No.
I won't give in.
Not anymore.
Mother is dead. Gone for good.
I need to snap out of it.
His vital spots.
I have to make sure I don't hit this man's vital spots.
I'll make him talk by using my own methods. I just have to make sure I don't kill him.
I moved.
His arm cut through the space where I was standing and was straight up aimed at Aria's throat.
I quickly retreated to get back on my feet and my firm grip on his wrists just barely managed to stop his attack mid-way. The impact made its way up to my arm, sharp and sudden.
I can't let go now. I won't let go.
And what happened next was something the last thing that would come to my mind while fighting this madman.
His strength is so...raw and uneven.
For a moment, It spiked up. Violent and brash, before weakening just as quickly.
Like something, or someone was controlling him.
Forcing him to move...
I tightened my hold, twisting his arm just enough to throw him off balance. His body staggered, but he didn't fall.
Up close, I could see it clearly.
There was no awareness in eyes.
There was nothing.
Just....
obedience..?
I could swear with my life that I had been seeing these eyes everyday, every moment when she was still here with me.
I need to dig deep.
" Who sent you?"
My voice is steady, so unlike my mind.
The words just fell out my mouth. I didn't ask myself why. I didn't restrain myself.
And I won't any longer.
I will dig deeper.
He froze, as if he was thinking that everything now made sense.
Why the heck is he smiling?
It wasn't a simple one, at that. It was a twisted, empty thing that wasn't made for a human.
" The divine...sees all.."
Just as He said those 4 words, his body jerked violently.
He went limp.
The strength left his body as if there wasn't any to begin with.
I released my hold on him and let him fall to the ground and his doom.
I didn't understood the words He said.
The divine sees all..?
What is that supposed to mean?
Everything ended too quickly.
Something feels awfully wrong and incomplete.
Like I'd saw only a fragment to what there really was.
I slowly try to meet Aria's gaze.
She looked nothing like what she was looking mere moments before.
She had a stern look in her eyes. Lips that were no longer smiling.
I guess I hit bottom rock.
" I need answers, whomsoever you are, Aria."
