Fate and Crimson Ch10
Arc 1 Chapter 10
As Alex was about to unleash his attack, he remembered what his father said when he was a 5 years old practicing his fire magic.
5yr Alex: this is soo hard I can never do it right!
Lynn: hahaha of course you can do it, I mean you keep getting better at it every day, soon you'll be able to make your fire dance properly.
5yr Alex: but you're fire dances better than mine(puffy cheeks)!
Lynn: haha oh yeah? Guess what I used to fail every time too but with practice I finally did it and one day you'll able to do it too or heck you might be better than me one day(happy smile).
5yr Alex: then I'll do it until I make the flames dance better than yours (cheeky smile).
Back to the present. As Alex remembered this, he's flames grew bigger and hotter, his flames started to go wilder on his left hand and started to move in a pattern as in they were dancing and soon later a fowl like shape came from Alex's hand and his fire punch was evolving into something else and finally it's shape was complete.
Albert: haha well I'll be! I can't believe the kid was able to pull that off!
With his new magic skill finally awake, Alex charged at Rox who was still unable to move and struck him with the magic skill.
Alex: [Phoenix dance fire punch LV1]
Rox: GAAAAAAAH!!!
The attack landed on Rox and he screamed in pain as he flew to the center of the district, he was completely out of the fight as he stood there coughing out a large portion blood and the ground beneath him was painted red with his blood.
Rox: I... Guess this is... It for me... (coughs out blood)... I can't go out like this... I still have to... Get a cure for her... I can't... I've... Ugh fuck... I can't just leave... I still have to make her remember!... I can't let her fear me forever... I... Shit.
Rox felt his consciousness slowly fading away and his head finally hit the ground.
Rox:... Mari how did it come to this... I was suppose to make you happy not fear me... Why fate?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Ronax Mill soon later know as Rox and ln this moment I was thirteen years old. I was standing at the kitchen table waiting for my mother to put food on the plates so that I can go serve father and Mari at the dining room, Mari was my little sister who I sworn to mother and father to protect no matter what. We were a happy family with our own little farm in the village located somewhere within the northern continent. Me and Mari were good team which many siblings were jealous of and sometimes I could hear some married couples wishing how they could have children like us, I'm not gonna lie that made me proud and happy.
But this peaceful little life didn't last for long when one night bandits suddenly attacked the village and killed every man in sight, kidnapped the women and raped the kids... Those fucking pigs! They're no different from the orcs and goblins! Like how could you even get hard on this blood bath?
Anyways my parents sacrificed themselves so that me and Mari can escape the village and as we were escaping I pushed and hid Mari in a bush as I saw a bandit coming our way, and the bandit finally reached me, though I have hid Mari in good hiding spot, she still could see me and what the bandit was about to do to me, I tried to resist but the bandit quickly overpowered me and just like that he stripped me naked and did what he did to me while Mari saw everything and couldn't do anything about it, after 10 minutes of hardcore fucking, the bandit was satisfied and tried to kill me on the spot but Mari stormed out of the bush and pushed him to the river nearby and we quickly made our escape.
As we were walking down the country road we came across law enforcers and they took us to an orphanage at the Trysad kingdom one of the biggest kingdoms in the northern continent. After ten years I was already an adventurer and I just made it to B rank and my sister still lived in the orphanage but since she was 2 years younger than me, it means that she was twenty one years old and she worked as one of the care takers of the orphanage and I used some of my adventuring money to help the her and the orphanage.
One day the king of Trysad reached out to me to offer me 1000 gold coins to participate in the war against Castilarux to take it, to me that kind of money was enough to make Mari leave in luxury for 20 more years, with those thoughts In mind I joined the ranks of the Trysad army and headed to war and my mission was to kill all the nobles and royals of Castilarux, after I finished my mission and killed all high ranks of Castilarux I was promoted to A rank by the Greenparks and got my thousand gold coins. I came back to the orphanage, but when I got there I was devastated cuz Mari had forgotten about me and not because I was gone for few months but because when she was cleaning the magic library in the orphanage, a grimore fell on her activating a spell that erased her memories of the person she cared about the most and fear them for some reason, and that was me.
I fell into depression for a few weeks, but finally got my self back together and started to look for a cure so that she can remember and stop running or screaming when she sees me. But that proved to be a hard task, as there were no alchemist who knew how to fix it or no scientific knowledge was capable of curing it and along the way I got scammed by corrupt nobles and fell into debt which even my gold coins couldn't get me out of.
After 10 years things changed when I met Drogo the elf mage who worked for an organization that called themselves the Red Hand and they kept sending Drogo to me for missions and they helped me with some of my depts and research for the cure to my sister's condition, until one day Drogo came to me and offered that I risk my life in exchange the Red Hand will pay off my debts and cure my sister's condition, and the mission this time was simple and dangerous, I have to kidnap Lucia Rhodes who just like her name suggests is the daughter of Albert Rhodes the "Super Punch" a retired S rank adventurer but he was probably still strong enough to beat me soo... I don't have have to explain any further cuz you know the rest... And now I just got defeated by that Adventurer and some two brats... Well to much for a mission to cure your beloved sister I guess....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex, Sion and Albert finally defeated Rox but not kill him, though he looks like he would die soon since he lost a lot of blood.
Sion: I think we should finish him off.
Albert: you're not afraid to take someone's life?
Sion: he hurt Lucia and Alex so I'm raring to kill him as we speak.
Albert: sometimes you scare me... but hey Alex how did you master the Phoenix dance?
Alex: I don't know... I just remembered what my dad used to say long ago and it just happened!
Albert: well you should know that what you did was the Phoenix dance and it was a move your father invented himself.
Alex: really!... That makes me a little bit happy i guess.
Albert: anyways we should finish this guy off.
Drogo: that won't be happening my good sir!
Before Albert could finish off Rox, Drogo appeared and snatched Rox away and stood at one of the buildings which were still standing.
Drogo: sorry but I'll be taking him and this accident about Lucia... Well it won't be happening again... Atleast not from us.
Lucia: I was wondering where this guy went, but it turns out you were here all along.
Albert: we can't let them get away [lightning strike]
Drogo: I'm afraid this is good bye [Gate]
Before Albert's lightning strike could him, Drogo used gate to teleport away with Rox in his back and he was completely gone.
Albert: fuck! They got away!
Alex: until next time Rox and by then I'll be strong enough to defeat you on my own!
Sion: I want my revenge too!
Albert: then both of you will be strong enough to defeat him... Fuck we're in deep shit with the mayor.
