"NO!"
Shai cried trying to pull herself up, her body aced against, her efforts crying out in pain as she reached for where he was her gaze glaring at where he once stood other hand grabbing and scratching them broken roof the dirt and dust mixed with her blood, her face scrunched in pain as she screamed,
"Dalos!"
Shai tried to sit up her body cracked and aching for her to stop, she ignored the pain her arm felt broken the bone grind together, the pain shot up from her arm she seethed glaring at the spote as she sits on her kness, her whole body pulsed in agony as she was able to sit up, her wide stare looking around the broken roof shaked from the force of the wind while the dust sturred around her, made her look like she in a tornado,
"Im stuck here,"
Shai muttered her hand twitch unvoluntarily as she glanced looking at the fallen gun beside her, an empty shell now the appalling, she saw what remained of Apet from the opening, her body laid in a pool of her own blood, her body splintered apart her face the one of agonry and torment, betray even. Shai slowly teared her gaze from the cold body to the glowing sky above her the universe shining down on her as she felt her body aching as she looked up her eyes in a daze from it, Shai felt the world kept fading in and out when she felt the pit in her stomach dropped, the feeling of dread seep into her soul, she grint her teeth remembering her and her eyes during...wanting to tear up but couldn't,
"Shai, you promise me to come back,"
Shai looked behind her hearing Eurus, but he was there he couldn't be there he stayed with Claire, he stay behind to be safe to not...be hurt or..abandoned with her, Shai went to turn away when she hears,
"Shai..."
Her head shot up to where it came from it was just a faint breeze from where her father's voice came from. she reached out her hand, hoping to hear a voice again,
"P.. Papa?"
She sounded so weak... meek, it made her feel so small. She let her hand fall on the ground...as she thought, but it fell on the old broken weapon. She stared up at the sky, hearing the voices calling out to her,
"Shai, why should i trust us with my nephew? After what happened, i..can..."
It went from ear shot to a whisper she couldn't hear the faint voice, its Judy that she knew but it was faint, so quite that she couldn't hear it over the rushing wind, she glanced at it this time,
"Is this all i have left the faint memory of their voices,"
Shai seethed, turning her head down with her whole body crying out to her, her body broken in places bleeding and cracked, but her soul so drained it felt like she's seeping out of time. like a sand glass on its last grains, she let out a faint sob when she hears the figure's voice.
"You would do this for us, Shai? you know the risks, but i never thought there would be a person much less a human to help me help that idiot,"
Shai let out a broken sob that if there was another there with her, she thought she was laughing, Shai then heard a soft chuckle in her ear, with a mischievous voice that lingered,
"Come on figure i can help you with Shai I'm great with...how old is she to me she's like a baby but to you shes in the whom...oww why hit me figure you know I'm right!"
Shai looked around franticly her movements made her body quake with her pain, and she seethed as she tried to get up where the noise was,
"Other!"
Shai shouted landing her on feet she felt her ankle crunch under her weight, she hadent cared for it as she limped towards where she heard the voice not noticing the pain in her body it's all a blur,
"That was you, i know it, it had to be you guy..."
Shai scatter walked around the roof looking for the voices, praying they whernt in her head, but what she didn't notice her vines glowing gold, the searing pain she couldn't feel meld in to her, she saw something faint white so it wasn't the figures that for sure, Shai stopped reach her hand out to it, she then saw the gold glow in her vines shining remembering how it shined with the weapon,
"It should be gone. The weapon Dalos is gone. His power went with him,"
She looked at her body seeing the other worldly light underneath her skin, she took a step back as she looked at it, her voice a broken sob, "it's supposed to be gone...the power the pain. The stress all of it should have been gone with him,"
She didn't notice the footsteps under her with the faint voice that followed, then shaken her. Frightened her,
"Did she do it. Did she kill the holder like she promised"
"she had to, right? i mean, with what she has told us of the holder, she must have,"
"No!"
Shai eyes widen hearing that stark voice shouting over the others, that was Heliod, she hears his ragged breathing his movement is are frantic as he screamed out,
"Apet! We know you're here, i can sense your power, where are you?"
Shai tried to move towards the noise, seeing a faint figure in the whole from the roof. "You know who i serve...i will not go back,"
Shai flinched hearing the utter panic in his voice while his black eyes met her golds..his eyes widen as they stared into her he let go of his staff his flowing gld hair fell flat as he stared up at her,
"Dalos!"
He cried pointing at her Shai felt her throat jump up seeing Helido his eyes starting glowing like Apets as he pointed at her with his staff, Shai moved back a hand over her face as she looked around,
"Dalos. He called me Dalos. Why would he..."She saw a her weapon in the distrains with something glowing in it, Shai took a step towards the weapon to see what the glow was about, does he still have power in it after Dalos left maybe there might be enough there for her to leave to get to the figure finding a way to end all this. But she took a step, her eyes widened, and the glow got worse. Shai slowly stopped seeing the soft gold glow, but the hints of it worried her when there was more than one glow coming from the weapon, her eyes ...and her skin. It's gold. It glowed under her skin so much that it made her skin look like gold. She let out a shock sob,
"No...no, this isn't what i am. It was him he was the power in the weapon he used he,"
A glow came from her, her eyes lit up like stars with her hand glowing like the sun. She looked at her hand, shaking them to see if they would stop. They didn't, sadly.
"Shit, what is this..." Shai stopped hearing Heliod voice coming closer with a mixed of other voice calling out for finding her and seeking their leader, Shai shake from the pain, the shock from her glowing body and the pain that radiated off her, it was all at once hitting her with a force she not familiar with,
"Shai!"
Heilod pulled himself from the hole in the roof, and he thought he saw Dalos, but he didn't see a woman like a human. He thought she was human. What he sees now seen to be and figure his own kind...but the first he needed to find Apet to see that she lived after facing Dalos he hoped she had kept her word of defeating him, but nothing he saw nothing other than her, that damn holder ruiner destroyer, when he stopped she turned to him her eyes frantic, confused, frightened. He observed her movements, shes shaking without her knowing, reaching out to him but to frightened to see what he might do,
"What is this?"
Heliod saw a shine coming off of the broken weapon. He saw it open. The cage was broken from the inside out... He pulled himself up his gaze set on the cage,
"What have you done to her!" He stood up from climbing from the hole he staggered when Shai stared at him her eyes like Dalos, Shai stop reaching out to him as she mutters,
"It..it wasn't me...it...was him,"
Shai tried to back away from him, only for him to surge towards the weapon. He saw what lay in the cage, and Apet cut apart so articularly. Her blood seeped into the weapon, and he felt his hand shake, holding the weapon close to his body, his face horrified. distraught, and Shai saw it his eyes squinted, glaring at the weapon he cradled to his chest, Shai tried to move away from him,
"You...did you killer her?" Heliod, he turned his gaze to her, and it shook Shai to her soul, seeing how broken his gaze was as he stared at her like he just shattered. Shai staggered, moving away from him, watching as he started to get up his body shaking with want she thought was rage. Sorrow. Shai eyes widen, seeing all his emotions playing on his face,
"I...i sware I wasn't in...control he..did this to her,"
Shai took a step back as Heliod took a step towards her, his whole body revealing in the pain of the lose of his friend, he clenched the weapon like it was his own heart as he stepped closer to her his one hand moving,
"Shai...he killed her...you he..."
Shai felt something pulling at her tattered clothes pulling her into a world of light she let out a harsh scream as she tried to claw at something anything, but it was all for naught she's taken away from the roof her last site was Heilod holding the weapon in to his chest his eyes widen not at her but who took he.
