1 Hittans Regre (2/2)

”Hittan, I told you your folly would end here. Do you have anything to say before you draw your last breath?”

Hittan could only stare at the Overlord with a stubborn will in his eyes and hope his hand would be free soon enough! Unfortunately, fate had other plans for him and the Overlord began his merciless onslaught.

”I'm sorry it had to come to this… but you must die here...”

With a swing of his arm, the Sword of Alexandria came falling down from up on high and cleaved his chest open! Splash, a ting of Ruby red blood was now in the air and the scent of iron was apparent.

”AAaaarrrrrggggh!!!! Not like this… not when I'm so close to seeing her again…”

”...Still standing? ...Ruby blood? Old goat Hittan what are you? Well, it doesn't matter anymore, you leave me no choice!”

Another slash aiming to completely sever his torso!

CLINK!

The sword buried itself into his ribcage as he spat up more blood. Fate would not release his arm and by extension, he could not fall. However, the scent of blood became even richer and Hittan became increasingly pale.

”Ruby blood with Sapphire bones? You indeed were special Hittan. But why couldn't you accept your life and fate for what it was?”

Thrusting towards. .h.i.ttan's heart with the final blow; all seemed certain at that moment, death was imminent! But it was at that moment that his right arm became free. Free for him to fall in his last moments.

”An Emerald heart? With Ruby blood and Sapphire bones… you were unique, but you were d.a.m.ned to die today, Hittan.”

He laid there waiting as unwillingness could now be seen from his eyes. The flames of struggle burned in his soul. Revolt against death he thought as he grimaced. But like a moth to a flame, he was drawn to that warmth. Beckoning to him as he screamed in silence seemingly with his last breath!

Determined to be a Phoenix; rising from the ashes. He got to his feet with tears in his eyes, biting his lips as blood could be seen slowly dripping. His consciousness faded but he would not allow it to slip noiselessly.

”I, Hittan, am not done!” He professed as the torment was visibly seen splashed across his face. Sweat dripping, jaw clenched and madness now in his eyes! The embers of his memories smouldered, as the love he had for ”her” could be seen stoking his will to live.

A step, as he struggled for another and yet another! ”I will not go!” he declared with his arms outstretched to the heavens. His head was tilted back as the rays of suns.h.i.+ne kissed his forehead. A smile appeared then laughter followed. It echoed his will and determination to the heavens!

He would not go, determined to change his fate, for it to be anew. Rebirth his goal, death only an obstacle. Though he was beaten, battered and awaiting death. He was undaunted and unwilling to accept the end.

”So what if I dared to change MY fate?!”

Regardless of the suffering, he had made that choice and death was the consequence. But he did not regret this moment of his life when he finally saw what was truly valuable again.

His phoenix call; clear and loud! ”Let the heavens tremble as I shall be reborn!”

But fate had not completely forgotten him as the mixture of his Ruby blood, Sapphire bones and Emerald green heart blossomed into a White Dragon Phoenix!

The last bit of determination from Hittan had momentarily stunned the Overlord. As he watched Hittan's last moments unfold undisturbed and with respect and pain. But this could truly be seen as his first fatal error in the fight so far and one he could not correct.

”...White Diamond Dragon Phoenix!? No, it can't be! Hittan, what are you?!! A MONSTER???!!! NOOOOO!!!!!”

BANG!!!!

With a flash of white light, Hittan was gone!

”Where has he gone to? I can't sense his presence on this plane or in any of the worlds of Gilead! I will have to report this to the Highlord at once! Surely I will not be faulted in failing to kill a being of the White Diamond Phoenix cla.s.s?? If the Sword of Alexandria could not take his soul… who can?”

Releasing the white spectre light (Solar Flare) the face of an angelic female appeared.
