The Search for Freedom

After killing the speedy man, I realized that being quick in every movement could make my mission be done quickly too. That kind of power was what I was attempting to master in the days that followed. With the help of my vision, it became easier than I thought. I could then move quickly like a speedy man. But it didn't mean that I could easily master this technique, as if I couldn't control this power, it might bring me into danger.

I and Alicia were currently strolling anywhere, taking the road, which seemed endless. We seemed to be free from the curses, because we didn't mind anything. Meanwhile, I was also practicing some dark magic while taking a quiet road, as I used to grow a hundred plants around.

"Are you not tired of spreading plants anywhere?" Alicia asked.

"Of course I'm not, look! I cannot be tired anymore!" I replied.

"I know you cannot be tired easily, but I also know that your patience won't last longer. I noticed you can now move faster like the speedy man. I just want to ask if 'are you ready to fight the fourth person?"

"Of course. I'm always ready like a girl scout. Let's not make this longer, I'm really eager to take my freedom. I don't want to be caged by this curse and kill millions of people."

"If that so, we shall go to that person, but before that, you must know something, about her power and weakness."

"So, that person was a girl or a woman?" I asked. "Tell me everything I needed to know in order to defeat her."

"Yeah, she's a girl. A girl who looked like weak at first, but if you will know her power, you will shout that she's indeed strong."

"Uh-huh. That's exciting. Please tell me more."

"She had the power which came from her fan," Alicia responded.

"What do you mean? What kind of power?"

"The power of whirlwind. She can make whirlwind through her fan, and that's the reason how she got a sobriquet 'fan girl"."

"Wow! That's cool..." I complimented with amazement.

"She's cool, but put in your mind that she's an enemy. You might amazed of what she can do, but please don't plan to idolized a foe, because she was already destined to fight you, not to be your friends." "Okay, is there anything else I need to know about her?"

"Nothing else, if you already know her weakness."

"Of course!" I interjected. "If her power came from her fan, then I must take her fan away, so that she will be totally became weak, as her looks."

"Clever! Are you now ready to fight her?" She asked.

"Very ready! Let's go!" I held Alicia's hand.

After a blink of an eye, we appeared at the other place. This place was cool too, because the breezes whispered wildly. It was surprising that the breezes weren't coming from nature; they had their own source.

We saw a girl standing ahead. She was wearing a bluish-white shirt and a miniskirt. Her hair was tied into two portions, swinging as the wind that came from her fan blew. She was really cool! Her attire, power, and appearance suit each other's. She seemed to be in the movie I had watched because the wind was whirling around her, though it was a normal gas which could not be seen, but could be felt.

Alicia was telling the truth. When the girl turned back, I saw she looked weak and frail. Through her looks, I remembered my father's words. As what he was always saying, "someone cannot be judged through their appearance." Therefore, I must look at them from another angle to see something unique on them. From what I noticed, she had a unique power that I wished to have too.

"Let's follow her, but don't be obvious," Alicia ordered.

"I know that, don't worry, because she cannot notice that we're following her, do you remembered when you taught me how to walk like there was another place you wanted to go and not towards the exact person with your real intentions?" I asked.

"That was just when you killed the speedy man, how can I forgot that so easily. If you thought that I'm experiencing an Alzheimer's disease, then you are wrong. I'm already a spirit, and spirits don't have body which feel pain or can get any diseases," Alicia replied.

"I know, but do you remembered when you said you don't know what used to tell me something that I could performed magic so easily?" I asked.

"Did I said that? I knew it was the power of your vision."

"You're asking me, so you mean you had forgotten?"

"Of course I don't, but that was just a question, and you know that sometimes we still asked though we already know the answer of what we are asking for, right Kaila?" Alicia asked.

"You had a point, sometimes I'm also asking about something though I already knew its answer, maybe that's our instincts; there are some questions that would directly came out from our lips without thinking about them?" I interrogated. "Clever, that's what exactly I mean. Unfortunately, we must not talk about this thing right now, because your enemy had stopped there."

Alicia pouted her index finger at the spot where the fan girl stopped. O my gosh! I hoped I was wrong to what I was thinking. This could not happen, we might lost the opportunity if she noticed us following her. "What do you think she's doing now?" I queried.

"I don't know, maybe stop from strolling around?" Alicia guessed.

"But why we won't go near and end her life? She might be lost in our sight if we will let her continued walking."

"Don't you see she's surrounded by her power? We cannot enter in that shield without her consent, so we must observe and find a new angle in which we can kill her," Alicia explained.

"You're so powerful to say that. I know you can drop her in just a flip of your finger, so why won't you flip her and we won't need to fight and exert strength in killing her? It will be easier for me to end her life if she's already dropped down," I suggested.

"You mistook my capability, Kaila, sometimes my power doesn't work, you know that, everything has a limit, and so it has. Now you know the reason why I needed someone's help. I taught you magic, so that you can help me in times if my power won't work," Alicia replied.

"We can do nothing about that. We shall do something to take her fan, and the shield that surrounds her will be also gone," I told her.

"Or we can also wait until she will put her fan down. We are both tireless, we can wait even years, but she cannot do that."

"What kind of life I had, my time always wasted in waiting."

"Stop complaining Kaila, I know that even you would waste your years, you still have many years left to live, but that life of yours will be torn if you cannot get rid of the curse," Alicia reminded. "Huh? What do you mean?"
