6 Freedom (1/2)
Zatiel was speaking and looking at the boy as he notices how this one uses every strength he has left to straighten his head and look back with his only eye left.
As Zatiel looks at the boy's eye he could not help but be impressed for what he saw.
´What an immense will!´
In the state that he was currently, any normal human will have already give up, even some official Magi that take pride in their rationality will surrender to fate, but Zatiel could see in the boy´s eye a will that won't allow him to give up.
´Definitely a good seed, since I have enough material for the both of us I could help him, and judged by what I saw he will have no problem passing the ritual, but still is better to be sure´.
Zatiel continues to stare at the boy for a minute and this one never took his eye out.

¨I am no saint, but since you have made an impression in me and it will no affect me I can help you, I give you a choice, I can heal your wounds but your body is so badly damaged that even then you will become a cripple for the rest of your life or... I take you out of your misery right now,” Zatiel spoke emotionless as he loke at the boy and try to see any change.
After all most people would rather die than become a cripple that can barely move, especially in a world like this where human life was a lot of the time worthless.
Even though the boy was shocked at first knowing that even if he survives he will forever be disabled, immediately that immense will came back stopping him from surrendering.
¨Truly impressive even knowing that your life will be hell, you chose to go on, can I know why you do it?,” Zatiel asked patiently, as he put the boy in the ground carefully.
The boy looks at Zatiel as he gathers his strength to speak.
”I want... to be... free.”
Zatiel was shocked at the answer of the boy, and how those words make him remember something.
...
A lonely figure was atop of a mountain, darkness covers his body making it impossible to see his true appearance, his surroundings were full of dead bodies of all types of species, you could see demons and devil, dragon, even the mythical titans and leviathans were among the corpses. Although this scenario was a testament to his incredible power he knows this was not what he searches for.
Exhausted he looks as his surrounding and he couldn't stop himself from shouting with all his strength.
”I will break every shackle that exists, become so powerful that nothing can restrain me, see how the universe looks once you have removed the blind of your eyes, I will reach the highest peak and feel true freedom!.”
.....
Zatiel could not help but start to laugh as he remembers those aspirations that fueled his path in power.
”Hahahaha, good, very very good, from this moment on you will become my subordinate and together we will search for true freedom together, what do you say?,” Zatiel asked the boy with excitement on his face.
The boy could not understand why someone will want a cripple like him as a subordinate but after a moment he accepted.
