Rain.
It filled the whole area with a heavy rain.
The raindrops landed loudly at the ground and splashed as it spreaded.
The sky roaring its anger and showing its wrath, taking a form of lightning that descended on the land.
The whole world seemed so dark and confusing to Rimuru as he took steps towards the misery before him.
His eyes widened as he took in the sight that he was seeing. The dry blood on the ripped clothes on the ground, and the corpses of people.
His people.
The skin of the goblins were supposed to be green, yet why are they brown and grey?
The city was supposed to be filled with lights and lively, yet why is it so lonely and dark?
The city was supposed to be full of residents, yet why is it so empty?
The houses were supposed to be a shelter, but why are they ruined?
His people was supposed to greet him with a surprise...
'But why?'
'Why is no one greeting me?..'
'Why aren't they surprising me?..'
'Why is no one here to welcome me back home?'
Those thoughts filled inside Rimuru's head as he continued to move forward.
The sound of his steps splashing against the puddles of running water. The rain soaking him as he walked with no umbrella. No shelter. Just alone, walking under the heavy rain.
Rimuru continued to take a step forward, while looking at everything. But he decided to avert his gaze and focused in one direction.
He didn't blink, nor he wavered.
Until his sight became blurry.
But one step after another, his sight started to change form. The dark scenery turned bright as it was filled with colors and familiar figures came to his blurry sight.
'Is this a dream?...'
'Am I hallucinating?..'
He thought for a second, until he started to hear things.
'Rimuru-sama!!'
'Good morning Rimuru-sama!'
'Rimuru-sama!'
'Rimuru-sama!'
'Rimuru-sama!!'
It made him feel a warm sense of familiarity and love. The voices, and despite his blurry sight, he could tell that it was them. He can hear them, and see them even though not clearly.
He smiled warmly as he continued. Until his gaze met a few people who were closest to him.
His smile widened as he started to run towards them. He could see them waving at him, and calling his name.
Excitement and longing swirled inside his heart, and he slowly walked towards them instead of running.
He stopped infront and looked at their blurry faces. He couldn't see clearly yet he knows who was who by the colors of their hair and the sound of their voices.
Rimuru hesitated to speak as his lips trembled. His whole body was trembling. He couldn't contain himself, but gathered his courage with a deep and heavy sigh.
'Welcome back, Rimuru-sama!!'
His people greeed him in a lively and enthusiasm. They were all happy to see their master again after a long time.
He smiled widely and closed his eyes as he heared them. And without thinking hesitantly, he launched himself to hug them all.
He thought that he was going to feel their warmth again.
But all of it was for naught.
He was met with cold air.
Rimuru stumbled in front with no one to hug or lean on. His eyes closing instinctively as he crashed on the puddly ground head first, water splashing as his head got burried on the hard ground.
He didn't move, as if there was a heavy weight pulling him down. He just stayed on that position until he picked himself up to kneel and sit down.
He just sat there with his face dirty.
His eyes devoid of any emotion.
He clenched his fists as he finally spoke.
"Everyone.."
'How bittersweet.'
"I'm back home"
Rimuru finally said in a trembling voice.
His eyes with no emotion started to fill with tears, and he didn't and couldn't find the strength to hold them back.
Not after he held it in for too long.
Tears begun to pour out from his eyes down to his lap.
And it poured like the heavy rain.
It was all an illusion, he knew from the start. But a part of him was hoping, that somehow... It would be true.
Because he couldn't accept the cruel reality before him.
His desire, wishful thinking, and longing resulted to hallucinations.
He wished to return home.
And it came true.
But his wish was met with tragedy.
As if the wishes he made was fulfilled by some sort of an evil god.
After those years of longing.
The Master was finally back home.
Yet, none of his servants came to welcome him.
Because all of them were dead.
And over the 'once lively place of tempest', was now in ruins.
The Master wept...
