(Flashback)

Two years ago:

Eivana's eyes narrowed as she stood in front of her younger sister Erienne, between her and a gang of twelve thugs, who were slowly backing the pair into an alley. She wasn't afraid for her own well being - rather, she didn't want her younger sister to get hurt badly in any way. The men advanced forward slowly, sick smiles on their face, glad to have cornered a pair of pretty girls, who looked like rich nobles.

"Well well, what do we have here? A pair of maidens with no protection? Are the swords you carry only for show? Haha, let's have some fun, alright? Then you'll pay us for our services!" grinned the lead thug, as he drew a scimitar like sword, advancing on the girls, who had backed into a dead end.

Erienne shouted "I will get my dad to take revenge on you ... he's the Ca ..."

Eivana had clamped her hand on her sister's mouth, shaking her head. She knew that if she was alone, the thugs wouldn't havve much chance against her, but her sister was a burden for the fight - she was an easy target, and also this precluded the use off all sorts of chaining lightning skills.

"Oh, daughter of who? Does it matter? By the time we are finished with you, he's not going to come!" roared the head thug, as he closed in. Erienne struggled free of her sister, and decided to punch the man in the face, causing him to stagger back.

"Boys! Get them! I will not stand for such a slight!" shouted the leader of the thugs, as they rushed forward. Eivana, despite being a sorceress, drew her sword, the blade leaving its sheathe in a flash of silver light, as she parried three incoming blows, pushing back her opponents, before she leapt back to protect her sister, who had collapsed to the floor in fear.

It wasn't hard for the thugs to figure out a counter, though. Eivana couldn't move that fast, so they split up, one half locking her in combat, the other half going for Erienne. Eivana obviously gave in and lunged to protect the sister, allowing multiple blows to hit her, bringing her down quickly. And then the beatings began, as both girls were mercilessly kicked and punched by the twelve men.

A high, clear voice permeated the air, causing the men to look up, as they recoiled back instinctively. A hooded girl stood on the back wall of the alley, her long white hair spilling out of her hooded cloak, which was long and black. She had simply said "get away from the two ladies, or you all will die today. I mean it."

"It's just one of you against twelve of us. Who are you to threaten us? It's all empty bluster to make us run away. You think you are very scary, girl? What more can you offer than this two?" said the leader, as all the thugs drew their swords and cleavers. Their confidence had returned.

"I am the second daughter of Caller of the Sky's Wrath, Ryner Aesion. I am known as The Seeking Shadow of Death, Elysia Aesion. If you know what's good for you, you wil; run. because I am not threatening you. I am merely stating a fact" said the girl, as she pulled her hood back, to reveal her face  (Somewhat, her expression is probably closer tothis ).

"Huh, another one talking about there dad. Let's continue, she's a coward who will run" said one of the thugs, as he stepped forward to harass the two badly beaten girls, who had both looked up at Elysia, with an expression that spoke more of "what the fuck!?" than "please save us". They also simultaneously echoed one word "sister!?"

A split second later, a shiny black dagger connected to a cord slammed into the enroaching thug's left shoulder, before the girl pulled sideways sharply, slamming the man into one of the sidewalls extremely hard, so much so a crunch of shattering right shoulder could be heard. Then the dagger pulled back out, into the left hand of Elysia, who looked down with disdain.

The thugs didn't know fear, as they decided to simply slaughter the Eivana and Eirienne before taking their chances with the newly arrived Elysia - a pair of them ran forward, only to be stopped when a shining pair of ornate wakizashis flew forth from Elysia's rapidly moving hands, impaling both men through their necks. Elysia leapt down and pulled both swords free in reverse grip, as she frowned further and charged into the 9 remaining men.

No matter what they did, the thugs were unable to break through Elysia's practically flawless defense and offense, as her dual wakizashis cut beautiful silvery crescents around her, reflecting the moonlight, as she blocked and dodged all manners of vertical, horizontal and diagonal slashes. Of course, the thugs thought they had a plan again, as two broke off to finish the girls, while the other seven would keep Elysia occupied.

The two men didn't make it to the girls, as Elysia slid between the legs of one of her attackers, as all of them brought their swords down simultaneously. She threw her weapons at the two going for her sisters, which went through the men's spines and hearts from the back, before she turned and drew her longsword (looks likethis ) and turned in a smooth motion. Her legs and sword had electrified, and Elysia's eyes seemed to have focused.

The first thug coming for her was slashed across his abdomen, his organs spilling out in a fatal cascade before he could even bring his sword down, as Elysia dashed past him at incredible speed, her sharp sword slicing bone and flesh like it was paper. Elysia then brought her sword up in a smooth motion to block a diagonal slash, spinning her blade around the enemy's, letting go if it temporarily, as she regained a reverse grip and took the man's head in one slash. Eivana and Eirenne looked at their sister in awe, not knowing the kind, gentle girl who was quite airheaded and silly sometimes at home was capable of such killing.

The third man tried to rush in for a stab, but Elysia leapt over him cleanly, as she pushed her sword through his back, flipping her hand and pulling it out in a conventional grip, just in time to parry two blades that cut shiny arcs through the air, swung downwards in a concerted effort by a pair of thugs.

Elysia's knuckles tightened and a powerful electric charge sped down her blade, as the two thugs were electrocuted from parrying her attack. Then she spun, using magnetism to keep the thug's swords stuck to her blade, as she released them at the remaining two who had decided to run - the flying swords decapitated them before embedding into a wall. In a smooth motion, Elysia's blade had returned to her sheathe, and she walked over to check on her sisters.

The first thug who had smashed into the wall got up to rush Elysia, thinking she was unaware. He was repaid in kind by Elysia turning and sticking out her right hand, palm open, as black threads pulled out of his body, causing him to scream in pain, as his body blackened and shriveled up.

"You two ok?" asked Elysia as she knelt down beside her sisters. She had not even suffered a single scratch.

"We ... we'll be fine" sighed Eivana tiredly, before she tried to comfort a crying Erienne, who was so afraid and sad that she could only cry and shiver, with her ability for speech and coherent thought lost. She had made it a point to cast healing when the thugs were distracted.

Elysia wiped off her sister's tears, and gently said, after smiling "Erienne ... today is a bad day ... but take it as a lesson - learn to protect yourself and big sis, ok? You are powerful ... you just don't know it."

Erienne smiled through her tears and nodded.

Present day:

Erienne focused on the training dummy in her house, her blade whirling around at ridiculous speeds, as she cut ever faster and more powerfully with every strike - she had trained relentlessly for two years, and wanted to never be put in a situation where she was a burden ever again.
