Afitera: Age of Darkness

He was treated like a pig by everyone else, he earned life with no joy at all. In all of his years of living in the world, he never received sympathy or the feeling of a human who was held deep in affection by anyone.

Murderer of Love

In a wide field of grass, Lumina arises and her eyes see the figure of a young man walking towards her at an easy pace.

"I first saw you as an innocent, kind man who captivated my heart," Lumina moves her hand towards the corner of her lip; she uses her thumb to brush the blood off her lip, "but now, I only saw you as a pest who betrayed my trust."

"You saved me from my sadness," Afitera raises his hand, "but that isn't enough for you to do all of these sinful acts."

A dark sword appears on the palm of his raised hand, therefore, Afitera closes his hand and disappears.

He appears in front of Lumina, and his hand is raised. Lumina remains staring at him as Afitera swings his dark sword downward.

A fireball appears in front of the dark blade, the fireball of Lumina and the dark blade of Afitera's sword are fighting against each other.

Afitera swings his sword away from the fireball, and he extends his other hand towards the fireball; grabbing it and squeezing it until it bursts.

Lumina points her hand at the smoke, and a thick wave of flames emerges from her palm and flies into the smoke.

Lumina moves her eyes aside and she witnesses Afitera going closer to her eyes. He swings his sword and strikes Lumina's arm; deep line forms on her arm and dark red fluid flows from it.

She points her other hand toward Afitera whilst he narrows his eyes as his brows furrow, and then he swings his dark sword; his sword cuts Lumina's raised hand.

Lumina's lip opens wide. "Why won't my ability works on him?" 

"Afitera," Lumina says, "why did you do this to me?"

"You've slaughtered Ija!" Afitera swings his dark sword and points it at Lumina, "your life will pay for it!"

Afitera's eyes are widening as blood flows from his lip and Lumina's eyes mimic a smile as she smirks.

"Oh?" Lumina chuckles, "do you think that you can kill me?"

Afitera was halted, hence, he moves his eyes downward and witnesses a dark red sharp blade emerging from his chest.

She begins to chuckle. "I've implanted a portion of my blood into your body while your back is turned towards me.

"My paralysis works and thank you, my first love, for being my lowlife experimental subject."

Afitera grits his teeth as he closes his hands his red eyes are glowing while staring at Lumina, and the dark lines on his eyes are radiating red light.

"Remember this moment!" Afitera narrows his eyes, "remember my wrath!"

The dark red sharp blade on his chest explodes. Afitea begins to walk toward Lumina as smoke is occurring from the opened wound on his chest.

Lumina is stepping back from him and then she releases a tremendous wave of flames from her mouth; the tremendous flames reach Afitera.

A hand emerges from the tremendous flames and it grabs her neck causing the tremendous flames to vanish.

He pulls her from the ground and throws her away from him. Lumina hits the ground and rolls on it, yet she immediately stands up and Afitera appears in front of her eyes.

He swings his sword multiple times and causes deep lines on Lumina's whole body, ergo, blood bursts from the deep lines on her whole body.

Afitera grabs her neck and opens his other hand and dark energy forms on the palm of his opened hand; the dark energy turns into an orb.

Afitera let go of Lumina and points his dark orb at her; the dark energy orb releases a thick wave of dark energy toward Lumina.

The dark energy carries Lumina from trees and to the mountains; the dark energy burns every tree and mountain that it touches.

Afitera is walking in the direction of Lumina, and the soil and some trees are burning with dark flames.

Red flames appear around Afitera, and he looks at them. Lumina appears in front of him with red flaming wings on her back, thence, Afitera moves her eyes to Lumina and he raises his dark sword.

Henceforth, Lumina's flaming fingers and Afitera's dark sword are pushing each other as the red flames around them are moving side to side as they weaken.

All of a sudden, the dark blade breaks apart. Afitera's eyes are broadening as the dark sword slips from his grasp. 

Lumina holds his neck and throws multiple flaming punches and kicks on his whole body, and her last punch brings Afitera down to the ground.

"Perfect Mitolo-ake: embers of a sun," Lumina's hair turns bright red as luminous red flames appear around her neck, "I'm sorry but this is where it all ends."

Angie appears in front of Lumina, and she points her shield toward Lumina; bright piercing light occurs from her shield toward Lumina's eyes.

Lumina steps backward as her eyes are closed. She opens her eyes only for a sword to hit her chin down to her chest.

"Die, Lumina!" Angie swings her sword towards Lumina, "remember this day–!"

Both of her arms bursts and her blood scatters on the grass, ergo, Angie falls to her knees as her sword and shield drop to the ground.

"I can manipulate blood, but it doesn't seem to work on Afitera," Lumina stands in front of her as multiple fireballs appear around Angie, "I believe that you are a hunter of our species aren't you? 

"You only took Afitera under your wings because he holds something important, right?"

Angie moves her eyes downward as the corners of her lip curve upward. "I won't spill anything on you."

Afitera's eyes begin to open and he witnesses Angie's back and her bleeding arms. 

"Afitera… he was like a brother to me," Angie turns her head aside and smiles softly, "when we first held him in our arms, he was the most beautiful creature that I saw."

Angie begins to form words using her lip without vocalizing them. "I love you."

Afitera's eyes widen as he stands up and the fireballs float around Angie, all of them fly towards Angie; the fireballs burn Angie and the flames disappear leaving her whole body that has been turned dark.

She falls to the ground but turns to powder before hitting the soil.

Lumina looks at Afitera but multiple large dark swords fall toward her, and the large dark swords pinned her on the ground.

Afitera halts in front of her, and his eyes are narrowing as his brows are furrowing at her. 

He grits his teeth as he raises his dark sword whose blade has been cut in half, and so he swings it toward Lumina.

She closes her eyes and opens them after a few minutes. She moves her eyes toward Afitera and watery fluids are flowing gently from his eyes down to his chin.

"Are you crying?" Lumina asked.

Afitera throws his dark sword downward, turns around, and begins to walk away.

"I am not a murderer," he said.

"But you've forgotten something and that is you're facing a murderer." Lumina swung her hand toward Afitera.

Afitera turns around and witnesses Lumina staring at him with her calm eyes as she's moving closer to him.

She's swinging her flaming hand towards him whilst the dark energy, dark chains, and the dark sword are disappearing from Afitera.

A hand holds her flaming hand and a female voice utters, "I won't allow you to kill him, Lumina. He is mine to keep."

In between Afitera and Lumina, a young woman is standing and her orange eyes are staring directly into Lumina's red eyes.

"Keliandra!" Lumina disappeared.

Lumina appears away from Keliandra and Afitera. Lumina flaps her large red flaming wings and she begins to ascend, therefore she stares at Afitera whose eyes are fixated on her.

Lumina turns around and flies at great speed.

Keliandra turns around and stares into Afitera's eyes.

"Do not worry," Keliandra says, "I am a hunter just like you. I am here to take you under my wings and make you stronger than Lumina."

Afitera's eyes begin to close as he falls to the ground but a hand catches his back.
