18 Chapter 18: Maestro (2/2)

No one knew why they came, but they slaughtered the villagers, only leaving Doffy. His tears streamed down his face as he held the love of his life in his arms. An unmatched sadness struck a chord within his heart. He wept and wept, yet, the lifeless body in his arms didn't react.

Lost, Doffy found his way back to the piano that rested on a hilltop. His slender and beautiful fingers played a magnificent requiem. The sound seemed to block everything else out, leaving only peace and harmony.

The melody seemed to tell a tale. How he met his love, how he loved her, and how he missed her. The world was cruel, and so his music adapted. Even when his stomach grumbled in protest, or when the whispers in his head told him to stop, he never relented.

Like this, days went by, and his body slowly collapsed. No food or water, he kept playing until he breathed his final breath. He did not seek vengeance, no; instead, he decided to wallow in his own sorrow. He died with no one to mourn for him, no one to remember him, and no one to appreciate his great composition.

”Don't waste your damn talent, boy! Get revenge, show the world your story, don't become complacent! What the fuck are you doing?” Wilhelm roared from inside, but to no avail, the young man died with a happy smile on his face.

”How can you smile? Are you okay with such a life, a life filled with nothing but sorrow?” he protested. However, the dream ended, and Wilhelm could once again feel the aches all over his body. The musky air and dark cave presented itself.

He could once again feel and move his body according to his will. He stood up in a hurry and could feel a moist feeling on the right side of his cheek. Shocked, he rubbed it with his hands, only to feel a trail of blood exit his right eye.

”Tears?” Wilhelm whispered under his breath as he inspected his slender and sublime hand. As if it was perfectly sculptured by a master mason, nothing could compare.
