[TW: PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, BLOOD, GORE and CURSING!]

Cyrus fell onto the ground already unconscious. June apprehended the muscular man as he tried to resist. At the same time Evelynn and Sho arrived beside Cyrus to check on their condition. 

“Please now, stop moving around.” June says in an irritated tone. 

“You do not understand!” The muscular man yelled, “I’m doing a favor to our god by getting rid of weak pests like them!” 

The three were baffled. “The fact that you still have an unpleasant mindset in this modern time.. How sad.” Evelynn replied. “Sho take care of Cyrus. I’ll go help June with this.. man…”

Sho nods to Evelynn. “Cyrus..?” Sho whispers to them, but no answer. Seeing that their condition was bad, Sho called for backup and informed the audience that the matches would be put on a break. 

Medics came to the scene to treat Cyrus as Evelynn and June finally apprehended the muscular man in the arena.

“YOU ALL ARE MAKING A MISTAKE! I’M DOING ALL OF THIS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD!” The muscular man kept spouting. 

“Ahahaha…” Someone’s laugh could be heard from the middle that the medics were encircling. 

“G-General Sho..?” One of the medics sounded concerned as they along with the others started to back off. Everyone’s attention was diverted to the person laughing.

Rising from the ground, a person dripping with blood from their forehead. This person should’ve been Cyrus, but looking at their expression felt like looking at someone totally different. 

“Haha.. ha.. You humans always think you’re better than any other species..” Cyrus.. says, “I’ve always wondered why that was. Your kind has always been the weak ones, so you seek to destroy other species.. haha”

Everyone present was getting really alarmed. They all had met and spent some time with Cyrus so they knew that this wasn’t normal behavior for them. From Cyrus’ dark expression, the calm but ill intended tone to their violent body language, everyone knew that something wasn’t right with Cyrus. The audience had been escorted away by other staff due to the malicious turn the event was taking and so were the medics. June had apprehended the muscular man and listened to who seemed to be Cyrus. Wary of them, they were immediately about to take the muscular man away from the arena; Away from Cyrus. 

Cyrus giggles, “Hey.. Why are you trying to take him away?” They start walking closer to June and the muscular man, but Evelynn and Sho get in front of Cyrus to stop them. 

“Cyrus! Calm down, whatever is going on in your head, please just calm down and we’ll talk about it after you get your wounds treated, yeah?” Evelynn tries to calm down Cyrus.. but her helping hand only gets ignored. 

The group knew that Cyrus couldn’t use any magical energy nor were they carrying any weapon, but the murderous aura they were emmitting was incredibly alarming. So everyone pretty much came to the conclusion that it wasn’t Cyrus anymore, but another spirit who possessed them and could wield magic.

Cyrus stops, “Why..?”

“...?” 

“Why would you defend scums like him who wouldn’t even do the same to you? Instead they want to destroy you, isn't that right Sho?. 

“..!”

“They want to destroy everything, own everything. Elven witches like evelynn, fallen ones like June… To even destroy whole populations like The Moonfolk.. doesn’t that hurt, Sho?”

“..How come you know about that..?” Sho asks warily. 

“Hehe..” Cyrus’ laugh quickly turned into a cold tone, “Now let me pass. I’ll personally get rid of that trash.”

Sho and Evelynn not budging pissed Cyrus out, so they tried to force themselves past them.  The two forcefully grab Cyrus to apprehend them.

Stuck, Cyrus started yelling and screaming,”Let go..! I SAID LET ME GO!! THESE FUCKERS KILLED THEM WITHOUT MERCY SO WHY I BEING STOPPED FROM DOING THE SAME!??”

“Guys, hold them down. I’ll knock Cyrus out for now.” June says as they draw out their rapier.

“YOU’LL KNOCK THEM OUT??? THEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE YOUR RAPIER OUT, ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THEM?!?!” Evelynn yells out in panic.

“Don’t worry I won’t kill them, just prevent them from moving.”

“EASIER SAID THAN DONE, THIS KID IS CRAZY STRONG!??”

“I don’t think using ‘kid’ to define Cyrus is right though.. I feel like they’ve lived way longer than we imagine..” Sho replies with a quiet voice. 

“Hm.. I suppose, but let’s talk about that later. Please keep holding them down.” 

