Forever

Chapter One: Warm Welcome

Loud footsteps echo through out the dungeon. From the sound of them, it was fast pace like multiple people was running. Running from what was the question. Since it's in a dungeon its most likely a monster.

⦁    [Run Amera!]

⦁    [Ughhhh I'm going as fast as I can sis!]

In the dungeon were two girls whose apparence looked to be about in their late teens. They were running as fast as they can. Pushing out all the energy they can to get as far away from whatever that is chasing them. Huffing and puffing, they were starting to run out of breath. The expression on their faces showed that they were scared. Whatever that is chasing them intended to kill them and they knew it. One of the sisters looked around to find the path they had came from.

⦁    [This way!]

The oldest of the two dragging her sister behind her. Her long brown hair tied up swaying in the wind as she ran. The cold air hitting her beautiful pale face. Her blue eyes wide in fear as the thought about what was behind them.

⦁    [Elena...] mumbled Amera. She was trying her best not to cry.

Amera was the youngest of the two. Long brown hair, the same as her older sister stopped at her waist. She didn't have blue eyes though, hers were green. Like a pair of emeralds shinning under the sun light. Yet these pair of emeralds did not have that brilliant light. These emeralds were beginning to dull. Dulling from the fear of the monster chasing them.

(Why is THAT here?! This is a rank D dungeon! Why is an immortal here?!)

Elena thought as she was running. Bead of swear dripping from her forehead and slowing flowing down her neck. The two of them were the strongest D ranks in the city they lived in.  The two had to gather resources from the dungeon for a quest. This was also a well know dungeon for rank D adventures.

It was also the easiest dungeon to gather Aum plants. Commonaly used for its healing ablities. It is also an ingredient for potions.  They also were trying to subjegate monsters as well to raise their ranks. Anyways "Immortals", who Elena was refering to are beings who attained this rank through spirit cultivation. The result was "limited immortality". Immortals are known for their super strength, speed, reflexes, hearing, and smell.

They are generally way stronger than regular humans and most monsters. Immortals are immune to certain injuries, disease, and age. But that doesn't mean they can't be killed. Immortals can be killed by stronger immortals, people with higher spirit ranking or gods. It is very rare for a regular human to actually have the strength to kill one. If they are blessed with blessings from gods or born with an abnormal amount of mana then they maybe will stand a chance.

Large kingdoms or cities do have immortals as guards for certain disasters like monster attacks or another kingdom attacking.  Gods rarely interfere with human business. This immortal that was following the girls is known to mess and torture its prey. He would slowly but surely catch up to them. Giving them false hope that they can get out alive, but in reality they are digging deeper into their graves.

This dungeon was often his location for 'food' per say. He was certain that before their deaths, he would ravage their bodies to his pleasure. Then discard them like trash afterwards. Those that aren't on par with him are all trash, they deserve to die beneath his feet. To beg for their worthless lives. This certainly was a world where the strong live and rule while the weak and poor obey.

⦁    [Hahahaha you can try all you want, but I CAN catch up.]

He yelled loud enough for the two to hear.  Elena knew they were getting close to the exit of the dungeon. Shes been to this dungeon twenty times at least, she better had remembered. Seeing the light beyond the corridor her eyes shined. They were met with the forest, but still kept running for their lives. Trees passing by as they went.

(If we can at least get close to the city. The immortal guards will be able to help us. Please!)

She reasured herself. She looked back at her sister. Amera was pale when she heard his laugh. She didn't think that a normal day for herself and sister would end like this. She was reaching adulthood. There was so many things she still wanted to do. She wants to see her tomboyish sister get married and have a family. Even a family for herself. She even wanted to see her dick brother. To see her parents again.

⦁    [Elena...do you think we can make it out alive?]

She had to ask her sister. She really wanted to hear that confidence Elena admired for. To see her reasuring smile and tell her that everything will be okay. Elena was silent for awhile, but she still replied.

⦁    [Amera...I'm not going to lie. I don't know, but I know for damn sure we're gonna try and make it to the city walls. If not...just know that I love you. Know that Leon does truely care for you even if he's harsh and kind of a dick.]

Elena gave her a smile and turned to the front.

(Not missing a beat even when she's tired of running.) Amera thought.

Elena wants to raise in the ranks as an adventure to show her father that she can live in this world on her own. She doesn't need his money or her status. She was going to do it with her own strength and intelligence. Looking behind she saw his figure. He was increasing his pace now. That creepy smile still on his face. She noticed he threw something at them.

⦁    [Amera he's attacking again! Be on guard and go in front of me.]

Amera looks back and also saw the attack. She remembered when Elena blocked the attack when the immortal first appeared in their dungeon level. Although it knocked her back, she didn't die. Amera truly admired her sister. She was the reason Amera was able to get to rank D. Luckily they were able to be in the same team for the rank test.

It was a fireball that was coming straight at them. The immortal didn't care if the forest went into a wild blaze. He would care less. All he saw was red, and that was his prey.

⦁    [It's fire! Try to neutralize the flame. We don't want the forest to catch on fire.]

Amera feared for her life, but she was gonna fight if she has to. Even though her legs were shaking wildily right now. She started to chant.

⦁    [Bring me quiet, bring me peace, cease this fire, Water ball!]

A large water ball started to form from her staff. She aimed it at the fireball and resumed running with Elena. Elena gave her a smile signaling she did a good job. She returned it with a wry smile. The immortal was beginning to get bored. His orginial plan was to keep them in the dungeon and kill them there. But he let this game go on too long. Now they're out in the open, he wanted to hear the screams echo from the dungeon. Sighing from this small mistake he deicided to stop playing around and get them.

⦁    [Times up~]

Not hearing what the immortal said, the two sisters kept running. Elena saw a figures back walking in front of her. Sadness flashed in her eyes. She knew another victim was going to die from this monster. The least she can do is warn them. If she herself can't live, she will try and save her sister and the figure. She yelled with all her might.

⦁    [RUNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!]

The immortal caught up to them and grabbed Elena by the pony-tail and threw her towards the figure. She couldn't react fast enough resulting with shock and fear appearing on her face. Amera eyes went wide in shock and her body started to tremble. Tears started to form and then flowed. She then started to scream wanting to run towards her sister.

⦁    [ELENA!!! NOOOO!!]

The immortal not missing a beat stopped Amera in her tracks. Grabbing her body into a hug. He started to sniff her. Disgust and hate apparent on her face. Elena body flew at the figure hitting the person on the back. It didn't cause the person to fall, but they did stumble. Elena heard mumbling coming from them.

⦁    [Huh??? What was that?]
