Episode 12 – The Cost Of Mercy
I hope we will complete our pact.
That was the last thought I had before the chains tightened again.
“Move!”
The guards didn’t give time. They never do.
We were pulled apart before we could even say anything more.
Hands pushed. Bodies dragged.
“SEPARATE THEM ”
That word again.
Why always separate…
I tried to look back.
Just once.
Luna was there.
She didn’t look at me.
Or maybe she didn’t want to.
The door shut between us.
I couldn't have done anything, why am I trying to protect those people?
Luna was right they are criminals to the world, if we tried to protect them we are also named as crimanls.
The sound echoed longer than it should.
For a moment… everything felt empty.
We are separated. Is it a trap by the priest?
Whatever but at last we are not meant to be kept together.
They blindfolded my eyes and I was put up on some vehicle. This is how crimanls were treated but I'm not the one WHYY
It took a while to reach a place,they pushed me to walk in dark.
The guard “mulf this way”
I suddenly nodded him and I moved right, the guard pushed me to the ground and started to kick me until I choke.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The gaurd “how dare a mulf disobey a guard”
I replied “sir I can't see anything, please tell me which side instead of this or that ”
The gaurds didn't even reply me and pushed me to the area and unfolded my eyes. It's a cell and the guards were standing with a big iron rod.
I just kept staring at them, after a moment they started to beat me.
I have tried to grab the rod.
The gaurd “how could you grab my rod with your filthy hand”
They rapidly strike my right hand, I can't even have a energy to scream. After a while they left me in the cell that's the time I noticed that 2 guards only hit me and one is stand behind of them.
I can't even move my right hand. Is it broken?
Why I'm treated like this?
Did the priest literally betrayed us and I'm so dumb to be trusted.
If I was treated like this what will happen to luna,
Luna might be safe she's royal gaurd but…. About Misaki and Scarlett.
If not me they might have ways to die in peace but because of me they might even get raped.
Well luna bruh even though she's a royal guard they will try to harass her like how Lapace was.
If I didn't enter there life they either lived peacefully or died peacefully.
Well what a man I am just a hustle in everyone life, I can't even know what's my condition is but I'm worrying about others.
The cell was fully surrounded by stone not like a modern police jails. But I heard that this kinds of jail were only the crimanls of higher threat will be put, is movies wrong about it?
I thought it was silent but..
Then I heard it.
“Don’t— don’t take it—”
“HAHAHAHA— you hear that?”
“Stop it— stop the—”
I froze.
English.
That shouldn’t be here.
This is not my world.
So why…
There's a small hole on the door I have used to use see. It's not a single cell I can see another cell opposite to me so I guess it's a collection of cells.
But how does people speak English.
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind “did you feel pain? ”
I turned back, I can't see any but when I looked closer there was a man on the cornor of the cell.
I asked him “how did you speak English”
Suddenly he rapidly hits the wall until His forehead was bleeding But he was smiling.
“They took it,” he said.
“They took it from me…”
He laughed.
I tried to make him calm down “hey don't worry I will hear whatever you say so don't hit your head ”
He pushed my head and said “then kill the guards or you die ”
Man seriously what the hell is with him, is he psychopath or mentally ill.
Whatever I should keep distance with him, I think my hearing will be tomorrow or the next day.
Man he never shut his motu
“ You’re new, come closer”
I just turned down suddenly He started to scream.
“They said it will make sense!”
Seriously it's literal time waste to talk him.
I still I can't forget how deceiving the priest was when he said
“You have one wish.”
I leaned back against the wall.
Was that real?
Or was it just something to calm us?
If he meant it—
Why am I here?
If he lied—
Why give hope?
If he can help—
Why separate us?
My thoughts didn’t stop.
They kept circling.
Again and again.
“…thinking too much,” the man said.
I didn’t reply.
Because he was right.
Night came slowly.
No silence.
Never silence.
Voices everywhere.
Laughing.
Crying.
Screaming.
English.
Broken English.
People who forgot something.
Or lost something.
I sat there.
Not sleeping.
Not thinking clearly.
Just… waiting.
Morning came.
Without warmth.
The door opened.
“Move.”
Chains and blindfold again what I can do.
They chained me and blindfold me and grabbed my left hand and pushed me to the way.
I didn’t look back.
I didn’t want to remember that place.
Same vehicle, when the vechile stopped they unfolded my eyes.
I saw a big building, it was like a Guild hall. So every official building looks similar.
I was put on a room, that's when I was finally feel relived.
We were gathered again.
I saw them.
Luna.
Draken.
Misaki.
Stark.
Scarlett.
Lapace.
Everyone.
Alive.
That was enough For now.
No one spoke at first.
Then Ladon laughed.
“This system is shit,” he said.
“Temple, government… same thing.”
Luna forced her way to me, “did you just start any fight with guards”
I replied her “as if I could ”
She shouted at me “then why do they broke your right hand ”
I just tried to avoid to look her.
She used healing magic on me “it's just a solver level healing magic, don't forge yourself to move your right hand for few days. ”
I just nodded.
Lapace sarcastically “huh strong man who said we won't die ”
After a moment he said in a low voice “we should escape this place, law won't help us. ”
Draken “Lapace was right if not now then we can't ”
To be continued.
