《Equilibrium》21.) A Dream?
Advertisement
A bright flash and a dazzling golden brimming light appeared. The moment Hohenheims and the mysterious mans fists collided.
An enormous gale arose around those two and a massive shockwave ripped everything around two hundred meters apart.
Soil and parts of trees, as well as the remains of a wooden shed, everything was blown through the air and ending up pulverized in tons of dust specs.
But just as the opening for an even bigger impact, the gale vanished and within the plain, which was created, a death bringing silence emanated, the pebbles and the dust slowly started shaking.
And with a harsh frown, Hohenheim discovered a bright golden radiance covering his arm.
He felt no pain, but with an enormous speed he could see, how the golden radiance began to spread forth.
With a rapidly growing stronger aura the golden radiance began to spread, first his hand than his arm and nearly his shoulder.
“Mia cut it off! CUT!”
With a reaction faster than imagination Hohenheim jumped a few meters aback and pulled Mia with his left hand.
A sound as if a razor sharp blade would cut wind appeared and with a muffled “damp”
Hohenheims right arm was entirely cut off.
But to his and Mia's surprise, there was no blood flowing from the wound and neither was there a limb of flesh lying on the ground.
Hohenheims regeneration speed was unbelievable fast, but he did not recreate a new limb, instead he discovered that only his wound had been closed.
And his cut of limb had fully turned into something gold-likely.
The golden radiance had turned his arm into a golden sculpture.
“Hahaah, you got some good reactions there. Really I am impressed, not many people could save themselves from my curse.”
The mysterious man meanwhile, was not looking too well either, his hair has been made into a mess and the arm he collided with Hohenheims has been entirely broken. A bloody mess covered the cloak beneath his right arm. But still did he kept his overbearing arrogance
“Hohenheim, your...your arm!?”
Mias sweet voice rang out and let a bit of panic slip in her manner.
“Dont worry, its just an arm. More importantly what was that? Who is he?”
Hohenheim held Mia in his remaining left hand and observed the situation.
His face remained calm, but he immediately reassessed his opponent.
The golden radiance was still emanating from his cut of arm and the mysterious man gave of a really pressuring aura.
Everything about this man seemed dangerous.
“At first I only could guess who he is, but after seeing what happened now, I am sure he is an X rank monster. He is called Midas The Unrighteous, we really are unlucky to encounter someone like him here. I am not sure about how strong he really is, but I would suggest we escape for now.”
Mia thoughtful explained and exhaling a deep and meaningful sigh
“Huh, really that dangerous? I already thought he must be not ordinary.
Okay, I have a plan. I will release you now and you will assure to pick up Leonie, afterwards you will escape into the forest. I will hold him up so long and when I get an opening I will follow..”
Hohenheim responded and tightened his grip around Mias handle
“Be sure to know your strength, even if you are immortal, there are ways to kill even gods! This man has killed dozens of divine beings, be careful.”
with a bit unwilling thoughts Mia agreed, she has seen through the situation and realized that there was no other option

A blazing white light shone upon the area and with a fast and unnoticeable flash, a shadow like silhouette surged towards, the unconscious, Leonie and picked her up.
Then disappeared into the darkness.
“Huh, wanting to escape ha? As if, it took me too long to find this girl!.”
But unexpectedly the mysterious man wasnt impressed by the white light neither was he surprised by Mia.
He indifferently gestured and a small symbol appeared within his hands, with bursts of oppressing aura, another golden radiance shot in direction of Mia.
“This is bad! Its too fast. Crap...!”
upon realizing that the golden radiance flew with an enormous speed, Hohenheims reaction time was heavily tightened.
A small cloud of dust arose around the place where Hohenheim was standing and within a blink of an eye he disappeared.
“Puchi!”
A large amount of blood sprayed in Mia´s direction and she immediately slowed down.
A paper white pale expression and with tears in her eyes, she realized what has happened.
Shortly before the golden radiance reached her, Hohenheim appeared in front her and blocked it.
But it went directly through his upper chest and left a gaping chasm, where normally his heart should have been.
“...NOO!” Mia felt as if a black hole is consuming her soul and her mind went blank
With a muffled sound she sank limply to the ground, blankly staring at the heavily wounded Hohenheim in front of her.
And with no more reactions of Hohenheim, his body started to glow golden and immediately began to turn into gold. It happened so fast that within a second his whole body turned completely to gold.
