The Truth...

Chapter XXIX

~town 29, Wintercairn~

Nasir's pov

We're in the final town before the capital. I can't believe it. While everyone was sleeping, I went out to the lake and sat out there. I left s note for everyone so they knew where I was. I wrote in my journal as I sat out there. It was so calming out here. The sound of the water gently flowing and moving made me smile.

"Gentleness is one of the greatest things natural can offer a human. Or even a demon." I heard a voice say. I looked over to my right and saw Derek there. "Oh hi Derek." "Hi. Don't mind my venting. I just thought I'd come out here with you. If you need someone to vent to, you can talk to me." He said looking at me.

"Well I already explained why I was out here to Messiah." I said softly. I then explained everything that was going on to Derek. "I see... Well, all I can say is that your life is harder than what my life was when I was 17. My family always put weight on my shoulders because I was the oldest and because I was the only magic user in my whole village. My parents had to keep me at home for the longest time. I never had friends growing up. I guess that's what caused me to do what I did the Augustine..." Derek said softly. "I'm so sorry Derek.."

Raven's pov

I walked over to the lake that I knew Nasir would be sitting by. I stood next to the water. "I know that this will take my life. But spirits! Please listen to me, I want to protect my twin sister. Take my life instead of hers and only make her lose her memory of her daughter and her daughter lose her memory of her when she turns 18." I said, feeling my body grow weak. I fell to the ground and let the eternal slumber take me.
