201 sympathize (1/2)

Ares lays on the ground lifeless, Tanya walks up to him, sits on her knees, grabs and places the head of Ares on her lap and brushes his hair while her tears keep rolling down on the face of Ares.

”It was hard on me Ares, forgive me.. forgive me.. forgive me.” Tanya begs for a few minutes and she then wipe away any traces of her tears from her face and then leaves the island to report the successful plan of wiping out Ares with the whole island.

”He was a monster! An-and I saw the same in this child.” Yang told the captain on the phone.

”We are not able to hear you, hello? Yang?”

”Huh? Hello? What are you saying young captain? Hello?”

The phone call got disconnected. None of them knew what the reason was. No one was able to realize that they are going to get hit by a storm that is never seen before.

*”I have seen a kid that is exactly like Ares. Because I have seen him doing it.”* Yang thinks to himself.

-

A huge loss could have happened that day that would have brought the family of Gus to their graves. Gus is fighting with the evolved wolves to protect Faust and Bella from being eaten. He has already suffered an injury that made his left hand totally paralyzed.

But, the villagers were shocked at the sight of wolves which were torn apart and dissected, they walk up to Gus who has become unconscious and takes him in. One of the villagers hears a rumble from the foot of the cliff, as he and the villagers saw what is below them, they were scared and dazzled. A pride of lions which were guarding Faust are starring up at the cliff towards the villagers, the lions stayed with Faust without harming him and left him like a gift to the villagers and they make their way back into the forest.

*”This truly seem like a work of God, which lion who eats humans, protects the kid from the wolves and has been doing that until help arrives?”* The villagers thought to themselves and takes Faust, Gus and Bella back to the village to treat them.

Before they realised that the lions protected them. Only Gus saw what had happened and he told to Yang about it.

”Grandpa!” Faust who suddenly wakes up with a fright, tries to open his eyes slowly to see if he is alive or in a dream. He feels as though he is flying in the air, his body hasn't touched the ground like he thought he would when he fell down the cliff from the push of Gus. He can feel the cold breeze grazing his cheeks and so he thought he must be dead and his spirit is floating in the air- *”ah I must have died due to the hard fall and I'm in afterlife”* Faust thinks to himself and he once again closes his eyes believing his once happy life is over.

*Chirp chirp~~*

*”Huh? It somehow feel so good, the smell of damped earth combined with old fallen leaves and the sings of bird, is this heaven? It is so calming and comfortable here.”* Faust muddles and opens his eyes to hear for the beautiful sound of chirping birds. He wasn't expecting the sight he saw once he open his eyes, he was hanging from the vines of trees. The vines coiled around his limbs making him feel like he was floating in the air, his eyes watched the green leaves rustling in the bright sky swiftly.

The clothes that Faust is wearing have been shredded and blood drips due to his fall into sharp branches and he was held by the vines of the trees without hitting the ground.

*Awhoooooo!! awhoooooo!!*

*”What is it? What is happening?”* Faust comes back to his senses panicking and watches in the direction of the sound, his eyes seem lifeless as he sees two wolves running down the cliff and howling as if it's a signal to the pack of wolves on the rocky mountain that they have discovered the location of Faust.

*”I see, it's basically useless trying to run away now, I was so stupid and useless today. I don't want to create anymore chaos. I'm tired of running.”* Faust thinks to himself and closes his eyes as he accepted his fate with the wolves without intending to even fight again for his life.

Being an introverted kid Faust never stood up for himself, he always put below everyone and belittles his own self. No matter the situation he still apologizes to whoever he is talking to and takes the blame onto himself rather than blaming other. He accept what comes his way as his own fault and hence he closes his eyes waiting for death, letting the wolves do what they want with him since he is too tired to try and run and change his destiny.

*Thud~~*

*Thud~~*

The body of Faust seems to resonate all of a sudden as if someone is thumping him to wake up.

The wolves who were happily charging towards Faust were stopped in their trace suddenly as they faintly sense a weird aura forming around Faust. The wolves cower right away as though they have come across something they shouldn't have.

*swisshhhh!!~*

The vines around the the limbs of Faust were sliced into tiny bits and Faust lands on the ground facing towards the wolves while his eyes are still closed.

”Why won't you creatures just won't leave me alone?” Faust says in an innocent naive voice as his head tilted to the side. The atmosphere around Faust gets uneasy, the winds are increasing. The birds in the vicinity flies away leaving their nests and all the other small animals and deers run away from the presence of Faust as if a calamity is heading their way.

Even the rest of the wolves and Raka on the cliff were stopped in their traces of toying with Gus and watches towards the direction of Faust and the two wolves.
