A Love To Remember

A dark sword cut through my shoulder and blood started to ooze out from the wound. The wielder’s eyes were filled with fury and sinister; something that would slay me at any moment. She keeps on hunting me trying to obliterate my very existence in this dimension. With no hesitations in her soul, she swings her sword at a rapid speed against my swords which I tried to steady at a blocking position to defend me against her manic attacks. I dashed backward to give myself an ample space to stabilize my position and have a little breather against my nemesis. “Haaaaaa…..!” she swings her blade from a distance and a curved dark light come rushing through my direction. I jumped to elude that attack, then in a moment, an entity is already up ahead of me in the mid-air. Her sword, glowing in a dark radiance heavily landed in my swords as I tried to cover myself from that stealthy attack. I fell in the battlefield once more and been thrown at a distance after that powerful blow from my opponent. I get up with my feet trying to endure that agony for if I won’t, I’ll be slain for sure by her next impish blast against me. She raised her sword in an upright position while still floating in the air with her raging eyes fixed on me. A magical circle surrounded me and then in an instance, dark glowing sword fell in my direction. “Dance with my swords into deathhh!!!!!” I have to offer protection for myself against these lethal swords that would tear me into pieces if they would reach me. “Divine barrier!” I casted a protecting field against her attack giving me enough time to stand against it. Dust started to wrapped around me as the swords were kept from hitting me. After a moment, the attack ended and the earth’s powders started to clear up. I gawked at her again; her eyes were glowing crimson red. She’s deeply infuriated. Her lips moved as if she’s crooning something I can’t understand and clinched it with a sinister smile. The ground started to shudder and burst in my place and blinding dark lights surrounded me again and to my confusion I can’t move my body! “What’s with this…?” I writhed trying to escape that enmeshing power but then a succession of rays of murky lights started thumping me. “Aahhhhhhh…...!” I screeched in pain while the blitz of these lights keeps on going. They were like lightnings that pierce each part of my body…it’s painful and it’s scorching me alive! I’m losing my consciousness. My body has been greatly wearied against the battle before ours. I have to get out of this situation if I wanted to survive. Gathering the little magical energy left in me I casted a spell breaking power to stop this torment. “Haa… haa….” panting and gasping from that recent attack, I fell into my knees with so little life force left in me. I wanted to fight back but how hard I tried, I just simply can’t. I don’t have the strength to. I’d rather die than hurt her in any ways. It’s hard to do that. No, I can’t really do that. I can’t throw nor land any attacks on her; all I can is to evade and defend myself… Her attacks still never cease and won’t even give me some moment for rest. She keeps on throwing those crystal like pointed glowing dark objects towards me and all I can do is nullify them with my swords. A series of magical blasts had followed and luckily, I managed to jump in and out of that despairing moment. I'm starting to lose my stamina and energy to go on in this one-sided battle. Had fallen down in my knees several times after evading those deadly attempts. And now my head is bowed down as my knees trembled to stand up. “I’ll banish you from existence here and now!!!” a baleful scream she let out as she dashed towards my direction pointing her sword against me. I stood up but didn’t move a single step from where I am standing. I kept on looking at her as she’s fast approaching me hoping that she would be back to her normal state. Her eyes were surrounded with dark veins and her hair had turned white. Her clothing was replaced with a geometric printed body suit with a red and black dress coat adorned with glowing markings at each side supported by a belt which corsets her waist and a black cape at her back. She is surrounded by dark lights which her feet seem to merge. She’s very far from that simple girl I once first met in school. Her hopeful eyes were replaced with hatred filled vision. Her smiles fade and been overthrown by vengeful intent. Her calmness, my once safe refuge has now became a tempest of my hopes. Her sweet melodies now became my death sonata in this battleground. She’s no longer that girl I had fallen in love with… Am I then an i***t who insolently believes that there’s a way out for this despair? This will be my last-ditch bet; I’ll gamble everything on this. I know this would also be my last breath and moment with her. But this is the only way I’m left with. Save her or the world? Well I’m gonna save both. I’ll burn that goddamn fate into ashes. At the last drop of my life I’ll free her and the world from the grasp of darkness. That’s more than of a solace for this sacrificial act. With a slight smile of self-scorn, I think back of the years that had passed as her sword is about to hit me straight in my heart. Those years, 3 years ago. The moment everything started and ended up here….
