the Empress' Dragon [Empress!Akame x Hybrid Tatsumi]

Chapter 34 [Before the Battle]

[Art is not mine]

Tatsumi's P.O.V

It was only an hour after we had killed Merraid and disbanded the Oarburgh clan forever, we were on the road with myself in the lead since i'm the only one who knew where my father was when Akame brought up the upcoming fight.

Akame:"Tatsumi, are you sure about this fight?"

Tatsumi:"Yeah, i've already made peace with what i'm going to do."

Taeko:"And what would that be?"

Tatsumi:"I'll defeat him and leave it at that, his life is not mine to end."

Lubbock:"But you were hellbent on having his head for leaving your mother to die, what's changed?"

Tatsumi:"He already has to live with that fact for as long as he will live, there's no need to end his life for it, i've already settled it in my head and nothing's going to change that."

Bulat:"I'm proud of you kid-

-You've grown up more in a couple week's than most people in the army have."

Tatsumi:"I have?"

Susanoo:"Indeed, when i first met you you were angry at the world and spiteful about everything but now you're more mature than most adult's."

Tatsumi:"Thank you, that mean's a lot coming from you guy's."

Taeko:"You took what you labled as a curse and made it into something more, you hated being a Hybrid but now you've become a beacon of hope for other's Hybrid's like you."

Sheele:"Most people would have just layed down and let there own anger consume them and become nothing but spiteful toward's everyone-

-But you've taken that anger and used it as burning motivation to push you toward's your goal's."

Lubbock:"Hell you even let enemies live, not out of pity but actual compassion for them and wanting the best for them, if you weren't there and let Cassandra go i likely would have finished her, having to take a life haunt's even the most experienced soldier-

-So that's why i'm right by your side bud till the very end."

Akame:"You've proven time and time again that you are a true leader and can lead more than just a kingdom but an army into battle and come out the victor, even though your emotion's sometime's get the best of you it has happened to all of us you have the maturity to admit your fault's and embrase who you are-

-That's why i'll always be with you, forever and always dear."

Tatsumi:(Well, i guess they're right i have changed a good bit, i guess it wasn't just a change of heart after all.):"Thank you all."

Taeko:"Hm?"

Tatsumi:"If it wasn't for you i would end up being the same as my old self, you all have helped me through the darkest moment of my life and helped me become a real self again for that i am forever greatful, now whenever you all are ready we'll get back on the road.":(This fight is no longer a debt of blood it's about burying a hatchet now and forever.)

Akame:"Then let's get moving people we don't want this to wait any longer than it has to."

We continued on our path toward's me and my father's final battle ground.

Masaru's P.O.V

Masaru:(The end is drawing near, this fight will be our last.):"Don't hold back son, 'cause i won't."
