Hahh!
Hahh!!!
I feel like my throat is on fire,
I have finally lost sight of them, they run really fast for a couple of bullies, or maybe it's me who is faster since they are supposed to be my school's sports team, haha.
I couldn't help but lie down on the cold floor of the harbor as I watched the sun shine through one of the slits.
I vaguely felt the sadness of losing Ewi, My pet elf owl, but it's better for him to live than to spend time with someone like me who killed his parents.
I am a curse, I am not a good person, it's my fault they died! I shouldn't have been born.
"Hahhhhhhh! Fuck!"
I covered my eyes as I started to cry out, who am I kidding, Ewi is my only family left.
I have relatives but they are all a bunch of bastards who don't want anything to do with a 'monster' like me.
"Right , Ewi-, that's right, you are gone,"
I sighed as I stood up again, ready to leave, is still have to think of a way to deal with those bullies tomorrow.
Just when I was about to move away, I felt someone grab my ankle and pull me with so much strength that I planted myself face-first into the cold ground.
"Ghh! What the fu-"
There stood before me a weird creature, a creature I have never seen before, I felt myself slowing down under the immense fear I felt from the weird creature.
It looked like a weird mix of a mantis and a cockroach, it kept muttering something under its breath like it was a madman.
Or a mad beast in this case,
*Slash*
I was brought out of my thoughts as the creature slashed its mantis-like blades at my legs.
Like a predator that wanted to incapacitate its prey before enjoying it.
I was broken out of my fear spell by the immense pain its attack brought me,
"Ahhhhh! Damn you! What do you want?!"
I tried to crawl away but it caught me, hurling me onto the dirty old wall, the force of the impact sent me through a shock.
'Is this how I die? To some weird ass clown monster that looks like it came out of a third-grade souls game!?!'
*Hooo Hooo*
I heard a familiar voice, instinctively opening my almost closing eyes, a blue elf owl stood on my body that was lying bloodied on the ground.
"Ewi! Run,"
*Hooooooo*
"Run! You stupid bird,"
The Ewi didn't react as it kept looking at me with its stupid head, I did not even have the strength to shoo it away.
'Dont blame me for your death,'
I sighed with regret as the monster dashed at us,
*Clang*
Though the imaginary death didn't befall on me as I heard a thudding sound, sound of a fast-moving object flashing as I opened my eyes to see myself covered in a weird blue energy.
I could instinctively feel it, this was,
"…Ewi"
*Hooooo*
"Haha! Thanks for saving me,"
The Mantis hybrid slashed again and this time the weird cover around me cracked a bit.
Although I gained a new power, it didn't make me feel a fanatical belief in my strength.
Rather it augmented my already cowardly personality, I could feel Ewi guide me.
I tapped my foot on the ground and found myself flying in the air.
The cover around me forming into a giant owl form as it flapped and led me away.
I could tell that my presence was almost unnotic
eable, like the flight of a real owl.
Though I was brought out of my thoughts by the roaring sound of the curse that ran after us.
Perhaps angered that its prey escaped under its nose,
"Damn it! Run run!"
The owl's speed increased, I could feel the control over this phantasmal owl form decrease as it grew to a faster speed.
So Ewi, my pet owl was actually some magical bird, life really is unpredictable.
I looked behind, the monster chasing us suddenly stopped, I could smell the hint of…fear on it as it ran away like a coward.
Though it didn't run far before we heard a dull voice.
{Stop}
Ewi who was helping me escaped suffering came to a halt as well,
{Crush}
The voice spoke as I saw the giant monster crush in on itself, as if a being commanding gravity was acting upon it.
It kept becoming smaller and smaller against its will before it finally…died and turned to ashes.
I felt a chill down my spine, my newfound instincts screaming at me that what I was facing might be a thousand times worse than the mantis monster.
"Hey brat!"
"Huh ! Who!"
I turned around mid-air, my eyes widening as I looked at him, one of the rising heroes besides the famous Tony Stark, Mr. Magician or as I liked to call him, Magus, in all his glory staning mid-air as he passed me a smile.
