Chapter 26 - Blades of Blood and Memory”

At night, Chucky found three snakes. He said to Oribgod, "Cut off the snakes' heads, but do it carefully."Oribgod said, "Okay, Father." He took out his dagger and cut the heads of the snakes.

His father came with some branches from the trees to cook the snakes on.

He said, "Oh, you've completed your work. Now I have to take out the poison and clean them with water.

After that, we'll cook them."After completing his work, he said to Oribgod, "Go and call Leio for dinner."Oribgod went to call his brother Leio for dinner. "Father is calling you for dinner," he said.Leio was sitting near the grave of their mother Euka, saying softly, "I was thinking it is a dream.

Please, someone wake me up from this bad dream." He was crying while saying this.His father Chucky came there, hugged him, and said, "You have to make yourself strong. If you become weak, then I will too. You are my two hands."

He kissed his forehead and said, "Now come and eat."They started eating the food, which was roasted snake. His father Chucky said, "Now you should sleep. I will guard the cave from outside."Oribgod said, "No, father, you need to take some sleep.

You haven't slept since the previous night."Chucky smiled and said, "My dreams of sleeping are over. I can't sleep anymore. Whenever I close my eyes, I always see the death of Euka and the things that happened that day."Oribgod said, "Okay, Father, if you want to guard, then when you feel sleepy, don't hesitate to wake me up to take your place."Chucky said, "Okay, if I feel sleepy, I will call you.

Now go and rest."Chucky stood outside the cave to protect his sons from any alien attacks.After a few minutes, the sun rose. Chucky hadn't slept for the whole night. He kept guarding the cave.

Then he went inside and said, "Wake up, my sons. Go and freshen up; let us have breakfast."Early in the morning, he went fishing, caught some fish, roasted them, and gave them to Leio and Oribgod.

He also ate with them himself.After that, Chucky gave them weapons: Voldseer swords, blades, fuel packs, and spine dome rockets. He handed them over

carefully.Then he said to Oribgod, "Now we have to go to Ruka's cave, and after that, we will leave for the Western Lab to kill Zaid.

And after that, I will kill Ruka."Oribgod said, "Father, why are you always afraid of Zaid and Ruka? And why do you hesitate to tell me the full story about your past events?"Chucky said, "I will tell you the truth about Zaid's story, about me, and everything else—but in front of Ruka.

After that, you will kill Ruka with your own hands. Promise me this."Oribgod said, "I promise you, Father.

When I know the truth, I will kill Ruka with my own hands.

"Then Chucky said, "We will go in different directions, but we will meet at the Western Lab, okay."Oribgod said, "What do you mean, Father? I can't understand.

"Chucky said, "I'm going to search for Boxery. When I find him, I'll cut off his head. Then I'll come to your side and tell you everything about Zaid and my past.

After you kill Ruka, we'll move together toward the Western Lab.

And Leio will reach there first and see Zaid's condition. Then I will come and kill him with my own hands."Leio said, "Okay, Father. I'll do what you say."

Then they raised their horses and went their own ways.Oribgod reached the cave of Ruka. She was injured from when she protected Leio from Boxery. She was hiding there and had promised Oribgod she would not run away from that cave.Ruka said, "Oh, you came. Did your father Chucky save his family members or not?"Oribgod said, "We were not successful in saving our family.

My mother Euka and Orgondo died in front of my father. Since that day, he has not slept."Ruka said, "Don't worry about that. Once my Zaid wakes up, I'll tell him to recreate Euka and Orgondo."

Oribgod said, "My father Chucky said that when he kills Boxery, he will come here and tell me the full story of his past events. After that, I will kill you.

"Ruka said, "Yes, I already know this. Before you even said it, I understood everything—your father Chucky's full plan."

Then she said, "Alright, sit here. I'm coming in a minute," and she went to take water from the riverbank.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chucky was searching for Boxery. Boxery had made his camp in the region near the Yellow Door.Chucky cut down two alien protectors and shouted, "Boxery! Now you will pay for what you've done! Your time has come—you will die by my hands right now!"The Tendenco tribe people were there, wearing special squad alien armor and carrying the same weapons.

Their tribe leader, named Rango, ordered them, "Kill Chucky and protect Boxery at all costs!"They made a barrier of alien guards to protect Boxery from Chucky's attack.Chucky shouted, "Come fast! I don't have much time! Whoever attacks me—I will kill each one in a second!"The battle began as Chucky started fighting to reach Boxery.

Boxery called out to Rango, "Leader, make sure Chucky gets stuck there only." Then he transformed into his alien form and started running toward the western

direction.Chucky said, "Boxery, I will never let you reach Zaid!" He killed all the soldiers in his path one by one and finally caught up to fight him directly.Boxery said, "Why are you trying to save that boy, Chucky? Give all the powers to me. I will create a peaceful world where even you can live.

"Chucky said, "Enough! Now it's time to fight me!"He attacked continuously on Boxery's alien body. He cut down his hands and legs, and within seconds, he slashed off his head from the alien body.

Then he pulled Boxery from his transformation body and said, "I already told you—if you kill my family, I will become a devil for you!"
