(Kane)-Hmmm… Adonai? That name seems familiar.- the man thought.
(Kane)-Who killed me?- Kane asked cautiously.
(Adonai)-Well, you know who it pretended he was, but you didn't really know it. He gave himself the name of Cassius.
Kane started gasping for air.
(Kane)-It can't be…-Kane stopped with a terrified expression.
(Kane)-HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE SAVED ME BEFORE.- he said while remembering who "Cassius" "was.
He started to have flashbacks about Cassius and the time they spent together, Cassius was someone he encountered in the start of the war in his times of being a recruit, they soon became close friends, Cassius presented himself as an orphan that overcame his past and joined the army so he could protect the children from his so called home.
Cassius was the "commander" in the recruit camp, he was the intelligent one with most of the strategies but also courageous, knowing when he had to advance into battle, he was basically the brains and Kane was the body, the warrior, the one who slashed through his enemies without mercy and followed plans with his own "adjustments", which normally pissed Cassius off.
They reached a point where they were like brothers, with an unbreakable bond, a bond that seemed like it was impossible to create in such times, which inspired others to gain strength in the war and keep going so they could be like them.
(Kane)-YOU'RE LYING, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, HE WAS THE ONE WHO SUPPORTED ME THE MOST ON THE WAR, EVEN WHEN OUR CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY DIED HE STILL COMFORTED EVERYONE WHILE SUFFERING BUT NEVER SHOWED IT.- Kane said while crying tears of frustration, anger and confusion, thinking of how impossible it was for it to happen.
Kane started to have flashbacks about his times with Cassius again and the time it saved him, still believing in his friendship.
(In the flashback) They were at war, in an particular difficult battle for both of them which had already killed many of their comrades which happened duo of the result of a sneaky strategy where the enemy would send small creatures like rats, that were controlled by them to go through the ground in small tunnels with small bombs attached to them, which normally wouldn't be much trouble but they had hundreds of rats on that desertic battlefield, which made it catastrophic.
The moment the bombs went off everyone panicked, even veterans with years of experience started making rookie mistakes.
It was at that moment that the enemies seized that opportunity so they could attack with full force, even using some of the spies they implanted in the army so they could end the war for once, that was the moment which Kane got trapped and got injured by 3 enemies, which one of them pierced his spear against Kane's leg, but when all hope seemed lost, Cassius appeared with reinforcements and with a masterplan to counter their attack and eventually got to where Kane was.
(Cassius)-Dont let them run, gather them in a dead end and surround them!- Cassius commanded with a strong voice until he saw Kane fighting against enemies while severely injured and with a spear through his leg.
(Cassius)-KANE!-he said with a worried expression.
(Kane)-CASSIUS, BE CAREFUL, THERE ARE STILL ENEMIES LEFT DONT BOTHER ME!-he said even though his body was starting to shut down and his sight got blurry.
After hearing that, Cassius ignored what he said, left the rest of his allies while they were dealing with the rest of the enemies and started charging forward like there was no tomorrow, worried his "friend" was going to die.
(Cassius)-IM COMING TO SAVE YOU KANE, DONT DIE ON ME.-he shouted with such volume that echoed through the battlefield.
Kane's expression changed when he saw his "brother" coming to save him.
(Kane)-I WONT, YOU KNOW HOW STRONG I AM CASSIUS.-Kane said, smiling ear to ear even though he was halfway to the next world.
A few seconds later Cassius reached Kane in his white horse and killed the three enemies and led him to the infirmary, which later saved Kane's life.
The flashbacks kept coming, memories of them joking around and fighting continued until he noticed Adonai´s face.
Adonai got mad, with an expression that would scare even the most experienced warriors that stepped a foot on this world.
(Adonai)-Shut, up.- He said, madder than he had ever been in centuries.
(Adonai)-I never would have expected such a warrior rumbling so much babosier , but fine.- Exclaimed the god calming himself down.
(Adonai) -I know you're hurting but you need to stop, this is the truth no matter if you like it or not.
(Adonai)-So, if you don't believe that's ok, but it's your own choice.- said the "god" with a still irritated expression.
Kane immediately tensed up with such fear that he only felt something familiar when he fought his first monster, which gave him a scar in his chest going from the chest to the waist diagonally, that never healed correctly but still hurt and nervous.
(Kane)-So he really killed me?- he said while maintaining his distance hoping Adonai couldn't reach him there.
(Adonai)-I already told you what you wanted to know. So- he got interrupted by Kane which annoyed him.
(Kane)-Last thing and after this I'll stop with the "stupid" questions.- he said with a serious face.
(Kane)-How did the war end?
(Adonai)-You were defeated…-he said with, for the first time, an empathetic expression.
(Adonai)-Now I need to give you a choice. Do you want to come back 10 years before the war started and try to avenge yourself or do you want to go to the next place?
