Encounter 1: A Glint of Hope

{Euirhiel's Point of View}

         The sky's dark... The path we're running to feels eerie... We push through the way to hide and escape from those monsters...

The monsters they called Aorga... A beings from a distant world that came here after The Breakdown... I'm one of the survivors along with my younger brother... We saw a cave and hide on it... Luckily it rained... It disrupts the Aorga's senses...

"We'll be staying here for now...", I said as they rest.

"Where will be going after this?",Airand asked.

"I don't know... Anywhere... Just far from here...", Jenna said almost crying.

               My brother, Ellion, rub her back to comfort her... I look at Fujimura-sensei and saw hershivering in cold... I hand my cloak to her...

"Fujimura-sensei... Do you have a map?", I asked. She gave me her bag.

              I saw the trails of an abandon station... I went to Aaron for the schematics...

"Didn't they say that the next location is at Kominora somewhere?", I asked for comfirmation.

             They all nod... I explained the plan... We would partake the route of the subway station to go underground and went there in the shortcut...

We will be going tomorrow morning... For now rest is must... We might encountered some Aorgas on the way... I need to lead them to safety... We need to survive... The other Orphange members have move first already. They're with the other immagrants with the task force but I'm worried... I don't trust the government... After all what happened... We can only depend on ourselves now... we sleep a bit... I remained a bit awake...

         It's morning already... I knew even if there's no ball of light called sun... It's a bit clearer than before...

"Let's get going...", I shortly said. We all stood up to continue walking...

"After this what would we do then?", Jenna asked me. I shut my eyed and smiled a bit.

"Even if we don't know... we should move forward... forward towards the future... and besides isn't it much more fun if the future is uncertain?", I smiled jokingly to enlighten her. It did she smiled along with the others.

We can only hope... and move forward... Then suddenly Airand cleared his throat... We looked at him... He rub his neck and looked at me...

"Since I don't know what would happen then I'll take this opportunity to say what I have to say... Euirhiel...", he stated... But I felt something...

Stolen story; please report.

"I L - -"

"GET DOWN!!!!", I shouted at them.

We all ducked and I saw an Aorga... It's a parasite type... An Aorga that takes the form of an octopus... A sentinal robotic octopus...

I push them away... I throw a block on the Aorga... I caught it's attention... They we're shocked and trembling in fear... I took a metal left on the railway...

"Airand!Ellion!!! Get away from here!! Run to the evacuation!!! Now!!!", I shouted at them to awake them.

Airand nod and took Fujimura-sensei with him as Ellion took Jenna with Aaron following them behind... Before they get caught... I attack it with the metal bar to deflect it's tentacles...

I hit the crack part and some of the debris fell between me and them... But before they're gone... I heard Airand...

"Promise me, you'll be back!!!", he said. I smirked and nod.

"Since when I break a promise", I stated and saw my brother Ellion smile as they went away.

          I faced the monster and smirked as I throw some debris on its top... The one core... I dodge it's attacks.. I get swept away by one of its tentacles but it's the plan...

I grab on it and throw the metal bar on it's top, right to the glowing part...

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

         It screeched in pain... It's power lessens but... It's still alive?!!! It has another core??!!! A fusioned one then? This is bad... I notice the other core... It's on the mouth... Below the hat like thing head of it...Tch!!

I need to retreat... But I was hit on my left arm from the last attack... I dodge the tentacles but I step on a cracked floor... Crap!!!

It cracks and I fell down... I'm faling down in the darkness... Is this the end? Am I going to die? I slowly closed my eyes from blood loss... as I was still falling down... This is bad I'm losing my conciousness...

Flash of images of those I care came to me... Ellion, My brother... Airand... Fujimura-sensei... Jenna and Aaron... Onii-chan...

          My eyes are closed... Darkness is engulfing me... I can't feel anything...

----------------------------------------

"Don't leave me...", he said tugging my sleeve as he's soaking wet from the rain and crying.

"Don't worry leave it to me... I'll will protect you.. I promise I'll live and will be at your side... I promise...", I pinky swear at him as he nod and finally smiling.

"Then I promise too, I'll survive with you...", he said smiling. I nod and smiled... I promise...

----------------------------------------

I instantly opened my eyes and look around... I saw chains connected up... I enclapsed the rubber bracelet that Onii-chan gave to me... I throw it towards the chains and grab tightly as I was continously falling... I can see the end then I release from it to fell down freely... I'm still alive...

             I promise Ellion and everyone... I'll be back... And I don't break a promise... I felt my injury... I need to prevent the blood loss... I took off my jacket then rip off my shirt... Luckily I saw a pits of water... I wash the shirt then rub it on my injured arm... Then I bandage it... To close the wound... Then I was off my jacket with a blood stain...

Then I felt a presence... I instantly tense and went on my stance, not minding that I'm half naked... I look around there's nothing... I let my guard down but still cautious then Ifelt it again... A thumping life... What's that??

        I started walking andtrusting my intuition to find that thing... I don't know what it is... But it feels surreal...

I accidentally touch something metalic then it lights... A capsule like thing... With a captivating light inside... Acrystalize capsule...

It's shining... I can't properly see it... Then I adjusted my eyes and slowly see... What's this feeling? It's not bad or eerie... Its starting to grow on me...

A light... Glistening... It's only a peck of it... Then I realize... Maybe that thing... Is a...
