1 Prologue

A town engulfed in flames and chaos runs rampant in its streets. Anguish wails and screams echoes. Dead burning bodies are scattered though out the place. The smell of burnt flesh and unearthly scent mingles in the air. Yet, amidst this mayhem a woman with ebony straight hair with purple eyes and a lean man with silver hair strides through the town searching for something, or someone. The dreadful stench surrounding the town and all it's turmoil doesn't seem to faze them as if they already used to it.

When they finally reached the outskirt of the own, an eerie silent deserted road greeted them. As they both completely got out of the town's vicinity they spotted a carriage with the duke's insignia, a lily of the valley flower. They immediately sprinted towards it but then, out of nowhere a hoard of soldiers confronted them. With the sudden bombardment of attacks against them, both the man and woman have no choice but momentarily stop and confront the soldiers surrounding them. Unsheathing both of her blades, the woman precisely slashes and cuts down numerous soldiers around her. The man too unsheathes his short sword and elegantly strikes down his enemies. Soon after their first strike they notice that the soldiers are actually undead beings probably summoned by the duke. With that in mind, the woman spits on both of her blades igniting them to be coated with ocean blue fire and she then brandish them with great vigor and strength. She then proceeds to incinerate all her enemies. The man on the other hand starts to chant while still wielding his short sword elegantly. As he chants, lighting starts to coat his blade. Burning down every foe his sword touches.

Even with their great skills and attacks the undead soldiers seems endless. The woman then catches a glimpse of the ever fading imagine of the carriage. "Tsk" the woman clicked her tongue then stabs the ground with one of her blade and gave it a twist, this ignited blue flames to shoot out from the ground burning almost all the undead soldiers. The man gave the woman a quick glance and sighs then he too finishes his chant. Lighting from the sky precisely hit and incinerated the leftover enemies.

Without enemies hindering them, they sprinted towards the carriage with great speed. As they were nearing the carriage close to an open field, *swish* an arrow suddenly hits the man in the back of his knee. He stumbles forward and falls. Then as he looks behind them, he saw the sky covered with arrows aimed at them.

"Shit"

Sensing the imminent danger, the woman immediately guards up then looks back. Without hesitation she shouts. Unexpectedly, her shout created powerful shock waves shattering the frightening countless arrows in midair. Without caring about the man, the woman heads towards the incoming arrows shattering them in midair through her powerful shock wave shouts. Accurately sensing the archers hidden by enchantments in the open field, she brutally cut the enemies in half before they could even aim.

The man looking at the arrow stuck at the back of his knee as he sits up, he sigh and pulled it out without a cry of pain. He then sits cross legged and let his gaze search for the woman, letting out another sigh. He held out his hand towards the sky and chants while another hand breaks a ember colored crystal upon shattering, a barrier was created around the man. And then, when the man finishes chanting, the whole sky turned red and bloody rains starts to pour on the open field, anything the rain touches corrodes only the woman isn't affected. Finally, the archers were wiped out and so the woman returns to the man and raises her eyebrow as she looks at him.

"How long do you plan to be crippled? Hurry up and heal yourself,"

The man only gently smiles at the woman as he obediently heals himself.

"We have to hurry or we'll miss him again"

They then continue sprinting towards the duke's coach. Just after a few moments they were able to catch up to the carriage of the duke. Ah they were able to lunch their attack, another hoard of undead again rose up to block them this time the woman didn't waste time and sends them crumbling with her dual blades blue flames. The man assists her by clearing out the path from shattered remains of the enemies. Closer and closer they get to the carriage, fighting their way to it.

When they were only a couple of meters away, the ground open up beneath them.

The woman quickly grabs the ledge letting go of both her blades in order to catch the falling man with her other hand. She throw him up and then she tries to pull herself up. Half way up, she notices a ice spear hurtling towards the man in great speed without a thought she lifts herself all the way up and pushes the man out of the way in one shift motion. The ice spear passes through the woman

flesh just below her left collarbone close to the heart. Blood instantly gushes out. Although, as the spear hits her, she throws out a flame coated dagger towards the duke's carriage. It hits the coach making it burst with flames.

"SUPERBIA!" the man yells with fear written all over his face.

The man frantically tries to cover the woman's wound with one of his hand while the other fumbled through his pocket to find a healing ointment. The woman feels her heart slowing down as a lot of blood continues to spill through her injury.

The man seeing the blood spill over and through his hand, he trembles from fear and starts to panic taking out all the ointment in his pockets without really paying attention to them. The woman only takes a glance at him and then focuses her sight at the coach in flames. She sees the duke jump out and clearly see the duke take out a teleportation scroll.

With great hatred in her purple eyes she tries to gather strength to chase the duke, but alas, she feels the rapid approach of death. She bites her lips so hard it bleeds. She refuses to succumb to death. She was so close to get her full revenge. So f*cking close.

She then looks at the now crying and panicking man besides her. With a shift motion she rips the man's heart, in her hands a bloody ruby heart throbs.

The man for a moment only stares at his heart in her hands, and then joyfully smiles at her.

"You're a fool for loving me when you knew I can not love you back. But I'm thankful you do,"

He only happily laughs and gently moved the woman's weak hand containing his heart close to her own heart. She then absorbs the ruby heart, her wound with astounding speeds regenerates. Seeing the woman's wound heal without problem the man let's out a relief breath. Unfortunately, that's the case for the man. "I'm glad this fool's heart can save you." he then closes his eyes.
