Cold. My whole body feels cold. Strange considering what I had just experienced. The feeling of Gwi-Ma's flames scorching my very being. The fire wrapping around my whole person, destroying my physical self slowly but surely. I could still feel the pain shooting across my whole body. I wanted- No, needed to scream, but I couldn't show any weakness. Not in front of her.
Ah. I could still hear it and...see her. The beautiful voice that inspires her fans. The same voice that draws me in, every single time I tried to tease her. I can't help but laugh to myself every time she gets a little bit angrier; but of all these unfortunately held back by tears that run down her cheeks. Oh, how her patterns glow not with the despair and hate that Gwi-ma holds over the rest of the demons; instead it shines with a beautiful azure and gold glow, one that represents her friendships, her determination, her hope, and most importantly, her love. Her love for everything, for her friends, fans, and I hope... Damn it all. I wanted to reach out for her. I wanted to wrap my arms around her, but all I could do was comfort her with my words. I wish it was enough. I wish my actions were enough for her to take down the Demon King, if they could destroy him in that state. I can only believe in them. In Huntrix.
I can feel myself drifting further into the cold. This is only right, I died a good death. I will gladly take the journey towards reincarnation, no matter how perilous it will be. No matter where it will take me, I will walk through it all. I can feel it already, Throughout this darkness, I am being pulled somewhere, drawn to a direction I cannot see nor perceive. I guess I just have to sit back and enjoy the-
I gasp for air, enough to lock in my throat and cause a violent coughing. I reach upwards to clutch on to my chest in instinct and as I let the trapped air out of my throat, I could only open my eyes and look around in frantic confusion. My vision and hearing becomes clearer and I am in awe of what I could suddenly perceive. Are those...cars? Lights? Am I hearing crowds and the sounds of the city? I am...back in the mortal realm? How?
I look down and realize something. Warmth. My body feels warm! I shift my hand slightly to the left, resting my palm over my heart, wondering if- There it is, a heartbeat. I am alive!...I AM ALIVE?
I try to pick myself up, hugging a wall for support as I look around where I woke up in. I seem to be in a random alleyway. Ugh- Was I laying on a pile of trash? Well, that doesn't bring back good memories at all. I let out a soft sigh as I compose myself, stretching all the muscles that felt like they haven't been used in weeks. I need to reassess my bearings. If I can hear the city, then that means Huntrix succeeded and...Gwi-Ma is dead! Is that why I am back? That doesn't make sense though, Rumi has my soul so why am I here? And how and why did I come back? Ugh- I can usually answer these questions but this splitting headache is stopping me.
For now, I can only hope to get some answers along the way. There are some answers I can get at this moment though. I turn to my hand and see...no patterns. I let out a short chuckle and take a breath. I truly am alive at this moment. Back to being a human. If that is the case then-
I focus my mind to try and test to see if any of my powers remain and as the splitting headache returns, I could safely say that they have completely vanished.
So, demonic mind control is gone, demonic powers are gone, now for the last one. I lift myself up and take a step forward, it shoots a severe pain into the rest of my body, but this pain does not matter unless I know. If Gwi-Ma is dead, then I can only assume-
I take a few more steps forward, the pain now subsiding into a low ache. This is enough, I lean my body forward and swing my arms as I step faster. I go into a full sprint outside the alleyway and as the blinding light strikes my eyes, I could only reach upwards to cover my eyes from the blinding light of the morning sun. As my eyes recover, I look up to the massive promotional screen showing none other than the heroes of the world. Huntrix and...there she is. Oh she's just as gorgeous as I thought. She's shining even brighter than the last I saw her. Huh. I need to see her. I need to-
Wait. I take a breath to recuperate and calm myself first. How long has it been? From what I can see from the poster, it hasn't been long since the rise of Gwi-Ma to the mortal realm. I take it has been days? A week at most maybe. Knowing her, they would probably take a long break since-
My eyes dart to the shine along the objects. Looks like I can still perceive the Honmoon and...it shines. Not in it's usual blue, and also not in gold. It has a variety of colors. It almost shines like a diamond under the sunlight. It shines...like her. I let out a short breath of relief. I can sense my nerves relaxing as I run my hand along the Honmoon. The fog in my mind is now clear.
I need to get to her, but without my powers, it won't be as easy. It's be also safe to assume that they made a cover up story as to why the Saja Boys suddenly disappeared, so I cannot rely on that. That only leaves one- well, two things. My tiger and bird. Find them, Find Rumi
This is it. I'm coming home.
