34 Last stand

Meckenzie was at full speed about to hit the king.

There was full moon and sky looked beautiful.

"I'm gonna kill you!!!!" - screamed Meckenzie

He was reaching towards the King and when he swung his sword. it was mid air when

IMMEDIATELY A SWORD WENT THROUGH HIS CHEST.

He was shocked. for a moment.

he looked down . a sword from downwards.

it was Shuho.

As his eyesight faded, Meckenzie heard Shuho saying

"Loyalty to the King". and then he smiled.

Meckenzie thought and said to himself in his head

"Should've stayed in Business school"

Meckenzie fell. His sword touched the neck of the king. it was a minor cut. king cleaned it with his hand. and was a little disturbed.

"Are you okay my King?" - Said Shuho.

"Yes I'm fine, What about you?"

"I lost alot of Blood. i may not live much longer" - Shuho

"No, we can save you" - King

"it's no use, I dont have energy left" - Shuho.

He fades. looks into the sky and remembers

//

When I was a child. I always wanted to make money. I wanted to earn 100,000 Hektes. of course at that time, Hekte was even stronger than what it is today. I can't remember correctly but it was 0.66 Against the Dollar. I wanted to earn alot

I heard about The Members through a newspaper Ad. It was probably placed once, Because I never saw it again in any newspaper ever.

I applied

Only five people were present. including me, on the interview. probably because the ad had some required guarantees that you have to give. something like; "Guarantee of Death. You will be on the brink of death, you will face death. you will make a lot of money while you are alive. but death will always be there with you"

"Loyalty to the King. Whoever is the King. you have to be loyal to him"

only five people showed up

I was selected. probably because four others left when they saw the preview video of the Job. The scenes were terrifying.

But I stayed. watched the whole thing. I knew that as The member you have to be alert, even in sleep. And death will always be on your head.

I Joined.

"SHUHOOO!!" - King

"I'm still alive" - Shuho

"just hold on, thanks for giving us all information. we wouldn't be here without you"- King

Shuho smiles

"oh and my arm, it's a minor sacrifice" - Shuho

then Shuho smiles and says

"I was loyal to the King. Till the very end"

His vision fades to black. He's no more.
