109 Changes (1/2)

The battle has finally ended as it starts raining again.

I struck my sword down into the ground and sit near the humanoid.

I hear Urika crying next to me.

”We got the general and tied him with magical ropes.” Bob says to me. ”So Kapiko was usedas an experiment for this thing...” Bob says.

”My brother...” Urika says as tears fall down her cheeks.

”You can cry all you want but his not going to be coming back.” I say. ”Hey! That's cold, you shouldn't say-”

I don't listen to Bob and continue to speak. ”He's definitely in a better place though...” I say as I look at the dark sky. ”I am pretty sure about it.” I continue.

”I don't feel like I have a purpose to live anymore.” Urika says.

Bob feels sad.

”Jeez, stop with your suicidal thoughts.” I say. ”You're still too young to even think about something like that, you still have a long life ahead of you. So stay alive because your brother wouldn't want you to die.” I continue and pat Urika's head.

Both Bob's and Urika's eyes widen.

3 years ago,

”I...Can't go...On...” I was on the verge of death when I met him...

I woke up in an infirmary and saw him seated near me...There he was Caster Daniels...

”Yo! You finally awake?” Caster asked me with a huge smile.

”Why did you save me?” I asked Caster.

”Hey, that's rude you know.” Caster gave me an unsatisfied look.

”It's better I die...I am of no use. I couldn't even save my city from that damn fucker...” I was frustrated...I was unhappy to be of no use even though I have such strong magical power.

”Hmm? Interesting, tell me your story kid.” Caster says to me.

I said everything to Caster about how Riverery took a huge turn when this new general was appointed. Everyone who revolted was slaughtered, including me...

The council didn't do anything because the general was recommended by a paladin.

”Do you really feel like dying for such a small reason?” Caster asked me. ”I am weak...I can't defeat them with my strength...” I said to Caster. ”Then become strong...Don't be like I am weak and I couldn't protect a few people so I deserve to die type of character. I mean look at you, you're just a child. Do you think that you need to die so early on in your life like your some kind of side character in a novel or something? If that's the case you need to understand that everyone is a protagonist of their own life.” Caster said to me.
