once the event was over there was a message.
[announcement: rest tonight, tomorrow at dusk the one, and only Zeus will have a special celebration for you all mortals. the celebration is going to take place on the Gold Room.]
Beau walks slowly in front of the Bravo- Holly Mommy-One base. Cake Eater walks behind of him with the eyes of a dead man with the sight of a man clinging to life. it is more than obvious why is he like that and what does he feel inside of his heart.
2nd-Hand Cigar walks behind of Beau and he makes a gesture trying to tell him to comprehend his mentally wounded friend. 2nd-Hand Cigar is desperate to see his friend in a better mental state now that he is the only friend he has left.
Psychotic Twin approaches her brother and she hugs him. she cries silently as she talks to him about things only those two can understand. from a decent distance is Karl watching them.
Karl closes his eyes as he feels the heavenly touch of his former lover. he feels her hands around of his neck. he wants to cry and scream once more, but he keeps to himself all of those feelings, the feelings of a broken soul.
on the entrance to the building with the virtual keys is Joaquin opening the doors to his companions. everyone gets inside of the building. some are ready to celebrate, others are ready to mourn the dead, others are ready to take a break from all this bloodbath as they sleep at peace for once in a long, really long time.
half of the members of the Guild went to their beds. others stayed on the first floor to drink something good before going to sleep.
Hero Teacher has a moment to say 'goodbye' to Peace Inn before he logs out of the game. the moment was spontaneous and they went to Peace Inn's chambers to 'discuss' some issues. those issues were loud enough for the others to know about it.
in a private room is Joaquin drinking a glass of water. at the other side of the room are 2nd-Hand Cigar & Alpha Purple Warrior. all of them are quiet as they await for one of them to break the silence.
after another minutes of silence one of them was about to speak when someone knocks on the door. Alpha Purple Warrior opens the door to see Organic Florist asking him for help with some things. Alpha Purple Warrior accepts to help, and he follows him out of the room.
"we need to talk about this."
"I know, I am the leader and as one, I affirm you that you two are save with me and my people. once we are stronger I will help you to skinned alive those who have wronged your people and mine. so please, I am just asking for patience."
"thanks, you have no idea how helpful those words are."
"I know, right now we aren't only at war with the Fallen Heroes, we are also at war with the Greek Gods. they haven't said it jet, but at some point I am sure they will may try to eliminate us if we are no longer entertainment or amusement for them."
"so, are we going to?"
"what? killing Gods? no, of course not. even if thousands of us were to attack the weakest of the Gods... in one single snap hundreds will die and then the rest in one single punch. what we need is to find a way to kill Gods, then we will see."
"do you believe if there is hope for us to live in peace?"
"the only peace that is guaranteed is the one that comes after death. before then there is never going to be any moment of peace that can last forever. not in the real world, and less likely on this other world."
"I see, nothing is easy in life."
"the word 'easy' was invented by the humans to give to themselves some kind of justification or probably to give themselves hope. but without the word 'easy' there is no word like 'difficult' which is the justification of the defeat we all face once on life."
on Beau's chambers; Beau is in front of Leah who is standing on her underwear. she wanted to spend the night with him without doing anything not child friendly. Beau isn't sure if she is just playing with his heart or if she trusted on him.
Beau walks closer to her and he walks slowly behind her. he kisses her neck, he then kisses her face. he whispers things on her ears.
Beau tells her about how long he has been waiting in loneliness for the touch of another heart. how long has been since the last time that he saw the rain, the sky and the moon and he felt a special touch on his soul.
Leah turns around and she touches his face with a gentle touch. she brings her lips closer to him. his eyes are as bright as the stars as he looks with love at her.
Beau had given up on love and everything that comes with it. he asks himself 'why? why is that it is now that I had given up that I finally find you, you my other half.'
a tear falls from Leah's eyes. she feels so many things on her chest. for so long she dreamed of a blue prince to bring joy to her days. when she forgot about her dreams was when she found her blue prince, he wasn't like the men that she dream about, but he was perfect on his own way.
Beau kisses her. he feels the steps to heaven in every second that passes with their lips, and tongues connected. he caresses her hair with care and affection. Leah puts her hands on the ass of Beau and she slaps it.
at the same time on Willow's room; Hero Teacher is sitting on the bed. he looks at the door of the room. he wants to stand up, but he is stop by Willow who is hugging him from behind. she whispers naughty things on his ear.
Hero Teacher tells her about the time he has left. Willow lets him know that she isn't sure if she is going to keep going. she is afraid of killing innocent people.
Hero Teacher coughs blood. he kisses her lips before saying goodbye. he logs out. Willow stays on her bed thinking about the future.
someone knocks on the door loudly. Willow tells him to enter. Don-Savage opens the door. he gets inside with a sad look on his face. he wants to say something, but then he stops talking. he turns around about to leave.
