Travis was faintly breathing. This utter defeat. Even when he used everything he had, was it not enough?
The gruesome fights, the training, the shattering of his limits. Was it all for naught?
He watched as Akiol approached him. Travis no longer had the strength to resist, instead he closed his eyes, "Finish me off. You deserve the reward."
Akiol watched him with an amused expression, "I understand where you come from. You truly are the victim of this whole scenario. I can honestly sympathize with your point. I've been in a situation like this before. However slaughtering those responsible—those who are too fearful to stand up for themselves—it's not the right choice."
"What is the right choice then?"
"Doing nothing, they will come to a realization themselves. You opened the door to a new future, you do not need to guide them through it."
"Stop speaking in riddles and end it already."
