"Love Is Stronger"

Luna's POV

Carmina and I have been walking for a while now.

"We've been walking for like YEARS where are we going Carmina?" I whined at her.

"Shh...we are here...don't make a loud noise or you'll wake him up.." she whispered back to me.

Huh? Wake who up? Was it a monster? Cause if so, I can beat it easily. However, I was wrong..

There stood a humongous figure infront of me. I was frozen, it was snoring as it was asleep and had a sword full of blood.

"C-carmina..what is that?" I quietly asked her.

"It's an Amarok...a mythical creature from what I found..." she whispered back to me.

"H-how am I gonna kill this thing?" I quietly screamed at her. I covered my face with my hands to the thought of not succeeding.

Then, the ground started to shake. I looked up to see the creature standing up as its eyes landed straight at me.

Shivers were sent to every inch of my body. I haven't been scared over a monster in my life, except for him.

Then the creature picked up its sword and swung it at me. Luckily, I dodged him and jumped to the side. He may be huge but, his movements aren't as fast as I thought it was.

With a quick pace, I chanted Enchantress and striked him with my strongest spell.

Smoke was formed because of my shot. Then, I whipped out my sword and strikes him without hesitating.

Each strike caused my sword to crack. This have never happened before but, if this helps me kill this creature then, backing out is not an option.

I've striked him so much that my sword finally gave up and, shattered to pieces along with a piece of my heart. This sword was a gift from amber as well, it was precious and very helpful to me.

I strongly landed with my chest pumping in and out from my heavy breathe intakes. It felt like I have used up all my energy.

Then, the smoke started to disappear.

I fell hard on my knees with my mouth opened and my eyes blinking so much.

NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH

All of the attacks I threw, as well as the spells. NOTHING.

The creature dusted himself and grinned at me. With the energy I have left, I trapped him in my cube.

The monster was banging on the cube causing pain to flow in me.

"C-carmina, how am I gonna beat this thing" I tried to get the words out of my mouth as I held the pain.

"That's the thing...I don't know" She said as sadness echoed her voice

"W-what do you mean?? YOU CASTED HIM HERE!!!" I said as I groaned in agony.

"L-look, when I casted myself in the necklace, it was already here. Some people was placed here to but, no one defeated it." She said as she panicked.

The monster was getting more vigilant. I screamed in pain as I was losing all my energy.

"LUNA! There was one thing that creature said before killing the person before you!" She quickly screamed at me.

"Well aren't ya GONNA FUCKING TELL ME OR LET ME DIE HERE" I raged at her as I sustained the pain.

"I was there that time when your eyes showed love" she said to me.

Love? That time? What is this monster on? Crack? That time...that time...!!!

Then an idea popped in my head.

"CARMINA HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR HUSBAND!!" I screamed at her as my cube started to shatter bits by bits.

"I-it was by a river between the castle of the onyx and the v-village. I saw him getting water....For the first time in my life, when he looked at me. He didn't show fear." Her words trailed off...

I opened my mouth to say something but, the cube broke and the creature got out. I flew and dropped on the ground really hard.

Carmina ran to me.

"I-it's h-him. Let him e-explain." I tried to get the words out of my mouth.

Carmina's POV

"I-it's h-him. Let him e-explain." were the words that made me confuse.

If that monster really is my husband then...why would he kill those people.

I need answers.

I slowly and carefully lowered Luna's body down. I stood up and walked to the creature with its sword on his hand, ready to slice my head.

If it's really you, then tell me what happened that day my love.

"Leo, tell me what happened" I said as I walked up to the creature.

With my surprise, it kneeled down to my level and allowed my to caress its fur.

Then a familiar voice that I once loved to hear was heard out of no where.

"C-Carmina...my love, that day in the village. Y-Your father placed a spell on me. He made me do things I would NEVER do to you my love. After you cast yourself here again, I was happy I came with you. I'm now connected to you Carmina. This evil curse your father placed me, made me a monster. Help me Carmina" His sweet voice said.

My eyes were getting blurry as little bits of tears were dropping.

"H-how? T-tell me LEO" Eagerly I said to him.

"The sword, stab me" He said.

"B-but if I do that you-","trust me okay? Please, there's no time left" he begged me.

I used my magic to life the heavy sword and dropped it on him. Not a doubt, it stabbed him.

I cried on realizing what I just did. Thoughts after thoughts, roamed in my head.

Then, white lights started to appear one by one.

A bundle of them started to lift Leo's body up. A flash of light appeared that made me to close my eyes.

"C-carmina?" I heard the same familiar voice.

"L-leo? I-is it really y-you?" I said as I tried to held my tears back.

I saw him nod his head as I ran to his opened arms.

Luna's POV

I groaned in pain as I tried to sit up.

"Huh? What did I miss?" I said as I continue to scratch my head.

"Luna! Thank you!" Carmina came in running and hugged me.

I was surprised on what was going on. Am I dreaming?

"Because of your help, I found out the truth. Also, let's go save your friends" she said with a huge grin as a man popped up behind her as he waved at me.

A huge smile appeared on my face as I nodded my head.
