Conqueror of the Sixth Path

Chapter 21: Remnants of the Past

  What happened when you left the clan?

- Gella. Dear Hella. Dear Hella. My...Gella.

Your name and its variations echoed in your mind.

A cold breath touched your neck, took its roots deep into your back.

- Hella, you understand that all this is useless, right?

If your eyes were closed, then you could tell by the intonation that he was smiling.

The sound of footsteps began to round you, and now he is already standing in front of you.

He approached.

Grabbed you by the chin, shortening the distance in front of you.

His cold, inanimate fingers squeezed your skin harder, forcing you to clench your teeth.

You didn't open your eyes, you didn't want to see his evil, night-black eyes.

- You understand that, right?! "Stop it!" he shouted.

After his words, there was some liquid on your face.

A nasty, nasty feeling has shackled you.

- Do you understand?! - he continued. - Remember: you will not find your brother! You won't find it!

- I know...Dark.

He roughly released your chin.

- You know?

- I know. Because...he will find himself.

The man began to burst out laughing.

- Are you serious now?! - he said with a laugh.

-...

You didn't say anything, not wanting to answer him.

- If you don't want to answer, then you are not sure of your words! - he proudly declared and turned away.

- And you are not sure of your actions. - you said.

- ... - the Dark One turned around to look into your closed eyes. - Not sure? Me?!

The wind rushed between you, extinguishing the wrath of the Dark One.

- yes. - you said it briefly and emotionlessly.

- What makes you think that?!

"You never attack yourself. All you do is throw out small groups of warriors. Professor Kunth, Logan and Percy are proof of that.

- Yes, you...this is just the beginning!... - he began to choose his words. - Don't worry. Everything is still ahead! - the Dark One broke into screams.

- You see. - you smiled at your victory.

- What?!

- You're not steady. As soon as they find a mistake in your actions and deeds, you immediately begin to justify yourself.

- You say: I'm not sure of my actions?! Good...then look.

A snap of fingers and voices were heard.

- Hella!... - a guy ran up to you, whose voice began to tremble.

- * Ethan...*

BANG!

A flash of light blinded your closed eyes.

BANG!

BANG!

Bam!

With a dull sound, something fell on the stone ground.
