Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

AN: Arabic. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

---------------------

Draven stands on top of a broken skyscraper, watching over where the half dragon had appeared before. Yet, nothing out of the ordinary had appeared.

However, the ordinary in that case was a bunch of alien creatures bullying a small group of dark armoured human knights.

In the middle of the human group a little girl, or rather a child, was being shielded.

The dark knights were doing all they could in order to protect her from the cruel creatures.

The little girl's pale complexion was filled with exhaustion, but not an ounce of fear or despair could be detected, even though they were obviously losing the battle.

Her silky long hair formed many shiny shades of crimson-purple as it hanged just a little bit under her knees. Even though her hair was a hybrid colour, bright crimson dominated the few locks that covered the left side of her face in style.

Her radiant golden eyes were like two ancient twin stars that were shining ever so brightly.

Even though she was so small, looking barely three years of old, she didn't openly cry at her situation, almost as if concerned about what effect that might have on the morale of the accompanying knights.

On top of her dominating air, she wore a determined expression, along with clothes that made her look like an esteemed princess.

She was covered in black stockings and a black blouse that ended in a high thick collar around her neck. On top of that, she wore a dark silver armour that formed a miniskirt on her front, and extended to cover just a little bit above her knees on the back side. The last touch included kneehigh black armoured boots.

Seeing the little girl, Draven couldn't help but feel a familiar warm sensation radiating through his body. He couldn't quite place it, but it's almost as if he knew who the little princess was. Almost.

A loud explosion sound knocked Draven out of his little trance as he realised that the kid was down on one knee, panting hard, yet her hands were now extended in front of her as a crimson energy dome like barrier covered the knights to protect them from the continuous assault.

Draven gritted his teeth in anger as his crimson eyes glowed in deep anger. He knew that the creatures had attacked this planet, possibly another Earth, for some reason. And although he didn't know what the objective of this trial was, he knew he wanted to protect that girl.

Everything about her kept screaming "Maya!" as the little girl was tanking the assault without much of a complaint. Even though apparently the knights were supposed to be the ones protecting the little child, they couldn't do much to withstand the attack without her. Just like Maya, she was being oppressed by these creatures, and those who were supposed to protect her, weren't of any help.

He remembered how he and Maria were the only family, and only protectors Maya has ever had. And so Draven jumped down, black armour covering him and great swords in hand.

Landing on what he'd judged to be the strongest enemy, he cut it without much resistance.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

One sonic explosion after the other and the creatures' numbers decreased drastically.

With the help of the knights and the little princess, he exterminated the last of them in less than five minutes.

Walking towards the little princess, Draven could see how exhausted she looked. Her pale skin was almost drained out of blood as she looked ready to faint any second now.

"Young prince!" the knights greeted with a bow as they made room for him to pass through to the young girl.

"Thank you, big brother," she said with such a weak smile that Draven was sure she's a second away from passing out. Yet the smile was as heartwarming as her comment was surprising. 'So she's my sister here?' he thought to himself, refraining from showing any hint surprise.

Placing his hand over her silky crimson-purple hair, he patted her head as he pulsed his mana through to her in order to replenish her reserves. Of course, he'd made sure to cleanse the mana from his own signature as not to alarm her body and make it accept the surging energy.

"You did well, little princess." he said with a dazzling smile that it was even possible the girl to blush in such a state she was in.

"Thank you." she replied while looking down in embarrassment as her colour returned to normal. Maybe just a little bit too red for normal.

"Knights, setrip!" Draven commanded.

But before anyone could say a single words, a huge shadow covered the group as a huge monstrous cry almost damaged their eardrums.

Looking behind him at the sky, Draven could see a huge monster looking down on them.

However, to his surprise, it wasn't the white dragon, but a black furred giant. Draven guessed that the creature would be the result of mixing a bat and a bull in some huge fusion machine, if something like that even existed.

The giant had a bull's head that almost touched the outer layers of the atmosphere.

On it's huge forehead, Draven could faintly see the glow of a five-pointed star that was trapped in two separate circles.

Two pairs of bat wings of matching size covered its back, as the bottom half was also missing like that of the half dragon, or rather converted into a jinn's tail.

'After a second thought, that thing looks like a devil,' Draven thought as he readied his weapons. 'His upside down horns sure support that guess.'

He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do as this trial have been proving to be more impossible the more time he spends in it.

Seeing what he was trying to do, the small princess grabbed his right hand and lowered it down gently, shaking her head she said "Normal methods will have no effect against it," she gestured towards the creature with a sad smile.

Looking up and closing her eyes, she released her brothe's hand while her mana flared violent blinding white as she was about to do something Draven had no way of expecting.

The same couldn't be said for the dark knights though. "Young princess, please stop! We both know that the moment you release it, your soul will be forfeited forever!"

