1st wish (part 2)

The whole way to hana's house she was holding back the tears and anger. Around 3 am in morning she reaches the house and knocks on the door. Hana was coincidentally awake at that time.

she opens the door. Gets shocked by seeing mahiru fully drenched and trembling. When mahiru saw hana open the gate she falls in her her arms and burst into tears.

"Wh..what happened mahiru why are you here at this time. You are completely drenched" hana asked

"Waaaaaa..." mahiru kept crying 

"Let's get in the house first" hana said while being anxious 

Hana took mahiru in the living room, sat on the sofa. Hana ordered a maid to get a towel. Hana's parents also came down with all the commotion.

The maid came back with towel hana's mother took it and dried Mahiru's hair. After that they tried to calm her down and ask what happened.

" m..my...my father and mother we..w.. were killed in front of me. The house was under attack. Please S...sa.save the people in the house" mahiru said while crying

Both hana and her parents were shocked but rather then questioning more, they tried to calm down mahiru. They both know that bombarding her with questions will also make her uncomfortable and neither it gonna help resolve the situation.

Hana's father ordered male servant to send some of the best sword man and magician he had to go at hestin's house.

And female servant to prepare some clothes and stay with hana and her mother if they need something.

He ordered not to make too much noise and not to make the room crowded in which mahiru was.

After Some magician and swordsman were sent, hana's father also went there on horse. The rain had stopped by that time.

Mahiru calmed down a little and she was clinging to hana's mother taking deep breaths. Hana and her mother were still shocked about the news.

Hana's father Hecter had great number of swordman and magician working for him. He was ruler of Henth region, located in north east side of Nerk kingdom, a little closer to Etos region.

Hana's mother Lilia was good friend with Mahiru's mother Livia. They used to be with each other a lot. So she felt a deep sorrow on hearing about the attack. But she stayed calm and composed to not cause any further panic.

Upon reaching hestin's house. He saw that the whole house was in fire some guards were dead outside. It was seen which can easily fill some one with much fear that one can start shaking. Hecter saw that his people were already taking actions. Magician were chanting water and rain spells, swordsman were going inside and coming out with som survivors, whole some were searching and killing the criminals.

Hecter was also a swordsman and a masters level one. He had his sword with him, he went inside the house started looking for hestin and Livia. Some swordsman followed him inside.

On the first floor only maid and servants were found, hecter ordered his man to take them out instead of coming with him.

When hecter reached on 2nd floor, he started looking through everydoor he passed through.

He opened one after another door in hope to find hestin and Livia. After breaking the 5th or 6th door he found hestin laid on ground, around little far away from hestin there a woman. 

Hecter quickly went in and Placed his ears on hestin's chest, the heart beat wasn't there , then he went toward the woman and checked her face. She was someone else. She was not Livia , her heart beat was also stopped.

Hecter ran out of the room and started checking the left rooms. When he was getting closer to the last room he heard a voice

"St...stop!"

Hecter rand toward the room, kick opened it and he saw livia and another person there, his hand were around Livia's throat. Hecter rushed in, lift his sword and slayed his arm.

Livia started breathing heavily.

"Get out of the house livia!!!!" Hecter shouted 

Livia stand up and ran towards outside. The swordsman and magician were familiar with Livia they started treating her.

Livia looked toward the room she was in from outside.

'Crakkkkk' glass breaks 

hecter and the person Were fighting in air while falling down. Hecter cloths get tangled in tree branches, the person fells on ground, he uses the chance to escape.

Hecter cuts his clothes with his sword fells down and follows the person. He was making the distance between them longer and longer.

Hecter shouts "like i would let you escape!" 

Hecter taked a chance and throwed his sword at his and it killed him.

Hecter was not aiming to kill him but it didn't went as he thought. He takes back the sword and runs towards Livia.

Livia knew that hestin was killed. She was trying to hold back her tears and asked hecter where was hana.

Hecter told him everything. Livia felt a little relieved but still the sorrow of losing her husband outweighed the felling of relief.

Hecter and other saved the rest of people in house and went back.

At 5 am they reached the house. It was still quiet dark outside.

At Hecter house when hana heard the sounds of horse's she ran ad opened the door, she saw livia. Hana hugged livia and take her inside the house.

Mahiru was still clinging to Lilia. Livia saw her and said

"Thank goodness, mahiru you are safe."

Mahiru heard the words, turned her head and saw her mother. She again started crying and ran into her arms.

Lilia also cried tears of relief.

