Legend of the Immortal

A Normal Day

Please...

Stop me...

In ninety-seven years...

I will destroy this planet...

So please...

Stop me...

Because...

I can't stop myself...

Forgive me...

Those haunting words left an impact on everyone.

Sebastian was huddled up in his sheets, his head blanked, cleared of any thoughts.

Within him, a turbulent sea of emotions on a head on collision course with rationality.

He somehow kept his mind in check, not falling to madness even under numerous stressful circumstances.

This was his resilience, his willpower.

Yet, no matter how resilient a man is, time will always be victorious.

He was conscious and rational, just barely standing on the knife's edge.

Just when it seemed all was over, he had hit another road block to his happiness, this vicious cycle has continued to this day.

Nineteen years, he had endured.

Maybe it was time to give up?

It didn't seem like the universe was interested in helping him out anytime soon.

Just let the world die.

Just let everything end.

Right?

If life was so taxing, letting everything end would be considered a favour right?

Right?

"No..." Sebastian mumbled,"I...I don't want to die..."

The devil in his mind grew weaker,"Not yet..."

But was it really worth it?

Not dying, that was.

What if this was the supposed predicted path the true Belle had already set into motion?

Was him questioning it part of the prediction?

If so, what was the right choice?

Was there even a correct option?

Have both choices been accounted for?

What was the point then?

"Even then..." Sebastian's hands bawled into fists,"Even then!..."

There's no point.

"I...Still...Can...Change it!" Sebastian whispered to himself.

Can I really?

You're useless.

You've been unable to change anything, not even your own fate, don't even try to change the world's.

This isn't a fairy tale, you're no hero.

You're a side character.

Sebastian's resolve grew stronger,"No...I can't die just yet. That'd be selfish. To leave Ariana...Lucia...And Belle behind like that."

"I'd never forgive myself if I took my own life so carelessly!" Sebastian yelled.