"I'm sorry Darius, but it's my destiny, after all." she said with a sad smile, to the man who seemed to be the captain of the knights.

The captain seemed to quiet down at that, he's always been told that one way or another, the princess was destined to die at the hand of that monster that's trapped in her. It was her role that she's made peace with, and he had no place in arguing against her.

This time however it was Draven's turn to stop her. He patted her head as he started to think of a plan to solve the 'huge dilemma' in front of him, or rather kill it.

The little girl was surprised, but she didn't say anything, nor did she remove her brothers hand, as she found it comforting.

"Say, little princess," Draven said as he stared at the monster that was now charging up a small black orb that resembled an expanding black hole. "You were trying to summon that white half dragon, no?"

Seeing the surprise in her eyes was enough for him to take it as a yes. "Right then," he sad to the little girl, "do you think you'll be able to channel that white energy through me?"

The little princess was so confused that her brother knew of the silver dragon that was sealed in her body, it was supposed to be something only her mom and dad, the king and queen, and very few other officials such as the knight's captain knew of. But she dismissed it as another one of her brother's little stunts.

"It's too dangerous." she shook her head. Everyone knew the young prince was especially powerful and cunning, but what he said now was just pure nonsense to her.

"If you don't, we'll all die anyway. Not that I don't believe in destiny, but I believe it's not something that can control your actions. What you called your destiny before would just destroy everything and everyone here. And I'd rather have a chance at saving the young princess and everyone else, rather than throw it all under the bus and call it fate"

The girl was so shocked at what her brother just said, that she forgot all of her etiquette classes as her mouth hanged open.

Not that she didn't like her brother, it's just that normally he wouldn't ever agree with her, let alone even treating her nicely.

He was older than her and his words were an order. The only reason she thought of disapproving this time was because she liked him. Even though he used to always ignore her existence, and if anything, treat her like a servant rather than a sister, she couldn't live a life where he doesn't exist.

But the young man in front of her was so different that it was hard to believe they both were the same person. He was so different... so loving.

"But big brother I can't let you face that thing alone." she understood that her brother wanted to combine forces with her to attack that giant, yet she could only see his plan failing.

The only two possible outcomes were him destroying the demon monster which then leaves her silver dragon to take control of her brother's soul, killing him instantly and possibly destroying everything.

Or, him just failing from the start, not being able to control the dragon which would lead to a horrible defeate against the demon monster. The monster then would destroy the planet.

Both options would end up in his death and the planet's annihilation.

"My soul is mine and mine alone, the dragon can't take a hold of it, and even if it does, I can still just kill both of us. That was always the plan." she smiled sadly as the black hole kept expanding with its pull energy increasing multiple times in a row.

"Just have faith in your big bro, lil sis," Draven said with a charming smile, as he kneeled besides her and patted her head gently.

The little princess was taken aback, it was the first time her brother had called her 'lil sis' with such sincerity, and she liked the sound of it. It was the most heart warming thing she's ever heard anyone say, in a long while, and she was only a three year old.

"Uhm," she nodded as she embraced her brother warmly, "promise... promise you'll be back the moment you deal with it. Never leave me alone, please." she said as warm tears filled her golden eyes, making them shine with more vigor.

"Ah" he nodded, "that's a promise big bro will never break." Draven said as he stood up, looking the giant creature in the eyes.

It didn't last a few seconds for the little girl to get a hold of herself. She did as Draven had suggested.

The ground shook and fissures broke as 8 huge magic circles materialised above the party, they were so blinding that the party had to close their eyes. And the air became so dense from the accumulated energy that it was hard to breath.

Not a moment after their appearance, Draven could see them rotate in what looked like a password combination. One by one, the massive white magic circles

He was surprised, almost shocked by the amount of energy the tiny body of the girl besides him possessed. Also, he'd noticed a second presence in his body that was getting stronger with each passing second.

White aura flared and fought her way out of Draven's natural red aura.

'To think that the soul weavers have gone mad as to entrust my powers onto such a fragile soul,' a deep voice rang in Draven's head, he knew this was the dragon's voice.

However it only made Draven smile sadistically, 'we meet again you b*stard, I came to repay you for the past 17 times you killed me and destroyed this planet, b*tch.' he said with a cruel chuckle.

Jumping away from the knights and his little sister, after patting her head one last time of course, he let his red aura flare the moment he was sure they'd be safe.

His crimson eyes shown with such rage, that made the dragon gasp for air, even though a soul doesn't need to breath.

It wasn't the flaming rage that would burn everything to ashes, but rather the calm rage, like the deep ocean that would swallow anything and everything that comes in its path.

'I don't know why... but you, I remember your white a*s... we've met before, in real life..' Draven's red aura swallowed that of the white dragon as it formed a second huge monster that stood on par with the demon monster.
