"Dad!" Ea ran up to his father, running up hill to greet him.

His Caster father smiled, arms outstretched, red eyes sparkling with life. He was so close, so close...

The Semi-Servant's eyes widened as his father was impaled with a spear. Blood spattered on their clothes, a weak cough from the Caster servant made his heard wretch in agony.

No...No...! Please don't leave me!

The Caster fell with a faint thud, staining the green grass with red. 

A cry tore though his throat, not looking who did it. He was too concerned about the man in front of him, who shared his appearance. This man whom he called his father, just let himself die just like that.

DON'T LEAVE!!!

'What childish thoughts,' He thought, tears streaming down his face as he fell to his knees.

The reality of it sinking into his body and weighing him down. It was like weights being tied to his limbs, bringing him down.

He didn't think he'd cry like this before, but there he was, holding onto his father's fading hand like a life line.

"Please don't leave..."


His eyes opened and he shot up, wiping away stray tears. To his right  wass his Master, sleeping at the edge, breathing peaceful; to his left was his father... Awake.

"You okay there kid?" He asked, alive and well.

No blood, no wounds, no spear. Ea could not help but to sigh in relief.

"I'm fine," he assured,"it was only just a dream..."
