Chapter 9- L' espoir

Elise is afraid of darkness. In her previous life, Elise never sleep without light or any small lamp beside her because she was always prone to nightmares. Elise eyes naturally adjusted to the dark. The other children are still crying but the harsher reality is finally making its way slapped them. They were trapped in the dungeon like prison.

Several days passed and the orphan are still staying at the prison cell. Elise in her not best overcome her fright and now well-adjusted to the dark. Her day just passed sleeping eating and sleeping again. Her mind is giving up and the unknown fear little by little consuming Elise tenacity.

What the hell will going to happen to her now. She is trapped without any sense of light. The other children are miserable, sometimes they were forgotten and the day will just past without opening the door. The hunger become natural.

Several months have passed and Elise forgot to check in the days that feels like forever. There are only four orphans in the dungeon prison and many of them give up and just died. A horrible death to a child who was abandoned.

Elise is still trying to stay sane. She is a twenty-eight-year-old or let's say twenty-nine because her birthday probably already passed. She can survive as long as there's a food and the door will open from time to time. But the horrible fact that children's dying were terrifying.

The body was forgotten. The first time Elise experience the smell of the decayed body she can't help but to vomit. She feels awful that she pukes every time. she can't eat and her body would collapse. Then She will wake up after a day and the same routine would have happened.

Elise wanted to die. Her thoughts are vivid and she is drunk by the darkness and death. Elise is desperate for the end. She was reminded by the life she had on her previous life. Her family who she hated before but now she misses day by day. Why does she hate her family at the first place? Being useless is something she is familiar about. Being the neet? Can't take care of herself or not being responsible, or independent in her age. Elise keep thinking of the days she got hurt by the words. She wishes that she endured it more. She wishes that she never cursed her family and think of being alone.

Is it really neglect? The moment you pity yourself and reject the reality, you will never find peace. But what the heck is peace or happiness or love? Even her last life she didn't fall in love. She just endured the pain and get by the flow of life. Then this shit happened. She didn't do anything that she deserved this pain. Why God?

Elise blink the tears back. There's no light in her eyes, just resentment. She is done by enduring the pain. She is done saying she is okay even though she is never okay. She wants to scream. Scream to the top of her lungs that She is in pain. She wanted to end it but

why.....

She can't end her life.

Life is precious and the only thing she owned even in her previous life. Elise is enduring everything because she thinks that her life is precious just to give it up. She keeps saying that she shouldn't have endure difficulty if she just going to give up her own life. It is only luxury Elise can afford to have, her only obsession, the life that is only belong her.

Elise who is in deep thought heard a noise. A scream from another prison cell. So another child dies again... The fact that Elise will endure a rotten smell from the corpse again severe her distress. It will take several weeks to take down the rodent smell and it was the hardest days for all of them.

The door suddenly opened after a week. The man who was the bastard imprisoning them is in a hurry. Elise in her drunk state never flinch or moved.

"That fucker! I will kill them all!"

The man shout like a mad dog and started to cast a spell. The magic circle is being patterned little by little. Elise is sober and can see the struggle of the man. She is familiar by that cast spell. ... He body started to tremble and her no emotion eyes got bigger.

"No!"

That's spell is for big explosion!! They will die!!!

Elise is in panicked. The man keeps enchanting the spell but is in slow progress. Only that Elise catch that the man is bleeding. He has big wounds in his belly and some wounds over his body. The man is escaping from attacked!

Elise eyes got bigger. There were people invading them! Who are they? Elise who still in the prison cell watch the man in his vulnerability. He is casting slower now but the eyes are still vicious.

"You think if I will die now all of you can live? hahahaha! The empire is stupid and ignorant! The Saint is the cause of disaster. The stupid empire will collapse and the magic will disappear! The saint is the end of life!"

Man shouted louder and viciously. The dungeon is shaking by the force wave energy of the magic spell

"I, Ewers Dilon will kill the cause of doom! I will kill the Saint and be born as the perfect magician of the Empire! hahahaha"

Elise hurriedly went to side that does not have falling debris. She listened to every words that the crazy magician keeps repeating. Elise started to wish

A beautiful person, she already forgotten and now in the deepest part of her memory.

"Please, if it's you... Please save us..."

Then a loud tud sound of explosion come from the door. A big cracked is visible at the darkest alley... A small light faster spread at the dungeon prison. A long hair blonde shadow appears and the shining light from the divine power covered the surroundings...

Elise feels the warm energy inside her body. The light become bigger and beautiful face that is familiar to Elise show up.

"Alicia....."

"God... I'm saved."
