[Erio's POV]
With the sudden reappearance of the Face, my feet started trembling. Much sweat boiled down my cheeks as did a few drop of tears. My heart shook harder than it shook the first time I saw Him, whatever He is. As if He is my death itself, the very feeling of his presence bought me many harsh frightening emotions.
Yes, I gave up at the moment, pretty pitiful of me, I know. I gave up to him, for if he called my life back, how could I possibly object to it? Afterall, I commited a suicide in my past life.
I looked at my side to find my mates, my new and only friends Silver and Aisy. Aisy, like me, was shivering. Although, we have been here together for only two days, I know her. She isn't like that, she is calm and modest. Beautiful but the last to express that beauty. And lastly, I say, she was brave as well. I just know it.
She was trembling there, I could see even in the darkness, silently. I saw her feet was about to almost kneel down before the Face. Her looks showed a complete pale color as if it had no life anymore. But then, there was the other guy. A... mystery, I don't know.
Silver, I don't understand him. All this time, even now, he is yet to show a little expression in his face. Except for the time he slightly blushed, I guess. Oh, and he looks surprised at times when then, he did just stare at the guy almost as if he is mocking him acting to be surprised. Not to mention, that his skill was definitely the strongest one I had seen yet. I... Don't understand him. He hardly talks and doesn't waste a single word. Intelligent? Of course he is. His very looks tell me that he was and is a dangerously clever guy. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end he turns out to become a hypnotist too.
But now, he took it to the extreme. Suddenly, facing above looking at the Face with a "Oh here he comes again" mood he says, "Looks funny. We might die."
Is he sane? Oh.. Or maybe he is awake. Not blinded by emotions like all these emotions like me. I see now, he has broken the chains of his heart. He doesn't care about consequences anymore.
"I know right? Nice meeting you two." I replied so as to if this is our last piece of conversation.
"Me too, guys a heaven exists right?" said Aisy.
I don't know if Silver noticed but I saw it. Her whole face was full of tears, sobbing like a baby she said all these. Silver however, focused opening those 'Crystal Eyes' of him, was trying to get a better grasp of the situation.
Yea, Silver is not insane, he is the most sane man right now. I am just stupid. If the Face is taking me back, I will see to it, that's what I thought. Not that my fear was gone but seeing Silver, it did reduce, I say.. For only a few seconds though.
As my fate had it, suddenly out of nowhere, the Void took over again. Whiteness, and nothing else.
I struggled, my lungs with no little air was almost getting burst but then I somehow turned back and as if that was a refill, I got myself back. But to my horror! I saw hundreds if not thousands of people there, flying as statues in the void. I tried to figure out who they might be and the only reasonable conclusion was that they were the Civilians of Antarah. All, petrified.
Tears again came out of my eyes. It was hurting, what do I do. Is this the end? The end?
"Erio," the ancient and unique tone called me then. It was the Face, I knew.
Eyes wide open, I looked above to find him. He was right there, with a design of plain disappointment in its... Appearance?
Words failed to come out of my mouth. My vision got only blurry because of the tears, and at the end I started screaming of pain and hopelessness to which the Face at last responded,
"Eriomight!"
"Yes." I replied, somehow, still sobbing but my mind was near to clearing up.
"Eriomight Bernard, Did you forget..."
