A Life of Struggle and a Moment of Hope
The sound of the surroundings were drowned in by an uncomfortable silence.
He felt his existence fading into nothingness swallowing his life.
Darkness surrounded Baret.
For a moment, he felt nothing, no pain, no warmth, just emptiness.A moment ago he was fighting for his life but in the next moment, he found himself in uncanny surroundings.
Blood floated around him, tiny crimson drops staining the black void. He tried to move, but his body didn't respond. His hands, his feet… it was as if they had disappeared. He was drifting, weightless, like a dead fish on the surface of still water.
Then, he laughed.
"Hahaha…"
"So this is it?"
"Is this how my life ends?"
"Is this the pathetic end of Baret, the worthless thief?"
As he spoke, flashes of memories surfaced in his mind.
"Is this how death feels?"
"It's just so cruel.."Baret laughed aloud with teary eyes.
