Chapter 3.5: Innocence in the Eve

Bonus Scene From Isa

Choosing my direction, killing another. Not caring for the damage, only one mattering. This blackness in my heart, my unyielding rage. Failure in defeating Armand, that innocent one sweeping away in this madness. Floating in darkness, my growing unrest. Thinking of the worst, not wishing for it. That one continuously suffering, a pure individual. Opening my eyes, that brightening light. Reaching forward my hand, its nearing presence, enveloping me in its warmth.

Shortly finding myself in the grassy field, this raining night, some azure energy in the air. That bleeding moon in the sky, the flowing blades of grass. Wondering on this force, my unease. Making my way onward, my eyes on that hazel one. Her black nightwear on her, standing in front of the bench. Shortly before her, sadness from this one, her sullen welcome.

"How do you feel about the actions you are taking?" Elina looking away, holding her upper arm.

"Difficult, but it is necessary in order to save you." My hand on my waist.

"I guess I should have expected this response. It is funny huh...just how fragile the heart can be. Resilient at first, but then so easily taken apart." Her gentle eyes on me.

"Yeah..." Distantly shifting my vision to my side.

Feeling the rain hitting against me, this cold breeze. My path towards tomorrow, not allowing anyone to quell my soul. Difficult it is, enduring my actions. Once part of their ranks, our diverging roads. One holding the support of countless in his hands, proceeding in his direction. Meeting this challenge, opposing the reason of others.

"Sorry, I am aware this is something you wouldn't want to happen. Selfish I am, I know. Though, I will not let you become a tool for Armand's delusion." My gaze towards her.

"Now that I think about it, this is just like you. Always worrying me, always head strong, believing in your course." Faintly smiling at me.

"And this is another reason for you to live, right? So you can properly scold me." Brightly grinning at her.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Hehe, I suppose so. Just...if anything, remain the way I have always known you, no matter of your path." Her hands behind her back.

"That, I can promise." Gesturing my hand to her.

This raining sorrow, feeling its force against me. Thinking back to the past, constantly concerning her. Battling against my foes, some injuries turning up. Arrowing forward, determination in my path. Deeply holding my beliefs, my world crashing down. Pieces of myself, one still remaining. Unable to protect her, my aching heart. Two of us in this space, relishing in the presence of the other. Moving past her, shortly standing in front of the stairs.

Malice flowing around me, expanding my arms. Releasing this force, this sinking into the floating moon above. Its increasing malevolence, soon returning energy to me. This assimilating into my body, feeling it flowing through me. Gripping my katana, holding it in front. Negativity racing along its length, these emotions reflecting through it. Another offering at completion, noticing the approach of this innocent one. Facing her, placing away my blade.

"With each offering, you draw closer to bringing ruin." Her conflicting tone.

"Makes you think huh, the reason for the Iconoclast's path. I feel it was a very simple one..." My hands behind my back, some sadness from me.

"Laying ruin to countless, all for her deepest desire. That demon being the one you formed your contract with." Her attention slightly away.

A devil coming to me in my time of dying, offering me a solution. A strange one, not deciding the price. Confusing at first, but now it is making a bit more sense. Warmth in her presence, her powerful resolve. Mysteries of the past, my own blindness from my faith. Understanding a bit more, this hazel one in front of me. Moving forward, motioning behind her. Wrapping my arms around her, holding her in my embrace.

"Whatever sins I must endure, I will. So, please do not feel sadness for this. Instead, look ahead to the many things you will be able to do." My soft voice on her.

"The many things huh...you really are a bad influence. These simple emotions, they are worth pursuing." Her eyes towards me.

"Heh, a bad influence? You sure it is me? I mean, you can be quite cunning, this situation and all." Teasing a bit.

Feeling her movements, this one turning to me. Displeasure from her, her hands to her chest. Getting this response, missing these days. Slowly backing away, that one approaching me, anger from her. This tiring feeling, perfection of the timing, our brightening surroundings. The rain hitting against us, her finger in my direction. Running away from her, loudly laughing, her furious tone.

"You are not getting away that easily Isa!" the hazel one chasing after me.

"I'll be checking out now! Bye!" my spirit fading into the light.

Isa: I can still draw out some of the cutest responses from you.

Elina: Just wait until next time, Isa...
