We Can No Longer Go Back
-----
Kyle looked at the second man standing, his legs trembled with fear.
"What's wrong?"
Kyle asked the man in front of him.
"Wasn't this the monster you wanted to see?"
"Eh?"
"Aren't I… the monster you wanted me to be?"
"No.. I… I was wrong! Please spare my life! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"
The man, who had an useless spirit and no talent kneeled in front of Kyle, asking for forgiveness.
Kyle's merciless eyes looked down at the man. For a fraction of a second, within his mind, the face of Ellergest emerged, and his words.
"You're a good kid, Kyle. Don't let these people affect you."
For that very second, he flinched, doubting himself.
However, he suddenly heard someone lurking behind him. Suddenly noticing an axe reaching his face.
CLASH!
However, his spirit's scythe stopped the axe from reaching Kyle, as the young boy opened his eyes wide open.
"Father…?"
