A cold breeze of northern winds swiftly caressed her skin as she walked in the depths of the forest. She kept on strolling around; finding an alternate route that will lead her home but what she can see is complete darkness. Bearing the same courage she had when she was once a mighty warrior, she did not falter and kept on searching for a way out. Until a ball of fire came quickly to her direction, forcing her to use a massive force to dodge the fire in which she eventually succeed. However, when she stood on her two feet, the surrounding is being burned down by the fire and it quickly shifted into something she never wanted to witness again.
"N-no." she stuttered. Fear crept into her mind; her tears are starting to blur her visions and now, she's desperately trying to escape the awful scenery where she can hear how people scream for justice and mercy, the sound of clashing weapons, and the smell of stale blood. She keeps on running, with the hope that she can escape this labyrinth of nightmares.
Let me escape, please.
That is the only thing that she has on mind. Suddenly, a little amount of light made her notice a familiar figure. Without any trace of hesitation, she followed the figure as if it is her only salvation in this place that is tainted with despair. Until on one corner, it stopped.
"Goddess" the familiar man said in a gentle voice.
By the moment she heard that, excitement automatically registered in her teary eyes. A smile formed in her lips as she continuously stares at the person who stands in front of her. The person she's longing to be with, someone she lost because of her being incompetent and weak.
She was about to take another step but then, an unexplained force forbid her to do so. It's as if an unseen person was restraining her movements.
"What----" she did not manage to finish her sentence when she heard him screamed in a voice with remarks of pain. Like her, he cannot move even if he's exasperatedly trying to retaliate with the massive force that restrains him.
The dark energy is felt by them as the dark forces finally revealed themselves, it seems like everything that happens agreed to their plans. Few footsteps beneath her were heard, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal chains, a dark shadow quickly moves to Zilong's direction. In a blink of an eye, the flame of hope that was ignited in her eyes moments ago, ceased. It was now replaced by an astounding fear that froze her. Now, she can't run away and their only choice was to witness how these crucial villains corrupt the world with darkness.
"Long time no see, Freya" said a voice full of sarcasm while his lips start curling into a devilish smirk.
"And I think it's your time to scream, Goddess" without another word, the dark figure wave his sword, slashing Zilong's armor, leaving him weak enough to die anytime sooner. Inflicted by severe wounds, he cannot even manage to make a single move but he used all his strength to look and smile at her and bitterly uttered the words..
"Run, r-run save yourself F-freya…"
