C7: Behold This Love

"Selena, let's talk"

"I do not want to" Selena turns her back and runs away from Karina, and Dyrroth.

Dyrroth just smirked at Karina "Your little sister won't listen to you, she is such a hardheaded." She just heaves a sigh

"I'll follow her. Check the things around" Then Karina walks away following Selena. He just bloops an air and starts walking around in their dark isles.

He was walking on the tumbled floor by hearing the cracks of dead looking violet leaves. When apparently, he have sensed someone on it's way entering the Abyss. His red eyes glows in blaze and prepares himself.

A mark appeared above Dyrroth's head, a mark of a skull that has spikes over around that means he's a target. He prepared himself, and takes recognition of his strong senses. When he found out where is it coming from towards Dyrroth's way, he quickly jumped into the air and took a kick with the hero.

Both of their strong forces set them both landing one foot into the ground. Dyrroth chinned up his face while grinning at Alduos whose looking deathly serious to him.

"Your strategies are pitiful"

Alduos did not bother his breezy words. "Where is Selena"

"You mean, 'my' lady?" Alduos seems to be triggered by Dyrroth's word, he teases him more "What for, Alduos? She is mine"

"I need to talk to her. So if you excuse me—"

Dyrroth was surrounded by his dark power in the Abyss, he quickly dashes onto Alduos's place to knock him off. But Alduos quickly activated his shield.

"What is your problem Dyrroth?" Alduos asked irritably as his right fist started burning in power ability.

Dyrroth's face now have became serious. "Who would recognise someone as weak as you?" He wielded a damage of his attack and kicked Alduos forcedly.

Alduos was crashed into the ground that made a small pile of damage. Dyrroth was already about to land on him, but he set ready of his blazing fist and punched his hand on the air.

"My fist are unflinching!"

Dyrroth was set off to land on the ground, but was not stumbled to fall. He did several dashes heading to Alduos's way, and when he was just a few meters away to Alduos, he activated a sharp shrapnel tail of darkness to hit Alduos with true damage.

Alduos activated a shield and an explosive thing around him, Dyrroth's power did nothing to him but gave him a high damage from it's too forbidden power. But still, Alduos managed to come near him to gave him his hard fist that is greedily to punch him to death already.

Dyrroth smirked, he then again is trying to do his destructive power "Poor you, why don't you just surrender?"

Alduos looked madly to him, but Dyrroth just grinned "Let me take you to another world."

He was about to release his beholding power before Alduos could get near him. But from a far, he wasn't alarmed with a stun. Before he could action, he was pushed with a very strong force than his into the ground. He received a strong scratch of her blazing sharp claws. She moved fast around him so he couldn't take action, every move of her in his sides deals him high damage and strong ones.

Dyrroth was set kneeling into the floor, with scratches, and bruises in his body. He raised his head and saw Selena in her Demon form that is starring at him deadly.

"Don't you ever do that again to him" Her voice in sound of several demons in the depths of hell.

She was about to hit again Dyrroth with her attack Soul Eater, but Alduos came behind that hugged her. It made her stop and calm, she didn't notice that she was automatically returned into her Elven form.

Alduos smirked in victoriously against Dyrroth whose looking at him sharp, and terribly.

"Selena, let us just go and talk."

She didn't resist when Alduos held her hand and he pulled her away already. When they were already gone, Dyrroth stood up carefully from the ground as he still tries to ease the pain in his movements.

"Busted again huh"

"Shut the f*ck up Karina."

It is almost at the middle of the night, but Alduos decided to bring Selena on the Western Expanse to talk to of something. They stopped in the lake, and both of them sat on a rock form beside.

"So what are you about to tell?" Selena asked Alduos upon staring at the full moon.

Alduos faced her whose gaze is onto the skies, he smirked "I love you"

Selena slowly faced Alduos and gave him a smug face. "I have no time for bullsh*t things okay? Gross."

Alduos just laughed, then he sighs. Selena raises an eyebrow. He bows his head "I am sorry."

"Sorry for what?" She asks in confusion. Alduos held her hand, and he squeezed it hard while looking directly in her eyes. She can read sadness, and complete messed up emotions in his eyes

"The Twilight Land is gone."

"N-no" Selena said in shock, with her voice cracking.

"It is because of the killer virus, it all started in the Twilight, in one of the lands. Until it gets on the Celestial Palace. We tried to stop it, but everything quickly turned into a destruction and our lives was almost set to an end of danger—"

She slaps him in the face, her hands are now trembling while smashing his chest.

"I hate you! I hate you! You are such a weak!"

He hugs her while she tries to fight him back, he ended nothing but hugging her tight inside his arms. Alduos felt Selena's tear, she is crying for the first time. The strongest lady, crying with him.

"I am sorry I was unable to protect our promised land."

"You dumbass! I'm crying because you're life was already close to death. I told you, you should have let me come with you!"

Alduos's feelings are flattered, he smiled as he tries to held the tears filling inside his eyes. He held both of Selena's hands, he wipes off her tears, then he held her face to look directly at him.

"Do you love me?"

Her cheeks blushed in pink, he finds it cute and he giggled. She furrowed her eyebrows to him as her defence mechanism at the sweet moment.

"Fuck you!"

"I love you too"

Alduos pinned her hair that is around her face behind on her ears. Both of his hands held the both of her cheeks, and they are back at staring onto each other, deeply.

"If ever that everything in this Land will be put into an end, not our love, Selena."

"Alduos..." She held his face, he smiles.

"Just let our feelings with each other, and even an end cannot replace what is in the depths of our hearts."

Selena smiled.

"I love you, Alduos"

Before he could reply a word, Selena already pulled him from the behind of his neck and their kisses met under the moonlight.
