A Failure Approach

The night one day ago, before the morning that Jaino had awakened on Criselia's lap Flashback 04~

Somewhere near the center of southeastern region, the mountain Mount Ma Eling, of its downhill area; a shrine built by the Lightning Clan was casually used more than centuries had past for meditation. And now the shrine is frequently used as inside; with no clothes on her body, sitting floating in the air with feet each below her each opposite leg, her hands unite above her groin, and her eyes still close; Aminette, the mother of Kilie, continually meditates.

To the southeastward from the shrine, across the narrow plain, and to the northern part of the Deep Forest, inside the cave where the ongoing battle between Maritis and Eladin takes place.

This is difficult. It's my first time to hear such a thing. He has alive in two centuries? His experience cannot be underestimate then, has thought by Maritis. "Don't tell me those two won't be joining."

"Don't fear little one. You are dead serious with your task, so I play along. I start then." The eyes-closed old man dashes.

Maritis appears above behind the eyes-closed old man; unexpectedly, in the air while staring back at her, this old man slantingly lies floating moving backward to the same direction that Maritis has seen him when he has started to dash. Maritis thinks, what the hell!

The eyes-closed old man points his fingers to Maritis.

Maritis holds her breathe, disembodying her body into ghost-like collision; then she disappears. She appears as she lands in the ground. She takes breathe and she stares at the approaching opponent. She thinks, He can fly and change course in the air? ... Shit, imbuing myself with ghost collision sure risky; I need air. I- can't- move- my- body? ... Shit...

This old man lands and walks in the ground, while his palm and fingers are gripping the air to the direction where Maritis is. "As. I. said, know your opponent little one."

I'm going to die like this. No! No! Not like this!

A woman voice echoes on Maritis' mind, Maritis, my dear?

Ma- Mother?

Yes?

Whe- where are you?

I'm in the shrine. Anyway, you have no chance of winning against your opponent; so, leave. I'll imprison them myself.

The old man, his hand he holds to Maritis head, and he speaks, "You really shouldn't challenge me, little one." This old man's hand curls and goes inside to Maritis head; he can't touch anything.

Maritis raises his hand showing her thumb facing down.

Trying to breathe some air while getting insulted, this old man fills of curiosity.

Maritis disappears.

As the old man can feel and inhale the air, he gazes at his subordinates. "Chase! her!" Some walls tremble and the narrow pathway's ceiling of the cave grumbles. The shuttered parts of the ceiling block the long exit. The old man yells, "Curse you! How dare you disrupt my plan! The daughter of my bloodline is the answer! She is the strongest! I'm trying to awake her!"

Trying to breathe air, Maritis has reached outside the cave. She quickly notices the open empty wooden cells. She also sees her companions having conversation above the tree, in the branch. Finally the stink odor of blood of the dead reaches her nostril. She loudly speaks, "How's your work?"

One of her startled companions, a thin tall nerdy guy speaks, "Some leftovers have managed to escape. How about you?"

"I failed; but, this cave would be their prison. I have to rest, and we'll chase the others afterwards."

Success demonstrates the struggle.

Failure proposes the viable ways.

We all do lifehack patiently.
