Chapter 151 - 140 (1/2)

'HOW DARE YOU!'

'I just stated the truth.' I say, managing to separated my own thoughts from his as he loses control of himself.

'HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SUCH THING! H-HOW CAN YOU….!' I close my eyes at that point, feeling overwhelmed by his screams and thoughts, his mind attacks piercing my skull with long metal needles.

'How are you allowed a different ending?! HOW?! After all these years, waiting, searching, I still could not see him! No vengeance brought peace to my heart, even this rebirth did not bring him back, and WHY?! Why are you the only one allowed to have a different ending?! HOW?! This is unacceptable, unforgivable… '

'It is all his fault…' He says, rambling in a mad dash of words. 'That elf of yours, is his fault! If he did not used that magic, if he did not used that rune and brought us back, I may had a chance! But now is gone, is all gone, he doesn't exist in this world, in this reality, all gone gone gone!'

'I won't allow it, I won't. I won't have happy endings here, if he is not back, if I'm the only one left to suffer, then I'll destroy you all! None of you will be allowed happiness, none of you will live! I will destroy this world, let the void consume it, there will only be nothingness left!'

This is the point where I discover that Cain, the Demon King, is truly mad.

'And I will start with you two.'

I cannot digest his words in time when the once turbulent view comes back on, but what I see makes me freeze in place as cold sweat coats my back and a crushing terror coils its way around my heart, suffocating.

For I'm not looking through the Demon Lord's eyes anymore, nor I'm seeing his memories, but I'm gazing with my own eyes up above in my Terror form, staring down at something under my paw.

And as the paw is lifted, his image comes to view.

Crushed, ragged, coated in so much blood that is hard to tell how many injures he has at this point, on how his silhouetted, plastered on the floor, doesn't seem quite… right, on how I can tell that he maybe be injured pass the point of... recovering from it

On how even his blond hair is coated in red, and how his golden eyes are filled with pain as my paw crushes his insides.

Leonel!

He moves to look at me, as if hearing my voice, but the Demon King does not allow it and kicks him to the side with my own paw, only to stop him from rolling away with my other paw.

'No eye contact! No goodbyes! You are not allowed to say goodbye, just like it has been denied for me!'

The sadness and pain cave a hole inside, but that pool of emotions soon starts to stir, and the more it filled up, the faster it seems to move inside, all set ablaze as pure fury is fuelled by such emotions.

But time seems to stop when, beyond what Cain had in mind, Leonel still musters the strength to look up at me and, as if looking pass Cain's control his gaze pierces my eyes, and no sadness, no fury, no judgment obscuring the light shining from his golden orbs as he weakly raises his hand, only to rest it on my snout and brush it ever so softly.

”Shh, is alright, don't be sad, it is not your fault, my little hound, I will-”

I was mesmerized by his actions and words, too scared to miss then to even breath, but the Demon King on the other hand though that his actions were atrocious and pushed my paw down even more, taking the air out of his lungs until he could speak no more.

As Leonel eyes close and his hand hits the floor, his like time has slowed down to this moment, all the chaos around blocked as I watch Leonel, Leo, my lover, my love, die under my paw.

”Don't worry Thilgon, there is no reason to be sad, you will be joining him soon.” Says the Demon King on top of my head.
