The Cursed Bloodline
The Beginning of an End Arc: Sayonara, Mirai.

As Yukio said, in the real world Aora is struggling to save Mirai's soul from Nue's entanglement with all her efforts. Little by little, Nue's dark energy began to shift from Mirai's body to Aora's.

Aora's efforts were not in vain, slowly the red look on both of Mirai's eyes began to fade. Now slices as beautiful as lavender flowers again adorn the gaze of sayu Mirai. Nue's soul had already completely disappeared from Mirai's body. The long-haired girl finally lost her consciousness, and fell into Aora's lap.

Aora slightly frowned, the pain started to radiate all over her body. Not only that, a Snow Seal emblem was also visible on his palm. The Snow Symbol was a seal emblem that ensnared the immense power within his body. Even so, thanks to Aorasu's strength, Aora was still able to maintain her consciousness.

The blood red moon began to gradually disappear. While in the dark sky, the Sun is almost getting its light back. The time to eliminate Nue was almost over. Aora realized, it also meant that the time was not long.

Gently, Aora rubbed Mirai's face. His voice called out the name of the woman who was sleeping on his lap.

"Mirai.... "

Mirai's eyelids started to blink, slowly she started to open her eyes. The first thing Mirai saw was Aora's worried face. Tear drops slowly flowed from the eye patch of sayu Mirai, falling slowly following the curves of her face.

" A-aora? " murm Mirai slowly.

" Hm... Its me. " Aora simply nodded with a mouthful of a wry smile. Honestly, he had no power to face the harsh reality, that he would also leave Mirai alone.

Mirai has lost enough of the people she cares about, even now Mirai has to accept the fact that Aora is going away from her side.

Aora tried to make Mirai sit leaning against her chest. The gray-haired man clasped Mirai's hand tightly.

"You okay? " Mirai just nodded slowly to answer Aora's question.

" What- "aora's voice choked, the pain returned he felt. However, he still had to hide it from Mirai. Aora regained her breathing, and continued her words that had been cut off.

" Do you still feel pain, Mirai? "

" no. I'm fine, Aora. "

" Thankfully. "

Aora as much as she could, hid her feelings from Mirai. Dark magic had already spread throughout Aora's body, the intense pain that left her face covered in cold sweat.

"Mirai." said Aora with a trembling voice. Hitting Aora's call, Mirai shifted her fond gaze onto Aora's face. Strange things Mirai felt.

" Why, your hands are so cold, Aora? Your face is also sweating. "

Mirai clasped tightly onto Aora's cold hand. Not only that, Aora's normally warm hands were now shaking. Mirai was not stupid, she realized something was happening. Mirai immediately moved, this time she threw her worried gaze at Aora.

" Tell me what, what's wrong with you? My strength may not have fully recovered. But I can feel, something terrible filling your soul! What the hell is going on? "

Aora did not answer Mirai's question, she took the life sword beside her.

Aora made Mirai grasp the blunt sword. Meg aimed her blade right in front of her. Seeing that, Mirai could only raise her eyebrows in astonishment. Isn't this the sword given by the great hermit Tora?

"Why is this sword on you? "

Mirai recalled again, wasn't Nue being sealed into her. Then why does he feel okay? Earlier the torment of the mustard made him almost dead.

" Don't tell me, you "reality slapped Mirai, he seemed to understand why Aora gave him that life sword.

" Let's end this....Fate is cursed among us. You have to save everyone, and also save me. I beg you, Mirai. " said Aora with a quivering voice.

Sealing Nue into her body, made Aora endure an unusually strong torment of pain. Even with Aorasu's strength, his body couldn't hold on any longer.

" To save my life. You sealed Nue into your body?! Why are you doing that?! "

" I'm sorry. " That's the only word that came out of Aora's mouth. One word, millions of meanings.

Aora also grasped the sword in Mirai's grasp. Miraculously, the blade of the sword that was once blunt, turned pointed in an instant. The dense life energy now filled his entire blade.

Like Tora's message, the sword could not kill the enemy. The sword exists to save those who are precious to their owners. The sword has chosen.

With the power of life, Mirai can save everyone and also get the man she loves out of the torment of pain due to Nue's entanglement. Although that meant, he had to slash Aora's body with that sword.

Brusssh's....

Blood started to come out from Aora's mouth, she had even started to lose her consciousness. Both of his brownish-red beads began to dim. Nue's power ripped Aora's soul from within.

"No... " Mirai who saw that, can only doubt its history. Seeing Aora endure intense pain, made her heart over 100 times more painful.

