Chapter 18 - A way

"By the way, why the hell you introduce ourselves to a stranger."

Marine asked Zack with a unsure expression who was walking behind them.

"Because she was pretty... Pretty cute. And our classmate."

Zack said with a smile.

"Marry her then!"

"That's not how life works."

Zack sigh.

"Didn't you saw your brother face when he first looked at her. What should we even called that?"

Ruis spoke in his usual tone. Thinking about what should he named this scenario?.

"Love at first sight."

Marine giggles. As she wrapped her arms around her brother neck. He was tall so she had to make a small jumped to reach his neck.

"What do you think?... Prince."

"You all are idiots. Is it a sin to get amazed by looking at a beautiful girl?. And we have to take of this wound and blood which constantly from my arm."

"Who tells you to do that? I was ready to kick that guy but nah. An asshole is always an asshole."

Zack exclaimed with frustration.

"Shut up bitch."

Ender glared back at him. It feels like they were about to fight but before that Ruis stands between them.

"Well my flat is near. So I'll be going now."

He spoke with his usual tone with a warm smile. Balancing the mood between both of them. As he went off opposite side of road before doing thumbs up to them.

"Well we should now."

Marine spoke with her soft tone with a slight pleaded face.

"Sure then."

Ender sigh.

DING-DONG!

Misha clicked her door bell as she dried her sweat on her forehead with tissues. The door opened and her mother let her in the house. She drank some glass of water, sitting in dining room. As her bag was in the another chair beside her.

Her mother sat beside her. Watching her with a surprised look.

"Is everything okay dear?"

She patted gently to her as Misha put the glass on the table, breathing heavily.

"Yes mom... I'm fine."

She muttered way fast than usual.

"I don't think so? Tell me what's wrong?"

Her expression became more worried and curious.

"I told you I'm fine!"

She screamed at her, her hair scattered over her eyes and face barely noticeable. As her mom leaves before saying.

"Dinner's ready. Just make sure to wash the dishes later."

As she leaves, Misha slammed the table with her fists simultaneously, her head down to table.

~ If I tell them what was about to happened to me today. They will permanently stopped me from going to college.

~ Why always me? There are so many people in the world. They hurt others. Ruin their lives. Yet I... I never thought any bad situation on anyone. Never curse on anyone then why me? God why me?.

Misha had a mentally harsh childhood as she was always degraded in her every act. So much that her mind unconsciously used her kindness as an defense mechanism. Her father and mother along with her relatives always scolded her for not listening to them even for a single moment.

One day Misha came from her collage and her relatives were all sitting in dining room.

"Hey there Misha, why are you so late today?"

Her aunt spoke with a teasing tone.

"Traffic congestion."

She replied with a flat tone as she went to her room.

"You saw that David. She didn't even greet me. I started the conversation first, is this what your daughter is studying for?"

"I already told you. It's useless for girls to study, they just get prideful for what they studied, yet you didn't listened. Don't bother me when she will get out from your hands."

Her another aunt spoke with irritated tone and then they started murmuring between themselves.

"We shouldn't distrub the mood just because of one person."

Her mother intrigued between them. As they gradually started chatting about everyday life.

In her room after taking shower. Misha sat on her bed drying her hair with her towel after moments she layed on her bed and was reading a romantic novel about a light fantasy. Her bag on the table small cabinet beside her bed.

It was her hobby to read fantasy romance novels everytime she was free as they were her dream life she dreamed everyday.

***

Misha was viewing her memories. She and her zon were shrouded by a fog in a completely white room, seeing their memories in a projected screen, her face had an unreadable expression. Her zon who was beside her sat in a chair destroyed the projection as she glanced at her.

"What now? Even if I gave you a choice then tell me... What will what will you do?"

She spoke in her soft tone, her golden eyes fixed at Misha whose face wasn't visible clearly as her hair was slightly scattered through her face.

"I– I always wondered... If I had a chance to run away. Where will I go?... But that desire was always buried... Till now.."

She continues with a long pause..

"I will choose myself this time... Myself.."

"What if?"

Her zon appeared infront of her kness, her fingers on Misha's cheeks and chin. Her pleaded golden eyes glaring at her.

"We lost ourselves... Our identity... And became a shell who used to be... Misha."

"We won't.. Why would we?. There is a reason for us to live.. And if there's isn't... Then I will live long till I find the reason to live... And purpose of my live."

"Be it then.."

Her zon embrace her. Within that moment, the room started to crumble as her zon shine a golden light which covered the whole region.

"Don't lose yourself.."

Her zon final words before she gradually turned to dust.

***

Ender and Zack were having a fight in a world which was composed of infinite multiverses made by Leon so that they can balance and utilize their powers correctly.

"You miss that."

Ender dodged an attack way beyond speed of light made by Zack's sword where he uses his zon and suppressed it to a single point then throw it to Ender. Nevertheless he hardly but still managed to get away with it.

As he charges an attack by using his both hands.

"Revel."

A massive blast shoot from it as Zack made a massive slash by using both his arms to counter it. When both attacks collapsed they destroyed many multiverses which were nearby it.

"Damn that's enough for today."

Ender spoke with a teasing tone as he scratches his hair.

"No way we were just doing a warm up."

Zack snorted as he sheath his sword.

***

On the earth it was day with the birds chirping usually and the winds rustling through the leaves as Leon was sitting on chair and his head slightly titled down, had his eyes closed. It seems like he was medicating but he was watching the fight of both of them.

As Ender and Zack appeared Infront of him as he opened his eyes.

"Yoo, isn't Ruis here yet?"

Zack spoke with his usual tone.

"It takes time to awaken.. Dumb."

Ender replied with a smirked. As Zack glared at him with quite serious face.

Suddenly there was a golden light coming from the tent where Misha was laying. Drawing their attention to it. Even Leon was fazed.

"Wait is she awakening?"

Ender muttered to himself.

Leon immediately made a dark-blue barrier around the tent.

"Is this for not attracting those entities?"

Zack spoke with unsure expression, his hand on his sword on the back just in case, ready to unsheath the next moment.

"You know the answer."

Ender spoke with a sigh.

Within moments the golden light became very intense that even with the barrier. They could feel the energy rising from within the barrier.

~ The entity incident had caused her an abnormality.

Abruptly the light disappeared and there was silence. Leon destroyed the barrier by waving his hand at it. As they heard footsteps coming from the tent. As a girl's hand removed the tent's door.

"Hey there guys. Wait why we're here?."

Misha spoke with her gentle soft yet mixed up expression.
