RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~END~
“What if I cannot keep my promise?”
“No, I believe you,” Yoki forced his head to glance at Kenichi who was lying on the ground, “Look, Kenichi's death face who was satisfied with his smile. Sure, whatever the request you have granted.”
Those words had entered Gaia. Yoki just wanted to talk, he just took it from instinct. But wherever the source, the words, the words, the words, are a series of letters that are so beautiful to Gaia.
Look, slowly Gaia turns into the teenage girl Yoki once knew. The sailor-type school uniform that Gaia last wore, was also a facial expression that had given Yoki peace of mind.
The blood that depicted the horror had also disappeared, along with all the changes that had occurred. At the end of his life, Yoki was able to save Gaia. Although short, but he was so happy. Eventually, he was able to save a precious person, even if life became a payment.
“I think I'm just jealous of me. Happiness, friends, if I ever got it when I was a kid.”
Yoki's hand stroked Gaia gently. The tears of the two are united, looking at each other, in joy and sorrow together.
“Why don't you feel his happiness?”
Suddenly a kiss came to Gaia's lips.a soft kiss, a characteristic of the person who had always been with her. Although she was surprised, she also really enjoyed the kiss.
“Since long I want to say this, I ... love you.”
At that moment Gaia's pain came. That speech has become the speech that accompanies Yoki's death. Now Yoki's body had already completely become an empty shell.
Gaia's remorse came at this time, although the blessings of gluttony were still there, but Gaia's heart was far more powerful.
It's true, he's become like before. But what does he want to remember now? The bodies of his two dead friends? Of course, nothing can be remembered.
Who goes with him to school? Who will accompany him at school? Then in the end, who would accompany him home now?
The answer is nothing, he has nothing left. All the memories have been exhausted, at first glance he recalls the book he once told Yoki and Kenichi.
“So, this is the feeling of the main character when all his friends die ... well?”
Gaia's head stared at the moon above. He cursed everything that happened to him. There, too, Gaia's heart and mind were making reflections. As a result, there was one thing that he realized ..all of it, happened because of his existence in this world.
“Ironized? I have always been shunned by others, I have always felt lonely. Even ...,” was stopped by sobs, sobs that deepened to stab his heart, “Master of fate did not want to accept my happiness.”
Well, it's very ironic, Gaia never got happiness from childhood. Even if you mention that Gaia's happiness lies in all her vile deeds, perhaps, it is not true happiness.
Yeah, basically Gaia is like a lost little girl. Just like Yoki thought, Gaia needed the light to return. Only the teenager knows, and only he wants to be the light.
Gaia's aware. But, the one thing Gaia could not accept was Yoki's death. He did not expect that the light would also be the last light of Yoki's life.
“Why?”
From the moon, Gaia's gaze returned to Yoki. Yoki is released from his arms and placed near Kenichi. Heart ached, his eyes hoping to see Yoki and Kenichi's eyes open again. But, never will. He realized that hope had been lost, now all he could do was mourn the departure of the two of them.
“Yoki .. stupid.”
Indeed, Yoki's death was so foolish, so naive, so selfish, so reckless. Well, all the words of sarcasm can be included to comment on his death. But the question is, is Yoki's death meaningless?
No, Yoki's death was not a wasted death. Life is indeed very valuable, very expensive, even for money people who sit on the throne.
But the teenager. The man whose life is arguably a piece of kara, pitiful and has nothing, gave his life voluntarily for the sake of something called friendship.
Does that mean nothing? No, without realizing it, that will be the cornerstone of their future. Something, called the Abyss as a bond.
“Master, what are you doing? Where .... where is Orthus?”
There came a dog shaped figure. He bullies Gaia who is lamenting the departure of Yoki and Kenichi. If viewed based on its characteristics, you must think that it is not an ordinary dog.
Just look at the physique, maybe a kind of herder dog breed, but what makes it different is the size and the head that amounts to three. Even dogs that can talk, certainly not strange.
“Dia ... is dead because of my actions. Cerberus.”
“She's back to her father, she's calmed down there.”
“Then, let's go back .. my lord.”
“Sorry, but I will never return like myself in the past.”
That answer is what makes Cerberus' teeth bluff. From all three of his faces, only anger was stirred out.
“Basic! You think .. You think that I, Hydra, and Orthus did just for a futile death like this. Nah! Please my lord, come back. I don't know what to tell my dad later.”
Gaia directly slammed her head. He looked into Cerberus's eyes. That fixed gaze had made Cerberus remember something.
He was familiar with this gaze and aura, hence his eyes sparkled at the beautiful sight. It means only in the vision of Cerberus, if ordinary people are ordinary.
“Are you ...”
“Well, I already know myself. That's why I thank Orthus and give it back to your father. Now that you've got what you want, even I'm sure that Echidna is back.”
Cerberus's delight continued to overflow. He did not expect that what he and his brothers did was not in vain. At least, their master had remembered everything.
“So .. You already know everything. About that contract and agreement?”
A smile has been the answer to Cerberus. Cerberus's delight was not overbearing, displacing deep sorrow at the deaths of his brothers Orthus and Hydra.
“So, what is your decision?”
“I will leave my past and live in this peaceful future.”
He said as he glanced at Yoki and Kenichi back. They both died with a smile, it felt like two sleeping people were dreaming.
Well, that's what makes Gaia not want to renege on her promise to Yoki, hoping that they can both return to her arms again.
“Are you sure of that ... sir?”
Glancing at Cerberus again, Gaia was ready to answer the question.
“Ya .. and my last command, as the daughter of the rightful ruler .. I, Elysia o’ Astaroth command you to return to your father.”
“Why? Wh why? But, alright if that's what you want,” the three heads of Cerberus bowed respectfully. But the tears that come out are also clearly visible to anyone,” In that case, I as one of the guards will obey my master's orders.”
A gleam of light enveloped Cerberus' body, slowly being engulfed by the light. When it was three-quarters of the part that had been absorbed, Cerberus again looked at Gaia with a pitiful look.
“But, do you still remember the purpose when you committed that great sin?”
Cerberus' body disappeared, meaning that the question could only be answered by Gaia herself. But alas, even the expected one did not know the answer. Gaia was only speechless because of the question posed by Cerberus.
“A-what does it mean?” For a moment he held his head to think about Cerberus' question, but it ended in vain, “Ah. I don't want to live like I used to, now I want to start hi....”
Gaia's mouth stopped as she looked back at Yoki and Kenichi's dead bodies. The murmur was back on his head. Unknowingly, the murmur had reined in his heart and mind.
“I don't think I deserve to live in any world.”
With a wavering feeling, Gaia bent her knees and looked at her two friends who were gone. His legs were lethargic, he was already not strong enough to sustain all the deeds of the past.
With his strength still remaining, he lifted and carried the bodies of Yoki and Kenichi.
Well, the power is still there, even getting bigger. But as for the spirit of life, it might have run out there was nothing left in his heart. His hands just shook while carrying the bodies of Yoki and Kenichi.
Along the way, he continues to be haunted by his two friends. Until what was in his eyes was just a blank stare.
