The next day came and elysia, as usual, came out of her room, greeted and had a little chat with her guardian before preparing for school.
Today was different, the air was heavy, and there was this grim and eerie feeling in the air that only elysia was feeling. she went about her day as usual
Elysia was uneasy all through the day adn she couldnt shake off the feeling that something was off. she kept staring at the clock in front of her classroom while waiting for the closing alarm to ring
"ringggg"
it was 3pm already and its time to go home. Elysia quickly packed her bags and was about to step out of the classroom when her class teacher stopped her
"sir, i really need to get home fast" elysia said hurridely
she tried to pull from the strong grip of the teacher
"you were not attentive today, i noticed you were staring all through the classes"
"i'm a little sick today sir" elysia quickly replied
"and i need to get home to take my medications"
"oh okay then, take care of yourself" the teacher said with a smile while releasing her from his grip.
Elysia quickly left the class, for some reason she couldnt shake this feeling that something was wrong with the teacher
"maybe its just me thinking too much" she said to herself
Elysia rushed home, hoping that something bad had not happened but immediately she got home, what she feared had actually happened
the firstv thhing she noticed as she got home was that the door wasnt locked.Her heart started beating fast.
"…Why is it open?"
She walked closer.
"Hello?"
No answer.
She pushed the door open.
"I'm home…"
Silence.
The house felt wrong.
She stepped inside slowly.
"…Where are you?"
Then she saw it.Her guardian laid lifeless on the floor in a pool ot her own blood
Elysia froze. Her body couldnt move and her little mind could not put down what was happening
She walked forward slowly.
"…Aunty?" she called softly
No response.
She knelt down.
Her small hands touched her guardian's arm and it was really cold
"…Wake up." there was no response
"…Please wake up."
Her voice shook slightly, this time tears already forming in the corner of her eyes
She shook her again.
"Wake up…"
Nothing changed. no response
elysia couldnt take it anymore as she broke down in tearbeautiful aunty was the closest person she had to familly. she was a stranger who just lost her daughter in the hospoital elysia was born in, and had offered to take in elysia and treat her like her own daughter.
And now, she was gone, forever
something in elysia broke that day.
she wiped her tears, She did not scream, She just stared.
Her chest felt empty. Like something inside her had disappeared.
>>>>>>>>
Behind her, footsteps.slow and calm
She wasnt scared and this was unsual for a kid who had jus lost someone
"…You killed her."
Her voice was quiet.
Her teacher stood a few steps away.
But he no longer felt human.
"naaa, why would i stain my hands with such filth," he replied.
Elysia finally turned.
Her face had no expression.
"....filth?, so aunty's life is nothing but filth?.... why?"
"Because you are not supposed to live and dead people dont ask questions."
She did not understand.
But she did not ask again.
Something inside her shifted.
Her eyes lost focus for a second.
The air around her changed slightly, but this didnt faze the demonin front of her
The teacher stepped forward.
"I expected more. You are just a child."
He raised his hand as Dark energy gathered around it.
"I will end it quickly."
but Before he could move,Something appeared.
it was so Fast.
A figure stood between them.
The same presence that had been watching her before.
it was calm and silent, but emanated a suffocating aura
The teacher stopped.
"…So you finally show yourself."
No reply.
The guardian stood silent
The teacher upon seeing that the figure before it wouldnt budge, attacked first.
His body moved instantly, crossing the distance in a blink. His strike aimed directly at the guardian's head.
The guardian shifted slightly and the attack narrowly missed.
At the same moment, the guardian struck back.,.....A clean hit to the side.
The teacher was thrown across the room, crashing into the wall.
He stood up quickly.
"…That was fast."
He wiped his mouth.
Then smiled.
Dark energy spread around his body.
"You're not human either."
He rushed forward again, this time with more ferocity and speed
with His fist carrying more force than before
but sill, The guardian blocked it with his forearm and The impact shook the ground slightly.
Without hesitation, the guardian twisted his body and struck upward.
The hit landed under the teacher's chinand it felt as tho a thousand kilo had just hit him
He was lifted off his feet and thrown back again.
Before he could recover, the guardian moved again. and with one step
He was already in front of him.
Another strike. this time Direct. and more precise.
The teacher crashed through part of the wall this time.
>>>>>>>>
For a moment, it looked like it was over.
>>>>>>
Then the teacher started laughing.
Low at first.
Then louder.
"…You think this is enough?"
His body began to change.
Dark energy surged violently around him.
Stronger than before and Unstable.
His eyes glowed. and anyone who stared at his eyes at that point wold feel as though it was an endless abyss
"You forced me to use this."
He moved again, this time Faster than before.
and a more powerful attack landed. and the guardian was forced to move back a little---
The teacher, noticing this, followed up immediately with a barage of attacks
Each hit carried heavy force.
The guardian blocked most of them, but the pressure increased.
Dark energy gathered again in the teacher's palm.
He released it at close range.
The blast hit.
The guardian was pushed back several steps.
>>>>>
Elysia watched, while still kneeling in front of her auntys lifeless body. But this time, her eyes glowed faintly
>>>>
The guardian raised his hand and a bright Light formed and as He stepped forward., the light kept getting denser and his aura suffocating all living being around. though elysia wasnt affected
This time, his speed changed and he vanished
>>>>>>
The teacher's eyes widened.
Too late.
The guardian appeared behind him.
A strike landed on his back.
The impact forced him to the ground and Before he could stand, the guardian placed his hand forward.
Light gathered and Compressed, and was released at the teacher
"at my will, all living being mus bow" the guardian raised his hands
The attack hit directly and The teacher's body was slammed into the ground.
Cracks spread beneath him
Silence
Then his body twitched.
"…I won't die here."
His energy surged again. this time out of control and it threatened to destroy everythimng
The guardian did not hesitate and He quickly stepped forward and struck again.
This time with more force.
The teacher's body could not handle it and The energy around himimmediately shattered and he fell to the ground. with his life fading away.
and then at the last moment, His eyes shifted and A small portion of his energy broke away and faded as though it was never there
The guardian noticed.
But he did not move to stop it.
Because he could not.
>>>>>
In another space, A tear opened and Something forced its way through
>>>>>
A boy stood still in an empty street. he was Around Elysia's age.. and His eyes suddenly changed. it was dark and Then normal again.
back at the house
The guardian stood still.
The fight was over.
But his presence was fading and Behind him
The space distorted and he vanished
In another realm, Figures moved.
Many of them.
Watching and Waiting for the signal
Then they attacked.
The guardian stepped forward.
His power rose, This time fully visible and Light surrounded him.
The first creature lunged.
He cut through it instantly.
No hesitation.
No wasted movement.
More came this time faster and Stronger.
He moved between them.
Each strike precise. Each movement efficient.
They tried to break through, To reach Earth, To reach Elysia.
but He did not let them.
>>>>>
Back in the house
Elysia's vision blurred,Her body swayed.She had not moved, not even once
The sound of sirens approached her house
Her eyes slowly lost focus and The last thing she saw Was the empty space where the guardian had stood.
Then everything went dark
