Chapter 9 - Spite

"This could've been better with your other eye"

The eloquent man smiles as he held both of Sunny's hands, locking him in place.

"Why?"

Sunny asked, unaware of what is being done. He felt fear, something unknown. Something a child should never experience.

"I was already to be executed once my crimes are known, only death is my end now. With my end on sight might as well be a monster till the end, I've known this mountain for so long most of my victims died here." his speech was then followed by a vile laughter audible only to Sunny.

Violated, Sunny was disgusted by the realization. Sunny tried to free his hands, moving it relentlessly, the eloquent man was forced to use both his hands stopping Sunny from moving.

"Ahgg! Ah! He-!"

Calling for help, Sunny's mouth was abruptly blocked by a hand.

"Shut up, or that abomination might hea-!"

*ting~*

A sound of a bell interrupted the man.

Sunny was able to summon his memory on his hand, with one of the man's hand occupying his mouth the hold became loose enough to summon the silver bell.

"What have you done!"

Screaming at Sunny, he pulls his hair then punctured Sunny's remaining eye with his hand. Knowing the mountain well, he knew which is infested with abomination yet he did not remember this slave had a bell.

a few branches broke signifying something is coming

"Damn you!"

"Ahhg!" Sunny screamed as much as he can. The vileness didn't end with his innocence, even the world became darkness.

"Are you crazy!" The eloquent man throws him to the wall, leaving Sunny alone.

Running away, another incomprehensible sound followed him.

*ting~ ting~ thuk!*

A bell dropped beside the running slave. Sunny had thrown it as far as he can to the sound of foot step of the eloquent man.

Several more branches broke surrounding the place with eerie tension.

"larvae..."

Sunny feeling the ground, no subtle rumbling can be felt. The mountain king was still far yet the presence of it's minions are here.

'Its still far, but it knows.'

By now, the fate of the eloquent man is already certain. The constant noise had sealed any route to escape, leaving him screaming in despair.

Sunny thought about his remaining time before the knight returns. His only hope was to stay alive.

Remembering where the knight climbed, Sunny dragged his frail body into darkness using the walls as his guide.

Sunny couldn't hold onto any stone, his palm scraped and bled, his knees heavily bruised as he climbed.

Without knowing how to climb he remained on the ground.

Sunny couldn't just accept the man who defiled him die like that, he was mad, he was angry, his mind couldn't decide what he wanted.

To remain and wait for the knight or to face the source of his spite.

He wanted to kill him for everything he did even if it's the last thing Sunny does.

Sunny summons the bell again throwing it far from the eloquent man. Sunny was now forming a way to divert attention.

At first, rage had caused him to throw away the bell and quickly climb. Realizing the bell returned to him, he throws it again.

The larvea would obviously react to sound, with how noisy the chains from every slave was the larvae just followed and ate anything that is noisy. They are just like the mountain king, discarding everything to follow the noise.

The eloquent man bleeding on the ground spoke.

"Thank... you."

Looking at the female slave he defiled, his words was muddled by blood in his mouth. His arms was torn along with his legs broken and bleeding stabbed by multiple sharp teeth.

It was clear he was seeking salvation. Hearing this, Sunny followed the man's voice.

"what are you..." confusion and fear on the eyes of the eloquent man.

Sunny removed the cloth bandaging his eye and slowly strangled the helpless man, bringing him damnation.

'You recieved a memory, memory of spite.' The spell echoes in his mind forming a grin on his face.
