Act - 2

"That is my oath to you. I, Iudex Neuvillette will serve justice to the people of fontiane." His voice was governing the clouds, it held so much authority and sincerity as the winds fell silent, it was as if time slowed down, and every sound became silent, even the gaping sea under my feet was not as before.

Oh, I spoke too soon, my back felt a gust of wind against it, my hair coming in front of my eyes as I shockingly saw upwards, falling, I was falling.

Trust me, his voice echoed in my heart.

My heart sank deeper, as I saw my hands bruised all healed up by the mere touch of the dragon who floated high in the blue skies, I could feel his gaze on me, watching me as to see when I will be consumed by the sea, I'd known fate was cruel to me all life.

Giving me hope for a better future then it is all blackened, it was always the case for me, I made the pact with that dragon, not knowing fully well about the prophecy, and risked my life as the final sacrifice all for a tiny hope of being able to live in the future that I dreamt about, full of civilians, a place worth calling home and a place where we're treated equals as humans and not by our blood.

He gave me an oath, the dragon of seven sovereigns. He will make this wish of mine come true, but my heart still feels heavy.

Cold waters, the touch that I'd craved all my life, where it was meant to be done by the royal justice or to change the fate of the people in my homeland, I feel that I was the one destined to be drowned in water, maybe that's why I've loved them is much since the birth, as if the fate was just telling me in my younger of what my future holds for.

I closed my eyes, as I felt the waves drag my body deeper, like an invisible push guiding me, I will embrace it if it means I can have my peace again. This is the end of the life of a real sinner. I've heard that story so many times from the mouth of my mother many times before I went to bed.

My body swayed as I knew the water was carrying my arms, strength slowly losing them, the deeper I sank, the more restless my mind grew, so many thoughts churning in my brain, vivid, small yet so many fragments of the life that I considered blank. I have heard them say, your life flashes before your eyes, however, mine wasn't.

I could see my life vividly but not by my own brain, it was as if these memories were flooding into my head that I had never even remembered for the longest times. They were loud, heavy, and scary all at once, nothing like the peaceful end that I wanted. Rotten smell as if I was surrounded by coal I opened to see darkness around me, my hands thrashed around.

Oh darling, aren't our daughter the brightest?! Look at her! She's so good at studying plants.

These flowers look very pretty, just like you, mother!

Oh, who wants to set sail to the shore and fight off those scary monsters? Tis the father and daughter duo who will kill savage beasts one day!!

I grew frantic, it was too loud, and the water stung my eyes but I kept trying to see one pit of light to burst out of it, my legs grew heavy and tired, I summoned every last bit of strength to move but they didn't listen.

The ocean is beautiful if you can hear what they are trying to tell you. It says, live your life and explore to your heart's content. That is the thrilling life of a pirate, we don't fear the sea, my child, it's not scary it is our home. And Mom and Dad were returning to their home.

Without me? When will you take me?

I hope to God that the day never comes. Promise me, Adlea you will not give up on life, you will live for Mama and papa and be the great medic that you've always wanted to become.

I didn't keep their promise, and I certainly don't want to die here, it is nothing peaceful but horrifying, lonely, and painful. After everything I've done to make things right for myself and people, I've suffered more, and this is how you repay me! That is not fair to me as well! I don't want to die here; I want to live again! I want to live again like I used to as a child, with freedom and the company of my loved one, that is what my heart seeks that what I wish for!

I was lied to for every second of my life, from my parents to my lover, to the dragon who I traded my life to save millions and get nothing in return, I knew I was the only person who never lied to myself. If I open my eyes again, I will never be the prey, that's my promise to myself.

And then, the voices drowned and so did I.
