Chapter 12 Realization

Inside a castle in the Kreft Village, Soliven is standing in front of a round gateway made of dark stones.
He's holding Kukira by his neck and he remains unconscious.
Hemetus and Hackilion are standing on both of his sides. Soliven raises his hand to the gateway, and then he begins to utter unknown words.
As he's speaking, red lines are appearing bit by bit on Kukira's whole body, and the eyes of the boy open and they're bright red.
In the dark sky, a man covered by orange lightning is gliding at the speed of lightning. He reaches the stony edge connecting to a large dark entrance of a cave.
He looks at it and whispers, "This cave is where she's in? Smells fishy."
Then he walks toward the cave a bit of orange lightning is flickering around his whole body as his large orange lightning wings disappear.
He reaches the entrance and there his sharp orange pupils glow a bit and then every dark corner becomes clear in his eyes.
A firefly lands on his shoulder and he looks at it; the fireflies radiate bright orange light and explode.
The smoke explodes revealing Semfes whose eyes are seriously staring forward, and the orange lightning barrier around his whole body breaks apart.
"I'm not taking any," Semfes closes his hands as his eyes narrow, "tricks like this."
Semfes looks around him and sees a middle-aged woman standing near him.
"Are you the lady with the Y?" Semfes asked.
Escarfra didn't speak but fireflies are appearing around her whilst Semfes remains standing in his position.
He clicks his tongue. "There's a phenomenon coming that will lead this world to its destruction!
"I've traveled from afar, and this is what I'm going to face?! Wait–!"
Semfes' hands are loosening while speaking to her, "Fireflies? I remember someone from that technique."
She begins to make the fireflies disappear and she points her index finger at him. "Are you the boy that defeated Revior?"
"It is me," Semfes inhales deeply, "are you going to protest against me? Fine, if that'll happen I'll take you on."
Orange lightning appears around him once again as heavy forces of winds are occurring from him.
Semfes' eyes are painted by madness while closing his hands.
"Calm down, my champion," Fami appears beside Semfes, "she's no other than the Escarfra with the Y. Look at her closely and you'll see who she truly is."
Semfes closes his eyes and the orange lightning and heavy forces of wind disappear.
He opens his eyes once again and says, "I only see her as a human needing to be protected."
Semfes begin to step forth to her, but he halts near her and says, "You must come along with me. There are many nagbabagane pursuing you, and if they happen to catch you then you might lead the world to its catastrophe."
He turns around while Escarfra remains to stare at him.
"Fine," she steps forward, "I'll go with you but may I know your name?"
"My name?" Semfes turned aside.
The ground begins to be moved by an extraordinary force, and one of the sharp pointed stones on the ceiling falls to Escarfra.
Semfes travels toward her at the speed of lightning, and then he holds her hand and sprints outward from the cave.
"You almost got hit," Semfes let go of her hand, "I'm glad that I saved you beforehand."
The Escarfra looks at the sky and her heart begins to beat faster and her thighs tremble as she begins to fall to her knees.
"What's happening?" Semfes goes beside Escarfra, "I don't understand, are you–!"
Semfes looks forward and lifts his hand only to catch a large sharp magma.
"Who are you!" Semfes broke the sharp magma in half.
He tosses the piece of sharp magma he's holding and in front of him, a fat nagbabagane can be seen with a huge mouth.
It swings its other sharp magma blade whilst Semfes points his index finger at his chest; from the middle of his index finger, a small fast orange lightning emerges and pierces the chest of the fat nagbabagane.
The nagbabagane disperses to pieces as the wind carries its remains. He looks at the sky only to see that it's now red, and he witnesses dark clouds with red lightning flickering on them.
"It has begun," Fami whispered in his ear.
Meanwhile, Ranaliantra is standing between Kofta and Shremiah, and all of them are staring at the red sky.
"I can't use my power," Ranaliantra says, "it's still affecting me."
"Let's go to the castle!" Shremiah turned around and walked away from them.
Meanwhile, people inside a village are running away as they're screaming and some are whining.
Lianna and Marie are holding each other arms as they remain standing in their position while witnessing nagbabagane picking humans and biting their flesh and digesting it.
"We must go now!" Marie pulls Lianna but her eyes widen," Lianna! Let's go!"
Lianna swings her arm from her as she remembers a moment from his memories.
In that memory, in front of the large wooden mansion, Lianna is standing in front of Escarfra while the sunlight is shining over them.
"You're doing great," Escarfra closes her eyes and smiles, "just a bit of practice and you'll be able to master your ability."
"My ability?" Lianna looks at her hands, "I don't think that I must use this… I'm afraid that I am not suitable enough to save thousands of people from harm."
"My dear Lianna," Escarfra points at her cat ears, "don't be afraid of your difference from a human being. You are also like us but you're being misunderstood by them."
Escarfra puts her hand down yet she remains to stare into her eyes. "You want to chase Semfes, right? You want to fulfill the righteousness that he seeks?"
"Yes." Lianna nodded while staring into Escarfra's eyes.
Escarfra smiles a bit. "What exactly is that righteousness? Can you truly be an aid to his dream? Or are you just a listener that will do nothing but listen to him?"
Presently, Lianna closes her eyes and opens them once again. She turns around and stares into Marie's eyes which are widening.
