"This is the wall," Remira said, leaving a trail of broken bodies that were trying to crawl towards her with one thought in their mind.
To kill the last blood of the one-eyed wolf. That’s what drove them.
But they were too slow and incapable of doing anything, while the rest were being held down by Farhad, who seed to be enjoying himself from the vibrations in this place.
The wall that Remira now stood in front of was pretty similar to the ones before, with the only difference being it lted and the lack of a Daugr here, aning people frequented this place.
Not to ntion, if looking below, one can notice so traces of shifting, proof that this might just be a fake wall.
After the fact that she stood in a mausoleum with a dangerous beast, there was also a high chance that this wall would have traps or enemies that would be ready for her. Sothing dangerous that would eliminate her or the Daugrs before her easily, but nothing destructive enough to collapse this cave like a mausoleum.
’A bullet? Holy Water? Or a saw.’ There were various traps in her mind. And Remira was in no mood to face any of them. Picking up one of the Daugrs after cutting their arms so that they don’t flail around too much. She used them as her shield as she struck the hilt of her sword into the wall, causing cracks to appear.
"Again." She said, before striking again.
This was hard, she had used enough force to shatter the head of these Daugrs, but she could only cause a small crack on the wall. But this was not going to hold her.
She was close anyway. There is no need to keep up the act, and there is a high chance that the Doctor might be making his escape. So she could only use her full force at this point.
It was then that she chose to awaken a part of her bloodline, causing flas on her body to converge, taking the form of white fur.
She readied her weapon and then struck it like before, using its hilt like a hamr causing the wall to almost shatter.
"STOP!" It was then that she heard a voice, the voice of that accursed doctor that she had heard so many tis before. But this ti, it didn’t co from any speaker system, it ca right next to the wall. It was the voice of Dinesh, who appeared in Remira’s eyes for the first ti.
Having the sa face and voice as the one Remira t not too long ago. And although she could only see a part of his face, she wished to see more and she would not take no for an answer.
Ignoring his cries, she struck again, shattering the wall big enough that a young child could enter easily.
"I said stop... you don’t know what you are doing." He spoke again, but Remira was so close to her goal that she would only speak when the Doctor’s throat was in her grasp.
But before that, she had to make sure, this bastard didn’t run. So using the big hole she created, she took out her pistol and planned to shoot him in the leg. But this ti, it was soone else that called out. "Remira, you really grew up."
A voice that felt familiar but alien at the sa ti, it was a distant mory that felt fresh to her for so reason.
A dream, yes it was a dream where she heard this voice. A dream with a wolf and a tragedy she hated to recall. But she had faced it, she had seen the truth.
"So you still rember." The voice said as Remira heard her steps closing in on her from the other side of the broken wall. "I had hoped that you would forget about this place... why did you even co here." The woman said, showing so regret in her voice.
Which confused Remira.
Yeah, why was I so adamant about coming here?
Wasn’t there to find soone?
She recalled the dream with the One-eyed wolf, who had requested her to go back to her ho to find soone.
Soone very close to her, soone she considered lost all this ti. Soone who gave her life to protect her and seemingly died.
But no, she was alive, she was here and she was alive.
"Mother?" No, this can’t be real.
The dream, she can’t believe her dreams, she can’t be sure that her mind would be unhard after facing that wraith who called himself. He had a habit of twisting the mories of his victims and Remira could almost recall, that she had fallen into his trap long ago.
All of it was a dream, it can be false.
But the closer the steps got, the weaker her suspicion beca.
And when they finally reach the area, Remira can finally see the woman.
A face that she had forgotten surfaced in her eyes, the woman was much older than before, much calr and wiser as well. And although, she didn’t look the sa as the one in her surfaced mory. Remira knew it was her.
It was her mother.
"I had hoped we t in different circumstances, but you ca here too early." The woman said as she ordered the doctor to open the door.
Which surprised Remira. As the mont she had ascertained this was her mother, various thoughts had ford in her mind.
Her earlier thoughts were of her being a prisoner. Soone kept her against her will as the only survivor and facing who knows how many horrific kinds of experints.
And they only used her here in hopes she could stop the rampaging monster that Remira had turned into.
But to her surprise and the way the Doctor appeared subservient to her mother, things were a lot different than she had assud.
No, there was still a chance of mind manipulation. There was a chance this was not her mother, but sothing else. These people were working on resurrection and magic. How does one know what they might have achieved?
They might have created her puppet for the sa reason.
Various thoughts ca to her mind. But for the mont she chose to keep her hand and sheath her weapon as the doors opened.
"If you had signed, none of this would have been necessary. But considering you killed them, you are strong enough to learn the truth." The Doctor said, his voice still grating to her ears, but she didn’t do anything to him, just staring at her mother without losing a mont, morizing her face and aura in her mind.
Along with a sll that she hadn’t slled in a long ti.
Giving an illusion that she had given up.
But the mont the door opened, she shot. Her hand-made images as multiple rounds sounded out in the cave, startling the Doctor, who easily deflected the first two bullets, before the third one struck his magic shield, breaking it.
’Anti-magic.’
Remira had hidden the bullet among normal ones, confusing the doctor. Before using that mont of weakness to shorten her distance and then put her sword at his throat. "Thank you for showing my mother’s face, one last ti." She said as she looked toward the woman.
Who didn’t move an inch, looking at her "daughter" with so curiosity? "I am happy you maintain your suspicions to this point." She said as a doting mother before she gestured toward Remira. "Follow , I have a lot of things to talk to you about." She didn’t care about the Doctor, or it would be more appropriate to say the man in Remira’s hand was not a doctor, to begin with.
He just fell to the floor after the Professor left the scene. Sa as the one from before, this one was not real as well.
"What kind of magic is this?" Remira was confused.
’An undead using magic?’ In her eyes, this thing was dangerous, a remote-controlled body that can use magic must be a great tool for assassination. So what is soone capable of doing in this facility?
Is this really so doctor? Or just an act that would force one to put down their guard thinking he is so harmless Doctor?
Causing Remira’s face to twist with so anger, before she moved on from the scene.
This hallway was well-heated, there were lights and the wall would slowly drop down with each step.
That fake wall from before was not the only bar keeping the monsters away, there were so security asures done to this place.
"Who are you, really?" Remira asked. But the woman who claid to be her mother just smiled. "I have told you the truth, before marrying your father, I was Rajara Lake, daughter of Baron Lake. As for now, I go by Professor Lake, while abandoning my old na in fear of pursuit."
"Na three things I hid from you as a kid but you found out."
"I never thought of being under investigation from my own daughter." the woman sighed, looking a bit disappointed, but her eyes glead with so pride.
Her daughter was not as naive as she had thought her to be. But this also proved that her daughter had gone through so harsh adventures for her to beco like this.
"Let’s start with the most embarrassing one. I punished you for blaming your night accident on Jeremy."
"..."
"There is no need, I believe you for now." The mont Remira said these words the flas on her body disappeared, while she rushed from her position and hugged her mother from her back.
"I... I am sorry." She said as a tear flowed out of her eyes.
