The Demon Child - Awakening

Chapter 27 - 27 - Week A story of Shinri's ancient past

In an ancient elven wood, during the war of the four legions, and after Drundon split the energy source to the nine elements. The war became shambles due to this, the spirits also made it harder for the war to keep going. The silent elven group, the dark bows were chasing down a certain enemy.

The dark elf Shinri was leading her squad against the attacker, jumping from tree to tree, keeping an eye out for the enemy. Shinri was leading the group, keeping her elf eyes open. After no longer than a minute, Shinri found the enemy. A single Dragonoid, hidden underneath a cape, but with its tail fully showing.

"Dark bows, the target found, follow me," Shinri shouted.

All the elves in the squad nodded, not daring to go against their leader's command.

Shinri focused her source of Darkness into her legs, now shattering branches whenever she stood a foot and was gaining speed on the Dragonoid. The Dragonoid did not notice until the very last second when Shinri cut the Dragonoid's robes.

The Dragonoid gained its footing and was ready to fight. As the rest of the squad appeared behind Shinri, each one knew who this Dragonoid was. Scales that were as red as a crimson moon, eyes as yellow as the sun, wings as white as snow. She was the Dragonoid of the blood mist, Alicia.

Known for burning the skin off her enemies with her source of light and covered in blood that had stained her scales, leaving them the colour of a crimson moon. Knowing how dangerous Alicia was, all the elves backed away, other than Shinri who instead stepped forward.

"Blood mist Alicia, hand over the information and become the prisoner for the human empire," Shinri yelled at the Dragonoid.

"You can try to pry it out of my cold dead hands," Alica replied.

"Very well,"

Shinri dashed at Alicia, disappearing from her sight. Confused at how it happened it was too late. Shinri held Alicia's wings in her hands. The Dragonoid wings are the pride of their race, it shows scars and might with their size.

"Please have mercy, I'll give you back the information, I'll tell you anything, just please don't tear off my wings!" Alicia pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Denied," Shirni replied in a cold tone.

After half a second of pulling muscles and bones, Shinri ripped off Alicia's wings, making blood spurt everywhere. Alicia started to screech in pain and terror and was now asking the elves to end her suffering. Shinri knocked Alicia out with her foot, she then rummaged through a bag Alicia was carrying and then walked back to her group.

"Leave her, she'll die of her wounds, we have to get this information back to base," Shinri ordered everyone.

"But mistress Shirni, what if Alicia of the blood mist doesn't die and returns to the Dragonoid tribe, knowing the information," A young yellow-headed boy elf replied.

"What is your name, new boy?"

"Edaha,"

"Well Edaha, there is one thing you should know-"

Less than a second later, Edahas entire throat was ripped out, and Shirni was holding it.

"-Nobody defies Shinri of the dark forest, ever," She continued.

Shinri and the rest of the group went back up to the trees and were heading back to their base. About halfway there, the group stopped, marvelling at what was in front of them. The entire forest in front of them was burning. Blood-curdling screams of elves and other races were everywhere.

Snapping out of the torment quickly, Shirni took action.

"Everyone! Start using your abilities to put out this fire!" Shinri yelled out.

Her entire group followed her orders and used a very ounce of their being to help stop their home from being destroyed.

"I'm afraid that won't do," A mysterious voice echoed from inside the fire.

Before Shirni could react, her throat was clasped by the time lord spirit Kirigaya.

That was the final memory Shirni gave me, her looking into Kirigaya's amber eyes.

"So that's how Alicia got her soul ability and I saw a glimpse of Kirigaya's massacre," I thought.

Right then, I couldn't see anything in Antral. I was being tortured for information, although I didn't have much, the torturer didn't agree. I haven't gotten a blink of sleep due to the pain, but I was guessing the time. I couldn't blink, my eyes were extracted, hoping that it would make it easier to tell them what they wanted.

The torturer at his meals loudly and snored for a long time. After three meals and a long snoring session without getting tortured, I assumed that was one day. And after twenty-one meals and seven long snoring sessions, I believed that it had been a week.

My body was getting drowsy and I was able to get to sleep, I had to tell Jododam about this. I woke up in my room in Antrite, not caring about eating or drinking anything for seven days, I ran out of my room to find Jododam. It was morning so I didn't have much time before the torturer was going to start another session.

I ran to the same room that I first met Jododam in this body, and he was there. Jododam looked around to see me, his facial expression not changing from his emotionless face.

"Jododam, Gener is creating artificial Chimeras," I panted.

Jododam finally realizing, he rushed to me and held me up.

"More information, now, we haven't heard from you in a week," Jododam replied.

"Right now, I'm being tortured, I'm not sure, but I think if I experience too much pain, I can't traverse to the opposite world,"

"No about the chimeras,"

"They can mass-produce them, this could create a war between them, I'm not sure if Gener is the mastermind though-,"

I coughed up a lot of blood, Jododam still holding me in place.

"Sorry, but I believe that the torturer is starting, tell Lucyfer, Astaroth, Xirax and Abatson to get ready,"

"Understood, thank you Dynestar,"

I closed my eyes and was awakened to a severe amount of pain. The torturer was, cutting off my finger. I yelled in pain.

"Oh good, you're awake, are you ready for more extraction," The torturer whispered in my ear.

"You better be ready for your final moments,"

"We'll see," The torturer then punched me in the face.

Unlike last time, I gained an ability. Even though I was blind, I could still see something. It was a faint purple, a figure with a white outline. My guess then is that I can now see the soul and the source of a person.

After the torture was over, the torturer sat down and picked something up. I looked at what he was holding and saw that it had the same colour as my source, telling me that they were my eyes. The torturer put my eyes down and picked something up which I couldn't see. He put it to his mouth and started to slurp.

After he was done, my plan was ready. Each one of the chains could break at any second due to how cold they are.

"Are you ready to experience another wonderous time?" The torturer asked me.

"Not me, but you will experience that,"

"Don't become so c.o.c.ky, I'll teach you why you shouldn't…" The torturer stopped talking for a moment.

"Y-your hair, it's changed," He then stuttered.

Hearing those words, I broke out of the chains and grabbed his neck. I put my air source into my hands which then erupted into his neck. By what it sounded like, my source of air has developed into lightning.

The torturer's soul then fell to the ground, I probably knocked him out. I looked back and saw that my eyes were still there. I felt that they were both in separate glass jars. I opened both the jars and put my eyes back into their sockets painfully. After my eyes were put back, I could see again.

I looked back again to see that the torturer had passed out on the floor. I came up towards him and wondered. How shall I kill you?
