Dead Birthday's

Chapter 2 : Encounter Part 5

"All Noes have no heart in their bodies. So, the only way to kill them is to separate their heads from their bodies, my lord."

"I see... it means I just need to behead Noes..."

The Noes slowly approached me; I started to take my stance, and instead of being defensive, I launched myself at it, speeding up my speed to throw off the timing for my swing.

Right before my scythe came into contact with its body, a big punch struck and hit my left body, making me being thrown away and made my back hit the wall of the building and spit out blood from my mouth.

Felt the pain in my back, making it difficult for me to get back on my feet again. That Noes ignored me and soon it walked towards Alp.

I force myself to stand while my entire body trembles. I stood up using my scythe to support me; I right away dash towards it.

That orc Noes still hasn't noticed me yet, so I just waved my scythe, again, again, and again, so I made it wounded from behind.

I slash it so many times until it screams in pain.

The Noes started flipping, throwing his big blow fist to me. Before the blow hit me, I immediately jumped, until it made the hit-miss and hit the road. I swung the scythe and cut off his head.

Finally,

I saw it again, using my eyes to confirm whether it was alive or not. It turns out the black color of light enveloped his body.

"So, it's dead!"

Manes weapons disappeared. I felt relieved with a body full of bruises. With a feeling I want to rest.

I don't have time to rest; I have to take Alp to the hospital!

I walked limping to the hospital, carrying Alp by placing his hand around my neck to support him.

Alphonso Willis [Alp] POV:

What is happening! Why is it so dark here? The last time I remember was walking with Mort to an arcane game.

Ah, I'm remembering now. The rubbish that knocked out of a blast hit my head. From my current situation, it is like being immersed in Black Sea water that doesn't see its bottom.

I may be already dead. It's a shame that I died at a young age and haven't found a life partner.

Die virgin! Damn it! I hope at least I die after finding a girlfriend!

Suddenly a voice that I do not know said. "You're still dying, Alphonso Willis!" A small yellow light appeared before me.

Who is this voice? Ah! I can't get my voice out!

"I'm Indra, high spirit of lightning, I'm here to help you."

He can read my mind. Holder? What does it mean? I don't know; I want to get out of this endless darkness.

"Alright! For now, you can sleep! We will meet again tomorrow."

My consciousness faded; it made me sleep when I got my head full of questions. I couldn't resist it, for a moment I lost consciousness.

---

The next day, the doctor had already explained to me what happened; I was being hit by a flying rubbish and probably it got hit to my head. My both eyes discolored into gray; I don't know why... the doctor was confused. The doctor also tells me that Mort was the one who brings me here.

It looks like I'm troubling Mort to bring me here. I have to thank him later.

"Don't worry, he will definitely come here with my friend!" Suddenly a voice that I know spoke, I instantly turned my head towards the voice.

He was the one who spoke to me in my dream, a wise-looking man filled with the spark surrounding him. "You're Indra...?" I ask.

"Yes!" said while bowing. "You now become spirit Holder, so I must serve you."

What is he doing? Why is he bowing to me? What exactly is he talking about? Holder? And he serves me? I'm so confused!

He started straight back up. "Don't worry, your friend is coming and will explain all to you!"

My friend? Mort? Why will Mort explain to me? Did he know for a long-time what Indra meant? I am very confused now!

He looked toward the door where I heard Mort's voice on the other side of the door. "It appears that they have already arrived!"

The door was fully open, making me see my best friend standing there with his lower jaw dropping. It turned out that it was Mort. I saw Mort enter with someone in a dark robe. Who is it?

Mort Krueger POV:

I walked in the hospital hall, going to the Alp room where he was being treated, thinking will he be alright. It was very good that I took Alp to the hospital.

I waited until the treatment was over, but he was still unconscious yesterday. So, I came today after finishing school hours trying to see if he was okay.

But when I went home yesterday, my entire family started panicking at my body full of bruises, so it took me a long time to explain to them what had happened. Of course, I didn't talk about fighting with that disgusting Noes.

"Your friend will be alright, cause my friend is beside him now!" he stated.

"Yeah, I hope so..." I suddenly noticed some words that Manes said earlier. "Wait! Your friend?" I ask.

I had already arrived at Alp room; I slid the door and saw Alp is with someone. I look at it closer, that someone is a spirit!

"What is the Holder?" Alp Direct asks me.

That question made me realize that Alp is now the same as me. I approached him and pulled his face close to mine to see the condition of his eyes.

I inspected his eyes; I can see his eye turn into a gray color, that means he possessed Vita eyes on both of his eyes.

Then, I closed both my eyes and opened again and explained everything to Alp. I explain from when I had an accident and met Manes, about Noes, about Vita eye, and about yesterday's fight.

Also, I showed my left eye to him. He was a little hard to believe, but he accepted it slowly. Alp also introduced Indra to me that he is a high spirit of lightning.

"Too much information goes into my brain, makes my head hurt!" he holds his forehead while shaking his head.

I laugh. "I was the same when I first heard this."

"Oh, by the way Mort... Thank you for getting me here!"

"We're even now! The last time you were the one who took me to the hospital." I smile toward him with a raised eyebrow.

"That's right, now I feel tired, I need to rest..." Alp faces looking tired, maybe tired of taking all this recent information.

"Okay! Rest well, buddy!" I started walking out of the room to give Alp a time to rest. "Then I will go back now!"

When I was halfway to the exit, I turned back to Alp while smiling and gave him a light punch at his cheek and said. "Happy sixteenth birthday! Pals!"
