______Verrion before The War's End_____

Deep inside the jungle where the trees grow high up in the sky and the thick leaf cover the sky and the jungle become pitch black especially at night but unfortunately, it's been a night for the last decades, darkness has fall upon the Verrion, not even moon or stars could visible at above.

The long night has driven people in desperation and madness, even the beast become crazy. Humans try their best to survive some even try to fight the darkness but everything futile, in the end, they can only turn their last hope to the last King of Lucient, they can only pray for his immediate returns.

But somewhere inside the jungle a giant white bird rest under the tree leisurely and there's a woman with tattered dark green hunter suits lean her back against the bird comfortably as if she was in leisure camp, in front of her a small campfire lit and it dimmed light illuminated around them, she can hear faint sound of beast horde not far from them, the beast is screaming, scratching and tearing everything insight.

As if they were become madness or intoxicating like something controlling them, Beast had become more vicious and violent than ever, of course, she knew what the cause of it, but she's not afraid she already put shields around her she knew nothing can pass through it.

"You sure, you gonna do this?" the white bird suddenly question her.

"Sure enough…"She replied calmly.

"Inside Quercus jungle, things would only get worse, the beast who reside there it's a lot stronger than around here" the bird reminds her.

"I know…"She sigh "But that's the only way to get there…..Djevelskrin"

"You know the druid Priestess won't let you in"

"You think they can stop me?"

"No, they can't, especially when I'm around….."

She giggles softly, she likes his arrogant attitude, Girsha has been with her for as long as she can remember whenever she felt lonely, sad, and lost he will always be there accompany her, guide her, He is more than a guardian, he is a friend, a companion, and a family, he is the only reason she can keep sane after all she's been through.

"Girsha, are you sure about this?" she looks the birds head above her "What I'm about to do…..it's not just gonna affect me, it will affect you too"

The bird becomes silent, he looks up to the sky but he can only see grey leaf above him "Do you remember what you promised me the first time we met?"

"I do…." she said softly

The bird said again "You will stay with me, you will never let me be alone again, wherever you go, I'll go, and I promised you the same and we become family, and family never left each other behind.....that's what you promised me"

She smiles bitterly at him, she knew he wouldn't let her go no matter what happened, it makes her feels happy and sad at the same time because the path she was took it's a path with no returns and she did not expect to returns after all this over, she already made a peace with that but for Girsha...…she still feels reluctant.

"Then you can come with me to Djevelskrin"

Next day who supposed to be morning but it's still dark like before as if the time has frozen, she got up and ate her last chocolate bar before they arrived on the cliff, the cold wind blow her face, her hair flying behind her back, she look ahead everything is cover with thick mist and when she looks below, she can only see lush tree cover with white fog.

"Are you ready?" Lory smiles teasingly at Girsha.

"Try to keep up with me, little girl" he teased her back.

She leaps from the edged of the cliff and dives fastly to the bottom, she conjures a spell and multiple translucent circles with rune appear from thin air, she jumps from one circle to another until she lands on the ground. She already knows the beast was watching her, the moment she land she raised her hand and a staff appear on her palm, she swings the staff and next second the staff transform to become a long sword.

Just like she though a pack of wild beast strikes her, she managed to dodge and cut one of the heads of beast leaving the sounds of 'thunk' on the ground. More beast tries to attack her from behind but Girsha punch them with his claws and rip them apart, Lory using the thick branch she jumps from one branch to another in a speed of lights and at the same time, she slashes every beast near her.

The beast screams in anger and pained, Lory got annoyed this kinda scream is a calling for help she knew more beast would come if she did not shout them up, she transforms her swods into a bow, she used win spell to make an arrow, she release triple arrow at the same time, her arrow pierce to the beast head, sadly it was too late some beast from afar her their calling and they running towards her.

"What are we gonna do, girl?"

Lory clicked her tongue "Charge….?"

"Sure!!" the birds transform into white orbs and emerge inside her and behind her, a pair of giant white wings grew on her back. She leaps from the ground and flies through the dense of three, but the beast still not let her go, some beast who has wing chasing her and because the tree is too thick she can fly too fast.

Lory transforms her weapon again into a gun, she shoots every beast who tries to strikes her. Some beast try to punch her from above, she hastily grab one of the branches and twist around it then she lands on the top of the branch, her move is so fast the beast can't follow her at that moment she used her gun to shoot the beast multiple time make the beast become minced meat.

"Lory, I see a river not far from us!!" Girsha shout at her.

"Good!!" she flew faster leaving the horde of the beast behind her, only for a while the beast managed to catch up with them but then she sees a river in front of her, not too big but it's enough. She landed on the river stone in the middle, her weapon transform to it's original as "Trinity' staff, she conjures a long spell than she stomping her staff to the stone and suddenly the river rises high above her head just like a big wave on the shapes of thousands giant thorn, it pushes away the nearby beast in single strikes even the three fall down because of the strong currents. After a few minutes, everything becomes silence no more sounds of beast only faint grunt from a few dying beast.

When everything over the river who was now empty gradually fills with water again, Lory panting while still gripping her staff, Girsha who still inside her could feel her mana drain more than used to be "Lory, are you okay?"

"Yes!" she reassured him.

"We should go now, more will come"

"Okay" Lory wing spread and with one jump she flew away.

Far ahead behind the mist, the old shrined made with grey stones with a big dome in the middle seen clearly. She eventually made it to Djevelskrin. This place is forbidden shrined protected by druids priestess, some people thought they guard an ancient spell, some said it was a sacred weapon, some said it was a mountain of treasure but no one knows what exactly they guarding it.

But lory new about their secret 'Djevelskrin' meaning as 'Devil Shrined' no one would believe the things they protected for thousands of years is a ancient Demon who is old as this world itself, the demon called 'Lazarus' the King of the serpent, the 'abomination' one.

The legend said the first King Lucient, trap the demon inside the dept of the earth and lock him forever wit the most stronger sealed in the world who can only be broken by a God himself.

She landed right in front of the gate of the shrined, above the wall she sees a dozens woman with a white cloak with bluebell flower insignia on it, none of them move they just watching her like a hawk.

Lory stays vigilant waiting they attacking her at the same time but she was stunned when the front gate suddenly open, Lory frowned, is this a trick or what?

The druid's priestess still not move, even though they give her hostile looks but none of them attack her. Lory retracts her staff and her wings, at least she needs to be fair with them. She takes a deep breath then she begins to walk, every step she takes has brought her closer to the gates, the priestess still watching her as if waiting for her to make mistakes, Lor's doesn't know why they did not stop her.

Her feet eventually reach inside the gate, then the gate automatically closed Lory watch the door gradually in slow motion closing in then she heard the sounds of two metal doors collide.

Lory exhales deeply, she was inside Djevelskrin then suddenly the room lit up by a hundred small lights, Lory squints her eyes from the sudden glow, it's almost like daylight. Suddenly the lights become dimmer make her easier to adjust, she blinks a few times only after she adjusts her sights she sees she was standing in oval rooms with intricate symbol carved on the wall and above her head there's a big dome with painting of black giant snake fighting with man with silver armor and sword in his hand, the painting looks majestic.

"What is this..." She murmurs to herself

"That's the first Lucient..."

Lory surprised and her reflex is drawn her swords to whoever talks right now, but the one she's aimed is a girl with silver long hair with paled skin as snow and grey eyes, she's so young maybe not older than fifteen.

"You, who are you?"

The girls smile sweetly at her "I'm Arthea, the Seeress…."
