The Dark Heir
Combat between spirits

The sound of flowing river water felt very soothing to me.The night bug that sounded adds to the impression that nature never sleeps.Cold weather feels piercing my bones.

This was my first night after leaving the royal capital.In every village or house we passed, we saw the faces of the three of us who became fugitives number 1 in the Kingdom of Heragon.

"Hey Gerald, aren't you asleep?" greet Nyx while sitting next to me.

"No, I can't sleep at all" I replied."How's yours?"

"Yes, I almost never sleep" replied Nyx.

All the events that we experienced before continued to spin in my head.The last words of the mother continued to haunt my mind.Making my appetite and sleep desire to disappear.

Suddenly a noise rang out behind us.Without a second thought I immediately jumped and ran towards the source of the sound.Nyx just fell silent at my behavior.

"Gerald! Help me!"

The closer to the source of the sound, I pulled out my dark sword.Please, don't take my brother away from me...

"Sister!"

I was silent.There was no commotion at all.Lilia and Robert seemed to fall asleep peacefully.My body was soaked with sweat.My head felt throbbing hurt me.

"Gerald, calm down.There's nothing" said Nyx who suddenly appeared from behind me.

I had a terrible hallucination.Previous events made me feel very weak and helpless.

"Are you okay, man?" ask Nyx."Maybe you need a glass of water to calm yourself down".

I nodded slowly, agreeing to the offer from Nyx.My mind felt so messed up that it caused a great headache.

"You know? The first time you experience it is very difficult, my friend" Nyx said, handing him a glass of cold water.

"What do you mean?"

"I know what you feel, loss, resentment, anger, sadness, I've experienced that"

Nyx stared at the night sky.Tonight the sky looks very bright.The scattered stars rule the sky, although the wind that blows feels very cold.

"It will always imprint in our souls.But if we make it as a source of strength ourselves, then we will consider it as a bad thing" said Nyx.

I'm completely out of words.What Nyx tells me is not wrong at all.

"You know Nyx?"

"Yes?"

"I'm grateful enough to have a friend like you" I said with a big smile.

Nyx was silent looking at me.Slowly her face looks changed color to be like a boiled crab.

"You should have said such a thing as Gerald grew up" Nyx replied with her blushing face.

Honestly, I am really grateful to have a friend like Nyx.He is not a human being, but his kindness exceeds the human beings in this world.

"Gerald, do you hear?" ask Nyx suddenly.

I put both my ears well.The sound of horse footsteps rang from a distance.Some torch light was also visible from my position.

"Damn them come" I said." Xnh! Quickly take Robert and Lilia to cover".

Nyx did not move at all.His gaze seemed to be filled with fear.His entire body trembled in fear.Slowly he pointed towards the approaching group.

"Let's see Gerald"

I turned my gaze towards the group.Suddenly my whole body shook like Nyx.Fearful and desperate feelings filled my soul.

A very strong light magic aura felt in the entourage.This is not a human magic aura, no human has a magic aura like this.The owner of such magic aura is the same as Nyx.

They are not human beings, but the spirit of light, the opponent of the spirit of darkness.

Nyx gave off her dark magic aura.Both of her eyes turned bright red.Dark, black-colored swords came out from both of her hands.

"I'm really going to finish him off" whispered Nyx with a hideous smile.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked as soon as I saw Nyx retreat into the trees.

"Take a swing" replied Nyx.

Robert and Lilia had woken up from their sleep.Both were already in a standby position.The cold pierced back was felt thanks to the presence of Robert.Bulu kuduk me standing due to Lilia's electricity.

From a distance the Sentinels were getting closer.Their horse race sounded stronger.

"Greet my close friend" whispered Nyx.

Nyx jumped with both hands holding a sharp scythe.The Sentinelese formation immediately split.Robert and Lilia advanced, entering into the battle area.

"Nyx! The gatekeeper of darkness!" shouted someone from the Sentinelese line.

"For a long time no see, Nora", replied Nyx.

A man in a white robe and his long sword advanced neared Nyx.Aura magic light emanated from him.His body looked burly and his skin was smooth without any scars.

"Gerald, get your two brothers out of here" Nyx ordered.

I nodded in agreement to Nyx.Honestly, I don't want to fight against all of them.I don't want to kill or hurt anyone anymore.

"Sister! let's get out of here!", I said to Robert and Lilia who were fighting.

"Go? what do you mean?", asked Robert without distracting himself from the Sentinel standing before him.

"Nyx is asking us to get out of here! please brother!", reply me.

Robert did not heed my invitation at all.So did Lilia.They both looked very savage and cruel.One by one the Sentinels fell in their hands.Not leaving a single one.

"Tell your friend, we won't go" replied Robert covered in blood and earth.

From a distance, I saw Nyx and Nora fighting each other.There was no sign of either of them starting to budge.Splashes of fire appeared between the friction of their weapons.

"You forgot our last fight, Nyx? didn't you lose that moment shamefully?" nora.

"Therefore I am ready to duel again and kill you this time" replied Nyx.

"We have to help him" whispered Robert.

Lilia and I immediately turned their eyes to Robert.The two ice swords in his hand were already seen starting to melt.The blood of the Sentinels he killed still flowed in both hands.

"Are you crazy? you can die fighting them!" lilia.

Slowly, he began to walk closer to Nyx and Nora who were fighting.The healthy will of this child has really disappeared.No human being can survive the fight they both.

I have not had time to forbid Robert, he has gone to Nyx quickly.The boy is really crazy.Only death will befall him if he joined the fight with them.

"Death to Nyx!" exclaim Nora with her sword slash from above.

Nyx had not taken a defensive position at all.It was so open that Nora's sword could slash her in half.Nyx could not dodge Nora's surprise attack.

Suddenly a young man with his cold sword drove away the speed of Nora's sword.His cold breathing made this battle air extremely cold.

"What is Nyx? You used this ugly slave to protect you?" nora taunts.

"I am not a slave to him" replied Robert.

His eyes were really sharp.From both his hands began to form a thin layer of ice, which signified that he was really angry.

"Not slaves? Thats impossible. Then what are you really if you're not a slave?"

"I'm..."

Robert turned his gaze to Nyx who was sprawled.With a sharp look, he looked back at Nora.

"I am his friend..."

Seriate....
