“You can’t run away from me!”

A person clad in darkness declared as he chased after a heavily injured young man. The young man was bleeding from his chest that was pierced only a few inches away from the heart. The young man although wanting to live and survive this ordeal can’t stop fatigue from kicking in.

The blood loss and exhaustion coupled with the freezing cold of the night the young man dropped to the ground like a rug.

The pursuers shadow stopped only a few inches away from the young man and slowly unsheathed his blade.

“You finally stopped”

The shadow said as he walked towards the young man slowly. The shadow walked in a jagged manner as even he has used up a lot of energy just to chase after the young man. But in the eyes of the man the shadow looked like a demon of hell slowly coming closer.

“Why?”

The young man asked in a feeble voice as he raised his eyes to glimpse at the shadow face.

“Why you ask? Isn’t it very clear to you why someone would take your life?”

The shadow answered angrily as he raised his sword preparing to slash down at the young man’s neck. The young man seeing this sighed as his expression turned solemn as he accepted his death. The shadow noticing the change in the young man exploded in anger and stabbed the sword on the ground next to the young man's face.

“Aren’t you going to kill me?”

The young man asked the shadow, hearing the young man’s words the shadow was startled and stomped at the ground angrily.

“You’re gonna die you know! Do you understand what this even means?”

“Yes, with my death you’ve proven to the world that you are the strongest… Al”

The shadow nodded at first but hearing the name that the young man uttered. He reflexively got mad and retorted, “How many time do I have to tell you it’s Allston!”

“haha! you never change do you, my friend”

The man named called Allen finally discovered that his cover was blown. He used his [shadow assault] skill to sneak up on the young man and kill him. It is also a fact that these two people are friends, very close one’s at that.

“For you to find out who I am…”

“Now now, Allen it was pretty obvious from your skill [shadow assault] and also the way you reacted to my stupid question. In the whole world even the most powerful assassins or figures would show respect to me even when they issue a challenge. Among all the people in this world only you would talk to me in that manner”

“Ugh, I don’t care anymore because this day will be your last Golm!”

As Allen said this, the sound of something huge cutting through the air was heard. He reflexively looked up and what he saw made him click his tongue.

“Even in the verge of death you are still able use this spell… just what I would expect from you, Golm”

“This shouldn’t have been used if I knew earlier that you were the enemy. If I knew I would have happily accepted my death”

“Hmph! Don’t look down on me I can run away from this easily”

Though just as Allen tried to escape he was snared by dark tentacles that came out of the ground. The tentacles wrapped around his whole body leaving only his head outside. “What’s this?!” Allen asked angrily as he glared at Golm.

“I made this as I fell a pretty great trap wouldn’t you agree, I don’t think even in at my best would I be able to make something like this. The seal is the darkness style [soul shackles]  and the approaching meteorite is my light style [starfall]. In all honesty both of us will meet our ends here”

Allen was speechless, his old friend/rival/enemy is able to create something like this at the verge of death in his weakest state. But he on the other hand was could not even kill Golm. This made him feel even more anger, jealousy and frustration as he roared to the heavens.

“WHY IS IT ALWAYS HIM! I’VE BEEN DOING MY BEST BUT WHY? Why is it always Golm who get’s everything”

His anger turned to sorrow as tears streamed down his face.

“What do you mean that I get everything?”

Golm asked Allen and to this, “You have everything you could want money, strength and… love. How could you understand me huh!. Since we were kids we always competed against one another but every time you win and become stronger”

Hearing those words Golm remembered the past, he indeed won every time and he does live a better and fulfilled life than than Allen. But that didn’t happen due to fate. Understanding the source of his friends hate he said, “I didn’t get everything you know”.

With that Allen got even more angered, “You say that but have you ever lost  a person you loved so dear?”

“Trisha, Alex, Lina, Luna and Claire” Golm replied as the dying words of all five women echoed in his head. Allen on the other hand remembered those days when he saw the five girls lying lifeless on his rivals arms. On that day Golm had no emotion in his eyes and he cursed him at that day. But now that he see’s the deep sadness in his friend's eyes as he said those five names he understood that Golm hid his emotion deep within as that was the day he had to battle against the demon king.

“Have you ever felt the feeling of loneliness?” But Allen didn’t stop he understood that but he still hates Golm and fired another question.

“You are my only friend” Golm with a sincere expression said this as a tear cascaded down his cheeks. His emotions were clearly transmitted and Allen receiving this felt extremely down.

“You… if I tried looking at you in a different perspective I could have…”

Scenes flashed before Allen’s eyes, a scene where he was happily talking with Golm and his party. A scene where the whole City came to protect him and his family. And finally him standing side by side with Golm as they shaped the new world.

“You don’t need to worry Allen, I’m sure that this world and it’s people will forgive you. After all the only one who could cast this spell is me”

“...”

He didn’t understand at first but soon realized what Golm meant. But before he could say anything the gigantic rock fell from the sky and killed the two weekend friends.

After their deaths two lights floated out of the gigantic rock. One was a pure black stirp of light that glowed in white, the other was the opposite a white strip of light glowing black. The two lights soon flew to each other and combined creating a yin and yang symbol. Then the two lights shot up to the sky and disappeared from the world.
