to the situation she has no idea of.

"Ahhh, nothing" She used her nightgown as her temporary handkerchief, wiping the remaining tears. "So, how are you feeling now?"

"Well" She opened and closed her hand "I feel a bit lighter and, my memories....." Her head ache, so much that she screamed in pain, her voice tore at the room and outside as well, making any people who heard her run in terror. Only the beautiful girl remained, clasping both ears to make the noise lessen a little. After a few seconds, she collapsed and slept again. Her hair slowly turning white down to its tip.

"Python venom" The girl bit her fingernail "I swear, I will hunt you whoever you are, and make sure you'll never see the light of dawn again"

"We'll see about that, old lady" He whispered, as he walked down the hallway to greet his victim on his *special* room.

>:T

"Freaking Marco, leaving me like that" Evan said, walking endlessly towards north, hoping that he could struck a village nearby and maybe he can ask directions or even...

"Ride a carriage...." He thought, as he lingered on his mind for quite sometime as he thinked of ways on how to deal an enemy, a monster, or would he survive.

After three days of wandering aimlessly, he has fought no monster so far and was on a pretty good start. He collected the remaining things he may need from the house like a bed, a racksack full of essential things he found at the floor after tearing it off in anger, and clothes that he will wear for one week at most, before he uses it for any means or gets destroyed by nature.

"Ahhhhhh, why does life seem like this...." Something trembled, which got him on his guard, expecting an enemy much more bigger than him. The trembling never stopped, as it almost felt like a tremor, making the ground noisy and a bit shaky in the process.

He moved around the trees, using his senses to track down the monster that made the ground tremble not too long ago, as he also used the tree for better sight and the advantage of the high ground, which makes ambushes a lot more easier.

He jumped from tree to tree, as he closed in near the source by detecting the sound of the trembling getting louder and louder as he move. After jumping from one tree to another, he heard a clang of a sword, which made him realize that the monster wasn't alone.

"A swordsman" He thought "I need to hurry up, or else that swordsman will get eaten before I can get info". He hurriedly jumped from tree to tree, being much more agile the more he moved, saving time but having the risk higher chances of being heard.

"I hope I'm not too late"

>:T

"Come at me you beast!" Someone shouted, trying to dodge the monster's needle while at the same time, blocking its claws and distancing himself away.

He has been fighting the beast for his estimation is about half an hour. After seeing the hunters getting massacred and eaten alive, he joined the fray and let the survivors escape before they too, become monster feed.

"I, Ezekiel Reige, will never let you get out of here alive"

"Wow" Someone clapped from the trees. "I never thought dialogue like that still existed".

"Who are you, stranger? SHOW YOURSELF!" He shouted, momentarily forgetting the monster right behind him, which cause him to be pinned down in the corner by getting smacked by its huge claw on his stomach. He flew down the nearest tree and got violently hit in the back, which made him unable to move for a bit. Using the advantage, the monster advanced on him, pinching its claws over and over again for the free meal given to it.
