A Lifes Journey

17. A Lifes Journey - Chapter 17

My brain couldn't stop thinking about this information, why did I kill Ostel and that student? I always tried to figure out what happened with Ostel, but this new incident, it was a new piece for a bigger puzzle.

Viktor took my hand and held it in his palms "Boya, can you tell us some Slayer stories? me and Georji always thought you guys were so cool!"

*Tch* if he would've asked me earlier today, I wouldn't have minded... Right now I'm really pissed off at the Slayers.

Something definitely happened because of Kiyoko, wait didn't Jake say they're old friends?

"Kid? are you alr-"

"Jake, can you tell me a bit about my master? anything you know about her will help."

"Geroji... This cute boy completely ignored me!!!" Viktor snuggled into his brother's chest and cried, oops, my bad there...

"By master you mean Kiyoko right? D'ya know, we go way way back, we grew up together actually." Jake started, his expression conveying a sense of nostalgia.

"We both grew up in the slums of Silvermoon, the capital city of Rintiya. Was a half Wistian half Hadohian kid and she was from a forgotten, eradicated dynasty called Koshinjiro.

We were both outcasts so got 'long kinda good." He laid down on his back, staring at the ceiling and invited me to do the same.

"This girl was always really uptight, very strict and punctual" No change there I guess.

"but that didn't stop Yoko from also being one of the most loving, caring people I've ever met." Yoko?

"Yoko was strong, but not in the kind of strength that crashes people with brute force, had that too, don't get me wrong."

"I'll say" I added, to which he let out a curt giggle.

"But Yoko's real power was how beloved she was by everyone.

It was to the point where Yoko became the leader of the slums, and when say leader, mean Yoko basically became the mayor of the slums of the capital.

It is obvious in hindsight that this level of power couldn't be ignored by the king, after all he wouldn't let another autonomous zone be created right under his nose, in the kingdom of Rintiya." Jake brought one of his hands up to his face and covered his eyes.

Viktor and George also listened in at this point.

"Don't leave us on a cliff here Jakeoo, what happened next?"

"Vikky, patience now honey."

Jake removed his hand and smiled slightly at the exchange "Sorry boys, this story brings back some really bad memories." He looked at me with a sad smile before going on about the unfortunate end my master had come to meet.

Jake described how the king and his men kidnapped the young girl, she was 16 years old at the time.

"When we found her again, that girl was beaten and bruised, the gross royals and their soldiers had completely broken her down and then thrown her out in the middle of the street for all to see." Jake's eyes slowly closed as he just laid there.

I feel bad for making him remember all of that "Jake, you don't have to continue right now, I just want to know if Kiyoko has anything to do with my current condition... Don't force yourself to tell us everything."

The party leader curtly smiled again before opening his mouth "Good kid you are, aye, think this girl really does have something to do with how you're feeling.