“Tch..., what a waste. And there I thought he would be someone worth of fighting... but just to save someone willingly throwing his life away? What a mess!”
A bit baffled about the situation Midas grabs his face with his hand and slowly levitates towards Mia and Leonie, who still is in a princess carry by Mia.
“Oi! Girl, snap out of it... He fought brave to save you, so I´ll spare your life if you hand me that lil one there!”
Midas arrived before Mia, while pointing on Leonie
“YOU...! What have you done!”
Mia still looked at the golden sculpture in front of her, while stumbling something very loud.
But as if tripping on a mine, Midas face went pale and a whiff of strong fear spread through his mind. He immediately jumped a few meters aback.
“Huh... that was strange, for a moment I felt definitely a strong killing intent...
Could this girl.. be... SHIT”
Without further time for any thoughts Midas realizes that the distance between him an Mia was rashly closed by a very sinister and dark looking female silhouette.
Like a blurry shadow, Mia vanished from his front and a piercing pain went through his body.
Midas looked at his left side belly and astonished discovers a gaping bloody wound.
“What the...”
“Smack!”
A dark blue shining pentagram appeared in Mias right hand and grew in size as she waved her fist towards Midas face.
The sound of bones cracking spread through the night and with a storm like wind. Midas entirety was accelerated and blown away.
For a short moment all his senses were spinning and with a large impact he crushed into the villa.
Only stopping at a black marble pillar at the front yard.
Mia had punched him a distance of one thousand meters.
“ARGH... this little shi...”
Midas pulled himself up again and knocked away some dust and pebbles, while examining his wounds.

But barely as he inspected his body further, a dangerously dark and intense aura arose around him.
Shortly after, Mias dark silhouette stands in front of him.
An unimaginable fast kick catapulted Midas back to his senses, he tried to cover his body with his left arm and tried to block the kick.
But it was useless, as Mia instantly broke Midas arm and forced her slender leg forwards, until countless bones snapped and broke in Midas body.
Again he only felt his head spinning and flew another 1000 meters in the air,while crushing through the roof and leaving a few disturbed servants.
“How can this girl be so fierce... Its as if I am fighting a real demoness. If this continues I really have to use that...”
Blurting out a mouthful of blood as he fell down again.
POV Hohenheim.
I accelerated as fast as I could, this golden radiance really looks strong.
But I am fast enough, this shouldn't be a prob...
“SCRACK!”
Fuck ..., I tripped over my own clothes and directly fell between Mia and the radiance.
And there I told Mia that I hate wearing too long clothes...
To my surprise I dont feel any pain, but I am sure that I got hit by that golden light...
“Ahh crap that's disgusting...” I look down my body and realize there is a large hole torn through my upper chest.
Huh whats that everything gets blurry... As I woke up I was surrounded by a white shining landscape.
Is this something like the afterlife? Did I die?
No I am immortal right?
Ahh, but Mia mentioned something that this guy was able to kill divine beings...
Crap its much too bright here and there seems to be nothing else than white floor and white horizon.
Is this some external void?
I wander around in search for something that would lead me out, but It feels as if I am running in a not furnished white square room.
Maybe my void ability can teleport me out of here.
I raise my hand and create a blue shining orb on my palm. I throw it into the air and it rapidly grows in size. “Open gate”
The blue orb grew larger and suddenly embraced me into it, my vision turns blurry again and a second later I find myself in a blue version of the same not furnished square room
Great... my void, that I created, seems to be limited to this external space.
But suddenly I feel an unfathomable and deep aura behind me.
I turn around and discover a young man with blonde hair and light blue eyes, in his teenage age.
Probably around 12-14 years old.
“Who are you? Do you know where I am?”
I walk a bit nearer and ask him.'
But there was no reaction to me, rather it seems as if he would look directly through me.
“Hey you? Are you ok? Do you know where we are?”
I try again to communicate with him, but another failure.
Suddenly the space seems to shift away and change, I recognize how the world around me starts to shift pass me and suddenly buildings and grass plains arise around me.
It happened very fast and within seconds I find myself in a big hall.
In front of me is a large throne and besides it is a long black haired women sitting in a smaller chair, holding her face and crying.
I dont know what is happening here but it feels very surreal. I tried to use any of my powers for mind reading on the women, but it seems none of my ability's is working here, at least not the ones which would concern the people here.
