Razaloth looked at the Druin around him when a foot come crashing down on his head once again, his vision blurred and his white hot anger he had been holding onto, like an iron from a forge, this anger began to subside being replaced by a deep need in his bones one he had been fighting due to what it would bring.
His body could hold on no longer the struggle against the Druin around him had sapped the last of his strength to fight what his body needed and started to slip into a deep slumber.
The Druin around him still cautious they were watching him, waiting while still restraining him, five minutes passed, then ten minutes.
Finally the Druin around Razaloth watching him began to believe he was in fact not faking and was out cold.
Slowly and with great caution the druin began to get up their hands no longer pressing down on his body.
All the druin stood up until only two druin remained holding his arms down, they were being careful to make sure he he would not get free and attach them.
the crippled man had began to compose himself as the medics had alleviated him of the body which he had held so close.
they worked tirelessly and fruitlessly as the hole going through his head was not going to change, he was dead not from heart attack or stroke but from a bullet to the brain.
but none of the medics present wanted to be the first one to declare the esteemed elder dead.
So they tirelessly worked upon his body analysing him as if trying to find what was wrong, their hands shaking as they worked, tears threatening to fall from their eyes as they investigated they only seemed to confirm what they already knew.
The elder was dead, not asleep or in coma this was something they were unable to change, death so pure and irreversable.
The medics slowly, one after another lowered their head and hands no longer analysing, no longer trying to change the unchangable, they sat their head fallen mourning the elders passing.
"what are you doing, help the elder, .... NOW" commanded the crippled man off to the side his hysteria less visable but strong, bubbling under the surface.
"I... I.." A medic closed his mouth and and again searching for the right words but in the end he was unable to say anything.
an older medic stepped forward in the young ones place, placing his hand on the man shoulder his face a symphony of sadness.
"i am truly sorry son but the elder, your father he is gone" the words like an iron bell reverberating through all the Druin present.
Each druin on the ship knew the elder, were hand picked and taken care of by the elder, this was his personal ship and he knew all the staff by name he held their hearts and minds.
A wave of sadness seemed to suffocate the druin in the room.
"he can't be, please just keep working on him" the man pleaded as he looked at his father.
His body cold and stiff unmoving to his pleas, the crippled man pleaded with anyone for his father back hoping that something could be done he would not believe that his father was truly dead.
the druin around him watched in a somber attitude they all wanted to cry and whal but they knew that would do nothing but hurt the crippled man even more they had to be strong.
Almost all the druin had fojrgotten Razaloth cries of a human breaking killing the elder, apart from a junior guard using the moment of silence he slipped towards the supervisor.
"should we investigate if a human was here?" he asked in a whisper as to not disturb the others.
"what are you talking about"
"he said that it was a human that killed the elder, should we not check" the man urged while the chaos and loss had captured all the rest of the druin's attention he had not been so preoccupied and had listened to the man now out cold on the floor it made sense to him as what duin would wanna kill and elder the leaders of the druin and the most enlightened.
"it would make sense if a human did it not a druin" continued the druin as he looked into his superiors eyes hoping he would see it too.
"it would make sense" replied the superior as he held his chin, his thoughts had been erratic due to the death of the elder but as he pondered and steadied his heart he knew it made no sense, the time of the explosion and the elders son had never actually said who had done it just to capture him.
"check the area make sure their is no humans" the druin finally decided.
"Who shall i take"
"i do not care be silent and take" trailed off the superior as he pointed as two other druin across the room.
the two had long since noticed the commotion disturbing the sad silence in the room and had begun glaring at the young officer.
the young officer mad a mental not in his head of the two and shuddered he did not get along with Khalil and Rayyan the two druin he had been assigned with to find any trace of the human.
the three of them left the room Khalil and Rayyan grumbling at the interruption as they paid their respects to the elder "of course it is the faithless, he wanted to leave at such an important time the elder had died and he does not care" they said to one another after leaving the room.
Jannai the young soldier heard them but could not rebuke them as it would not solve anything but make more problems, he kept his head down and hoped their was a trace of a human here.
