Chapter 3

The crowd cheered around the fighting pit as Marcus Kane stood there once again for the second time. He starred at me, with stern but yet eyes that had worry and sadness.

'As we invite death into this hall, we honor it.' Gaia talked down as we all stood higher, 'Omon Gon Oson.'

'Omon Gon Oson.' The warriors muttered as they all looked down to honor the moment.

I gripped on the rail as I starred back at Marcus. This may be the last moment I would see him alive, I thought to myself. 'Be the last.'

The criminal in the pit immediately grabbed the weapons hung on the walls, ready to fight Marcus who was the only enemy to battle against for his freedom.

Marcus on the other hand didn't move from his position, still starring from below.

'Choose your weapon, Kane.' The criminal shouted, 'Neither of us will walk out alive if you don't.'

Marcus stood still and ignored the criminal. Without another word, he punched Marcus in the face, causing him to grunt and fall to the ground.

'Kane, fight!'

He looked up at the warrior and shook his head, 'I'm not fighting you.'

Marcus slowly got up and raised his voice, 'I will not kill this man.'

Octavia quickly got up out of her throne and left the area. I stayed and watched from up high as I knew I was about to see something interesting happening.

'You are Wonkru or the enemy of Wonkru!' Octavia yelled as she walked toward the fighting pit. 'Choose.'

The criminal kneeled down, respecting Blodreina but as for Marcus, he continued to stay still. 'I already have.'

Furiously, Octavia took the sword that was used for the pit and stomped right back to Marcus. My first instinct was to run down to the fighting pit, even thought I didn't know why I reacted the way I did.

Once I got down, Marcus was already on the ground and Octavia hovered around him. 'Where's your survival instinct Kane? Fight.'

'Saving our people is more than keeping them alive, Octavia.' Marcus sat up on the ground, 'It's not too late.'

Octavia gripped on the sword tightly. 'For you, it is.'

'Wait, Octavia.' I screamed as I ran towards her. She raised the sword up high, biting her lip as she looked at Marcus angrily.

The sudden loud noise made all of Wonkru freeze; it was coming from above us, on the land.

Bright sunlight shone from the tiny crack from our ceiling, making me squint as I continue to check what was happening.

'Octavia, Y/N. We have to go, it isn't safe!' Indra tried to pull us out of the fighting pit. 'Guards, get the prisoners in their cells!'

'No!' Octavia yelled as the ceiling continued to crack open. I froze, my mind was in shock and I didn't know what to do.

Sooner later, the ceiling stopped making noise and the dirt stopped falling from above. Instead, there was a figure coming down from a rope but with all the dust from the dirt, it was hard to see who it was.

'Bell?' Octavia mumbled as she slowly walked over to the figure to make sure. She then runs towards them and hugged tightly.

It felt as though my feet were planted on the ground. I still couldn't believe that after all these years we finally had sunlight or even someone coming to save us.

The figure then let Octavia go and slowly walked towards me. 'Reyes.'

Even after six years I never forgot how his voice sounded like. It's been so long since I heard it, I couldn't help but cry.
