ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET: THE MOON II RABBIT

"I'm sorry but I won't let you do that, solve your problems on your own. Please don't involve myself and my son, I beg of you."

Mother widened her arms, wrapped around my body while locking her eyes on the shadow-eater floating in front of us.

The skull mask on the shadow-eater's face became slanted, with pieces from its cracks scattered.

Two branches appeared on the black lump under the skull mask, forming a hand with seven fingers. Then in one of his hands, a long scythe reappeared.

"You didn't help me? I asked you to be the bait for me. There are evil humans chasing me and you guys who are Spirits just like me, don't want to help me get rid of them?"

The shadow-eater turned his scythe with both hands, pointing it at us. The mother who had locked her gaze earlier, started to emit a bluish-white smoke that enveloped her body.

"You said Princess Moon, right? I've heard of him. It seemed that she was a human girl who possessed immense Spiritual Energy and defeated many high-level Spirits in various regions."

"Yes, a disgusting presumptuous human who possesses such a large Spiritual Energy must be annihilated. Its existence has great potential that threatens us Spirits. After knowing that, why don't you help us? Are you a traitor? Are you one of his followers?"

"It's a shame but I'm not his follower. It's just that I heard other news too. It mentioned that the Moon Princess would only attack the Spirits who attacked her. In other words, he himself had no intention of doing anything bad as long as he was not provoked."

"Huh? Lowly rabbit, what do you want to say?"

The smoke surrounding the mother's body had solidified, forming a form that was three times larger, with the appearance of a white-haired rabbit with three horns on its head.

It was the second form that mother had as a medium-level Spirit.

"In other words, it is you who bothers him first. Shadow-eater, go and leave us, I don't want any strife. It's better if everything's done peacefully."

"Peace, you say? You traitor, I will give you both the harshest punishment for siding with humans!!"

The shadow-eater let out a black smoke that instantly enveloped his body and with that shout, the twist on the scythe in his hand became even faster and fiercer.

"Feel this!!"

The shadow-eater darted towards us quickly, along with his scythe that was very ready to cut. But before he arrived, mother had already let out a burst of smoke that instantly filled a large area.

"uh? What'sthis?"

While I was filled with confusion, something wrapped around my stomach.

"Keika, listen to me carefully. When you are already a high-level Spirit, remember the main task you have to do. You must meet your father in the territory that only those who are high spirits can enter. You remember the name of the place in a story you've told before, right?"

"uh? Mommy?"

"I'm sorry mom, but it seems from here you have to work on your own strength. Do your best to live."

"A-What do you mean ... Hwah—!!!"

The twists on my stomach strengthened and once I realized it, my body was already above the high heavens. There was something enveloping my body and as I looked down, it coincided with the land I landed on.

Dump—!!!

A very violent clash ensued and with that, my consciousness disappeared.

____________________________________

Just as I came to my senses, several days had passed since my body was thrown. Looks like mom used her tail to throw me towards the other side of the mountain with her tail.

Waking up without my mother beside me filled me with anxiety and fear at that time, I immediately ran towards the cliff where the mother and shadow-eater were last seen.

But that doesn't mean the shadow-eater is free so easily, in fact there is so much damage that the shadow-eater can. In the end the shadow-eater was also exterminated by a human girl with white hair.

The mother and the shadow-eater were exterminated.

I really don't understand, why does all this have to happen?

Originally we were planning to take some yam to eat and get some sunflower stalks for barter but suddenly the shadow-eater came and attacked us because of the one-sided conclusion.

This is so absurd. Even I still doubt if all this is real? But the existence of a mother who has not already described everything.

This is not a dream, but reality. Since it had no choice but to accept it, I could do nothing but that.

In the end, those who were weak could only accept the fate they had obtained without being able to protest at it in the slightest. Those who have the right to do so are only those who have the power to do so.

And it's obvious that I don't belong to any of the Spirits that can do that. Being a high-level spirit? I've waited a long time since my mother left me but nothing has changed for me.

I'm still a low-level rabbit spirit that can't do anything.

The useless spirit.

That's my.

____________________________________

A few years passed quickly after that. I no longer care about anything but taking food and fruits.

And in those moments, the other forest spirits who had always seen me from afar began to approach. They started to bother me because of the absence of my mother who used to protect me from them.

The fruits that I took they snatched, the fish that I caught they seized and the vegetables that I cared for them were broken. I tried to fight but everything was in vain, those who were bothering me were medium-level Spirits.

As hard as it tries, a low-level Spirit like me will only be trampled. The power we have is simply not worth it.

In the midst of that, I began to realize how much existence I had to protect myself from these disturbing spirits. He must have tried so hard from what I've seen all along.

And thinking about that, it made me understand even more how useless I was. I even started to think that a life like this might go on forever without any change. Just keep letting myself be bullied without giving up resistance.

Until one day—

"You guys, get out of here. I'll forgive for the first time, but not the second time. Don't repeat it again. Don't open your mouth and answer with a nod, do you understand?"

—Until one day, I saw a human boy helping me.

From what I saw, the boy had a unique smell and most importantly, had an enormous Spiritual Energy on his body.

It reminds me of something in the past.

Moon princess?

Nope, no. The moon princess was a white haired girl. While the child in front of me is a man with black hair. The boy gave a look that had a frightening impression, what was he thinking?

The boy stretched out his hand to me.

"Are you okay? Your body looks a little chafed."

And because of the accumulated fear, I subconsciously jumped up, using his head as a foothold and sliding to hide inside the bushes.
