The forest settled in silence. Pain ate Ace, he escaped from the hands of Sydon but not from grieving. The awful deaths of his loved ones dragged him towards the pit. He wanted to jump, follow them but he couldn't.Light filled him, it was different from the first ambience, but he never felt uplifted. Everything was nearly as worse as his death. How he wished that he died with them.Tears flowed and the rain joined him. The silent clouds roared, it mourned with him. The arbor of the day sky was replaced by darkness. Everything reflected what Ace felt.Drops of rain showered over his body, the young man looked up. He wondered.'Why am I still here?'His family was the only thing he had left. Losing them means losing his life and purpose. Ace felt in vain, the scary fact of futility embraced him like captive cages. He wanted to run but he was too weak. Maybe accepting his fate was the answer all the time.Pier couldn't do anything but to stare at him. He felt his pain, but sadly, right

The sun rose up, its light was delicate. Pier and Ace found no place of where to stay, but tiredness made them settle inside a large cave. The place wasn't comfortable, but their fatigued and worn out bodies took no cares for luxury.Ace lied along with Neo, these two remained attached since yesterday. Nothing separated Neo from Ace's arms. The infant found comfort and loving caress in him.Despite the rising dawn, they did not bother to move. Their bodies still called for rest. The sunlight began to burn and touch Ace's skin but he was still stuck in deep sleep. The case was same with Pier.Chirping birds dazzled with their tune, but along with their singing, Neo cried. Ace immediately opened his eyes to check on him. He rocked him back to sleep, but it was not what he wanted.For hours, the infant was enduring his hunger. None of the two men can produce milk to feed him, another problem arose. Ace just shook his head after getting Neo's signal.Soon as he got from his knees, Ace wok

The day light broke. Pier was merely halfway through his entire journey. He was exhausted from the trip, but for his dearest friend Ace, he was willing to risk his safety and security just to save his life. The tesla bullet was still stuck in his body.Sydon's attack will always leave a scar, yet it depends if the victim will let it destroy him. As of Ace, he was not scared of wounds, he was already bruised in his past. The deep knife of tragedy was stuck in his heart. Kizer was able to ease a little bit of his pain, but it wasn't enough. Ace was still mourning for his mother and brother.Ace was his closest friend. And that's the reason why he's here, venturing deep into the woods.The trek was contuim bituin wontuin lontium unknown to this traveler. He wasn't familiar with the road, yet he needed to continue. This was only his second time visiting the woodland doctor. He was a retired hospital head. For some reason, he gave up his career for the truth that he discovered. Warren left

PainAce raised an eyebrow at him. He grew tough about the Prime and his governance. The young man's mind was made up."Why should I come with you?" He asked with contempt.Despite his hostile treatment, Yvo maintained his angelic face. His response was calm, perhaps because his role model was the King of everlasting success. Nothing can make Yvo act hysterically.He brought the question back to Ace. "You seek for answers, don't you?"The chancellor knew of how to capture the attention of Ace. Immediately, his listener stopped, Ace weighed his curiosity. Of course, he always wanted answers. Questions bugged his thoughts, almost wearing them out.The room continued to maintain its silence, Yvo's words weren't enough to convince Ace. He needed to take the game up a notch."Neo Kizer, the infant whom you found by the woods." Yvo spoke with conviction.Ace's eyes almost widened, Neo was a secret between him and Pier, if Yvo knew about this then what more could he spilled."Continue, but m

Pier already took his flight for sleep, and the doctor had no other choice but to stare blankly at the emptiness infront of him. Sadly, it wasn't just depressing, but also distorting. With a vague gawk, Warren joined along with the silence. A weak sigh escaped from his throat, everything started to cascade down. It was the same night when Claire died. The laboratory creaked with sobs and whimpered shrieks. Warren laid scrounging on his knees with eyes gloomy in tears. The only reason for his fighting spirit died. Agony made him trash the whole place, broken glass was strewn like pebbles, he played with tantrums. The despicable fact of misery awaits him after the death of Claire. The doctor discovered the cure for cancer, but it was too late. A heavy ambience corrupted his heart continously. Claire's giggling lingered through his ears, but they were nothing but delusions. "Claire..." He weakly uttered. His mourning grew more painful and unsettling, solitude filled Warren's empty
