V2ーExChapter 48
Ariana and Syena are currently still in Syena's room. Ariana plans to search for a way to escape and find a safe haven. The dimensional crack is rapidly opening left and right. For Ariana, is easy to penetrate and walk leisurely, but for Syena, is a death trap. Ariana could protect Syena, but she herself doubt she could last long. So inevitably, they have to search for a safe way out.
"Ana... you could just leave me alone here. I..."
Ariana cut Syena before she could finish her sentence and say. "How could I abandon you here?!. You know when how distraught I am when you were taken by the Fiolera!. I don't want to lose you anymore."
Ariana's face shows a melancholy expression. Syena is surprised by the degree of care Ariana shows to her. But she only thought of it as a care between friends. Ariana however thinks differently. Syena is her light. The one who rescues her from madness. Once Syena is gone. She would lose her reason and goes on a rampage. Just like that day. So, she holds Syena's hand dearly. She would never let go of her hand.
"Syena, don't ever let go of my hand." Said Ariana.
"Ana... I'll listen to you." Said Syena.
With a resolve to protect her dear love. Ariana prepares to bring Syena to a safe place. The hallway is no longer safe. The only safer way is out by the window. Ariana then breaks the window and burns the piece of debris into the ash so it will not hurt Syena. She then princess carries Syena before she jumps out the window. Her jump is supported by her fire, making her able to glide far enough from a horde of shadow monsters from below. Syena who is being carried by Ariana closes her eyes and put her face on Ariana's chest. She holds Ariana to her dear life afraid if she lets go, she will fall.
But their journey to safety will not be that smooth. There is a shadow monster resembling a bird attacking from the sky. Seeing the monster coming. Ariana grit her teeth and decide to take extreme action.
"Syena... just trust me and never open your eyes and don't panic alright!." Said Ariana.
Then, without hesitation throw Syena to the sky. Suddenly being thrown by Ariana, She of course began panicking. But She tries to calm herself down out of trust. Ana must have her reason... she thought.
The shadow bird dived down and began attacking Ariana. But swiftly, Ariana grabs the bird with her right hand and then pushes it down then makes a fiery explosion on the same hand with her power.
"Explosive hawk!!... that would be a cool attack name," Ariana said playfully.
With that attack, her body is slightly getting pushed upward making her slightly farther from the ground. Another shadow bird dive to attack, this time she steps on it and creates the same fiery explosion in her feet. The more bird monster comes, the more she repeats the same action. Her body keeps being pushed upward until she is high enough to catch Syena in the mid-air.
"How was it... Scare." Ask Ariana.
"Is surprisingly fun, to be honest." Said Syena with a bright smile on her face.
When the two of them land on the ground. She put down Syena and hold her hand. Both of them then run to safety. Away from the madness that happens on the outside.
