(Elijah's POV)
I collapsed on the ground due to tiredness. I sit on the ground, feeling my entire body trembling, with chest pain, headache and dizziness.
I then lie down on the floor. Taking deep breaths, covering my chest with both of my hands, breathing difficultly.
I barely open my eyes, then look around the room, then next second, I see Sogoleri lying on the ground, with his blood surrounding him.
So I did it? I manage to stab him? The leader of Ubidi family?
Did I revenge for Emi?
I try to stand up but then fall on the ground. My legs are too weak to stand. How irony, I, as the member of Ubidi family can't even stand.
"Eli- jah... " I look towards where the voice comes from, Sogoleri. I just stare at him with my empty eyes.
"Did you kill... everyone else? " he stutters. I look down at the ground then nod.
" Did you also kill Sinar? " he asked.
I wasn't strong enough, that's why he protected me from Gile's attack and get injured... then die because of the poison.
" Yes. " I simply answer.
"overused your power... we'll meet... die. "
My consciousness is fading, I can't really hear what Sogoleri is talking about now, all the sound are muffled up. I have tinnitus, I can hear a bunch of noise, ringing in my brain.
I should... go back to Sinar's body before I...
I force myself standing up, leaning on walls, slowly walking outside of the room. My entire body is shaking, I feel cold. My view is turning blurry, my chest is hurting like hell.
After I leave the main family's mansion, there's no more walls from me to lean on. I lost the support so I collapsed on the ground.
I- I can't die yet... I want to see... Sinar... before I go.
I begin walking to where I left Sinar's body. On the way, I've fallen for serval of times, but I just stand again and walk again.
Finally, I see Sinar's body lying on the ground. His pose is still the same as how he was when I left him earlier. My body isn't able to stand anymore, I fall forward and close my eyes.
My body doesn't feel pain anymore, but my vision and turns blurry and muffled, I am not even able to see anything. I forcefully turn my body facing the sky.
The sky is turning orange, it seems like it is time for the sunrise. I difficultly turn my head, looking at Sinar's face.
He looks like he is sleeping peacefully.
I close my eyes and smile, I can finally go and find Emi and Sinar.
Brother?
Elijah!
I already feel like I can hear them talking to me... what an illusion I have before I die...
Come on! Let's go!
I slightly open my eyes, seeing two silhouettes and light behind them, giving me their hands.
Hurry up!
Where?
Somewhere peaceful and doesn't need to kill!
I feel like I can see them both smiling at me, passionately. Then, they both turn around and begin walking to the light.
Wait for me, I'm coming.
Emi, Sinar, thank you both for staying by my side while we were all still alive.
I am...
we are finally free from the Ubidi family...

(???'s POV)
What is the earth happened in the mansion? Why are there so many bodies lying on the ground?
Oh god, I wonder if lord Sogoleri... is alright!
I increase my speed then run into the main family's mansion. On the way, I see blood and corpses everywhere.
Who is able to do this?
*yeek*
I stop as I hear some noice from a room, I walk in then see... father lying on the ground, with blood surrounding him.
" Lord Sogoleri! " I run to him then start shaking him.
He toughly opens his eyes, looking at me.
" Albert. "

(Albert's POV)
" Lord Sogoleri! What happened here? Why is everyone- "
" Elijah betrayed us and kill everyone... he- "
" Lord Elijah? Why will he- " I clench my fists, feeling anger, " I'll capture him and kill him! "
As I gently leave his body on the ground and decides to search for the betrayer, lord Sogoleri stopped me.
" He must be dead... by now... stay Albert... " lord Sogoleri ordered, so I nodded then sits beside him.
" Listen... Family of Ubidi is gone... all the members are dead other than... you Albert. Promise, leave the mansion then rebuild a new assassin family, with a whole new name.
" But... I-"
" I believe in you... my son... Albert... " he said before he closes his eyes and stops breathing.
I look at his body, then bit my lips.
" I swear, I'll definitely rebuild a whole new family. "
