"I vow to be loyal and sacrifice my life to my country." This was the oath he made when he first joined the army. Now here he was surrounded by hateful gazes of his own people for murdering their country's Mother Empress.

"Once you return, come look for me. Right here, at the usual time."
"Hm keep this with you until I return."
Empty promises.
That's all we've made.
My beloved friend, did my existence mean nothing to you?
Are you even the same person I used to meet under the Golden Shower tree?
Was it fun playing with my heart?
Yes, I'm a monster.
I had always been one.
And now, as I watch you walk away to your wife and unborn child,
I have fallen back to the dark pit I had once lived in.

"Destroy my soul." The firm and deep alluring voice said followed by a loud crashing sound and a woman gasping in shock.
"What are you saying?" A husky voice asked, disbelief evident in his tone.
He added colorlessly, "It has been decades and slowly life has become transparent in my eyes. Just a continuous cycle of repetition. In the end there had been nothing I had gained nor lost. I don't feel sad or happy anymore. I'm becoming more and more numb to everything and everyone around me. I do not see the purpose of continuing any longer.

The voices faded into air as I watched the moon shining brightly at a distance, it's brilliance slowly blinding my vision. Soon I was enveloped in a bone chilling coldness that creeps up through my feet and all the way to my upper body. Tears rolling down one after the other as I heaved desperately. My bloody hands and legs dipped into the snow struggling to pull my body forward. In the cold winter, my body was coated in beads of sweat as I crawled pathetically across the snow, a bloody trail leaving behind me. My determined and grief-stricken eyes focused on the body that was a couple of feet away from mine. As I inched closer I heard his quiet voice,
"Why?" was all he asked.
My shaky hands cupped his impossibly handsome and perfectly sculptured face trying to speak but nothing came out as he looked at me with his empty, pitch black eyes.
