After explaining all the stuff and giving up a dope final speech, I walked up the podium and stood next to the altar.
Many thoughts were running ramped in my head. I have never felt this hopeless ever before.
Even though I had faced many obstacles in my life, I had never given up hope. I always believed that one day I would be able to overcome all this and live a happy life.
Don't forget about all the revenge and repayments I was planning to pay back when I reach the top.
Most of all, the thing that hurts me most is not being able to fulfill my mother's only true wish.
All she wanted was to see me become a great person, to get a job, buy a house, own a car, marry a beautiful wife, and have a few kids with whom she can play and tell good night stories. She wanted me to open a charity to help people like us.
Even if it was at the end of her life, her wish was only to see others' happiness, ' Such a noblewoman '.
She didn't even want to make others pay for what they have done to her nor did she asks for riches or want to travel around the world as most people do.
Just the thought of passing away, not being able to fulfill her only wish and provide her with the comfort and love she deserves pains me.
Every passing second was painful for me, It was hurting me so much that even breathing normally was being a hard task.
I have never really thought my life would come to an end like this.
I was trying my best to hold back my emotion, to open my mouth and cry out loud, to curse out loud, and to beg for my life.
But knowing that it will not change anything, I bottled everything as always and step right next to the altar and kneeled, and leaned my upper body on the altar, to have my neck cut down.
Since they only need a few inches of blood to fill the altar( around 4 to 5 liters), they didn't want to make lay on the altar for some reason.
Leaning on the altar, I never broke my eye contact with Owen from the moment I had given him the explanation.
He had been able to see all the emotional turmoil I have been undergoing and my hatred for him, for pushing me into this tragedy.
Like how he was able to see my emotional turmoil, I too was able to see the guilt and pity in his eyes.
Just as we were watching each other the leader who had been using a short sword for sacrifices until now took a new blade out of nowhere.
Since both me and Owen, were busy in our own worlds we didn't notice him take out his sword from the ring he was wearing.
The new sword was pitch black, it looked like a long sword but without any handle, guard, or a sheath, and it was double edge as if it was to indicate that if not appropriately used it hurt the user as well.
" Since you decide to sacrifice yourself in the place of another, I adore your bravery and virtue for it, I shall provide you with the honorable death of a warrior "
Saying so he raised his sword high enough to chop off my head in one swing without making it painful.
Started blabbering something under his breath
And when he started raising his sword, the group below who had been scribbling till now stood up and started throwing Bright glowing shiny crystals into the blood pond from the pouches they were hanging on their belts.
As soon the crystal fell into the pond, the blood inside it slowly started glowing.
When all this was inside and the glow of the blood pond increasing, a group of pitch-black thunder clouds started to gather above the museum.
Within a few seconds of its debut, it started to expand up one kilometer around the museum, before it charged up with high voltage of gold crackles.
Even though it was completely packed it didn't rain down its wrath and stayed as if it was waiting for something.
Just as the leader completed his chanting and the blood pond started glowing to the brightest, the lighting which had been waiting til now started striking down on the museum.
The crowd of Lighting crackles started to gather up into one point and struck open the roof of the museum, and directly descend on the leader of the group.
As soon as the lighting reached the leader a thick invisible barrier took form and tried to protect the leader.
But it wasn't able to last long, the lighting soon penetrated the barrier and burned through the leader's heart l.
" Im...poss..ible.!"
With a deep hole in his chest and great disbelief in his eyes, the leader fell on the altar and died.
But the lighting's fury seems to have not been completed yet
Before anyone could think of anything, the lighting changed its trajectory and hit the altar.
As soon as the lighting hit the altar, the altar was destroyed into pieces, both me and the broken altar were blasted off from the podium where the altar was into the blood pond below us.
As soon as I was knocked into the blood I tried my best to swim out of the pond only found that I was unable to do so.
When tried to struggle my hand felt like it touched something, so I reached out to it only to find out that it was the leader's strange sword.
I immediately grab on to it so I can use it as a thruster and get up as the blood pond wasn't supposed to be deep from what I have seen earlier.
But I found myself unable to find the bottom of this pond soon neither was I able to stand up nor was I able to hold my breath and found my consciousness slowly fading away.
It felt as though I was drowning in a deep sea of blood. As I was drowning, struggling, and losing my consciousness, I felt like I suddenly saw a light in the deep blood sea.
As a last-ditch effort, I tried to reach out for it and when my hands touched something before I could see what it is, I lost my consciousness and drowned deep into the blood abyss.

Hearing the peaceful chirping of the birds, I felt like my soul have finally found my peace because from my birth to death my life was a complete mess.
Soon I opened my eyes to find myself in a room that looked like a dormitory in the old Castles.
I felt that something was wrong with this situation, so I immediately ran towards the window next to me only to be flabbergasted.
"Where in the Actual Fuck am I?"
