Day of Days II

Hunter rushes out of the building, rubbles rising as he does so but not falling because of how fast he was moving.

The sprite sees Circe frozen where she stood and raised his clenched fist to punch the yellow-eyed woman, she blinks and quickly moves to the side of the attack.

Hunter stops, takes a step back, then tries to kick the light red-haired woman. She crosses her forearm and blocks the attack but the force still sends her several feet backward.

The sprite charges forward and tries to hit a running knee but Circe uses her elbow to block.

Hunter lets his feet fall to the ground and then attempts a swift kick that Circe easily avoids. The sprite falls to his knees and tries to catch his breath while Circe walks towards him.

"I understand how you feel Hunter, I too lost someone I cared about on my journey to the Resurrection," she stops for a beat and cups his face with her hands. "I'm about to lose another person I care about ... But I can't let anything get in the way. Your friend might be gone but no one else has to die ... Not a single soul ... If you agree to die."

Hunter claps his hands together and raises them to his face before pushing Circe's hands away. The sprite then uses both his hands to strike the yellow-eyed woman on each side of the neck.

A low 'ah' escapes Circe's mouth accompanied with drops of blood. Circe places her right hand on her throat while she uses her left hand to blast Hunter away with an energy wave.

The dark mystic staggers as the pain from the sprite's attack persisted. Hunter spins and lands on his fist before charging forward with his hands surrounded with purple energy and hitting Circe with punches to the face and guts.

Circe's hand suddenly begins to glow a reddish orange-gold fiery color and the sprite swiftly withdraws.

The dark mystic tears off the limb from her body and throws it at Hunter, the limb explodes in his face and throws him to the ground.

Hunter wipes off the blood that had flowed from several cuts on his forehead and into his eyes. He looked at Circe to see that she had regrown a new hand.

Circe joins her hands together and forms a large ball of fire and shoots it at Hunter.

The teal green-eyed boy leaps from the ground and towards the fire, clasping his hand together, his teal green eyes turn into a ball of fire as he runs through the ball of fire before grabbing the dark mystic by the throat and going through the manor with her. Glasses and parts of the wall break but they do not fall, floating in the air as the two were still moving at an incredulous speed.

They were now in the library with Circe on the ground while the sprite stands tall a couple of feet away, Circe frowns before clenching her fist and charging at Hunter, the sprite does the same, and the two greeted each other with heavy punches.

Shards of glass spin and float in the air as they zip past them. Circe throws a punch with her left and Hunter blocks it with his left elbow, the sprite swiftly counters with a right hook. The yellow-eyed woman endures the pain before returning the gesture, hitting the dark-haired boy with a right.

The teal green-eyed boy shifts his body to the side and uses his left elbow to strike the light red-haired woman in the ribs, Circe then pushes him away to create some space.

Hunter spins and regains his footing but Circe charges at him before he could do anything else forcing the sprite to quickly dodge, avoiding the punch that lands on and smashes a bookshelf.

"Do you know where we are standing, Circe?"

The dark mystic turns, chasing after Hunter and throws a punch at him. He takes a step back, dodging the attack before stepping forward and hitting her with another punch to the ribs, his hands were now surrounded with green energy.

Circe throws a right followed by a left but the sprite spins, avoiding it. "This is the one place Zoe could stay alone without feeling scared ..."

Circe raises her hand to strike the sprite and even though they were both moving at a similar pace earlier, the yellow-eyed woman did not see him move, only seeing a red outline of his figure where he previously stood.

Circe looked behind her and it was like the sprite had just appeared there, he kicks her in the face before moving. Once again, the dark mystic did not see him move, only the red outline of his figure after he was gone.

She turns and the sprite is already in front of her, his knee flying toward her jaw, it connects but the sprite doesn't notice a punch Circe had thrown, it catches him in the chest and backs him into a bookshelf. Circe levels her hand to Hunter's face before throwing her fist at him, when the punch lands the sprite does not budge and the dark mystic is taken aback for a second.

Hunter places his forearm on Circe's chest and pushes her backward, he then raised his hand that was surrounded with red energy, and hits her in the face. "This is the one place Zoe was herself."

Circe tries to block the sprite but the latter is moving too fast for her to do so. Hunter hits Circe with another punch to the ribs, one to the midriff, one to the chest, and two more to the face. "This is the one place Zoe felt safe ..."

The sprite raised his hand to deliver the final blow but the yellow-eyed woman manages to avoid it, her face bloody and her body bruised as she barely pushes the sprite backward, creating some distance between them.

Hunter spins and grabs one of the shards that was floating in the air before turning and stabbing Circe with the piece of broken glass in the side of the neck.

Circe's eyes widen, she takes a few steps from Hunter, both her hands on the spot the glass was. She takes out the glass and gradually falls to the ground as blood flows freely from the wound on her neck.

All the objects that were floating in the air suddenly fall to the ground, breaking and shattering and so does Hunter, falling to his knees and remaining there sad and broken.

Hunter remained in that position for hours, unsure of what to do when he heard a familiar voice from in front of him.

"Aw, don't tell me you miss me already."

[Hm?]

The sprite looked up in both surprise and confusion to see Circe standing in front of him with a slight smile on her face and her hand surrounded with mauve-colored energy. Her clothes were tattered and stained with blood but there was no cut or wound anywhere Hunter could see.

The yellow-eyed woman wastes no time, swiftly punching and knocking the sprite out.
