The Advent Of The End

Chapter 15: Eyes of the Void

"Keep it a secret from the others" Minon stared at her dead in the eye. "Especially Alicia and Mazra, as they don't need to know for them to be protected".

Ophelia nodded in agreement and fear, as she removed her hands from her shoulders and distanced herself away. She kneeled afterwards.

"Yes, your majesty" she replied. She opened the door and gone out of the room, while Minon continued to gaze at her people, thinking of how happy and cheerful they are even if not guaranteed with a long life. Ophelia looked back one last time at her queen, before closing the door, and leaving her all alone. She continued to walk on the corridors till someone called her name.

"Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia" Someone said, as it echoed across the room.

"Who's there?" Ophelia shouted, looking everywhere on the room, but she didn't found the one who called her. Then, someone whispered behind her back, and she became possessed by an utter of a word.

"You might have forgotten me after that mage saved you" A cloaked figure answered behind her, while she has been left in a lifeless state, forced to serve her master at every order. "But the curse I gave you still flows within you till this day" A black hand grabbed her shoulder, like coal on a sea bed because of her blue armor, and pulled her closer to him. He licked her in the face and the girl didn't felt disgusted nor a feeling of fighting back. She felt nothing at that moment.

"Serve me once more as you once did" The guy spoke, vanishing on the floor. "Elia". Afterwards, he was gone. There was no trace of him being there, while Ophelia returned back to her former, proud self. Not realizing that she was already possessed by a curse from long ago, and returned back on her duties as a general of the Celestial kingdom.

"Weird" She rubbed her hand to her face, and felt a sticky liquid on her cheek. She continued walking along corridor, analyzing whatever is in her left cheek.

>:T

The leaves blew from the intense air pressure that came from both fists of Pierre and the buff guy. Both had a direct hit right in the face, but both were left unscathed from the attacks.

"Go.....Pierre..." Ezekiel barely said, beaten and bruised by a single blow from the guy. He felt useless and cursed his weakness for he cannot even help Pierre, nor protect Miranna. The battle continued on...

"I see you're pretty strong yourself" The buff guy said, not flinching after getting a solid hit from the face.

"I can sense it as well" Pierre replied, grabbing the arm that punched his face. "But" He tossed the arm away and landed a hit on the buff guy's stomach. His eyes narrowing in anger. "Not strong enough".

The buff guy took the hit head on, and coughed a bit of blood in the process. Still, he stood, as the pressure from the first is seemingly transmitted to the ground, as a crater formed beneath him.

"Not bad, not bad" The buff guy replied. He returned the favor and punched again using his right arm on Pierre's face. He flew from it and made the trees he hit stumble into the ground. But, the buff guy continued the combo and caught up to him, only for him to high kick Pierre on the chest and the guy got up on the sky. The buff guy caught up, intertwining both hands at each other, landing a solid blow from Pierre's back.

He didn't fought back and landed directly back to the ground, creating a massive crater in the process. The buff guy stood at his side, looking down at the boisterous fool who challeneged him.

"Oy, oy" He kicked Pierre from the side. "What happened to all that talk you had a while ago?" He mocked him "All of that just for noth...." His legs lost their strength as he just realized that Pierre did a leg sweep and the buff guy fell to the ground. "Sorry If I let you down" Pierre said, sitting on top of the buff guy and repeatedly punch him, while the buff guy tried to block it using both his arms to cover his face. Pierre continued punching.