As the two were still hardly keeping Cyrus in check, June got into stance, with their hands holding their rapier upwards pointing toward the sky and murmuring a spell. The rapier lit up and with it in June’s hand they dashed towards Cyrus and tried to hit their forehead with the tip of the rapier. But at that moment Cyrus broke free from Sho’s and Evelynn’s grasps and dodged June’s rapier, alarming the trio. 

Cyrus then quickly murmured something inaudible, raised their right hand and violently closed their palm.

“..?” Nothing happened, but just as the trio were about to go after Cyrus again, the ground started to shake, breaking violently and suddenly started to shift. 

*WHAM* 

They suddenly were all grabbed by hands made out of dirt. Sho, Evelynn and June were all being strangled by huge dirt hands that were solidifying and gripping harder every passing second. Now they were the ones struggling to breath and losing their senses..

Cyrus looks up to them with a pained face, “You lot are truly ignorant. Ignoring what truly is the problem here… But don’t worry I’ll probably let you down after I kill him.. That is, if I feel like it.” They laugh and start heading towards the muscular man. The three in being held started struggling and yelling, but the yells were only heard as muffles. 

Cyrus, finally in front of the muscular man, who had gained consciousness. Cyrus squatted before him and summoned a dagger from thin air without a spell or command and held it on top of the muscular man's eyes. 

“...Do you have any last words, scum?” 

The man started hideously sobbing with snot coming out of his nose and tears falling out of his eyes. He kept trembling in fear and begging, “No.. PLEASE, OH PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T ACTUALLY MEAN TO CHOKE YOU TO DEATH!!”

“Oh, so you didn’t mean to kill me?”

“YES, YES, T-THAT’S RIGHT… SO P-PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!”

“Hm..~” Cyrus started ‘pondering’. “Too bad, I don’t feel like doing so.. ♥So i’ll just kill you instead♥.”

“MHHMM!?!?!” The three being held by the dirt hands, including the muscular man, feeling incredibly helpless, started yelling in fear. 

At that moment Cyrus held their dagger with both of their hands, aimed the tip of the dagger on top of his eyes..

“N-NO.. PLEASEEEE!!!”

AND!- 

The sound of someone's flesh being stabbed could be heard in the quiet and empty arena..

.

.

The muscular man carefully opened his one eye.. and saw that he was okay.. And suddenly the three being held by the hands, fell. The hand had reverted into normal dirt. They all looked around to really comprehend what happened and near the arena’s entrance, June spotted someone. 

“Master!” They yelled out.

A figure stepped into the arena. The person had peach colored long hair, a divine looking white and gold dress and a large customized bow.

“What the hell is this…?” Cyrus said in an irritated voice, looking at something pierced on their arm. On their arm was a medium sized white arrow, fairly deep with Cyrus’ blood dripping down. Without hesitation Cyrus pulled the arrow out and blood came bursting from it. With their other hand, they press on the wound. They look around with difficulty, until they spot the peach colored haired person. 

Panting and sounding out of breath, “Fuck.. It was you.. wasn’t it..?”

The person stays silent and simply ignores Cyrus, going to check up on June and the other two. The person helps June up and they start talking amongst themselves, the person was most likely asking the three the condition they were in.

Seeing that they kept being ignored enraged Cyrus, “Y-YOU DID THIS TO ME AND NOW YOU’RE IGNORING ME?? YOU BITCH! YOU MOTHERFUCKER TURN AROUND-” Cyrus tried to stand up but fell as they stumbled on their own foot. Leaving them to lay on the ground unable to get up anymore, they felt dizzy due to the immense loss of blood. 

Cyrus yells out with a weak voice, “Wh-what the hell is this..?” 

The peach colored haired person noticed Cyrus lying on the ground and struggling to get up anymore. After excusing themselves to June and the others they walked over to Cyrus, who was still pitifully attempting to land punches to the person's face.

Cyrus was determined to keep going, but that was no use.

*THUD!*

They fell back onto the ground.

The person gently rests their palm on Cyrus’ hand and with a calm tone they say, “You must have been traumatized, child. Fall asleep and when you’ll wake up again the pain will be gone.”

“Hah..? Don’t put your filthy hand on me..-” The drowsiness hit Cyrus and they finally passed out. 

Falling into a deep, deep sleep…
