Chapter Eighteen ~~~ Never meant to be

About a month and a half passed since the crew got together. Yuma raised a rebellion with about five thousand members amd they started to take castles. They took five castles and they placed a member to be a lord in each one of them. Not heavily guarded the castles were fairly easy to take.

- This last one was a bit tougher than the others...

Yuma said jokingly.

- Yeah they had like ten more guards.

Edward replied laughing his ass off. Kira went with them on every incursionand she trained along side with them. She had gotten used to controlling her mana and she was much stronger and a big asset to the team. The rebellion gained a name that everyone calls them. Crimson army was said to be fearless as it was and the rebellion was going exactly as planned, but when they returned to the tavern where they lived one man was waiting for them. A single soldier who claimed that he is just there to deliver a message.

- Talk, and leave immediately.

Yuma said to him with anger. The pure fear that the soldier had in his eyes was imense.

- The emperor warns you to leave the continent or the young heir's mother dies.

Everyone was stunned to hear such a thing. Despite that being the worst thing that could happen no one was scared for Yuma's mother, all of them were scared of Yuma directly. Kira was about to talk to Yuma and he just left the tavern. Everyone advised her not to go after him because they know him his whole life.

- The guy that left right now is not the same Yuma you know. That is a pure demon, incapable of mercy.

Edward said scared for his life. Kira just shrugged it off like it was just talk. When she went to talk to him she couldn't find him, but she heard a loud noise from the nearby forest, she went to look there. When she finally found him he was punching a large rock with his bare hands. Healing them and then breaking them, again and again. The reage Kira felt from him was so imense thatshe nearly fainted. She tried to talk to him, but it apeared that he didn't hear her. She came close to him and she slapped him in the face with all her strength. He came to his senses and he told her to back off. She just came to him and she hugged him tightly.

- It's okay to be sad and it's okay to cry. Just let it out, your secret is safe with me...When Kira said it like that Yuma bursted in tears. Yelling that he can't lose her too, he lost his father to this cruel and indifferent world, he can't lose her. They just stayed there for a little more time. When they were about to leave Yuma grabbed Kira by the hand and he told her that he loved her like he never loved anyone else, and that she is the only one keeping him sane. She just looked at him.

- I really am sorry Yuma, but i am unable to feel that emotion. The traumas I endured in my life left me unable to feel love. You are my first true friend and i am really sorry that i am unable to give you what you gave me.

Yuma just smiled at her through his tears like it's okay, but deep down he felt like the worst kind of man that exists, not being able to get the woman he loves through her trauma was devastating for him.

- So am still not your type? I'm joking, it's your choice Kira, I will always be by your side so live freely...

After that they went to tavern to prepare for the rescue of Alice. The journey began. It would take about ten days to arrive at the palace. Yuma just told them to get ready and that they are going to travel tomorrow. When everyone was asleep Yuma sprouted his wings and flew away alone. Kira noticed that Yuma is gone and she went after him. She was way slower than him due to her going on foot. The demon that is her familiar spoke to her from within.

- If you wish to catch up to him we need to do the demon union.

- How would we do that?

Kira asked the demon with confusion

- You just have to focus on your mana core and speak my name. It's Meydad... That is my true name.

Kira deeply focused even though she had trouble woth concentration, Shouting MEYDAD She became merged with a horn demon. Her brownish skin turned black amd pale. Her hair got longer. A black armour apeared, and a pair of pitch black wings sprouted. She had a very hard time catching up to the young hero due to him being very fast. She bearly succeeded in the task. When she approached him, Yuma was furious with her. Yelling amd shouting at her to go back, telling her that this is his fight. She was just levitating Infront of him.

- Okay then, i see that there is no wasy to send you back. Try and keep up...

Yuma said amd he flew towards the capital. She followed him with the same speed. He tried to shake her off but it was in vain. They arrived at the capital in the morning, and waiting for them was royal guards. Kira used her dark whip spell to tie the guards so that no one would get hurt. Yuma on the other hand went on a rampage. He broke and tore the limbs of the soldiers in his way to the palace. With one punch he shattered faces of his enemies, Kira never saw that side of him, to her it was like he was a whole different person. The kind and a gentle soul who would help anyone has swapped with a straight up psychotic devil. It was like the Yuma she knew is gone. His rage blinded him to the absolute horror that he created. The civilians were watching like it was the end of the world. When they got to the town square on a high wooden tower for executions his mother was standing chained on top with the young Emperor Carr and his royal advisor Demien The Corrupt One. Yuma just looked at them with soo much rage that it almost bursted his veins open. What will the young hero do in this situation?
