Don't blame yourself... You're my friend.

Ekka this is for you and always will be for you

"How strong...?"

"I would say about... Level 100. Attacks are pretty deadly."

"And you're saying I can't beat it? Please. I can beat it with my hands behind my back!"

The long haired man rolled his grey eyes, sure he can. He recently got in an argument with Mikleo, a character in the new tales of game. "Tales of Zestiria". They were friends, but they somehow got into an argument. Though he had to open his mouth and blurt out that Mikleo could never beat the monster in the cave they were standing in front of. And now Mikleo was determined to prove that he could beat the monster in the cave. 

"I highly doubt," the long haired man lowered his voice. "I could do that. You are not strong enough to be able to do that." his grey eyes were locked on the purple eyed sereph. He could sense the anger boiling up inside of him just by every word he said.

"If you won't believe me Yuri. I'll just go ahead and do it myself." Mikleo replied, grabbing his staff and gripping it tightly. His eyes changed to gaze at the entrance of the cave, then back at Yuri. "I'll be right back."

Yuri gave off an unimpressed look as he watched Mikleo enter the cave. He shook his head in disapprovement. "Sure you can." He mumbled under his breath. Turning his gaze away.

Though Yuri's grey eyes widen once he realized what just happened, a stream of panic rushed in his thoughts. He reached out his phone, panting he dialed Flynn's phone number. Holding up the phone up to his ear he waited for his friend to pick up, his grey eyes shifting from side to side.

"Hello? Yuri? This better be important I'm in the middle of a meeting!" Flynn's voice echoed from the other side, though he wasn't very happy about Yuri calling him.

"Damn right it's important! Mikleo challenged the monster in the cave!  You know, the level 100 one." Yuri yelled back.

Flynn seemed to have dead silent, Yuri heard him talk a little bit about something. Then he said, "I'll be coming over there with Sorey and a few others! Sit tight Yuri! And try to kill the monster before it could kill him!"

Yuri nodded in reply, and cut off the call. He placed his phone away and flipped his sword into his left hand and onto his shoulder. Heavily breathing he rushed into the cave trying to find the serephim and dragon. 

It didn't take him long to find the boy leaned up on a wall. He was breathing heavily, bruises all over him.  Mikleo was gritting his teeth as he held his arm. Though his purple eyes widen when the dragon lifted up a claw, ready to finish him off. He looked away, sweat going down his face.

Kaching

Mikleo opened his eyes and looked in front of him. Blinking he said, "Yuri..."

Yuri growled, struggling to block the attack. His sword being gripped tightly in his left hand, his right hand pressed against his sword, blood began to poor out from his right hand as he fell on the ground like a small rainfall. "D-damn!" He cussed, pulling his sword away. 

His grey eyes shot up at the dragon, smoke came out of it's nose angrily. Yuri gritted his teeth, he shot a glance at his bleeding hand. 'Surely I can make it without dying of blood loss.' He thought to himself. 

He shot a glance up at the dragon, his eyes narrowed at the dragon as he ran up to the beast. "I think today is the perfect say that you finally get to do to eternal slumber."

~-~-~-~-~-~

Yuri yelped as he stumbled a few steps back, falling on his but. His grey eyes looked up at the growling monster. "D-damn, you really are strong aren't you?" he smirked, his right eye shut close. The dragon monster let out a roar in reply, opening his mouth to send out a fire attack.

Yuri closed his eyes and smiled. He would much rather die on the battlefield then at an old age. He waited, patiently, knowing Flynn and everyone else would be arriving soon to take Mikleo safely back. 

"Gyaaa!"

Yuri's eyes open, his grey eyes watched in shock as he watched Mikleo fall the ground. A felt of guilt formed in his stomach, he crawled over to Mikleo. "Mikleo! Damn it! I was the one supposed to die not you!"

"Yuri were here!" 

Yuri shot his glance back to see Flynn, and a bunch of other tales of characters arriving. "Alright buster it's about time you died!" Lloyd yelled furiously. Running right beside Flynn.

Yuri gave off a nod, turning his gaze back to Mikleo he began to shake him like crazy. "Come on! Wake up! I don't want to take to blame of someone dying because of my dirty hands!"

Mikleo opened his eyes, shaking his head he placed his hand on Yuri's open chest. "No Yuri. I did this by my own decision. Friends are made to help eachother, even if it led to death." Mikleo drifted his purple eyes to the side. "Besides, I will come back. I'll respawn at some point... But Yuri... You're my friend... I don't want you to take the blame for my death."

"Damn right! It is kinda my fault." Yuri yelled back, but got a furious look from Mikleo in return. 

" Sure, I agree, it is kinda your fault. But Does that matter? I'll be back in around two years Yuri. But I'll be glad that one of my lives were used for helping someone on the battlefield. " Mikleo replied shaking his head.

"Mikleo-"

"Yuri. Goodbye. Thanks for being there for me."

Yuri's grey eyes widen when the serephim before his eyes disappeared into pixels. Yuri gritted his teeth, throwing his sword to the ground. "Damn it!"

Flynn got on his knees and stood next to Yuri, "What happened? Where's Mikleo Yuri? We killed the monster now..."

Yuri didn't reply for a moment, but then he looked up at Flynn. Tears slowly coming out of his eyes as he smiled brightly. "He was reckless and he died. Like a true warrior. And a true friend."

If you guys didn't know. This is dedicated to my friend who had to leave wattpad due to personal issues. <3 I just hope one day she comes back able to read this that I wrote for her. 

I chose Yuri and Mikleo due to she loved Mikleo and I loved Yuri so... It would have made more sense if it was Flynn and Yuri or Sorey and Mikleo but... She loved Mikleo and I loved Yuri so why not.

Yes it's really short... But it was the least I could do for her. 

<3 Ekka if you're reading this one day, please I wanna let you know that you were an awesome friend to me and you will always be on close to my heart.

Thanks so much and bye.
