SON OF THE LIGHT

Chapter 1-30 

Inevitable Confrontation.

As they approached onto the entry of the city, the damage done on this side was much more gruesome than on the lower levels, the blood of the people flowed almost like a river towards her feet as she continued to run without stopping, she was almost exhausted, but she couldn’t stop, otherwise she would lose sight of that beast who look like his brother.

The man introduced as Hilbert continued slowly behind me as he continued to speak about the situation surrounding them.

Hilbert: Are you okay Miss Kenai?

Kenai: What’s your concern Hilbert?

Hilbert: Is just…these are your people…I can’t imagine the pain you must be going through.

Kenai: There is no time for these concerns to cloud my mind, right now we have to reach my brother Alex.

Hilbert decides to not press on the matter further, although he notices something in Kenai’s tone that concerns him.

They reached a cross where the beast takes an impossible change of direction without losing any sort of momentum, which caught Kenai and Hilbert off guard, making them both loss sight of him as they were not immediately behind him.

They eventually manage to reach the cross of roads and run towards Alex’s direction, where they see him standing at the base of corpses surrounding him, all of them with this distinct face of horror.

Hilbert stops in its tracks when he sees all of the corpses, causing him to shake in his place at the sight of such gore and slaughters, but Kenai instead looks towards Alex while slowly walking towards him, although she is briefly stopped by Hilbert, who puts his hands on his shoulder.

Hilbert: Miss Kenai, don’t get any closer to that thing-

Kenai: That thing is my brother!

Hilbert: I-I understand you are concerned with him, but you saw him yourself: Whatever is happening to him, is not normal.

Kenai: He’s far from normal, but he was protecting us.

Kenai pushed Hilbert’s hand off her, where she continued to walk towards the beast before being stopped short in her tracks when she felt something looking at her, causing her to stop moving, she wasn’t sure what was happening, but this uneasiness, this fear, nothing like this had ever happened to her before.

Hilbert quickly got close to her and pulled her behind him with shield in hand.

I recognize you.

Every atom in Hilbert’s body told him to run, yet sill he stood in front of Kenai while the beast only look at something else in front of him.

You stole my joy of killing them all.

a small gust of wind started to form behind him, causing Hilbert to be pushed back alongside Kenai onto the floor.

I’m going to have so much fun in killing you.

And just like, in less of the blink of the eye, a noise was heard.

BOOM

This came from cliff in front of the beast, which caused all the trees from it to explode suddenly without any reason, until Kenai saw it:

The beast had shattered the cliff, showering debris towards them at an impressive velocity.

Hilbert immediately runs towards the pile of corpses before putting his shield up, while Kenai quickly dodge the incoming barrage of rocks and metals towards his way.

When it finally stopped, she directed her attention to the beast, which was pressing his entire arm towards an insane man who managed to held off the beast with his own inhuman strength, they both stared down the other with a maniacal smile.

Kenai was only snapped back to reality when she heard her name being called.

Hilbert: Miss Kenai! Are you alright?

Kenai: Y-yeah…Are you okay Hilbert?

When she looked at him, she noticed a frail little girl behind him with her eyes closed tight while holding a doll, an innocent civilian in-between the horrible scene that unfolded unto the city.

She recognizes her as the girl who defended Alex, and as soon as that clicks, she runs towards them.

Kenai: It’s going to be okay, we will take you somewhere safe little girl.

But even after saying such words, the girl wouldn’t move from her position no matter how much Kenai pushed her from side to side, all the meanwhile Hilbert stood paralyzed when he saw the cliffside.

Kenai: Hilbert! Take her away from here! I will stay here to help my brother.

Hilbert: S-stop looking…at me…

Kenai: Hilbert?

Kenai saw fear in the soldier’s eyes, it wasn’t an unfamiliar look to her, but one that surprised her nonetheless.

Kenai: Soldier Hilbert!

Hilbert however, only walked back until he tripped on his back, all while not losing contact with the beast and Vinny.

Hilbert: P-please… LEAVE ME ALONE!

He immediately started to run away from the scene into the other side of the city without looking back.

Kenai: HILBERT! Where are you going?!

Kenai tried reaching out to him, but it was far too late, as he just vanished into the woods where he appeared, all the while another earth shattering sound impacts rights besides her, causing her to be launched towards one of the houses, where she landed with her back on the remains of such.

An excruciating snap is heard as Kenai lets out a whimpering yell before falling onto the cold wet floor on the house, all while looking at the little girl running towards her.

Lucia: M-miss Beth!

Kenai immediately forces her eyes open with her last amounts of effort, only to see an reality change be formed in her existence; She manages to see the cold body of an old woman lying without care into the floor, her stomach sliced wide open and blood flowing out of it slowly, but she didn’t have to see her face to realize who Lucia was running to.

With that last thought in her mind and strength, she lets out a final thought in her mind.

Kenai: (Mom..?)

With a lack of strength, Kenai falls unconscious where a battle between an unstoppable beast and an experienced hunter ensues.
