It has been over few days of hiding now. I no longer travel around to look for my king. I fear becoming close to someone, only to lose them later.

I have been hiding my aura and reliving his memory again and again.

Exchanging memories makes people very close, a part of one another. I am tired of it. I cannot bear it any longer. It must be fate of my people and me to get erased forever.

I cannot run forever. I too can sleep like my people forever.

They would need another royal to find me again. But I want to take fight to them instead of hiding and running.

I determine and move out, revealing my aura, on middle of wide ocean.

I will fight by myself.

The power runs through me as crystal Armor grows with fine weapons. This time I put all energy inside myself. They will regret this.

Soon I can see, multiple portals opening around me. Big crystal mountains protrude out of ocean surface.

Hundreds of crystal guards stand upon them. But this time I will not run.

I raise my big crystal sword. Lightening starts flowing through it and fight starts.

With wide sweep I cut at mountain. The energy released destroys a part of mountain with dozens of crimson guards.

Boom!

Others close in on me. I make shock wave around me, and they are repelled.

Earth shakes, dark clouds cover the sky with winds and big waves are formed as battle continues.

Some crimson guards die and more of them come. They are no danger to me. But I am getting tired. And then a small portal opens and dozen royals come from it into the battlefield.

Minor crimson guards move out to block any path of my running.

I am not running anyway. They grow Armor and weapon too.

Just few seconds of staring between us.

Thump....

With continuous sonic booms we meet at centre.

Crash.......

Sea, air, clouds and even crystal mountains are blown out with our impact.

In fraction of second, hundreds of blows are exchanged. Few of them explode in shreds.

I too am slightly injured. I raise my sword for last attack with all my left energy.

Before sword could fall. They attacked once again. But my sword even appearing slow falls on them first like giant wave.

Boom!......

Even bigger explosion than before happens. Even faster and stronger. Brightness overpowers the surrounding. I killed everyone. But badly hurt by backlash.

My body full of cracks stands alone in sky. But crimson guards which were away again approach me.

They ready their weapon. I am tired but I still lift my sword.

I raise my head, remembered my family, my people and the ones who shared life with me.

I roar with my anger, frustration and helplessness. My roar echoes everywhere.

Then I saw a flash. A tiny flash falling from sky with few others behind it.

Light and heat covers me. I close my eyes and go to last sleep.
