The humans are coming at an accelerated pace. Not fast enough to get them tires yet not slow enough no give us time to think or do anything. They are coming directly at us.

' They probably know where we are. '

(Devouring monster)

' Oh, welcome back. '

(Devouring monster)

-So you only showed yourself because you felt the danger to your life? I'm starting to understand it.-

(Kit)

' Calm down kit. He is right. '

(Kit)

' Anyway, it changes nothing. I bet they are going to fight us head-on as well. We'll just fight. '

(Devouring monster)

' What kind of question is that? Of course, I'm fighting for... for... '

(Devouring monster)

(Kit)

' For... For... For Noemi! That's it! '

(Devouring monster)

' W-what do you mean? I'm fighting for her, ain't that obvious!? '

(Devouring monster)

' I don't want that. '

(Devouring monster)

' What about my companions? I can't abandon them '

(Devouring monster)

' What is there to admit... I...'

(Kit)

(Devouring monster)

' No! I'm nobodies puppet! '

(Devouring monster)

At that moment my mind became muddy and I blacked out. I couldn't see what was happening but I just knew that the monster was trying to take over my body while Kit wasn't allowing him to do so. I try to open my eyes and find myself in that same dark space again.

-So I entered that state again.-

I was murdering every human that appeared in front of me. At that moment I remembered what it was that the monster helped me forget a while back... I want to kill all humans. That was the reason I joined the demons, who are the enemies of humanity and also the reason as to why I didn't want to be human myself. I kept lying to myself and finding rational reasons to fight and kill humans.

When I came back to my senses, the battle had already ended. I went on a rampage and as such, most groups died as a result of me screwing with their strategy. Yet, they couldn't say anything to me. In the end, I killed half of the human army. That in itself probably saved more those that died because of me. I was tired, exhausted. All of that slashing and punching and jumping around had drained most of my stamina.

(Kit)

(Devouring monster)

(Kit)

(Devouring monster)

' I... I don't know... I don't want to kill them anymore... There's no need, yet... I don't know what to do! '

I look around and notice that everyone was looking at me and shivering. Even Galgo, Mirim and Diond were shivering. Out of everyone, only Noemi dared to take a step forward.

«Are you alright?» (Noemi)

«I... I don't know. Please tell me something. » (Me)

«What is it?» (Noemi)

«What am I? What should I do?» (Me)

«What you are huh... I don't think that really matters does it? You are you and you are my lover. Is that not enough? If you really don't know what to do, let's run away. Let's run away somewhere where we can be ourselves. What do you think?»

At that moment something clicked inside of me. I realized something so simple yet so meaningful. Before being a swordsman, before being a warrior, before being a student, before being human or demon... I am myself. I am someone similar to many other yet so different. And so is everyone else... I just wanted to a part of a group and be protected... When I got out of it, I got lost and joined another one...

At that moment I realized, Noemi is the one person I always needed in my life. Overwhelmed by emotions, hot tears fall down my bloody face as I hug Noemi, Noemi hugs me back, and I cry my lungs out. When I finally calmed down and managed to clean my tears I looked Noemi in the eyes. I had made my decision.

As Noemi looks into my eyes, filled with determination, she shows the sweetest smile I had ever seen.

«Let's go then?» (Noemi)

-No wonder I fell for you...-

As I smile and get off my knees a scream echoes.

«The humans have brought reinforcements! And the Fire Empress is among them!» (???)

Once I saw it, I dropped back on my knees. It was almost unbelievable.

Leading the somewhat small army as a gorgeous girl with around 18 years wielding golden flames as golden her hair and piercing through us with her blue eyes as blue as the sunny sky.
