The Lost child Mkx Satoshi Story

Part 2

I tried not to scream as the demons were making cuts on my arms and legs trying to make me scream as a way of honoring their twisted fallen god Shinnok. My efforts were in vain as I could no longer hold back my cries and my voice joined the others that were stuck being tortured before it all went black.

I opened my eyes to find myself back in the cell with Mr. Kaire and a woman dressed in all white. I tried to get up but she pushed me gently down to the bed.

"You need to rest child"

"I need nothing from the likes of you"

I said as I realized she was a priestess of the brotherhood of Shadows from the symbol on her clothing.

"Relax boy she won't hurt you, she's here to help"

"Mr. Kaire she's a priestess of the brotherhood of Shadows, what do you mean she's here to help?!"

"She's not like the rest of them, boy, please keep your voice down and listen"

"Tameshite mimasu... go on" (I will try)

"My name is Ashrah and indeed I am a priestess in this place but my faith has faltered and I am planning an escape. Child, I'm unaware of what sin you have committed to being stuck down here but I see the light within you, you do not belong here..."

"Boy Ashrah wishes to take you away from this place for good"

"But what about you". I asked not wanting to leave Mr. Kaire behind.

"Ashrah has agreed to set my soul free if I assist her escape, she has a weapon that can permanently kill me and I will finally be free"

"This is Kris my weapon it has the ability to kill demons and specters permanently setting his soul free will be his reward but I wish to give you a second chance at life. A life you have been robbed of"

As if Mr. Kaire could sense my uncertainty he spoke once more.

"Do not pass this opportunity boy, Ashrah has the power not only to get you out of the building but out of the realm you will finally be free, I cannot or want to come with you since your escape will require speed and I no longer have that instead I wish for death but you can finally have a life you deserve"

After a while, I agreed. Ashrah quickly told us about her plan before the guard came around and then left.

Two days later I'm in my cell stretching as if getting ready to run a marathon, the marathon to my freedom. Mr. Kaire is sitting on his bed waiting for my signal but acting like he is sleeping.

Ashrah passes from our cell among some other priests and that is our cue. I quickly nudge Mr. Kaire to start his distraction. He gets up and starts hitting the bars and screams like a maniac grabbing the attention of the priests and two demon guards. He yells profanities at them and curses their mad god successfully upsetting them.

"To the torture area with him!"

One priest yells and the two demon guards open the gate and grab Mr. Kaire. As they leave Ashrah comes out of the shadows she was hiding in and unlocks the cell door once more.

"Let's go we do not have much time and remember keep your head down"

I nodded and Ashrah took my hand as we made our way through the maze-like halls of the dungeon. We passed many demons even when we exited the building but none questioned Ashrah since to them it looked like I was going to the torture area. Eventually, we reached the place where they had taken Mr. Kaire his screams becoming louder and louder. Ashrah and I hid behind a large rock and she told me to wait for her and then she made her way to the priests that were whipping Mr. Kaire.

"Damn you and your false god!"

"Silence you filth!"

A priest yelled and whipped Mr. Kaire once more his screams filling the air.

"Yamete kudasai..." (Please stop...)

I said as I could no longer bear to hear his screams and as if my prayer was heard Mr. Kaire's screams were replaced with those from the priests having been attacked and killed by Ashrah. As she finished them off I went to Mr. Kaire and helped him out of his chains.

"We need to hurry". Ashrah said not wanting to get caught, but Mr. Kaire wanted to say a proper goodbye.

"One moment with the boy please..." Ashrah only nodded and Mr. Kaire turned his attention to me.

"Here boy, I want you to have this" With that he gave me his silver necklace that was hidden underneath his beard.

"Why are you giving this to me?"

"Listen, boy, all my life I have done nothing but sin. I left no family back in Outworld and no friends no one that would mourn my passing, you have seen the better parts of me and that is what I wish for you to remember. So I want you to have this so you won't forget me." He said and put the silver necklace around my neck and turned to Ashrah ready for his soul to be free.

"Please take care of him". Mr. Kaire said as Ashrah stabbed him, his body becoming dust.

"I will"

She answered and took my hand. She opened a portal with an odd crystal that she had taken from one of the other priests and we both stepped inside. On the other side it was so bright I had to squint to see the city in front of us. A city in the middle of the desert with many people going by their daily schedule and children running around playing and having fun not caring about the noise and ruckus they were making.

I looked up at Ashrah with confusion as she was still holding my hand only for her to look down at me and smile as she answered the question in my mind.

"Welcome to Outworld Satoshi"
