"Heavy sigh"
Well, where am I....
This is the first thought that crossed my mind after I opened my eyes. I was surrounded by pitch darkness
Am I really dead?
There was no answer for me, in this ringing silence. It felt like I was still in my fox form.... In the shape of a giant white fox. This battle was lost from the very beginning, but I hate to deviate from my given goal. This was a major mistake for me....
This was to be expected
To get into the thick of events caused by, neiko a cat. She broke the main rule and began to eat people
She thought she could get away with it
When it happened, I was returning from the store. Then panic. The shadow of something huge suddenly fell on me. When I looked up, I saw her. The first thought was
To run
I would have done that... But conscience. I was neiko and my main duty is to protect civilians and maintain the balance of the world
I had to do it
By assuming the form of a white fox with three tails, I broke the rule. But there was no turning back. No one was supposed to see me. No one should know about our existence. Magic is too big an opening for people
To act quietly was our main goal
I was smaller in size than this cat. I've always had little mana for normal spells. Usually in these situations, demons with whom Neiko has signed a soul contract help. However, my demon does not have any energy with him and was an empty shell
This spell may be my last
Part of me knew what I was going for. I was scared, but somewhere far away in my soul I was glad.... Helping and giving good to people has always brought me joy
Truth... I've always hated people.
One swipe of the paw... That was enough for me to understand... Who will emerge victorious from this battle
But I'm not going to give up
Hit.... I've already applied it... A little better than expected, but not enough. The difference in size plays a special role. The main thing is to try to take her to a less crowded place. For example, to the park. It is necessary to avoid major destruction of the city
Then the main battle began
My strength is gone. She grins triumphantly with her mouth decorated with blood. With my blood. She was able to bite through my neck. And I....
As always, she was too weak for such a battle
There is less and less air left. My lungs are gradually filling up with my blood. There is not a pleasant metallic taste in the mouth. Standing on trembling paws and breathing heavily, I tried to find the strength to make a decisive blow
I intend to fight to the end
With the last of my strength, I concentrate the remaining mana in my mouth to reproduce the last spell in my life.... Magic symbols appeared at underneath me , and a magic ball appears in the mouth. She looks at me in disbelief
- You know perfectly well that it will kill you - the cat brought, glistening in the sun with its golden fur - And I can easily dodge ... what? - there was a flicker of bewilderment in the brown eyes- How? I can't move?
I grinned inwardly. Thanks to Aida. Without his powers, he can do little but inspire fear... He can always do it. It may not be noticeable because of the great feeling of adrenaline. But fear paralyzes its victim. Not for long... But I have enough to reproduce the explosive beam
There is very little left and it will all be over....
Just a little bit....
The long-awaited finale
The enemy is defeated, and the hero is dead
But here I am, lying in the dark and waiting. What am I waiting for? I don't know anything... So that at least something would happen. I died, I had to meet death or the god of death
At least someone
But no, I'm not clear where. I do not know where Id is. I'm really scared. The darkness has always scared me....
A glow appeared somewhere in the distance
Dim and barely noticeable
I have to get to him
Standing on all my limbs, I moved out on the road. As I got closer, the glow became brighter, and I became smaller in size. Another sound began to be heard
Is someone crying?
With the time of walking, I became a person again and was already on my feet. And the glow became brighter and brighter. Soon I was blinded by a flash of light
Just for a moment
And now, a girl is sitting in front of me. She looks only about six years old. Short pink hair, black jacket with white sleeves and simple trousers
I not very like pink
She was sitting in a clearing dotted with various flowers and crying
- What happened?
She stopped crying for a moment
- Who are you? - two emeralds looked at me when the girl spoke
I squatted down next to her and hugged her
- My name is Kaykanna. And I promise that everything will be fine
I hope so
