note : this is from mir POV, sorry for any errors! ( I cried when reading this chapter serously)

There is nothing more terrifying in the world than embracing the pure darkness.

The foul odor emanating from a distance was so repulsive that it made my nose sting, and even bringing it near my face felt nauseating.

Still, I had to do it.

As a child, I used to cover myself with a blanket whenever I heard the sound of thunder because it scared me every day.

Al II could do was wrestle with fear while anxiously waiting for my mother, never knowing when she would safely return.

"Uh... uh...mother..."

Every day, I would hold my breath and tremble in the corner of our safe haven, waiting for my mother to return from the fierce battles with the gods. When she finally did, her feet would be weary, and she would limp towards me.

" ...Mother... Why do we have to fight the gods...? Why do you have to get hurt like this....?"

The endless cycle of battle, witnessing her mother grow more and more exhausted each day, twisted Mir's heart with pain and sorrow.

Still, all I could do was hide, trying to stay out of harm's way and not become a burden or hostage. It felt like a helpless and frustrating situation, but I had no other choice.

Every time I approach my mother with a sad expression and express my worries, she embraces me tightly, as if trying to comfort and reassure me

"It's okay, baby, don't worry, we can drive out the gods soon and peace will come again..."

Her gentle smile calms my heart, but... it is just a lie to reassure me.

hug...

But... deep down, I couldn't deny that my worried heart found solace in the warmth of my mother's embrace, even though I knew her words were meant to comfort me, even if it's a lie.

"I love you, my precious daughter...I need to go now, even if it's uncomfortable... please hold on a little longer, okay baby? ...Everything will be okay..."

When I received those comforting words from my mother and embraced her, a sense of calm washed over me, allowing me to drift off into a peaceful sleep with a renewed sense of hope.

"Yes.. I understand, mother..please be safe...."

As I began to drift off, memories of my father, who passed away long ago, come rushing back to me.

His face becomes blurry in my memory, and the image of his loving arms that used to hold me tightly starts to fade away.

I can't remember because I was too young... but I definitely remember this moment.

The image of my father, pierced by spears and on the brink of death, but still managing to smile at me, is deeply ingrained in my memory.

The powerless smile and the trickle of red blood from the corners of his mouth became etched in my mind like a traumatic memory.

I can remember what expression he made at the end... but why can't I remember his face...

I pondered that question, searching for an answer, but in the end, I drifted off to sleep.

...

...

Then... one day, everything came crashing down.

"Haakh!... Ukh...! Heoukh...! Haahk..!!"

I was running through the forest, where it was once my home.., everyone safe haven..., but...now reduced to ashes and charred remains..
