The Three Moons

The Heaven Princess: Chapter 7: The Three Moons

I started to sense it, that time getting closer. My sword is starting to get heavy. All the burdens I have been carrying is starting to get heavier, the more I swing my sword, the more it gets heavier. I am starting to think more, I will carry the burdens and the sadness from all the people I killed. I swear to this sword that protect the people I treasure. 

「Himawari.....Everyone」I mumbled to myself as I chase the ice girl inside the forest. I've been chasing her for quite a while now and the distance we've run is big. She is stubborn and slippery, I can't cut her with my sword since she moves fast. The ice girl was running away from me without looking back, she is probably luring me to a trap. When we were getting near the end of the forest, I suddenly felt a really cold wind and on the ground snow had started to show up as if the end of the forest was a tundra. When we reached the end of the forest, it was a vast empty ice land. The ice girl stopped running in the middle of the ice field, 
「What are you?」The ice girl asked a question, 
「A God, a failure one to be exact」I answered her question, 
「Huh? A God? If you are actually a God, prepare to be killed by me!」She boldly charged towards me using her scythe that was made out of Ice. Usually, a bold attack like hers is usually easy to dodge but for some reason, I couldn't move fast like always and I got hit by her scythe. I was cut right on my chest, it wasn't deep but it's definitely going to be a problem for me later. 

I jumped backwards away from the ice girl. For some reason, it's starting to get really hard to breath. Usually, I don't get tired quickly but this time, it's different. My arms started to hurt when I try to move them. It seems like she did something with this ice field. She attacked me without stopping and all I could do was block her attack with my sword. I was starting to lose my consciousness. 
「I was alone, all this time, even when I joined Kou's group」She started talking about something, 
「What?」I asked her about what she was talking about, 
「Idiot! I am talking about my past! You're not going to listen too!」She puffed her cheeks and kept on attacking me, 
「Continue」I responded to her and raised up my guard more than before, 
「Eh? ah, okay」She seemed surprised and she stopped her movement but she immediately resumed to attack me, 
「No one listens to me, even Kou, Chiroru hates me. Crom was the only one that listens to me」 She really continued talking to me, 
「So is that's why you're really angry to Crom?」I asked her, 
「aah, I can't believe she chose someone like you!」She then kicked me on the stomach. Her kick was enough to give the last blow for to lose my consciousness. 
「You, did you listen to me?」She stopped her movement, 
「Aah, I heard it all....even the one you didn't speak of....」I finally lost my consciousness....

Before he fell down on the pile of snow, he suddenly disappeared, 
「You know, you somehow resemble Kou a bit」 He reappeared behind me, 
「It took a while for me to activate this one but I made it in time」He was holding a hilt without a blade but I could see some aura flowing out from the hilt covering the parts where the blade was suppose to be in. 
「I win」He swung his Katana towards me and everything turned black.

After I was able to let myself go from the ice made by that girl, I helped Crom who seemed more energetic than usual. Even though she got her stomach pierced by an ice spear, she didn't have any wounds nor a big hole in her stomach. 
「Crom hungry!!!」She started to cry like a baby again, 
「Here, bear with this bar thingy Haru gave me」I gave her what seemed to be called as granola bar? 
「It looks like you two are safe」Tiea called out to us, 
「You don't look fine」I approached Tiea who was currently leaning on a rock, 
「Don't worry, My body is just on a weak category」She smiled at me, 
「Idiot, you don't look fine at all. We should hurry and get you treated someh-」While I was trying to carry Tiea, I was interrupted by a loud explosion behind us. When I looked at the direction where the sound came from, all I could see was three moon like figure in the sky. Around the three moon was complete darkness as if the sky in that particular are had lost it's light. That scene didn't last long but it surely made us worried since that's where Haru went to.

The poem! it finally make sense (a little) I never imagine having 3 moons at the same time. I thought its more like the moon keeps changing throughout the course of the battle.
