21 Good Bye (2/2)
He looked sad as if he didn't wanted to kill anybody, as they too had their own families.
*Meanwhile in Mindoro a couple of hours earlier*
”Mars! the skies rumbling and I definitely heard something big, I doubt a huge bomb is dropped at the shore in the direction of Edward and our men, the place they were camping at.” A guard from Mindoro wakes up Mars by jerking him ranting with a rather surprising news.
”Chiefff!!! Chieffff!!!!! I saw a blast , heavy smoke and I saw the trees and woods withering after the huge blast. Something wrong is definitely going down there. Let me go chief!” Gus who has run here worrisome requests to the already surprised Mars in paniced state.
”Guards! prepare for us to leave, gather all the men in the village, we're gonna head out to our brothers and lend them a hand!” Mars commands his men of what they should be doing immediately.
It's a panic in village. Every family of the warrior that went to assist Caracus along with Ares are in desperation to hear any news from them or to go along with Mars to see what had happened to their loved ones. Mars and the guards had to delay their departure to calm the villagers down.
The wife of Edward stares at the crimson moon while worrying about her husband while the two daughters laid sleeping in her arms soundly. The crimson moon is naturally defined as a sign of massacre in some places, a very bad omen. This makes her even more worried about the well-being of her husband.
”Chief I will be heading out first, I will be fast with my pulleys.” Gus says the words and heads out without stopping to listen to what Mars had to suggest .
”This kid, never listen to us! He is heading out in the dark without worrying about his own safety!” Mars shakes his head in frustration and yells at Gus and sets out to the shore of the battle following the lead of Gus.
*”I'm sure of it, Ares will win, he will be standing and protecting my villagers. Tanya, Albert and Alex used to make fun of me for worrying about Ares. And Yang would keep his grumpy face on and ask me about Tisha. Alrightyyy!! Ares, here I come.* Gus murmurs to himself , unsure of what was ahead of him while he is set on the way to the battle scene.
*”It's now or never, it's finally time for us to end our fued's with Caracus. We will become brother in arms now, everything will be peaceful once tonight passes by.”* Mars thinks about the well being of his villagers and bonds with other villages while on his way not knowing what lies ahead of him.
*Coming back to the shore of battle in the present*
A group of 5 whips with a sharp spearheads tied to their tails suddenly pierces the flesh of Ares from the backside. The whips sprouted from his chest. Ares couldn't help but notice how familiar the whips are to his eyes, It's as if he knew the familiar weapon used many times before by someone who fought alongside him since he became the captain.
