Chapter 20: VOLUME 3 : CHAPTER 1: MY DECISION

CHAPTER 1: MY DECISION

 

I lifted up my index finger and touched the warm drop of water that was dripping from my left eye, tracing down all its way through my cheek, then the side of the mouth; it fell on a white cushion-like object, in which supposedly I have been sleeping.

Was I crying…?

But what for, I don’t seem to remember!

Where is this place and who am I?

I looked to my right and some figures were moving in front of me. The bright lights that were shining all around me, distorted my vision as they scattered in a disorderly manner on my retina because of the tears.

Seeing them the next thing I felt was a sudden urge to do something. Something that I had been wanting to do and felt so strongly about it. There was nothing too complicated when I think about it. It could be considered ‘easy’ in my vocabulary. It was something that I had been doing for so long, that it felt utterly tasteless.

And yet it was so irresistible.

There was a deep desire to kill those who stood in front of me.

I focused my eyes along their line of sight, to register their appearances. But my eyes started glowing deep red; they were as if on fire. Burning a special mark on my eyes. Something manifested…

Something dark but was much more clear and understandable than the light. The pain didn’t hurt me. The hot flames blazing deep within my eyes did not burn me. I heard a lot of crackling sound. Something was breaking, and torn apart just like I had been feeling since the moment I woke up.

And finally something did shatter. By me, but I didn’t touch anything. So what was it that broke?

And before I knew, all of them fell on the ground and turned into black threads which disappeared soon after. The ashes of the dead were nowhere to be found. The flames of anger were just too strong that even their ashes faded away along with their existences.

Their soul never to return to the land of living again.

I heard a deep metal clanking and some distance apart stood another man in a bold armour, brandishing a long thin sharp metal rod, the tip of the sword aimed at me. I quietly started walking towards him…

Step…step. I tried to walk as slowly and softly as I could and yet my footsteps echoed loudly in this strange familiar place.

To ask him, why does he want to kill me?

 I had not hurt him. This was our first time meeting, then why it is that he is so inclined to take my life. I harbor no ill feelings against him, but I could sense fear and hostility from him.

He was afraid…of me… could that be the very reason for his action. Is that enough to make one kill another…I must ask him.

My blank eyes peered directly into his shallow blue eyes. The pool of fear, the dribbling water like structure, resonated with my memories…

For less than a second that I stood in front of him, I remembered all that had happened from the moment I was reborn in this world. His dead, fear-stricken pale eyes said it all. The one who wronged had the same stench, I could smell malevolence and the sin this person has committed.

The insufferable things I saw. The unspeakable things they did to that little girl. Just go away from my sight. Be gone.

“DISAPPEAR.”

My left hand clad in a blue new-found highly active energy, it went past right through his neck, severing all the thoughts that connected his body and mind. And in a similar manner his existence fell apart and vanished along with the black strings of death. That’s what I could call it then.

I touched my face, looked at my hands and the blood that was spread all over. I tried to wipe it, but the more I tried, the more it spread across the places I touched.

I got so frustrated that I conjured some water and translated that red sanguine fluid into it. After all I could control any element freely, as I wished.

I turned the water, into a concave mirror like shape, and looked at my face. I was taken a bit back; I looked at my two hands, the two feet I was walking on. My slender body and the white long frock I was wearing. The person in the reflection is it me.

And before I realized it, I was already…

A human.

Honestly, it felt so peaceful.
