Chapter V

In Lunox's dream, the whole village was in flames and destroyed. She didn't stop looking for her parents. Suddenly she felt some something burning on her skin.  The image became more clear. She heard a louder scream than in the nightmare. She saw this broken tribe and everything was the same as in the dream. The Dark Armies of the Lord of Abyss invaded this tribe again with an overwhelming number of soldiers. The army was crazy about killing citizens and destroying everyone's homes. Lunox saw a familiar old man was protecting his wife and running away from their burning house. At this time, a monster in a black robe was waving his ax in the air to attack this old man. Lunox ran over there and cast Starlight Pulse to attack the monster. The dark monster noticed her and tried to fight back. But fortunately, Lunox was experienced enough from her father's training to evade and attack back. Lunox shouted to that old couple and started accumulating power to cast Brilliance for shield protection and hurt the monster at the same time.

 

Brilliance succeeded in killing that dark monster, but more and more monsters were coming here for them. Lunox was surrounded by three dark warriors. When she was fighting them with the power of light, her parents attracted other soldiers' attention and led them out of the village. They worried that people in the village would get more damage. Even in this situation, Lunox's parents were still sorry about taking these monsters' lives. When they reached the Enchanted forest, more dark warriors appeared and some dark shadows attacked them in stealth. Lunox just finished enemies around her. She saw her parents were trapped and attacked by countless enemies. Her parents were fighting together bravely but they gradually fell into a bad situation because of fatigue and the number of enemies. When Lunox arrived, two sharp steel weapons pierced her parents' chests. Lunox saw this scene and realized everyone else in the village were killed as well. One of the monsters was grabbing some shining treasure. Lunox's whole life flashed in her mind. Her birth, those misunderstandings, and adventures to the forest, Lunox couldn't take this great grief. A never before seen power inside Lunox burst out and it destroyed every dark monster near them.

The invasion came to an end. Lunox ran to her parents but she didn't notice a silent assassin was trying to attack her from behind. Her father sensed the danger and pushed Lunox away with his last breath. Orfax took the attack for his dear daughter and died. Lunox screamed out in grief. A different power came out of Lunox. Suddenly, something opposite to the power of light burst out of Lunox–The power of chaos. Lunox unleashed the chaos power and ruined her surroundings without limits. She looked at her dying mother with tears in her eyes. Lunox held her mother and put her together with her dad. She embraced her parents tightly and cried with her heart broken. But Lunox's mother told her that the world was just like this, resentment, revenge, and grief would always be in the world. None of these but only a balanced love for every life in this land could lead world to peace. Lunox didn't understand what her mother was trying to tell her, and she swore revenge upon both light and darkness.
