Fate's Final Act

-CH 7- Sunlight and shadows

ELDER THEODORE: THE ELVES VILLAGE.

"What the hell do you mean he ran away!!? Do you even realize how dangerous he could be!? On us. On everyone!"

Suddenly, a sound of glass crashing into the ground echoed through the huge marble chamber. Red whine spelled into the floor as it mixed with the small pieces of shattered glass. Trailing off as if it was the blood of a brave knight who fought until the end.

"Your majesty. We had four guards on the door. After the brutal punishment, he endured. We thought there was no way he'd be able to stand!" Uttered one of the guards. As he kept his head down in submission, he didn't even dare meet Theodore's angry eyes.

"BULLSHIT! You should have chained that barbaric beast! Don't you know what monster he will become?! He will take revenge on us all the minute he realizes the power he holds!"

The guard got on his knees. "Please forgive us. We'll get him back, we won't disappoint you! Please just forgive us..."

Theodore tapped his index finger impatiently. His eyes darted around the dimly lit room.

Suddenly, another voice echoed through the chamber, making the guard flinch.

"An eye for an eye, they say~" A smooth chuckle followed. A young man's figure appears and stepping into the light.

"I want to get my revenge. With my own bare hands." As that figure was fully in light now, it was revealed as no one else but Evan. With a wide scare that marked his left side.

As he opened both eyes... One of them was completely white. "Father... Allow me to get what I deserve... I will find Adonis."

An evil grin spread across Theodore's face. "Then. The matter has been settled. You can do whatever you want with him once you find him... I had to put out that fire when it was a small flame... but I have to pay the price for this sin of mine... Adonis must be killed. His ice powers can easily erase everything we've ever known!"

Evan smirked and nodded as he ran his fingers through his light silver hair. "I know all of his weaknesses. He's an easy prey..."

ADONIS : HUMAN CITY

I leaned against the glass wall with both my hands crossed over my chest. She was as majestic as I watched her every day.

But I think she kinda improved from the first time I saw her...

I was only a helpless 15 year old. Tears were streaming down my face as I ran furiously through the woods. Even tripped a couple of times. I was so frustrated and sad that day. I kept punching the muddy ground until it was stained with my blood.

My clothes were torn, and my whole body was filled with bruises, as a result of the severe bullying I got that day...

<Flashback>

"Why!" I yelled desperately while sobbing, my body shaking with every ragged breath.

"Why does everyone hate me so much!!? Why, mother! Why!? Why did you give birth to a monster like me!!"

I collapsed and started sobbing uncontrollably, with both my muddy and blood-stained hands covering my face.

Everything seemed dark back then.

I felt as if I was in quicksand. No matter how hard I try to get out. I keep getting pulled back deeper... and deeper... Until I can't breathe anymore.

I felt trapped here. I felt suffocated.

"🎶You are my sunshine🎶"

I sniffled, and my eyes snapped open as I suddenly heard a soft voice singing from a far. "Huh?"
