33 The Shrine Madien 2 (1/2)

Her body bloated before it exploded, into a thousand broken piece that looked like shards of glass. A violent wind broke through the stale air and swept the piece up and back together. Slowly they began to reform.

”Did I fail?” I muttered as I fall to the ground.

But as the woman began to reappear, her eyes were the color of hazel and not red, her features were very human, I couldn't feel the trace of the previous murderous intent and bloodlust that she had; had before.

She was dressed in all white, and her once tangled black hair was now silky and smooth.

”You've freed my soul,” her voice was quiet and ethereal like a fairy.

Her body drifted down towards mine, her smile was soft and airy as she reached a hand out to touch my face. It felt like a warm, as if I was sitting next to a small fire, it was quite comfortable.

”I can pass on now to you, I'd like to offer you a part of my soul, I was a powerful healer when I was alive. I'd been betrayed by one of my trusted aids and become a vengeful soul as a result, but you've purified my soul,” she told me with a sorrowful expression on her face.

”In exchange, if I may be sold bold, I'd like for you to do me a favor,” she continued.

”What favor?” I ask as I stand up from my seated position on the ground. The holy light was starting to leave my body, and I felt the stress and fatigue starting to return to my body.

She placed her hand once again back on my face.

”Light of the Archangel,” she spoke, the fatigue vanished and I felt the wound on my shoulder healing even more. Tilting my head to look at my arm, I see that even the scar and black tissued skin had vanished. It was silky smooth again.

Turning my head back to look at her, she gives me a small smile.

”I wish for you to kill my aid for me, he still lives. He currently being harbored by the Holy Knight's of the Goddess, he took my body and offered it up to their Demi-God,” her voice broke as she talked about it.

Her serene features turned dark, this was the reason why she probably hadn't been able to pass on. I didn't blame her, he was obviously someone she had trusted yet he'd murdered and offered her body as a sacrifice.

”What is his name?” I ask.

”Stranior Unlifair,” her body was starting to vanish, ”thank you. I'd like to offer you more than just this part of my soul, but that is all I have left.” A glowing orb of light broke away from her disintegrating body and flew towards me. Opening a hand I let it fall into my hand.

I wanted to open my mouth to say something, but it was too late the last bit of sparkling light was vanishing. Her body gone and now her soul was also gone.
