1650 Words
Hanayuki makes a fighting stance. She cast her spell called Lightning speed.
Lightning speed is Hanayuki's spell boost giving her the ability to move as fast as lightning.
It's seen in her fight with Pithon, but during that time the spell is not in its full potential yet. Lightning speed Hanayuki use is just roughly 20 percent.
"Lenny?"
Lia said.
The memories of Lia taking of her flashback toward Hanayuki's head.
"Sorry! Lia! Lightning speed!"
Hanayuki jumps toward Lia and attacked with a right kick.
The kick directly hit Lia in the neck. It's so tough Hanayuki needs to go and make some distance.
"Normally that kick will put sleep to my opponent. When I kicked her neck I feel like I kick a boulder of metal."
Lia has regeneration skills. Making the hole in her body disappeared.
"Lenny?"
"I said I'm not Lenny! Lightning blade strike."
The lightning makes a roaring sound making some of the fogs disappeared in the forest.
The night like atmosphere started to fade.
Ren even notice the lightning from Hanayuki and decided to follow the direction.
"That Lightning... Hanayuki is in the middle of battle."
Ren said and continue to run with Lenny in his back.
Hanayuki and Lia battle continue.
It's rough to say it, as a battle because Hanayuki is the only one attacking.
Lia didn't use any attack spell or decided to hurt Hanayuki.
Instead, Lia keeps on calling Hanayuki Lenny. With tears in her eyes.
Hanayuki is also sad that things turn into this, but she needs to do it for the sake of the children and their respective parents.
"Lightning heavenly spear!"
The huge stoke of lightning blasted a huge part of the forest killing most of the monsters in the area.
Hanayuki fights avoiding to hurt the children who are still asleep.
With those things in mind. Hanayuki charges toward Lia and grabs Lia tosing her to the part away from the children.
"Lenny..."
"Stop it... Stop it already... Stop it..."
Lightning strike thor's stomp!
While in the mid-air Hanayuki stomps Lia toward the ground.
the impact of the landing makes a little magnitude in the forest making the birds fly up in the sky and some monster goes running away.
As the smoke of dust faded.
Hanayuki is sawed in the top of Lia who is lying on the ground.
Lia reached out for Hanayuki and whip Hanayuki's tears.
"Hanayuki or Lenny... You're still my little princess..."
Lia said.
Hanayuki cried dramatically. Her tears fall to Lia's cheeks. Hanayuki looks at Lia's face and saw Lia's smiling face that she used to love.
There's nothing to hear but cry in that area.
Lia get up and hugged Hanayuki.
"Hanayuki... Thank you for giving me such a wonderful dream. Those dreams you give me are very precious. It brings back my sanity and understanding of life. You saved me with your dream world. Thank you. If you wanted to kill me then, you can do it now."
"Don't say that... I'm not a killer. You did this because you miss your daughter so much right. I also sense a curse flowing inside of you. You're not originally a demon right?"
"Demon... I see you have some knowledge about us. I may look like a fairy but I'm a demon breed. You're a bright child Hanayuki."
Said Lia.
They get up and then from Lia's left side and a flame appeared.
"Blazing assassination s***h!"
Ren appeared and use his sword to cut Lia's head.
Lia immediately uses her string for a cage covering her and Hanayuki.
"This strings sure is tough... Hanayuki are you okay?"
Asked Ren.
"Stop Ren, She came back to her sense now. No need to kill her!"
Hanayuki said.
"That thing is a fairy that killed children, killing her is for the greater good of many."
"Stop Ren!"
Hanayuki yelled toward Ren.
Then Lenny who is in Ren's back saw Lia.
Lenny immediately goes down and jump into Lia's arms.
"Mother!"
Lia hugged Lenny immediately.
"I'm so sorry Mama... I'm such a bad girl back then."
"This smell and crest in your neck. You really are the real Lenny... Don't say that, don't say that Lenny... Having my two daughters beside me makes me really happy."
A heartwarming view of mother and daughter separated by fate finally reunite.
Ren doesn't need further explanation and puts his sword back to his scabbard.
In Hanayuki's eye, 's the curse started to fade in rose color.
To break Lia's curse something impossible just happened. It's to meet her daughter and be filled with love.
During in dream world Hanayuki live about seven years with Lia.
Hanayuki's dream of a happy family makes this a possibility. Lia is filled with Hanayuki's love. Making the curse effect near zero. Bringing back Lia's sanity and humanity.
