"So you figured it out? Haha. I was among the first werewolves who saw that you were the chosen child at that ancient tree. That was when I understood why I could not kill you that easily. Naturally, I tried to fra you when I saw an opportunity, so that everyone would be against you and believe that you were ant to cause destruction. Too bad that it did not work. Making regret why I killed my beloved wife’s pets". He answered .
His voice was filled with regret.
He was angry that his plan did not work out against .
’But, co to think about it, has he been watching most tis, even when I was Clara Hensley?! Is that why he knew even though I was now in a different body? I have to inform the moon goddess about this’. I thought to myself.
Glaring at him, I asked, "Your wife’s pets? Are you talking about those hybrid creatures? And wait a second, you have a wife?".
"Of course I do. And the wild beasts are my wife’s pets, and since they gave birth to the hybrid creatures under my command, the hybrid creatures are also my wife’s pets. But the werewolves and humans have been killing them! I promise, I will have my revenge! I will burn this world into ashes and, after getting a new body worthy of withstanding my formidable powers, I will resurrect my beloved wife, and we will rule over the entire world while walking upon your bones, including the bones of the humans and werewolves!".
’Alright, I am very confused. Does that an that the wild beasts are pets from the underworld? How the heck did they then get here? I am even more confused and curious. What created them? And this black shadow, earlier, he said that when he suddenly opened his eyes, he existed and had a body. Additionally, I am finding out now that he had a wife, who must have died, since he said sothing about wanting to resurrect her. What created all of them?’. I thought.
’In this world, when there is light, there is surely darkness too. Just like how good and evil coexist. Light and darkness must exist to keep the world balanced. But, the light is what keeps the darkness in check. The light must shine brighter than the darkness. Rember that always and don’t allow the darkness to ever control you. Be the one to control it’. A voice whispered to . The voice was calm and so gentle.
It was not Elektra’s voice, nor the voice that tempted to use my powers of destruction.
’Elektra, have you been hearing voices too?’. I asked her, with my eyes never leaving the black shadow’s side.
It seed that he was planning on attacking again.
’What voices?’. She replied to , and I understood that I was the only one hearing those voices.
’What truly is happening to ?’. I thought, but I did not allow my thoughts to distract .
At least, not now.
"You are hilarious, black shadow".
"I am not black shadow! I am called darkness! Get that right!". He scolded .
"Whatever". I rolled my eyes, before I added, "Black shadow, you are sadly delusional. Your wife’s pets are attacking us more than usual, probably because you are manipulating them, right? So why would we not kill them? When you got defeated and lost your original body, did you perhaps lose your brain too? Because I can clearly see that".
I saw him clench his fists. My words must have pissed him off.
Looks like I was correct about him being pissed off, because dark smoke surrounded his shadowed body, especially his hands.
At that sa mont, the dark smoke that enveloped both his hands ford two sharp swords that were long and wide, but not longer than mine.
One sword was in each of his hands.
"Enough talking. I should get more serious". He said to and his aura turned cold.
If it was a werewolf or a normal human standing before him, they could have been terrified, but I was different.
I am neither a true-born werewolf nor a true-born human.
The moon goddess had died and was not an ordinary human anymore when she gave birth to .
So that makes an extraordinary unknown being.
I prepared myself for battle, and in an instant, my swords appeared in my hands.
"Everything about you reminds of my greatest nesis. Because of that, I will destroy you and your remains so that I will cease to see you again!".
"In your dreams, black shadow". I said to him, and as he dashed towards with his hands stretched behind his back.
I ran towards him too, before our swords clashed against each other.
A wind, so strong, enveloped both of us, and the ground we were standing upon cracked.
My hair, which was not tied, swayed back and forth wildly.
Fortunately, I was not wearing my crown. If not, it might get damaged in this battle.
"You are strong. But not like her". His face was only a few inches away from mine as he said this.
"Quit speaking words I don’t understand!". I shouted at him, and we both pushed each other away using our swords that rested against each other.
The fight got more intense.
Black shadow was repeatedly swinging his swords against while turning around continuously. I wasn’t able to attack him because he did not give any chance to. The only thing I did was do many backflips as I retreated from him.
As I did another backflip and my body was off the ground, I muttered, "Ne-co-tra-il-ga-du".
I found myself up in the air flying, after disappearing.
I was about to perform the trick I had learned. That is, striking down my opponent with my swords after gathering energy in the swords.
Imdiately, I gathered energy in my swords and slashed black shadow using the swords’ energy.
Black shadow quickly made the sharp edges of his swords to be positioned against each other, causing the swords to form an x-shape as he attempted to block my attack, which he successfully failed to block.
My swords’ energy destroyed black shadow’s swords and made them return to dark smoke before they completely vanished.
As for black shadow, my swords’ energy equally hit him and cut his body in half.
I landed on the ground because I actually thought that I had defeated him this ti, but I was wrong.
His body ca back together. This was the second ti that this had happened!
Holding his chest, he groaned and said to , "You are clearly stronger than for now, just because I don’t have a body or a worthy body. Wait until I get a new body worthy of withstanding my powers. I will return and finish you up for good!".
Upon saying that to , and before I could attack him again, he entered the ground and was nowhere to be seen again.
"I will be waiting for you". I muttered, and the swords in my hands vanished.
"Ne-co-tra-il-ga-du". I disappeared and returned to the guest room.
Anders was still asleep. ’I should leave him. Tomorrow he can bathe and get changed’. I thought, before I went and sat down on the single-seater sofa that was next to the bed.
Staring at Anders, who was soundly asleep with his eyebrows furrowing every few seconds, I muttered, "He must be having a bad dream".
Despite that, I chose not to wake him up.
My mind shifted to those two voices I had heard.
One of the voices was bossy and tempting , while the other voice was calm and gentle, which gave not so bad advice.
’Who did those voices belong to?’. I thought.
’What voices, Clara? You didn’t reply to when I asked you earlier’. Elektra said to .
I sighed in defeat and used my palms to rub my face.
After doing that, I began to massage my temples as I replied to her through our mind - link, ’I heard two different voices, Elektra. Unfortunately, you didn’t hear the voices. If not, you will understand how I am feeling’.
’I understand how you are feeling, Clara. Rember, I am a part of you. I can tell when you are troubled most tis’. She said to , and I smiled a little bit.
’I am glad I have you, Elektra. Also, there’s sothing you must know’.
’What is it, Clara?’. She quickly asked.
’Between the two voices I heard, one of them was an and tempted . While the other voice was calm and, in a way, advised . What I am trying to say is that the an voice was the voice that made use my powers of destruction’. I told her.
’What the? And you have no idea where the voices are coming from?’. She asked .
’No. I have no idea yet’. I replied to her and stopped massaging my temples.
’You have to be really careful, Clara. You can’t allow those voices to control or manipulate you. Especially the an voice’.
’Yeah, you are right, Elektra. Also, we have a problem at hand’.
’What is it?’. She asked .
My eyes darkened as I looked at Anders and focused my attention on him.
’We have to always keep Anders on our side and watch over him. I have a feeling that black shadow will return. He is looking for a perfect body worthy enough of withstanding his power. I believe that he might have already found the perfect body he was looking for’.
Elektra gasped. ’It is Anders, right?’. She asked .
’Yes, Elektra. It is Anders’.