"Ed wait, I believe in you, even when I am always saying the opposite I do believe on you."
said Willow with some sadness.
"you are going to become a neutral player, aren't you? I don't want that. we work well as a duo, how can a sibling work without the other one?"
said Ed feeling conflicted.
"Ed, I can't hurt other humans. I am not just some hypocrite, but the idea of killing someone is difficult for me, if he or she is evil or good. the idea of hurting good people for my own good sounds terrible and it isn't morally correct. I know you are strong of will and mind, so I want you to stay here with them, I want you to fight with them."
said Willow as she swallows saliva.
"when the world turned against us, it was you who gave me shelter and protection. I have become dependent of your presence and your smile."
said Ed trying to hold his tears.
"is normal to grow up, it is time for you to grow up. I can't be your protector nor your hero for all the eternity. dear brother, you are the most important person on my life."
"I am too weak, I am too stupid, I am too dependent. I can't think on my own nor be more than a shadow of what you can be. I really need of you."
"sorry, I can't take part on this events nor fights anymore. I had seen enough blood and dead bodies to know that I will be swallowed by madness if I stay in this pointless battle against destiny. I can't take part on this battle, please you can keep fighting."
Ed understood. he nods as he leaves the room.
Willow is left alone on the room as she thinks about the time she had with Hero Teacher. Willow thinks about many things before she walks out of her room. she keeps walking until she was eventually outside of the building.
Willow sits on a chair. she stays in there staring at the sky, at the moon for a moment in silence. Willow sighs as she thinks of her next move.
"I know you are there Zeus. I want to be a neutral player."
yields Willow with a neutral tone of voice.
Zeus becomes visible as he is sitting next to her. Zeus is reading a book of poems. Willow looks at him who is still reading the book. Zeus takes his glasses off. he closes the book and then he looks at her.
"so you want to be a neutral player? I don't ask questions usually. well it is late and there are many important things I have to do..... I am going to be nice with you, I will let you take part on the Gold room to say goodbye, but since today you are no longer a player."
said Zeus with a serious tone of voice.
[announcement: the "Offering" known as Peace Inn has become a neutral player. Zeus the all powerful Deity has given to the 'Offering' the opportunity to take part on the Gold room as a form of farewell to her comrades.]
"I used to regret my past mistakes and more, but since I entered inside of this world I no longer regret things that happened on the past, the past is done, is already gone. what matters is the present and what I do with it."
said Willow with a peaceful face.
Zeus stands up. he looks at Willow. in his face is reflected the look of a paternal figure. he speaks to her with the voice of a loving father to a kid. he says goodbye as he walks back to his tower.
Willow is just there as she becomes a witness of the beauty that is hidden on the other side of this world. she smiles as she thinks that her time is over, now is time for her brother to take his own path and to learn to fight by himself.
inside of the base; Joaquin is behind his desk looking at the watch on his left arm. he seems to be nervous as he looks up at 2nd-Hand Cigar, who is just standing in there awaiting for a command from his new boss.
their argument about the future of the guild and the future battles against their common enemy ended five minutes ago. Joaquin is now waiting for Cake Eater to return so they can talk about some things in private.
2nd-Hand Cigar is sweating as he starts to talk about a different subject avoiding to make eye contact with the boss. he laughs awkwardly.
after some time Cake Eater was back on the room. he smiles feeling calmer after a cup of coffee & an argument that allowed him to take out of his mind the memories of the 'attack.'
Cake Eater asks a strange question that neither 2nd-Hand Cigar nor Joaquin were waiting for. it seems like Cake Eater has a clear idea of what is the first thing that he wants to do as a new member of this guild.
far from the Hero Guild Base, on a bar that belongs to the Ferryman; Man with no Face was pretending to be a bartender as he makes some drinks. the door of the front door is opened by someone who walks slowly inside of the bar.
at the time there are about ten members of the Western Legends Guild inside of the bar. a figure on a black cloak walks slowly towards Man with no Face's direction. the figure stops walking as this person asks for a a sweet drink.
Man with no Face puts a special drink on the table. he looks at the figure with a wicked smile as he recognized the mole that he has planted inside of the Bravo-Holly Mommy-One Hero Guild.
"no one saw me when I left. I am ready to receive the command of Lord Ferryman."
said the Mole using a device to distort their voice.
"welcome home executioner."
said Man with no Face with a creepy smile.
"I am ready to kill Beau Nguyen."
said the Mole with thirst for blood.
"we are still waiting for the Ferryman to give you the permission to execute him."
said Man with no Face followed by an evil laughter.
the plan was to kill Beau soon. he is not a danger, but they believe that he will return as a NPC like Joaquin and that is why they want him dead.
