Chapter 13
Kiana dreamed of a different life
A simpler one
A peaceful one
A wholesome one
One without the Honkai
One where she didn't need to fight for her life
One without that stupid bet
One where she's a simple girl living with her mother living in a simple village where all her friends live
It was a nice dream
Until it wasn't
Her mother taken by Honkai corruption
And then they came
They took her and her friends
They said they were taking them to a better place
However what awaited them wasn't a better place
It was hell
Beds
Straps
Needles
Oh gods the needles
Then came the pain
It burned
It burned from the inside
And all she could do was scream
It reached the point where her own screams sounded wrong to her
…
They took her friends
She didn't know who went when
But she knew
Some went and never came back
Her turns come faster and faster
And then…
And…
Then…
What greeted Kianan when she woke was voices, distant and unintelligible
One of the voices was familiar
The other… not so much
Her awareness is returning to her slowly and as it returned she began to realize her situation
Her eyes are open, yet all she sees is darkness, was she blindfolded?
There’s also something in her mouth, almost like she was gagged but… not quite..?
She's not in her battlesuit, nor is she in her regular clothes instead she's in a gown of some sort
She's also on a bed, more specifically she’s tied to down to a bed
She feels something entering her arm
Almost immediately she recognised that it was a needle
Kiarin started to panic
It's her turn again, How could she forget!?
She starts thrashing and screaming, attempting to break free
Someone calls out her name but she ignores it, completely focused on trying to escape
She didn't want to go through it again, she didn't want to feel like she burning up from the inside again
So she struggled
And as it would turn out, her struggle wasn't in vain as she managed to break her left arm free of its bindings
Immediately after she managed to break her arm free, her arm was pinned down by someone
Kiarin vaguely recognised that the person was the one calling her name as they continued to try and soothe her with their words while they held her down
She was overpowered by the person, she couldn't break free of their hold no matter how much she tried regardless she continued to struggle
Because she had to get out, NOW, she had to get Hua, Ana and Rei and then they needed to get Bella because Bella is being kept somewhere else
She had to GeT Her BaCk!
It was then that her captors managed to insert the needle into her right arm
She expected pain
She expected to suffer
She expected her insides to start burning once more
What she got
was
Sweet
Blissful
Nothingness
As her consciousness faded slowly to the realm of dreams
Sirin felt anger
She felt hatred
She felt rage
They hurt her so much
They took everything from her
And the worst part? She didn't even know WhY?
From the day that she was born, she had done NoThInG to deserve this
As such, she hates them
They were evil, each and every single one of them
And she despises them
She wants Justice
She wants ReVeNgE!
…
Her Prayers were answered by God
The power that filled her body was unrivaled
Aunt Theresa came to her aid
But she was too late, far too late to make a difference, her EmPtY words couldn't reach her
God's Voice guides her, grants her what she needed
And soon
She was unstoppable
Not even the TrAiToR could stop her
Her hatred and rage were deeply seeded
She felt amazing, incredible even
She had sent her servants to do her bidding
Humans, they were all at fault for her pain, none are innocent, they deserve everything she puts them through
Very quickly things became blur of bloodshed and violence
There was nothing left for her than this
Sirin will be Humanity’s end
Then that accursed Hua/ChEaTeR came and along with her, the BaStArD/Overseer and someone else she didn't recognise
That ChEaTeR manipulated Sirina’s mind with some StUpId pretty feathers, however god showed her the truth once more
Hua did something weird with her flames and god had protected her
Like cowards, Hua and the BaStArD ran, well, it's more that the BaStArD ran carrying with him a weakened Hua after she used her flames on her with the unknown girl staying behind in order to cover for them by fighting Siriana
The girl lasted longer than the others but she couldn't stop Siriana’s righteous rampage
Her life ended with one of Siriana’s lances piercing through her torso, why does it look like her body disappears when I look away?, WhY sHoUlD iT mAtTEr?, ShE iS dEaD! JuSt LiKe ThE rEsT oF tHeM!
It is now that Siriana realizes that ThE cHeAtEr took god’s guidance from her
That however did little to deter her
Next her parents were there and she used Hua’s pretty feather to trap them in an illusion
She intended to torture them with the illusion but ThE sTuPiD fEaThEr refused to listen to her and showed them scenarios that would grant them happiness and showed her so much warmth
In a moment of weakness Siriana wondered what it would be like, To be a part of a happy and normal family again
Suddenly she finds herself in the illusion with her parents
Her mother recognised her
She has a family again, she has everything she wanted to forget about
But not all good things last forever, especially if it’s fake, the illusion broke
They took Bella from her
Aunt Theresa was here once again, her abilities were scary, she made Kiarin feel powerless again
Thankfully it was useless, nothing could stop her
At least until her own father took her arm and immortality
It’S sO uNfAiR, so, so unfair
Kianan was fading and there's nothing she could do
She lost, she shouldn't have but she did
WhAt RiGhT dId ThEy HaVe tO sToP mE aFtEr WhAt ThEy dId To Me!
What kind of father would do something like that to his own daughter?
And very quickly, just like how it started,
her revenge came to an abrupt end
Her anger, her hate, her rage, her distain, her dark emotions that gave her so much power
Simply ceased and she wasn't in a state to even wonder why
Everything was hazy but Kiana knew that the flower field that she is in is perfectly real
Her mother, the second one, the one that's still alive, was there
Kiana was in her arms
It was warm, so very warm
She didn't care about anything else in the world, almost like everything that happened earlier didn't matter
The single moment she is sharing with her mother is worth far more than anything
The end was nigh, Kiana knew that
As the missiles came closer, one stray thought occurred in her mind
Her mother has a child, a daughter that is her own flesh and blood,
She had seen it in their shared dream after all…
Kiana couldn't take the child's mother from her,
Not when the child is much younger than when she had lost her own mother, the first one
Not that the age of the child mattered for what she's about to do…
So she mustered up all the energy she had left within her
“Ich liebe dich” she spoke softly to her mother
And pushed her through a portal that she summoned behind her with all the energy she had left
She saw that her mother’s eyes widened in surprise when she realized what Kiana was doing, or rather has done
In her fading mind, she only had one wish, she wished that she could become her mother’s daughter, her biological daughter, in her next life…
“Ki… na… Kian…”
