57 The Final Goodbye (1/2)
Before receiving the heavy blow, Leo quickly added his air armor around his body to cushion the punch. However, he was still sent flying until he hit the wall made of rocks behind him. Slipping into unconsciousness, all the events that he went through until now started to flow in.
Memory after memory began to surface in his mind as time seemed to stop entirely around him. First it was when he faced a monster for the first time, then the goblins, all the way until the training in the city with Noah. These memories were very small compared to the last one that popped into his head.
”Sweetie, did you eat enough today? You must eat so that you can grow into a fine adult!” his mother called out to him as he saw himself laying down in his dark room. Feeling exhausted and sick of living, he just continued to lay there in the same spot.
Seeing his old self just laying down in a miserable state, shook Leo greatly. This all seemed too real as he looked around the room and saw all his previous possessions. Though not many, they were all seen by him and that is when he turned around.
”Mother? Father?” Leo called out as he saw his parents now standing in front of him. He was now in a white space filled with pure nothingness except for him and his parents.
”We were always proud of you.” Leo's mother said as she walked towards him as she gave him a big hug. Leo could remember this warmth. His mother may have been ill, but every time she hugged him, he could feel a special kind of warmth flowing through his body.
”She is right you know.” His father walking towards him said as he patted Leo on the back. ”Now why don't you wake up now?” he continued while his eyes locked with Leo.
”I am sorry.” With several tears starting to form within his eyes, Leo started to hug his mother tighter as he held onto his father with the other hand forming a group hug between them.
”We understand.” Were the final words his parents told him as their bodies faded away, leaving Leo all alone in this blank space. Closing his eyes, Leo's body began to shake uncontrollably. The level of emotions he was currently feeling, was something that one couldn't measure with mere words.
”Hahaha! Come on now little one, you have more than that, right?” the spider now walking over in a winning type posture called out with an evil smirk on its face. ”Do not disappoint this senior now, otherwise I might just eat you from being let down so hard.”
As it walked over, the spider continued to ridicule Leo, not noticing the changes that were being made on Leo's body. Leo's body started to glow in a dark bronze color, as his eyes changed into a Crimson Dark Red coloring as air started to lift his body up.
”I never got to say goodbye because I was selfish.” Leo said so softly that not even the heavens could understand what he said.
