43 The Cry Of Elric (2/2)

Elric could not utter a word at this scene.

He suddenly felt the familiar feeling of coming back home from the school. Where his only parent stood at the door, waiting patiently and asking him slowly how was his day.

Tears poured out of Elric's eyes uncontrollably.

”If only I did not leave...If only..” Condemnation overwhelmed Elric.

He blamed himself for leaving home despite his Grandmother's request to stay. She was worried and old and only cared about him all along, but he chose to follow his stupid desire and curiosity!

Oh, how he wishes he could turn back time.

But now its too late, Elric is about to witness the death of his grandmother - by his own hands.

She just stood there on the spot. Surprisingly his grandmother showed no fear before his massive dark-dragon body.

Elric could see her eyes full of calmness like the untouched river in the middle of the forest. She just stood, never backing and never afraid.

The more Elric looked at his grandmother, he could not help but cry his eyes out. It might just be a sliver but she must have felt it too.

The ”Lukso ng Dugo” or the Leap of Blood only felt by your closest family member. Truly, her love never fades no matter how dangerous he has become.

”God, please don't make me do this. She is the only family I have!” Elric cried in helplessness. With every little strength he has, he was willing to bet them for just an opportunity to stop himself.

He remembered the Ancestral Dragon that promised him that will protect his family when he accepted the Dragon Essence, he could not help but cursed in his heart.

”Damn you lying Dragon! You promised me you will protect my family! Now, what is this!? I will find you even if you hide in heaven!”

Elric could try to blame, curse, or get mad about almost anything. But nothing can stop the reality in front of him. His menacing Dragon eyes are locked at the old and fragile figure of his grandmother.

”Please God. Stop me. I am begging you!...” Elric begged and cried. He could see his grandmother standing before him and he could not do anything to stop himself from killing her.

The huge and slimy mouth of the Dragon slowly opened. Preparing to devour her.

”God no..no..no... PLEASE!”

His head slowly came closer and closer to his grandmother with saliva and blood mixed in between the gap of his sharp bloody jaws.

”GOD, TAKE MY LIFE! PLEASE! TAKE ME! NOT HER! ME! PLEASE!”

Elric does not want to look at his only family getting devoured, but his eyes and senses are connected to the Dragon's body.

Whatever the creature sees, he could see it too. Every detail, every sound, every taste, and every bite.

Suddenly, Elric could hear his grandmother whisper her last words.

”Is that you... El?”

Elric's eyes grew in shock and tears.

”I have been waiting for you...you little bastard. I do not know what happened to you but..” With a smile that seems to melt his eyes, she added:

”Take care of yourself...”

And right before his huge mouth finally closes...

”And don't forget to wash your teeth before you sleep okay?-”

Shut.
