I was drowning ,i could not breath ,memories of my loved ones flash before my eyes
"am i dying?"
As i was accepting my fate, a cold hands pull out to me ,hug me and said
"dont worrie i am here"
Everthing went blank again ,i open my eyes and saw a stone ceiling and recalled what happened.
"Ah i was in a cave "
i tried to move my body and suddenly remembered my right arm , I quickly turn my head towards it ...i was shock ,my arm was gone and was replaced by an ancient looking iron arm with yellow vain which i assume to be magic.
A sudden noice cought my attention from the darkness,a voice rang out -
"your awake "
A beautifull girl walks out of the darkness,her eyes were golden yellow as well as her hair .
I was stunned by her beauty but quickly come to my sense and ask her-
"who are you ,are you the one who fix my arm"
she replied with a soft but tired voice
"yes,im sorry ,iron was the only material in the cave i could work with"
I was filled with question but most of all i was glad about what she did to my arm ,so I replied with a calm voice-
"oh actually thats amazing,how did you do that?"
Her eyes lit up and she answered with a pround voice-
"i am the queen of the ancient forest Alice ,i can control all natural material ,thats how i was able to fix your arm "
She stops for a bit with a saddened face and continued-
"Thats all i am able to do even though you save my life"
I answered in shock -
"Queen? Save your life eeh are you that annoying fairy i saved"
Her expression change to a serious face and said-
"listen here you punk i just save your life you should be more polite to me!...ahems anyway who are you"
supressing my laughter i replied-
"oh i havent introduce myself have i,i am hirata kojo nice to meet you alice"
As i try to shake her hands i felt a sharp pain in the right arm-
"aaah"
She rush toward me saying-
"dont move ,your arm is not fully completed as there is no magic in your body"
"magic?"
I said looking confuse.
Alice"previously I assumed ur a fallen by your dress and head towards you for help , but i guess your not one of the fallen"
I fix my position and ask with an intrested face-
"Fallen ,who are they"
She look a little surprise and answered-
"you dont know who they are?you must be living under a rock"
annoyed at her way of speech-
"you dont talk like a queen at all ,are you even a real one"
She replied with an angry yet proud tone-
"you brat i am the queen of the ancient forest,they fear me for my power and those enter my forest never come out alive "
She said with a big smirk on her face.i replied with an unconvienced voice-
"oh is that so then why were you running from a mere wolf?
She rolled her eyes in embarressment look the other way-
"aaaah that was because aaah i spare his life yeah im a kind hearted queen after all"
It was clear as day that she made that up,I look at her straight at her eyes -
"is that sooo"
Facing enough preasure,she took a deep breath and replied with a low voice-
"okok ill tell you,i can control all natural things but cannot hurt anything thats natural"
Shocked at the condition of her ability i answered-
"whats the point in that"
She removed her saddened face and replied with a calm yet royalty like voice-
"thats just how the queen of the ancient forest is suppose to be"
I began to respect her and at the very moment i tried to praise her,she look at me with a smirk and said-
"hey your the one who does not have a single magic in your body,you dont get to talk to me like that"
--------------- Only one thought was going through my mind-
"i regret even respecting her for a moment"
i suddenly remember the curse that was put to me by the higher beings and speak out-
"about my body not having any magic,i think im cursed"
Her smirk vanish and was filled with confusion-
"huh?"
I told her about my story and how i was cursed by the 4 beings,she looks shocked and ask-
"you have been cursed by the four heavenly Rulers!!"
I replied calmy -
"thats what they are called huh"
She look shocked at my expression and replied -
"how are you so calm,a curse to not be able to use magic ? Thats the worst"
I thought to myself that i cant use magic in the first place in my old world so why wil be able to use it now ,i suddenly remember the other thing they said-
"i was also cursed to Meet the seven deadly sins,i dont know what they are though"
She looks even more shock but take a deep breath and answered-
"they are 7 kings that oppose the heavenly rulers ,they have been at war for more than 1000 years,the fallen are strong warriors summon by the heavenly rulers but as for you i cant really call you a fallen"
She continued with a serious voice-
"you cant use magic which is essential for everday life ,even normal people have small amount of magic energy ,the seven sins will definitely target you cause of the curse ,this is bad if you cant use magic you wont be able to fight back against the 7 kings let alone their army"
I clench my fist infustration and said-
"so i cant do anything?just sit back and wait for them to kill me huh"
I looked down at my iron hand,thinking back at my past life and how the situation has change,i pitied myself.
Alice stand still,not knowing how to comfort me,but the situation change when a suddenly roar echos around the cave ,i look up towards alice ,she seems fustrated and talk in a serious voice-
"did they followed my scent when i went out for water"
the sound of several beast running towards our place echos ,she starts to chant a spell-
"obey my command ,raise from the ground roots of malenia"
suddenly the earth below us shake and giant roots emerges and block the pathway.
The beast began to destroy the root but alice keep repairing it with her magic but she does not seem fine.
"dame it ,i use too many magic building your hands"
She said with a fustrated voice ,the next second her nose starts bleeding,fustrated i ask is there anything we could do,there was no answer ,not giving up i look around and remember the crack we used to get in but when i look through it ,the wolf were still present on the otherside.
The casting stops,her hands tremble due too extream use of magic and with all her remaining magic she create a small hole
"get in hirata ,ill distract them"
Knowing what she means i refuse to do it and said "not without you"
She smiles with a calm face and said-
"dont be a fool and go hide ,i may die here but im a godess i can be reborn,but well you will no longer be alive to see me then"
"huh a go-"
I was suddenly pulled by a root,she forcefully put me in the hole with her magic and seal it ,the beast destroyed a small hole in the root wall and 1 manage to get in,she create a natural sword out of thin air and begin to fight with the beast.
Stuck inside the hole i feel fustrated and hit the wall trying to free myself but it was no use,with a fustrated voice i said-
"dame it why am i so weak "and continue to punch the wall-
"if only i have been stronger"starts to tear up
and the 4 being flashes in my mind.
"its all because of those 4 bastards ,i swear ill take revenge"i shout out with rage....suddenly the same voice in my dream spoke to me
"Ill help you with that"
I was shock by the voice but i didnt care ,there only one thing i want at the moment save alice ,so begged to the voice-
"i dont know who you are but please save alice,ill do anything"
The next second everything went silent.
a mysterious figure smiles*
Everthing went black

I regain consiousness ,i was standing in a pool of blood ,animal parts all over the floor and my iron arm cracked and blood all over it ,i suddenly fell to my knees ,i could not move ,every part of my body was in pain ,then i suddenly remember alice ,scare that she might be hurt i look around and there she was in the corner,filled with blood and from her eyes i can tell she was scared.
My vision began to blur as i try to reach towards her,but the word she spoke out was not what i expect-
"who are you"
