The Search for Freedom

Lil

My eyes were so painful, as I could not looked directly at the scamp. There was nothing I could do to fight him, I could not because of the dazing light coming from his palms. I had been thinking if how I could defeat him, he was really determined to fight me, because he was still following me even I went away. Until I realized there was one more thing I could do to fight him, and that was to use teleportation. Therefore, I teleported towards his back and kicked him on his knee to dropped him down on the ground. I did not failed to dropped him down, but he just knelt down and his hands were still pointing at the same position.

"Whahaha!" He laughed, then asked, "Are you really thinking you could defeat me easily as that?"

"What the hell!" I exclaimed.

He turned his palms towards me, and I didn't expected it would be that so warm which seemed to burn me alive. He was really a sun man. But if he was really a sun man, why he wasn't looked like the sun? And the heat from his hand was more likely a fire. I bounced away when something, such as a strong force from his palm pushed me.

Right there, I knew why I called him as sun man, it was because he was so strong. Fortunately, there was no hard and dangerous things around, but green which meant a playground. As I looked back, I saw his eyes turned gold as he went near to me. I was filled with self-pity, which could thrust myself away from him.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Because of fear to get burnt by him, I realized something I should do and that was to teleport away from him. Unfortunate and fortunate, I was in between, because it was fortune which put me in danger, and it was also the fortune why I was still breathing. I realized that I could not be die even in the worst situation if it was not my time. I believed in destiny.

My clothes burnt, especially at my abdomen and even my abdomen itself hurt. I felt an inexplicable pain caused of burnt. I was getting accustomed to be always hurt by this mission. But then I remembered those words from Cain. He told me not to blame him because he didn't lacked to warn me about something, though he didn't really warned me about the exact thing. This might be what he meant, because I seemed to blame him that he didn't help me in killing the sun man. I didn't got burnt like this if he helped me killing that man, he was only enjoying his freedom. I could not believe there was a curse in him if he could do everything that he wanted to do in his dead life.

There was only few things Cain could not do; to stay in fight for a long time, to go back to where he came from, and to perform magic in a long period of time, as he could perform magic, but in just a limited time. I didn't know why he really wanted to go back to where he came from if his life here was as beautiful as what everyone wanted. I knew it was his decision and he told me that he could only find the real freedom in the place of spirits, because there he could take rest. What I could do was to plan if how I could defeat sun man. What an empty brain I had, there wasn't a way to destroy him. Perhaps I could deceive him, or observe him before making a plan to destroy his tricks. There was something eventually entered to my mind. If he wanted to fire on fire, then I would give him what he wanted.

I needed something-so that I could use his power to fight against himself-something which could throw his own dazing light back to him. But the problem was where I could get something like a mirror, what kind of question that it had an answer itself, of course in the houses around. What kind of hell that I needed to do this.

Now I know what to do, I should use teleportation to take the things I needed from those houses ahead, that would be a mistake because I wasn't just a killer, but also a robber. However, it was an important thing which other people did not know what was the real reason of the happening. As what they always do, they just witnessed a portion of happening, but not the whole story. I knew I couldn't avoid everything which was already destined, and even I would run, the universe would pull me still.

After my fight with the sun man, I would be coercing Cain again to teach me how to perform magic, such as making things appear, so that I wouldn't need to rob again and my clothes would never torn because of fire or as what the sun man did. When I was going to teleport towards the houses ahead, I was stuck for the reason that I didn't know. Consequently, I stopped thinking and try to go there again, but I was failed. When I looked around to know why I couldn't teleport, I saw Cain behind me, raising his hand and fought my power to teleport.

"Oh, it's you, but what are you doing here?" I queried.

"What do you think why I'm here?" He replied.

I sensed what he meant. "Uh... Uh... Uh..." I stuttered. I gently rob my head. I didn't know what to say. Finding an alibi, to bragged or anything else to avoid the talk about the sun man. "Whahaha!" He broke the silence and asked, "You looked like a coal, what happened to you, huh?"

What kind of man, he was making fun of me. "Ah... it's nothing, just caused by an accident. A while ago, there was a fire and I was nearly burnt," I lied.

Though I know there was nothing I could show which would tell about a fire, only my burnt clothes and bronzed skin because of the scamp sun man.

"Stop lying Lil, I know your burnt came from that man. I came here because I sensed that you failed to kill him and I wasn't wrong. Look at you, because you didn't listen to me before turning back, now that's what you get. So next time when I'll be saying something to you, you must take heed, because it's for your safety. Believe me, you'll die easily because of your inconsideration. What was on your mind was to attack and attack without knowing what kind of people you're attacking."

I inhale and exhale an air with force. "Okay mister verbose, that's enough cause you won and I learned my lesson from my inconsideration, what you shall do now is to give me clothes and attack the sun man again. Nothing else will happen if you're just saying something, but not doing anything which can change the situation you talked about."
