Knowledge is Dangerous [HaiKaveh]

Chapter 5

[Kaveh's PoV]

I'm losing my time consciousness here. All that surrounds me is the solid walls, the dark ambiance of the room, and the smell of molten iron. I couldn't tell if it was morning or evening.  I just take naps whenever I had a little time and then wake up if I he asked me to do something

I have no clue what's happening outside.

Although Dottore surely knows something since he's in contact with the Grand Sage, I don't think he would talk about it to me either way

The room we've occupied for about a week is now empty. They've sent people earlier to clean up the mess and packed the things he'll need to bring to Snezhnaya

I was lost in thought staring at the rejected piece of a mechanical part that I'd assembled to finally complete the body of The Balladeer. The Fatui provided a lot of technical support, no wonder why they needed an architect to plan out these mechanical equipments

I've spent almost 3 days designing and crafting these parts until I've completely designed a body for The Balladeer's mechanical puppet with the gnosis serving as a constant power supply

I basically helped them in creating a god.

It really seems like I was an accomplice.

And now, I feel bad.

I know it's too late for that, all I can do is regret and wished that I could've made a better decision than this

I heard the door creaks open followed by the mischievous voice "It's already past dusk, get ready for departure"

I paused a second after realizing what he said.

By what he means departure... "So... 3 days have already passed..." I muttered to myself

"Yes"

I rolled my eyes when I heard him answer.

It's now tuesday night according to his plans.

I put down the mechanical part on the table and stood up.

I turned to face him, he was just standing at the back of the door looking in my direction "Are you really serious about taking me back to your homeland?" I asked out of curiosity

At first, I thought he was just bluffing, like a blackmail scheme to keep me here and work under their control. I didn't give a lot of thought when he asked me to come with him to Snezhnaya

"Yes" He answered as he slowly walks towards me

If Haitham didn't make it here on time, I have no choice but to go with him, right?

Then, I would just wait for Haitham to go to Snezhnaya to rescue me?

But would he be willing to go to Snezhnaya just for that reason?

Oh, wait...

Would he be willing to rescue me, in the first place?

When I think about that, I can't help but get sad. A part of me would understand his circumstances. Snezhnaya would be a long journey and there are lots of things he needed to consider before going out of the country but still, a part of me also wishing that he would risk all that for me

Damn.

It's not like as if I'm his top priority so I shouldn't ask for such lengths.

My brain hurts just thinking of the worst scenarios that may happen

Sighs.

I don't know if what I'm feeling right now is loneliness or am i just really losing hope to get away from this fatui mask guy
