"Any last words?" The voice from the darkness asked as he laughed loudly, followed by a set of laugh from different people.
"Y-Yes." The kneeling man answered and continued speaking.
"A serpent and an apple became one
The guardian of life sprang from the ground
The deep sea growled with rage
Even death bore life
The most cunning became humble
The deceiver became honest
The ugliest turned into something alluring
And the clueless learned about the secrets of creation"
The voice in the darkness suddenly became angry as he shot an arrow toward the man, hitting his chest. In a few seconds, his body slumped to the ground, unmoving.
"Bastard." And just like that, everything disappeared.
. . .
"So? Did you find anything?" A woman's quivering voice asked a man but he shook his head, tears forming in his eyes as he held out multiple crystalline. But to no avail.
The woman behind them is crying hard as she is also holding out twice as more crystalline than the man but it seems like they can't still find what they're looking for.
The door opened and it revealed another man. But he wasn't alone. The three looked at the figures who just entered the room and they immediately ran towards him while crying their heart out.
"No!" The woman and the man cried out while the other woman was just staring at the figures while trying to suppress her loud sobs.
"I'm sorry." The man's voice faltered as he went closer to the couch and putting down the body of an unmoving man.
The group cried hard around the lifeless body of a man.