So I decided to watch a bit longer.
I hear someone coming from behind me and turn around, just to see the young blonde boy again.
This time he is in accompany of a brown haired slender women in her great age of maybe 25-29 years old.
The both of them walk up to the crying women and say something to her.
I decide to go further, it seems they really cant see me.
So I eavesdrop a bit.
“Faruna, I know that its hard to accept, but the king is dead! And there is nothing we can do about that fact.
But we must continue the reign, especially in times like this.”
The brown haired woman says to the crying one.
“I...I will not allow this bastard to take over the crown! I never accepted his existence.”
The crying woman wipes her tears and stares at the blonde boy, while accusing him for many things
“But Faruna! He is his only son, even if it wasnt in marriage, he is still the legit heir of the throne.
And he has also the gift, he is able to use the special royal power. Midas go on show her.”
The brown haired women reasoned with the crying one and then turned in a gentle voice towards the blonde boy
“En” The blonde boy nods slightly and pulls a small piece of iron out of his pocket.
Shortly after he waves the piece of iron in his hands and it began to smoothly reform itself.
The boy formed many different shapes from it by only his pure will.
“See Faruna and his powers are extraordinary. With a bit more of training he will be even stronger than the previous King. He has solidly proven that he has not only blood likely the right for the throne, but also in his unique power.”
The brown haired woman continued to demand on behalf of the boy
“No! I will not accept him. Guards take him to the prison. I will not tolerate this farce any more!.”
Suddenly the former crying woman had a change of mind and she now angered shouts to the guards.
I wasnt paying attention to my surroundings, but meanwhile a lot of armored and well trained guards appeared from all sides, surrounding the young boy.
“Faruna you cant! Bend in! Otherwise I am forced to act up!”
But the brown haired woman walked in a protective manner in front of the blonde boy and pointed towards Faruna.
“Huh? So you refuse your Queens command? That is treason to your country! Better you reconsider that, even if you are the famous Witch of the North, I will not show mercy towards traitor.”
“Uhrgh, you are so unreasonable! Fare well ...sister...”
The brown haired woman suddenly waved her sleeve and a strong gale brushed the guards away.
Then she formed a red flame in her right palm and spoke some words of an unfamiliar language.
האש של הצפון לקום ולתת לחוק האפר להחיל שוב".
With a rashly change the fire in her palm rose very huge in size and a dancing firestorm was formed.
But as I take a closer look the fire formed itself into a silhouette. The silhouette was large, around 4 meters in height and its body was pure heat and flame, nearly as if a sun came to life, everything burned to cinder.
The guards, pulverized
The throne hall, near to coal and ash, even the walls were starting to melt
Everything turns to ashes and melts away, except the blonde boy and the brown haired woman.
“Sister have you forgotten that I am also an expert in Hebraic magic?”
But to their surprise the fire demon was heavily pushed back, as a giant water serpent entwines it.
And another sentence of that language echoed through the burned hall.
“הו נחש גדול של מים לשמוע הרצון, החיים הכפריים.”
Faruna was still there and had cast a spell for herself.
I really have no clue what language that is, but she mentioned something about Hebraic magic... It seems very powerful.
For a short while the two elemental creatures fought with each other. It was a great spectacle as they both did not restrain themselves and after some huge and mighty exchanges the hall was no longer and even a greater part of a once supreme palace, now only lies in crumbles, ashes and mud.
The both creatures disappeared and arose into the sky vanishing into a huge thunder cloud.
But the battle was far from over, As I looked at the battlefield the boy is covered into a strong and shapeless barrier with some very strange glowing runes on it.
And a bit further from him two women, their hair flattering in the upcoming storm wind, stood face to face and held some magical stances.
But it seems as if the outcome was clear, Faruna had only one arm left and looks very exhausted.
While the brown haired women still stood in a well manner before her and shouts something.
“Faruna, sister! Please give in. This has not to end in chaos, we cans still rebuild the castle and oversee this incident.”
“Pahrg, the hell I will! If this is my end, I will take you with me!”
Faruna turned mad and cut open her shoulder where a large amount of blood sprayed on the ground.
And with a will of hers, she formed a strange magical circle with her blood.
“מות דם נסיך, מי ייתן לך לקחת אותי ואת לטרוף הכל.”
“No, Sister not that spell! You will loose your soul!”
the brown haired women suddenly screams in panic.
