The atmosphere feels tense.
Wind blows.
My heart races.
A man lunges. He slashes.
I dodge.
"Who are you?" I ask him.
"I am General Pre," he replies.
I watch Prince. His face looks full of fear.Sweat drips from his face.
Shadows gather around us.
They are Syen soldiers.
"Don't worry! I will save you!" I say to Prince.
The General Pre laughs.
"Surrender or die," he continues. "Choose any one!"
"None of the above!" I say.
I smile. He rushes towards me.
I vault. I pivot and swing my sword horizontally.
He evades.
"You are too slow!" he says.
His words trigger rage in me.
Soldiers rush. I hold Prince's hand.
I notice a gap to escape.
We move towards the gap.
Auron follows us. But the soldiers stand.
We never stop.
We reach a huge empty land.
"What is it?" I ask Auron.
Fear is on his face.
"It is the battlefield of Pacta Kingdom," he says.
My heart seizes for a moment.
"Zeo!" Prince calls.
I turn.
Tears in his eyes.
"Leave me to them," he continues."They want my life!"
His words melt my heart.
Tears flow.
His heart has only purity and care.
"Don't try to save me!" he says.
Innocence in his eyes.
"How can I leave my best friend?" I say.
He weeps.
"No time to cry!" Auron says.
"Yes," I say.
Prince wipes his tears.
We hear footsteps.
I turn. Soldiers march.
"What now?" Auron asks.
"Blood," I say. "I want blood."
"How much?" Auron asks.
"Plenty of blood!" I reply.
Auron has only one chance to use Umbric movement.
"How many?" he asks.
"Two," I reply.
"What are you talking about?" Prince asks.
I laugh.
"Wait and see," I reply.
There are thousands of soldiers.
I turn. Auron disappears.
Tension rises among the soldiers.
Soldiers begin to die.
Auron is on game.
I take my dagger.
My dagger rends my palm.
The dagger is covered with my blood.
I focus. My blood flies.
It forms a very small sphere.
The sphere floats in air.
"Auron!" I call.
He appears before me.
"I am ready," I say.
The sphere pulls others' blood.It grows.
I raise my line sword.
I dash and cleave five soldiers.
Blood flies towards the sphere.
Auron kills hundreds of soldiers.
All blood moves towards the sphere.
The sphere grows bigger and bigger.
"Auron! It is ready!" I shout.
He stands behind me.
Prince watches curiously.
"Is it work?" Auron asks.
"Stay positive," I reply.
"What is it?" Prince asks.
