Falciette Story Chapter 14
Many of the members got injured, Despoina seemed to struggle a lot to dodge many of the attacks yet Tesadelles worry about her sisters own state was bigger… the curse made her attack Despoina more relentless… and so she ran out of Inannas grasp and ran towards her sister using some Magic.Â
"Gabrielle please… we wanna save Despoina… not kill her…you wanted to actually befriend her right… I know… you told me how you respected her strength… and wished you could get along in a friendly sparring way… I know…"Â
Daire looked at the sisters… trying to help Tesadelle's magic with his own…and so being able to calm Gabrielle's curse down…
"Thank you sister… you are right… I should change the approach now…we have to find a way to save her… Daire… come forward… we will find you openings and restrict her… try to call out to her. "
He nodded firmly and walked forward…
Second phase Despoina overblot boss:Â
The flames are now color coded but much more dangerous and focused… compared to the gimmick before where you had to stop the flames now its only about survival, trying to out attack her and keep health up.
Wearing Despoina down enough, she stood there, breathing heavily… in a reckless act Gabrielle walked up to her and pulled her in a hug.Â
"Please… stop this nonsense… this fight is over…"
"Nothing is over yet… I will never surrender…"Â
As she mumbled that her blue flames went more haywire… Gabrielle felt the intense heat of the flames and screamed in pain.Â
Tesadelle looked in shock but then used her magic to throw some magic in Despoinas direction, trying to make her sleepy… it helped in a brief moment for Gabrielle to withdraw… her body covered in burn wounds and her hair burnt off slightly… Despoina was about to make her way to attack Tesadelle instead who passed out on the ground after calming Gabrielle down but got hit by the magic of another student.
Daire used this opportunity to cast his Unique magic.Â
"Sister, if you can hear me in there… please… this is all just a curse… this is not you… and I will finally take this curse off you… as I promised."Â
The light beam shot into her direction but instead of calming her down, the necklace she wore lost that previous red glow…she coughed our black ink and her stomach turned bloody… Gabrielle watched in horror, the wounds on her arms still burning bright as Despoina collapsed on the floor… The flames slowly vanished one by one… Most of the students stopped their actions… As Daire rushed to catch his sister however… he noticed what had happened…Â
"Brother you… I finally feel free….Free of this curse…"Â
"D-des… you are bleeding…. No no no no no… someone quickly, heal her."Â
But as He cried out, Many students looked down in doubt… Despoina put her hand to his face and for one… smiled.
"It's not your fault… this would have happened anyway… I know why… *cough* ."
She looked ro Gabrielle, seeing her wounds still burn… and her hair that she scorched to be far shorter, she cut with a dagger.Â
"I am sorry we couldn't-"Â
"No… I am sorry for… hurting you… like this."Â
Daire sobbed the whole time until Despoina focused on him again.Â
"I'm… sorry for… everything… For just leaving you… please…. Live your life… hap…py…."Â
And with these words… she closed her eyes forever… many of the students started crying… Gabrielle sat down near Tesadelle who passed away a while ago.
Slowly the flames went out… and reality came back to them…. You looked in horror as Rouge spoke to you.Â
"Sometimes… fate is more cruel… even if it hurts… look down…"Â
You saw a similar stone to the other overblots that happened before. Many eyes shifted towards you as one student walked up to you in anger.Â
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAVE SUCH CASES RIGHT? WHY DIDN'T YOU-"
Gabrielle got up in an effort to protect you, but instead Sylvi pushed that student away and shook her head.Â
"Nobody could have saved her. We did our best efforts… it's not their fault…"Â
Eventually the group noticed Daire collapse on the floor and everyone reacted quickly… Vesper walked up to Gabrielle to help her up, while Inanna carried Tesadelle out of there and Sylvi brought Daire up.Â
Everyone slowly left this room. You were the last left looking at Despoinas liveless body… but hearing footsteps… another one entered the room belated… gasping in shock…Andrew who previously ran away from the whole fight….
He saw you and once again ran out of the room.Â
The smell of fire… the crimson red blood… it was a view you never wanted to see again…