"If something have happened to you also, i dont think i would have the will to live on."said livia with tears

Both mother and daughter took time to calm down. The rest of hana's family left them alone in their room.

After all that incident Hecter stayed at home that day. He sent some people to hestin house to find something against the culprit, but nothing was found.

Its was not like mahiru was a total spoiled child, she had knowledge of some what sword play and she is a good magician. It was scene of seeing her father get killed and she also misunderstand the other lady as her own mother that made her lost the will to fight against. It was easy to thinks that the other lady was her mother because it was night time and you can't clear cut see who was there.

And it was also her first experience in a real battle. But its not like she completely left the house leaving others to die, she had burn marks and buries over her body.

She tried to save as many people as possible while she was escaping the house, Hecter also found some servants who said that.

The number of attackers was also a cause that mahiru except of fighting them all alone, thought of finding help.

The closest and strongest help she could find was from hana's father, so she came directly to their house.

At the same day something major happened with hikaru and yuki.

It was the same day when tre party as organised in Nerk kingdom, during day time time hikaru and yuki were focused on their training.

Hiakru was trying to use lightning magic 

"I guess I can't use it , I have no talent for magic" said hikaru

"You have to try and image what the lightning feels like" aki replied 

"Guess i have to try one last time with all my brain power" hiakru said with raising his hands

Yuki was beneath the tree using heling magic on a dead plant

Hikaru raised his one hand and hold it with another. Then he started to imagine how a lightning strikes. first the sound comes then with the speed of light it strikes and a point. Its very fast and causes a huge destruction on which it fell upon.

Light shines from Hikaru's hand, then with a great speed the lightning comes out, it went towards yuki

"Yukiiiii!!" Hikaru shouted 

Yuki manged to avoid it by a split second. She thought she was safe, 

"Look Behind, the treee!!" Hiaru shouted again 

The tree was struck by lightning and started to fall upon yuki. Hikaru was far away, the tree fall. Dust was spread in the air.

Hikaru with wide opened eyes and reaching with one hand saw it fall. 

He ran closer the dust settled down and he saw that yuki was safe. Yuki manged to jump just before the tree was going to hit her, yes she was able to use her legs.

The wheel chair was on side of tree and yuki was on other. Hikaru jumped upon her and hugged her tightly and said

"I...I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Yuki on the contrast of being scared, she was beaming with a large smile and said

"I was able to use my legs, i can feel them"

The tears of guilt was still there but some of them were replaced by tears of joy.

Hikaru calms down and asked after apology "can you stand up?"

"No, but I can move them a little"yuki siad with smile.

"May be it will take a little more time so that she can fully get back on her legs" said aki

Aki scolded hikaru saying "you should be a lot more careful"

"Sorry sorry I will keep in mind not to practice around people , be aware of surrounding" hikaru apologized 

Time passed, the sun was about to hide, it was almost night. Yuki was still outside enjoying the view and waiting for the old couple, hikaru was preparing dinner inside.

While yuki was looking at the sunset. Two person comes in front of the house and one of them greets yuki

"Hello miss"

"Ah.. hello" Yuki replies with confusion 

"I am Lues. I work under sir Nefrim. I am here to find someone, can I get your help?

" s..sure."

"Thanks for helping us, aa.. May I know your name Miss."

" i am yuki"

As soon as yuki said that she was attacked with spear of ice by Lues.

Hikaru heard sound outdoor so he  comes out while asking

"What happ......." he saw his sister

Her body was pierced by many spears. Hikaru' mouth lost word, he was trying to not believe in what he was seeing.

Aki and Sara also come there and gets shocked by the scene.

Lues orders the person next to him

"Send the message to sir Nefrim, the work is done"

He follows the order and runs back to nefrim.

Then Lues raised his hand in th sky, a big block of ice formed. Then he throwed it at yuki.

Hikaru was standing there before he was able to move he saw it happen, his legs left all the strength. He fell on his knees.

"Extremely sorry sir,  for making you see such a scene. But i was ordered to do it so please don't harbour hatered towards me, if possible I also didn't want to kill such a sweet child" Lues said with a sigh 

Hikaru's face was blank, not making any expression. With half opened mouth only tears came down from eyes.

Aki rushed toward hikaru and said

"Ca...calm down hikaru, calm down yu-"

He was cut in middle of completing the sentence by hikaru saying

"Aki you remember the 2 wishes?"

"Yes i do bu-"

"I want to use my first wish"