"My dream is to aid Semfes in his dream to make everything right," Lianna laughs softly and turns around, "I don't care if you're scared. I'll do anything to make everything right even if no one will care about my dream!"
Lianna begins to scramble towards the burning gigantic humanoids whilst Marie is reaching her hands to her comrade.
The multiple nagbabagane drop the humans, and all of them release their cries of anger as they're dashing toward Lianna.
Lianna continues to amble toward them, and with every step, she takes: a green aura is manifesting on her hands.
Lianna punches the nagbabagane closer to her and it flies away and then she jumps backward and avoids the nagbabagane.
Unbeknownst to her, a bigger nagbabagane is standing behind her, ergo, the larger nagbabagem is swaying its bigger dark muscular hands toward her.
Lianna crouches and bounces and avoids the bigger hands from hitting her. She jumps in the air and goes toward the larger nagbabagane, and then she punches his face and it breaks to pieces.
The other nagbabagane remains running toward Lianna while she lands on the ground.
She looks at them and all of their heads separate from their neck.
Lyn arrives in a crouching position while her back is facing Lianna. Lyn swings her sword and put it back into its sheath, and then she turns aside and runs once again at the speed of the wind.
"It's not nagbabagane that I'm pursuing, it's always been him," Lyn said while traveling at the speed of the wind.
Meanwhile, Semfes and Escarfra arrive in the village infiltrated by nagbabagane. Escarfra begins to step forward but a hand blocks the way.
She looks at Semfes whose hand is blocking the way.
He looks at her and says without any hint of anger. "Stand behind me. I don't want you to interfere."
Escarfra's yellow eyes begin to radiate a bright light while she's glaring at him. "Are you belittling my capability? I'm not that weak, you know?"
"As long as you're under my wing," orange lighting wings sprout from his back, "you're under my care even if you like it or not."
Multiple fireflies appear around them and all of them breathe a stream of fire toward him. Escarfra steps out of the wide flames and turns around and then stares at the huge flames.
She speaks, "You would have been alive if you didn't stop intruding on my desires."
"We've found you!" a certain nagbabagane roared at Escarfra.
She looks at where the voice came from and she sees hundreds of nagbabagane glaring at her while releasing low hard cries.
Semfes remains standing in the flames, hence, he flaps his large wings and causes a strong force of the wind which extinguishes the flames.
Semfes moves at greater speed toward the gigantic flaming humanoids whilst Escarfra remains standing in her position while gazing at him.
Semfes flies straight to the hundreds of nagbabagane, and then he swings his orange lightning-covered hands and cuts the nagbabagane to pieces.
Semfes lands across multiple pieces of dark burning rocks. He turns around and his eyes widen. "Behind you!"
Escarfra turns around and her eyes widen at the sight of Semfes aiming his orange lighting blade at Lianna's neck.
"Who are you?" Semfes asked calmly but his voice brought a menacing aura.
"That's Lianna!" Escarfra holds his shoulder, "I can't believe that you're going to kill an innocent woman! Idiot!"
"Lianna?" Semfes swayed his orange lightning blade aside and it vanished.
He stares at Lianna whose eyes are gazing at him. He turns away from them and tells them while looking at the red sky. "I apologize."
"My dear champion," Fami appears in front of his eyes, "I must tell you that Kukira has been taken away! You need to go to the castle to prevent his people from bringing him into this world!"
"I can't comprehend it," Semfes tells her, "why are you making me do this? I don't have any tremendous power to stop such a powerful creature.
"What is your connection to him? Who is this Arak?!"
Fami extends her white glowing hands to the side of his head, and every creatures, skies, and objects stop moving.
She tells him. "I'll show you who he truly is."
Semfes' eyes shut down, and then he opens his eyes and looks at Fami who's standing beside him.
Both of them are floating above a scenery of a young man with dark skin, red short hair, and a handsome face.
He's standing in front of a young pale woman with yellow hair, and her mug displays an extraordinary beauty.
"Arak is my brother in the flesh," she tells Semfes, "he was a nice young man with such incredible capabilities like sharp eyesight, and a thick healthy mind."
"But if he was that smart," Semfes looks at her, "why and how did he turn evil?"
She gently swings her hand, and henceforth, the scenery in front of her changes.
The sky turns red, and they're witnessing Arak standing in front of Fami; both of them are holding sharp swords while a huge fire is occurring nearby, and pieces of the arena are laying around them.
"He was a kind, soft-hearted man," she closes her eyes and opens them once again, "but his thirst for the throne changes who he is, and it made him kill our father and those people who did nothing but treat us fairly.
"They treated us with kindness but my brother treated them as nothing but slaves."
Semfes asks, "But where did you go wrong? If he was treated like that then what happened for him to do all of those killings?"
Fami looks down with sad eyes. "Sometimes, the nicest people in this world are the most vulnerable to such changes that can lead them either to doing kind or evil things."
Semfes moves his eyes away from her and looks down. "I'm sorry for your loss but is there any way that we can help him?"
Fami narrows her eyes. "Yes, go and seal him but the seal will be the equivalent of you losing Vixo's power."
She turns toward him and gently holds his hand. "You can kill him but if you want to change his ways and purify him then use all of Vixo's power to do that."
His eyes widen as he's staring at his palms while multiple thoughts are running through his mind.
