Chapter 3 : Please help me to shine .

"Who are you ?!!"said Eileen Archban to me in suspicious way.

"Are you kidding with me, you damn idiot !!!" I was furious after here sudden question, since she left alone in a house wich I don't even know.

"Wait, are you the man that Eileen saved two days ago ?"

Why she's talking like that ? is she insane, or have a sickness ?

"Please, can you call Eileen, she told me to bring some medicine for you, I guess we don't need it anymore since you are fine now..." Yes I can confirmed it now, this girl isn't Eileen Archban, that's for sure, maybe she's her sister or twin, I don't know.

"Sorry but Eileen isn't here, she left three or four hours ago, I think she left for searching the help, since there is fire in the kitchen, you kn..."

"Wait, fire, do you mean that Eileen was here when the fire outbreak happens ?"Interrupting me, the mysterious girl with her face showing extrem worries.

"Ohhh, that girl, she still have the fear, even at this age." the girl murmured in a low tone, I couldn't hear what she's saying.

"We need to found her right away, or else she's in danger" said the girl that reassemble Eileen, well she has the same face, also the shape but her eyes are blue, her long hair is dark brown, surprisingly her way of talking is cold, that's making her somehow more mature and firm than Eileen.

I asked the girl : "Eh, *Ahem*, Who are you ? and how do you know about me ? and why do you resemble Eileen so much ?"

The girl didn't react to my questions, rather it's more like she didn't hear me at all, she seems in deep thoughts. I asked her again.

"Oi, lady, do you hear me ?"

"Um~Eh" the girl face become red since I was quiet close to her.

"Sorry, I didn't hear what did you say."

"Who are you?!" I asked with a forced smile.

"My name Anaïs Archban, I think Eileen did mention me to you ?"

Oiiiiii, that idiot have a twin, O mighty lord have mercy on me, one maniac is enough for me so please don't make Anaïs the second one.

"Eileen didn't tell me that she have a twin, I'm surprised, really" Well I did see an image of two little girls that were playing at the beach, both of them looke like Eileen, so I assume that this girl is here twin.

"We don't have time for this, Eileen is our priority, we must found here quickly." With a cold voice said Anaïs.

She's right, Eileen is clumsy and idiot so we must found here quickly for the sake of public order, and the others safety.

Anaïs told me that Eileen has Pyrophobia, the fear of fire, It seems like Eileen had a traumatic event in here childhood that included the fire.

Starting the search, we split, Anaïs told me to search in the old ruins next to the house, meanwhile she's searching at the town, for the sake of mission Anaïs gives painkillers to suppress the pain that I suffer for walking, I returned to the room that I was in and took the crutch next to the desk, now let's search for the traumatic tomboy.

4 hours later, it's 17:57 on my watch that I got from Anaïs.

"Say, did you find her yet ?"

"Nope, if I see her I will inform you, so don't call me every 5 minutes literally?!!"said by me in angry voice.

*sob*

Wait, she's crying?

"S-Sorry, I'm really worried about her, she's my only family, I don't want her to suffer"*sob*

Maybe I was a bit harsh on her.

trying to comfort Anaïs, I was searching near the ruins of what it seems to be a tower, I noticed ash on the ground, with the smell of smoke, exploring the area near the tower, blue light illuminate the back of tower, I can hear the cries of a girl, trying to reach the source of the sound, I saw Eileen, setting down on the wall, holding in her hand a little box, her eyes are red, she trembles, she's afraid, all this fear come from the fire ?

I intended to talk to her.

"Eileen,Eileen !!!"

"Back off, go away, please, please...",with tears, even though I see her as idiot, but still she's my savior and I must help her.

"Aw, Ugh" feeling the heat of the flame and the blue fire surrounding Eileen, makes me realize that the fire is getting stronger when I get close to her, it seems that at the sides of fire cercle is red yet not that hot compared to centre where the fire is invisible and the heat affect the wall wich Eileen close to. Now the problem is to get Eileen away from the wall before it falls, I decided to cast water around myself in order to approach, I can say now my pride that my abilities in using the water has advanced and progressed now, maybe because my body is stronger and healthier than before.

*sssch*

the water that took the shape of the armor protects my body is vanishing facing the savage fire, I didn't expect Eileen to have such tremendous fire abilities hidden within her, with this pattern, I can't reach the crying princesse, backing off was the only logical option in this situation, I tried to catch my breath, I realized that I'm not enough to help Eileen, I picked my watch, calling Anaïs, asking her for help.

"Did you find her?"in a serious tone.

"yeah, I found her, she's on the back of the tower at the ruins close to house."

"Good, thank God that we found her before the night" Said Anaïs with a relieved voice.

"Um, Anaïs, I can't approach Eileen, there is a fire cercle covering her, I tired to penetrate her fire zone but I couldn't, she's way more powerful than me, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I knew that would happen, Eileen has that kind of things that happens to her when her trauma is triggered by fire, she can't control her fire, plus the more her fear increases, her fire abilities get bosted to the maximum extent, the only chance to us to save her is to wear her Mana Limiter."

