The hole was completely dark apart from a circle just under the hole. It didn't look very profound. Estimated to 6 meter or more.
So He didn't fall for long . Once on the ground he stood up and looked up. Their were watching some grinning some with a mask of silence.
Just at moment something change, hundreds of red eyes appeared in the cave. Eyes that in the darkness were shining announcing a massacre.
HE looked at the eyes and then looked up again
This exasperated the bracelet girl
"What do you have something to say now? Or that are you asking for help ? He he i have an idea why don't you take this and try struggling until you die? While saying that she grabbed one of the assassin daggers and threw it in the hole.
"Hey why did you do that? " she was clearly angry
"Relax it's for fun and weren't you the one who spoke with him? Don't you want to help him?"
These words didn't induce any changes in her expression as if it wasn't addressed to her
"It was precious " she said simply
Just then the altar start shining and a ring with a brilliant red eyed crane appears on it.
"Look like The sacrifice was accepted . Oh I almost forgot what about the girl who accompanied him this morning? "
This question made the leader smile as if he was waiting for someone to ask this question
"You know that when I asked her for someone I specified I wanted a Canon fodder, a sacrifice. And she proposed him saying that her dad wanted to get rid of him. They took him in because they thought he was unordinary . Turn out he is just a waste who can't awaken. Ah ah ah a worthless nobody "
At his words they all start laughing except the assassin.
"Let's go I feel staying in here more will whield bad luck "
And so they start heading back to the city. But they didn't know, they couldn't possibly know that what they did today concerned more than they could fantom.
In the cave inside the hole the boy was watching the knife.
Should he take it and try all he can to struggle for survival? But for that ?
He didn't speak because he didn't have anything to say?
For what reason should he do his best to survive? Family? He had no recollection of such a thing? Love ? For who? Zari? He knew she wasn't worth it? For himself? But he didn't even know who HE was.
The eyes in the darkness didn't really seem to want to be camera they start advancing towards him.
The boy was here and the knife in front of him. So close yet so far.
He lacked the resolve to take this knife
The danger was coming more and more close.
Then it dawned to him
If the mind can't do it then leave it to the body
And so the body took the stage
A rush of adrenalin is all it took. One of the most primitive sense that every living being has took the control
The instinct of survival
His body jumped on the dagger and took a stance on his own as if to say 'mind you are lost? Then leave it to me' I will make us survive.
But the mind seemed to retort 'but why?Why survive '
And the body simply " why not?"
The collision happened hundreds of hungry beast likes thing start pouring on them.
And the dance for survival begun
Ignoring all bleeding and harm the body start slaughtering the enemy
All things seemed to fade leaving only obstacles on the way to the door of survival.
1...2....3....10...20.....30.....40....47
The adrenaline effects had started to fade. This was as long as the body
Could do alone. It looks like the obstacles surpassed him.
The body alone had lost. He could only apologize to the mind. Here lying exhausted broken.while the beasts swarm him.
And then the mind said that it wasn't bad. The obstacles was over their capabilites.
There when all else failed and all hope were lost. A part of him that we all have but tend to forgot made his move , a tiny little move. A sentence appears in his mind without his consent
IS THAT REALLY IT?
It was his subconscious
Yes it's it
And are you really okay with that?
Yes I am
Don't you want to know your story?
No...
I know you
No you don-
I am you
But-
So what
Huh?
So what if we don't recall anything ?
Bu-
So what if we have nothing to look up to?
We should die because our life is meaningless ?
WHO DECIDED THAT?
Yeah you are right
WE SHOULD LIVE! Even if I have no reason to live, can't I just create one for myself. For the 15 last years I wasted my time on stupid questions
I refuse to die other than by my own free will.
(At this moment the body covered by a bloody red radiance , a radiance so bright, it illuminated all the cave. It was in fact a sub-dimension with monster seen every. Hundreds of thousands if not millions bloodthirsty monsters)
I will live because no one has the right to decide my death for me
Yeah limits for us-
They don't exist !!!!
Because (synchro) we are ■■■■■■■
(The just a moment ago, motionless body start rising from the ground. A fear akin to a primordial fear invaded the monsters and they started retreating ,trembling as if the one in front of them was the true monster.)
And if it's still don't suffice
"I WILL LIVE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF LIVING"
(He opened his eyes and two blood red pillars of light shot out towards the sky piercing the sub-dimension barrier and continues until they pierced the clouds)
the sky turned red, the sun seemed to have flew, all the beast in the world turned toward one direction, the two blood red pillars, they looked with reverence as if it was in their genes . Without doubts today something changed in this world
A red window appears in front of him
[ you have reached awakening]
But he didn't care there only one thing in his mind "live"
And he started a massacre. When he came back to his senses. All that was left in this dimension was blood and corpses. An horrifying amount of corpses. The ground couldn't be seen all that was here was corpses or blood.
And this is how the journey started, after his first no after his second death. Or so it should have been but what is this red thing in front of him?