"I'm sure you can get through this. You're a tough girl. For that Mirai, I beg you. Free me from this pain.... "

Aora knew her request to Mirai was very heavy. But, all that Mirai had to do. At least for Aora. Dead in the hands of the woman he loved, it was the best choice Aora could take. He knew he could not be saved. His soul had been snared by the agreement between him and Aorasu, even without sealing Nue, he was about to die.

" No! Aorah! I can't do it! "

Mirai shook her head quickly. How could he kill Aora with his own hands.

Aora smiled softly, as she wiped Mirai's dripping tears. His hand turned tightly to grip both hands of Mirai who was holding the life sword. Slowly, Aora began to guide Mirai's hand, along with it, she began to advance her body.

Brasss..

Aora's body pierced through the sharp blade of the Life sword. His blood even hit Mirai's hands that were still shaking.

"No... " Mirai rounded her eyes. He still can't believe what happened.

" It's my choice. You don't have to blame yourself... "

Mirai automatically hugged Aora's body tightly, not even for a second she wanted to take off her embrace. Aora's body was getting weaker second by second.

" no.... Aoras... "

Aora tries to take off Mirai's embrace. For the last time, his brownish-red bead stared fixedly at the pretty face in front of him. With his own bloodied hands, he stroked Mirai's wet cheeks. He hoped that it would calm Mirai with his touch.

" Thank you.... It's come into my dark life, Mirai. "

" No, Aora! You can't go like this! " mirai's cry grew even more, as she saw Aora's body begin to dim.

The sword force pierced through Aora's body. Slowly Nue's dark magic vanished into the blinding white light. Red rays began to appear on Aora's body, cracks and cracks occurred in several parts of her body. A broken pottery tub, Aora's body slowly decayed into small pieces of ash. Little by little it began to take away the gentle wind.

"Don't rule me out, Mirai. Seeing you is terrible, it makes my heart hurt even more... "

Aora realized, this might be her last farewell with Mirai. He saw his hand had been crushed into ashes. The time is up. Aora smiled softly towards Mirai. Although this will be a painful memory for Mirai, Aora wants her to be remembered with a smile.

" Mirai, Sayonara..... "

Instead of saying goodbye, Aora would rather say goodbye. At least it doesn't sound too painful. Either for him or Mirai.

......................

Aora's body was crushed into ashes. Along with his vanished body, sunlight began to propagate straight and illuminate the entire surface of the earth. The sky was dark, turning bright. There is no darkness, now there is only the light of the warm sun, sweeping the entire surface of the earth without exception.

A blue magic ball appeared. The clump broke apart and began to free the human soul. Human souls began to free, darting away in search of the existence of their bodies. Stone statues that were possessed by the soul, now began to decay and turn into a human again.

Everyone looked astonished, looking at the surrounding situation back as usual. There was no Yurei as far as the eye could see, the battle was really over.

"We are all free! We win! "

" Hooray! "

" We Succeed! "

The cheers of magic warriors echoed. Hotaru, Hisui, Ten and even Rou. They embrace each other, and enjoy their victories. Everyone was happy, except Mirai.

The girl was still weakly bowed, denying the departure of the person she loved the most. Mirai's fate is cruel. To save humanity, he must sacrifice his most precious possession. Now, he really feels alone.

Snow began to fall, even in the clear sky. Those fragile grains of ice carried a powerful life energy. Once the Snow hits the surface of the land, miraculously all life returns to life as it was. The trees that dry up and die, come back to life with their lushness. Not only that, the water that had dried up again flowed profusely. The power of life healed the forest animals that had eaten the dark aura of Kurasu.

The world is full of life again.

Mirai's tears fell to the ground. Without realizing it, someone stood in front of him.

The figure of the beautiful woman in white kimono, her entire body filled with life energy stared at Mirai iba. It comes along with the snow that heals life on earth.

The woman standing before Mirai was the Snow goddess.

"Yuki Mirai's.... "

The Snow Goddess began to extend her hand, touching Mirai's soft shoulder.

"You and the other two pillars have carried out the task that destiny has outlined for you. The world was free from Nue's entanglement. With this, the curse in your blood has already been fully lifted. "

Mirai raised her head. His eyes looked red as he continued to cry. He was so shocked he found himself standing in front of him. Mirai seemed to look in the mirror They were both very similar, even identical.

" You? "

" It's me, Snow Goddess. I understand how you feel right now. 10,000 years ago, I felt the same way. We lost the person we loved most. "

The snow goddess took back her sword. Now there is no excuse, the sword is on earth. The sword of life, simply vanished when the goddess Yuki touched it.

" Mirai, listen to me. You may lose your destiny at this time. But, if you can wait any longer. That fate will come back to you. You have to find your own destiny, Mirai. "

" A destiny, who will come back to me? "
