Tenkai Knights: undead rise - Aftermath

Inner issues mark the road ahead

Maggy stood up straight as Guren walked to her calmly. Tho Guren showed mostly no sign of intention to harm, Maggy was still on edge anyway.

After all he is her biggest threat. Yes he used to be cheerful with a clear sense of mercy and justice. But it was all clouded as his mind collapsed in on itself, and body broke under the weight he willingly endured.

"Our minds are not the same. Chooki, Toxsa, even Ceylan try to deny their inevitable breakdown. They've begon to feel the same thing I felt, hear the voices, the screams, the agony! The thought of being fine and insane at the same time! Their minds slowly shift to chaos and madness!"

Guren took a deep breath, from his sudden change in pase and tone in his speech. All while memories of his total collaps flooded his mind.

"They take to dive into a sea of insanity. Seeking solitude and resolutions only to find uncertainty and stress. I can't stand to see the like this... To witness them go down the same road I did..."

Guren's eyes glittered with sympathy and regret, as he looked up to Maggy.

"I wish it didn't have to happen like this...... I'm sorry..."

Guren's voice was now quiet. Clear tears fell from right eye and crimson fell from the left. He was still recovering from his battle with his own mind, only making this experience worse. Maggy hugged Guren patting his back. Guren quickly hugged back, feeling a strong comfort from her.

"It's alright Guren. It's not like you could control the out come of this. You had a responsibility. A huge one. I can't even begin to imagine." Maggy said softly

Guren silently cried his breathing becoming forced. A few more minutes passed, before he calmed down. He pulled away wiping his eyes.

"T-Thank you." Guren stuttered

"Anytime." Maggy said

"Sometimes I hate the feeling of my heart. I grew too comfortable with my nonbeating heart. Thinking there was no hope for us... To think I was so wrong." Guren said

"We all make that mistake at one point. Losing hope is nothing new." Maggy said

Guren once again looked at her, this time with soft innocent smile. He opened his mouth to say something but...

"NASH!!" Gen's voice boomed

Guren looked at Gen his smiled completely gone.

"Gen why are here?" Maggy asked

"Because this psychopath set three rooms a fire! Our room included! None of us had time think before we got spilt up!" Gen yelled furiously

Guren averted his gaze trying not to cry again.

"Gen please! He was attacked! I was attacked! And how exactly was he supposed to know where we were?! I know you would do the same!" Maggy shouted

Gen was taken aback but calmed. Maggy rubbed Guren's shoulder.

"Guren, what are supposed to expect? Is Gen going to......" Maggy trailed off

"No. Gen and I went done that road. But that still leaves four. I bet they've suppressed it many times. But they can't keep it up. I know. I've tried." Guren said seriously

"Then we all need to leave. Hopefully Beni and Ceylan will last a little longer than these two." Maggy said
