There were 35 guards staying with spears, swords and shields.
The moment the dust got down all of the rushed unified. Their spears and swrods were pointed at Loneil. All the knights were ready to rush to them and as soon as dust calmed down they rushed to each person.
However, the next moment bright light shined from Light. His whole body glowed in blinding light as it expanded and soon covered whole area.
Knights were blinded by the light and lost their sense of direction as they stopped and covered their eyes.
Beach near Light was also blinded but she instead of abondoning him held him closer to herself. She was afraid that he would die or will face intense pain himself. So, she stayed with him embracing him with hug while sand spears were pointed at knights who tried approaching them.
Icarus at that time wasn't blinded by the light because of his core changing his whole body and it's structure. However, he still felt pain in his eyes.
His mind raced and he thought of what to do to save only family he had. It was Loneil, who was still lost in his mind remembering his whole life. Single thought stuck in mind of Icarus as he started acting. It was to get Loneil out of here when everyone was blinded by light.
He grabbed Loneil and flapped his wings as he rose and flew away to the south side of town. His plan was to led Loneil to here and escape to the south and cross the mountains to be able to reach the town called Crintialit which was escape for many criminals and because it was located behind mountain range of Lamrinton and other than that it was surrounded by sea and there was also two other towns but, they didn't interract with themselves much except trading.
Eventhough, they could be discovered and hunted. They still would have chance with escaping to the sea. So, Icarus now was in rush to cross whole town by flying. But, unlucky for him one of the archers who was ready to shot. Shot him to his wings. Arrow pierced his wings as he let out a small scream and lost his balance, falling to the ground.
Boom!
As sound of crashing resounded. Icarus slowly got up as he looked up to the Loneil to see if he was hurt. After a second he confirmed that Loneil was almost fine. He now was also out of his pitiful state.
'What in the world is happening?' he though while Icarus, who was injured so bad that from his wounds his white bones could be seen.
As Loneil run with Icarus holding him and guiding him, Loneil continued to wonder in his thoughts. 'Am I a Calamity? Will I truly be last Calamity which is rumored to destroy the humanity?' he questioned. 'This... This can't be. It is just mistake. I can't be Calamity. I can't. There is no way' Loneil thought denying any thought of being Last Calamity. He couldn't accept it.
'Without question he is Calamity. But, It doesn't mean nothing can be changed' was what Icarus was thinking. Icarus, compared to the Loneil didn't deny it nor did he tried arguing with himself. He accepted everything as it is. Yet, he still had hope. Small light of hope was in his mind. That possibly there is way to stop Loneil from becoming Calamity or that he could try working with Loneil to stop any action of destruction from him.
As they run soon some guards left helping civilians and preventing Calamity from escaping chased them throwing spears and arrows. One of which struck right leg of Icarus. He stubled and fell into ground unable to get up. "Loneil do you remember the vow we did at river. Do you remember my promise to you. Run. Run so I can keep my promise."
Hearing this Loneil got nostalgic. But, it wasn't time for it.
He run.
Run.
Run.
Run untill he reached the gate.
Knights at the gate who were to regulate people were shocked.
Their expression stiffened as they pointed their weapons. They were scared.
The thing that Calamities created mass death when they awakened. Especially 12th The Calamity of Death caused humanity to go almosty extinct. So, their fear was understandable.
Even after that they still stood with weapons high ready to fight.
Seeing this Loneil thought about his sword. It somehow was still with him. 'I didn't though that I would do this. In the future. I thought I was ready. But, I still hesitate in killing someone. Why?' Loneil thought as he drew his blade and run at them with all of his might and speed.
Guards on the other hand stood on their stance their blades drawn forward. Right before they were about to crash. One of the took step forward attacking suddenly from right. However, Loneil blocked attack with holding sword with both hands above his head. Then with wild spin generating momentum he switched from defending to attacking. As his sword spun it hit neck of the guard. Slicing halfway through. Then Loneil got sword out of guards neck with taking sword out of the direction it came from.
Tud!
Guard who was hit landed on the ground. While he fell his body twitched a little before loosing any strength, life and consciousness. His body felt like it was blobby peice of flash. It fell and bounced a little before remaining still. Blood coming out of his neck splashing, leaking. When he fell his neck opened revealing flesh and blood pouring out as some air bubles popped out from where his throat was located.
Seeing this Loneil flinched his whole body feeling strong feeling of unease and something he could not describe. It felt as if mountain fell to his shoulders. His whole body became stiff as his muscles contracted.
Guard who saw whole scene lost his courage and least bit of battle intent he had. With terrified eyes guard took chaotic steps backwards. When he was 6 steps away guard turned away and run. He run so frantically that it seemad that he had trained his whole life running. While running guard kept looking back just to check if Calamity would chase him. Honestly, in his childhood he thought that he could have defeated any Calamity easily. However, realty was harsh and survival instincts of human being were adapted to this harshness. So, to avoid death his body instinctively switched from fight mode to flight mode. Even though, the guard who was killed was his dear friend. He abondoned him. To be truthfull it wasn't actually him. It was his wild instincts which now were activated. The thing is that we tend to throw away everything at the face of death. Just to survive.
Loneil was also not in the best situation. His mind raced. His body was filled with adrenaline and other chemical compaunds which made his heart race and his mind be sharp. 'I ... killed ... someone.' It was only thought that traveled inside his mind. It grew bigger and bigger. However, the next moment his eyes turned dull. His expression loosened. His whole body relaxed and he started walking.
Walking out of gate.
