It''s understandable that before embarking on a journey, one should anticipate enduring several hardships and challenges. However, if that journey coincided with the main characters in a novel, you must ept that it would be more of a fric living. Because protagonists are real people who bring difficulties with them wherever they go.
Protagonists are all mas of disaster.
''Well, and it''s also a fact that viins will be always after the protagonists.'' Mya cursed her luck as the cloaked people walked closer to the two children.
"I''m scared, Lorn." L held the backcloth of her brother firmly.
"Don''t worry, I''ll protect you, L. Just stay close to me. They will never do anything with you as long as I''m here."
"You just need to answer my question and we will leave as quietly as possible." The leader of cloaked people said.
But Mya and Lorn knew too well, that they would not leave them just like that.
''Especially now that they''ve lost all their sacrifices,'' Mya said, clenching her fist. She counted the cloaked individuals. They were only five in number.
"Ahhh!" Mya''s heart beat faster when another cloaked person pulled L.
"L!" Lorn, to Mya''s surprise, skillfully attacked the cloaked person with his rake.
''That movement.'' Mya observed as Lorn attacked one more cloaked person who tried to get near them. ''That''s how one handles a sword.''
The two cloaked people were struck down, unconscious and not even prepared for Lorn''s fighting ability.
All of a sudden, ck snakes came out from the hands of the leader of the cloaked person. It was heading fast at Lorn.
Lorn sensed this and he motioned his hands as vines suddenly emerged from it.
''He could use magic well.''
It struck most of the snakes but it was not enough as hundreds were stilling from them on different sides...Lorn winced when he felt a jolt of pain when he used his magic.
''Damn.''
"Lorn!"
He hugged L when all the snakes jumped in front of them. However, Mya made it in time.
With her Trinity, third form, the grappling rope, she fired it towards the branch of the tallest tree and scooped the children with her arms. The snakes only hit the ground.
Myanded on the other beside the tree. And put the two kids behind her.
"That was close kids."
"Mya!" L happily eximed.
"You!" Lorn was surprised. "Why are you here?"
"It seems, I got you involved in some mess." Mya winced when one snake was biting her left ankle.
"Ah!" L screamed when she saw the snake.
"It''s you!" The leader of the cloaked people eximed in delight when he saw Mya. And he was even more ecstatic when one snake was biting Mya''s left leg.
"Hah," Mya fell with one knee up. She immediately held the head of the snake firmly and threw it away. "Yeah, it''s me."
She could feel cold sweats dripping down her head and back. ''Crap. I''m getting dizzy.''
But Mya just stood up as she still smiled in front of the cloaked person. "I''ll go with you if you let the children go."
"What are you saying?" Lorn eximed in fright. "We can handle ourselves..."
"No, you''re not." Mya shut him up. Then she breathed deeply. "Remember that when I tell both of you to run, run."
"But you got bitten because of us."
"Your priority right now is to protect your sister," Mya stated. "And I''m grateful that you beat up two of them and didn''t tell them where I was; I truly owe you a lot now."
"But I don''t want to leave you!" L this time shouted as she was on the verge of tears.
"It''s alright, I''ll follow after I beat up these bad guys," Mya said with a smile but her pale face was not convincing at all. "Just listen to your brother, alright?"
"Do you think anyone of you could escape..." The leader of the cloaked people didn''t finish what he was going to say when Mya fired her grappling rope straight to his face.
"Run!" Mya screamed.
"Mya!" L screamed.
"Let''s go!" Lorn pulled his sister with him as they started running.
Mya threw her Trinity and it boomerang towards the other two who tried to go after the two kids. "You will be fighting me," she said with a grin.
With quick movements, Mya dashed to the first one who was struck by the boomerang and was stunned for a moment. She struck its stomach. Pulled his arm and did a German suplex.
"Argh!" The man who was caught off guard hit the hard ground.
Mya immediately let him go when he was not moving now. She caught her Trinity as she jumped towards the second cloaked person.
"You!" The second cloaked person holding his head, since that''s where the Trinity hit him, ran to Mya with rage.
''Lucky,'' Mya grinned. ''An enemy who was controlled by emotions were the easiest ones to fight. Well, as long as there is no magic included.
Mya evaded his right fist. And with a precise and quick motion, Mya elbowed his back, then she raised her right foot and kicked its back.
The second cloaked person fell on the ground writhing in pain. Before he could stand up once again, Myanded a strong punch on his facepletely knocking him out.
Mya straightened herself looking at thest cloaked person. He was holding his nose that was bleeding due to the attack earlier.
But in the very least, instead of feeling anger, the said individual was just looking at her with a sinister smile as he was ying with the snake with his other hand.
The cloaked person removed his hood, revealing a bald man with arge stitch wound across his left eye down straight to the left side of his mouth.
"Interesting." He said with myrrh in his eyes. "You were able to defeat them despite being bitten by my snake. But too bad, it seems that''s all for you now."
Mya felt a loud thump from her bitten ankle. She winced, but she smiled back at the stitch guy. Her smile, however, did not reach her eyes. She would still hold out till she was won over this guy.
"But don''t be too afraid, my snake''s poison isn''t meant to kill," the stitch bald man said sinisterly. "Their poison will simply and gradually enter your system, and once it reached your brain, you will be entirely mindless."
''Ah. I see that''s what not frightening at all.'' Mya clenched her fist as she heard the stitch''s guy''s words.. ''Are you freaking kidding me.''
