Chapter 26 - CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: A DREAM.

Aaaaa

CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.

We trudge quietly after Sesugh,

-He is quite a sight-

He is bent over, currently struggling to drag a semi-conscious man.

"We'd move much faster if you dropped all this heavy weight" Rave remarks in irritation at Sesugh's sluggishness resulting from the body he carries,

Sesugh shakes his head decisively and mumbles simply in response;

"No true leader leaves their men behind",

I stare at the currently humped person walking right before me,

- I try not to believe it but-;

Sesugh has earned my respect by his principles,

I turn to see Rave's thoughtful expression;

"Was it just my attack that made them this way? The others were as good as dead" he asks somewhat guiltily.

Sesugh pauses in his tracks ;

"Nah…for those who didn't stand up..." He pauses;

"They had been severely injured by Magical beasts"

he mutters while continuing his slow trek.

-I am stunned at his casual composure; or perhaps he is not aware that this man he's dragging along is practically dead of monster poison already?-

"I know it's probably hopeless…" he utters,in sync with my deliberations;

"But it's always been my dream to be a great leader anybody can look up to…I can't possibly leave the man I have even the slightest chance of saving behind".

"And you?"

Rave asks, cutting him in;

"Were you injured?".

Sesugh stops in his tracks;

He places the body gently on the floor, then he takes off his shirt with his back to us.

I gasp.

-He reveals a deep gnash wound right at the middle of his back-

I turn my face away in disgust;

-It seems to be rotting up-

"But a true leader can't be weak when his men are weak" he intones while putting his shirt back on,

He lifts the body up and piggy backs it,

-Right on that same back-

EUPHORA.

HYDE'S POINT OF VIEW.

Though my sight is incredibly blurred.

And the pain in my left arm is so much it's literally blinding ,

- I still manage to vividly SEE the chaos ensuing-

In a matter of minutes, the buxom, grand frame of my uncle is reduced to nothing.

As his head is yanked off,

His silly, permanently complainant wife goes next.

Her makeup is smudged from the tears and pleading,but the butcherer is apparently so annoyed, that he nastily slices off her hands;

-Right as they are poised in a pleading-

Her upper torso falls as well in one clean fell.

My highly annoying cousins also known as my tormentors cry out most energetically,

But soon their yapping is cut off as well;

-Literally cut off-

An extrinsic satisfaction washes over me as I see deadened bodies lain beside mine.

-I smile-,

"What a fool", I hear a woman remark;

"He really believed he could hide in Euphora" she adds,

"Hey what about this fella?" a man's voice approaches me.

"He doesn't seem to be their son…he isn't dressed as fine…neither is he as chubby" a high pitched voice concurs

"Well too bad…I already cut off his arm so, he'll probably die of bleeding" the man mutters casually,

"Well then…let's away" the woman states on a note of finality and I watch as they begin to walk away;

-At this rate of bleeding, I'm actually going to die-

"WAIT!"

I yell out with all my strength.

The party of murderers do not stop.

"Please…take me with you…I promise you will not regret it"

I cry refusing to be dettered by their disinterest.

They walk along, still not turning back.

"I COULD JUST BE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR! WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR TEAM COMPLETE!"

I yell in desperation.

The woman, -I think- stops abruptly.

"Faria, don't tell me you're really going to..."

The man who cut my arm off says in incredulity.

The woman who is probably the leader, walks to me and crouches to my level.

She regards me.

"Fine then" she states simply.

"WHAT?!"

The man who cut my arm is baffled beyond measure.

"Oh shut up Mic, at the end of the day…it's still all up to Lord Fenice" she snaps,

She motions to the girl with the high pitched voice who comes towards me and somehow levitates me.

-How am I even levitating??!, That's actually possible?-

I shut my eyes as it finally clicks.

-I have a dream, and that dream is to live!-
