MOIRAI book 2 Man*Man

Prologue

*We are the only ones that can change ourselves at our own pace. No one can force us to feel, no one can force us to forget and definitely no one can say we are ready to face our demons if we are not. We choose to be ready and at the end of the day, we choose when to be strong and stand up to our demons*

*****

"They called you pathetic, an embarrassment, useless, a low life. Do you still believe them" Ebron asked encircling behind him as he took in the boy trying to see if he has finally gotten what they have been training these past weeks

"No" He gave a strong answer, his voice strong not wavering. This gave Ebron some hope that maybe finally he has learnt all about what they have been learning

"Why?"

"Because I am not what they say"

"Who do you hate the most?"

"Hattie"

"Why?"

"She hated me since I was just a child" He replied fighting his tears back, he was supposed the be strong for this "I hate her just as much"

"Who is next?"

"Ernest, he lied and put me through a lot"

"Who is next" Ebron asked getting to stand in front of him with his hard face, gazing down at him.

"The guards, they killed my aunt. Logan and Oda then Henry"

"Are you forgetting someone" Ebron asked and he shook his head no "Do you still love him?"

"Yes"

"Do you hate him?"

"No"

"Do you want to get revenge on him?"

"Yes"

"What do you want to do?" He glanced down but didn't reply, Ebron bit the inside of his cheek trying to control himself not to lash out because they needed him and even if the progress is slow he had to wait "How much do you want revenge on them?" He asked again trying to see how willing he was.

"So much"

"Are you willing to kill?" He shook his head stomping his leg on the ground feeling so angry at himself for still not being able to do that "Look at me" he lifted his head "That anger doesn't have to go towards you, it supposed to be towards them. They all hurt you now I ask you one last time, what are you willing to do, to see them pay"

"Everything"

"But you are not willing to kill, how will you do that"

"I am not a murderer"

"They hurt you, they tried to kill you. Left you for dead, why aren't you willing to shed some blood" Ebron asked staring at him in the eye, after what they did he should be blood driven at this moment but the boy was still not "Is it because of love"

"No"

"What will you do if you see him?" Ebron asked and he waited for the answer that didn't come "Will you forget about your revenge, let him push you into a corner, make you dependant again" Ebron asked walking towards him as the boy took steps back "Do you want him to back you up like this, make you feel defense less, beg for his love. Is that what you want?" The boy shook his head no "Lie to you again, are you going to forget all about your revenge, is that why you are not willing to kill, do you still care about what he will think of you, is that it"

"No"

"Then why are you crying, why are you still shading tears for him" he wiped away the tears that have escaped his eyes in anger trying to calm himself down and not tear up even more "He moved on after and you are still here crying over him, still weak for him, still caring about what he thinks of you. You don't want to look like a murderer in his eyes, are you even willing to make them pay for what they did or are you going to stand here and cry about him when he is rolling around in bed with the person that hurt you, your family deserves justice, your aunt deserves justice and here you are still crying over him, if you are not willing to empty your heart and feel nothing but hate, this isn't meant for you"

Ebron walked out of the room angry as he kicked all the stuff around, even out he could still hear the boy crying inside the room. Ebron opened up the door where his king is, he bowed showing his respect "He is incapable my king" Ebron said even if his king was staring outside "I don't think he is right for this, he is not willing to kill, we need someone who is willing to kill"

"Maybe he needs more time" the king replied in a deep voice turning around in his chair to stare at Ebron.

"It has been two months and he is still crying over him, he is not going to be able to work for us my king. If we send him we are going to fail, his love is going to make him fail"

"We need him, try even more"

"I have tried my king" Ebron replied, what kind of person doesn't want to kill after what they put him through, love should be the last thing on his mind but he doesn't even want to take revenge on someone that hurt him, still cries over him yet he was betrayed. He doesn't want to kill scared of what he will think of him "I told him they killed his family and he is still not willing to kill, he is not willing to let go of the love in his heart. We are wasting time here my king, we need a new plan"

"He is the only one that can help us, this plan can only be done by him. We need him, go back and do what you have to do, get him ready as good as you can"

"And what if he fails us" Ebron asks because he knows they are going to be failed. The boy will not manage, his will for revenge isn't as strong as his will for love, it is impossible to do anything if he is in love. He will mess the entire thing up the minute he steps into the castle and Ebron knows it, he wishes his king can see it too. His king might have his trust in the boy but Ebron doubts it, the boy is incapable.

"If he fails we move on to plan B" the king replied resting his hands onto the table his mask covering up his entire face "But capable or not, we need him for our first plan, so go back in there and show him what he has to do"

"Why do we need him my king, we have good fighters here" Ebron knows that infuriating Felstead won't be easy but they have people that are good enough to do it, only if they put their plan in them and not in the boy that can't do anything, so weak and pathetic, he won't be able to do a thing

"We have a Felstead in our castle, that boy is our entire plan"

But the boy was not up for revenge
