Project Schemer - Salvatore Trilogy: Prelude

Arc 2 - Epilogue: Beautiful Emotion.

"A deal you say."

"We cannot exist at the same time and the same places even he still tried to find a way to brought me back, maybe Edolin will have a way for that. But i don't wanted to."

"We are talking about your existance you know that ?"

"I know but on the battlefield, i can switch place with him and protect him, when we held court, i can leave him my messages, sometime people need to learn to embrace the pain to live on. I don't want my child to live in a delusion of a past where i played with him the garden, i need him i learn and accept the fact there is no other solution. The death can't and won't return."

"But you still live right ?"

"In a way, the point is i don't want my son to waste any resources on the effort to bring me back to this world, i am fine with the way everything is happening right now. You can say, i am satisfied with this reality."

"Yes, my emperor, a foreigner but you are still an emperor even you are no longer on your throne. You can say, i admire those who protect those they love even they are no longer in the world, alright i accept your deal but why don't you tell him ?"

"You think i have enough of courage to tell him that. Imagine the pain he has to bear, i want you to distract him from all the pain, to made him focus on solving current problem."

"Then i accept your deal."

But there are still something else, so the world he made for me is a fake world, i need more information about my past memories, i need to know more about Altoris. Everything about that realm is nothing but a thin mist covered in my mind, no matter how hard i tried to remember, there are missing parts. Something inside of my mind i need to remember, something i need to learn about for i can't accept to let go this humiliation. For the first time i learned this negative emotion, the desire to inflict pain on those people who humiliate me, i look for Sou.

"Sou."

"You have a lot of question i believe."

"Of course i have a lot of question but now... i only have one question, what is the thing inside me ?"

"The thing inside you a chip allow the people of WORLD to control you and from that, control your friends."

"Tell me, what they made me do when they controlled me ?"

"..."

"Tell me, Sou, i need to know, this curiosity, but something else inside me. Tell me Sou or this flame of anger will burn me, i am scare that i can't forgive you if i found the truth on my own."

"Alright, i will tell you that, but you must remain calm no matter what."

So Sou gave me the story i wanted for so long, the truth, how they used us to do their dirty works, how they entertain themselves while we risked our life, how they used me to amuse them. But Sou i am sorry, after know the fact that i am used like this by them, i made another promise to myself, this time i won't back down from all the shame they put me and my friends through. Only thing inside me right now is just pain of remembering my past, what they put us through i can't simply forget all those thing. 

"I knew this would happen, yet i am powerless to stop what unfold in front of my eyes, powerless to stop you from harming yourself. Watching you turning into my worst fear, powerless once again."

"But will you give up on him ? We will never give up on him so will you ?"

"Tomoe, Flour."

"We won't give up on him, so do you want to give up on him ?"

"I would never."

"Then let's free him from this nightmare."

Pain and humiliation devour me, i don't want to see anymore, i don't want to hear anymore, i don't want to speak anymore. Everything i ever wanted is their pain, a negative emotion yet i felt it is one of the nature, i felt a voice inside my head, tell me it is fine to feel like that, it is nature to felt like the world is crumbling around you. That the feeling of despair is natural, it is alright to feel hatred toward those cause you pain but i open my eye, all i saw is a scene i never wanted to see again, i am hurting them, my friends with this rule to create beautiful arts. What is happening to me but i saw something else, even no matter how many time i defeat them, they stand up again.

"Help...me...... No, stand on my on own feet and discover the truth. Along with it, the truth will never let me doubt my decision again, no matter what you are, voices in my head, i never fall before you again. I have my own conviction and never lose it again."

"So you decided to against me too, after i open you eyes to your emotion you tried to hide away."

"No, i am not hiding anything, i am just a blank child learning new thing and you, you try to use a child for your own purpose. Let me guess, a remnant of the thing WORLD left inside me to allow them to control me, in this world, you are powerless. Creation itself."

I am not alone, i accept those emotion but not drowning in those negative emotion and move toward a bright future. I accept my painful past and those painful emotion, shame and humiliation and from those pain, i move forward to a brighter future. The pain is something nature in our heart, the sorrow we felt, the shameful moment, that is also another part of life and there is nothing shameful in that. I afraid of these negative emotion, at the same time, i felt pity for those who felt like that, they missed so many thing in this world.

"I am no longer a puppet or a prisoner of yours, from this moment i declare my own freedom and if you can contact those people, tell them this, Soleil declare war and then this whole continent will brought you all on your knee. No why do i need them to know, you belong to me too."

A parasite created to control me, now will become my weapon, for the preparation we need to make for the future, we can't let them find out that we are here. Even the smallest clue, to fend off WORLD from this dimension, i need the help from everyone, every continent we all need to stand up and fight against them. They won't stop until the moment they drained this world dry to stop their march is a must, never let them do this again.

"I accept the past that i killed countless people, and commanding my friend to s*******r reduce everything to ashes but this time, i must stop everything from happening again."

I opened my eyes once again, look above i saw Flour looking at me with his eyes shine like star, on my right side is Tomoe using his power to brought me back while Sou is nowhere to be found. Flour told me that Sou returned to the castle to let Alria and other nobles know about the approaching threat. Next morning, the WORLD's elite is executed, but the storm remain at the horizon, now we need to unite, to become stronger as one world. To do that, we have to solve the problem in Soleil first. There will be a lot thing need to be done and now, we are just here to place our first stepping stone.

"Now we change our objective from living a peaceful and miraculous life to protect a world ?"

"Well, i wouldn't say that but i need to do the right thing, i believe i can found them again if i continue this path."

"Do you think they can saved ?"

"Not sure but i will keep my head high and using this power to shaping my own future, that is my rule afterall, the rule of creation."

"You know you are not alone on this path right ?"

"No, i have everyone, i have you, Sou. I have Flour and Tomoe always stay by my side to protect me, the nobles to fight along my side, Alria as a new friend and most of all, i have Edolin as nation of power to help me in this great war we are facing."

"The storm at the horizon..."

"And we will stop it this time, i am no longer blind anymore."
