~Laith~
I was sick of everyone telling me how strong I needed to be all the time. They don't understand that I only act as strong because it's the only distraction I have from the thoughts of my inevitable unfortunate life.
Born to a cruel fate of having to destroy the one I love at the end of our journey and cursed through life for crimes I never committed.
I awakened in huanar to find Ywain standing next to me. His arms folded to his chest as he stared coldly at me.
"You are pitiable, " he uttered in disdain.
"I'm glad you have it in you to pity me. "
"Do you have a death wish, " Ywain screeched angrily.
"I don't, " I uttered in confusion.
"Have you any idea how many monsters are imprisoned in here? How many of them would chew right through you to be free?"
He gave me a hand to rise from the ground. I was touched to see him concerned about me.
"Why didn't you chew through and be free? " I inquired.
