"The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

Levia

Swaying her body she pushed the man away from her as she limped towards the arm. She hated that she was having to resort to this yet it was the only way. "They'll be disappointed." While all of her attackers dealt with the aftermath of her previous attack Yanyan made her way to her source of energy. Step by step she got closer as she leaned down to grab it. Blood leaked out the part where she tore it off, soaking into the ground. "Gross." In the past any blood had looked delicious to her, now that wasn't the case. She hadn't found any blood she was eager to devour. She also only killed Astral Beasts for food when it was necessary for her.

Leaning down, Yanyan hesitated as she slowly opened her mouth.

"I have to."

The man who had stabbed her noticed her actions as he toko the knife covered in blood. Raising it above his waist he chucked it straight at her once again. "Not this time." He knew they would be in trouble if she was able to devour it. Yanyan knew that she couldn't dodge it so she just had to tank it and hope she survived. Shutting her eyes tight she gave up hesitating as she tried to power through it. "I won't make it." Yanyan felt a rush of emotions that was new to her. A fear that she never had and a sense of sadness. "I just.." She had not only let herself down she had also let Relia down who had helped her.

The blade dug into her skin knocking the arm she was holding out of her hands. Grunting Yanyan felt it slip and drop at her feet. Turning around she saw all 16 people facing her after healing up. One girl versus a small army was a terrifying sight for most. A lot of people would have crumbled under the pressure, especially someone so young. "No escaping this time." Her body wasn't big enough to just give up the majority of it like before with Xilo. She was also afraid that she would lose these memories she had as well if it could even work. That felt much worse than death.

"Finally, we've corned this damn demon. Chasing her for months has gotten tiring and there's more demons out there that need to be taken care of."

"Yeah, recently we've had reports of others that are roaming around nearby. So I guess we're lucky we're so close by. Hey Alan, did you want to finish this girl off since she took your arm off or one of us?"

"I'll do it."

Alan wanted revenge for his arm.

"Rot away, you parasite."

Standing in front of Yanyan who cowered in fear Alan smiled viciously as he brought his blade down on her.

*Crrrkkkkkk*

Lightning rained down from the sky and smashed Alan's blade into pieces. Running through his body it shut off his bodily functions as he fell to the ground dead. Before anyone else had more time to react 15 more bolts of lightning came out of the sky and took out every single Hunter there was. Too stunned to move, Yanyan watched each person in front of her die in a split second. "Lightning?" It was a rare element that she hadn't seen before except in her memories. This lightning seemed very familiar though. "It kinda looks like...." Looking up she saw a figure in the distance that had completely covered their body and face.

"Tearia...?"

There was no doubt about it, that lightning was very close to Tearia's. One lone walked as they saw a fight up ahead causing disgust to cross their face. Adjusting their mask they silently walked forward as lightning crackled in their palms. They didn't know what the fight was about, however they didn't care. One lone girl against 16 men wasn't something that would just watch. Without even caring to hear out their side she sent lightning down on top of them. Instantly they killed every single one of them except one who was badly injured. It seemed like he was a bit tougher than most of them but not enough to do anything else except barely hang on.

"Trash."

Kicking aside one of their corpses they didn't care as they walked towards the girl. They felt their steps falter for a second when they heard the name the girl said out loud. "....." Grunting they put it behind them as they walked up to the girl. Staring down at her the masked stranger noticed the weird wings and extra set of arms poking out of their body. "A Demon." It seemed like the people she had just killed were hunters, no wonder they were so weak. They were people that only focused on killing demons. Most people would have just finished off their job with some regret in stopping the Hunters but this stranger didn't care.

Taking off their mask they revealed a trail of silver hair and silky skin.

"Hello girl."

Extending their hand they noticed just how nervous they seemed to be. Even though it was a demon the stranger didn't care, it was all the same to them. Putting on a friendly smile they tried to appear as friendly as possible. Yanyan felt her stomach begin to turn as she looked up at their face. "It's not Tearia." From the hair alone she could tell it wasn't her, Tearia didn't have silver hair. So who was this person that had very familiar Lightning energy to the stuff in her memories. That wasn't a question that Yanyan could answer so instead she shyly extended her hand to grab onto theirs. This person had saved them so they deserved at least that.

"Hi."

"Don't be scared, I won't hurt you and you can call me Levia while you're at it."

That was a name Yanyan had never heard before but the stranger seemed like a nice girl at least.

"I'm Yanyan."

Enjoy.
