Chapter 396 - Side Story (Dimitri)(2)(unedited) (2/2)
”NO… DON'T!” Dimitri's mother ran towards the door.
”Mother, what is happening? Why is it noisy outside.” The small Dimitri came out while rubbing his eyes.
”Kill him. Kill him now!” The village leader shouted.
One of the villagers readied his bow and arrow and aimed towards Dimitri. When he released the arrow, it fle at the direction of the little boy. When Dimitri was about to get shot, his mother ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
”Ugh…” Dimitri's mother g.r.o.a.n.e.d.
”M-Mother?” Dimitri was shocked. He saw his mother spit out blood from her mouth and dropped to the ground. ”No, mother… mother.”
”My… beautiful boy.” Dimitri's mother c.a.r.e.s.sed his cheeks and was stained with blood. Dimitri saw her clothes were starting to soak in blood.
”No… mother please. Don't leave me.” Dimitri started to cry.
”I… I am sorry that mother will leave you. But please, live.” Dimitri's mother said. ”Whatever others say, you are still my most precious little boy.” After her words, she breathed her last.
”Mother… no, no, no. MOTHER!” Dimitri yelled in pain.
”What are you waiting for? Kill him!” The village leader said.
When the other villager was about to fire another arrow, the ground started to move violently.
”What is this? An earthquake?” One villager asked.
The earth rumbled violently as if it will open a hole on the ground. The villagers looked at Dimitri and he was being surrounded by a black void. He had blank eyes devoid of feelings and he looked their way sending shivers on the villagers' spine. The black void started to spread towards them.
”Ahhh…!”
”RUN!
”We are going to die!”
The villagers ran away to save their lives.
”What are you doing?! You just need to kill that monster to stop this.” The village leader yelled.
The villagers that were caught up with the black void was s.u.c.k.e.d in while they were screaming in fear. Others ran to save their lives. The village leader found the bow and arrow the other villager dropped and aimed for Dimitri. The little boy was still holding his dead mother in his arms.
”I will kill you now, monster.” The village leader said. ”This is also the will of the king.”
But before he can fire the arrow in his hand, he felt his feet being restrained. When he looked down, he saw that his feet were being enveloped by a rock like substance. It is crawling its way up his body, as if he is starting to get petrified.
”No, stop this!” The village leader said. He shot the arrow towards Dimitri but before it hit the boy, a black swirl came out from the void and stopped the flying arrow.
”No… no, no NO!” The village leader yelled. ”You monster!”
The rock started to envelope the whole body of the village leader from feet up. He was screaming until the rock envelopes his head and whole body.
Dimitri was left with his dead mother in his arms. The black void started to retract back to him slowly.
”I will live mother. I will not let anyone trample on me ever again.” Dimitri said.
The black void swallowed Dimitri's dead mother slowly until it vanished. Dimitri was now alone in the dark of night. The cold wind started to blow in silence.
