Mito moved like a shadow through the village, he freed all the villagers discreetly, one by one, he took them out of their cells, he hid them in the cellar, he told them to stay silent, not to move, they obeyed, they were scared, but they trusted him, Mito returned to the village, he struck all the soldiers, one by one, silently, quickly, precisely, they fell without a sound, without a cry, they wouldn’t wake up for hours, Mito looked at the old man, he was sitting on his chair, he was smiling, Mito looked at him “why are you smiling?”, the old man didn’t answer, he kept smiling, Mito didn’t understand, but he didn’t have time, he had to leave, he had to return to the palace, he had to warn the Princess of Vic’s imminent attack, he left the house, he mounted his horse, he left.
The old man stayed alone, he waited a few minutes, then he stood up, he walked to a small door at the back of the house, he knocked three times, the door opened, a man entered, it was General Goran, he was tall, muscular, his black armor shone in the candlelight, his massive sword was at his belt, he looked at the old man “so?”, the old man bowed “he left, my lord, he freed the villagers, he struck your soldiers, but he left, he doesn’t know you are here”, the general smiled “perfect, everything is going as planned, Vic will be pleased”, the old man asked “what should I do now?”, the general replied “nothing, you stay here, you wait for my orders, I will take care of the rest”, the old man nodded “yes, my lord”.
The general left the house, he walked through the dark streets of the village, the moon shone above him, he looked at the burned houses, the debris, the bodies of unconscious soldiers, he felt nothing, he hadn’t felt anything for a long time, he stopped in the center of the village, he looked around, he saw someone standing on a wall, the moonlight struck him, he couldn’t see his face, but he saw his silhouette, a thin silhouette, motionless, silent, the general squinted, he tried to see who it was, the silhouette descended, it landed in front of him, it was Mito.
The general was surprised “how?
You were here?
I thought you had left”, Mito said “you thought you could escape me?”, the general said “how did you know?”, Mito replied “I just felt it, I know Vic will attack soon, but you weren’t gone, the old man lied to me, he warned you, I understood when he smiled, he smiled because he knew you were coming”, the general laughed “you are intelligent, Mito, more intelligent than I thought”, Mito said “I’m not intelligent, I’m just suspicious”, the general drew his sword “so, we’ll see if you’re as strong as you are intelligent”.
Sophie shouted “Mito!”, she was hidden behind a house, she had followed Mito, she couldn’t stay in the cellar, she was afraid for him, Mito looked at her “stay behind me”, Sophie nodded, she stepped back, she hid, the general laughed “you’re going to die, Mito”, Mito said “it’s not the first time I’ve heard that”. This chapter is updated first at novelping . com.
The general rushed forward, ten sword strikes, Mito blocked with his sword, the two swords clashed, the sound echoed through the village, sparks flew, the two swords fell to the ground, the general punched Mito, Mito fell, he rolled on the ground, he stood up, the general struck him again, Mito blocked, he kicked, the general fell, he stood up, he said “I never betray Vic”, Mito asked “why?
Vic is a monster”, the general shouted “shut up!
Vic is not a monster, he is my savior!”, Mito asked “how?”, the general said “fire expand!”, a red flame appeared around his fists, Mito also used his “phoenix fire expand!”, the two flames crossed, they clashed, the heat was intense, Mito said “Vic is using you!”, the general said “no, you know, it’s people who are more evil”, Mito asked “how so?”, the general replied “when I was eight years old, humans hated me because of my fish nose, they threw stones at me, they killed my parents”, Mito said “I conquered the same thing, but he didn’t reveal it”, the general shouted “you’re lying!”, he increased his flame, he struck Mito, Mito burned, he broke five houses in the village, he fell, burned, bare-chested, the general was tired, he fell too.
Stop!”, Sophie approached Mito “are you okay?”, Mito said “tell them to stop”, Sophie shouted “stop!”, but they weren’t listening, Mito stood up, he jumped, he placed himself in the center of them, the wind blew hard, they stepped back, Mito said “stop!”, the villagers said “no, we must kill him, he’s a monster with a fish nose”, Mito said “he’s not a monster”, they all refused, they said “he must die”, Mito said “he did all this because of humans, because of you, but you forgot, he was kind”, the villagers said “it wasn’t in Richoa, kill him!”, Mito said “he can have a second chance”, they refused, they shouted “kill him!”.
Mito said “okay, if you answer me, you can kill him, if it were you, would you accept dying like a dog or having a second chance?”, they didn’t answer, Mito said “you accepted to live now fulfilled, it’s the same with him”, Mito looked at the general, he extended his hand to lift him up, but the general took his sword and pierced his stomach, blood flowed, Mito embraced him and said “I know, you’re not evil, you just lost the true path”, he fell, the general looked at him, touched by his words, completely, he knelt down, he began to say “no, no, no, no”, he took Mito’s hand, he began to heal him “no, Mito, don’t die”, tears flowed, the villagers watched.
