The whole battlefield feels tense.
My heart races.
My breathe hardens.
My sword. It is on the ground.
I kneel without arms.
I am without protection.
Everything is going to end.
Fear arises. Sweat drips.
I want to live. I want to win.
I need a way.
"Zeo!", a voice calls.
I turn. It is Prince.
"Don't die!", he says.
His eyes fill with tears.
I roll towards my sword.
I bite the handle. I lift it.
I hold it using my mouth. It is heavy.
I uses my last strength to lift it.
I stand. Johnny turns.
My jaws shiver.
"So, you are going to fight again!", he says.
I can't reply. Because my mouth holds the sword.
He steps forward.
I believe myself. I don't have my arms, but I have my skills.
I dash with my highest speed potential.
Wind is the only resistance.
He slashes. I vault.I pivot in air. I swing my sword by my head.
My sword severs his head.
Blood sprays.
He falls. Blood fills the ground.
My sword falls on the ground.
I stand confident. Everyone stands.
I see fear in their eyes.
"I already knew, I will win," I continue, "And I win!"
I laugh.
John walks towards me.
Tears drip from his eyes.
"He promised me," he continues, "I won't let you!"
He rushes towards me. He draws his sword.
The moment seizes him.
His head severs. Red drops fall.
My heart beats. Someone touches my head.
I turn quickly. It is Auron.
"You did it!", he says.
I smile.
I turn around.
"Where is the book?", I ask.
I notice someone runs with the book.
"The book!", I shout.
Prime man dash towards the man.
He cleaves him.
Prime takes the book and walks towards me.
"Zeo! Here is your price!", he says.
He gives it to me.
But I can't receive.
"Sorry!", he says.
"Finally! I am going to learn regeneration.", I say.
Prince steps. First time, I see happiness in his face.
"We have to move before the soldiers arrival!", Auron says.
We walk back to Auron's house.
Two days later...
Silence feels the Dojo.
I am alone here.
My only companion is the book.
I open it using my head.
The text looks very old.
The pages are cranky and yellowish.
"I will learn everything from this book!", I say.
A new hope arises.
A new fire burns in my heart.
I start reading the book....
