We Will See Again In...

BOOM!
Crackle_!
Violent explosions rang out and flames roared on the snowy ground.
The snow was melting because of the fierce flames.
The explosions caused the snow to fly through the air.
Even though there was a violent blizzard, it wasn't enough against the destruction and flames around. Blood was painting the white ground red.
Amidst this destruction, a beautiful young woman was kneeling on the ground, hugging a golden-haired man in her embrace.
The man's face was deathly pale and blood was covering every inch of his body. A gape was visible on his chest where his heart should have been.
He was dead.
"So-Soren...? Pl-Please...Do-Don't l-leave me alone..."
The woman was crying and her body was shuddering from either the cold or pain or both. Her beautiful grey hair was tainted with red and dirt.
"So-Soren...!" She hugged him tightly and continued to call him like a broken record.
"He is dead, Runa..."
A man suddenly appeared a few meters from her. He was in extremely bad shape. It seemed like he could die at any moment as several deep gashes were covering his body.
Looking at the dead man in the woman's embrace, a hint of guilt passed through his eyes.
"Y-You!"
When the crying woman saw the man, a dense amount of killing intent flowed out of her.
"H-He was your brother!"
She shouted while glaring at him, then turning back toward Soren, she cried.
"H-He was my everything...!"
"Stop whining! Will you!"
Another man appeared near the first one.
He was also in a deadly state, his breathing was ragged and he glared at the dead man.
"This bastard was really a monster!"
He spat out while covering his stomach with his hand where blood was seeping out from a huge gash.
'Killing me will not stop me from killing you one day, Alfred.'
He got chills just remembering his last words, and stare at him.
The woman ignored him and stared expressionlessly at the man in her embrace.
"Alfred..."
The first man glared at the second one for his behavior.
"Hmpf! Don't try to rebuke me when you are the one who dealt the final blow!"
Alfred snorted at his mate.
The latter lowered his head and murmured.
"It was necessary..."
"Yeah, yeah whatever! I'm just glad he is dead, but what about her ?"
Alfred waved his hand and spoke, pointing at Runa. Then he smirked.
"She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I'm sure she will be a good bargaining ship for our future deals! What do you think?!"
Alfred asked his mate in an excited tone.
But the moment he said that, Runa came out of her frozen state and opened her eyes wide.
"Never...!"
She murmured and a bright reddish-purple energy shot out of her body, forming a pillar of energy reaching heaven.
Her before grey hair turned snow white and her hazel eyes were now a mesmerizing pair of reddish-purple eyes.
Alfred and his mate dreaded the ominous energy they never saw and jumped back.
"Wh-what the hell is that?!"
Alfred shouted with a pale face.
His instincts were screaming at him to not approach the energy.
"I-I don't know!"
His mate replied with a horrified expression and looked at Runa.
Runa ignored them and stroked her beloved's cheek with a sad smile.
The red energy shrouded little by little the both of them.
'I will found a kingdom just for the two of us, Runa.'
The words he had said to her in the past were still deeply etched on her heart.
"I-I wanted to spend more time together..."
She said as tears spilled again from her eyes.
Soon the red energy covered both of them entirely and their bodies started to disappear slowly in a reddened sparking energy.
Starting from the bottom, their bodies were dissipating slowly.
As the energy neared their heads, Runa hugged Soren tightly again and spoke her last words with a quivering voice.
"W-We will see again Soren..."
She closed her eyes and smiled.
"...in Valhalla."
BOOM!
A huge explosion rang out and their bodies vanished into thin air...

"Hmm...?"
Inside a small cave-like space, a burly man was thinking.
It had now been more than two months, he started to t*****e the hero he got from his boss.
Until yesterday, all that happened was perfect.
After a month of t*****e, the boy stopped pleading and didn't talk anymore. He knew that it was useless and it was just a matter of time before he killed him.
So he would just let out painful groans each time the burly man harmed him, which was normal.
But this morning, Orion started to act strange, which confused the man.
He would mutter incomprehensible words and names like Alfred or Runa. Strangely, even the tone of his voice changed.
Previously, his tone was rather high-pitched and submissive, but now it was sharp and calm.
Now he doesn't even react anymore.
Orion continued to mutter the same words like a broken record.
Honestly, even the torturer was creeped out by the current Orion. He had tortured plenty of people until now and nobody showed a strange reaction like Orion.
At first he thought Orion had become crazy, but no. He was an expert in this domain and would know it if it was that.
It was something else but he couldn't understand what.
Unfortunately, he couldn't inform his boss about that, as he was strictly ordered to t*****e Orion until he called him.
The torturer turned toward Orion. His face was hidden by his unkempt shoulder-length black hair.
Around the chair was a pool of blood from the t*****e. Fingers and nails were scattered around. Anyone entering this place would throw up from the strong smell of blood and gruesome scenery.
"Runa, wait for me...I will kill Alfred...join Runa to Valhalla...kill Ubbe..."
"What the hell..."
The torturer stepped back.
******************
In a sublime room of the Solaria Palace.
"Salazar, are you sure the matter of the useless Hero is solved ?"
Baino, a Duke of the Solaria Empire asked.
"Yeah. It will be over soon. I had already placed a trap there. This i***t torturer and the brat will be burned alive."
Salazar said with a smirk.
"Is that all ? What about Lunarstella ?!"
Baino asked in an impatient voice.
"Shut up Baino."
Salazar glared at Baino.
"Y-yes sorry, I was just worried."
Baino said with a pale face.
Salazar smiled and replied while drinking his glass.
"Evidence that the knights of Lunarstella caused the death of this brat will be found in the rift two weeks from now."
"Two weeks ?! You mean...!"
"You understand now. You wanted a reason to destroy the truce, then I created one using that brat."
Salazar smiled wickedly.
"Solaria will have a reason to hate Lunarstella and Lunarstella will also have it soon for Solaria."
