The Parting

Blue, green, and yellow. These are the colors I see when I look through window. You might imagine the fright people may have when they look at me though I can assure you I am not as nearly frightening as that priest who could release those creatures with hollow empty eye sockets. It is in my nature to observe, not to judge. It is in my nature to search for reasons and conceptualize.

And there was blood being spilt now. Health tents were full and Denmark was very busy. Some had lost fingers and some had lost arms. Some had lost feet and had lost the whole legs.

The situation gave rise to despair and hopelessness. It was a pitiful situation. It was truly painful. But there was honor and patriotism involved. And where patriotism was involved, so was attachment and will to win. So wasn't only the physical need to win but an emotional one to win.

As days passed people started to get tired physically and many even became handicapped. But everyone who was fighting was fighting for a reason and purpose. So the pain could be subordinated for a higher plan. The plan was truly one that united people.

And as the bodies fell the president who himself was so sure of himself felt unsure whether sacrificing so many bodies for the sake of honor is with it. But then again the question was about honor.

Demark took a break from his war duties to visit a church. He knew it was the same branch as the church which the priest had released the deadly monstrosities. The church was smaller but many people came to pray. And Demark not yet knowing whom to pray still closed his eyes and tried to believe his parents are at a better place. He knew the war could go as he didn't want it to go and therefore he might die in service. He would very much like to meet his family again. Even a glimpse that they were in a better place.

The priest disguised himself as a soldier and went to the front lines were the massacres were taking place. Then he released those eyeless creatures which didn't have optic senses. These creatures like other creatures could be hungry and the priest made sure that the creatures didn't eat for a long time. In any case, their hunger was insatiable.

The creatures had minds and we're very dangerous. As they were released to the frontlines with the help of the priest the monsters quicky dispersed to satisfy their hunger. The priest stayed in closed grounds and didn't reveal himself. It was all pitch dark near the shadows of the buildings he was staying.

Huo was far from the frontlines, planning his next strategy and thinking he could make a lot of progress doing the things that normally Git would do if he was still alive. But things were different now. It was no longer the same. The priest had joined the battle field with monstrosities never heard of. 

When the soldiers on the frontline thought they were winning, those soldiers saw something that they didn't expect at all. The soldiers at the frontline didn't know what was happening at all. Only those soldiers at we're close enough could see the monstrosities. Others were dead before they could know it. 

The priest stood hidden when he released the monstrosities. The only weak spot that the monstrosities had was the priest. If there was no priest, there wouldn't be any monstrosities either. Therefore the survival or manifestation of the creatures depended on the survival of the priest.

But you may remember that the priest did have a lot of powers himself as he could control both time and the weight of his body. And he could also blend in with nature.

Blue skies and rivers were always in the imagination of Demark. He was in the hospital operating on the wounds of legs, hands and other body parts. Some people had diet problems because he weren't eating well. Some were homesick. It was sad that some while fighting would hear about their own homes and the conditions of their homes. And the condition was tragic indeed.

Soldiers and people from Silva we're dying and people did not know how. It was a kind of secret technique, a kind of trump card that changed the flow of the battle. Tears from the family members could be seen each morning when the burial ceremony began. Families and acquaintances could be seen showing their respect and sadness at the people who lost their lives.

Lyson, despite Huo's capabilities seemed to be winning the war. Many people seemed they would go on Lysons side too as they wanted a quick end to the senseless killing.

And confused as Huo was he visited the frontlines to see what was causing the decrease in the numbers. He looked up at the map he had in his room and contemplated on whether he should go to the battlefield himself. And he didn't want to lose any of his comrades. He didn't want to feel the loss that he felt when he lost Git. So he decided that if the deaths continued he would have to go and see the cause of destruction.

Git had rarely gone to the battlefield. But Huo was ready to go and see for himself what was the cause. And it was a risky decision for people could blackmail the trade of generals as generals controlled the way the battles were conducted and often won wars.

But Huo valued his fellow citizens and soldiers. And he decided he would risk going anyway as he had to find out what was going on.

He went to the place where the deaths of soldiers was mysteriously taking place. And he didn't know how. However he saw soldiers dying right in front of his eyes. He saw some of the soldiers losing limbs. He saw people losing their heads.

But he didn't see how.
