"M-mom, is that r-really y-you?" the young boy said frantically
"Hun, are you alright? Of course, it's me!" his loving mother said cheerfully
Tears started flowing from the boy's eyes as he tried to wipe it away his worried mother got a cloth and wiped it for him. His mother hugged him as the boy wept, the boy wanted to think about other things but he really missed his mother so he just focused on her.
"Mom, how are you? Are you guys having fun?"
"Certainly we are! C'mon go and play with your dad and father!"
"B-but I'd rather stay with you right now, I really miss you and who knows when we're gonna meet again..."
"Awww, ain't that sweet...."
"Tarus!! Tarus!!" a familiar voice shouted to the young boy
"C-Cherri?!"
"What are you acting surprised for?! Stop being a cry baby and play with me!"
"B-but! I'd rather stay with mom right now!"
The young girl beside the apple tree showed a terrifying smile which petrified the boy beside his mother. The girl then started walking, slowly but surely, she let off a blood-curling aura. A loud clank was heard and it's coming from the jet black blade in the girl's hand as she dragged it along the ground, her clothes were engulfed with red blood.
"HEHEHEHE, it's all your fault! It's all your fault! That's why everyone in the village died instead of you! You deserve to die scumbag! You should just go and burn in hell for eternity! You don't know how the others in the village suffered!"
The boy is speechless, tears turned into blood, love turned into regret....the lifeless body of his mother beside him with blood flowing out of her mouth, covered in wounds....the boy tried to look around for something to cover the wounds with to stop the blood from flowing. The young boy checked his hands to see that he's holding a knife covered with blood...wide-eyed the boy screamed.
"MURDERER! YOU KILLED EVERYONE! YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO EXIST!"
"I-I d-d-didn't d-d-do anything!"
"STOP DENYING IT! PESKY BASTARD! KILLER! SLAUGHTERER! YOU DESERVE TO SUFFER AND BE REMOVED FROM EXISTENCE!"
The boy scurried quickly from the incoming girl with the blade in hand. He ran and ran leaving the lifeless body of his mother....he tripped and tripped going along the forest.....he came to a pond and drank some water as to refresh...but the water started to change into a murky color.....the boy followed the source of the murky water to see that it was his perished brother covered in metal spikes as the blood flowed from his body contaminating the river.....he hurriedly removed the spikes one by one from his brother's body but it's jammed in stuck. The loud clanking of the blade from the girl came near and the boy tried to carry his dead brother's body but it's too heavy....he ran away another time with regrets filling his mind. He came to a cliff overseeing the destroyed village filled with demons that varied in sizes, the whole village burned and the thick smoke filled the sky and the screams of the people were heard even a mile away...but no help arrived.....the boy stood there dumbfounded as he gazed at his surroundings with the clanking becoming even louder, he looked down the cliff to see his passed father body still burning.....he tried to do something but his body is tired and couldn't move anymore due to excess fatigue. He waited for his doom as the clanking became, even more, louder, he stood looking at the sky as the girl stopped on her tracks and readied the sword for a slice, with sudden slash the legs of the boy got cleanly cut and he fell on the ground, tears still dripping from his face he looked at the girl with a creepy smile still on face his arms got sliced off and the sword struck to his chest....the pain didn't bother the kid anymore. The girl raised the sword with the kid stuck on the edge and her smile even grew wider.
"This is where we bid farewell...T-A-R-U-S!!"
In the boy's last moments he saw a glimpse of his family waving bye at him and walking off to the end of the tunnel. The boy got tossed into the sky as the sword pierced his head. The boy woke up in a dark room where he is still chained by the fleshy arms and bones, with a wide-eyed look he saw the person who caused all this....the man clad in black with glowing eyes from the eye sockets in the skull and with 10 black horns forming a crown. Blood started flowing from the wound of the boy on his forehead where that person touched him, he saw marks on his body from the slices in the vision he had.
{You woke up?}
"W-who the hell are you?!" with a croaked voice the boy shouted with his remaining strength
{Still lively huh....not bad.....you have passed the first trial...time for the last and most devastating one.....}
The boy received a punch in the abdomen but he didn't feel anything...a few seconds pass the boy felt as if his soul left his body.....he opened his eyes to see that dead bodies piling up under the burning Yggdrasil. The towers of the seven sins were lit up with a menacing red glow. The demons were feasting on the dead bodies of the humans and magma filled the ground and the boy's feet instantly burned.....he crawled on top of the bodies to safety. The now crawling boy climbed up a mountain of corpses as he wandered through the now magma filled wasteland. The whole of Yggdrasil set ablaze letting out smoke thicker and bigger than anything to the boy had seen. He looked around and saw some familiar faces hung up on some vines in the burning tree, he quickly crawled his way there. Some time passed by and the boy got to the foot of the tree using bodies as platforms he made a huge pile, his bones and muscles were screaming in pain and blood still oozed from his burnt foot. A few hours passed and the sun is setting the boy finally reached the others still hanging from the vines of the tree. He crawled up to them and he tried his best to remove them from the shackles of the vines...the bodies of his friends were covered with wounds as blood dripped from their feet...their bodies were pale and cold to the touch...the boy tried everything he can do as he crawled to the last person on the edge...it's the young girls lifeless body, the vines let go of her body and the young boy caught her and he hugged her.....seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours and the boy just hugged her and stared at the starry night sky wishing that all this suffering could end....then suddenly the bodies of his other friends ignited into flames and burned with a pure white color....he has fallen into despair as he looked at them turning into ash and he turned his head to the girl in his arms praying that she wouldn't burn like the others.....a few seconds pass by instead of burning, tiny cracks appeared on the girls cold, dead body.....fragment by fragment her body turned into dust slowly but surely.....she faded into nothingness and the only thing the boy could do was weep.....
{Thou passed all trials.....Thou shall receive my will....."A regretful man's will"}
