-Break-
Feeliremely fuzzy, I hear, “Don’t worry Ahmed, we will get out of here soon.”
“Just rest up my king, we won’t allow ao hurt you.”
“Easifatan is here to keep you safe!”
Opening my eyes, I see that my shoulder is slung over Adi's shoulder as he carries me down a hallway.
Still weak and dizzy, I ask, “What are you guys doing?”
Scheherazade says, “Getting you as far away as we .”
“No way will we let you die here.”
Holding up my right hand, I say, “I ’t feel anyone’s location it seems that my s have all beeivated. I have lost.”
“You lost nothing.”
“As long as you live, we will have won.”
“Where is Naji?”
Easifatan says, “He isn’t with us anymore.”
“Did they kill him?”
“He died from over exhaustion, it seems like he pushed himself too far, but don’t worry my king he had a rather happy look on his face.”
L my head, I say, “I see, so you got to go peacefully Naji.”
Suddenly I hear a roar reverberate from behind us, then I hear Adi say, “He’s here!”
Notig that roar I turn around and see Cyrus with blood dripping from not only his eye but his entire body, there is no way he should be standing. But one look at his fad you instantly realize how he mahis: pure rage.
“ADI RUN,” Easifatan says as he pulls out a lighting dagger. Scheherazade follows close behind him with a curved sword.
“WAIT!” I shout as Adi speeds up. “Adi let me ght now, he is after me.”
“I ’t do such a thing, my king.”
“Why are you guys doing this, my life isn’t worth it.”
Laughing a bit, Adi says, “Ba the day you saved me and my sister you had just lost your brother due to our as, yet you never held it against us. Instead, you saved us, cared for us, and loved us. You became family to us.
If my sister died, I would have broken into to pieces, but you were strong and fiving, you surpassed what any normal person would do and made sure t happio all the people. You truly are great my king, someone I would happily die for.”
On my left side, I see Cyrus appear out of nowhere and smack me and Adi into a wall with his tail.
Rec from the blow I look down the hall where I see both Easifatan and Scheherazade on the floor injured.
“Run my king!” Adi shouts as he runs toward Cyrus.
With a fierce grip, Cyrus grabs his fad sms him right down into the ground.
“ADI!”
Walking up to me id up against the wall, Cyrus grabs me with his tail and holds me up against the wall. “Kill me if you must, but please leave them alone.”
Holding his sword up he screams, “DIE!” Then swings his sword towards me.
Closing my eyes, I wait to be killed but the sword never hit me. Opening my eyes, I see Orb holding the sword.
Φ Grabbing Cyrus close I give him a hug and say, “Please just rest now, any more movement and your body will give out.”
Cyrus starts to scream, but I start gently caressing his bad say, “If you die it will make your sister's sacrifice pointless, so please leave the rest to me.”
After a few seds, Cyrus releases Ahmed, and then his body goes limp in my arms. Laying him down on the floor I fall to my knees in pain, the sailsai judgement attack is still making my body hurt, it hasn’t left.
Looking over towards Ahmed, I say, “Are the s off Raqiue?”
“Your st attaocked me out, so all my s are gone.”
Under my breath, I say, “Thank god.”
Φ “Hey Orb, I once had an older brother.” Hearing this Orb turns his face towards me, so I say, “My brother was an amazing person, who stood for the people. He was a hero who lived a righteous life, but he died in such a horrible way.
He was tortured and his body was mutited, he lived such a righteous life but died in such a pitiful way, and the st words he said were; I don’t want to die.
Ever sihen, I have always wondered, did he break? Did he stop being himself? Did he die full of hollow despair? And if he had died before such a catastrophe befell him, would he have been happier?
And I have always known that people could ge, I am well aware that I am not the foolish child I once was, but in the process of ging horrible people like me rob the world of such good people. I am different now but because it took me so long to ge my brother’s life was ripped off this p, and the thought of what my brother could aplish breaks me down each day.
I have ged as you say but all I am left with is regrets, and Orb for years now my soul has been nearly identical to a demon. So, with this dammed life of mine, I tried t people the happiness my brother would have brought them, and if I couldn’t give it to them in this world, I gave them certainty in the . But I would never allow them to bee a monster ret like me.”
Activating my legacy, with the strength I have left, I say, “So tell me Orb the path you choose truly bring happio more people, because if you ’t I will make sure to end you both here.”
Looking down towards the floor, Orb says, “The man who made me believe in su ideal, was named Captivant. He was the first person I ever meet and raised me. He was a wonderful person who lived aing and fruitful life, and when he died he was shown like a star in the sky.
But the reason he shined sht wasn’t because he died peacefully in the bed, or the fact that he died with someone who cared for him, but it was the life he lived that allowed him to shine sht.
I didn’t bee inspired by the person he was when he died, but everything that formed that person, and that is the reason he was able to shine shtly. I am sure even if he died a horrific death that same shine would be there because death doesn’t ge what Capti was.”
Seeing rit in paio my sailsai judgement, I hear him say, “I know how you feel regret in all your as, and so do I. No matter what a I do I always seem to hurt somebody, I simply ever just save everybody, and make them all happy. So, I don’t know what as make everyone happy, whether your method is truly wrong, or even if ge really does bring suever-endi.
But I do know that everyone shine just like Capti, and I will alick the path that makes everyone like him because I am sure that is where the greatest happihat anyone ever grasp is there.”
Falling to the ground in pain, Orb says with a kind smile, “I also say this, if I died to reach my goal, I would be happy, especially if I got to save someone I love.”
The smile Orb is making feels nostalgic, I have seen it somewhere before but where?
Suddenly an image appears in my mind, one of long ago it was the day my brother died. It was the moment after he said he didn’t want to die.
I was held in front of him and stared into his horrible, mutited face, it was such a disgusting se that my mind got all fuzzy. But as the sword went close to his neck, he stared right at me. And even in such a state, he smiled right before his head flew off.
Realizing this tears fall from my eyes, and I hold my ring in my hand and then say, “You know you have left me with even mrets.”
Smiling he says, “I am sure you get past it all, that’s just how amazing your stars are.” Orb in front of me starts to close his eyes, and moments ter I do as well.
-Break-
Φ Opening my eye, I look around the room. It is very simir to the room I woke up in this m. I try to move around but am struck with incredible pain.
Looking down I see my body is heavily bandaged up, making it hard to move, but I still mao sit up on the bed, and when I do I see one of Avram’s people; Ghehe.
He then screams, “CYRUS IS AWAKE!” Down the hallway.
Instantly this scream wakes me up, then I try to get up and move off the bed. But uo do so I fall to the floor.
Running up to me Ghehe says, “What are you doing Cyrus.”
“I O FIND THAT BASTARD.”
“I am sorry, but you won’t be able to do that Cyrus.”
“WHY’S THAT!”
“Because both you and Orb have been in as for the st six months.”
Shocked I say, “What!?”
