Chapter 20 - Candle is still burning

(Stranger with hooded cloak)

"And yes is it"

"more important I want to see my son."

(Martin)

"You must know why I left my position in the first place."

(Stranger with hooded cloak)

*looked sad*

"yeah"

I was born without a family. I was only raised in an orphanage. When I grew up as an adult, I continued to wander around the world.But one day, my travel goal was achieved without me expecting it. My day was filled with blooming love. I was blessed with sons and a wife who they can color my beautiful life.

(William)

"Daddy-daddy,take this?"

(Me)

"Huh"

"Is it?"

(William)

"Yes daddy"

"This is the apple I picked with big brother."

(Me)

"Thank little one."

"Here come closer to me."

*while cutting the fruit with a knife*

*give a piece of apple to william*

"isn't it sweet?

(William)

*Nod*

"Hmmm"

"Sweet and sour."

(Me)

*Smile*

"good to hear"

" And let's give it to your brother and mommy."

(William)

*Nod*

"Hmm"

(Me)

"Honey"

"let's eat this fruit together."

"You might like it because our boys pick it up."

" come here."

"Ernest"

(Ernest)

*Holding my wife hands*

"I coming daddy"

(Wife)

*Eating slice of apple."

"Oh my so good dear."

(Me)

*smile*

"Yeah is it."

But I am failure in carrying out my duties as father and husband. I wander from one area to another to find an antidote for my beloved wife. Regions change countries. My journey full of hills and very steep mountains.My longing is treated with a bit of my dearest image that can burn the fire of my spirit which wants to be extinguished more and more.

The sun rises and sets like water dripping from a sink. I have reached the success of my journey.When I started making my way home, I felt as if a mushroom had grown in my heart.As I approached my home's forest, my heart began to race.

I threw that feeling away and continued my journey. I was accompanied by crying and a sense of anger that sounded like a child. I kept looking for the crying and was surprised that the crying was my little one,william.I saw him crying near the lifeless figure of my son.I continued to hug him tightly and my tears began to flood my face.

*crying*

"Forgive me, little one"

A few days have passed, I have started to lose my sanity. My son and wife have left me in this world.I could only cry and the guilt started wanting to be friends with me.

*Regret*

*Flash back 1*

(Wife)

*cough*

*cough*

"Honey, you don't have to worry about me. This is a normal pain. I'll be fine again in two or three days.

(Me)

"I promise I will find a cure."

This is not a common disease and this disease did not come suddenly. It was a legitimate act by someone. But who? I need find the cure fast as posible."

*Insanity*

(Flash back 2)

*Punch himself*

*Punch himself*

(Martin)

Immediately approaching.

"What are you doing?"

"And why are you torturing yourself

(Me)

"Please stay away from me Martin.

"I can't take this anymore"

"why them?"

"My wife"

"My son"

"My parent"

"************"

(Martin)

*Anger*

*Punch*

*Punch*

*Grip the collar*

"Hold up yourself"

*shaking*

"Listen, you still have a family."

"Do you want to leave him alone?"

"Your responsibility is not over yet"

"I know this fate will not stop here."

"Your still have william on your side*

"Strengthen yourself so that you can become a candle that illuminates his dark road."

(Me)

*start to realize*

*crying*

"I still have family."

"And I still have responsibilities."

*started standing up*

"I have to be strong to protect him"

"Your dad will become strong little one."

That's what I went through in terms of bitter recollections. However, I was born without any talent. I merely poured drips of sweat into every endeavor to cover all of my flaws in every nook and cranny. One day, though,

*smash*

* bam*

What is this earthquake. The sky is just flooded with flying birds.*Be aware*Was William outside earlier. *anxious* Well I need to see what is happening outside.

"Little one are you alright son?"

"little one?"

*shocked*

(William)

*suffer*

"Pain"

"this pain. My body feels like it's on fire.

I saw William lying in pain. But as I continued to approach him I felt a different aura with him.*Shocked*oh is this the awakened?Once again I'm still behind them.

(William)

*laugh*

*laugh*

"I've gotten a little stronger than before."

*serious expression*

*look to me*

"Dad,I will kill her for sure one day."

This is the first time I've seen a small youngster seem solemn. He has begun to mature. And one day he'll abandon me to exact our vengeance. To help him reach his objective, I must work harder, even if it means sacrificing something. Your father will act as a shield for you until you are ready to launch an attack on our adversary.

(Me)

*smile*

*petting the head*

"you still have a long way to go for that"

(William)

"Huh"

"seriously"

"But I will never give up as long as I am unable to attain it."

(Me)

*Smile*

"But it seems that your training will be doubled from now on."

"it seems you will feel the real torture from tomorrow."

(William)

*excited*

"alright"

...

-back to present-

(Ishan)

*Breathing intermittently*

This bastard really crazy. He's still attacking me.

*Shaking*

*smile*

"Is time to all out"