But it was too late, as Faruna finished her sentence a loud growl and a death wailing scream came from her body. It split open widely and intestines, flesh and blood were blown through the air.
And after a second a huge bloody creature appeared out of the flesh and blood mixture.
Its body was out of a bloody mist and indescribable, nearly shapeless.
But it gave one the feeling as if the whole world would be laid to waste by it.
As eyes it only has two large and pitch black bulbs, with a slight and faint red glowing
And its mouth is a grinning abyss with nothing but a fear emitting fog inside.
“Oh no, sister... How could you summon a Bloodlord to this world.
Listen Midas! I will send you away, do not come here until you receive message of its defeat! You are the last hope of this continent, you must not die!.”
With those words the brown haired women again casts a spell
“טבע ללכת בדרך שלך אבל להתלוות אליו במסעו" And a bright shining green light covered the young boy.
He disappears and only the Bloodlord and the brown haired women stayed behind.
And a fascinating scene appeared for me to spectate.
The woman turned towards the Bloodlord and with a fierce grin she smirks and pierced her heart with one of her hands.
Following is a bright white light covering the entire area and as if an Angel would descend a figure with white colorless and glimmering wings levitates from the sky.
“The great Archangel has heard your wish, dont fear small mortal I will cleanse this world from that evil, in exchange for a soul of pure and good intend.”
the huge Angel appeared and lands in front of the Bloodlord.
But the Bloodlord seemed very angered, the bloody mist of its body began to twitch and a deep and frightening growl exits its mouth. It surges at the Angel and a frightening oppressing aura emits from it, strangely I can feel those auras.
But shortly before the bloody mist reaches the Archangel, a holy and divine glowing sword pierced the mist and shattered the Bloodlord. The sword absorbs the existence of the Bloodlord and then the Archangel disappears in a white shining light, cleaning the thunderclouds in the sky.
Only a wasted plain was left behind and the brown haired women had died while standing. Her corpse was still standing in a proud position, but her soul has been removed by that Angel.
Suddenly my vision blurs again and I see only black.
I cant move my body... something has either paralyzed me or I am somehow tied up.
I try to shift my body by my void ability and I freed myself. Right now I see why I couldn't move.
Before me lies an exact copy of me, but in gold. It seems that covered me up for a short while.
I inspect my body and discover that nothing is wrong anymore, even my arm has regenerated itself.
I look around in search for Mia, but I can just find Leonie lying in front of a tree. All around here is something like a battlefield. The surrounding is totally remodeled.
And I feel two very strange auras coming from the near villa.
I decide to inspect that further.
Back to normal
Midas saw, the upcoming Mia with an enormous speed as he fell downwards.
He realized that the battling aura she released was very strange one and likely that another one of her attacks would deal a fatal blow.
While he was falling towards the awaiting Mia, he shrugged and managed to stop his fall.
The same time he pulled his fine arm towards his head and ripped something from his forehead.
“Unseal!”
He screamed and a drastically change happened to his damaged and broken body.
The golden aura around him again got a strong boost and within a blink of an eye he was healed completely also emitting a very dominating golden aura.
“So little girl, you had your fun! But now its over. To force me to even unseal my second seal, that is something only very few have accomplished. Be proud young one.”
Midas shouts while he waved with his arm.
Mia looked up and tried to foresee Midas attack, but as she turned her head a figure already appeared in front of her.
A small tip with his open palm and Mia was struck with an unbelievable strong force.
By just merely touching Mia, Midas has blown her 5 thousand meters away.
She was struck by many buildings and ended up in the nearby edge of the forest, where a large tree embraced her as she crushed into it.
She wanted to stand up, but doing so she suddenly tastes blood in her mouth and vomits a large puddle of blood.
The impact with a mere touch from Midas has burst Mia´s internal organs and wounded her heavily.
But she was not being chased by Midas, instead she was left all alone and only shortly after realized that she had left Leonie alone.
Mia´s face is carved from pain, but she stands up and activates her ability Spirit Guardian. As the spirit guardian of a god she is able to activate that spell in a life and death situation on her own, normally a guardian can only use its ability's when ordered by his god which is why Mia couldn't use her full strength.
But with a sudden magical circle around her she is covered in a blessing white light.
Rashly after she is fully healed and speeds up towards Leonies direction.
As she arrived there she sees something that shoots her tears in her eyes.
