37 Blaze. (1/2)

”Why did you do it?”- Ozul asked while looking down at the young man. He could already guess the reason, but he wanted to hear from the man's mouth.

The man with the dead looking eyes stared at Ozul as he spoke;

”Why? WHY?! YOU ASK!? They all called me a Demon! They all wouldn't accept me! Even my parents! Just Because of this CURSE!”-

The young man crazily began to shout as he pointed to the corpses scattered around him.

”Hm? So, you killed them all?”- Ozul asked confusedly.

”Huh!? You wouldn't understand! You will never know the pain that I had to suffer from the day I was born!!”- It seemed as tho the man had truly accepted his defeat. He continued;

”You haven't seen the stares that even the closest to me gave me! You will not know how I had lived up to this day! You...”-

However, just as he was screaming, he saw something that stunned not even him but also Raven, who stood beside Ozul now!

Why? Because Ozul had a smile on his face! Of course, both of them were dumbfounded when they sew the heavenly smile. Raven was also amazed, now more than ever.

Ten years of living with Ozul and the number of times that she saw Ozul smile could be counted on one hand! And here he was, raising the tally just like that. She could not understand the reason for his smile tho.

The young man was stunned because he thought that the boy before him was just mocking him.

He clenched his fists as he spoke through gritted teeth;

”YOU!... Why are you laughing!?”- The young man would have already killed Ozul if he had the power to do so.

”Hm? Oh! I'm laughing at your idiotic reason.”- Ozul replied, the first time with amusement in his tone!

Ozul knew what those crystals meant. He also knew that he had found what he needed. It won't help him find his answers, but there are other things that Ozul needs help in.

”You say I wouldn't understand?”

Ozul said as he folded over the shirt for the man to see his prosthetics arms and also stretched the leg to show it as well.

”You see these? When I was born, they chopped them off.”- Ozul's sudden statement not only startled the young man but even Raven! Ozul did not wait for anyone's reply as he continued;

”On day one, They were chopped off by none other than my 'Father'.”- He paused to let the young man digest his words as he went wide-eyed. Then he resumed;

”My mother died right after giving me a name... My 'Father' called me a Devil's Spawn the first moment that he saw me.”- Ozul would pause from time to time as he began to explain his past.

His face reverted back to normal. At this moment, Ozul didn't care about who knows about his backstory at all. He was strong enough to protect himself.

It was just that since all these Raven hadn't asked anything about him, he didn't bother to explain! So, at this moment, even Raven was immersed in his painful past as tears were forming in her eyes.

She wanted to find out why would such an otherworldly being be declared as a Devil's Spawn on his birth!

”My 'father' then locked me up in an abandoned barn. No one was there—no one visited me for years. I spent six years of my life embraced in the ever-present darkness.”

”I would have still been there if some bandits accidentally didn't open the Magical Seal that bound me to the barn.”

”Hm!... I don't understand your grief, you say... Can you understand my pain tho?”- Ozul again had a small smile formed on his face as he asked this question to the young man. He still didn't let him say anything and spoke;