Mana Limiter, Umm, wait I remember Eileen was wearing a platinum bracelet when I woke up at morning, does that mean her Mana Limiter is that bracelet, she's doesn't have it now, does she , I should search for it while waiting for Anaïs.

half an hour later, I was still searching for the bracelet and calming down the pitiful girl, that's a pain in the ass, but I'm obligated to help her, soon after Anaïs arrive, she's sweating, her hair is in mess, red, her face is really red, I guess she's been searching around the town all this time.

"So where is she ???" Asked in hurry.

"She's there, on your left."

"Eileen, Eileen, can you hear me, it's me Anaïs, do you recognize me ?"

"Aaahhh" She screams, she's afraid, this is really hard to watch.

"Hey you right there, hear me, we will rescue Eileen now, did you find the Mana Limiter, we must hurry before she surrender for her fear !!!"

"Right, right, I heard what you say, I couldn't find the bracelet, isn't there another way to seal her power for now ?"

"We don't have time for casting a seal nor the resources for that, the bracelet was our safest method, we can force her to sleep, but that..." I couldn't hear the last part of what she says since the fire did burn a part of tower wich demolished before our eyes, man now we have to deal with the tower's burning parts.

I proposed to Anaïs a plan for the sake of Eileen.

"Anaïs, you still have some of the painkillers in you bag ?"

"Yes, I still have some, but why ?"

" I can use water and cast it, if I approach enough, maybe I can reduce her fire power for now so you can do something about it ?"

"Her fire is on different level from your water abilities, also your body isn't fully healed so you just put yourself in danger, but maybe your plan can work if I cover from her fire."

"Say, can you cast fire, or what ?" I asked in doubt, she's weird, but if she can use fire that's good, then she can stand for the wild fire, protecting me, providing a way to me, that's a potential plan for saving Eileen.

"I can cast fire and also water,I can provide you a support for you, while blocking her fire, but I'm not powerful enough to contains Eileen fire power."

"That's good enough for me, let's get prepared now, the night had approached."

giving me painkillers and some mana drugs, this girl is she a drug dealer ? Anyway, she face Eileen's fire with no fear, her eyes are sharp yet focused on her friend, worth admiration, giving the mark, she cast an enormous fire fox, it split into four little fox that surround the circle of fire.

*Roar* the foxes roar, it's cute, I can't help myself.

*Rrrrggrr*

Sudden chills back the spine.

"No no no no, please don't"*sob* *sob*

"Eileen, don't let him take control, remember it's your body, your life, your will that you own, not him." Screams Anaïs.

"Don't lose focus, we still have to save Eileen" I said to her.

"I know, we must hurry, before he take over her body."

The foxes backs off then it's united, they turn into one big brown fox with four talls, it's angry,screaming loudly to extent that I thinks I shit on my pants, keeping his white eyes on Eileen, menacingly waiting, then two wings come out of the ground where the fire established, it's black, tall as the giant fox, yellow fangs, scar cover his whole body, the wings are covered with chains, my body stoped from moving, our gazes meet, then he laugh, Anaïs become more serious than before, commanding her fox to stand against the monster that smirking, the fox turn red, like the sun that start to set.

"Don't stop, you must not loss your focus and don't look at his eyes, his one of the Supreme monsters, he can control your mind, so don't lose your concentration !!!"

yeah, I know that, thank God that I have the dipper, or else my pants will be...Anyway, the chains that kept the monster blocked start to shine, I understand from Anaïs that this chains are weak when Eileen is in fear, it lose her power, so by time this chains will broke the monster wich is sealed, Eileen will become his vessel to this world.

I kept running while I summon water to keep myself wet, Anaïs and her fox are standing against the fire that come from the monster now, I reached Eileen now, her clothes are torn apart her stomach has some weird words, that start to fade, this seal wich presume look similar to face of the monster that we fight.

"Don't kill her, please, she didn't do it, please, Mama, mama, mama..." she lost her conscious under the pain, this is really heart breaking, it's hard to believe that a God damn burned toast caused all this problem, really it's sad.

I tool a temporary Mana Limiter that Anaïs gives me, I put on her hand, her seal on her stomach start to get his marks back, I cast the water again and Anaïs's water to help Eileen to overcome her suffering.

Out-of nowhere the monster breaks from the chains, and roar, the giant tried to attack but one shot is all what the monster needed to defeat the cute fox, Anaïs back there is also damaged from the monster attack, she's unconscious, the monster laughed in demonic way then shiver his gazes to me, and says :

" In thousands of years, several millenniums, no one could've stand against me alone, let it be dragons, false gods, demons, humans, giants, titans, no one could overwhelms me, I'm the record of the carnage wich this world feared of, I'm back." I couldn't stand against his presence, his aura is dense, breathing was hard, let alone using water element, then I lost my balance and fall on ground next to Eileen.

"First of all, your very existence is absurd, your sole mission in this life is to take down the underworld, slay everything and anything that seems different from us the humans..."

"I'm sorry...I lied... you're just a child..."
