Chapter 21:

Duel of lovers

Light through my window


We approached the door, but it was without recesses for the gems. It's only difference was that on its top was a crystal eye that watched us, everything else was exactly the same. The eye changed it's color to yellow and it's suddenly started speaking with screeching voice:

"Oh-ho-ho, there was certainly no one here around, but now here are two alive beings. Hello-hello. Is it right? Is it hello."- He turned green:

"I'm soo happy, I'm not alone anymore."- He looked at us and asked:

"My guests why are you two here? Maybe do you want something from me?"- His eye started to blinking.

"Mister eye, we would like to go through door."- We said in unison. He slowly blinked:

"Mister eye, I never had a name, nice-nice, now I have brain"- He looked happy:

" So what the reason of you two being here, I don't understand."

We are here to g\"- I stopped Aurelia , and show her to look careful. And we saw how he turned red on one second, when she tried to tell, that we are living. He asked again:

"Could you repeat?"- He lagged a little. And suddenly his mood change and color turned purple:

"So you two want to leave me."- He was sort of sad and angry:

"Okay if you would play with me in some games and entertain me enough, I might help you two."- He turned green again, quasi smiling. But it send chills down my spine, something wrong about him.

" Don't worry, I'm Mister eye, always keeping true to my words, so you  two can trust me, oh almost forgot tell me your names?"- He asked with innocent look, as much innocent as he could do, being just an eye.

"Ro and Ju."- I said trying to feel the situation.

"Lie."-He said and turned red, our platform become a little bit smaller.

"Lia and Yo."- Aurelia answered, and platform stopped shrinking.

"Truth."- Robot happily started blinking with his green eye Next question:

"Do you two lost someone important?"-We nodded each other and Aurelia answered:

"Yes."

"Truth."

"Do you two killed someone?"- He asked all of the sudden. 

"Yes."- Was my answer. And Robot started to blinking and was confused:

"So you two bad peoples, I see. DO two of you, have close important to you peoples?"

"Yes."

"What would you felt if you lost them?"-He asked this question with pleasure. Aurelia started to answer and he interrupted her:

"There is no need to tell me, I would like to see, with my own eye. Fight each other and show me. As I calculated , you two the most important peoples for each other."- Something like that was to be expected, we were not surprised. And we started to circle around taking our weapons out. He looked at us with shock:

"You two, so easy wants to kill each other, just to go through this door."- He was in disbelief.

"We have too much stakes to stop here."- Aurelia answered preparing her arrow. Shooting it in my head. I easily deflected it with my sword. We looked at each other and winked at her, sending  my swords at her, But she stopped time and easily dodged it. How sad that our abilities doesn't work on this doors. I used my fire on her, but she predicted it and easily put it on, sending string at me. Eye tried to understand what is going on. I used blood and she used mirror ability to petrify it. We basically was equal. She easily kept distance, because of her time and petrifying ability, winning the advantage on the field. But she couldn't damage me , because of my fire and blood armor. We did not do any damage to each other and computer tried to calculate why we so easily agreed on this fight. Aurelia started to push me more and more, easily suppressing any of my intentions to attack. She shed a fake tear and stopped shooting:

"I can't do it to you. You the one who should go."- What a drama queen I though sending sword near her. 

"Hey, why did you attacked me?"- She puffed and send hundreds of arrows at me.

"But didn't you just said that I am the one who should go?"- I asked smiling deflecting her arrows.

"I was waiting for you to be more gentleman, but now , I don't see any reason to show you mercy."- She stuck out her tongue and  started to shoot me light arrows. I barely managed to stop them with blood control. And send my dimensional blade attack at her, but as expected her time control is just too strong. She decided to shorten the distance and in her hands there were threads. She tried to catch me with them, but I started fire on them, forcing her to drop them, but she take out her mirror and send petrifying beam at me, I used fire to block it, But she was already behind me , transforming her bow into rapier and furiously tried to pierce me. I barely blocked her. Such unmatched speed, so much fury in attacks... I guess I fall in love with this woman who tried to pierce me again.

"You are crazy."-said Aurelia sending her rapier again.

"You too."- I answered with a smile. And pressed myself against her rapier , pointing it right in my heart. Blood spattered from my mouth and felt on my knees right in front of her, I tried to stop as much blood as I can and looked at her with a smile:

" I love... you..."- And fell lifeless. Aurelia looked at me and turned to eye asking him:

"Mister Eye, are you satisfied?"- He looked at me and I started to create effect of me vanishing in thin air, but in reality, just in the shadow:

"Uhm, a deal completed, I don't want to be in one room with a person who killed her beloved one."- He looked at Aurelia with distaste. And he opened door wide openly:

"Please, leave me as fast as you can, you are disgusting."- And Aurelia picked up her rapier slowly entered the portal, and I did in the same time in her shadow...
