Chapter 405 - 405 Death of Loved Ones (1/2)
Ketan took the two to the Medical ward with Brielle showing him the way. ”Thank you, Brielle. You have a duty to help Leo and I have a duty to go check on Kitty again. As a bearer of the element, I am bound by the rules. Be safe.” He left her and went back to Kitty.
Kitty was sitting in the middle of the pond holding Rex. ”With you joining us Ketan that makes it easier. Berith, you have been alive for almost a million years. You watched and guarded the world alone. I know that your element bearers perished one after another once they decided to no longer live anymore. It must have been heartbreaking but you stuck around and had my mother. I will never forget having you in our lives.”
Yuki stayed off the water but placed a hand inside at the edge. ”Berith, you were there for me as I grew up and helped out Cedric a few times. I will never forget your kindness. May you finally be at rest old friend.”
Cedric placed his hand in the water. ”Berith, when I first met you I'll be honest... I hated you to my very core but as time went by I learned a great deal from you and now I will mourn your passing.”
”Berith, you were a good friend to all of us and even helped guide me when the timing was right. I am sorry that I was late. The two hunters you protected are injured but they will survive. I swear to you that I will protect your Kitten.” Ketan kneels down and places his hand in the water.
Coughing Berith looks at each individual, ”the pleasure has been all mine.” He touched Kitty's cheek, ”Kitten, I know that this will be hard on you but take the last of my essence and live on for this cruel world.”
Kitty was crying the whole time and took the knife from his pocket. She brought it to his neck, then sliced the nape of his neck. ”I will never forget you, Berith my Grandfather.” She started to drink the essence and she was going to stop.
Berith kept her drinking his essence. ~Until the very last drop, Kitsune. Please.~
Ketan watched as Berith's body started to crumble and finally all that was left was his clothes. He got up and went to Kitty. ”Leo will be worried about you. We still have our duties to attend to.”
”I-I know… I... just need a moment.” Kitty picked up the clothing and brought it to the edge of the lake and she went back to the middle of the pond and wrote Berith on the top of the water then she cried a little more before walking over to Yuki and Cedric. ”Thank you for coming here and seeing his end. Please come on Friday. I will need your love and support.”
”We will be there Kitsune, the only life bearer. Let me know if you need anything. I will be in touch.” Yuki hugged Kitty then stepped back.
”As Yuki said we will be there, but please know that if you need us we are only a call away.” Cedric hugged Kitty and patted her head. ”My other daughter.”
Ketan stepped beside Kitty and smiled. ”You two go back to what you need to do. I will make sure that this one does not get in any more trouble.”
