23 Luduan (2/2)

BOOM

Luduan swiped hisright paw, Arvan was flying like a canonball against the wall, he was spitting blood.

”kids...run...” said Arvan weakly before he closed his eyes.

Raven and Elisa saw it all happen and were frozen, they stood there, they had immense fear.

”Don't worry he isn't dead...yet, I can't believe he dared to bring intruders here, in my home..” Luduans voice was deep, echoing throughout the cave.

”Now to you two...” Luduan was ready to swipe Elisa like Arvan, but before he could do it Raven instinctively stood in front of Elisa, getting hit by Luduan.

Luduan opened his eyes wide.

'this kid...'

Elisa screamed from the top of her lungs ”RAVEN!!!” she disregarded the beast and ran towards the feebly lying Raven on the grond, his head was injured, blood was everywhere.

”i-idiot...why...didn't you...ran..” Raven coughed up blood, his vision was blurred, he wasn't sure if it was from the injury to his head or Elisas tears.

Elisa held his hand against her cheeks, crying and crying, it was very heartbreaking.

Luduan watched this whole scene with interest, he never once saw something like this, crying for someone, sacrificing one owns body for the other, he could feel the truth behind their feelings, it reminded him of his mother, he saw Elisa and saw himself.

”Wah...Wah...because of me... Don't leave me yet mother...im not ready to be alone..”little Luduan cried and cried.

”Luduan...Don't be sad, someday you will find friends, did mother ever lie to you? Don't be angry at the tribe, they are just like us...earning for freedom...Luduan promise me that..”

”Wah...wah..I promise I promise, dont leave me!” cried the little Luduan.

The mother couldn't help but think of her sons future and cry...her body began to disintegrate into light slowly.

”Good child...” Her forehead was touching his forehead, resonating silently through the mountain. Her tears, slowly fading into nothingness, only the crying little Luduan remained.

”Luduan...Mother will always love you...”