…
Now that fate brings Lia and the real Lenny together the curse broke little by little and Lia is about to go back to her former self as a human.
But suddenly.
"Holy spear of light!"
A spear of light cast toward Lenny's back makes a stab through Lia's body.
The spear magic is cast behind Lenny so that Lia will never notice it.
Ren is consumed by Lia and Lenny's reunion they didn't notice either.
Chains from somewhere bind Hanayuki and Ren.
The knights came to assist them down and don't even let Ren and Hanayuki move.
The one pushing pressing Ren down to the soil is the berserker named Benedict.
"I can't cast magic."
Ren said.
"That's normal my armor is created with white metal. White metal negates magic."
Same with Ren, Hanayuki can move.
Lia became aware of the knight's surrounding her.
Lia uses her strings to kill some of the knights. The string is so powerful breaking the armor of the knight slicing them like butter.
Princess Yusael makes a move and pulls her sword.
"Continue or else I will cut the head of this girl.
Princess said pointing a white sword at Hanayuki.
Yusael look to Hanayuki.
"Fairy you don't want your child to be killed right... We already killed your first one."
Lia's strings faded.
"Lia..."
Hanayuki said with a worried tone.
"It's okay Hanayuki... the spear already made a huge hole in my body. In my body, I won't last any longer anymore. I don't want to do further violence."
Lia said and Hugged Lenny who is bleeding with her.
"Mama... I'm glad we reunite again."
"Me too Lenny-chan... Princess doesn't hurt Hanayuki and I will not fight anymore."
Lia's regenerative ability stop. Making her bleed like a normal human.
The light in their eye's started to fade.
"Don't worry fairy... I will end you're suffering. Knights prepared the wave of arrows."
Yusael signals her hand.
The knight's bowman surrounding Lia fire arrows at both Lia and Lenny.
"Mother I love you."
"Same here, Lenny."
Killing Lenny and Lia.
"I don't know what Lenny did before but this is straight wrong to use an innocent kid."
Ren said.
Hanayuki cried and shout.
While seeing the cruel ending of Lia and Lenny.
"You're a heartless princess! You are a piece of s**t! You killed a kid your no different from those monsters and demons."
Hanayuki said in a raging tone.
"How dare you do that to princes..."
"Stop Benedict! That little girl doesn't know what's black and white. She still has an inmature mindset. The mission is to cut the head and bring it to the castle. The princess trial ended now. We can rest tomorrow."
Yusael said and whip the saliva in her cheeks with her handkerchief.
She turns her back and walks away.
"Of course... I know that..."
Yusael whispers and lets out tears.
...
The fog faded in the forest. The sleeping children wake up and got rescue by the royal knights.
Some of the child return and some are not.
The town of Lilia is in a mixture of happiness and grief.
After the battle, we find out that many of the knights are killed my monsters and Lia in the forest.
Out of 3,000 Royal knights and 2,000 knights in training. Only 156 Knight's are alive.
Lia is really a strong foe.
After that, the knight's do the job and clear the monster in the forest.
The strong monster is taken care of by Yusael by herself. She even killed the predator plant by herself with one swing of her sword.
With the princess's help, the town and the forest became normal again.
But something will never be fixed.
Hanayuki is currently with Ren in the same spot Lenny and Lia died. They make sure to give them a proper burial and send them prayers.
Unexpectedly.
The princess came with flowers and offer them to Lia and Lenny. She even prays for them.
Hanayuki hated the princess and it's obvious by now. Hanayuki is currently gazing at Yusael in sharp eye's.
"I'm sorry for what I did, but it has to be done to end your suffering. And the suffering of the child..."
"What are you saying?"
Asked Hanayuki to the princess.
"The curse the fairy have is a demon curse... Once it's broken the bearer will explode. Whipping out the entire surrounding... I did the best for everyone. Can you still blame me? Assassin little sister."
Yusael said
"She is not my little sister."
Ren replied.
"Then don't tell me... Gasp, You're a couple, that means assassin is into little girls?"
"Of course not, don't misunderstand me."
"That's right we are just friends... In what you did earlier to Lenny, I still don't like it even you have those explanations."
Hanayuki said.
"You really hate killing I guess, I envy you with your innocent thinking and mindset... Then, I will pray the two of them to find peace in the afterlife."
Yusael said and look to the tomb of Lia and Lenny.
