After what asuna told me, we went straight to the village to make an announcement.
After getting everyone's attention, about 100 people, on the roof of a house asuna began to make the announcement.
The village was small, on a small mountain with only forest next to it, This village was the only thing i have from now on, and the tought he was surely getting destroyed today was not the best one yet.
''Listen to me , we've got a big problem, so we're going to make a proposal".
''right now a wave of monsters is coming straight for our village''
Nobody really reacted because it wasn't the first time.
A few people wondered why it was such a big deal this time.
''Louis, Nadia, Alice and iris are gone in a rank B dungeon .''
''and the wave that's coming is actually..."
".."
"an S-rank wave''.
People fell over in shock, nobody spoke up, nobody moved, they just kept listening.
Only awakened people could know what the rank of the wave would be because of the mana who start to get closer to use
''Those who want to stay here and fight, stay here and prepare their weapons, but for those who prefer to live then leave we won't hold you back because we know it's impossible to keep you all safe''.
"For the children and the mother all of u will have to leave and escape this place before the wave start, after escaping the wave try to find Luois and his group they should be in the north"
Asuna was really good to command people, maybe because of her beauty, but a lot of people admired her and wanted to follow her.
''Those who want to stay go forward!''
But nobody, not a step was taken for a good minute, nobody moved.
I sighed
Of cours even if Asuna was kind, great and beautifull, right now we are talking abouta S-rank wave wich mean "destruction, death, war", so it's normal people don't want to go with us.
''You know asuna, there's nothing forcing you to stay here with me to fight the wave, I mean if you waited for Louis and he came out A rank then you'd have a chance to get out of it, And you know, Louis had a huge crush on you, so he'll surely look out for you''
But after saying that, Asuna looked at me with a dark look, and for a moment I shivered.
''Cid, you need to know that I'd rather die than stay alive with Louis''
''For me Louis is like the curse that struck the earth, he's there all glorious and powerful, but he draws evil towards us on those he doesn't even know, if I stay with him I'll die of any otber means''
''and then I'd rather die fighting beside you than with Louis, I can't abandon this village for me it's my only reason to live and fight''.
I knew exactly what she meant, because it was exactly the same for me.
''Really? well, it's perfect, you were the first person I wanted to die with''.
Asuna looked at me with an amused expression, as if she was taking it as a joke, whereas it was my sincere feelings.
After everyone had left the village, we wathed them getting deeper into the forest until we cannot see them anymore. We could already see the wave of monsters arriving, and in the last row stood a dragon at least the size of a building.
You could see its aura from here, for the record the difference between an A-rank and an S-rank was like F-rank compared to B-rank it was totally impossible for an A-rank to beat an S-rank , let alone a B-rank, that's why we'd already accepted death.
After prying for not a bad death, Asuna and me got prepared for the battle who will bring our death.
And then suddenly an overwhelming aura fell over us as we looked up to see a dark dragon with wings that covered the sky like night.
The battle has started
''ASUNA!! make me a wind platform so I can reach it!!''
After that, asuna started to lift me into the air, sending me straight at the dragon.
My dagger aiming to it eye
But the dragon reacted , of cours he react, i must be slow for him, and sent me crashing into a house.
I was covered in my blood, my vision who start to get blurry
'DAMMIT! just one blow and I'm already K.O. it's way too strong for a final boss?!'
''CID ARE YOU OKAY?!''
''Why are you asking when we are going to die ?''
She looked at me, completely stunned by what I'd just said
''THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKES!! ''
Asuna try to lunch her biggest attack who was a giant fireball
~HYPER FIRE BALL~
The fire ball hit the dragon and then nothing, not even a scratch.
"Well that was expected"
Asuna fell to the ground completly drained from her attack. But I saw it, the dragon was ready to spit something out. We looked at each other and waited, yepp waited we were convinced it was the end
''I just hope it's not vomit? ''
''Even in situations like this you always make jokes''
Asuna was normally cold, not completly cold because u could see that she truly care about this village, us. it's just that she never truly smiled or not the talkative person to, but right now i see her a smile i have never seen, a smile of soemone who a truly give up and yet still not regret.
''You'd rather die of joy than regret, wouldn't you say? ''
'' Yes, you're absolutely right''
But just before we got carbonised, the world went gray
I looked at the dragon who had stopped moving and Asuna was there too, looking at me, we didn't understand what had happened.
The wave of monster who was destroying the village who stopped like time it self
''What..what's happening '' i said with a shock expression on my face.
''I don't know, it seem like time has stopped? ''
''Hello~''
Cid and asuna quickly turned they'r heads and what cid saw was like a second experience for him
A woman of unparalleled beauty, divine, engelic, with that's blond hair and eyes as golden as the sun. She looked like a divinity
