Maritis Perseverance

The night one day ago, before the morning that Jaino had awakened on Criselia"s lap Flashback 03~

As Maritis manages to avoid the attack, her eyes notice at faraway the other lusus turns its eyes back at her . She inhales and holds her breathe; for this transforms the collision of her body like a ghost . The lusus faraway suddenly fades and disappears . Zooming of wind and booming sounds travel all over the cave"s chamber . From the distance away behind from Maritis, the wide part of wall cracks and has hollowed by the spear— wielded by a lusus —that digs deeply onto the wall"s surface .

Maritis disappears . She appears— hunkering while one of her hand on the ground —a distance far away from the front of the eyes-closed old man . She turns and raises, and she faces this old man while she breathes . She thinks, It"s no good . If this goes on; he would notice my weakness and I can"t antic.i.p.ate his attack .

"You"re . untouchable . little one . But, I"m fair enough . And fear me enough . Your dagger is useless on my subordinates" muscles . Why did you challenge me?" has asked by the eyes-closed old man .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThose two Lususes walk near behind the old man; they have stood each into the old man"s left and right side .

"First, tell me, why are you trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate the prince?" has asked by Maritis .

"Little one . I ask you . Don"t give me a question . "

"You are, with the scheme . "

"Ha . Ha . Ha . This . is . my . territory . You, intruder . "

"Then, I have nothing to tell you . "

"Very well, have fun with your friends . " On each of their stance, those lususes each arrives quickly into each Maritis side nearby, and they swing their spears .

This Maritis appears above behind at one of the Lususes and she throws the knife to the old man . She thinks, I can do it .

Amused, this old man raises his hand as his fingers try to grip the air . "Useless . attack . " But the knife continues in pace . He thinks, It . didn"t . stop .

The knife pa.s.ses through across his head, and to the distance the dagger digs in the ground .

My goodness! It fails . I need more practice for this, has thought by Maritis as she has landed to the ground . The nearby lusus swings his spear whereas Maritis has jumped . Hearing the booming above the ceiling, this Maritis kicks the face of the lusus nearby, this pushes herself away . In front of her, a distance to her view and body; a spear digs the ground and the wielder has landed .

Maritis tumbles into the ground . After she has settled, she disappears . She appears to where her knife with blade buried on the ground . She draws her knife; she stands and stares at her opponents . She thinks, Imbuing the right duration of ghost-like collision to other objects is difficult to achieve . But, this is my only option to overcome this battle . I just hope, jet lag won"t ever affect to me right now, either I won"t be drown into the other s.p.a.ce .

Note: Imbuing ghost-like collision, is the ability of Medou to disembody other objects in a certain duration, yet it retains the objects" image .

"You"ve impressed me, little one," has said by the eyes-closed old man, still wouldn"t move or just turn around from his current position . "I suppose, I give you a hint .

"Killing the prince, shall give your queen the answer of her current problems . I know the current state of our problems . I have many informants all over the castle . Their loyalty affix to me . I already live two centuries, so I have met the two previous queens; and I know everything about the queen, the third one that I had met, the mother of our current queen . So little one, why are you confronting me?"

Maritis responds, "A mere criminal trying to help the kingdom, what the h.e.l.l . " She hears the old man loudly laughs . "I"m here to have your head and present it to my queen . "

This old man turns and faces Maritis . "Since you have at least a tiny chance of winning . As pity, I"ll accept your challenge . I am Eladin Ka Novah, a sprit . I"ll be your opponent . Entertain me little one . "

Sprit, they are norims gifted with strength, psychic, and spirit; and can live centuries .
