Elyna

Elyna 
By Justin O'Neal

“Elyna, do you have the target acquired?”

                “Not just yet sir, I do not.”

                “Well, what the hell is taking you so long Elyna?  We need you on the target NOW!”

                “Sir, you do realize, this is the first you have contact me about this. Right?”

                “Yes?  What a stupid question.  What remains though is why you still don’t have the target in sight.”

                “Sir, you have not given my any of that information.” Elyna states in a half-wine.

                “Oh, yes, yes.  I had forgotten.”

                “Okay, so who is he?”

                Elyna lifts to the sky relaxed.  Her shoulder blades began to go out words.  The back of her legs bind up into a point.  Wings are drawn. She darts, to get ready for the information, Sebastian is about to give.  Faster than a missile.  Elyna’s right eye turns into a scope while out of her left hand a bow appears from the sky.  This bow was shaped with metal spikes at the start and end of a half circle bows possess.  Being a midnight purple with a chrome color pink streaking the sides that were deeper in the shell of the bow.

                “Elyna, are you ready?” Told in a voice ready for war.

                “Yes, equipment is almost all drawn.”

What more could this woman do? Well she draws out an arrow as she places her right hand behind her back.  As she did that, a quiver was then visible on her back. Full of arrows, they had the ability to hom.  Elyna then pulls the bow string towards her placing the arrow in position.

                “Sir, everything is ready.”

                “Nicely done, our target’s name is “Akio”.”

                “Background?”

                “He is the one.”

                Elyna’s eyes widen.  As she thinks to herself.  “He can’t be, it is just too soon for this.”

                “Okay sir, getting him in sight now.”

                Using her eye, Elyna was able to find Akio without knowing his location.

                “Now get on with it.”

                “Will do sir”

                Elyna soars across the sky, finding Akio with no problem. Slicing through every bit of air the arrow also has no problem getting to Akio. Unfortunately the arrow misses?

                “Huh? How you this be?”

                Again Elyna draws an arrow from the quiver, draws the bow string back and allows it slide through her fingers once the string is at its maximum.  The same thing happened.  This time she carefully looks around thinking there may be an interference.  With no luck, there wasn’t anything to pin point.

                “Sir, are you there still? Sir, this is argent.  Sir?”

                Unable to get ahold of Sebastian, Elyna rushes back to the lab where Sebastian stays stationed while hunting. She nears the entrance with a terrible chill down her spine.  Slamming the door open, the whole place is nothing but a mess, left behind like a child’s room.  Files and papers scattered every which way you look.  Desks flipped with broken glass and shrapnel from the metal everything is made with scattered within the room.  Before this the lab look of nothing but metal with a blue glow to cover up the cracks left where the first metal slab ending and the new one began.

                “Sebastian, are you here?  Hello, sir.”

                “I’m afraid he just left.  Do you wish to leave me with a message?”

                “And who are you exactly?”

                “Oh, that?  That isn’t for you to know.  Again, do you wish to leave a message?”

                “To hell with that, why would I leave you a message?  I don’t know you plus the lab is now a mess.”

                “Yes, your lab is a mess but you don’t know the reason behind why it is.”

                “You did it didn’t you?”

                “Perhaps, but why would I do this?”

                “I don’t know you tell me.”

                “Actually, I won’t be telling you why.  I got what I was after.  I am on my way now.”  The mysterious man leaves with nothing more than a cup of water. 

               

                “Ah, so she is after Akio huh?  Thankfully I was there to misdirect those arrows.  Akio, huh?

                The mysterious man sets back to the location of Akio’s vicinity, hiding out in a cave near the town called Aldipine.

                “W-what was that all about?  Sebastian, are you around here anywhere?”

                Elyna, skims the lab over once more, this time she hears a moan under some of the shrapnel.

                “Sir! Are you “okay”?”

                “Y-Yes, I am. Don’t mind me though, we have more important things that need care right now.”

                “What is it sir?”

                “Than man who was here, you must” Slowly his voice begins to fade.

                “I must was sir?”

                “You must.” It was too late. The words stay trapped within his mouth at this time.

                “Sir?”  Crying Elyna still tries to hear the rest of what he had to say. “Sir please!  What must I do?”  Elyna’s muscles in her hand tighten while tears fall timeless down her cheek.

                Rage growing by the minute, Elyna only has but one thing on her mind that she must do, and that is to seek revenge.  “God damnit” Hands still clinched “Who the hell was that man.  What was he after?  Sebastian didn’t have to die.  Not this way.”

                Elyna, again raises to the sky, this time not relaxed, draws her weapon and sets forth for revenge.  Not having a clue who he was or knowing his name only made it harder to find him.  Tears falling from the sky she knows there is no way to find out who the mysterious man was. Her only hope was Sebastian, and now there is no hope left for her.

               

                A devas smile grows wide.  “I have what I want, now all is doom.  Akio is safe, and that is all that was needed. Well, I mean I guess I should still go back to the lab and collect their research when all is clear.”  The mysterious man works his way out of the cave. There sets Elyna.  “W-well Hel-hello again.  What might bring you here?”

                Elyna’s face covered in a look of evil.  “You!” she replied with force. 

                “Me? Well what did I ever do?”

                “Sebastian. He died, because of YOU!

                “What do you mean?  I was only there for a cup of water.  I knocked a few times no one answered so I let myself in.  As I entered the place was already the way it was as we both saw it earlier.  I looked around to see if anyone was injured, but there wasn’t anyone to be found.  I am sorry for the loss you hold today, but I’m not the one you should be blaming.”

                “If it wasn’t you then who? Who did such a thing?”

                “I’m not sure.  I would love to help but I must be on my way now.”

                “No! It was you, how stupid do you think I am?”

                “Miss, please just listen to me, it wasn’t me!  I have to go now.”

                “Fine, but I swear, if I find out it really was you, there will be no holding back next time. I am sorry for the inconvenience.  I will leave now.”

                The mans face grew wide again.

              “That was almost too easy, the research will be mine at last!”
